Chapter 388: School Starts, Out of Place
"Mom, my brother wants to eat too. Let me feed him!" Duoduo looked at little An An, who was drooling with greed. She took a bite of the steamed bun and spoke.
"It's too early for your brother to eat now." Shen Li said with a smile, "He can only drink breast milk and formula now."
"Okay then." Duoduo felt it was a pity. After all, her brother couldn't eat such delicious food now.
After dinner, Lu Jingchuan and Du Lan went to the kitchen to wash the dishes and chopsticks.
The mother and son were talking and laughing.
"Xiao Li's cooking skills are really great. I had a delicious meal. No wonder the children love her cooking."
"Yes, my wife's cooking skills have always been very good."
"You are in for a treat." Duran said with a smile.
……
Shen Li was helping Duoduo clean the shells they had picked up in the kitchen. There was a lot of mud and sand inside, which needed to be carefully cleaned. Shen Li took out an unused toothbrush and used the bristles on the surface of the toothbrush to remove the mud and sand hidden in the texture of the shells.
After cleaning all the shells, Shen Li used a sharp iron wire to grind the head to a very fine point, put it on the stove to roast it, and then used the red, sharp end of the iron wire to poke the top of the shells, making round holes in the shells one by one.
There were some clams farmed in the space before, and all of these clams were raised to be large in size, with many natural pearls hidden in the clam meat.
While no one was paying attention to her, Shen Li used her mind to take out the pearls from the bead stick, selected a few pink pearls, punched holes in them one by one, and used a very thin thread to string the shells and pearls together. Soon, a pearl and shell bracelet was ready.
The pearl shell bracelet exudes a pearl-like luster and subtle pearlescent color under the light, sparkling and shining, very gorgeous.
There were still a lot of shells left, so Shen Li used them to make a long string of shell wind chimes. She opened the window, and the sea breeze blew gently, and the shell wind chimes instantly made a crisp sound of ding ding ding ding.
"Wow, is this the shell bracelet and shell wind chime that Mom made for me?" At this time, Duoduo walked over here. Seeing the long string of shells in Shen Li's hand shining brightly in the sunlight, her eyes, like a pair of black grapes, opened wide.
"So beautiful, I like it so much!" Duoduo was very happy
"If you like, hang up this string of wind chimes." Shen Li said with a chuckle.
"This is a bracelet I made for you. Try it on and see if it looks good on you."
As she spoke, Shen Li gently put the shell bracelet on Duoduo's slender wrist. Duoduo raised her little hand and soon the shell bracelet made a clear and pleasant sound, shining like pearls under the sun, and Duoduo was very happy.
“Thanks mom, I love it!”
"As long as you like it."
The next morning, Shen Li took her two children to prepare for the admission procedures.
Originally they could have taken the military jeep on the island, but Shen Li thought that was too high-profile, so she rode a bicycle and took her children to school.
Lu Minghui sat on the back of the bicycle, while Duoduo sat on the front of the bicycle.
Since the road was built, the island is not far from Dongsheng Primary School and can be reached in about 40 minutes by bicycle.
After all, there were no gyms in that era, and Shen Li didn't have time to exercise every day. For him, riding a bicycle to take his two children to school every day was a form of fitness exercise.
She really enjoyed the feeling of riding a bicycle with the sea breeze blowing through her hair, which made her feel comfortable and free.
Shen Li also hung pink heart-shaped balloons and fluffy pink doll pendants on the handlebars of the bicycle, making the whole bicycle look cute.
More than 40 minutes later, Shen Li brought her two children to the gate of Dongsheng Community.
Unlike Shen Li and her two sons, the parents who came and went all drove to pick up their elementary school students. The mothers who got out of the cars were all dressed exquisitely and luxuriously, like noble ladies.
Shen Li noticed that many of them were wearing Jiaoyan's latest early spring styles, and she curled the corners of her lips in satisfaction.
In this era, cars are not as popular as NIO, and very few people can afford to buy a car. It can be seen that the students in this school are either rich or noble.
Shen Li, pushing a bicycle with two children on it, seemed a little out of place among the cars.
Many people around looked at Shen Li and her two sons.
"How can this woman afford to go to such a good school when she can't even afford a car?"
"Who knows? You know, our school is the best in the entire Southern Province! In the past, it was an aristocratic school! The tuition fee is 4000 yuan a year. They are a mother and her two children, dressed so poorly, and they actually come to a high-cost school like ours... Some people are just trying to show off."
"Who says it's not?"
Soon Shen Li arranged Lu Minghui to elementary school, and finally sent Duoduo to kindergarten.
"Both of their children are in school, one in elementary school and the other in kindergarten. Isn't the cost very high? Look at this woman who can't even afford a car and dresses very simply, but she is willing to spend so much money to support her two children in school. What's her purpose?"
"You don't have to force yourself into different circles. If you're not in the same circle, you can't squeeze in. Some poor people just want to break through the barriers of that class. They want to invest in their children's education to get a greater return, so that their children can lead their entire family to a new class. They want their sons to become successful. I guess they're also thinking of taking shortcuts. If their daughter catches a rich son-in-law and their son is spotted by a rich girl and becomes a live-in son-in-law, then they'll make a fortune!"
"This is too disgusting! This is aimed at rich people like us!"
Everyone looked at Shen Li with disdain.
Several wealthy ladies dressed in elegant attire looked at Shen Li's hurried back and laughed.
After Shen Li sent Duoduo to kindergarten, she saw some parents sending their children to school. Shen Li thought that they were all parents of the children and they would see each other every day in the future. Having a better relationship with the parents would also be beneficial to the child's circle of friends.
Shen Li walked towards them with a smile, "Hello, I'm Lu Duoduo and Lu Minghui's mother."
These wealthy ladies looked Shen Li up and down and hummed perfunctorily. Some of them just glanced at Shen Li lightly and rolled their eyes.
"Both of your children go to school here?" One of the parents looked at Shen Li with some sympathy, "The tuition here is not cheap for you, right?"
Shen Li didn't hear the subtle sarcasm in her voice. Shen Li nodded, "The tuition is indeed expensive. But I hope it has its benefits. I hope the money is not wasted."
