Mo Youyou was in a great mood when she left the kindergarten with Liu Shengrui.
"Come on, Xiao Rui, Mommy will take you shopping. We'll buy new toys and eat delicious food, okay?" Mo Youyou said happily.
Liu Shengrui didn't know what was going on, but he understood that it involved eating delicious food and buying toys, so he immediately laughed.
"Buy! Buy!"
"Let's go!" Mo Youyou was especially happy.
Buying toys was Liu Shengrui's most exciting moment, and Mo Youyou took this opportunity to have a good talk with her son.
"Xiao Rui, you're going to school tomorrow. Are you happy?" Mo Youyou asked.
Liu Shengrui didn't understand. He played with his toys, blinked his big eyes, and looked innocently at Mo Youyou without reacting.
“Going to school means going to kindergarten. We just went to that place, you saw it, there are lots of fun things there, like a small playground, right?”
Liu Shengrui heard something amusing and nodded blankly.
"There are many other children in the kindergarten, all around your age, more than the children in the yard. If you go to kindergarten, Xiao Rui can play with them every day. Do you want to go, Xiao Rui?"
Play? Kids? Lots?
"Yes!" Liu Shengrui nodded, his attention finally shifting from the toy to Mo Youyou's words.
"Oh, our little Rui is such a good boy! Mom knew he was a good boy!" Mo Youyou pinched her son's chubby little face. "But when you go to kindergarten, you have to listen to the teacher. You can't go against the teacher or be mean to the other children, right, Rui?"
Liu Shengrui couldn't understand again, and his innocent, bewildered look returned.
Mo Youyou had a bit of a headache.
Shen Peizhen agreed to make an exception and let Liu Shengrui go to school first, knowing that the condition was that Liu Shengrui had to behave well at school. If he continued to hit other children in the yard and kindergarten as before, he would probably be expelled sooner or later.
"When Xiao Rui sees other children, he should greet them kindly and speak nicely. Even if there is anything that makes him unhappy, he must never hit anyone, understand?" Mo Youyou instructed again.
But Liu Shengrui remained blankly bewildered, which frustrated Mo Youyou. However, she had to talk to Liu Shengrui beforehand, otherwise all her efforts today would be in vain.
"Does Xiao Rui want to make friends?" Mo Youyou asked, rephrasing her question.
"Yes." Liu Shengrui understood this and nodded, his eyes revealing longing.
Mo Youyou's heart softened instantly at the look in her son's eyes. Her little Rui had really suffered a great injustice, being ostracized by the bratty kids in the compound at such a young age...
"So, nobody likes to play with kids who hit others or are mean. If Xiao Rui hits someone again, just like in the yard, everyone will run away. Does Xiao Rui want that?"
Liu Shengrui immediately shook his head; he didn't want to!
"As long as Xiao Rui doesn't hit anyone and is friendly to everyone, then other children will want to be your friends, understand?"
Mo Youyou repeatedly gave her instructions many times.
You can't hit people, you have to be friendly. At least Liu Shengrui remembered this a little.
She bought her son new clothes and a new schoolbag before happily returning home to tell Liu Dekai and Zhang Cuihua the good news.
"Honey, Principal Shen has agreed. Xiao Rui will join the Sun Class as a transfer student tomorrow," Mo Youyou said happily, feeling that she had accomplished something great.
Liu Dekai was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Mo Youyou would actually make it happen, after all, Liu Shengrui was not old enough.
"That's great, you've worked hard," Liu Dekai said.
Zhang Cuihua was quite happy. Although her eldest grandson was pitiful, having to go to school at such a young age, she thought that education was a good thing. Her little darling was so capable, he deserved to study!
“Youyou, I’ll pick up and drop off Xiaorui from now on. You two are both so busy…” Zhang Cuihua said.
“Not for now,” Mo Youyou said coldly to Zhang Cuihua, her smile vanishing. “I will personally pick you up and drop you off during the initial period of enrollment. Once you are more familiar with the place, you can accept the arrangement.”
"Okay, okay, whatever you say!"
Zhang Cuihua could sense Mo Youyou's disdain for her, but she kept quiet. If she really wanted to argue, she would only make a fool of herself.
Liu Dekai started to have a headache; Mo Youyou had really become...
It seems he'll have to find a way to spend more time in the military and build his career; that would be much better than going home and dealing with all these troubles.
"Youyou, what does 'Sun Class' mean?" Zhang Cuihua was very curious. She knew about kindergartens, but didn't know the specifics. After all, her eldest grandson was going to school, so it wouldn't hurt for her to know more.
"It's the name of the class. The younger children are in the small class. The military kindergarten has three small classes: the Star Class, the Moon Class, and the Sun Class. Xiao Rui joined the Sun Class," Mo Youyou explained.
Although she disliked Zhang Cuihua, once she stepped outside, Zhang Cuihua was still known as Mo Youyou's mother-in-law. If Zhang Cuihua knew nothing, wouldn't she be the one who lost face?
Despite my dislike, I still have to put up with it.
"I see. What's Xiao Rui's teacher's name?" Zhang Cuihua asked again.
"Her surname is Yan, and her name is Yan Shiling. It is said that Teacher Yan has a very gentle temperament and is very patient with children. Principal Shen specially transferred Xiao Rui to the Sun Class," Mo Youyou said.
"That's good, that's good! Our Xiao Rui is so great, he deserves the best teachers!" Zhang Cuihua was satisfied now.
The next day, Mo Youyou personally took Liu Shengrui to kindergarten.
Wearing new clothes and carrying a new little backpack, I set off.
Mo Youyou was worried that her leaving would upset Liu Shengrui, but he let go of her hand and happily ran into the kindergarten like a gust of wind.
Mo Youyou herself was the one who felt disappointed, but at the same time, she also felt extremely gratified.
"Teacher Yan, we're really counting on you for Xiao Rui. He's a little young, but he's very sensible and well-behaved. He won't cause you any trouble," Mo Youyou said, trying to get closer to him.
"Don't worry, Xiao Rui's mom. We treat every child equally, so you don't need to worry," Yan Shiling said, leading Liu Shengrui into the classroom.
Mo Youyou didn't see what happened after that, and went to work at the military base with a heavy heart.
Despite the sweet talk she gave at the kindergarten, Mo Youyou knew perfectly well what kind of person her own son was and why she was in such a hurry to send Liu Shengrui to kindergarten.
All day long, Mo Youyou felt uneasy, afraid that the kindergarten teacher would come and say that her son, Xiao Rui, had caused trouble and would be asked to leave!
Even when it was time to pick up Liu Shengrui after school, Mo Youyou was still very worried.
