Chapter 121: Chapter 121: Going to School Together

Yu Kai was just over five years old this year, so he didn’t quite understand what was being said.

“If you go to school, does that mean you can’t play anymore? Big brother, maybe you shouldn’t go to school then. That way, we can play together every day!”

Yu Jiang and Yu Hai had just reached the doorway when they overheard this.

Yu Hai immediately burst out laughing, while Yu Jiang’s face darkened. “Yu Kai! What did you just say?!”

Hearing this, Yu Kai looked up and saw Yu Jiang’s stern face. He was so startled that he plopped down on the ground. “Dad…”

Yu Jiang fixed his gaze on Yu Kai. “You’re going to school with your brother. I’ll go talk to your grandma about it right now.”

With that, Yu Jiang ignored Yu Kai, strode into the house with his long legs, and disappeared inside.

Yu Hai followed behind, laughing heartily, not caring at all about the look of utter despair on his two little nephews’ faces.

Yu Kai looked at Yu Wei, almost in tears. “Big brother, I have to go to school too. I won’t be able to play anymore either!”

Yu Wei looked at Yu Kai’s scrunched-up little face and suddenly felt much better. “It’s okay. We haven’t started school yet, right? We can still play now. Come on, let’s go!”

——

Yu Jiang strode into the courtyard and, before he even reached the middle, called out loudly for his mother.

Xu Shuhua, who had just finished wiping Yu Nuannuan’s hands and face, was so startled by the shout that her hand trembled and she nearly dropped the towel.

She frowned and walked quickly to the door. “What are you yelling for?”

Yu Jiang grinned sheepishly. “I wasn’t yelling for nothing. I was calling for you, Mom!”

Xu Shuhua: “……”

Forget it. Why bother arguing with this silly son?

“How did you two get back so quickly? What did you find out?”

When Xu Shuhua asked, Yu Jiang looked over at Yu Hai. “Fourth, you tell her.”

Yu Hai nodded. “Come on, let’s go inside and talk.”

Once inside, it was much cooler. Yu Hai drank a bowl of cool boiled water, wiped his mouth, and finally explained.

“We went to the county’s First Elementary School to ask. They said it’s possible to enroll there, but you need a county household registration. If you don’t have it, you have to take an entrance exam. If you pass, you can attend, but you have to pay a transfer fee.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Shuhua frowned.

The transfer fee wasn’t a big deal, but the exam was!

Yu Wei could barely count—how was he supposed to take an exam?

Seeing Chen Qiaoqin frowning and silent, Yu Jiang guessed what she was thinking.

“How about just letting them go to our village elementary school? All the village kids go there anyway.”

Yu Jiang didn’t think it mattered—what difference did it make where they went to elementary school?

Since even Yu Jiang, the father, said so, Xu Shuhua couldn’t object. “That’s fine. It’s close to home, which is good.”

Seeing that Xu Shuhua agreed, Yu Jiang quickly brought up Yu Kai. “Mom, the second one is over five now and is getting mischievous at home. Why not let him go to school too? He can go with Wei, and they can look out for each other. It’ll be less likely for them to get bullied.”

The students at Sanliqiao Elementary weren’t just from Sanliqiao village, but also from several nearby villages.

Not all kids were friendly—there were conflicts and cliques.

Having brothers together meant they could look out for each other and were less likely to be bullied.

Xu Shuhua didn’t mind paying another tuition fee. She thought for a moment and said, “If we’re sending the second one, let’s send the third and fourth as well. They’re all about the same age.”

The third and fourth were Yu He’s two sons, Yu Yong and Yu Jie."
