Chapter 400 Everyone Goes to School 5
Da Ni listened from the side, but she was happy for San Ni. She hoped that her younger sisters would all have a good life in the future.
At the same time, I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. I wish I could go to school with them!
In the next room, the boys were wailing incessantly.
"I don't want to go to school!" Chen Erbao jumped up and down in anger, just like a mischievous monkey.
He went to literacy classes, but they were incredibly boring.
Sitting for an entire day makes my butt feel like it's not even mine anymore.
"I don't want to go either!"
Chen Xiaobao chimed in, saying he just wanted to run around and play outside every day!
Chen Dabao also didn't want to go to school, not because he was playful, but because his head would hurt whenever he listened to a lecture, and he couldn't remember what he learned.
They'd rather work in the fields than go to school!
Unfortunately, my parents said I had to go, or they wouldn't give me any food.

After putting her son to sleep, Ma Xiulian thought for a moment and discussed with Chen Dazhu, "Old man, why don't we just let all the children in the family who are older than Xiaobao go to school? We, the two of us, will pay for the paper and pens. As long as they can continue to study, we will keep paying."
They are all her own grandchildren after all. Even if she favors her grandson, she still wants her grandchildren to have a good life in the future.
Just like Honghong did back then, she would pay for her grandchildren to continue their education, as long as they had good grades and could get into junior high or even high school.
"Okay." Chen Dazhu had no objections; it wasn't much money anyway.
Moreover, having seen his eldest daughter's example, he understood that if a girl were successful, she could still bring honor and glory to the Chen family.
Now they only have one daughter who went to the city to work as a factory worker, and people from all around are incredibly envious of their family.
However, the girls all have to get married, and he would be even happier if the boys could study hard and become successful, since only boys can carry on the Chen family line.

The next morning, Ma Xiulian announced the decision they had discussed the night before: "All the children in the family who are older than Xiaobao will go to school, and my wife and I will pay for their school fees."
Dani's eyes lit up, and she looked at her parents with a renewed sense of hope.
She talked to Sanni late last night. Sanni is going to work while studying, and she encouraged her to try to go to school as well.
Da Ni also thinks she can do it!
The family was silent for a moment before Chen Jianguo, the eldest son, spoke up: "How can we let our parents pay for this? We don't need your money; we have enough. But Dani won't go to school anymore, otherwise there will be no one to do the housework. Zhao Mei is also going to give birth in a few days, and someone will need to take care of the baby after it's born."
How can all the children in the family go to school!
Upon hearing this, the light that had just ignited in Da Ni's eyes instantly dimmed.
Dad is right. She should stay home and help. Her parents are already working so hard to support them. She shouldn't be so inconsiderate.
“Sanni isn’t going either. She’ll stay here to take care of Jinbao. Going in two years won’t make a difference,” Chen Jianye chimed in.
Sanni didn't even glance at him. She had long been disappointed in him. Her grandmother had promised her last night, and as long as her grandmother agreed, she would go!
Ma Xiulian glanced at him indifferently and said, "Xiao Bao is too young. He won't understand anything if he goes. Let him stay at home with Jin Bao and go in two years."
Chen Xiaobao immediately nodded repeatedly and said, "I'll stay at home and let my third sister go to school!"
He can go out and play while staying at home, which is much more comfortable than going to school.
My second brother said that if he doesn't study well, the school teacher will hit his palms, and he won't do that!
