My Courtyard Refuge

School starts

In a blink of an eye, the summer vacation time is over.

Although there was too much reluctance, Ma Lingling and her brother finally left.

Dad Xu replaced his granddaughter with a Xiawei brand mobile phone. Although it was second-hand, it was much better than the mobile phone that Ma Jie eliminated.

Among other things, at least the battery is new, so you don’t have to charge it every few hours.

In addition, Madam Xu also packed a lot of good things here, including five dried chickens, a large bag of snacks, and several boxes of yogurt, filling the two suitcases to the brim.

Early in the morning, Xu Dong personally drove the two of them to the high-speed rail station. He didn’t rush to work until he received a call from his eldest niece confirming that the two had boarded the car.

…

The next day, September 1st, is the first day of the new school year.

Xu Dong didn’t have time, so Yang Lina took the two daughters to report this time.

“Mom…I want to get a new schoolbag.”

Before leaving, Lele has another moth.

Yang Lina said with a straight face: “What kind of new schoolbag should I get instead? Do you see any shops selling schoolbags on the street? Where can Mom buy them for you?”

“No, I want it!”

“I see your skin is itchy, right?”

Yang Lina’s eyes widened, and she tugged on her sleeves, as if she was about to make a move.

Since moving to Yanjing, the youngest daughter has become more and more worried about being spoiled by her family, thinking that with her father’s support, she can be lawless at home.

Yang Lina didn’t mind teaching her a profound lesson.

Lele is a little ghost, seeing his mother’s expression is not right, and his father is not at home, so he immediately cowed, obediently put on his old schoolbag and went out.

The mother and daughter came to the school on foot. Although they came early, there were already many parents on the campus.

After all, in another hour, the temperature will soar, and there are so many people on campus, no one wants to suffer.

“Mother Keke, you’re here, why haven’t you seen Father Keke?”

The person who came was the mother of the twin classmate Da Yuan,The two met at the parent meeting, and usually communicated a lot in the class group.

“Her father still has to go to work. Recently, the leader of the power company came to inspect and couldn’t ask for leave.” Yang Lina explained.

Dayuan’s mother sighed: “Our guy is the same, he always works overtime recently, and he can’t even rest on weekends.”

“Busy, busy!” Yang Lina echoed.

“Don’t talk about it! Keke Mom, have you heard that schools across the country are going to change their schedules?”

“Uh, why did you change it?” Yang Lina really hadn’t heard of this information, so she couldn’t help asking curiously.

Dayuan’s mother explained: “It’s not because of the high temperature. You also know that many schools in China do not have air-conditioning, and many students suffer from heatstroke.

No way, now I can only modify the work and rest schedule, try to extend the lunch break as much as possible, and avoid high temperature periods. ”

“Then what time do you go to school and when do you leave school?”

Both Yang Lina and Xu’s mother don’t need to work, and they can pick up and drop off their children at any time, but they don’t care much.

“It’s from 7:30 to 10:30 in the morning, and from 3:30 to 6:30 in the afternoon, with a five-hour break in between.”

“What if the parents don’t have time to pick them up at noon?” Yang Lina wondered.

“I heard that you can also stay in school, and the school will gather you in an air-conditioned lounge to rest.”

“This is a good thing!” Yang Lina felt that this arrangement was very humane.

“That’s right!” Da Yuan’s mother nodded, “The child’s father and I won’t be able to come back at noon, so this can be considered a solution to the big trouble.”

The two mothers chatted and quickly completed the registration and payment of the second grade student status together. When all the fees were added together, Yang Lina only paid a total of more than 1,000 yuan.

The reason why it is so cheap is that the twins do not need to pay for accommodation and food, and the school milk was canceled as early as last semester because of insufficient conditions.

After deducting these three major items, the rest are mainly miscellaneous expenses such as insurance premiums, teaching supplementary fees, and school uniforms, and the sum is actually not much.

After the registration was over and the textbooks were collected, Yang Lina came back with the twins. The school will not start formal classes until next Monday.

“Grandma, we are back, I am thirsty, I want to drink lotus seed soup.”

As soon as he entered the yard, Lele couldn’t wait to shout loudly.

Xu’s mother was taking care of the triplets, when she heard the voice, she replied with a smile: “The lotus seed soup is stewed in the pressure cooker, let your mother scoop it up for you to drink.”

“Grandma, I want some ice.” Lele ran over and said coquettishly.

“What ice to drink? I forgot about the diarrhea last time. Listen to grandma and drink less ice.” Mama Xu took the opportunity to teach.

Lele tugged at Dabao’s face unhappily. She didn’t dare to touch Erbao and Xiaobao, and she would cry when she touched them.

“Knot… knot…”

Dabao thought that his sister was playing with him again, he moved his hands and feet in excitement, and laughed very happily.

Mama Xu slapped off her little granddaughter’s evil hands, and lightly reprimanded: “Don’t pinch your cheeks, your brother is still young, if you pinch your cheeks too much, you will often drool.”

“Aww… Aww…”

Lele made a face at Dabao and ran away, which made Dabao giggle.

Yang Lina just came into the room with two bowls of lotus seed soup, and when she saw the little daughter approaching, she handed her a bowl and said:

“I’ve added more sugar for you, drink it slowly, don’t burn it!”

“Really, Mom, you are so kind!” Lele said happily.

Yang Lina scolded with a smile: “When you encounter delicious food, you don’t care about anything. You are still angry with me in the morning!”

Ke Ke is much more sensible here. While drinking lotus seed soup, she also helped grandma look after Xiao Bao. Mama Xu was somewhat unable to take care of the triplets by herself.

In the evening, Xu Dong came back from get off work. In addition to bringing back two chickens, he also carefully selected gifts for the beginning of school for the two sisters, which was to make up for the regret that he could not ask for leave.

“Dad, what’s in the box, can I open it and have a look?” Lele asked with her head tilted.

Xu Dong shook his head: “No, this is a blind box. Whatever you choose is what you choose. You can’t peek at it, and you can’t go back on your word.”

“Sister, you choose first!” As a sister, Ke Ke knows what humility is.

Lele hesitated for a while before choosing the box on the left because it was bigger than the box on the right.

Just as the little guy wanted to open the box to have a look, Xu Dong stopped him:

“I can’t read it now, I’ll keep it with me first, and I can open it after the two of you go to bed.”

It may be the first time they have encountered such a strange request. Not only did the twins not feel lost, but they were full of curiosity. They even ate much faster than usual.

After brushing their teeth, taking a shower, and telling a bedtime story, the twins didn’t feel sleepy at all.

Xu Dong finally returned the two boxes to their respective owners, and then quickly slipped away with oil on the soles of his feet.

“Sister, let’s look at yours first!” Lele begged.

Ke Ke nodded, and slowly opened the box, only to see a violin lying inside. The violin is relatively small, with a body of only 30 centimeters, which is very suitable for children to use.

Ke Ke tried to pluck the strings, the sound was very crisp, she fell in love with it immediatelygifts.

Lele also had envy in her eyes. The next second, she couldn’t wait to open her own gift box.
