Chapter 489 Entrance Examination
Speaking of this, Liu Yinyin pondered: "If things are done, I will discuss it with Sister Zhou."
"In the future, I will let her help take care of the triplets when I pick up the children from school. This will be a good opportunity for Jingnan Jingbei to come back often."
Gu Yanyan is still young, and Liu Yinyin is really worried if she doesn’t pick him up and drop him off herself.
Gu Cheng is a grown man and his ideas are different from Liu Yinyin's.
In his opinion, boys should exercise more and not be spoiled too much.
I thought so, but I didn't say it out loud.
Gu Cheng considered and said, "We'll talk about it when the time comes."
It was very cold on New Year's Day, but fortunately it didn't snow.
They had just moved into the family compound and the house was quite clean. Liu Yinyin had already cleaned several rooms.
The main task today is to prepare the New Year’s Eve dinner.
There weren't many people, so Liu Yinyin was thinking about making six dishes.
Chicken stewed with mushrooms, braised prawns, braised pork, sweet and sour spare ribs.
Make two more vegetarian dishes, stir-fried leeks with bean sprouts and cabbage stewed with vermicelli.
Because it's Chinese New Year, the family compound is quite busy today.
Liu Yinyin placed a large fruit plate on the table in the main room, which contained peanut seeds and White Rabbit milk candies.
It's for the kids who come to visit our house.
However, the weather is cold and few people want to go out.
It was not until the second day of junior high school that Gu Cheng rode his bicycle to town early in the morning to discuss with the school teacher whether Gu Yanyan and Chen Xiaofei could go to school.
There's a high probability that Chen Xiaofei will be fine.
Gu Yanyan......
It would be best if I could go to school, but if not, I would have to stay at home for another year.
Just as I was thinking about it, Hong Ling's family from next door came back.
During these few days of holidays, Hong Ling took her family to her mother's home to celebrate the New Year.
"Happy New Year!" As soon as I got home, Hong Ling came to visit with her two children.
"Happy New Year." Liu Yinyin opened the fruit plate and made a cup of maltose for each of the children.
Hong Ling sighed and said, "Why give them this to drink? Just add some sugar."
Liu Yinyin smiled and said, "It's New Year's Day, let them eat something better."
Hong Ling smiled and said, "By the way... I brought you two kilograms of mutton. My family bought it for me."
In addition to mutton, Hong Ling also brought a bag of apples for Liu Yinyin.
It is different from the small apples that Liu Yinyin usually eats.
The apples that Hong Ling sent were very big, each weighing at least 1 kilogram.
Moreover, it smells like a strong fragrance.
Hong Ling explained: "These are authentic rock sugar apples. Someone gave my father a box of them, and I brought some back."
It was only at this time that Liu Yinyin found out that Hong Ling's father was the deputy director of the food factory and her mother was also a cadre in the factory.
No wonder, every time Liu Yinyin wanted to buy high-end snacks, Hong Ling agreed without saying a word.
Rock sugar apples are a good thing. Coincidentally, Liu Yinyin has been steaming apples for the triplets every day recently.
Liu Yinyin didn't give Hong Ling's gifts in vain, she gave her a box of persimmon cakes and a bag of candied fruit in return.
In addition, when Hong Ling returned, she picked a basket of vegetables for her.
Hong Ling works in town, so she certainly can't afford to build a shed to grow vegetables.
The vegetables grown by Liu Yinyin's family are just enough for the whole family to eat, and they also give some to their neighbors from time to time.
This is how the Chinese New Year is, neighbors will visit each other.
It is not convenient for Liu Yinyin to go out with her child, so others always come to her house.
Zhou Xiaomei also brought her sons home and sat for a while.
The two families get along well, and Zhou Xiaomei even gave red envelopes to Gu Yanyan and the triplets.
Liu Yinyin gave her four red envelopes in return, including one from Chen Xiaofei.
"Where is your Brigade Commander Gu?" asked Zhou Xiaomei.
The main reason was that Gu Cheng had been at home taking care of the children these days and was suddenly away today, so Zhou Xiaomei asked out of curiosity.
Liu Yinyin told the truth: "He went to school... Ask Xiaofei and Yanyan about their schooling."
Zhou Xiaomei already knew that Chen Xiaofei was going to school.
The two also asked Chen Xiaofei for his opinion. Although he was a little nervous, Chen Xiaofei finally agreed to go to school.
What surprised Zhou Xiaomei was Gu Yanyan: "Yanyan is going to study too?"
"Yes." Liu Yinyin explained, "He can't stay at home, so why not send him to school."
Zhou Xiaomei said, "How old is he? He is too young to live in the dormitory."
"Sister-in-law." Liu Yinyin smiled, "I'm afraid I need your help with something. If Yanyan can really go to school, I will definitely pick him up."
"When the time comes, I'd like you to help me look after the triplets."
Seeing that she had really decided to send Gu Yanyan to study, Zhou Xiaomei agreed to Liu Yinyin's request after some persuasion.
"No problem. I don't have a job anyway, so I'm free anytime..."
Several waves of guests came to Liu Yinyin's house throughout the morning, and the house didn't quiet down until noon.
I made a lot of dumplings yesterday afternoon.
At noon, Liu Yinyin cooked dumplings. When lunch was ready, Gu Chengcai came back.
Liu Yinyin quickly asked him, "What's wrong?"
Gu Cheng: "The school agreed, but before admission, you have to take an exam."
You have to pass the exam first before you can enter the school smoothly. Otherwise, it will be difficult to shut up other people.
Liu Yinyin thought about it and agreed: "They will definitely be fine."
Gu Cheng nodded slightly: "I will take them to school for the exam in two days."
Gu Cheng also brought back a few test papers.
In the next two days, Liu Yinyin accompanied the two children to practice exercises...
Fortunately, everything went smoothly, and in the end, both children passed the exam.
Gu Yanyan was still young and didn't quite understand what going to school meant.
"Mom, Dad said I will go to school in the future?"
Liu Yinyin nodded: "There are many children in the school. You can play with them when the time comes."
School and nursery are definitely different, and I don’t know if the little one can adapt to it.
Liu Yinyin chose nice things to say to him.
Give it a try first, and then ask him how he feels about it. He must really dislike going to school.
Liu Yinyin took him back and decided to talk about his studies after a year or two.
Gu Yanyan asked in a baby voice: "What about my brother?"
Liu Yinyin paused: "...Just like in the nursery, I will pick you up from school every day and you can play with your brothers when you get home."
Gu Yanyan was very receptive. After knowing that he could go home to be with his younger brothers every day, he happily agreed to go to school.
Before school starts, Liu Yinyin sewed a new schoolbag for the kid...
I also sewed one for Chen Xiaofei.
After school started, Liu Yinyin sent them to school in the morning and picked them up in the afternoon.
At noon...the town’s school has a cafeteria where they can eat.
