Linglong attended classes for a few days as planned, and then it was time for Congcong to start school.
Although the company is quite busy, I feel a little embarrassed to ask for leave after just a few days at work.
When she went to see the section chief and explained that she needed to take half a day off because her child was going to school, the section chief was a little surprised.
"Linglong, your child is already in elementary school?"
The section chief knew that Linglong was married, but he had never heard her mention having children. He thought that even if she had children, they would still be young. How could he not be surprised when he heard that the children were only in elementary school?
"Yes, it's my child's first day of school, and as a mother, it's hard for me not to go. My husband is a soldier, so it's even harder for him to leave his post."
"Okay, okay, no problem. It's important for children to go to school. Is half a day off enough? Or a whole day?"
"No, no, half a day is enough."
"Okay then."
After asking for leave, Linglong didn't say anything in the office.
Or she didn't come on the first day. Everyone was confused and wondered if she was sick. When they asked the section chief whether they should pay attention to her, they found out that Linglong had taken leave because of her child.
Several seniors in the office had another in-depth discussion.
Linglong thought that her husband was busy, so she just went to take her son to school.
But my husband didn't go out in the morning.
"You're not going to work?" Linglong asked in confusion.
"Send Congcong to school first, and then I'll go to the army."
"Is that okay?"
"Okay, I told you yesterday."
Linglong was obviously much happier.
After dressing and packing Congcong, I told him the good news that Zheng Tiansen was going with him.
Congcong jumped up happily. "Yeah, mom and dad are there."
Seeing his son's happy expression, Zheng Tiansen felt that his day was worth it.
Zheng Tiansen was still in his military uniform, and Linglong was dressed more formally.
The couple packed some things needed for school and went out with Congcong.
Zheng Tiansen was driving, Linglong was still sitting in the passenger seat, and Congcong was sitting in the back fiddling with his little schoolbag.
Linglong bought him the schoolbag a few days ago, and he still loves it.
His aunt, grandmother, uncle, and grandfather also gave him gifts, all of which were stationery and notebooks that he could use for school.
The car stopped outside the school. Linglong and Zheng Tiansen got out of the car, one on each side, holding their son's hands.
Congcong's steps became much more cheerful.
At the school gate, there are still some parents sending their children to school.
Linglong and her family of three are too conspicuous, especially Zheng Tiansen.
Not only did many parents secretly look at him, but the children also stared at Zheng Tiansen intently.
When Congcong saw other children looking at his father, he held his head high and felt very proud.
It was the first day of school and there was more to do, so Linglong asked for leave.
After entering the school gate, she looked at her husband. "I'll take care of the rest. Go and do your work."
Zheng Tiansen didn't insist, but just bent down to look at Congcong.
"Son, Dad will leave first."
"Goodbye, Dad."
Zheng Tiansen rubbed his son's head and left with a smile.
Linglong took her son to go through a series of formalities. When she saw her son sitting in the classroom, she and other parents watched from the window for a while. Seeing that her son behaved well, she left.
Because she had taken half a day off, she didn't go to the company and simply went to the store to have a look.
When she went over, Xiao Jiang was there too.
"Sister, why are you here?" Today is not Sunday.
"Congcong starts school today, so I took half a day off and came to visit him when I had nothing to do."
"Hey, Congcong has started school."
"Yes, in the blink of an eye, the children are already in elementary school."
"Sister, you look just like Sister Congcong. I hope you didn't get misunderstood when you went to school."
Linglong laughed and scolded. "You're the only one who talks too much."
She didn't come here just to take a look.
All the ideas for how to decorate the store were proposed by her. She came here to check it out. If it didn't meet her expectations, she would talk to the craftsmen and make some changes.
She would stay here until the children were about to get out of school, then she would rush to the school to pick them up.
After picking up the person, they went to find a place to eat nearby.
This morning she came in her husband's car instead of riding a bicycle. If she went home to cook, she would be short on time. She also wanted her child to have a good nap at noon, so the two of them had lunch outside.
After dinner, they went home to rest.
After taking a nap for about half an hour at noon, Linglong felt very energetic.
Seeing that it was almost time, she woke up her son, washed his face, and rode her bike to take him to school.
Only after watching her son enter the school gate did she get on her bike and rush to work.
When she entered the office again, she was questioned by several senior colleagues.
"Linglong, how old is your child?"
"A boy or a girl?"
"Which school do you go to?"
"He's six years old, a boy, and he's in District No. 1 Primary School." She answered with a smile.
"I didn't expect your child to be this big already. It's quite early for you to have another child."
Linglong smiled again and did not explain that she adopted Congcong.
Because she didn't want her child to have negative thoughts about being adopted, she and her family tried their best to avoid mentioning these things.
Congcong was still young when she adopted him. He only remembered his own name at that time. Now, he always thought that he was Linglong and Zheng Tiansen's biological child.
In the evening, Zheng Tiansen returned home and asked about his son's first day of school.
Congcong has a cheerful personality and made several friends in class on the first day.
Because when he enrolled in school, his military father, Zheng Tiansen, showed up, and all the other students in his class went to make friends with him early on.
Now all the kids in his class know that his father is a PLA soldier, and they all envy him.
Zheng Tiansen couldn't help laughing when he heard his son talk about this with a proud look on his face.
But he was also very happy that his son was happy and liked because of his job.
The couple talked about this matter.
"I was thinking that because of my job, I couldn't always be with you, and I felt sorry for you two, but I didn't expect this child to not care at all." Which father would not be happy to see his son admiring him.
Linglong was also considerate and comforted him. "You've done a great job. As long as you do your job well, you're a role model for the children. Of course, it would be even better if you could spare a little more time to spend with us."
Didn't she want her husband to spend more time with her? Of course she did.
But she also knew the nature of her husband's work, and she could understand why she didn't care about it.
Because she knew that her husband had tried hard to find a balance between work and family, and had tried his best to give his children the most sense of security and companionship.
He has been trying his best to be a good husband and father.
When she chose to be with him, didn't she already know that he was a soldier?
Knowing that he had tried his best, she would not blame him.
A good marriage is also a relationship of mutual understanding.
