Zhao Suisui finally stayed in the first grade with tears in her eyes.
But what comforted her was that in order to celebrate the start of school tomorrow, Feng He took her and Zhao Jingcheng to the city by car after registering.
Zhao Suisui and Zhao Jingcheng only took a brief look at Songnan City on the day they got off the train.
Zhao Suisui and Zhao Jingcheng were both a little excited at the thought of going to the city soon. Even getting on the swaying and smelly shuttle bus couldn’t extinguish their enthusiasm.
Feng He, on the other hand, was not as good as the two children and felt uncomfortable for a while after getting off the bus.
After she recovered, she took her two children to the state-owned department store in Songnan City.
The department store is located at an intersection in the city center. Although it is not as good as the one in Beijing, it is still a very impressive three-story building. It is said that it was renovated from the buildings left over from the Republic of China period.
There was a sign with red letters on a white background that read “State-Owned Department Store” hanging on the door of the store. Slogans such as ‘Serving the People’ and ‘Developing the Economy and Guaranteeing Supply ‘ were also posted on the walls of the mall.
Feng He took the two children to the stationery area and asked them to choose their own pens and notebooks.
There was no need to choose a school bag. The army would give the children going to school a military green satchel made in the textile workshop. It was strong and durable. It could also be regarded as one of the benefits of the army’s family members.
Most children nowadays admire soldiers. It would be a great honor to carry a replica military school bag.
When the children in the army went out with their military school bags slumped over, their chests could not be puffed out anymore. They were so proud.
Choosing stationery was also an exciting thing. Zhao Suisui and Zhao Jingcheng cheered and ran to choose their favorite stationery.
There wasn’t much to choose from in terms of pencils because there weren’t many options, but notebooks had a good choice.
Zhao Suisui specialized in choosing books that she thought were beautiful, while Zhao Jingcheng preferred simple ones with slogans on the covers.
Feng He asked the two of them to pick three notebooks each.
Zhao Jingcheng made his choice quickly, but Zhao Suisui took her time, choosing for a long time, unable to make up her mind.
Feng He gave her an ultimatum and threatened her: “If you don’t make a good choice, I won’t buy it.”
When Zhao Suisui heard this, she immediately took out three books and held them in her arms.
Seeing that the two children had finished selecting, Feng He herself also selected three books and checked them out together.
Zhao Suisui watched Feng He take three more books and asked curiously: “Mom, who are these three books for?”
“It’s for Zhouzhou.” Feng He answered her.
While buying stationery for her two children, Feng He suddenly remembered Lu Zhou, whom she had just met at school. Lu Rong is a grown man, so he might not even think of preparing these things for his children.
Now she just wanted to buy it for her two children, so then she bought another set for Lu Zhou, which was just a matter of convenience.
Speaking of which, this child Lu Zhou was also pitiful.
Feng He knew those things about the Lu family.
Lu Rong got married earlier than she and Zhao Haoyang. The two families had a good relationship. Lu Rong and Zhao Haoyang were both soldiers. Feng He originally thought that she and Lu Zhou’s biological mother, Xu Man, would have something to talk about.
However, Xu Man’s attitude was always lukewarm. Feng He was busy with work, so she stopped trying to befriend her.
It was not until later that she learned that Xu Man was unwilling to marry Lu Rong.
It was only because something happened to Xu Man’s family that year that Xu Man and Lu Rong got married because of the Xu family’s kindness to the Lu family and the desire to ask for the Lu family’s protection.
However, Xu Man always had someone else in her heart. In addition, Lu Rong was not at home all year round, and he didn’t understand the style. He often forgot about his family when he was working, which led to the relationship between the couple becoming worse and worse.
Then the movement came, and the Lu family was slightly affected. The man Xu Man longed for seized the opportunity and became the director of the Revolutionary Committee.
Xu Man couldn’t sit still and tried every means to divorce Lu Rong and marry the man she loved.
The divorce between the two of them was ugly.
Hello~~ Do you still remember our event’s rule? If not, you can read it again in the previous chapter.
I want to emphasize a few things:
1. The event time is from Monday, Feb 12th, 2024 to Wednesday, Feb 14th, 2024 14:02 (UTC+7 timezone)
So, every chapter released during that duration will be counted.
2. The Final Number is the accumulated amount during the duration of the event (3 days.)
The Final Number will be written on the chapter updated on the last day of the event in the Comment Area.
But, it’s okay if you leave a comment each day, so you need not to count it over and over again.
3. When I say to COUNT ALL, it means ALL
A little hint: Do you realize that there is a love sign in my Ko-fi logo below? Hehe~~
I say again COUNT every ‘love’ word or sign that appeared. COUNT. IT. ALL.
PS: Btw, this event is much easier that guessing my Chinese zodiac, right? Hehe~~
❤️❤️❤️Happy counting! ❤️❤️❤️
You can support your favorite novel by buying me a cup of Ko-fi ( ˘▽˘)っ♨
I will really appreciate it. ❤️❤️❤️

Thanks for your translation
I want to ask if it’s ok to count word from the story since in this chapter there’s the word love and you’re not the one who added it
“to divorce Lu Rong and marry the man she *loved*.”
Yieks, Zhouzhou’s mom is a bish.
