Chapter 29
Xu Niancheng was already prepared to skip school with the baby's mother.
“Little Bao, I’m not having any trouble adjusting. Kindergarten is so much fun!” the baby’s mother said sweetly. “The teachers and other children praised me for playing the piano and singing well, and they even gave me snacks.”
She shook Xu Niancheng's hand: "Xiaobao, I'm going to bring snacks to kindergarten tomorrow to share with my friends."
Yinyin gave her sweet and fragrant milk candy, and she was a sensible and grateful little girl, so she had to reciprocate.
“Okay.” Xu Niancheng readily agreed, “Bring all your favorite snacks, take as many as you can, so the kids can all have some.”
My daughter is so thoughtful.
Xu Niancheng cleared her throat, bent down and leaned closer to ask, "Mom, have you used that smartwatch? Is it fun?"
Seeing her daughter's longing look, Xu Yirou immediately understood and quickly took off her phone watch: "Here, Xiaobao, you can take it and play with it. Just give it back to me before school tomorrow."
She instructed, "Oh, by the way, Xiaobao, go to bed early tonight. Don't stay up late playing with your smartwatch, it'll affect your growth."
The pink and delicate smartwatch lay quietly in Xu Niancheng's palm.
Xu Niancheng rubbed her head, both amused and exasperated, realizing that she could only be straightforward with the cub's mother.
"Mom, don't you miss us when you go to kindergarten?" She buried her head in Xu Yirou's shoulder and said sweetly, "I've been waiting for your call."
She made a bet with her second brother, He Nianzhu, in the group chat about who their mother would call first, and whoever she called first would be the one their mother loved the most.
They both gambled on themselves.
In the end, no one won.
Xu Yirou swung her little feet and shyly hugged her daughter back: "Of course Mommy missed you."
But kindergarten is so much fun! There are so many great things she's never played with before!
There are slides, trampolines, seesaws, sandpit, and a swimming pool. The teacher said there will be horseback riding lessons next week, and each child can ride a pony. Just thinking about it makes me so happy!
As for her children... I'm thinking about it a little.
The mother cub felt guilty and dared not look her daughter in the eye.
Xu Niancheng immediately understood, feeling both happy and disappointed. They would give her mother a brand new and happy childhood, and she was glad to be able to participate in this time as a child.
It's okay even if Mom grows up and leaves them in the future.
She couldn't help but hug the cub tightly in her arms.
Back home, Xu Yirou couldn't wait to stuff her schoolbag until it was bulging before she stopped.
Cookies, yogurt, potato chips, jelly, spicy strips... well, let's skip the spicy strips and add more of the Planet Cups that kids love!

Uncle Yun: "Madam, this is a package that the second young master instructed me to personally deliver to you."
Xu Yirou, who was eating breakfast, became interested, put down her spoon, and asked in a soft, curious voice, "What is it? I know, it must be a gift from Xiaobao. Let's open it and see."
As soon as the package was opened, a splash of light green immediately caught my eye; unfolded, it revealed a beautiful long dress.
He Nianzhu, who was filming far away, did not forget that yesterday was the first day of school for the cub's mother.
To celebrate his mother starting school, he had a green Chinese-style children's princess dress custom-made several days in advance and rushed it to order; it's only just arrived.
Knowing that her mother likes wearing wings, she specially paired a pair of super large butterfly wings with her. Wearing this outfit out and turning heads on the street, she's guaranteed to turn heads.
She looks like a fairy who stepped out of Chinese mythology.
Xu Yirou was overjoyed to receive this surprise early in the morning; her little face was beaming with joy.
The toddler, dressed in a pretty little dress, stood in front of the mirror admiring himself, turning left and right, never getting enough of looking at himself.
Xu Qingyan, who was waiting to the side, glanced at the time and reminded her, "Mom, it's almost time. We should go to school."
Xu Yirou nodded like a chick pecking at rice: "Okay, let's go now."
Wearing this little dress to kindergarten will definitely make her the most beautiful girl in the whole place!
"Mom, wait a minute, you haven't changed into your school uniform yet." Xu Qingyan caught up with her.
Xu Yirou was bewildered: "What school uniform?"
"It's the blue uniform skirt you wore yesterday."
