Strive for

  Bai Wenyi was startled by Bai Wenli's excited appearance.

  "Big brother, what's the good news? Look at how excited you are! Did you pick up some money today?"

  Bai Wenli said with a careless tone, "Picking up money is no big deal. Let me tell you, I've found you a job at the coal mine in the county town, and the pay is pretty good."

  Bai Wenyi heard that he was looking for a job for himself, and his heart suddenly felt stifled. When he left school at the beginning, he didn't hate himself as much as he did now. Every time, it was his older brother who helped him to make amends.

  "Brother..."

  Bai Wengui smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

  "Second brother, this time you can't just say drop it and drop it. You have to do a good job. Your wife and children are still waiting for you to support them at home. I've already told others that you'll go over there in the next two days. Here's the address, just follow what's written on it to find this person."

  Bai Wenyi could only hold onto Bai Wenli's shoulder tightly and say, "Brother, this time I definitely won't let you down."

  Bai Wenyi reported to his new unit under the arrangement of his elder brother.

  Bai Haoran is going to school this year, and Geng Mei and her husband discuss the issue of where the child will live in the orchard.

  "Why don't we let our son live with his grandfather's house? Our home is closer and the child can also be taken care of."

  Geng Mei is most concerned about the children's living conditions, such as their enrollment in boarding schools, unless they live close to home, otherwise they all live in school dormitories.

  But she felt that her child was still young and couldn't bear the thought of letting her son live alone in school.

  Bai Wenyi also thought his daughter-in-law's suggestion was good, but Yu Tong didn't think so. Old Man Bai had always placed great importance on his grandson, but this emphasis made her feel somewhat uneasy.

  What sounds good is actually doting, but in her opinion, it's just spoiling. Moreover, those ideas that the two uncles occasionally instilled in her brother, she personally thinks, seem to be excluding her and her mother from the Bai family, making them feel like outsiders, as if only the people with the surname Bai are truly a family.

  She wouldn't allow such a thing to happen. The son is Geng Meisheng's. If he stays with the old man for too long, it will inevitably lead to an awkward situation between mother and son.

  She didn't expect to be able to rely on Bai Haoran to support her parents in their old age, at the very least she wanted this brother of hers to understand a man's responsibilities.

  She walked solemnly in front of her when she heard Geng Mei's words.

  "Mom, I don't agree to send my brother to live with grandpa. My brother is six years old, other kids can board at school, why can't he? Mom, you used to be a teacher, you should understand the reason..."

  Yu didn't dare look at her much, but just stared at her with small eyes.

  Geng Mei did not expect her daughter to say such a thing, and she, who had always been carefree, couldn't help but rethink Yu Xi's words.

  At first, she just didn't want her son to suffer, and it so happened that the old man was near the school. She could take care of more things, and she hadn't thought too much about it, but after listening to her daughter's words, she fell silent for half a moment before making a decision.

  "It's better for our son to board at school, this way it can be a good training opportunity for him."

  Bai Wengu laughed and said, "You're just thinking too much. I originally thought of letting him board at school, others' kids all do it, why can't he? Boys growing up with some scrapes and bruises isn't a bad thing, we didn't grow up that way when we were young, okay, this matter is settled, don't change what the old man has decided."

  Yu Tong feels that there is one bad thing about studying in this place: the school is very far from home, almost as far as going to a high school in mainland China.

  They have vast lands and sparse populations here, it is impossible for every regiment to have a school.

  Here is the translation:

  There are only a few schools in this area, and all students living elsewhere who want to attend school must live on campus, otherwise it's too far from home and impossible to commute.

  After finishing the work in the orchard, Geng Mei took Yueting to buy a schoolbag and learning materials for Bai Haoran. Originally wanted to find her son to go together, but the little guy didn't know where he ran off to play at this time.

  Arrived at the sales department, it turned out that they were all parents who came to buy things for their children. School is about to start, and if you don't buy now, it will be a bit late, so everyone rushed to buy school supplies for their children at home.

  In Yu's opinion, their sales department is really not big and the variety of goods is not complete. However, under the current circumstances, this can only be their only choice. Otherwise, they would have to go to the group department, who would make a car run so far for a school bag and a pencil case?

  The schoolbags were all uniformly military green satchels; backpacks were nowhere to be seen, at least not yet popular here.

  Other things are easy to buy, just a few things, Yu's point of view is that as long as it can be used, there is no good or bad to say.

  There are not many options to choose from, and they all have uniform Tianzi grid paper and arithmetic books.

  Geng Meige bought a large stack of white paper outside, this thing is cheap, it can be used as draft paper for her son and as practice writing paper for her daughter.

