"What are you afraid of? If you don't suffer a little, you'll really think everything is a treasure, and that adults like to deceive them."
Yang Yufen couldn't help but laugh.
"Ugh! It's so sour!"
"Ugh, this tastes awful!"
The children bared their teeth and immediately became quiet.
"Go play with the bamboo ball."
Yang Yufen took out the bamboo ball, and a group of children started kicking it noisily.
"You're the one who has to soothe the child!"
"Kids won't be a nuisance if they have something to do."
Yang Yufen smiled. Actually, everyone was familiar with the children when they went to the orphanage. There were teachers who played with the children. It was only this one day a week that was a bit tiring.
Yang Yufen was also a rough woman when it came to raising children; she let them run around freely and didn't have to leave the family compound. She wasn't afraid at all.
Before Qin Nian left, Wang Aimin's family also moved out. Wang Aimin had made a mistake at work, which was already a serious error. For some reason, Wang's mother actually asked someone to write a letter of complaint against Qin Nian and Dean Hu.
When the higher-ups investigated, they quickly found out that Wang's mother had undermined internal unity, and Wang Aimin left the research institute completely.
Despite the time difference of more than ten hours, on the other side of the sea, Qin Nian did not expect to fall ill as soon as she arrived.
It wasn't just her who was sick; everyone who came with her was sick. Getting medical treatment here was much more difficult than she had imagined.
Racial discrimination, food that doesn't suit one's taste.
"It would be great if you brought some soil from your home."
An elderly man who had been living here for a year spoke up.
Qin Nian suddenly remembered the things her mother-in-law had packed for her, and then she rummaged through them and found them.
"I brought it."
"Great! Although this method is unreliable, it's practical. I'll go boil some water, and we can all have a little later."
Whether it was a placebo effect or not, everyone actually felt much better after drinking the water.
Qin Nian looked at the remaining bit of soil and carefully wrapped it up.
Studying here is arduous. The teachers here won't explain things to them in the same detail as their own teachers, nor will they slow down their speech just because they aren't locals.
There were no preferential treatments or advantages. Even someone as smart as Qin Nian had to stay up late studying after class and spend her days in the library when she didn't have class. She and her fellow students supported each other, forming a reading group to help and encourage one another.
Early in the morning, Yang Yufen took her two children straight to the research institute's telephone counter, where Professor Wen and Dean Hu were also present.
"Based on the time difference, it should be around this time, but don't rush, there's a queue to make a call over there."
Dean Hu offered words of comfort.
"Ring ring~"
The phone rang, and everyone's eyes were drawn to it. Only when the phone rang again did Dean Hu pick it up.
"Hello?"
"Teacher, it's me, Niannian."
Qin Nian's voice came from the other end of the phone.
After a long day of classes, Qin Nian rushed to the embassy. Despite being given a hard time all day, she was in a good mood just thinking about being able to talk to her family on the phone tonight.
"Mother!"
"Mother!"
Da Bao and Er Bao both shouted.
The phone call was a little distorted, but the child still recognized it and shouted with delight.
"Da Bao, Er Bao!"
Qin Nian almost burst into tears, so she quickly covered her mouth and took a deep breath.
