Chapter 614 - Its Not a Woman, Is it? (1/2)
Little Swarthy brought roses over again.
Xia Ruoxin left the two little guys to play in the room while she went to the kitchen to make rose cookies for them. For lunch, she made dumplings for Amy's parents.
”Thanks for all going to all the trouble.” Madam Mei Fu thanked Xia Ruoxin as she took over her doctor. ”Thank you for helping me to take care of Little Amy.”
”You're welcome.” Xia Ruoxin patted her daughter's head, and she held her hand. ”I should be thanking you and Little Amy for coming over to play with Rainy. Otherwise, I'm afraid this child won't talk much.”
”Oh, right, Ruo,” Madam Mei Fu said as if recalling something. ”Do you want to send Rainy to school? She could go together with Amy. Rainy's speaking abilities have reached a conversational level. I have a relative who's working there; plus, my little one will be there, too. Everything will be fine.”
”Let me think about it,” Xia Ruoxin said as she held her daughter's tiny hands. She knew that it was time for her Rainy to go to school, given that she was four. Then again, they were abroad, and she was afraid it would be hard for the child to take it.
If Gao Yi were here, he would be able to give her some advice. Right now, she was all alone.
…
Summer's Not Over, ”I want to send my daughter to school.”
A Sunny Day will Come, ”It's about time. I remember she's about four years old, right?”
Summer's Not Over, ”Yeah, she's turning four next month.”
A Sunny Day will Come, ”Are you worried about the language barrier, or are you worried that the child won't take it well?”
Summer's Not Over, ”Both.”
A Sunny Day will Come, ”Trust me, children adapt a lot better than you can imagine. When I was three, I lived abroad with my parents for a while as well. I went through the same thing, but my parents decided to enroll me in the kindergarten there, too. All I did was nod or shake my head back then, and I didn't talk much.”
Summer's Not Over, ”Are they trying to force a prodigy out of you?”
A Sunny Day will Come, ”No, they just thought that I was a third wheel that got in the way of their alone time. So don't worry, children interact differently than a.d.u.l.ts. The education system there is different, too. You won't have a.d.u.l.ts pointing at a child and saying things like 'look, that bastard child is so pretty'.”
Xia Ruoxin choked on the water that she was drinking when she saw the phrase.
She had a feeling that 'A Sunny Day will Come' that was a little strict. He would have a routine lifestyle, a nine-to-five job. He would work overtime occasionally, sleep at ten… wake up at eight. He would be the kind of person whose works sounded like bad jokes.
However, she really had to take 'A Sunny Day will Come's suggestion into consideration. After all, the children's world was different from that of a.d.u.l.ts, as were their habits.
Let's give it a go. She decided to send her little girl to school as she gnawed on her cup. It was a good idea to send her daughter for formal education. Or else, who knew what her daughter would become.
…
Madam Mei Fu had always been efficient. She gave Xia Ruoxin a kiss when she came by the next day and heard that the latter had agreed. Xia Ruoxin touched her hand awkwardly. Did I just get taken advantage of by a woman?
