Wen's mother sighed: "It's okay for girls, they don't have to work so hard. Boys will have to work hard to support their families in the future. Besides, if he doesn't work hard, no one will be able to help him in the future. He has to rely on his own efforts. I'm planning to enroll him in more extracurricular classes later."
Mother Mu: "Girls also need to work hard. If you're lucky, you can rely on a man; if you're unlucky, you can't. In the end, it's best to rely on yourself. I just hope she can grow up happily, support herself, and not depend on others."
Wen's mother: "You're right."
Mu's Mom: "Let me know when you go to register, I'll register Xiaoxi too. By the way, Xiaoyin is going to kindergarten soon, right? I'm looking for a kindergarten recently, so we can go together."
Wen's Mom: "Sure, but we still need to ask Xixi if she'd like to attend extracurricular classes."
Wen's mother pinched Mu Wenxi's little cheek: "Does Xixi want to?"
Mu Wenxi turned to look at Wen Nanyin, pointed at him with his little finger and nodded: "Together with my younger brother."
Mother: "Xiao Xi already knows how to call her little brother, that's so smart. From now on, you two are good friends, you know? Good friends should care for and look after each other, and not fight."
Mu Wenxi said sweetly, "I know."
Wen Nanyin nodded as she ate with a spoon, saying, "Take care of my sister."
Mother Shepherd: "The two little ones are so cute."
When the two returned home that evening, Mu's father had just come home from get off work. Seeing the mother and daughter, his exhaustion vanished instantly, and Mu's mother enthusiastically shared with him the story of her reunion with a long-time friend.
"Xiao Xi is also particularly fond of her son, whose name is Wen Nanyin..."
A few days later, Wen's mother called, saying she had already chosen several extracurricular classes and asked Mu's mother to take Mu Wenxi to see her.
Mu Wenxi was dressed up very cutely by her mother, with butterfly hair clips and braids. Mu Wenxi shook her head, feeling a little uncomfortable.
Mother Shepherd: "Don't shake me, don't shake me, I'm so cute."
Mu Wenxi obediently let his mother do as she pleased, utterly despondent.
After the two families met, Mu Wenxi greeted Wen's mother first, and then greeted Wen Nanyin: "Hello, little brother."
Wen Nanyin, her face flushed, walked hand in hand with Mu Wenxi.
Wen's mother: "I enrolled my child in choir, Latin dance, piano, and calligraphy."
Mother: "So many extracurricular classes! Won't it be too tiring? Which one do you want to attend, Xiaoxi?"
Wen's mother: "No pain, no gain. The child is so young and can't make up his mind. You have to make decisions for him."
Mu Wenxi raised her little head and looked at her mother: "Piano, calligraphy, and my little brother together."
The shepherd girl gently pinched her little nose: "Do you know what a piano is and what calligraphy is?"
Mu Wenxi: "I know!"
Mother: "Okay, then Mom will register you first. You can't give up halfway, understand?"
Mu Wenxi nodded.
After Mu's mother and Wen's mother enrolled their child in extracurricular classes, they started discussing kindergarten. The two children sat together in the children's palace's book corner. Mu Wenxi rested her chin on her hand and looked at Wen Nanyin, while little Nanyin was focused on reading a book.
Mother: "This kindergarten has good teachers and is close to our home."
Wen's mother: "Okay, then this kindergarten will do."
When Mu's mother showed the picture to Mu Wenxi, Mu Wenxi turned her head away in strong resistance: "Mom, I don't want to go to kindergarten."
Mother: "No, all children go to kindergarten, how can you not go to kindergarten?"
Mu Wenxi pouted: "I'm not going. Kindergarten isn't fun."
Helpless, the mother could only bring up Xiao Nanyin: "Don't you want to play with your younger brother?"
Mu Wenxi then remembered that she had been so focused on avoiding the kindergarten that she had almost forgotten that Nan Yin was going with her. She pretended to ponder for a moment before agreeing, "Okay, I'll go then."
Watching this scene, Wen's mother laughed out loud: "It seems that Xixi really likes her little brother."
Mother: "This little one only knows how to play. She knows that she should learn things at kindergarten, so she refuses to go."
On September 1st, kindergarten started, and Mu's mother took Nan Yin and Xi Xi to kindergarten together.
When Wen's mother mentioned that she wanted to settle down here, Mu's mother immediately helped her find an affordable house that was very close to their home. Wen's mother initially felt very embarrassed, but after Mu's mother's persuasion, she agreed.
"If it weren't for your help back then, I don't know what would have become of me. So don't be so polite with me, you can always repay me in the future."
Wen's mother stopped refusing, and the relationship between the two returned to what it was like many years ago when neither of them had children. In addition, since the Wen family's conditions were indeed not as good as the Mu family's, Mu's mother also had a desire to help them out.
Wen's father works away from home, and Wen's mother found a part-time job, spending most of her time with the children.
Wen's mother: "It's better to suffer now than to suffer later."
The shepherd's mother agreed.
While other children were saying goodbye to their parents with reluctance or even crying loudly at the kindergarten gate, Mu Wenxi and Wen Nanyin said goodbye to their mothers quietly and without making a fuss.
Watching Mu Wenxi walk away, Mu's mother thought, "He's all grown up and is going to kindergarten now."
Wen's mother: "Yes, time flies so fast. We've gone from being teenagers to almost thirty now."
Mu Wenxi sat in the small classroom, with her younger brother Wen Nanyin sitting next to her. She was a little bored, not listening to the teacher's lectures or doing the homework assigned by the teacher. Her only activity was watching Wen Nanyin. She would do whatever Wen Nanyin did, or just stare at Wen Nanyin in a daze.
Wen Nanyin obediently let her look at him.
The teacher was a little helpless. She had never seen such a little girl before. She seemed so well-behaved and obedient, but she never expected her rebellious genes to be so strong: "How about we learn to draw toy cars in this lesson?"
Other babies: "Okay!"
Wen Nanyin: "Okay!"
Mu Wenxi replied in a low voice, "Okay," and then lazily lay down on the table, not drawing anymore, but she was watching Wen Nanyin's drawing very carefully.
Seeing that Mu Wenxi hadn't made a move, the teacher walked over to her and said, "Wenxi, all the other children have drawn, but you haven't. Can you tell me why?"
Wen Nanyin also looked up at Mu Wenxi, seemingly curious about why she wasn't drawing. Mu Wenxi, seeing Nanyin's curious gaze, suddenly perked up: "Teacher, I don't want to draw."
Teacher: "Why?"
Mu Wenxi tilted his head: "Simple."
The teacher almost laughed out of exasperation, but had to patiently ask, "How do you know if it's simple or not if you don't draw it?"
The teacher looked at the other children's crooked drawings, then at Mu Wenxi's blank paper, and then at Wen Nanyin's neat and tidy drawing: "Look, Nanyin's drawing is very good. Don't you want to compete with him?"
Mu Wenxi: "I don't want to."
At this moment, Wen Nanyin suddenly reached out and pulled Mu Wenxi: "I want to see you draw."
Mu Wenxi agreed with a touch of arrogance: "Okay, then I'll use your pen."