  Geng Mei and Yu Qing took stock of their things, everything was accounted for. The two had just bought some food and were about to leave when they unexpectedly ran into Zhou Chen's mother, Hu Yue.

  "Ah, Auntie, you're buying stationery for the kids too?"

  Geng Mei smiled and said, "What a coincidence, you're also here buying stationery?"

  "Our family's Zhou Chen has already prepared everything, I'll just come over to buy some soy sauce and then we can head back together."

  It didn't take long for Hu Yue to come out with a bottle of soy sauce and a package of pastries in her hand.

  "Look, the kid is about to go to school, I have to buy him some good food, otherwise this guy won't even want to go."

  Geng Mei smiled, "Sigh, I'm the same. I just want to make more delicious food for him before he goes to school. Otherwise, it's said that even the school cafeteria can't compare to our home-cooked meals..."

  Two mothers got together and finally found a common topic, which was the future life of their children, and they started discussing it.

  Yu Sai followed listlessly, seeing a figure flash by the edge of a small grove from afar. Because that person's movements were too quick, she didn't get a clear look at who it was. What's with this sneaking around in broad daylight? She silently cursed to herself.

  Just as Hu Yue was speaking passionately to Geng Mei, she suddenly remembered something. "Auntie, look at me, my brain really doesn't remember things. His dad asked me to buy him cigarettes and I completely forgot. You guys go ahead first, I'll go back and buy some."

  Geng Mei smiled and nodded, "Alright then. Let's go first."

  Yu Yu looked at Hu Yue with some suspicion, but seeing her really walking towards the sales department, thought to herself why bother meddling so much, whether she's real or fake has nothing to do with me anyway.

  "Mom, did you plan on letting my brother skip a grade since he's so good at studying?"

  According to her idea. It is said that both of them have finished the fourth grade elementary school curriculum, so it should not be a problem to skip grades."

  Geng Mei shook her head, "Silly girl. Your brother is still young, six years old and you want him to skip grades? He's just started school and hasn't even adjusted yet, let alone play with older kids, it would be even more difficult for him."

  "I think it's better to let your brother take his time, actually mom thinks that compared to studying. You guys need to learn how to enjoy the process, and this is also an opportunity for your brother to practice being independent. Skipping grades too early isn't necessarily a good thing for him."

  After all, Geng Mei used to be a teacher. If she really looked at a problem seriously, she would see it more clearly than Yu Tong.

  Even Yu Lin had to admit it, she was still a bit too radical.

  "Mom, why don't I go to school next year too? That way, I can still keep an eye on my brother. If he misbehaves at school, I can come home and tell you."

  Yu Tong planned to enter school early, although she was reborn, but in her previous life, her academic performance was not excellent, just mediocre. If it wasn't for her father hiring a private tutor for her later on, she might not have been able to get into that university even with the final sprint.

  But over the years, she has forgotten all the things she learned in high school, and even her junior high school days are barely remembered. She just wants to find a balance in time, in case she doesn't do well, she can still take the exam again, after all, she will definitely go to college.

  Geng Mei chuckled and patted her daughter's head, "Girlie, at your age, even if you want to go, Mom is worried that others won't accept you. However, if it's about supervising your brother, Mom can think of a way. This matter will be discussed next year."

  Yu's words didn't leave Geng Mei unmoved, her heart was also hesitant. The daughter was too young, but if the son and daughter were only one year apart, at least the older brother could take care of his younger sister a bit. As for their own maid, she thought that in terms of life and study, there would definitely be no problem. The only worry was that the child was too young and might get bullied at school.

  Yu Tong jumped and played beside Geng Mei, although in her heart she was already very old, but she felt that this childhood was not bad either. At least in her previous life, she hadn't had such a rich and colorful one. Since she had been reborn as a child again, she couldn't waste this rare childhood life.

  Walking onto the street, I saw Ma Lianhua leading her two sons dumping pig manure outside the wall.

  Geng Mei found it a bit strange, wasn't this something that Jin Defu used to do, or those people who followed him around? Why did Ma Lianhua come to do it herself today?

  "Sister-in-law, why are you doing this kind of work? Where's your big brother? This kind of physical labor is more suitable for men to do."

  Ma Lianhua wiped the sweat from her forehead, raised her body and smiled bitterly, "I said Geng Mei, you two are really busy, your brother has been gone for almost a month, and you don't even know?"

  Geng Mei had just heard the news that Jin Decai was not at home for the first time, and the couple had been leaving early and returning late recently, so they really didn't notice the dynamics of this neighbor's household.

  "Haha, sister-in-law, I'm so sorry, we both fell into the orchard, how were we supposed to know this news? Ah, where did Brother Jin go? He's been gone for such a long time?"
