"In terms of normal behavior, Mengmeng can occasionally be a little more individual, but her overall performance in kindergarten in the past two years is still very good, and she is also very smart. She can do many things without being taught by our teachers."
"I believe she will be a good child after she reaches elementary school." Li Qiuling gave a fair evaluation.
In this regard, Cao Shujie also believes that his wife has put in a lot of effort into Mengmeng's education.
Mengmeng is different from other children. She went to kindergarten one year later than other children of the same age. In just two years, she has to go to first grade.
However, kindergartens without special education are just that, and most of the time they help take care of the children.
After ending the call with Li Qiuling, Cao Shujie told his wife that Mengmeng would go to elementary school after the summer vacation.
Cheng Xiaolin wanted to laugh when she heard her husband say that Li Qiuling said to Mengmeng, "Occasionally, she can be a bit more individual."
But she thinks there is no big problem with Mengmeng. She usually teaches Mengmeng herself and she knows Mengmeng’s current level.
There is absolutely no problem in learning addition, subtraction, spelling, and word recognition with first-grade children.
"She is old enough, let her go. Don't worry about this or that. Let her stay at home for the rest of her life." She was not worried at all.
Cao Shujie smiled, that was definitely impossible.
In the evening, Cao Shujie asked his daughter Mengmeng if she wanted to go to elementary school.
The little guy agreed happily and seemed a little impatient.
Ask her why?
As a result, the little guy told him that his friends in the kindergarten were too stupid and not fun.
These words made Cao Shujie burst into laughter.
"Dad, why are you laughing? Am I right?" Mengmeng was unhappy when she saw her father smiling, thinking that he was laughing at her.
Lying on dad's lap, raising his hands and feet, using dad's legs as a support to swing, amusing himself, having a great time.
…
As his wife's due date gets closer, Cao Shujie's mind is no longer on work.
At this time, he didn't care about the factory, the orchard, or the agricultural cooperative.
He spends most of his time at home, fearing that something unexpected might happen to his wife.
Fortunately, Mengmeng also behaved very well during this period. She was sent to the kindergarten by her grandparents every day and picked up after school.
Before you know it, the end of the month is here, and Mengmeng is entering her last summer vacation in kindergarten.
Cao Jianguo helped his granddaughter Mengmeng carry the notebooks, toys, and other sundries brought back from kindergarten.
There are quite a lot of cute things. After packing them up, I packed most of the boxes.
Mengmeng was carrying Princess Elsa's schoolbag in front of her, and she ran home with a bound.
Cao Jianguo was afraid that his granddaughter would fall, so he yelled for Mengmeng to run slower, but it was no use. Mengmeng didn't listen at all and ran even more vigorously.
"It's a holiday, I'm on a holiday!" Mengmeng shouted as she ran, as if she was afraid that others wouldn't know she was on holiday.
When people passing by or going to play in the mountains heard Mengmeng's shouting, they all seemed to feel Mengmeng's happiness from the bottom of their hearts, and they all started laughing.
She ran home in one breath. As soon as Mengmeng walked in, she shouted again: "Mom, I'm on vacation. I'm so happy."
Cheng Xiaolin was sitting on the sofa in the living room on the first floor. Seeing Mengmeng not running into the house, she took off her schoolbag and threw it at the door, then ran towards her mother.
Just when she was about to fall on top of Cheng Xiaolin, Mengmeng suddenly stopped again, twisted around, and sat on the empty space on the sofa next to her mother.
She looked at her mother's bulging belly and asked in a low voice: "Mom, when will you give birth?"
"It's almost time. Mom will be hospitalized in two days. Then you can follow grandma at home and be obedient, okay?" Cheng Xiaolin discussed with her daughter.
Mengmeng is sensible, but you cannot force her to do anything, otherwise she will also have a strong rebellious mentality.
Mengmeng was a little unhappy when her mother told her to stay at home. She hummed and said, "I want to see the baby too."
"You can see the mother and baby when they come back." Cheng Xiaolin reasoned with her.
But it doesn't make sense.
Mengmeng shook her head and said firmly: "Mom, I want to see the baby as soon as possible."
"Is that okay?" After saying that, Mengmeng still pulled Cheng Xiaolin's clothes and acted coquettishly.
This scene is commonplace when it happens to other children, but Mengmeng rarely acts like a spoiled child.
Cheng Xiaolin lost her temper when she said: "You can go and let grandpa drive you and grandma there when mom is about to give birth, but you can't be naughty after you go, you know?"
"Okay, okay!" Mengmeng shook her little head like a kowtowing insect and agreed.
"Also, when you go, be sure to wash your hands. Don't handle this or that. The baby has just been born and has no resistance at all. If your hands have a lot of bacteria, it will not be good for him.
"
Mengmeng looked at her hands. She forgot to wash her hands first when she got home.
"Mom, I'm going to wash my hands now." Mengmeng said.
Cao Jianguo came in from the back and saw his granddaughter's schoolbag thrown at the door. He first put down the box containing the things, then picked up the schoolbag on the ground with a smile, and patted the dust on it very carefully.
