Chapter 82
After the Lantern Festival, on the 16th day of the first lunar month, Xiao Heng will go to school.
There were pens, ink, paper and inkstones available at the school. Yin Hui prepared a coat and a set of clothes for her son, folded them neatly into a bag, and handed it to Cao Bao to carry. She also prepared a separate purse for snacks, which she also hung around Cao Bao's waist to prevent the little guy from going hungry.
"When you get to school, you must listen to your teachers and ask them questions. If your brothers quarrel or fight, you should stand aside..."
On the way to see Xiao Heng off from Chengxin Hall, Yin Hui wanted to tell him all the instructions she could think of.
No matter what his mother said, Xiao Heng nodded obediently, but I don't know if he really remembered it.
"Okay, you go back." Wei Ruo took Xiao Heng hand and interrupted her chatter.
He had heard these words countless times when he was a child, and now he really didn't want to hear them again.
And even if Xiao Heng remembered everything, it would be useless. A group of children got together and started fighting while playing. Who would remember what the adults said?
Yin Hui glared at him gently.
Wei Ruo still had that cold and indifferent expression.
Yin Hui touched Xiao Heng's head and stood at the gate of Chengxin Hall, watching the father and son gradually walk away. Xiao Heng would occasionally look back, and Yin Hui stood here until the father and son turned a corner.
"Dad, can I go back and have lunch with mom at noon?"
Without his mother and a wet nurse, Xiao Heng suddenly became uneasy. He looked up and discussed with his father. He even cleverly found an excuse, "My mother will miss me if she can't see me."
Wei Ruo said, "When you came back from school in the evening, mother will see you."
Xiao Heng: "But it's been too long. Mom hasn't been able to see me. What should I do if she cries?"
Wei Ruo: "Mom is an adult now, she won't cry."
Xiao Heng pursed his lips. He didn't want his father to send him to school. He liked his mother more.
Wei Ruo suddenly stopped, knelt on one knee, faced Xiao Heng sullen face, and asked in a low voice, "Will you cry?"
Xiao Heng looked at his father and said, "I miss my mother."
Wei Ruo: "Mom will always be waiting for you at home."
Xiao Heng: "Then I miss her more."
Wei Ruo: "We'll see each other after school."
Xiao Heng: "I miss her now."
Wei Ruo paused and said, "You can think about it, but you still have to study hard. If you study well, mother will like you more."
Xiao Heng pouted.
Wei Ruo: "Today, Silang will also go to the academy. You two can compete with each other. Whoever doesn't cry will be the stronger one."
Xiao Heng immediately said, "I'm the best!"
He could recite more poems than Silang, ran faster than Silang, and ate more than Silang.
Wei Ruo patted his son's head, looked at Cao Bao and said, "It's no use just talking, you have to do it. Dad will come back in the evening and ask Cao Bao, if you really didn't cry, Dad will give you a reward."
