Chapter 150: Sky Screen Live Broadcast System (25)

~9 min read 1,703 words

The daze lasted only a moment; soon, he skillfully picked up his Toothbrush, squeezed out a soybean-sized amount of Toothpaste, and faced the mirror, baring his teeth to brush.

After washing up, he changed into the school uniform he had received during registration—a white short-sleeved shirt paired with dark navy suit shorts; after putting on the shirt, he still had to tie a small light blue bowtie.

After getting dressed, he went to the desk and put on the orthopedic backpack he had bought while traveling in Haicheng.

The backpack neatly held the books he had received during registration yesterday; yesterday afternoon, with his aunt's help, he had covered the books and stuck name labels on the top left corners.

In the cartoon pencil case he had chosen himself, he had packed sharpened pencils and a brand-new eraser and ruler.

Finally, he hung the school ID badge, which had his photo and name printed on it, around his neck, and quietly closed the door as he walked out of the room.

"Linbao is all dressed and ready? How wonderful!"

Xie Yang came out of the kitchen carrying breakfast, just preparing to go wake her nephew up.

The school was close to home, taking only ten minutes to walk there even at a leisurely pace, so she had wanted to let her nephew sleep a little longer; she hadn't expected the little guy to be so proactive on his first day of school, not only getting up early but also washing up, changing into his uniform, and putting on his backpack.

She couldn't help but laugh: "You haven't eaten breakfast yet, so put your backpack down first; you can put it on when we leave."

A flash of awkwardness crossed Xie Jilin's little face.

He liked this backpack too much; even with so many books inside, it wasn't heavy at all, and it didn't feel like it was digging into his shoulders—it was much better than a book bag! So much so that he had forgotten he hadn't eaten breakfast yet.

"Linbao, you eat first; I'll go see if Jinbao is awake."

Xie Yang poured her nephew a glass of millet, Job's tears, and pumpkin milkshake, with the last portion of diluted Nutrient Solution mixed into it.

As of today, the Children's Nutrient Solution she had bought on credit had been fully fed to her nephew and niece.

Before school started, she had taken them for a physical examination, and every metric was in the optimal range of health, directly beating 99.99% of their peers.

Their height had even jumped into the ultra-high range of the growth percentile system released by the National Health Commission.

These two children were the offspring of the Chang Gongzhu of Daliang, and their father was Xie Ci, who had traveled from the modern era, so their nutritional intake was naturally more meticulous than that of ordinary families.

In ancient times, where the average height was significantly shorter than that of modern people, the siblings were considered quite tall and well-developed among their peers, but here in the modern era, they could only barely squeeze into the normal range.

After three months of Nutrient Solution supplementation, they had finally moved up a level.

Not only was their height development ahead of their peers, but all their health indicators had reached the peak of health.

Xie Yang felt relieved.

Children in this age group were the most prone to illness, and once they got sick, they inevitably had to get shots, take medicine, and go on an IV drip.

If they looked sickly, or perhaps were teary-eyed from the pain of injections and IVs, the Daliang citizens watching the live stream would surely give negative ratings out of heartache.

Any problem that could be solved with money (points) was not a problem at all!

Today's breakfast, besides the nutrient milkshake, also included sandwiches.

She had baked a carrot loaf before bed last night, and this morning she fried three eggs and three strips of bacon, and washed a piece of organic lettuce and an organic Tomato.

She sliced the Tomato, added a slice of cheese between two slices of toast, squeezed on some fresh milk condensed milk and blueberry jam, and made fresh sandwiches for the two children for breakfast—complete with meat and vegetables, delicious and nutritious.

Xie Yang also used beef bought from the grasslands to stir-fry a jar of children's meat floss, adding a spoonful to the sandwiches.

"Aunt, I remember the way to school; I can go by myself."

Xie Jilin was thinking about letting his younger sister sleep a little longer; he could go to school on his own.

"Jinbao is awake." Xiao Jinbao ran out from the bedroom with a patter, her eyes still heavy with sleep as she said in a soft, milky voice, "Jinbao will take Brother to school!"

"Jinbao still remembers what she said last night?" Xie Yang picked up her niece and smiled, tapping her little nose, "What a good baby!"

"Yes!" Jinbao nodded with great seriousness.