"Dad, you don't have to worry about it. Let Mengmeng clean it up later, otherwise she will still throw things around and this problem cannot be corrected." Cheng Xiaolin said to her father-in-law.
Cao Jianguo nodded: "Okay, let her work by herself next time."
"Where's Shujie?"
"He went shopping and will be back soon."
As Cao Shujie talked, he came back not long after, carrying a large bag of things in his hand, which was full of express packages that had just been mailed.
Cao Jianguo was puzzled: "Shujie, what did you get?"
"Dad, I asked them to buy some diapers and milk powder from abroad."
"Oh, is that enough? I can't buy more." Cao Jianguo said to him.
Cao Shujie nodded: "It's enough for now. I'll try which one is suitable first. Once I'm sure, I'll ask them to buy more for me."
"Well, don't worry about the money. I have some here. Ask your mother to get it for you later." Cao Jianguo also told his son.
Cao Shujie smiled, he has more money now.
As soon as he entered the house, Cao Shujie didn't see Mengmeng and asked his wife where Mengmeng had gone.
Then he heard his wife say that Mengmeng had gone upstairs to play.
…
Originally, he was planning to go out for dinner in a few days, but early the next morning, Cao Shujie drove his wife to Pingyuan County Hospital.
After arriving, Cao Shujie directly asked Yu Liping, director of the obstetrics department, to help arrange a single ward, and then conducted a series of prenatal examinations to confirm that there were no unexpected incidents. He was relieved.
Cheng Xiaolin also blamed her husband for being a little too nervous.
"Honey, you can't be too nervous at this time." Cao Shujie said.
Last night, he heard his wife say that her stomach hurt. Cao Shujie was frightened, so he thought about packing his things and coming over last night.
Cheng Xiaolin stopped him and said this was a normal situation and told him not to worry.
But don’t worry it’s a lie. This morning, Cao Shujie had to bring his wife to the hospital no matter what.
When Cheng Xiaolin gave birth to Mengmeng, she had a caesarean section, and this time she couldn't escape and had to be stabbed.
After the examination showed no problem, Cao Shujie went to discuss the time of caesarean section with Yu Liping, and told Yu Liping that his wife had found someone to calculate the date in advance, and the matter was settled.
The day before the surgery, his mother-in-law Li Xiaojuan came alone.
Cao Shujie also knew that he was really busy at home, and there was nothing he could do about it.
Li Xiaojuan kept asking questions after she came over, and she was also very nervous.
Cheng Xiaolin personally comforted her mother that she was fine, and told her mother that the surgeon in charge this time was the director of the obstetrics department and was no worse than the doctors in big hospitals.
After listening to this, Li Xiaojuan felt relieved.
However, Cheng Xiaolin was careful and noticed something was wrong with the expression on her mother's face, so she asked her what happened.
Li Xiaojuan didn’t say anything either.
Cheng Xiaolin wondered, maybe something happened at home again?
After Cao Shujie came back from the outside, he also noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the ward and asked what happened to his wife.
Cheng Xiaolin pointed to her mother, pouted and said, "I don't know either, my mother won't tell me."
When Cao Shujie asked, Li Xiaojuan sighed and said that her son and daughter-in-law were quarreling and were getting divorced.
Hearing the word 'divorce', Cao Shujie felt a stomach ache. He had just had a good few days, what was going on?
In my memory, there was no divorce between his brother-in-law and his wife, right?
Is it possible that they feel that life is so good now that they have to make some splash?
Or when life gets better, do you have to abandon your lousy wife?
After asking more carefully, Cao Shujie found out that his brother-in-law had lost a lot of money by trading in the stock market some time ago.
This kid kept it secret at first and didn't dare to mention it to his family.
But their cattle farm had to wait for money to buy calves. Cheng Yunping found that he couldn't hide this matter, so he confessed to his wife and paid a large sum of money.
Then Cheng Yunping and his wife Liu Yingying had the most serious quarrel since their marriage.
When her mother said that her younger brother was trading in stocks, Cheng Xiaolin subconsciously looked at her husband.
Then she looked at her mother: "Mom, Yunping, does he know how to trade stocks? He doesn't know anything and just keeps jumping in. I'm really convinced."
Perhaps because she was too excited, Cheng Xiaolin felt a little pain in her stomach.
Cao Shujie quickly comforted his wife.
Then he asked his mother-in-law: "Mom, when did Yunping start trading in stocks?"
Li Xiaojuan recalled it carefully and then said: "He said it was last month. He made a lot of money at the beginning, but he lost it this month."
"Didn't he join the Chinese army in 1949?" Cao Shujie complained in his heart after hearing this.
The circuit breaker mechanism just introduced in the middle of this month ended all-day trading in just ten minutes.
What did his brother-in-law think when he started trading stocks at this time?
Besides, even if his brother-in-law is a newbie and doesn't know about circuit breakers, the market index is almost 5,000 points, and has risen by more than 3,000 points from the lowest point. How dare he rush in?
