In the evening, Tingting made hot pot, which is a favorite food of the children.
"Today is a day of five happy events for our family. This is a great occasion, as all of you will be leaving your parents to go to school."
“You are all my children. This family is indispensable if any of you are missing. Today is a good day, let’s all raise a glass to celebrate.”
Several children clinked glasses with Tingting and Jianjun, each holding a juice bottle.
"Hurry up and eat. It's such a good day, so eat more. We're expecting a lot of people coming to our house tomorrow."
"It'll be quite troublesome then, so let's have a good meal together as a family today."
"Tomorrow we'll go to this county and take some family photos. This is a picture of our whole family."
Cheng Cai and You Cai were both very happy to hear that they were taking a family photo. The word "family" itself sounds so blissful.
"I have to say, the highest score in our family is Chengcai with 408 points, the second is Zhuzi with 405 points, the third is Youcai with 403 points, Tiedan with 401 points, and Shitou with 397 points."
"Your grades are all very good, but don't be arrogant. There are many outstanding people in the school, and you should learn from them."
“You should think about how long you have been studying, while they have only been reviewing for one to two months. You should be humble.”
"Yes, Mother! Yes, Aunt!" the children answered in unison.
"You guys were always home, and I even thought you were noisy. Now that you're gone, it's suddenly so quiet, and I feel a little sad."
"Auntie, Qiuqiu and Zhuzi are still here with you and Uncle. We'll come back after we finish school."
“Study hard, and come back after you finish your studies to contribute to our hometown. Uncle Guo is also a good person. We should thank him properly when we have the chance.”
The children nodded. They all had a deep affection for this village and their hometown; it was the land where they grew up.
"The quilts and clothes I made recently can be taken with you, along with a lot of other household items."
"Mom, thank you for your hard work, Dad. We've been very naughty all these years, and now we're going to school."
"Ah, time really flies. You all have to grow up eventually."
"But no matter what, you are still my and your father's children. If you have any questions in the future, ask your older brother Chengcai first."
"If you still have any questions, write to your father and me. If you tell the truth, your father and I might even come to visit you."
The children nodded, both happy and a little sad.
"Mom, my brothers have gone to school. Is it just me and Qiuqiu at home now?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
"Nothing much, I was just seeing my brother, I don't know how long it was."
"Then you should study hard and get good grades, so you can see each other more often."
"Yes, Mom, Qiuqiu and I will study hard."
“I have prepared everything for you. You children will be leaving in March. Your father and I will see you off, otherwise we will be really worried.”
"Won't this be too much of a hassle, Mom? All five of us can go."
“This is your first time traveling so far, and your father and I are very worried about you. We'd like to go with you.”
Cheng Cai thought that this was what parents were like. No matter how old their children were, they still treated them like children. But he felt that this feeling was also very happy.
