Back in the military region, as soon as news of the Gaokao broke, Zhang Meihua immediately quit her teaching job and focused on studying at home. However, her two children were too boisterous, making it difficult for her to get much done in a single day. Furthermore, the children were still young and needed constant attention. So, after much deliberation, Zhang Meihua decided to return to Jiangjia Village to study, asking Jiang Mingwen and his wife to help look after their two-month-old child so she could focus on her studies.
Because the military area is located in a remote area and information is not very well-informed, Zhang Meihua is very grateful to Jiang Shushu for reminding her, which allowed her to review and find information in advance.
So Zhang Meihua brought her two children to visit Jiang Shushu's house as soon as she got off the train. It happened that Jiang Shushu was resting at home today. As soon as Jiang Shushu opened the door, he saw Zhang Meihua and her two children.
Zhang Meihua greeted warmly, "Good afternoon, aunt."
The two children must have been taught in advance. As soon as Zhang Meihua finished speaking, the two children immediately said in unison: "Little aunt, good afternoon."
"Hello, Xiaolan, hello, Xiaofei. It's been almost a year since we last met. You two are getting more and more beautiful. Come into the house and let Huanhuanlele bring you some candy. Huanhuanlele will definitely be very happy to see you."
As soon as Jiang Shushu finished speaking, the two children ran in to play with Huanhuanlele, and then the children's laughter could be heard from the house.
"Meihua, come in and sit down. Let's chat. Don't worry about the children. Just let them play by themselves. We can see them from the yard anyway." As long as there are no fights and no danger, they can play however they like. If clothes are dirty, they can be washed and worn again. If children are dirty, they can be washed and kept.
One of Jiang Shushu’s main points is spontaneity. He draws a territory for the children and lets them play freely. Therefore, Jiang Shushu never feels that it is difficult to take care of two children alone. On the contrary, it is quite easy. He can do whatever he wants.
"Okay, thank you, aunt."
Zhang Meihua is very grateful to Jiang Shushu, because Jiang Shushu not only helped her deal with the scumbag and the bitch, but also allowed her to get the news that changed her destiny in advance.
After Zhang Meihua sat down, she didn't see Jiang He and his wife. "Aunt, are you alone? Where are Fifth Grandpa and Fifth Grandma?"
"I'm off today, so I'll stay at home to look after the kids. I let them go out for a walk to relax. Otherwise, it's tiring to take care of the kids every day. Now they're probably either playing in the park or buying some daily necessities." Anyway, the old lady and the old man know a lot of people now, so even if they go out for a whole day, they can still find fun, food, and drinks. Now she never has to worry about whether they will be bored?
"It's good. Grandpa Wu and Grandma Wu are company, so I won't be bored. Aunt, are you taking the college entrance examination?"
"No, I'm not very interested in taking the college entrance examination. I'm very satisfied with my current life. I heard from my eldest cousin that you are taking the college entrance examination? Study hard and come on! I believe you can pass." After all, Zhang Meihua has been a fifth-grade teacher for several years. Not only does she have a better foundation than others, but she also usually reviews junior high school knowledge in order to better teach students. Zhang Meihua's level is already far beyond 80% of people. If she works hard on high school knowledge during this period, she will definitely pass.
"Aunt, why don't you take the exam? After you graduate from college, you can serve your country and you will have a bright future in the future." Zhang Meihua thinks that taking the college entrance examination is a very good and sacred thing, and she doesn't want Jiang Shushu to miss it.
"You can serve the country in any of the 360 professions. You don't have to go to college. I have things I want to do, and what I want to do has little to do with whether I go to college or not. I have already made up my mind, and you don't need to persuade me. Why did you come back? Your household registration has been transferred to the military region. Shouldn't you take the college entrance examination there?" Jiang Shushu couldn't talk about business yet, so he could only change the subject.
Seeing Jiang Shushu say this, Zhang Meihua didn't want to persuade him anymore. "I quit my job. I wanted to review well at home, but Xiaocheng is on a mission during this period, and the two children at home need someone to take care of them. Although my second aunt said she could help take care of them, my cousin and his wife, and my cousin are also taking the college entrance examination. My second aunt also has to take care of my cousin's children. My second aunt is already tired enough, and I am embarrassed to trouble her. Several families nearby who are close to me have students taking the college entrance examination at home, and they are also busy. I can only come back to trouble my parents and ask them to help me take care of Xiaolan and Xiaofei so that I can go all out to prepare for the college entrance examination."
"My eldest cousin and his wife will be very happy to see you back home. Study hard. There are also review materials in the village. If you see anything you need, take a look at them."
"Okay, thank you, aunt."
…
During the play time, Jiang Lan and Jiang Fei came to look for Zhang Meihua several times, but Huan Huanle never looked for Jiang Shushu once. Instead, he had a lot of fun.
Zhang Meihua was a little envious. Although she liked her daughter and son to be close to her and stick to her, sometimes she felt that taking care of two children was really tiring. She only felt better when Jiang Xiaocheng came home to help.
"Aunt, Huanhuanlele is so well-behaved that they can play for so long without coming to see you. If Xiaolan and Xiaofei were so well-behaved, I probably wouldn't come back to bother my parents. How do you usually take care of them? I feel so tired taking care of two children by myself, so tired."
Jiang Shushu: "..." If you're not tired, who is? We've only just sat down to chat for half an hour, and your daughter and son have already called you four times, either to wipe their sweat or their faces. They need you to wipe their hands if they're even slightly dirty, or to pat their clothes if they're even slightly soiled. A seven-year-old and a four-year-old, they can definitely do all these things on their own, okay? You do everything yourself, it's strange you aren't tired.
Children should be allowed to do things they can do by themselves. This will not only help them develop good habits, but also cultivate their hands-on ability. They will also feel happy and relaxed. Hello, I am fine, and everyone is fine.
Jiang Shushu smiled, "Haha... I mainly let my kids do what they want. As long as they don't cry or make a fuss, I usually ignore them. If their clothes or the baby is dirty, I just wash them. And their father taught them to do their own things. I've been teaching them to do things within their ability since they were three years old, such as washing their hands, washing their feet, eating, dusting... They can do these things by themselves. They are happy doing it, and it's less stressful for me to see them." There are so many things to do in a day. If others do the work, you won't be tired.
"Oh my god! You're so young, and you can do so much! That's amazing." Zhang Meihua praised him sincerely, but she didn't say she wanted to learn from him because she didn't want to let such a young child suffer. Zhang Meihua had it all planned out; she didn't want her children to suffer until they were ten. She didn't want her children to go through the same hardships she had gone through. She wanted her children to be happy and relaxed.
