Chapter 508 Mother and Daughter
In the morning after the rain, the air is particularly humid and fresh. The long-lost warm sunshine gently pours on the earth through the mist. The cool breeze blows, the birds chirping happily, and the green branches and leaves are shining with crystal clear dewdrops, and vitality is everywhere.
Joanna woke up from her sleep as early as before, looked at Nina who was still sleeping sweetly in her arms. She smiled and kissed her forehead gently, then tiptoed out of the bed and put on clothes. When she left, she did not forget to cover the thin blanket on Nina who liked to move too much when she was sleeping.
Walking out of the room and pushing open the window in the corridor, Joanna opened her arms and stretched her waist lazily, feeling the fresh air outside the window and the quiet and empty streets. She clenched her fists and cheered herself up habitually. It was another hard-working new day! Joanna needs to work harder! For Nina! For the happiness of the future!
"Good morning, Alan!"
When he arrived at the living room, Joanna greeted Alan who was cleaning the room silently. Alan looked at her and nodded in response, and continued to focus on her work. Joanna was no longer surprised, but walked straight to the water room.
Brushing her teeth and rinsing her mouth, washing and drying clothes, and preparing breakfast, a series of things made her look like an ordinary housewife. It is hard to imagine that the once rich daughter would be willing to fall to such a level.
When she put the rich breakfast on the dining table one by one with a floral apron, Nina, wearing pink pajamas, had already rubbed her sleepy eyes and walked down from the bedroom. She climbed onto her seat with a long yawn, her misty big eyes staring at the steaming milk and bread cakes on the table. The white and tender little hand subconsciously reached out to grab it.
Bang-
"Nina! Do you still remember the agreement with your mother? You are not allowed to eat before brushing your teeth and washing up!"
Joanna gently patted Nina's hand that reached for food and educated her with a serious look on her face.
"Um..." Nina held her little hand, pouted and jumped out of the seat. She muttered: "I know, I know! Mom is so nagging every time!"
"If you are a little more self-conscious every time, mom promises that you won't say a word to you in the future." Joanna, who had sharp ears, couldn't help but feel uncomfortable when she heard her daughter's words.
Nina snorted in discontent, turned around and grimaced at her and ran out of the restaurant.
"This kid!"
Joanna shook her head and smiled helplessly, and happened to meet Alan and walked in.
"Brother Alan! I'll ask you to accompany Nina to the school again later."
Joanna took off the apron around her waist, reached out to lift her hair that was lifting her ears and said.
Alan nodded and pointed at the food on the table and looked at her.
"Don't worry, Brother Alan, I've eaten it." Joanna understood what he meant. She just waved her hand and smiled. Even if she was facing the sky, she couldn't hide the charming charm she showed. "The shop just transported bulk goods yesterday, and there are still many things waiting for me to deal with today. I can come back and rest as soon as possible."
As soon as she finished speaking, she took the light blue leather bag hanging on the chair and stepped on her shoulder, and was about to leave in a hurry. Unexpectedly, she just left the restaurant and met Nina who had returned from washing up.
"Mom! Don't you say hello and leave me and Uncle Ugly to work alone?"
Nina stood at the door, put her hands on her hips, and said angrily.
"Sorry, Nina! Mom is wrong! But be considerate of mom. I will accompany Nina after I finish this period of work!"
Joanna squatted down in front of her, hugged Nina in her arms and apologized repeatedly.
"I don't listen, I don't listen, I don't listen! Mom is like this again! It's the most annoying!" Nina covered her ears and said loudly.
"Nina! You must believe that your mother loves you! Everything that mom does 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 said this to me before! But in the end, Dad left us forever!" Nina's tender voice suddenly choked, and crystal tears flowed in her bright eyes.
"Nina! Forgive your mother for something wrong! I will apologize to Nina after I come back!"
Joanna's nose felt sour, her eyes quickly turned red and moist. She resisted the urge to shed tears, and she let Nina go cruelly. Then she walked out the door without looking back.
"Mother!"
Nina's lips kept squirming, and her pitiful little face had already been raining. She stared at Joanna's leaving back in a daze, and only had time to scream, and disappeared from her sight for convenience.
Suddenly, her head was gently patted, and she raised her head and saw the ugly uncle take out a handkerchief and hand it to her.
"It's better to be ugly uncle!"
Nina took the handkerchief and seemed to be unable to suppress her emotions anymore. She hugged her ugly uncle and started crying.
