Chapter 508: Mother and Daughter
In the early morning after the rain, the air is exceptionally moist and fresh, the long-lost warm sunlight gently pours on the earth through the mist, the cool breeze blows lightly, the birds chirp happily, and the crystal dew on the emerald green branches and leaves shimmer with crystal clear dewdrops, showing vigorous vitality everywhere.
Joanna woke up from her sleep early as usual, looked at Nina who was still sleeping sweetly in her arms, she smiled and kissed her lightly on the forehead, and then crept up from the bed to put on her clothes, and did not forget to put a thin blanket on Nina, who liked to sleep and was hyperactive, when she left.
Walking out of the room and pushing open the window of the corridor, Joanna stretched lazily with open arms, feeling the fresh air outside the window, the quiet and empty street, she clenched her fists, habitually cheered herself up, and it was a new day of hard work! Joanna needs to work harder! For Nina! For happiness in the future!
"Good morning Alain!"
When they came to the living room, Joanna greeted Alain, who was silently cleaning the room, and Alain looked at her and nodded in response, continuing to concentrate on her work.
Brushing her teeth and rinsing her mouth, washing and drying clothes, preparing breakfast, a series of things made her live like an ordinary housewife, and it is hard to imagine that the daughter of a rich family would be willing to fall to such a state.
As she put a hearty breakfast on the table in a floral apron, Nina, dressed in pink pajamas, had already walked out of the bedroom with her sleepy eyes, and she climbed into her seat with a long yawn, staring blankly at the steaming milk and bread and pastries on the table with her big misty eyes. The white and tender little hand subconsciously reached out and grabbed it.
Smack-
"Nina! Remember the agreement with your mother? Don't eat until you brush your teeth and wash up! ”
Joanna gently patted Nina's hand towards the food and taught her with a serious face.
"Hmm......" Nina jumped out of her seat holding her little hand and pouting. muttered in his mouth: "I know, I know!" Mom is so verbose every time! ”
"If you are a little conscious every time, my mother promises not to talk to you in the future." Joanna, who was sharp-eared, couldn't help but feel good when she heard her daughter's words.
Nina snorted unconvinced, turned around and grimaced at her and ran out of the restaurant.
"This kid!"
Joanna shook her head and smiled helplessly, just in time to meet Alain walking in.
"Rango! I'm going to trouble you to accompany Nina to the academy later. ”
Joanna untied her apron around her waist and reached out to brush her hair.
Alain nodded, pointing to the food on the table and looking at her.
"Don't worry, Brother Alain, I've already eaten it." Joanna understood what he meant. just waved her hand and smiled, even if she was plain and facing the sky, she couldn't hide the charming charm she revealed. "Yesterday the shop only shipped a large amount of goods, and today there are many things waiting for me to deal with. I can come back and rest as soon as possible. ”
As soon as she finished speaking, she took the small light blue leather bag hanging on the chair and straddled her shoulders, and prepared to leave in a hurry, but she didn't expect to just leave the restaurant. I ran into Nina who came back from washing.
"Mom! Didn't you say hello and leave me and Uncle Ugly to be busy alone? ”
Nina stood in the doorway. With his hands on his hips, his little face said angrily.
"Sorry Nina! Mom was wrong! But be considerate of Mom, I will accompany Nina well when this time is over! ”
Joanna crouched down in front of her, holding Nina in her arms with both hands and apologizing.
"I don't listen, I don't listen, I don't listen! Mom is like this again! The most annoying! Nina covered her ears and shouted.
"Nina! You have to believe that Mom loves you! Everything my mother is doing now is to be able to live a happier life with Nina in the future. Joanna said bitterly.
"I don't listen! You are all big liars! Dad told me the same thing before! But in the end, Dad left us forever! Nina's childish voice suddenly choked up, and tears flowed in her bright eyes.
"Nina! Forgive mom for being wrong! I'll apologize to Nina when I get back! ”
Joanna's nose was sore, her eyes quickly reddened and moistened, and she resisted the urge to let go of Nina with the urge to tears. Then he walked out the door without looking back.
"Mom!"
Nina's lips kept squirming, and her poor little face had already been pear-blossomed. She stared at Joanna's departing back in a daze, and before she could make a call, the other party disappeared from sight.
Suddenly, she was gently patted on the head, and when she looked up, she saw Uncle Ugly pull out a handkerchief and hand it to her.
"It's better to be an ugly uncle!"
Nina took the handkerchief, and seemed to be unable to suppress her emotions any longer, and cried loudly while holding the big retreat of her ugly uncle.
