One day later, Ning Shu received a reply from the head of the nursery.

Just after lunch that day, Lin Guodong took four children along with Da Mao and Tie Dan to wash dishes.

Ning Shu stood against the wall at home, and then saw the head of the nursery arrive.

“Ning Shu, have you had lunch?” The head of the nursery smiled as she walked into the yard.

“You’re here, please come in and have a seat,” Ning Shu said, quickly fetching a chair.

“No need, no need. I’ve brought good news for you. The nursery has been granted a teaching position, so you can start teaching anytime you want. When do you plan to start?” The head of the nursery stated her purpose directly.

People in this era were quite straightforward.

Ning Shu thought for a moment. “How about next month?”

The head of the nursery replied, “Next month is already the Lunar New Year.”

Ning Shu realized it was indeed almost New Year’s. “Then how about starting tomorrow?”

The head of the nursery nodded in satisfaction.

She hadn’t misjudged Ning Shu. “Welcome to the nursery tomorrow. I’ll inform the head teachers of the four classes. How would you like to schedule your classes?”

Ning Shu replied, “I’ll teach each class once a day from Monday to Thursday this week, starting from Class 1. Does that work for you?”

The head of the nursery said, “No problem. Arrange things as you see fit. If you need any materials, apply in advance, and I’ll see what I can arrange. But not all materials can be provided.”

Ning Shu replied, “I understand. Thank you.”

The head of the nursery didn’t say much more. “Then I’ll take my leave. Looking forward to seeing you at the nursery tomorrow.”

Ning Shu said, “Let me walk you out. See you tomorrow.”

After seeing the head of the nursery off at the door, with the dishwashing team not yet returned, Ning Shu continued standing there, thinking about how to conduct her classes tomorrow.

She was familiar with the nursery’s curriculum since her own children attended there, so she would ask.

Thus, she knew that in this era, nurseries were more like daycare centers rather than modern kindergartens.

In other words, they didn’t teach formal classroom subjects.

So, what would she, as the teacher assigned to teach one class per week, teach?

Ning Shu pondered for a moment and came up with an idea.

Even if it wasn’t a formal classroom subject, she still wanted to teach something meaningful.

Although she didn’t particularly enjoy teaching, passing the time with one class per week didn’t sound too bad.

Once she had an idea in mind, Ning Shu decided to start preparing in the afternoon.

As for the matter of becoming a teacher at the nursery, Ning Shu didn’t plan to tell the children at home.

They would find out tomorrow when she went to the nursery.

Meeting them naturally brought surprises.

For some reason, the thought of the children’s surprised expressions gave Ning Shu a sense of accomplishment.

However, when it was time to sleep at night, Ning Shu still told Lin Guodong.

Upon hearing that Ning Shu was going to the nursery to teach, one class per day, four days a week, Lin Guodong was quite surprised.

But he didn’t ask much.

The next day at noon, after the children had lunch and finished their household chores, they held hands and went to school.

Seeing this, Ning Shu followed along.

Usually, the children went to the nursery by themselves, so today when Mom followed, they couldn’t help but look at her several times.

Finally, Er Bao couldn’t help but ask, “Mom, are you going out?”

Er Bao didn’t think Mom was going to the nursery with them.

But from what he heard, Er Bao thought Mom was going out.

Ning Shu said, “No, I’m going to your nursery.”

“What?” Hearing her words, Yi Bao was stunned.

Er Bao asked, “Mom, are you going to play at the nursery?”

Ning Shu: “…”

Did Er Bao only see her as a three-year-old who would go to the nursery to play?

“I have business to attend to.”

Er Bao asked, “What business?”

Yi Bao and Hai Cai were also curious, looking at Ning Shu, waiting for her to explain.

But Ning Shu wouldn’t tell them.

“It’s a secret, I won’t tell you.”

Er Bao’s eyes lit up with a silly smile. “Mom, tell me, I’m a big kid now, not like Sanbao a three-year-old. I can keep secrets.”

Ning Shu: “…” Could it be said like this?

Yi Bao nodded in agreement. “Mom, except for San Bao, we’re all big kids now, we can keep secrets too.”

Hai Cai chimed in, “Auntie, I’m a big kid too, I won’t tell anyone outside.”

San Bao, seeing the three excluding him, though he didn’t quite understand, felt anxious.

So, he patted his little chest and said, “San Bao will be good and won’t tell, won’t tell.”

His little head kept nodding and shaming, showing his determination to keep the secret.

Ning Shu looked at San Bao’s eager expression and couldn’t help but chuckle.

She ruffled San Bao’s hair, then said to the kids, “No, secrets are secrets, even big kids can’t tell.”

“Okay then,” Er Bao sighed, realizing Mom had secrets too.

When they arrived at the nursery, the four children watched curiously as Ning Shu went to the teacher’s office.

They were all clever kids.

Once they saw Ning Shu enter the office and couldn’t see them anymore, they started to secretly follow her and then eavesdropped at the door.