Xie Yang was amused and turned to tell her nephew to eat first while she took her niece to wash up.

After washing her face and brushing her teeth, she tied Xiao Jinbao's hair into two little buns and put two cute strawberry hair clips on her bangs.

"Aunt, Jinbao wants to wear this."

While changing clothes, Xiao Jinbao pointed to the milky-white puff-sleeve shirt paired with a mint-green plaid skirt in the closet, with a macaron-green bow tie for the shirt collar.

Xie Yang had bought this online; it was children's academy style, and the fabric was quite good, but she hadn't been able to have her try it on, so the size was too big, but she hadn't returned it, thinking she could wear it when she started kindergarten next year.

Xie Yang thought for a moment: "Is it because this outfit is the closest to Brother's school uniform?"

Xiao Jinbao nodded obediently.

At this moment, Xie Yang's heart softened completely.

"Does Jinbao want to go to school with Brother?"

Xiao Jinbao nodded and then shook her head: "Jinbao is still small, I can't go."

Xie Yang thought for a moment and asked: "Then after Brother goes to school, Aunt will take Jinbao to a place where there are other children the same age as Jinbao; would Jinbao like to go?"

"Is it a school that Jinbao can go to?"

"Yes!"

"Okay! Jinbao likes going to school!"

Hearing this, Xie Jilin asked curiously: "Aunt, didn't you say Jinbao isn't old enough and can't go to kindergarten yet?"

Xie Yang: "She can't go to kindergarten yet, but she can go to daycare."

The Sicily Residential Complex had a privately run daycare, and she had heard that its facilities and services were quite good, more systematic and standardized than ordinary early education institutions.

However, before this, she hadn't thought about sending Xiao Jinbao to daycare, and had even worried about whether she would cry when sending her to kindergarten this time next year.

Who knew the little one would be so eager to go to school.

Then let her try it! If she doesn't adapt, she can just be brought back.

Thus, after breakfast, when sending her nephew to school, her niece also put on her little backpack.

The backpack contained the rabbit doll she had been super fond of lately—fond enough to hug while sleeping—and some snacks she liked to eat, and she also slung on a small water bottle filled with warm water, just like her brother's.

Walking to school hand-in-hand with her brother, head held high, she told everyone she met, whether in the Elevator or on the road, in a crisp voice: "Brother and I are going to school!"

A child who was on his first day of kindergarten was pulling his mother's hand at the entrance of the residential complex, wailing and refusing to cross the road to enter the kindergarten, and was swatted on the bottom a few times by his mother:

"Look at that little sister; she's younger than you and knows how to go to school, so why are you, a big brother, still lying on the ground crying? Aren't you ashamed!"

"Then I want to go to school too! I don't want to go to kindergarten!"

"..."

His mother laughed in anger: "You haven't learned how to walk yet and you want to run?"

"Who says! I can walk! I can run too! I want to go to school! I just don't want to go to kindergarten!"

"..."

Xiao Jinbao let go of Xie Yang's hand, trotted forward, and said to the little boy who was a head taller than her: "We are still small, we can't go to big brother's school, we have to go to our own school!"

The other parent squatted down: "Oh my! Whose child is this! So sensible!" She turned her head and changed her expression to scold her son, "Did you see that! The little sister understands the logic, why can't you understand it?"

The little boy was still sobbing: "Then I want to go to my own school!"

"Isn't your school kindergarten?" His mother was both angry and amused, "I've told you hundreds of times! If you don't believe me, ask the little sister."

The little boy looked at Xiao Jinchu and asked with a hiccup: "Is, is that true?"

"That's right!" Xiao Jinchu nodded.

"..."

"Then shall we go together?" The little boy sniffled and reached out his hand, wanting to pull Xiao Jinchu.

He was blocked by Xie Jilin, who stepped forward: "Don't touch my sister!"

"..."

The little boy's mother hurriedly picked up her son and walked toward the opposite side: "Hurry up! We're going to be late!"

"Mom, slow down, I want to be with the little sister..."

Xie Yang hurriedly took her niece and nephew by the hand and walked quickly toward the elementary school.

She was afraid that if she were one step slower, that child would set his sights on her Jinbao, and from then on make a scene about not wanting to go to kindergarten, but instead wanting to go to daycare with Jinbao; that would be a huge disaster.
