Chapter 398 Everyone Goes to School 3
"No! We have to go!" Chen Jianye said with a grim expression.
Only by studying can you become a worker, earn big money, and have a bright future!
Although Sanni had already known this would be the outcome, she still gritted her teeth and tried to fight for it: "Dad, I want to go to school."
She didn't want to spend her whole life toiling in the fields, never even having enough to eat.
Chen Jianye was taken aback when his eldest daughter made such a request. He was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "But if you go to school, Jinbao will have no one to take care of him."
Sanni stood there staring at him, her voice even pleading as she repeated, "Dad! I want to go to school. When I come back from school, I promise I'll do all the chores I'm supposed to do, and I won't be lazy!"
Chen Jianye avoided her pleading gaze and said firmly, "Wait two years until Jinbao is a little older before you go."
Although there are no tuition or textbook fees, going to school still costs money. There's no time to work during the day, so we can only make do with our eldest daughter for now.
Sanni, her eyes red, didn't say anything more, silently turned around and walked out of the house.

There was a moment of silence in the eldest son's room before Chen Jianguo finally spoke, "At most, only one of Da Ni or Er Ni can go to school."
Sisi is still too young, so we're not considering her for now.
"I want to go! I want to be a city dweller like my aunt, work hard to earn money and take care of my parents in the future!" Erni shouted immediately, unconsciously clenching her fists, feeling a little excited.
My aunt was sent to school by my grandmother, and then she married and moved to the town. Every time she came back, she brought back lots of things. Life there was so much better than in the countryside!
Da Ni also wanted to go to school, but looking at her expectant younger sister and her pregnant mother, she hesitated for a moment and said, "Let Er Ni go. I'll stay home and do the chores."
“In that case, let Erni go,” Chen Jianguo decided.
Erni was immediately overjoyed; she was going to go to school and become a city dweller!
Zhao Mei knew that her eldest daughter also wanted to go to school, but the family's situation really didn't allow it, so she couldn't help but feel sorry for her eldest daughter.
So he instructed Erni, "Erni, come back as soon as you get out of school and help with the chores, okay?"
"I know, I know! Don't worry, Mom! I'll come home as soon as I get out of school to help my older sister with the chores." Erni readily agreed; she'd do anything you asked now.

Chen Jianmin, who had just become a father, was holding the twins with great affection while talking to Liu Lanzhi about it: "The commune's primary school will be completed soon, and the children in our family will need to go to school. How about we take care of the children ourselves?"
"Sure!" Liu Lanzhi nodded in agreement without hesitation.
She also wants to raise her child herself!
My baby is so close to her in-laws because they raised her from a young age.

Seeing her granddaughter rubbing her eyes, Ma Xiulian knew she was sleepy, so she asked, "Sweetie, do you want to go pee?"
Children need to go to the toilet before going to bed to sleep more soundly.
"want."
Helian Jiao nodded, and seeing her grandmother reach out to hug her, she rolled off the bed herself: "I'll go by myself."
Ma Xiulian didn't stop her, watching with a smile as she watched her little legs dart out.
As soon as Helian Jiao stepped outside, she saw a small figure crouching in the corner of the courtyard, sobbing softly with each tremor of her shoulders.
Helian Jiao tilted her head, stepped forward, patted the other's shoulder, and asked, "Third Sister, why are you crying?"
She knew her third sister wasn't a crybaby, and she could sense her sadness at that moment.
Sanni quickly wiped away her tears, turned around, and said, "Nothing's wrong."
"Oh," Helian Jiao replied, then turned to go to the toilet to pee.
