"Oh, I almost forgot."
"Ruoruo, Tiedan, you two should be able to start first grade this semester."
"Your father and I want you to go to the primary school affiliated with the military region. It is also close to the family compound, so it will be convenient for you to go to school."
"What do you two think about going to school?"
Fortunately, Ruan Suhe remembered to go to school at this moment, otherwise she would have been busy with the miscellaneous matters at the cosmetics factory.
"Mom, Ronghua next door said that we are country folks and we won't learn anything in school. It would be better for us to sell pig grass to earn some money to support the family."
"She also said that we were illiterate and didn't know pinyin, so the school would definitely not accept us. She said the school's entrance exam was very strict."
"How about my brother and I go cut grass for the pigs tomorrow, and then ask Dad to help us take it to the market to sell it for money?"
Ruoruo spoke in a series of sentences, as if she had been holding it in for a long time. Sometimes she was confused, and sometimes she seemed to understand what Ronghua said.
...
...
"Ronghua? Su Ronghua from next door? When did she tell you all this?"
"Do you think it's credible what she said as a child?"
"You two have never received formal training. How can you conclude that you are not cut out for study?"
Ruan Suhe was very surprised after hearing what Ruoruo said.
She had never expected that a child could say such derogatory words to a peer.
It is true that like mother, like daughter. It is said that parents are the first teachers of their children. The reason why Su Ronghua became like this must have been influenced by her improper mother.
"But, Ronghua said that the exam is very difficult and requires writing. I, I don't know how to... um~"
Ruoruo's psychological maturity is much lower than Tiedan's, and her impression of school is now full of fear.
Ruoruo was looking at Ruan Suhe with tears in her eyes. She seemed to want to say something but didn't dare to, which made Ruan Suhe feel distressed.
"Oh, Ruoruo, don't be afraid. It's not as difficult as Ronghua said. Really, just believe what mom says."
"Okay, okay, don't cry, let's eat. Try the food mom cooked today and see if it's delicious."
Ruan Suhe knew that given Ruoruo's current condition, school could not be mentioned at all.
He picked up a piece of stir-fried cauliflower vermicelli and pork slices with chopsticks and put it in Ruoruo's bowl, trying to divert her attention.
Fortunately, Ruoruo is a little greedy cat. When she sees something delicious, she puts aside all the grievances she has just had.
Ruoruo was the only one speaking during the entire question, while Tiedan remained silent throughout the question.
Ruan Suhe didn't expect him to reply to her immediately. The fact that he didn't object meant that he was eager to go to school.
In the following time, the family of four were all immersed in enjoying the food, with their mouths filled with delicious food and no time to talk.
Of course, Ruan Suhe is not particularly indulgent. She sets small dietary goals for herself.
Eat a fist-sized portion of rice, at least five slices of meat, and let the tomatoes float in the egg soup to make sure they are no longer sweet before eating.
Although these are few in number, putting them together still makes one feel full. Later on, she still felt her stomach was a little empty, so she drank two small bowls of egg soup.
All in all, this is a healthy diet. As long as she eats until she is 70% full, she can gradually lose weight.
After washing the pots and pans, the two little kids were playing in the open space outside the courtyard gate, while Ruan Suhe came to the vegetable garden to visit the newly sprouted seedlings.
"Hey! Did you hear that your family is eating meat again? You are really rich, Tiedan, do you know that your mother's money comes from unknown sources? It's not money earned through legitimate channels."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, really, even after all this, you two are still in the mood to play here?"
The young wife next door seemed to have heard the two little brats playing outside the yard, so she opened her own door and leaned against the wall, speaking in a sarcastic tone.
She didn't care whether the two little ones could understand or not, and just kept talking to the two children.
"What channel? She works as a translator at the Cotton Cosmetics Factory, translating for Chinese and foreigners to facilitate direct communication between them."
"You are the one who knows nothing."
Although Ruan Suhe's body was in the vegetable garden, her ears had already floated outside the yard.
She was very happy when she heard Tiedan defending her, but she also put away the smile on her face because of the sarcasm of the young wife of the Su family.
"Tsk tsk tsk, you're still young, you don't know anything, adults sometimes lie too."
The young wife of the Su family was about to continue speaking in a sarcastic tone when she was interrupted by her own daughter.
"Ruoruo, Ruoruo, do you still want to go to school now?"
"Let me tell you, the school is terrible, the teachers are fierce, and you will be spanked during class."
"I'm not saying anything, Su Ronghua, right? How can you be so vicious at such a young age?"
"Could it be that your mother carefully instructed you to intimidate others like this?"
Ruan Suhe could turn a blind eye if others said something about her, but if Ruoruo or the two children were threatened, she would immediately fly into a rage.
"Come on, Su Ronghua, tell me. Why is the school so terrible? Why are the teachers in the school so fierce? Also, why were you spanked in class?"
This was the first time Ruan Suhe met Su Ronghua, and she seemed like she was cast in the same mold as the young wife of the Su family.
"You are an elder... no, you are a village woman. When two children are talking, as an elder, you have to listen attentively. Don't you know?"
When she talked about Su Ronghua, the young wife of the Su family opened her mouth and started to defend her.
"Haha, you make it sound so easy. Your Ronghua is threatening my Ruoruo. What's going on?"
"Also, you, as a parent, is this how you guide your children?"
"You are so sarcastic. Who has offended you? What's wrong with eating meat every day at home? I enjoy it!"
Ruan Suhe only asked three questions in return, and the young wife of the Su family didn't know how to respond.
"Children, what they said is true. School is already very scary. Not only do they have to attend classes every day, but their teachers also ask them to memorize. If they can't memorize, they will be spanked. What's wrong with that?"
The young wife of the Su family didn't want to be speechless by her, so she retorted with all her might.
"Even if she can't memorize the book, she still punishes her students because she wants them to make progress. That's right, but what does it mean that she always tells Ruoruo not to go to school?"
"Our family can afford the tuition for both children. You, an outsider, don't have to worry about it."
"Finally, if you're craving meat, I suggest you buy fewer of your little skirts and save the money to eat meat. Isn't it delicious?"
"Young wife of the Su family, you can't have your cake and eat it too. You want a little skirt and you want to eat meat every day. I'm afraid you can only choose one of the two!"
A few short sentences made the young wife of the Su family start to sweat profusely.
"You, you, you are going too far!"
