After Maodaner left, it took the twins several days to recover.
You have to slow down.
——Because school resumed classes, they were sent to school by Lin Zhao.
Originally, because Yubao and Hengbao were less than six years old, the school thought they were too young and was reluctant to accept them. However, due to the small number of students in the school and the fact that the twins were not troublemakers, the school made an exception and accepted them.
Thus, the twins began their learning career.
On the first day of school, Lin Zhao sent her two sons to the school gate.
In fact, there were a few bangbang troupes in the old house, so there was no need for adults to pick them up. However, since they had just started school, Lin Zhao felt that she could not miss it, so she took her camera and came over.
Qianbao and Yaobao insisted on following. Their two chubby hands held on to the door, and their big eyes with clear black and white opened wide, looking at their mother with grievance and pitifulness.
Lin Zhao had no way of refusing, so she took it with her.
The two white and tender little balls showed their tiny teeth with joy.
The walking posture is clumsy but also light.
The little brother and sister don’t like to run around. They are both fair and tender, with rosy and chubby faces. Wearing brother and sister outfits made by their mother, they look like little boys under the seat of Guanyin. When they look up at people, who wouldn’t want to rub their little faces?
"Run slower, be careful not to fall." Lin Zhao shouted to the twins.
His brother went to school, and the two little ones were so excited for no reason.
Qianbao slowed down and stood there waiting for his mother. Seeing Yaobao was still running, he hurried to catch up with his sister.
Lin Zhao: “…”
Not a single one was stopped.
See, she doesn't like taking the two little ones out, and there's nothing wrong with that.
It's okay if there's someone to help look after the child, but it's very troublesome to take care of the child alone. The more agile the child walks, the crazier he becomes.
Fortunately, we have capable twins.
The two of them caught up with them, Yubao holding Yaobao, Hengbao holding Qianbao, and they slowed down and walked forward.
"...When you're out and about, don't run too fast. What if someone takes you away?" Yubao's face was filled with seriousness as he looked at Yaobao and said, "Yaobao, Hengbao and I are going to school. You have to listen to your mother."
Hengbao also said, "That's right. I didn't listen to Mom, and now I'm suffering. I broke my skin and it hurts so much. I can't even walk and have to lie down the whole time."
"I won't run." Qianbao's eyes were serious, his voice was childish, but also revealed the flavor of a little adult.
Yubao smiled and praised his brother: "Qianbao is the best."
Qianbao gave a very sweet and soft smile.
"I won't run away either!" Yaobao raised her head, blinked her purple grape-like eyes, and tried her best to act cute.
Yubao took the opportunity to teach his sister a lesson, "You ran away. Just now, Mom called you, but you ignored her. You're a little rude."
Yaobao's long eyelashes drooped, "...I didn't hear it."
With adequate nutrition, the twins are speaking more and more fluently, and are showing signs of getting closer to the second cub, and are very good at making excuses.
Heng Bao laughed and exposed his sister: "Did you not hear... or did you do it on purpose?!"
Yaobao was furious and pushed her brother away, loudly denying, "I didn't hear it, I just didn't hear it."
"Gu Zhiyao," Lin Zhao's voice rang out, her tone gentle yet serious, "You can't push your brother."
Yaobao quickly withdrew her hand, stood obediently, and didn't want to look at her brother. She just stood there waiting for her mother.
Lin Zhao walked over and ruffled her daughter's braids. "...her temper is even worse than mine."
"Brothers, we're doing this for your own good. Why are you being so aggressive?"
Yaobao was not happy to be criticized, and pouted, "I'm not fierce, not fierce."
She emphasized it twice.
"You just pushed your brother." Lin Zhao reminded.
Yaobao felt wronged and wanted to cry when her mother didn't hold her. But she knew that acting like a spoiled child was useless. She looked at Hengbao and apologized in a baby voice, "I'm sorry..."
She learned from Hengbao that you should apologize when you do something wrong.
She knows everything and just relies on her cuteness to "trouble" her brother.
All are spoiled.
My sister apologized to me! How could Hengbao hold it against her? Of course not.
"Okay, I forgive you. You have to listen to mom. If you don't, my brother and I will teach you a lesson."