Xu Yirou: "Oh, then I won't wear the school uniform today. I want to wear this instead."
“Mom, we have to wear the kindergarten uniform to kindergarten, we can’t wear our own clothes,” Xu Qingyan said. “That’s the kindergarten’s rule.”
Xu Yirou held onto the green princess dress tightly, reluctant to let go.
"Then...then could you add a little wing to your school uniform?" She blinked and gestured with her chubby little hands. "Just a little one will do, a little one will be very cute."
Xu Qingyan politely declined: "Mom, the purpose of wearing school uniforms is to be uniform. If I add little wings to your school uniform, it will not be uniform and will disrupt the overall harmony."
"I don't care, I want to wear it!" Xu Yirou's temper flared up. "I want to look good!"
Xu Qingyan pulled out her trump card: "Then I'll call Teacher Lin and ask her what she thinks."
Xu Yirou: ! !
"No, no!" Xu Yirou immediately pressed him down. "Don't call the teacher!"
He Nianzhu was a poor student since childhood. Due to his terrible grades and unruly personality, it was common for his parents to be called in. The school office had a place for him and his mother.
The mother and son became a striking sight in the office.
Xu Yirou feared that her teacher had already penetrated her soul and been etched into her DNA, and that even if she shrank, she would not be able to escape it.
"So, Mom, are you planning to change into your school uniform now?" Xu Qingyan transformed into a ruthless study manager. "You have five minutes left."
Xu Yirou pouted, her big eyes filled with deep reluctance, and gave a heavy snort before pushing her eldest son out of the dressing room.
"I'm changing clothes, don't you dare peek!"
Bang!
The sound of the door closing echoed down the corridor.
Xu Niancheng, who had just woken up: ? ? ?
Oh, did my older brother actually get a cold shoulder from Mom?
Brother, you've finally met your match.
Xu Niancheng came over with a smile and patted Xu Qingyan on the shoulder: "Big brother, are you alright?"
"It's alright, you'll get used to it." Xu Qingyan said calmly. "You all need to learn to get used to it too."
"Get used to what?" Xu Niancheng asked sincerely, "Do you mean Mom's little temper?"
"It's just a cub's little temper."
Xu Niancheng: "Oh, then you can rest assured, big brother. Mom has never lost her temper with me."
Although there's an element of bragging involved, the cub's mother's affection for her remains unchanged; she used to be a gentle mother, and now she's a sweet little angel.
"..." Xu Qingyan pressed his temples and dismissed her, "Alright, go downstairs and have breakfast."
Xu Niancheng had just left happily when Xu Yirou, who had changed her clothes, came out with a sour face.
She sat in the car, sullen and deliberately avoiding looking at her eldest son, revealing her chubby little profile reminiscent of Shin-chan from Crayon Shin-chan.
Xu Qingyan: "Mom?"
Hmph, I'll ignore it.
"Mom, kindergarten will be over in three days. Can you wear that dress this weekend and I'll take you out for a spring outing?"
Xu Yirou crossed her arms haughtily: "No, I'm not going."
Xu Qingyan tried to strike up a conversation: "Why don't you go? Do you not like going out or don't you like spring outings?"
"I don't like any of them." Xu Yirou deliberately contradicted herself, "I hate them, I hate them."
"I understand, Mom is angry with me." Xu Qingyan said helplessly, "Mom, now that you're in kindergarten, you should follow the kindergarten's rules, shouldn't you? When in Rome, do as the Romans do."
“If I hadn’t stopped you, you probably wouldn’t have been allowed into kindergarten wearing that dress.”
He tries to present facts and reason things out, but the mother of the cubs doesn't buy it at all.
"Are you blaming me?" Xu Yirou asked with a stern face. "Do you think Mommy is being unreasonable and making a fuss?"
Xu Qingyan was completely out of sync with the cub's mother's train of thought.
Hmm... wasn't he just stating the facts and reasoning about it?
Despite not understanding the connection, Xu Qingyan answered earnestly, "Of course, I don't have a mother anymore."
"Liar, it's definitely true!" Xu Yirou's eyes shone brightly with anger. "You naughty Da Bao, I'm not talking to you anymore!"
Xu Qingyan frowned, feeling that her mother's anger had come on somewhat inexplicably.
