Reborn as a Tough Army Wife-Chapter 846: Extra Story 3

Actually, speaking of Fang Ping'an and Li Yuchun, although the two of them had some misunderstandings before, always thinking Fang Pingying wasn't their biological daughter, they feared that when they got older, Fang Pingying wouldn't be as filial as a biological daughter might be, which made them always calculative when doing things.

But they were smart in that no matter the circumstances, they knew to be content, to be grateful, and to treat people sincerely after seeing the truth of things clearly.

During the time they spent in the city, they genuinely realized that even though Fang Pingying was their adopted daughter, and they might have treated her and Fang Xiu differently when they were in the countryside, Fang Pingying didn't mind these things and always remembered their kindness in raising her. She regarded them as her biological parents, and even after meeting her birth mother, she led her birth mother Li Aihua to be grateful to them as well, helping their family in many ways.

What more could they ask from such a daughter? She's probably better than a biological daughter a thousand times over.

Therefore, they truly realized, little by little, that sometimes blood ties aren't that important; instead, real emotions are genuine and cannot be erased.

It is because of this awareness that even though from the outside it might have seemed they wouldn't have a good old age, they ended up being able to enjoy their later years peacefully, unlike Zhou Yunmei, who, despite being blessed, had an extremely difficult old age.

Of course, Zhou Yunmei's difficult old age started after she got out of prison.

Yaoyao and a few little rascals went in to discuss for a while and came out agreeing to go to kindergarten, but Yaoyao had one condition: Luo Zhiyong must take them to kindergarten every day, or she wouldn't agree.

This wasn't really a big demand, so Luo Zhiyong and Fang Pingying immediately agreed.

In the next few days, Fang Pingying didn't go to work temporarily and took the little ones out to play every day, buying some things. Although it was just kindergarten, there was surprisingly little they needed to buy.

Stuff like little backpacks and necessary stationery had to be bought, and indeed they had to buy all these three times over.

Finally, the day for the little ones to start school quickly arrived, but because they were dawdling at home, they ended up leaving late and hadn't even left the house.

Fang Pingying, on the other hand, had a weekly meeting at the supermarket that she had to preside over and couldn't miss. With no option, she left the car to Luo Zhiyong and the little ones going to school and rented a car to go to work herself.

Since Fang Pingying was normally stricter with the little ones, they were rather happy to see her not around.

The group, carrying small backpacks, lined up to get into the car, taken by Luo Zhiyong to school, chattering with curiosity all the way about going to school.

As they were nearing school, Yaoyao glanced out the window, saw something unknown, and immediately shouted to Luo Zhiyong, "Dad, stop the car, stop the car."

Thinking something was up as her voice sounded urgent, Luo Zhiyong slowed down and asked, "What's the matter?"

"There's an ice cream stand over there," Yaoyao said, pointing outside.

Upon hearing this, Luo Zhiyong reflexively laughed and asked, "Yaoyao, do you want to eat ice cream?"

"Yes," Yaoyao said and secretly signaled to the other two little ones, who quickly joined in, demanding ice cream too.

"Daddy will go buy it," Luo Zhiyong thought, about to stop the car, when he suddenly remembered it was early in the morning and that Fang Pingying had instructed him not to buy snacks like ice cream so early, as it could easily cause a stomach upset.

So, Luo Zhiyong instantly refused, "No, Mom said no ice cream early in the morning. After school, when you come back home, let Grandma and Grandpa buy it for you."

When Yaoyao heard this, she immediately pouted and pleaded, "Dad, I really want to eat now, or I won't even have the energy to go to school today."

Though Luo Zhiyong spoiled them, he was firm on matters affecting health, "Eating ice cream early will give you an upset stomach. I'll tell Grandma and Grandpa in the afternoon to definitely buy some for you."

Seeing Luo Zhiyong remain firm, Yaoyao said nothing more, just pouting as they went the rest of the way to school.

At the school gate, teachers were there to welcome them.

As it was the first day of kindergarten for many, some children being dropped off by parents would cling onto their parents' hands, wailing unwillingly.

Initially, Yaoyao and her group were okay because they had agreed with Fang Pingying at home to be good, go to school, and return home for rewards from Grandma—school seemed like fun to them, interesting indeed.

Unexpectedly, upon arriving at the gate and seeing other children crying, they seemed scared and immediately clung to Luo Zhiyong's sleeve, refusing to go in.

Moreover, after watching for a while, the three of them started crying loudly too, demanding to go home and not wanting to enter school.

Luo Zhiyong, overwhelmed by the little ones' cries, felt lost; others had two parents looking after one child, but he was alone with three, each crying loudly, leaving him stressed.

Having no choice, he called for the kindergarten teachers to help.

Then, unlike teachers nowadays, the kindergarten teachers, back then, were less patient due to a greater number of kids and fewer teachers. As they had seen plenty of kids unwilling to enter, holding onto parents crying, they didn't make much of it. When Luo Zhiyong called them for help, two teachers simply came over and picked up the three little ones, waved to Luo Zhiyong, and said, "Parent, leave the kids to us, you can go back now. Just come to pick them up in the afternoon; we'll surely take care of them."

After saying this, without minding their tears, the two teachers took the three inside the classroom.

Ruirui and Haohao, the boys, were actually alright, as at home they were subjected to stricter discipline, not being spoiled as much. After being taken forcefully into the classroom, they understood it was a must-no-go-back day for school, so they stopped crying soon, merely sniffing, looking around the classroom at the other playmates who'd already quieted down.

But Yaoyao was different; being the only girl, she was inevitably spoiled more and had a bigger temper than her brothers. Seeing that neither the teacher nor Luo Zhiyong had catered to her whims, and being taken forcefully, she cried even harder, heart-wrenching enough that Luo Zhiyong seemed to hear her from outside the school gate.

As a dad, his heart ached with every sob, unable to feel at ease.