Yaobao hugged her big brother, rubbed her chubby face against Yubao's arm, and her eyes were wet, like a wounded kitten.
"Yaobao knows he was wrong and will change for the better. Don't say anything more. Your sister is still young. We will teach her slowly." Yubao put his arm around his sister's shoulders, like an elephant protecting its cub.
Hengbao's eyes widened in shock, "Brother, it was you who said you would teach your younger siblings well."
His eyes accused, "You also said that if Qianbao and Hengbao turned out to be bad kids, Mom and Dad would be very worried. We teach our younger siblings well to lighten their burden, isn't that what you said?"
Yu Bao was speechless.
"I did say that, but... Yaobao has admitted her mistake, what else do you want?" Erzai is so hard-hearted. Why is he so harsh to his sister?
Hengbao was speechless. "I didn't plan to do anything."
It's so serious!
Lin Zhao did not interfere in the children's affairs and followed them silently.
As they were talking, they arrived at the school gate.
This is the only school in the entire commune. The county put all its efforts into building it. It is a small brick-concrete building.
The classrooms are arranged neatly, with few small windows and average lighting. On cloudy days, classes have to be held by lighting kerosene lamps or candles.
There is a blackboard in front of each classroom, with a slogan "Study hard and make progress every day" hanging above it, and a bulletin board behind it.
The tables and chairs were purchased in bulk and painted dark red. Because they are very old, there are obvious signs of use on them.
Before this, when Lin Zhao had registered her son for school and was picking up his textbooks, she saw a desk with her mark on it in a classroom, as well as several familiar names.
Yu Baohengbao came to the school when he was registering. He was still curious when he came again. His eyes were shining, as if he wanted to join the Young Pioneers.
"Do you dare to go in by yourself? Do you want me to take you to the classroom door?" Lin Zhao asked.
The moment she said this, she felt complicated. In the blink of an eye, the two older ones had gone to school. Old people always say that children grow up when they are exposed to the wind, and she suddenly felt the same way.
Yubao remained calm, saying, "Hengbao and I know the way. We can go by ourselves."
Just as he finished speaking, Bangbang and others came out of the school.
"Yubao, Hengbao, you are finally here! Come on, I will take you to the classroom. I have been waiting for you for a long time." Laimei said loudly.
When he saw his cousin, Hengbao ran over excitedly.
"You guys are here really early. When did you arrive?"
Bangbang replied, "I don't have a watch, so I'm not sure what time we arrived. Did we walk around the school two or three times?" He looked at Laimei and others, asking.
Gu Lan said, "Three laps."
"That's three circles." Bangbang's face was full of smiles.
I get bored going to school every day because I have to get up early and don’t have enough time to play.
After the school was closed, they stayed at home for too long. Their parents hated them and they were disliked by them ten times a day. They began to miss going to school.
Look, on the first day of school, Bang Bang got up before dawn and ran to school early.
Lin Zhao was surprised, "Why are you here so early?"
"Bang bang, they have to come early." Gu Lan said.
She smiled uncomfortably. "They said...they've been nagged at home so much that their ears are almost callused. They'd rather squat at the school gate and wait for it to open."
Gu Lan is the only girl in the Gu family who goes to school. The adults are worried and let her go to and from school with the boy in the family. Lai Mei pesters her and she has no choice but to agree.
"Have you eaten?" Lin Zhao asked.
Tiedan was talking to the twins about school when he heard Auntie San's words and looked over. "Oh, no! My mom said it's okay to skip breakfast and save it for lunch."
Lin Zhao: “…” Can I still save this?!
"How can you grow taller if you don't eat breakfast!"
Tiedan nodded vigorously.
Yes, yes, if you don’t eat enough you will become short and fat and won’t be able to get married.
He told his mother that he was beaten.
"I'll talk to your mother when I get back." Lin Zhao looked at Tiedan's aggrieved look and felt that this kid was very pitiful.
I haven't seen you for a few days and you've lost some weight.
Gu Chan had to take care of Wei Xiangdong and had no time to paste matchboxes anymore, so she asked if she could transfer it to Huang Xiulan and Zhao Liuniang. She agreed and told them when she got back.
Tiedan blurted out, "Aunt San, you are truly a savior!"
