Rebirth and Raising a Baby

"Mother, I have no objection." Lin Ling agreed with a smile.

Just kidding, they have no room for meddling in this matter, the mother has already decided.

Seeing that the other two families were a little confused and uncertain, Lin Ling quickly grabbed Chen Hongying and Liu Xuemei and told them to be more obedient today, so as not to annoy Mother.

……

After finishing the matter, Lin Chunhua left, went upstairs to avoid people, and did not seem to explain.

"Second sister-in-law, what's going on?"

The dust has settled.

But Chen Hongying and Liu Xuemei were still full of doubts.

Suddenly calling everyone to talk about this matter, and giving them benefits for no reason, it always feels weird.

Lin Ling shrugged: "Take it if it's beneficial, don't worry about it so much."

In this matter, since Mother chose to conceal the younger brother's behavior, there must be her own reasons, there is no need to reveal it, it will make everyone feel uncomfortable, and destroy the relationship between brothers.

Chu Zhi didn't speak the whole time, but nodded slightly when Lin Chunhua asked him.

Now that Lin Chunhua left, the brothers surrounded him.

"Little brother, do you really want to change your surname?"

"Can't we change it?"

Chu Li couldn't figure it out, the family was not too poor to live on, so why did he want to change his younger brother's surname...

"The names of our brothers are pretty good. You can tell that you are real brothers when you hear them. If you change your surname now, that would be bad..." Chu Ren always felt a little awkward.

Although the mother said that they are still brothers after changing their surnames, but the younger brother will inherit the things from the Xu family in the future, but he feels that there is still something different.

Chu Zhi smiled wryly and shook his head.

Facing his brothers, he couldn't tell the truth, and he couldn't push everything to his mother against his will, so he could only keep silent.

……

I haven't waited for a reply for a long time, and my brothers also know that this is probably the way it is, so I can only accept it with a sigh.

In the hall, there was silence for a moment.

Lin Ling, Chen Hongying, and Liu Xuemei, the three women chatted quite well.

Originally, this matter didn't have much to do with them, and it wasn't for them to change their surnames. They didn't care much about Chu Zhi's change of surname.

"Sister-in-law, you haven't come here very often recently. Are you busy with business?"

Lin Ling greeted casually.

Chen Hongying subconsciously shook her head, then nodded again, "Recently, the business has been pretty good. It's cold, and many people don't want to cook, so they steamed rice and went to the store to buy some braised pork for a makeshift meal."

"That's great, if you want me to like it too!" Liu Xuemei was genuinely envious.

If it wasn't for saving money, she would also like to eat stewed pork every day instead of having to work hard to buy vegetables.

In such a cold day, it's so uncomfortable to wash a dish casually, and your hands are freezing cold.

"By the way, sister-in-law, Erbao and the others will have midterm exams next week. Is it the same for your Jiaying and Jiarong?"

Chen Hongying frowned: "They didn't say it, maybe elementary school is a little later."

Liu Xuemei: "No, it's the same, just this week."

"They only take two exams, Chinese and mathematics, and it is estimated that they can finish it in one morning."

"yes."

Chen Hongying agreed, her face was not very good-looking.

Lin Ling felt that the atmosphere suddenly became weird, so he picked up a topic at random.

"Xuemei, Jiaxuan has only been in school for a short time, can he keep up with the progress of school?"

Speaking of this, Liu Xuemei's expression immediately became proud.

"It's definitely possible. He told me everything. He can understand the teacher's lectures. We taught him some of the content. Now he is learning very well, and the teacher likes him."

Lin Ling: "That's good, it seems that it's really the right gift."

It is a good thing that Chu Jiaxuan can keep up now, if it is delayed for a year, it will inevitably delay the child.

"Yeah, Jiaxuan's father and I both said it was the right gift. Fortunately, he convinced me at the time." Liu Xuemei felt ashamed when she thought that she didn't agree at the time. Fortunately, her son was good enough and the money was not wasted.

The two chatted for a while afterward about how the children were doing at school.

During this period, Chen Hongying was exceptionally silent, listening silently without saying a word.

Liu Xuemei also thanked Chu Jiaxuan. Normally, after school, the two of them had no time to pick them up. They would stay at Lin Ling's place first, doing homework and playing with Dabao and Erbao. Don't worry about going outside to play with other students to learn bad things... …

"They are brothers, they should be."

Lin Ling didn't think there was anything wrong with it, besides, Jiaxuan was also a smart kid, good at communicating and very likable.

Chen Hongying said abruptly: "Lin Ling, my Jiaying and Jiarong, can I let you stay here in the future?"

Lin Ling froze for a moment: "Yes!"

"However, you didn't say it before, are you worried about your child's midterm exam?"

Chen Hongying regretted it as soon as she opened her mouth. The third sibling was thanking Lin Ling for saying this, when she suddenly mentioned it, it seemed a bit like she was in a ring with someone.

Fortunately, Lin Ling made up for her.

"No!"

Chen Hongying couldn't help sighing when she thought of these things, "The two of them usually don't talk to me about school, they play with the nearby children after school, they rush to do their homework in the evening, they are late for several times, and they are almost late in the morning ..."

"That's not good..." Liu Xuemei agreed with her mouth, but she thought in her heart that it seems that she also needs to strengthen the management of her son, and she must not let him learn from the wild children nearby.

Although the conditions in the county are good, some people don’t like to let their children go to school early, thinking that it’s a waste of money. Others go to school but the adults in the family are busy making money, so they don’t care at all, and the children play like crazy after school. She watched I'm afraid, not to mention that my sister-in-law said that Jiaying was also taken away...

"Sister-in-law, you should talk to the child more when you have time, and you can also care about the child more at ordinary times." Lin Ling was speechless.

Fortunately, the two of her family are fine. Although Dabao and Erbao have their own tempers, they are not playful, and they are usually more obedient.

Chen Hongying nodded quickly.

Today's conversation with her two sisters-in-law made her feel very upset.

Not only is her own child not as temperamental as her brothers' two, but she also doesn't understand the child as well as Lin Ling and Liu Xuemei, which made her feel ashamed.

She has always felt that she is earning a lot of money and is already very good as a store manager. It is wrong to be immersed in this sense of accomplishment while ignoring the growth of the children.

"My Dabao and Erbao, I will ask them to do their homework after school. Dabao himself has a plan to practice calligraphy, and he will bring his younger brother along."

"I only allow them to play after finishing their homework. This is the same as our work. Only when we are busy can we have our own entertainment."

Chen Hongying couldn't help nodding: "That's right!"

"No wonder I always feel that something is wrong there. It is the student's responsibility to do homework!"

"Jiarong is better. There are not many girls playing with her there. The other girls are also strictly controlled by the family. She does her homework after school and even helps me."

"Jiaying can't do it anymore. When it was Pi's time, she was taken by a few older children and played like crazy every day. Fishing, picking up rocks, they all love to play, and they don't know where the fun is."

Lin Ling: ...

"Sister-in-law, you can take your children out on Saturdays and Sundays, and there are no people in the store. If the child likes fishing, go and experience it. Fishing real big fish, he will naturally not be interested in the small fish that children drop in the future. .”

She thinks it's quite normal. The child is in a curious moment at this time. After you have experienced anything, if you lose the veil of fantasy, you will naturally not be confused again.

"I listen to you!" Chen Hongying made up her mind to change.