“What are you twins doing here?” a child passing by asked curiously.

Yi Bao quickly straightened up, feeling a bit guilty, as if they had done something wrong.

But Er Bao turned and ran, saying as he ran, “Quick, let’s go, Mom will come out soon.”

Right, if Mom saw them here, they’d get caught.

Yi Bao realized this and grabbed San Bao, running off, with Hai Cai following beside him.

He was used to looking after San Bao with Yi Bao.

The questioning child was a bit puzzled to see them run.

He looked at the office door, then back at the twins.

However, after being disturbed like this, the children dared not eavesdrop anymore, afraid someone might suddenly come.

So they stayed by the classroom door, watching the office door.

But they watched and watched until the bell rang for class, and Ning Shu came out of the office.

As soon as they saw Ning Shu come out, the four children hurried into the classroom.

At the same time, they also looked at the window.

Ning Shu walked past Class 3’s classroom door, accompanied by the head teacher of Class 1, who was taking her to get to know the children in Class 1.

However, as she passed by Class 3, she glanced inside through the window and met the eyes of the four kids.

Ning Shu smiled at them.

Er Bao tugged at Yi Bao’s clothes and whispered, “Brother, I know Mom’s secret.”

Yi Bao widened his eyes. “What secret?”

Hai Cai also leaned over quietly, wanting to hear what secret Er Bao knew about Auntie.

Er Bao said, “Maybe Mom is also going to school at the nursery, but because she’s an adult, she’s embarrassed to say it, so she keeps quiet.”

“What? Why would Mom go to school at the nursery?” Yi Bao didn’t understand Er Bao’s train of thought and didn’t know where this idea came from.

Hai Cai thought Er Bao’s idea was wrong.

That couldn’t be Third Aunt’s secret, but he didn’t know how to argue against it.

Er Bao puffed his chest and said confidently, “That’s the teacher from Class 1. If Mom wasn’t going to school at the nursery, why would she be walking with the teacher from Class 1?”

Yi Bao blinked. “Anyway, she definitely isn’t going to school. Adults don’t go to nursery schools.”

Hai Cai agreed with Yi Bao. “I think Yi Bao makes sense. Third Auntie is so capable, she definitely wouldn’t go to school.”

Er Bao saw them all disagreeing, so he didn’t have any more ideas.

“Okay…”

Then, he had another idea.

“Brother, when it’s time for class, can I pretend to need to pee and then go to Class 1 to take a look? and ask teacher?”

Yi Bao nodded.

“Sure, I’ll ask. What question do you want me to ask?” Yi Bao offered.

Er Bao replied, “Ask the teacher if adults can come to the nursery to study.”

Yi Bao nodded. “Okay, I got it. I’ll ask later.”

Teacher Jiang came in while the two brothers were whispering.

“Students…”

She was about to speak when she heard someone stand up.

“Teacher…” Er Bao, with a serious expression, stood up, “Teacher, I really need to pee, can I go to the bathroom?”

Er Bao usually behaved well, and besides, kids couldn’t hold their pee.

What if he wet his pants?

So Teacher Jiang didn’t suspect he was lying.

She quickly said, “Sure, go quickly. Don’t wet your pants.”

“Okay…” Er Bao responded and got up from his seat, then dashed out.

The nursery’s bathroom was on the way to Class 1.

As Er Bao passed by Class 1, he saw his mom sitting in a chair next to the teacher’s desk.

Er Bao was stunned, so stunned that he almost forgot to keep walking.

He quickly retraced his steps, forgetting about the bathroom, and hurried back to his own classroom.

Teacher Jiang was somewhat surprised by how quickly Er Bao returned from the bathroom.

Was he really that fast? So she asked, “Er Bao, did you already go to the bathroom?”

Could this kid have peed along the way?

How else could he return so quickly?

Er Bao’s head was still a bit foggy, not yet fully recovered from seeing his mom.

When he heard Teacher Jiang’s question, he paused for a moment before slowly replying, “Teacher, I didn’t need to go anymore, so I came back.”

Teacher Jiang: “… Kids and their bladder control.”

Meanwhile, Ning Shu in Class 1 had no idea that Er Bao had seen her.

With the introduction from the Class 1 teacher, she began her class with the children.

“Good afternoon, everyone,” Ning Shu greeted the children with a smile. “My name is Ning Shu, and I’ll be your teacher for this afternoon’s first class every Monday. It’s nice to meet you all.”

“I know you…” one child spoke up. “You’re the twins’ mom.”

“I’ve seen you before.”

“Me too…”

Several children in Class 1 recognized Ning Shu.

Ning Shu was a bit surprised.

She hadn’t realized she had become famous too.

No, she hadn’t expected Yi Bao and Er Bao to be so well-known among the children, making her the famous mom. “Yes, you all have good memories. I am indeed the twins’ mom. Now, I want to ask you, do you know about the turtle and the rabbit?”
