Chapter 16 - Wanting To Go To School (2)
However, this era was not like the'90s and '00s. There were only a few things that could be taken out. In Chen Meng'er's opinion, these things simply could not provide the nutrition that her body needed.
On the other hand, Chen Meng'er really wanted to take out the things in her space to nourish her father, mother, and two brothers. But if she took them out, they would be too conspicuous.
After Chen Meng'er replenished her nutrition, she went to the study room to look for books as usual.
Because most of the books in this study room were related to medicine and Chen Meng'er had nothing to do here to kill time, she treated researching medicine as her daily pastime. But, needless to say, as she researched, she really had a strong interest in medicine, especially in traditional Chinese medicine.
As soon as she entered the space, she entered the study room and entered the ocean of traditional Chinese medicine knowledge.
As time passed, the summer vacation was about to end. During dinner that night, Chen Ping told Chen Haoxuan that he was about to enter primary school. He told him to calm down and not be so naughty.
Chen Ping also said that if Chen Haoxuan did not perform well in school and was called a teacher, he would see how he would be spanked. Chen Haoxuan was so scared that he ran out of his room and went back to his own room. He was afraid that if he ran for a while, he would be caught by his father and spanked.
"Little Ping, what do you think Meng'er will do when Little Xuan starts school? We can't bring Meng'er to the field. I can't bear to let my baby daughter go to the field to be exposed to the wind and rain." After dinner, Liu Juan said to her husband, Chen Ping, as she cleaned up the dishes.
"What else can we do? As you can see, we have contracted the land and are very busy. There's no one left at home to look after Meng'er. I don't want Meng'er to go to the fields with us either, but my parents passed early, so there's no one to take our place." When Chen Ping mentioned that his parents passed early... he felt a wave of sadness in his heart and couldn't help but sigh.
"Aiya, why are you bringing this up? Why don't I send Meng'er to my parents and let them look after her for a while?" Liu Juan thought for a moment and said.
"Forget it. It's better not to mess things up for your parents. If you really send Meng'er over, your sister-in-law will probably quarrel again." Chen Ping really didn't dare say anything about Liu Juan's sister-in-law. He never understood why Liu Juan's elder brother married a woman who schemed against everything.
When Liu Juan thought of her sister-in-law, she immediately became listless. She could even imagine that she would be able to make a big fuss after sending her child to her parents' house.
"Then what do you think we should do?" Liu Juan looked at Chen Ping with a bitter face.
"Dad, Mom. Why don't you let me go to school with Xuan?" Sitting at the side, Chen Meng'er, who had been completely ignored by the couple, couldn't hold it in any longer. She raised her head and stared at them without blinking.
"Go to school with Xuan?" Chen Ping and his wife were stunned by Chen Meng'er's words.
"Yes. I'll go to school with Xuan. You Don't have to worry about who will take care of me." Chen Meng'er tilted her head and said.
"Meng'er, that won't do. You're still young. Even if we agree to let you go to school with your brother, Xuan, the teachers won't accept you." Chen Ping looked at his daughter's small figure; he imagined her sitting in the classroom with a group of seven-year-old children. No matter how he looked at it, it didn't match.
"Then dad, you mean that as long as the teachers at the school accept me as a student, you'll agree to let me go to school with Brother Xuan?" Chen Meng'er said, finding loopholes in Chen Ping's words.
"Eh, that's the theory." Chen Ping looked at his wife, Liu Yun, for help, and then said slowly.
"Okay. Dad, Mom, when are you going to take me to the principal of this primary school? I'll go talk to him and ask him to accept me." Chen Meng'er continued to throw bombs at Chen Ping and his wife.
After Chen Meng'er threw the bombs, she stood up from the small stool and slowly walked to her room. Chen Ping and Liu Juan were left behind. They looked at each other and didn't say a word for a long time.
"Little Ping, about this..." Liu Juan squeezed out a few words after a long time.
"Don't ask me what to do about this. You know that Meng'er is an extremely obedient girl. However, you know her temper as well. It's very difficult to change the things that she has decided on. If we reject her outright, I'm afraid that her young heart will hurt. Fine. In my opinion, we can only do as Meng'er says. When I make time, I'll take her to principal Chen's house. When that time comes, I'll have principal Chen tell Meng'er." Chen Ping didn't know how to persuade his precious daughter to give up the idea of her going to school with Little Xuan. Therefore, he could only entrust this arduous task to principal Chen.
He thought that this principal Chen was also an intellectual. When it came to persuading people, he was definitely more experienced than the two of them.
"Okay, then when are you going to bring Meng'er to principal Chen's place?" Liu Juan heard this and felt that Chen Ping's idea was not bad. However, the couple did not know that they had already fallen into the trap that Chen Meng'er had dug for them.
Chen Meng'er said all this because she hoped that she could use this opportunity to get her parents to bring her to the school's teacher.. Only when she met the school's teacher would she have the chance to enter primary school ahead of time.
