Chapter 137
When he muttered, Sun Laimei remembered the time when Dongdong was three and a half years old and went to a state-owned restaurant with his uncle to eat. He couldn't finish the food and had to secretly take it back. The braised pork in the state-owned restaurant was very oily, and she had to wash his coat two or three times before it was clean.
Sun Laimei carried him to sit on a stool and put a few pieces of meat in his bowl with concern.
"Thank you, grandma." Kong Dongdong held the bowl and carefully counted the food in the bowl. Seeing that there was still food in the big bowl, he started to eat seriously.
Seeing that he was only focused on eating, Sun Laimei started to worry again, "Have you decided whether to let Dongdong eat at school or come back for lunch?"
This morning, while shopping, they also took time to visit the elementary school and inquire about related matters. The school will cover lunch, though it's a small fee. The food is provided by the school, and they typically have a small meat dish once a week, usually tofu and vegetables, and occasionally eggs. The food is already quite good, but Sun Laimei is worried about her child's job being taken away.
The schools in Ningchuan City are different from those in the commune. Besides, Dongdong was being taken care of by her daughter-in-law at that time.
The couple looked at each other.
Lu Chunnong was actually worried that her child might not be getting enough to eat at school, but she also felt that her child needed exercise.
Lu Qin paused while eating and turned to see Kong Dongdong. While his movements weren't rude, his face was practically buried in the bowl, which was quite similar to his. Furthermore, the little kid was eating with his ears perked up.
It sounded like he was worried that Kong Dongdong's job at the elementary school would be taken away.
Sun Laimei prefers to bring the child home to eat. At worst, she can cook lunch early. At home, she can always cook anything and the child will not be hungry.
Lu Qin gestured to Qin Shi to eat more before he interrupted, "Aunt, why don't you ask Kong Dongdong for his opinion? Ask him if he wants to eat at school or come back."
Kong Dongdong finally raised his head and looked at his uncle.
Qin Shi was amused by the child's reaction, and the family atmosphere of the Kong family made her feel comfortable.
Lu Qin lowered his chin and said, "Let your mother tell you."
Sun Laimei said without thinking, "The child probably doesn't understand."
After she finished speaking, she looked at her daughter-in-law.
Lu Chunnong, "It's okay to ask him. Dongdong."
"Mom." Kong Dongdong sat up straight.
Lu Chunnong lowered her voice and tried to speak to him in the tone of someone her age. "Today we took you to see where you will go to school. There will be lunch at school. Mommy wants to ask you, do you want to eat at school or have your grandma pick you up?"
"Ah," Kong Dongdong glanced at everyone present, "Grandma, I want to eat at school."
He may have known that his family had different opinions.
Sun Laimei's heart skipped a beat. "What if you don't have enough to eat? What if someone else steals your food?"
Lu Qin's eyelids twitched. Perhaps this was what parents would worry about. The event hadn't even happened yet, but already they had a hypothetical scenario. When he and his wife disagreed with the elderly, Lu Qin felt it was best to refrain from interrupting.
Kong Dongdong shook his head without even thinking, with a stern face, "No, it's hard work for you."
Sun Laimei wanted to say it wasn't hard anymore, but in the end she said, "If you're being bullied, just tell us, or you can tell the teacher."
"Yeah!" Kong Dongdong nodded obediently.
Finally, everything was settled, and the next thing was the start of school. After dinner, Sun Laimei reminded them to go to bed early.
At night, Lu Qin walked around his brother-in-law's door and said, "Dongdong."
Kong Xiangxiang, who had just finished taking a shower, ran out and was picked up by Lu Qin.
"Brother-in-law, Kong Dongdong, sleep with me tonight." Lu Qin put his arm around Kong Dongdong and turned around and walked into the next room handsomely.
When Kong Yue came out, the two of them were gone, and the door next door was closed. Through the door, you could hear the muttering sounds from next door.
Lu Qin whispered to Kong Dongdong for a long time.
The next morning, when Kong Dongdong woke up, he was still yawning, but his eyes were dark and bright. I wonder what knowledge he had learned from his uncle.
Kong Yue didn't know whether he should be relieved or not. He picked up his small bag, checked the stationery inside, and gave him the water bottle. "Today, I will take you to recognize the teacher and the classroom.
He said the second half of the sentence with great difficulty, "If you are bullied at school in the future, just do what your uncle tells you to do."
Kong Dongdong's facial expression management was not very good. He looked at him with wide eyes in surprise, as if wondering how he knew. "Okay."
Kong Yue: It really is...
Whether there is one or not, it’s time to go to school.
When Lu Chunnong went out, she asked her mother-in-law, "Mom, are you really staying at home and not with us?"
"No, I bought some vegetable seeds yesterday and I'm going to plant them today. If I'm lucky, I'll be able to eat them next month."
The vegetables in Laiyang are extremely expensive and you can’t buy them even if you have money.
Lu Qin carried the bedding and held Qin Shi's in his right hand, "Aunt, I'll be back in the evening."
Sun Laimei waved her hand, her eyes wrinkled with laughter, "Just do your job well."
Seeing that they had all left, Sun Laimei closed the gate and the yard suddenly returned to silence. She was not used to it, so without thinking, she picked up her hoe and went out to work. The moment she held the hoe, she felt at ease.
The couple and Lu Qin split up into two groups. Lu Chunnong also reminded him to take good care of the people.
I took the bus to the vicinity of the school. There were more than twice as many people at the school gate today as yesterday.
Lu Qin first sent Qin Shi upstairs. When passing by the dormitory manager's small house, he just relied on his face to arrange for the luggage to be put into the safekeeping area of the dormitory manager.
"Thank you, sister. You are so kind. I will come down and take it away later."
The dorm auntie was amused by him and burst into laughter. "Don't worry, just pack it up and I'll pick it up before lunch."
Qin Shi stood at the corner of the stairs, watching him making arrangements without any surprise. Some people can make arrangements for anyone they meet wherever they go.
Lu Qin waved his hand in front of his eyes and picked up the luggage on the ground. "What are you looking at? Come on, I'll take you upstairs first."
Qin Shi came back to her senses. There were no boys coming and going. She pursed her lips and said, "Comrade Lu, why don't I go up by myself?"
"It's okay. I'm not in a hurry. It's just two steps away. It's on the second floor of the north building, right? It's not very high." He had to send it off.
Lu Qin felt that if he promised someone, he had to do it well.
Seeing him preparing to go upstairs, Qin Shi had no choice but to follow him.
The stairs are plastered with cement and the walls on both sides are painted with white putty, but they have become mottled after a period of time.
Lu Qin turned around and reminded her, "If the dorm manager is a good person, you can build a good relationship with them. There's always room for help."
The first dormitory on the second floor, all the doors on the right were open. Lu Qin glanced at it and then looked away, confirming that it was the correct dormitory.
Seeing that he was about to go in, Qin Shi took the lead and said, "Let me go in first."
The girls' dormitory is to avoid inconvenience to the people inside. Of course, this possibility is very small at the beginning of the school year.
Lu Qin decisively moved aside. He heard noises coming from the inner room, and it seemed like there was a child's voice.
There were already two female comrades inside, one making the bed and the other clearing the table.
As soon as they heard the noise, they looked over.
As for the child, he was sitting on a stool in the dormitory with a piece of clothing under his butt.
Liang Hong and He Xiangxiang saw at a glance a pretty female comrade coming in, followed by a handsome male comrade.
