Chapter 36 - Starting School (3)
XingXing took a look, then he quickly turned his head and buried his face into Cheng Huan’s shoulder. With a particularly milky voice, he pleaded with her, “Mom, can I not go to school today?”
Of course he would go to school because mommy had said that he wouldn’t be able to make money if he didn’t go to school. He was just intimidated right now, but he would be back in a couple of days.
XingXing felt that he was still a good kid who loves to learn. He lifted his head and planted a kiss on Cheng Huan’s cheek. “Let’s go home, mom.”
“You wish!” Cheng Huan hrmphed and put him down. She poked him on his forehead and said, “The teachers like little kids who are on time. We have agreed that you will be starting school today. You will not be a good kid anymore if you are late.”
XingXing said dumbfounded, “But it was mom who said we are starting today.”
“That’s right, I did say that. Does XingXing want mommy to be a bad person who breaks her promises?” Cheng Huan immediately put on a wronged look.
“No! Mommy is not a bad person!” XingXing shook his head violently. He wrapped his arms around Cheng Huan’s legs. Looking very determined, he said, “I will go to school today!”
“Good boy,” said Cheng Huan as she leaned down and kissed him on his cheek.
Handing the child over to the teacher, Cheng Huan gave him another hug. Before she took off, she pointed at the watch on his hand and said, “You just click this button to talk to me when you miss mommy, okay?”
XingXing nodded and held the teacher’s hand as he reluctantly walked inside the kindergarten. He turned and waved at Cheng Huan on his way inside.
Cheng Huan stood at the same spot until XingXing was entirely out of sight.
She sighed and suppressed the little bit of tugging feeling in her heart. She still needed to prepare the ingredients for the night. Raising a child was very expensive. Six month’s tuition for XingXing was 20,000 yuan.
As much as she had been earning recently, it was still painful to pay that amount.
Cheng Huan energetically went to prepare the ingredients for the night. She had hired a helper already to help out on cleaning the vegetables and skewering the meats to lessen her load. Cheng Huan’s plan was to save up enough in a couple of months so she could rent a storefront. Then, she would be able to also hire a cook to help with the barbequing part and she would only need to marinate the meat and prepare the sauces.
Her plan motivated her a lot!
Cheng Huan was so busy that she didn’t even have time to eat lunch. Putting down the stuff in her hands, she looked up. It was already 11 AM.
She wondered how XingXing was doing at school. It should be lunch time already. This was the first day he was away from her, and Cheng Huan couldn't help but be a little worried.
What if he was hungry or thirsty or was bullied?
As though he could read her mind, XingXing’s call came right at the moment.
Cheng Huan picked up the call immediately. As soon as they were connected, XingXing could barely make out a “Mom” before he started crying.
“Wah, wah….”
