Transmigrated into a Biological Mother of a Villains in 1970 Chapter 176

After lunch, Erbao was at home cleaning up the dishes while Ning Shu and Lin Guodong went to peel peaches.

Lin Guodong was quite good at peeling peaches with a knife and did it quickly.

However, there were a lot of wild peaches to peel, and it was too much work for Lin Guodong alone.

So, Ning Shu borrowed a kitchen knife from Grandma Yang’s house, and the couple worked together.

Ning Shu was slower at peeling because she was afraid of cutting her hand. Seeing this, Lin Guodong said, “Leave it to me, I’ll do it.”

Ning Shu replied, “I’ll take my time.”

They had about 10 pounds of wild peaches.

These peaches were small, with four peaches making up a pound, so they had around 40 peaches.

Working together, they finished in less than an hour.

After peeling the peaches, they removed the pits and cut the peaches into pieces, then put them in a pot to cook.

Peaches need to be cooked until they are very soft, which takes time.

While the peaches were still cooking, the dried bayberries were already done.

When Ning Shu took the cooked dried bayberries out of the pot, Erbao and Yibao watched closely, smelling the sweet aroma.

Yibao asked, “Mom, once these are dried, will they become dried bayberries?”

Ning Shu answered, “Yes, dried bayberries can be stored for a long time and can be eaten as snacks. But be careful when eating them; don’t let the pits get stuck in your throat.”

Although the wild bayberries were small and the risk of choking on the pits was low, Ning Shu still warned her two children.

Erbao said, “Mom, I can swallow several of these pits without choking.”

Ning Shu gave him a stern look, “Will you listen to me?”

Erbao grinned, “Of course, I’m the best-behaved child.”

They spread out the cooked bayberries on a drying mat.

It was the perfect time for drying food because the sun was hot, and things dried quickly.

Fortunately, they had drying mats at home, originally for drying bamboo shoots, which came in handy now.

By the time the bayberries were drying, the peaches were also cooked.

Ning Shu took out the empty fruit cans.

They had many empty fruit cans at home, perfect for storing the cooked peaches.

However, the freshly cooked peaches were still very hot with sugar water, so they couldn’t be put in the glass jars yet and had to cool in the pot first.

The sugar water peaches took a while to cool down.

Seeing the eager looks on her children’s faces, Ning Shu put some in a bowl and placed it in the fridge.

She told her children, “Wait for the sugar water peaches to cool down before eating them. Mom is going to work now.”

Sanbao nodded.

This summer, the children had more snacks than in previous years.

Although they had to spend time every day learning pinyin and writing sugarcane observation diaries, their days were very happy.

One day, their happiness reached its peak when they saw the sugarcane sprouting.

“Mom, the sugarcane sprouted… Mom…” Erbao’s shout was loud enough to be heard throughout the housing compound.

The sugarcane sprouted, so Ning Shu took her three children to plant the sugarcane in the old vegetable garden.

Sugarcane is not picky about soil, so if you can grow vegetables, you can grow sugarcane.

They quickly planted the sugarcane, putting one seedling in each hole.

With the sugarcane planted, Erbao’s attention shifted from popsicles, peach cans, and dried bayberries to the sugarcane.

However, they were destined to be disappointed because the sugarcane didn’t mature before school started.

Ning Shu asked again, unsure, “Yibao, Erbao and Sanbao, are you sure you want to go register for school by yourselves without me?”

Yibao nodded, “Mom, we’re big kids now. We can register ourselves.”

Erbao and Sanbao also nodded, “Mom, we’re familiar with the school.”

“We can handle it.”

Ning Shu said, “Alright then, go register yourselves. Remember to give the tuition to the teacher and get the change. Also, ask the teacher to buy two more sets of first-grade books.”

She handed them five yuan, which was enough for their tuition and books.

They had already bought one set of books, so two more sets would be sufficient.

At that time, tuition and book fees were separate.

You had to pay the tuition, but book fees were optional.

Some families saved money by passing down books from older siblings to younger ones.

“Got it,” Yibao said as he took the five yuan and put it in the money pouch in his backpack.

“Mom, we’re leaving,” Erbao called out again, and they happily left the house.

Ning Shu stood at the door watching them leave.

She suddenly realized that her children were growing up.

Before they started elementary school, she always thought of them as little kids.

But today, as they started school, she felt they had grown up.

From little kids to big kids, and soon they would become teenagers and young adults.

She felt they were slowly growing up and gradually moving away from her.

Deep down, she felt reluctant but also happy.

It was a complicated feeling, probably one that only mothers experience.

Yibao , Erbao and Sanbao arrived at the elementary school but didn’t go in immediately.