"Mom, can you tell me why you're angry?"
Xu Yirou raised her little head: "Look at you, you don't even realize your mistake. Even if I tell you, you definitely won't change."
Finally, she rolled her eyes dismissively and said, "You men are all the same, you're so good at sweet-talking girls."
Xu Qingyan: ...
"Mom, I swear I will change as long as you tell me."
Considering that Da Bao's usual behavior was quite good, Xu Yirou decided to trust him this once.
"You just threatened me, have you forgotten?" she pouted angrily. "You threatened to call the teacher to tell on me, Da Bao, you're so mean."
Xu Qingyan immediately denied it: "Mom, I didn't mean that."
He was simply trying to get outside help because he couldn't handle the cub's mother, and he wanted Teacher Lin to do some persuasion. He absolutely did not intend to use this opportunity to threaten her.
He didn't expect his mother to be upset about this.
He thought about it and realized that even if he didn't really mean it that way, the fact that his mother, as the person involved, felt threatened meant that his actions were indeed inappropriate.
"See, you deny it as soon as I say it." Xu Yirou had a knowing look on her face. "You think I'm wronging you, so you definitely won't change your mind."
Xu Qingyan was speechless.
He couldn't help but take this matter seriously.
After a moment of contemplation, Xu Qingyan sat up straight, turned to the side, and solemnly promised, "I'm sorry, Mom, I won't mention contacting the teacher again unless it's an emergency."
"I will correct everything you said."
Da Bao is the most upright and trustworthy of Xu Yirou's three children. He is reliable and trustworthy, and she knows that once Da Bao makes a promise, he will definitely keep it.
Even if she wanted a star from the sky, Da Bao would find a way to pluck one down from the sky.
Xu Yirou's attitude softened slightly. She reached out her soft little hand and pinched her son's face: "Okay, I'll forgive you this time. Oh, I'm such a good mom."
Da Bao looks cold and hard like a piece of wood, but it feels so good to squeeze.
Next time I see Bubble, I must let it squeeze and play with me too.
Xu Qingyan: "Mom, now that you're not angry anymore, can we communicate on an equal and friendly basis?"
When the mother cub is in a good mood, the cub becomes cheerful and speaks with a happy tone.
She waved her hand generously: "Say whatever you want."
"Mom, why are there so many snacks in your schoolbag?"
"..."
How did you open my backpack?!
The mother of the cub blushed and snatched her backpack back from her son's hands, as if she had been caught red-handed.
My backpack was stuffed too full, and before I knew it, all the snacks had spilled all over my feet.
Xu Qingyan's lips twitched at the sight of all sorts of snacks scattered on the ground. If his mother's backpack hadn't been unusually heavy, he wouldn't have opened it even a crack to check.
Who knew that Mom was doing something big without saying a word?
Xu Yirou hurriedly tried to squat down to pick it up, but Xu Qingyan stretched out his long arm to stop her: "I'll pick it up, you sit down."
The driver saw the situation in the rearview mirror and immediately slowed down.
Under the anxious supervision of the cub's mother, Xu Qingyan picked up all the scattered snacks and put them into her little backpack.
"You're not allowed to confiscate my snacks!"
That was a gift she had painstakingly prepared for a long time, which she wanted to share with the children.
Xu Qingyan: "I won't confiscate them, these are all your things, Mom."
Anyway, it definitely can't be brought into the kindergarten.
Xu Yirou thought she had saved her backpack full of snacks, breathed a long sigh of relief, and smiled again.
The closer she got to the kindergarten, the brighter her eyes became.
As soon as she got off the bus, Xu Yirou entered the kindergarten and found her classroom with ease. Xu Qingyan followed behind her at a leisurely pace and witnessed the cub's mother being stopped.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, her backpack full of snacks was exposed to the teachers and other children.
Having received advance notice, Teacher Lin feigned surprise before sternly reprimanding, "Rou Rou, outside snacks are prohibited in kindergarten. These snacks are not allowed in the classroom. I'll let it go this time; I won't blame you. But you can't secretly bring snacks in the future, understand?"
Xu Yirou was confused for a moment after being stopped. She had eaten the milk candy that Yinyin had brought yesterday...