After venting the grievances and sadness in her heart, Nina sat back on the chair at the dining table and ate breakfast without saying a word, and after putting on her clothes, she took Uncle Ugly's hand and left the house and walked towards the school.
Knowledge monopoly is a very common thing in Elderland, generally only families with good conditions can provide children's enlightenment education, if you need to contact deeper knowledge, the price paid is often difficult for ordinary families to bear, so most of the groups that master knowledge are either rich or expensive, and only a very small number of civilians stand out.
Knowledge is precious.
Because knowledge can change a person's destiny.
This view is deeply ingrained in people's minds.
Among them, the elite class attaches more importance to knowledge education than imagined, even if they are down, they will squeeze out the last copper plate to provide the best education for children, which shows that the cognition of knowledge education is not divided into classes.
The prosperity of Fei'an Town due to the grain trade is reflected in all aspects, and the private Enlightenment School is one of them, although there is a Kingdom Public Enlightenment School in the town, but the expensive tuition fees make most civilian families have to be discouraged and turn to a slightly cheaper private school, so in Fei'an Town, the Kingdom Public School has another name, the Noble School.
And the Enlightenment School that Nina attends is a public school called the Noble School.
Joanna, who was born in a wealthy family, knows the importance of education to children, and the level and quality of education in public schools are far from comparable to those of private schools, and even the high tuition fees cannot hinder her determination to send Nina to public schools.
After Joanna chose to settle in Fei'an Town, she almost used up her husband's inheritance just by buying a property and paying Nina's tuition, and her hard work in the past two years is nothing more than to continue to provide Nina with a good education in the future, and it seems that only in this way can she marry a good man like her husband when she grows up.
The public school is a block away from Joanna's home, about a thirty-minute walk, when Xia Lan and Nina walk on the street, most of the pedestrians will pay attention to it, and the combination of a man covered in gauze bandages and a cute little girl will undoubtedly make people reverie.
In the end, the captain of the security team of their neighborhood personally investigated Alain's situation and confirmed that the other party was really just an ordinary person with no special powers, and the guard patrolling the neighborhood never troubled him again.
"Alain! Sending my niece to school again? ”
A guard on duty early in the morning raised his hand and smiled when he saw Alan and Nina.
Alain nodded at him, and Nina, who was holding her in her hand, bowed her head and said nothing.
"Little Nina! Why didn't you say hello to your uncle today?! Seeing that the lively and cute little Nina did not respond, the guard was suddenly curious and confused.
Out of the politeness and upbringing that Joanna and the academy taught in Nina's bones, she was still sulking, she raised her head, looked at the guards with red eyes and whispered, "I'm sorry uncle!" Nina had a fight with her mother and was unhappy, so she didn't want to talk to anyone. ”
"I see, but it's a pity that Uncle can't solve this kind of thing." Seeing Nina's pitiful appearance, the guard said with relief.
Widow Joanna is quite well-known in this neighborhood, on the one hand, because of her "brother" Alain, on the other hand, because of her beauty and temperament, just from her words and deeds, you can know that she is from a good background, and she is by no means the daughter of an ordinary family.
She runs a grain store and is very busy all day, often not having time to take care of Nina, but anyone can feel the harmony and warmth between their mother and daughter.
Many men secretly admired Joanna, and some of the dead-faced people often harassed her under the pretext of helping, but since it was rumored that an adult from the patrol guard had taken a fancy to Joanna, these people gradually disappeared.
After comforting Nina, the important guard took the excuse to separate from the two.
"Ugly uncle! I don't like my uncle just now. ”
Alain and Nina were on their way to the academy when she suddenly spoke.
Alain tilted his head to look at her.
"Because the way he looks at his mother is always squinting!" Nina puffed out her little face, looked up at her ugly uncle and said, "Among all men, except for Dad, only Uncle Ugly looks at his mother is the most normal." ”
After saying that, Nina lowered her head again, muttering something in her mouth.
"It's a pity that Uncle Ugly is too ugly, and Mom can't look down on you, otherwise Nina can barely let you be Nina's father."
Unlike other people's children, who are all picked up by carriages, so Alain and Nina appeared in front of the door of the public school very abruptly, especially the terrifying Alain is like a living mummy, many housekeepers and parents who pick up and drop off children are far away from them, and the eyes of contempt and disgust are unconsciously revealed.
"Ugly uncle! Don't forget to pick up Nina from school. ”
Nina was unaware of the sight around her, and after entering the door of the school, she did not forget to remind the ugly uncle outside the door loudly. (To be continued.) )