They had agreed to meet He Jiaxing, Yang Wenjie, and Cheng Yingyong at the school gate and go in together.

As they waited at the gate, a few other kids arrived.

Seeing Yibao , Erbao and Sanbao at the gate, everyone greeted them warmly.

They all knew each other from kindergarten.

“Twins, why aren’t you going in to register?”

Yibao said, “We’re waiting for He Jiaxing and the others.”

“Twins, isn’t Lin Haiyang only five years old this year? Can he start first grade already?”

Erbao replied, “Yes, he can. Our Sanbao is very well-behaved and won’t disrupt the class. The teacher said he could start elementary school.”

“Wow, then Lin Haiyang must be the youngest first grader.”

“Yeah, Lin Haiyang is still just a little kid.”

To these children over eight years old, five-year-old Erbao was indeed considered a little kid.

Many kids don’t like being called little kids; they prefer to be seen as big kids.

But not Sanbao—he liked being a little kid and didn’t mind others calling him that.

Little kids could sleep with their mom and be spoiled, while big kids couldn’t.

Being a little kid was better than being a big kid.

So, Sanbao preferred being a little kid.

However, he didn’t tell anyone about this, not even his two older brothers.

Although the three brothers were very close, Sanbao wanted to remain his mom’s baby.

“Lin Haizhi…”

“Lin Hairui…”

“Lin Haiyang…”

Before long, He Jiaxing, Yang Wenjie, and Cheng Yingyong arrived.

Erbao said, “You guys are so slow. Let’s go register quickly.”

He Jiaxing responded, “We don’t know which first-grade class we’ll be in. Will we be together?”

Yibao replied, “We don’t know. Let’s go find out.”

In the school, the kindergarten had the most students.

There were four classes in kindergarten, but in first grade, there were fewer.

Some kids who weren’t yet eight stayed in kindergarten, while those who turned eight early moved up to first grade.

Therefore, kindergarten always had four classes, but other grades didn’t.

The group of six walked into the elementary school building and heard a teacher calling out, “New students, come here… New students, come here…”

They saw two tables with two teachers sitting there, and other children were registering.

Some kids came alone, some with their parents, and others with older siblings.

Seeing this, Yibao and his friends ran over.

“Teacher, we are new students,” they said.

“Teacher, we’re new students. What do we do here?” the kids asked when it was their turn.

The teacher replied, “Did you attend kindergarten here, or are you coming straight to elementary school? If you were in kindergarten here, your class has already been assigned. If you’re new to the elementary school, you’ll need to register and be assigned to a class.”

Yibao spoke up, “Teacher…”

The teacher smiled warmly, already aware that the twins had come from the kindergarten. “I know you. What are your names?”

The twins were well-known in the housing complex, so the teacher couldn’t miss them.

Yibao said, “Hello, teacher. My name is Lin Haizhi.”

Erbao followed, “Hello, teacher. My name is Lin Huirui.”

Sanbao added, “Hello, teacher. My name is Lin Haiyang.”

He Jiaxing chimed in, “Hello, teacher. My name is He Jiaxing.”

Yang Wenjie said, “Hello, teacher. My name is Yang Wenjie.”

Cheng Yingyong added, “Hello, teacher. My name is Cheng Yingyong.”

After giving their names, the six children asked together, “Teacher, are we all in the same first-grade class?”

“If we’re not in the same class, can we be reassigned to the same class?” they pleaded, not wanting to be separated.

Understanding their wish to stay together, the teacher maintained her kind smile and explained, “You were in the same class in kindergarten, so you will likely stay together in elementary school, middle school, and high school. If you’re not in the same class, you can request to be.”

This approach helps kids integrate better into their new environment.

The teacher continued, “Lin Haizhi, Lin Huirui… you six are in first grade, class 2. Class 2 is over there,” she pointed to the classroom’s location.

“If you’re registering by yourselves, remember to prepare the tuition and book fees. The tuition is XXX, and the book fee is XXX. If you don’t need books, you can skip the book fee.”

Seeing that the children were unaccompanied, the teacher carefully explained the fees.

Many kids like them were registering without parents, as they grew up in the area and were well-known.

“Got it. Thank you, teacher.”

“Goodbye, teacher.”

The six kids ran towards the first grade, class 2.

Class 2 already had quite a few new students.

When Yibao and his friends entered, some kids greeted them, “Twins!”

“Wow, the twins are in our class.”

“That’s great!”

These greetings came from kids who had been in the same kindergarten class as the twins, some from class 3 and others from different classes.

Unconsciously, they felt happy to be in the same class as the twins.
