Back in the capital, before they could even rest for a few days, Xie Yan sprang into action like a wound-up clock, as they had a lot to do since their return.
Not only do they need to find suitable schools for their four children, but they also need to arrange for the move.
Fortunately, the area where their new home is located has abundant educational resources, as there is a university there, and primary schools and kindergartens are everywhere, offering a wide range of choices.
However, having more also has its downsides, namely, making it difficult to choose.
Xie Yan ran around non-stop, asking neighbors about the pros and cons of various schools. After several comparisons, she finally chose a school for her four children.
The enrollment process is simple. They have transferred their household registration back with them, so enrollment is a natural thing.
Nowadays, people don't compete for educational resources like they would in later generations; everyone says to go to school nearby.
When Xie Yan was choosing schools for her children, she did not focus solely on the quality of the teaching staff.
After all, the children had grown up in the countryside, and he was more worried that they might be bullied by the local children because of differences in region and lifestyle. Therefore, he focused on investigating the school's atmosphere, especially the quality of the children and teachers.
In particular, after inquiring about how teachers handle situations like children fighting, he believes that this largely reflects the school's overall educational philosophy and atmosphere. If teachers handle things properly, resolving the issues fairly and justly while guiding children to handle conflicts correctly, then that's the kind of school he envisions for children's growth.
After choosing a school for the child, the next thing to do is move.
Xie Yan had purchased a rather exquisite little villa near the Agricultural University last year, complete with front and back gardens.
This house belonged to an elderly professor who was exonerated last year.
The old professor was sent to a very remote place. Although the material conditions were quite poor, the local customs were simple and honest.
There, the old professor did not suffer too much hardship. Instead, he brought about many positive changes to the local area with his knowledge and wisdom, and the locals loved the old professor and his family very much.
After the old professor was exonerated, the house that had been confiscated was returned to its rightful owner.
After much deliberation, the old professor was worried that having too many houses might cause trouble again, and he had already decided to spend his old age in this place where he had been sent down to the countryside. So he decided to let only his son return to the city.
Thinking that he only had one son, leaving an old house for his child to live in would be enough. Based on these considerations, the old professor finally decided to sell the small villa.
Xie Yan made the purchase immediately after receiving the news.
Previously, this place had been inhabited by many people, and the once beautiful villa had been renovated to the point of being unrecognizable. Last year, he simply didn't have the time to clean it up, so he entrusted Zhang Cehan to help with the renovation.
Zhang Cehan certainly didn't disappoint; with his excellent aesthetic sense, he renovated the small villa and gave it a brand-new look.
Considering that Yu Yuehui liked farming, Xie Yan specifically instructed that the original appearance of the backyard be preserved and used directly to create a small vegetable garden.
In the front yard, many beautiful bouquets of flowers have been transplanted. Whenever a breeze blows, the flowers sway gently and release a fragrant aroma, like a colorful painting.
After looking around the villa, the group was very satisfied, especially Chaochao. The villa had a large open space, and the outside was perfect for exercise. After walking around for a while, they had a general idea of how to train their younger siblings.
After wandering around outside for a while, the four of them returned and started choosing their rooms. In the end, Yangyang and Maodan chose the second floor, Chaochao and Tangtang chose the third floor, and Xie Yan and Yu Yue also chose the second floor. On the left side of the first floor, Xie Yan had set up a pharmacy, and on the right side were the kitchen and dining room.
After the selection was made, the children began to decorate the room. Xie Yan and Yu Yuehui helped to put away the large items, while the children were allowed to make the small decorations themselves.
To be honest, the two older kids decorated the room quite well, but the room decorated by the two younger kids was truly laughable.
Yangyang, in particular, has recently become obsessed with "Journey to the West," filling the entire room with monkey figurines of various shapes and sizes, as if he had stepped into the Flower and Fruit Mountain.
From the bedside to the corner of the table, from the windowsill to the bookshelf, monkeys are everywhere, as if they are preparing to wreak havoc in the heavens.
Tangtang's room was a bit better, but she had a fondness for bright colors and wanted to get bright red sheets and blankets. Xie Yan's eyelids twitched as he looked at her, secretly marveling at how Tangtang really had a queen-like demeanor.
In the end, Xie Yan thoughtfully chose pink curtains, duvet covers, and sheets for her. The soft color, like peach blossoms in spring, added a touch of warmth to the room.
After the house was completely cleaned up and she moved in, it was only a few days before Yu Yue returned to her hometown and the start of the new school term.
Chaochao and Tongtong, these two little ones, have a deep bond and are still inseparable.
Now that they no longer live together, in order to continue to be together, the only option is to choose the same school located between the two families.
Yu Yue returned to school earlier than the three children. That day, the sun was shining brightly, and Xie Yan specially brought the three children to accompany Yu Yue back to school.
Upon entering the College of Agriculture, one sees a bustling campus. Since there are relatively few female students in the College of Agriculture, most of the students are tall and strong males.
Of course, there were also some girls among them, but their numbers were significantly fewer than those of the boys.
After arriving at the registration office and successfully completing the formalities, the group headed to Yu Yuehui's dormitory, room 202, with their bedding.
Pushing open the door, I saw a girl already making her bed in the dormitory.
She was dark-skinned and thin, but had a pair of exceptionally bright eyes that seemed to hold the brilliance of stars. At first glance, she exuded vitality.
Yu Yuehui smiled at her in a friendly manner, walked to her bed on the left side of the window, put her things down one by one, and then said softly to the girl, "Hello, my name is Yu Yuehui."
"Hello, Mingxia." The girl smiled back, her voice clear and pleasant, but she was clearly not talkative. After saying her name, she lowered her head to tidy the sheets and stopped talking.
Seeing this, Yu Yuehui also began to tidy up her window area. With Mao Dan and Chaochao helping, Xie Yan couldn't get involved and could only watch from the side, holding back the two younger ones to prevent them from making things worse.
Just as I finished making my bed, the dormitory door was pushed open again, and a fair-skinned, very cute girl walked in.
She probably didn't expect there to be so many people in the house, especially when she saw two children. She was stunned for a moment, her eyes wide open. She stepped back in disbelief and carefully checked the house number to make sure it was 202 before cautiously walking back in.
Upon seeing this, Yu Yuehui smiled and explained, "This is my husband and several children. They accompanied me here to register today."
