Reborn as a Tough Army Wife-Chapter 845 - 2: Extra Story 2

(Sorry, I've been feeling a bit under the weather these past few days, so I haven't continued updating the extra chapters. I'm feeling a bit better today, so I'll see if I can finish the extra chapters in one go. If not, it'll be done by tomorrow at the latest.)

After Fang Pingying finished scolding Luo Zhiyong, she glared at him fiercely. That look was truly full of hidden meanings, which made Luo Zhiyong raise his eyebrows.

Others may not understand that look, but Luo Zhiyong certainly did. His wife was blaming him for not keeping his word, and if a similar situation happens again, hmm! 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Certain privileges are definitely going to be revoked.

Being called out for not keeping promises in front of his wife wasn't a big deal, but if his wife decided to withhold certain benefits because of this incident, that would be significant.

So, Luo Zhiyong's face flushed slightly, and then he braced himself and tried to explain, "Pingying, I didn't mean it that way. I just think Yaoyao is too young. If she goes to kindergarten, with the teacher having to manage so many children, who can watch over them properly? What if she gets hurt?"

After Luo Zhiyong finished speaking, seeing Fang Pingying still glaring at him coldly and not responding, he felt a bit awkward. He then pretended to cough and leaned closer to Fang Pingying, whispering in her ear to flatter her, "Our daughter looks like you, with such delicate skin. If she got hurt, it wouldn't be a minor issue."

In front of a room full of people, this man saying these words...

The words naturally made Fang Pingying happy inside, but her face reddened, and she gave him a little push.

The other people in the room were quite accustomed to this intimacy between the couple since their reconciliation. They weren't surprised, nor did they take it seriously.

However, Yaoyao, who had been standing beside Fang Pingying, acted like a clever little sprite. After listening to Luo Zhiyong's words, she immediately nodded eagerly, agreeing completely. She looked at Fang Pingying and said, "That's right, that's right. If I get hurt, it'll leave a scar."

Then she grabbed Luo Zhiyong's hand and cuddled up to him, "Daddy, I don't want to go to kindergarten. I'll go next year. I don't like kindergarten. I heard people say the teachers there are scary."

Yaoyao and a few other little ones often played in the nearby park, where kids living nearby came to play every day. Naturally, the kids talked about their topics, usually about what happened at school that day.

For instance, not finishing homework and getting criticized by the teacher, failing to recite a book and being kept after class, and getting scolded by parents afterward. These left a shadow in Yaoyao and the other little ones' hearts, always feeling like going to school meant getting criticized and scolded by teachers, so they all refused to go to school.

Luo Zhiyong always regarded Yaoyao as his precious darling, spoiling her to an unbelievable extent—so much so that he feared she'd melt if held inside his mouth and break if held in his hand. He wished he could give everything he had to this little one. Hearing her soft voice and cuddling up to him, he immediately agreed without principles, "Alright, don't go, don't go."

Fang Pingying, looking at this father-daughter pair, felt a surge of anger and shouted, "Luo Zhiyong, shut up!"

"Yaoyao, you three come over here." She then called Yaoyao, Ruirui, and Haohao over, tidied their clothes a bit, crouched down, and gently reasoned with them, "Don't you remember what mom told you before? Going to kindergarten isn't something scary. On the contrary, once you go there, there'll be plenty of other kids your age to play and attend class with."

Ruirui and Haohao's eyes brightened upon hearing this, feeling that going to school might be nice, as Fang Pingying described.

However, the two were used to following Yaoyao's lead, so despite having some thoughts, they looked towards Yaoyao, indicating for her to make a decision.

But Yaoyao wasn't easily fooled. She glared at the two, conveying that they were too spineless to be swayed so easily.

Then she looked at Fang Pingying and huffed, expressing her dissatisfaction, "Mom, are you like grandma says, you think earning money is more important than us, so you want to abandon us and leave us at kindergarten, not wanting us anymore."

Fang Pingying was almost amused by Yaoyao's misuse of words, but when it came to educating children, she always maintained her composure. She stifled her laughter and continued to reason with Yaoyao, "Silly child, what's this about abandoning? Mom has already said we'll just drop you off in the morning for school and pick you up in the afternoon. Every weekend when mom has days off, you can rest too. By then, mom and dad can take you out to play."

Yaoyao, hearing Fang Pingying's explanations, wavered slightly inside, but she still didn't quite believe Fang Pingying. Instead, she turned her head to confirm with Luo Zhiyong, "Daddy, is it like mom says?"

"Yes..." Seeing the little one had been swayed, Luo Zhiyong hesitated on how to answer, but with a sharp look from Fang Pingying, he immediately nodded, "Yes, what mom says is correct."

"Then..." Yaoyao thought for a moment, her mind already somewhat inclined to go, but she flashed a mischievous grin at Fang Pingying and spoke, "I'll discuss it with brother and Haohao."

Seeing the little one acting all grown-up, Fang Pingying couldn't help but smile. However, because she often encouraged the kids to think independently when facing matters, she nodded and allowed them to discuss.

When the little ones went into another room, and several elderly people at home seemed like they wanted to object, Fang Pingying immediately spoke up, "Don't worry. Our family's kids are bright and wouldn't suffer, no matter what. If you're really worried, we can treat the first few days as a trial, to see if they can adapt to school. If they really can't adapt, then we'll reconsider."

With Fang Pingying saying this, the elderly couldn't object anymore. After all, kids going to school is a good thing, and sooner or later, they must step out and go to school anyway.

Hence, everyone nodded in agreement.

Then the family discussed how each morning Fang Pingying and Luo Zhiyong would take the little ones to school. Fang Pingying and the others have cars to commute to work, which is more convenient. In the afternoons, since the kindergarten ends early and Fang Pingying can't pick them up due to work, they decided to let Fang Ping'an and Li Yuchun fetch the little ones and look after them.

Anyway, Li Yuchun had been at home taking care of Fang Xiu these days. Although Fang Xiu was pregnant, since it's her second child and her health has always been good, the months aren't advanced enough to require much care. Li Yuchun really has plenty of free time.

And Fang Ping'an used to work, partly to pass the time and partly because he didn't want to add too much burden on his daughters. He thought earning a bit was good, and the money saved could support them in retirement. But now that the family needs him, he naturally doesn't go to work anymore, contentedly staying home, enjoying spending time with grandchildren, which is something many envy. He certainly knows how to cherish it.
