Xu Manman picked up a piece of stir-fried cabbage and handed it to him with chopsticks, "Chenchen, you have to eat vegetables too."
Although little Chen Xiaochen loves pork elbows, he is not picky about food. Even if he doesn’t like the food very much, he will finish it obediently.
After dinner, Jin Zichu washed the dishes while Professor Xu helped the elementary school students with their homework.
The homework assigned by school now is not that demanding, and in the first grade of primary school, there are only Chinese and mathematics. All the homework can be finished in less than half an hour.
The children don’t roll, but the parents do.
Both of Chen Xiaochen's parents are college graduates, and his father has studied abroad. Since he was born, Chen Ming has been teaching him English, and his aunt also teaches him some German or French during the summer vacation.
It's not just Chen Xiaochen. The three generations of children in the Xu family are basically in this situation.
Every time this happens, Xu Manman can't help but sigh that some children really win at the starting line from the moment they are born, and it is really difficult to achieve equal distribution of educational resources.
Just like in her previous life, she was born in the 1990s. At that time, the country had already started reform and opening up, and compulsory education was fully popularized by the time she went to school.
But as a child from the rural area, her parents' education level was only high school, and coupled with the trend of going south to work at that time, she became a left-behind child from kindergarten. Therefore, the educational resources her parents could provide were equivalent to nothing, and she basically relied on school education.
In rural primary schools, apart from the main subjects such as Chinese and mathematics, other subjects are meaningless, and there is no possibility of interest classes.
Even English was not taught until junior high school, but at that time it was generally not taken seriously. The teachers did not teach it in a standard way and the students learned it in a mess.
When she was in the first year of high school, there was a college student in the village who started a tutoring class at home. Xu Manman’s grandmother spent several hundred yuan to send her to the class. The professional and systematic teaching helped her finally step into the threshold of English and avoid being caught off guard.
This summer tutoring class also allowed her to gradually narrow the gap with the top students in her class in her subsequent high school career.
However, she only attended an ordinary high school in a township. After trying her best, she was finally admitted to a bachelor's degree. After she started working, she realized that such college students are worthless and no matter how hard they work, they will just be like slaves.
"aunt?"
Chenchen's voice interrupted Xu Manman's trance.
Xu Manman reached out and rubbed his face again, then continued to read the storybook to him.
The child has his own biological clock. Just after nine o'clock, he fell asleep in his quilt.
Jin Zichu, who was originally sleeping on the other side of Chenchen, lifted the quilt and came to his wife, rubbing Xu Manman's hair, "Manman, my wife." His voice sounded a little aggrieved.
Xu Manman held his hand and whispered, "Be good and go to bed early. You have to send the kids to school tomorrow." She couldn't get up by herself, so Xiao Jin had to do this important task.
Moreover, today's situation also made her secretly relieved. At least... she didn't have to work hard.
Chenchen, who couldn't understand his uncle's depression, was particularly happy these days.
We can eat a lot of delicious food every day. My uncle’s cooking is much better than my parents’, and there are at least six dishes in every meal. At his house, we can only have four dishes and one soup on weekends.
His uncle can always play with him, unlike his parents who are busy with their own things when they get home and have no time to play with toys with him.
The weekend was finally approaching, and Jin Zichuben thought he could send the kid away and start a happy life, but unexpectedly Xu Jianjun sent his son Xu Ruize over.
"This little bastard keeps clamoring to come over here every day, and it's so annoying at home. Manman, Zichu, let him stay with you for the next two days, and then just send him directly to school on Monday."
Jin Zichu could still put on a cold face in front of Chen Ming, but he could only force a smile in front of his second uncle.
So, on weekends, when they returned to the big yard, the couple would take care of the two kids. Although my mother-in-law had recovered and could help take care of the kids during the day, at night, four of us still had to sleep on the big kang. And I don't know if the little boy Ze Ze took after his dad, but he was very alert when he slept, so even if he wanted to sneak over to hug his wife, he couldn't.
A few days later, they finally sent the two little guys away. Jin Zichu wanted to set off fireworks to celebrate. Before they left, he said, "Uncle, wait for me. I'll go home to see my parents and then come back to be with you soon."
Jin Zichu said that it was not necessary, not at all necessary.
Xu Manman was covering her mouth and laughing secretly. It was rare to see Xiao Jin like this.
But when Xiao Jin put her on the big bed in the space at night, she could hardly laugh anymore.
