Raising Babies in the 70s - Chapter 106

Zhou Menglan was a nurse. That year, she followed the army to the island. Once she arrived on the island, she felt uncomfortable. Originally, her mother-in-law was going to come with her. Who knew that before she left, her mother-in-law wanted to force her to have a second child. She was unwilling to come to help with the child if she did not give birth.

Zhou Menglan didn’t raise the child at first. Her mother-in-law raised the child.

In fact, she just couldn’t stand it, as her mother-in-law was sloppy. But she couldn’t argue, as she didn’t want to quarrel with her at home.

Her mother-in-law’s way of taking care of the child was unbearable for her, a medical and nursing student, but she had no choice. She still had to go to work, so she could only give the child to her mother-in-law.

Now that she was on the island, when she heard that the woman wouldn’t come, Zhou Menglan was overjoyed. No way would she give birth to a second child for her. After giving birth, would she let her raise it? Impossible.

However, there was no one to take the four-year-old child, which was indeed a problem. Fortunately, there was a kindergarten there. She heard that it was good, so Zhou Menglan planned to send the child to kindergarten.

She had wanted to send her child to kindergarten for a long time, but her mother-in-law didn’t agree. Now that her mother-in-law was gone, she could finally send him.

However, the child was raised by her mother-in-law, so he did not want to go to kindergarten. As soon as she said he would go to the kindergarten, he cried like a pig that was killed at the door of the family’s courtyard.

This four-year-old brat, Lin Yaoyang, had a really loud voice. It was okay to cry, but he was still crying while hugging the guard’s thigh. When the young soldier stood still, he hugged his thigh and didn’t let go.

He was also very smart, knowing that instead of hugging his own mother, he would hug someone else’s thigh.

“Woo… I won’t go in, I don’t want to…”

“Uncle! Help! They’re going to sell me…”

“Woo, ah, oh…” Lin Yaoyang’s face was full of tears and snots, which made a lot of watermarks on the man’s military pants.

Brother Bing: “…”

Zhou Menglan: “…”

“Don’t cry.”

Zhou Menglan’s scalp was numb. She was really embarrassed, but she seldom looked after the child before, and she didn’t know how to coax him. At a loss, she could only look at Brother Bing with anticipation.

Brother Bing: “…”

“Let go, let go, don’t hold my leg.”

“Wooo, wooo!!!”

“Uncle help!!!!”

At that moment, Qin Rou also came in time to send the two childrens to kindergarten. Chen Jingyi had been going to that kindergarten, and Xia Mingxi was recently sent to kindergarten.

Qin Rou noticed the child crying while hugging the soldier’s thigh, and knew he didn’t want to go to kindergarten.

Zhou Menglan also turned her head to see Qin Rou. She couldn’t help but look at Qin Rou more. First, she thought that this young girl was too beautiful. Second, as a nurse, she could naturally see that Qin Rou was pregnant for some months. She then looked down at the two little boys beside Qin Rou.

The two little boys wore green hats and looked extremely cute. One of them was chubby, and the other had big black eyes. They were both handsome and cute.

Zhou Menglan’s gaze stopped on Qin Rou’s stomach, and then she looked at the two children, and she immediately showed a stunned look. This woman was amazing. She was so beautiful, and could raise three kids.

She smiled a little embarrassedly, “My child doesn’t want to go to kindergarten.”

Little Fatty replied first, “Is there anyone who doesn’t want to go to kindergarten?”

Qin Rou: “…”

“Have you ever played eagle catching chickens?”

“Ouch, ooh, I like being an eagle the most.”

…

Little Fatty’s words were like a laser gun, babbling, and the mother and son were stunned for a while, and even Lin Yaoyang (son) couldn’t care about hugging someone’s thigh. 

He let go.

The soldier who finally escaped the claws stopped being a sculpture, and then happily changed with a newcomer, “It’s time to change shift.”

The job was not good in the colony, and they would meet many strange children. 

“Are you going to kindergarten?” Lin Yaoyang couldn’t believe it. His grandmother said that there were old witches who ate people in the kindergarten. The old witch thought about how to eat children every day. The old witch also raised snakes in the school, hissing…

“I’m going to see Teacher Guagua.” Xia Mingxi said very seriously, “I like kindergarten the most!”

Because there were so many people in kindergarten, the little fatty liked the lively place. He liked to make small playmates of the same age, and he had good friends in a lot of places.

“Honghong said he will bring Huihui to show me.”

Lin Yaoyang asked curiously, “Who is Huihui?”

Little Fatty was about to speak, but Chen Jingyi next to him had a sullen face and tugged at the little fat man, his voice was small and cute, “Let’s go!”

“Go to kindergarten.”

“Let’s go!!!”
