Chapter 193: As a child, you must go to school

—— If Aunt Lin agrees, I can send you to school.

As soon as the word "school" comes out.

Zhou Xiaochuan's eyes were like a flash of fireflies, brightening briefly for a moment.

Zhou Xiaohua, who was trying to stealthily pick up a wild strawberry, also stopped.

She blinked her big eyes and turned to look at Jiang Rou.

It's like school is more attractive than food.

Zhou Xiaochuan avoided Jiang Rou's gaze after a while.

He lowered his head, pursed his lips, and his face looked serious.

The boy had kept things in his heart in the past and would not say them out loud, but as they spent these days together, he was willing to tell Jiang Rou.

Zhou Xiaochuan spoke in a low voice.

“I’m not going to school.”

A crisp rejection.

This surprised Jiang Rou.

Jiang Rou still remembers what Zhou Xiaochuan looked like at Song Qingqian's house, the little child looking up at rows of books.

Although he could not understand anything, he read so intently, his eyes full of desire for knowledge.

How could a child like this not want to go to school?

Jiang Rou, who was holding the basket, put it down again.

She squatted down and looked Zhou Xiaochuan in the eye.

Asked softly.

"Xiaochuan, do you not want to go to school, or are you afraid that they will refuse you and not let you go to school?"

The expression on Zhou Xiaochuan's face changed slightly.

After all, he is still a child. No matter how mature he is, he still can't hide his thoughts.

The little wrinkled eyebrows moved slightly.

At this moment.

Countless noisy voices flashed through Zhou Xiaochuan's mind.

[My mother said that he is a lunatic. When he gets sick, he will bite people randomly, just like a mad dog.]

[He is sick! He is sick! My mom won’t let me play with him, saying that if I play with him I will inherit his disease!]

[The little lunatic born from a big lunatic, we don’t play with lunatics. 】

[Why did you come to school? School is not a place for crazy people. Why don’t you go back now? If you don’t leave, I will sue the teacher! ]

[Don't get close to him. If he bites you, you will become crazy, a mad dog, and die! He can kill people...]

Zhou Xiaochuan frowned hard.

He turned his head heavily and spoke in a muffled voice.

“I don’t like school.”

Unlike the boy's clear voice, these words were spoken with a dull and forceful tone.

Like a wounded little beast, it growled and whimpered.

It's all Zhou Xiaochuan's intense emotions.

Although Jiang Rou did not see Zhou Xiaochuan's red eyes and tears falling, she vaguely saw a lonely little soul curling up desperately.

Not only Jiang Rou, but Zhou Xiaohua also noticed it.

She completely forgot about the small table on the desk, opened her arms and squeezed over to hug Zhou Xiaochuan.

The short little fingers touched Zhou Xiaochuan's hand, and then touched Zhou Xiaochuan's face.

It was as if he was looking for the bloody wounds on Zhou Xiaochuan's body.

Zhou Xiaochuan raised his hands and hugged Zhou Xiaohua. He didn't say anything to comfort her, but just patted her on the back.

He was afraid that if he spoke out, he would lose control of the emotions he was trying so hard to suppress.

Jiang Rou saw this.

My heart is filled with sadness and sorrow.

She originally wanted to inquire carefully, preferably to force Zhou Xiaochuan to speak out his true feelings, so that the matter could be resolved cleanly and efficiently.

But now she has changed her mind.

It’s okay to hide things you don’t want to face.

Let her make the decision.

Jiang Rou stood up and looked at the two children hugging each other tightly, as if she was back to the beginning when they first met.

She reached out and touched Zhou Xiaochuan's head, letting out a soft chuckle.

"Humph, I don't care whether you like it or not. Children must go to school and learn to read and write. So just wait, I will send you to school in a few days."

Jiang Rou said this with domineering and confidence.

After she finished speaking, she didn't care about Zhou Xiaochuan's reaction, she picked up the bamboo basket she had prepared and went out.

Zhou Xiaochuan tilted his head back, looking at Jiang Rou, and saw her gradually leaving.

Having been treated gently by Jiang Rou for too long, he actually forgot for a moment that, in the very beginning, this woman had interfered with his and Zhou Xiaohua's lives with such a careless attitude.

From washing hands and taking a bath, small hygiene management, to eating and dressing, three meals a day.

Now...does that include going to school?

Can he really... go to school?

Zhou Xiaochuan's heart was filled with unknown doubts.

At the same time, I could hear his heart beating very fast in his chest.

Zhou Xiaohua looked at Zhou Xiaochuan strangely, touched his chest, and then touched his face.

【Brother, what's wrong with you? What's wrong? 】

"It's okay. Xiaohua, let's go feed the chicks some vegetable leaves."

[Okay! Brother, let’s go see the chicks together! ]

Zhou Xiaohua's attention was quickly diverted by Zhou Xiaochuan and she became happy again.

However, for a long time afterwards, Zhou Xiaochuan's eyes would occasionally look towards the gate of the courtyard.

I don't know when Jiang Rou will be able to come back...

…

Lin Yulan's home.

Boom boom boom.

Jiang Rou knocked on the door and soon heard a sound coming from inside.

"Come in, the door is not closed."

"Sister Yulan, it's me."

This was not the first time Jiang Rou came to Lin Yulan's house, and she was familiar with the place when she entered.

After not being there for a while, she noticed some changes in Lin Yulan's home, with more things in the house.

Lin Yulan was busy sorting some things, and put them away when she saw Jiang Rou coming.

She noticed Jiang Rou's eyes and took the initiative to speak.

"Yuyao moved out of the military camp, saying she was not used to the military dormitory, so she moved to my house. She was an unmarried girl, she liked beauty and had more things. The room where she slept was small, so some things that could not be put in were placed outside."

Jiang Rou suddenly understood when she heard it.

No wonder Lin Yulan's family suddenly had so many more things on such a poor island.

It turned out that the problem was with Lin Yuyao.

Not used to the barracks...

Jiang Rou couldn't help but sneer in her heart when she heard this reason.

Whether she is really not used to it or just pretending, only she herself knows.

It was true that she wanted to move out so that she could come and go freely and have more opportunities to interact with Zhou Chongshan.

This Lin Yuyao really doesn't understand Zhou Chongshan at all.

Zhou Chongshan would only feel more disgusted with people who could not endure hardship and could not abide by military discipline.

Jiang Rou's thoughts were fleeting.

She didn't come here today to inquire about Lin Yuyao, she had important business to attend to.
