Chu Yuefang listened to her daughter's words and although she smiled and praised her daughter's bravery, her heart was pounding with fear.
Although these things seem easy to talk about now, it is still scary to think about the situation at that time.
Chu Yuefang's face gradually became gloomy.
Her first feeling was that some beggar had pretended to be a fortune teller and wanted to lure her daughter away. He also wanted everyone in Huaihe Village to believe that Xiao Linglong was an unlucky person.
Even though we always talk about getting rid of superstitions, if people have strange ideas in their minds, it is hard to say what will happen next.
"Mom, are you unhappy too?"
Little Linglong sat on her mother's lap, hugged her neck and asked softly.
Chu Yuefang quickly calmed herself down and faced her little girl with a smile:
"No, why would I be unhappy? Of course not!"
Chu Yuefang didn't want her thoughts to scare her daughter. Of course, there was no point in telling her about this, so it was better not to say anything.
Even if they are worried now, it is a matter between adults and has nothing to do with the children.
Xiao Linglong: "Then Mommy has to smile, otherwise I'll be worried~"
"Okay, Mommy will listen to my baby Long'er~"
Chu Yuefang played with little Linglong for a while. Ling Li, who had just finished his homework, came over with Ling Xiaowu. She asked the two brothers to play with their sister. Then Chu Yuefang went to the kitchen to find Old Lady Ling.
The meal is almost ready now, with only the cornmeal and millet porridge left to cook for a while. The kitchen is already filled with a light fragrance.
Old Mrs. Ling and Ling Hancheng, mother and son, have been discussing how to take care of little Linglong.
It’s not that Mrs. Ling couldn’t take little Linglong with her to work in the fields, but that would be too hard for the child, not to mention Ling Xiaowu. It was really worrying to have these two children running around in the fields together.
Ling Hancheng also felt the same way about this. If there was only one child, he might still be able to handle it, but with two children, even if they were the most obedient, there would inevitably be times when they made mistakes.
But now they cannot afford to make any mistakes.
Chu Yuefang said, "I've thought about it. I'll let them go to school with me when the time comes."
"Ah?" Mrs. Ling was surprised by Chu Yuefang's sudden suggestion. "But isn't it also very inconvenient for you to attend classes..."
"It might not be possible during class time, but occasionally we can ask Hancheng to look after the children. We can adjust the classes and try not to have them at the same time, so that one of us will always have time," Chu Yuefang said. "It's really hard for Mom to take care of the children all the time. We can't just go to work and neglect the children."
Before, Chu Yuefang and Ling Hancheng had a very hard time at work. They could only have breakfast with their children in the morning. If they were late, they couldn’t even have breakfast.
The same goes for the evening. Sometimes, if there is a lot to do at school, I may not be able to have a meal with my family.
After talking to the children for a few minutes, I was busy preparing lessons again.
During this period, Chu Yuefang really felt that she had neglected her child a lot.
What happened this time was a wake-up call for her. If anything happened to the children, her life would really collapse.
No matter what, Chu Yuefang must ensure the safety of her child.
When Mrs. Ling saw her daughter-in-law's determined eyes, she didn't know what to say for a moment, and turned her head slightly to look at her son.
Ling Hancheng only glanced at his wife, then turned and nodded to Old Mrs. Ling.
"Mom, Yuefang is right, and I think the method she suggested is feasible," Ling Hancheng said. "It was relatively busy at the beginning of the school year, but now most of the time is back on track. As long as we adjust the classes, we can definitely find time to spare. Then we can take care of the kids in shifts."
"And there's another more important point. After all, this is a school, and everyone here is familiar. If someone unfamiliar comes, we'll be able to spot them right away. Even if they're playing in the school, it's absolutely safe."
No matter how small the school is, its scope is relatively limited, and there are either teachers or students, so it is easiest to discover if some strange person suddenly appears.
Since both the couple thought this method was good, then of course Mrs. Ling would have no objection. Apart from this method, she couldn't think of any better way.
It would definitely be a good idea to let the parents of the two children take on the responsibility of looking after them now.
"Why don't you just take them to school tomorrow and try staying there for a day?" suggested Mrs. Ling.
Hearing this, Ling Hancheng and his wife looked at each other.
"Okay, I'll listen to my mom!" Chu Yuefang nodded with a smile.
Afterwards, she called the children to come for dinner, and at the table, Mrs. Ling smiled and told them about tomorrow's arrangements.
Before Xiao Linglong and Ling Xiaowu could say anything, they saw Ling Li's eyes light up.
"Sister, are you going to school with us?"
Ling Li was so happy that he almost exploded!
It’s just great!
His sister actually wanted to go to school with them, so he didn't have to worry about whether his sister had eaten and drunk well every day!
That’s great!
Old Mrs. Ling stretched out her chopsticks and tapped her grandson's shoulder lightly: "Sister, either go to school or go take a look first!"
Even if he wants to go to school, he shouldn't go at the age of four. His hands will tremble so much that he won't even be able to write his own name.
There is no rush to go to school.
Ling Li said, "No matter what my sister is going to do, it's good for her to go! I just want to see her!"
Ling Li's thoughts are also very contradictory.
He wanted his younger siblings to study with them, but at the same time he felt that studying was very hard and it would be best to start later.
It’s really hard to decide.
Old Mrs. Ling shook her head helplessly.
Ling Xiaowu said, "I want to go. It's fun! Let's go and have fun!"
Ling Xiaowu doesn't care about anything else. As long as he has food, drink and a sister, he can go anywhere.
At this moment, the adults realized that Xiao Linglong had not said a word since hearing what was said just now. Could it be that he didn't want to go to school?
Chu Yuefang hurriedly asked: "Long'er, don't you want to go to school with mom and dad? If Long'er doesn't want to go, then we..."
Only then did Xiao Linglong shake his head, denying the idea of not wanting to go to school, but ran to Old Lady Ling and buried himself in her arms.
"I can't bear to leave grandma..."
Of course, Xiao Linglong didn’t want to go to school because she could see her parents, but she couldn’t bear to leave her grandma!