After venting his grievances and sadness, Nina sat back on the chair at the dining table and finished her breakfast silently. After putting on her clothes, she took her ugly uncle's hand and walked home to the school.
Knowledge monopoly is very common in Elderland. Generally, only families with good conditions can provide children's enlightenment education. If you need to get access to deeper knowledge, the price you pay is often unbearable for ordinary families. Therefore, most of the groups that master knowledge are either rich or noble, 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 rooted in people's minds.
Among them, the powerful class attaches more importance to knowledge education than they imagine. Even if they are in a bad mood, they will squeeze out the last piece of money to provide the best education for their children. It can be seen that the cognition of knowledge education is not divided into classes.
The prosperity driven by the grain trade in Fei'an is reflected in all aspects, and the private enlightenment school is one of them. Although the town has a royal public enlightenment school, the expensive tuition has forced most civilian families to be discouraged and instead invest in private schools with slightly cheaper fees. Therefore, in Fei'an, the Kingdom Public School has another name, the noble school.
The Enlightenment School where Nina attended was a public school called the Noble School.
Joanna, who was born in a wealthy family, knows the importance of education to children. Public schools are far from comparable to private schools in terms of education. No matter how expensive the tuition is, it will not 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 purchasing the industry and paying Nanina's tuition. Her hard work and busyness over the past two years are nothing more than to continue to provide Nina with a good education. It seems that only in this way can she marry a good man like herself when she grows up.
The public school is one block from Joanna's home, about thirty minutes walk. When Xialan and Nina were walking on the street, most of the pedestrians who came and went frequently to pay attention. The combination of a man wearing gauze bandage and a cute little girl undoubtedly creates many imaginations. During the days when they first settled in Fiancé, the patrol guards in the neighborhood would suspect Alan's suspicious identity every now and then, which always attracted the defense of Joanna and Nina.
Finally, the guard captain of their neighborhood personally investigated Alan's situation and confirmed that the other party was really just an ordinary person without any special power. The guards patrolling in the neighborhood never made any trouble with him.
"Alan! Send her niece to school again?"
A guard who was on duty early in the morning saw Alan and Nina and raised his hand and smiled and greeted.
Alan nodded to him, Nina holding her hands lowered her head and said nothing.
"Little Nina! Why don't you say hello when I meet my uncle today?!" Seeing that the lively and cute little Nina on weekdays did not respond, the guards immediately said curiously and confused.
Out of the politeness and upbringing that Joanna and the school teacher were implanted in Nina's bones, she raised her head and looked at the guards with red eyes and whispered: "I'm sorry uncle! Nina and her mother quarreled and felt unhappy, so she didn't want to talk to anyone."
"So that's it, but unfortunately, I can't solve this kind of thing." Seeing Nina's pitiful appearance, the guards said relievedly.
Widow Joanna is quite well-known in this neighborhood. On the one hand, it comes from her "brother" Alan, and on the other hand, it comes from her beauty and temperament. Just from her words and deeds, you can know that she is from a good background and is by no means the daughter of an ordinary family.
She runs a grain shop and is very busy all day long and often has no time to take care of Nina, but anyone can feel the harmony and warmth between their mother and daughter.
Many men secretly admire Joanna. Some people who are slutty often harass her with the excuse of helping her. However, since the news that an adult from the patrol guard team fell in love with Joanna in the neighborhood, these people gradually disappeared.
After comforting Nina, the security guards who were in charge of the matter took the excuse to part with the two.
"Ugly uncle! I don't like the uncle just now."
Alan and Nina continued to go to the school, and she suddenly spoke.
Alan tilted her head and looked at her.
"Because he always looks lustful when he looks at his mother!" Nina bulged her face and looked up at her ugly uncle and said, "Among all men, except father, it is the most normal thing for the ugly uncle to look at her mother."
After saying that, Nina lowered her head again, muttering something in her mouth.
"It's a pity that the ugly uncle is too ugly. Mom doesn't like you, otherwise Nina can barely make you Nina's father."
Unlike other people's children who are picked up and dropped off by carriages, Alan appeared in front of the door of the public school with Nina, which seemed extremely abrupt. Especially the terrifying Alan looked like a living mummy. Many parents who picked up and dropped off the children were far away from them, and their contempt and disgusting eyes were unconsciously revealed.
"Ugly Uncle! Don't forget to pick up Nina in class."
