Chapter 15

Jennie asked, "Is Ella adjusting to kindergarten?"

Jillian smiled from ear to ear when she heard 'Ella', and said repeatedly, "She's still adjusting, the teacher even called home to praise her, saying that Ella is very smart, learning everything faster than other children."

The old lady even forgot to eat. Her mouth was like a bamboo tube spilling out beans.

"Last time the school sent some books to teach some simple characters, and the teacher urged parents to help their child revise. Ella was very self-motivated and lay there to read as soon as she finished eating, there was no need for me to remind her. I'm just worried that she will be nearsighted if she loves to read so much..."

Jennie smiled, "Don't let her read too close, it should be fine."

Jillian: "So I usually pay attention to correcting her. By the way, she also studies English and learns bilingually. She can count from one to ten, and she can also say apples and oranges."

Jennie propped her chin and smiled, "Really? I will test her next time."

Aunt Fang, who had been eating quietly, silently put a piece of meat into Jillian's bowl, avoiding Jennie's sight, just looking at Jillian, and whispered, "Shall we eat first?"

Jillian's mouth was half open, and she seemed to want to continue speaking, her eyes looked at the meat in the bowl again, and she looked a little embarrassed.

Jennie smiled and added, "You have to eat first, and we will talk about it after eating. I should stay at home for a while this time."

Only then did Jillian start lunch with peace of mind.

Aunt Fang cleaned up the dishes after the meal. There is a dishwasher at home, but Aunt Fang is used to washing dishes by hand. Jennie didn't say anything when she saw it. 

People at their age have difficulty accepting new things freely. Most of those automated devices become furnishings, and they can no longer find interest in passing the time like young people. Doing housework can make them feel a little more secure.

Jillian returned to her room and took Ella's recent homework to let Jennie have a look at them. The child's handwriting is naive, and the letters are big and round, a little bit cute.

Jennie finished reading, smiled, and said, "It's written very well."

Jillian showed a look of relief.

The mother and daughter were silent for a while. They actually don't have much to talk about, their generation gap is like mountains.

One reason is habit since childhood. Jillian had to earn money to support her family and did not have much energy to communicate with the children; second, Jennie's life was too far away from her.

Sometimes when Jillian looks at the bright star on the screen, she can't help but doubt whether Jennie is really the daughter in front of her.

It's as if before she could see this daughter clearly, she has already grown up, become distant and powerful, become someone who can lift the whole family on one shoulder, and keep the wind and rain out firmly.

She feels guilty about this daughter. Her sister was able to experience a proper family for a short time, but by the time she was born, there were only endless quarrels and coldness left in the family.

She and her sister were close since childhood, always dependent on each other, but in the end, her sister...

Jillian vaguely feels that the reason why Jennie has such a playful and chaotic private life, as her bad reputation goes, is mainly the effect she and her sister had on her.