Just as the words left his mouth, Gu Lan covered his mouth, "You little bastard, you have no control over your words, are you trying to kill my family?!"
She looked around carefully, and when she saw that no one heard her, she put her heart back where it was.
Tiedan's face turned pale when he thought of his parents' repeated warnings.
"I... I forgot." He said guiltily, feeling terrified.
Lin Zhao gave him a chocolate and comforted him softly, "It's okay to make mistakes. Just don't make them again next time."
"Here, chocolate. Eat it when you're hungry. You can't go to school on an empty stomach this early."
She also came from the student days, and studying is hard work. She can't concentrate on reading on an empty stomach because she can only think about what to eat.
"I have to eat it in the morning, even if it's just half a sweet potato."
"Thank you, Third Auntie." Tiedan took the chocolate and carefully kept it. He grumbled, "Eating too many sweet potatoes will make you fart."
Lai Mei was also a bit of a snob. She immediately said, "Last semester, Tiedan farted in class and was laughed at by the teacher and classmates."
Lin Zhao: “Puff…”
Before she could comfort the bruised little boy, Tiedan, with a red face, said, "I wasn't the only one who farted in class. Many people farted, and Chen Erniu even pooped in his pants."
Lin Zhao: Classmate Chen Erniu's crime is not serious enough, yet he is being dragged out to criticize him.
She waved the camera in her hand.
"Today is Yubao and Hengbao's first day of school. I'll take a picture of you as a souvenir."
Bangbang and the others were very happy and started to tidy up their clothes.
Gu Lan asked his brother, "Tiedan, can you help me check my hair? Is it messy? Do I need to tie it again?"
Tiedan took a quick look and said, "It's fine. Not messy, very neat. It will definitely look great in the photos."
"Go to hell." Gu Lan spat at him.
Tiedan's innocent face.
His father was right, lesbians are difficult to please, and whatever you say is wrong!
The children are standing at the school gate, with the plaque of a certain school on their right.
Lin Zhao instructed them on how to pose. "Look at me. Look natural. It's okay to smile or not. Don't be forced. Ah Lan, bend your legs slightly, like me."
Seeing Tiedan holding up the chocolate with a bright smile, she said with a smile, "Tiedan's movements are very natural, and his smile is beautiful, not bad. Everyone else... just be more relaxed. It's not your first time filming, why are you so nervous?"
Lai Mei put her hands on her hips and smiled, revealing her big white teeth. "It's still different. This is at the school gate."
It's impossible not to be nervous when someone is watching.
Lin Zhao kept moving her hands, snapping photos, and said, "I didn't see you were nervous."
"My uncle said I'm a bit nervous and don't take anything to heart." Lai Mei thought it was just a compliment and felt proud. "I was just a little nervous."
The twins rushed over, squeezed between their brother, tilted their heads and looked at Lin Zhao... holding cameras in their hands, smiling, their movements and expressions were very natural.
"What are you two doing? You're not in school." Lin Zhao was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"I want to go to school." Qian Bao's fair and tender face was serious. He stretched out his short, soft hand and pointed to the school. "I want to go to school inside."
Lin Zhao laughed.
This child...
Do you know what going to school means? You have to go to school.
"You are too young. They won't accept you. You can only come to school when you reach your brother's age." She told Qianbao patiently.
Hearing this, Qianbao lowered his head slightly, his little cheeks trembling slightly, his peach-like lips tightly pursed together, and the smart hair on his head drooped down.
So cute.
Lin Zhao screamed in her heart.
I can’t wait to satisfy my baby.
But I can't, he's too young.
Yubao couldn't bear to see his brother disappointed, so he bent down, hugged Qianbao's head and whispered to him.
When he finished speaking, Qianbao's eyes sparkled.
"Really?"
Yu Bao put his index finger to his lips and said, "Shh, keep it a secret for now. Brother will find a way. If it doesn't work... I will be your little teacher. I will teach you what we are taught in school when I go back, okay?"
“Okay~!”
Lin Zhao was far away, and as there were more children coming to school, it was a bit noisy, so she couldn't hear what Yu Bao and his brother were whispering about.
“Ding-ling-ling!!”
The bell rang.
The children didn't dare to delay any longer and rushed to the school.
