Xunqing Porcelain Factory is responsible for producing gift boxes for Jincheng, as well as for products ordered specifically from Xunqing. The factory now has more than 100 employees and its machines have been upgraded and refurbished.
However, Xunqing Studio is responsible for cooperation negotiations and some DIY experience tutorials.
The daily foot traffic isn't high, so Li Xunli can handle it all by herself.
In addition, communication became very convenient after using WeChat, so on the day of school registration, Li Xunli told several customer groups that Xunqing Studio would be taking a day off, and then happily drove her three kids to school.
When they arrived at the school gate of the experimental school, they saw Li Chun-chun and her daughter who were already waiting for them at the school gate.
"Sister Qingqing! Yangyang! Xiaohong! Over here!" Li Chunchun, sporting a bob haircut, waved excitedly at them.
Once they met up, the three sisters huddled together intimately, with Shen Hong being led by the hand by Li Xunli as they walked side by side with her aunt.
"This side of the school gate is closer to the affiliated primary school. We'll go to register Xiao Hong for kindergarten first, then Qing Qing, and finally come back to the affiliated primary school before coming out again."
“Okay, I’ll do as you say, sister-in-law.” Li Xunli had only been to the school once before, when she accompanied Shen Qingqing to the exam, but she hadn’t been inside the school and didn’t know the layout of the experimental school at all. Since her sister-in-law, who was a teacher, knew about it, she naturally chose to go with her.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to register her four children, Li Xunli finally completed a semi-complete journey through the three sections of the experimental school: the kindergarten, the primary school, and the junior high school.
Shen Qingqing also understood how to get there if she wanted to pick up Shen Yangyang and Shen Hong.
After she finished walking, she told Shen Yangyang and Shen Hong that they should wait for her in the classroom after school and not run out on their own.
Hearing Shen Qingqing say this to her younger siblings, Li Xunli was momentarily stunned, but then immediately showed a relieved smile.
However, on the first day the three siblings were to go to school, Shen Rongzhou and Li Xunli had a small disagreement about who should take them.
Li Xunli: "Your commute to work is so far. If you drop them off at school and then go to the company, you won't have enough time!"
Shen Rongzhou: "But this is the first day of school for the three children. Qingqing is in junior high school, Yangyang is in elementary school, and I couldn't take Xiaohong to kindergarten last year. I have to take her this year, right?"
Li Xunli: "You're a manager now, and you're still late because of personal family matters. What will your subordinates think of you? Besides, it's not like I can't take them there!"
Shen Rongzhou: "It feels different when Dad gives you a ride versus Mom gives you a ride. Besides, this is a sedan, so it's more comfortable to sit in, isn't it?"
Li Xunli: "No need, no need. There's no rain or water right now, you can take a motorcycle! You should hurry up and go to work!"
Unable to argue with Li Xunli, Shen Rongzhou turned to look at the three children who were still eating breakfast in the restaurant, cleared his throat, and walked over to ask, "Dabao, Yangyang, Xiaohong, do you want Daddy to take you to school today?"
Shen Qingqing had already overheard the couple's conversation in the living room. After finishing her soy milk in one gulp, she asked, "Dad, your work hours are fixed, and you can't be late, but you can come after get off work. Besides, I ate a lot this morning, and it would be bad if I threw up on the way. Wouldn't it be better if Mom took me in the morning and Dad picked me up in the evening?"
Shen Rongzhou was stunned for a few seconds, then laughed. "It's because Dad is getting old and always thinks in the same narrow way. My eldest son is so smart! Okay, Mom will take you to school this morning, and Dad will pick you up tonight!"
"Okay, bye-bye, Dad!" the three siblings said in unison, waving goodbye.
Li Xunli happily sent her three children to school, kissed each of them at the school gate, watched Shen Qingqing and Shen Yangyang walk to their respective departments, and saw Shen Hong being picked up by the teacher before starting her motorcycle and heading to her studio.
As I drove, I kept thinking about the problem Shen Rongzhou had mentioned this morning. It was indeed convenient to send the children to school now that it was raining or dry, but wouldn't Shen Rongzhou be late again if it rained in the future?
Should she also find time to apply for a driver's license and then buy a car to pick up and drop off the children?
There were no appointments at the studio in the morning, and Li Xunli happened to be there to go to Jincheng to reconcile the company accounts. She told Li Xunjin about it while she was reconciling the accounts.
Li Xunjin laughed when he heard this: "You and your sister-in-law really think alike. She was also talking to me last night about whether we should learn to drive so that it would be easier to take the four kids home in the future."
"After all, she is a teacher. Although she teaches the third year of junior high school, she is always at school with the students, so it is very convenient for her to pick them up and drop them off."
“That’s perfect! My sister-in-law and I will go to take our driving tests together, and then we can buy a car for commuting. Whoever picks us up can drive.” Li Xunli thought it was a great idea.
Li Xunjin thought it was a good idea and nodded in agreement: "Okay, I'll register you two sometime."
Shen Qingqing didn't know what decision her mother had made, but she was shocked by the classmate sitting next to her.
Wu Fangyi, who hadn't seen Shen Qingqing since their last meeting during summer vacation, had cut her long hair and waved to Shen Qingqing with a very capable air: "Hello, would you mind if I were your deskmate?"
Shen Qingqing was still in shock when she shook her head: "I don't mind, but why..."
Wu Fangyi gently tugged at the corner of her mouth, "My cousin is starting elementary school this year and needs to live in his own room. The Experimental Middle School has dormitories, so I came here."