The bangbang girls grabbed Yubao and Hengbao's hands and ran towards the campus.
"Brother?" Yaobao pointed to the place where his brothers disappeared, with confusion in his eyes, and pulled Lin Zhao in to find his brother.
"Your brother is going to school, so we'll bring them lunch at noon. Go back to work with mom first, okay?" Lin Zhao coaxed Zizi softly.
Qian Bao agreed obediently, "Okay."
Yaobao glanced at him and nodded, "Yes, bring some food and meat to my brother."
She was young, but she knew that her brothers liked to eat meat.
Lin Zhao walked back with the twins, "Okay, okay, give Rourou a try."
No matter how much we quarrel, I still love my brother in my heart. This is the normal relationship between siblings.
The school is close to the city but far from the brigades. Children have to go out early to go to school. Some have to walk more than ten kilometers. In places farther away, there is no one to take the children to school.
The adults in the family have to earn money and cannot pick up and drop off the children. The children have to go to and from school by themselves, and the adults are worried about them, so they simply don't let them go.
The Fengshou Brigade is not very close to the school, and it takes more than 40 minutes to get there.
In order to let Yu Bao and Heng Bao sleep a little longer in the morning, Lin Zhao moved the children to the city so that it would be convenient for them to go to school. If they didn't want to cook... they could just eat at a state-owned restaurant, saving time and effort.
…
The other side.
Meng Jiusi and others came to the military area.
Chief Ning is indeed reliable. His work relationship has been transferred and he can start work after settling in.
The military district also allocated them a yard. The yard was not new and not very large, but it had three rooms, which was enough.
The toilets are shared.
There is a big cafeteria for dining, and there are schools and supply and marketing cooperatives around it. It is also close to the workplace, so it is very convenient.
The Meng family was very satisfied.
These conditions were much better than they had imagined.
The house had just been cleaned and was very clean. Meng Jiusi took his son to pack up the luggage, bought some old furniture, and added some necessities before they could rest.
Then write letters to your family.
Jing Mo Guang Bai wrote for the twins.
The older one knows a lot of characters and can write smoothly, but the younger one doesn’t know a lot of characters and has to use pinyin to replace many of them, which is a real pain to write.
Ning family.
Maodaner had written a letter long ago, asking his grandmother for money and stamps. In order to make a camera for the father and son, Old Lady Ning asked him to ask his father for it, which put Maodaner in a difficult position.
The little boy was struggling and repeatedly prepared himself mentally before finally finding Ning Mingde.
Chief Ning's trip back to his hometown delayed a lot of work. He was extremely busy when he came back. He didn't get close to his son for more than ten hours. He thought that all his previous efforts were in vain and was filled with melancholy.
At this moment, seeing Maodan coming to find him, he looked happy.
"Cat Egg?"
Commander Ning stood up and walked towards Maodan'er, opening a can of yellow peaches for him. "Your grandma said you like canned food. I just bought some. Try it and see if you like it."
Maodan didn't want to stay any longer. He met his father's shining eyes, moved his mouth, didn't say anything to spoil the mood, and sat down to eat the canned food obediently.
When a father looks at his son, he feels that his son is good in every way.
“…”
Maodaner finished his can of food, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke: "...I want to send a letter to Yubao and Hengbao. Do you have stamps?"
Chief Ning slapped his forehead and said, "It was my oversight. I forgot to give it to you."
Maodan was puzzled.
Um?
Commander Ning walked to the cabinet, took out a small green shoulder bag, and gave it to his son.
"The shoulder bag is the school bag I prepared for you, just like the twins'. I put some money in it as a supplement to your lucky money and some money for your birthday present. You can spend it as you wish."
He knew his son envied the twins' bags, so he got them right after returning and wanted to give them to Maodaner... but he was delayed by work.
Maodaner really likes green shoulder bags, especially since this one is the same as Yubao and Hengbao's, which makes her like it even more.
"……Thanks."
Mom said that Dad was a very patient and open-minded person. He was skeptical before, but now he believes it.
Commander Ning didn't want to hear his son say thank you, he just wanted to hear him call him dad.
"Why be so polite to me? If you need anything, just come to me, just like today." He looked expectant.
Maodan pursed his lips and said, "I understand, Dad."
