The Female General Dominates All After Transmigration-Chapter 262 - 260: Who’s Worried

To be honest, having a wife like this might make many men uncomfortable. Including Wang Liansheng himself, he sometimes misses his wife’s former tenderness.

But, he is also a smart man, knowing that the past cannot be retrieved, he will do his best to adapt to his wife’s changes.

He was silent for a moment, then said, "I think the children don’t need to go to the second sister-in-law’s place." 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

After pausing, Wang Liansheng said, "It’s okay if we are busy with work, the kids are grown up and can take care of themselves."

He quickly thought it over and then shared his thoughts with his wife:

Hongling is about to take exams and then will attend medical school and reside there, all meals and accommodation will be at the medical school.

Xiaoyu is sensible and also worry-free, when Hongling goes to stay at school, Xiaoyu can not only manage himself but also look after the younger ones.

Hongbing and Xiaoxing are both nine years old, can make simple meals, and wash their own clothes. Although sometimes playful and lacking self-control, these are not major issues.

The youngest, Shi Tou, can actually be sent for full daycare. Previously, it was because Shi Tou was young and just started school, no full daycare was arranged, so he was brought home for meals. Now, he can be sent to full daycare, sent to daycare in the morning and picked up in the evening.

Moreover, there’s a canteen over at the compound, the kids don’t need to cook after school, they can just buy meals at the canteen.

In the compound, children from dual-income families live like this.

Wang Liansheng looked at his wife and smiled, "Actually, the kids don’t need us to worry too much."

Ling Chengyan looked at his smile and smiled along with him, "That’s good."

After discussing the children’s matters, Ling Chengyan didn’t leave immediately, she took most of the bucket of clams into the kitchen and poured them into a big basin.

These little things are resilient, as long as they’re not cramped together and given some space and air, they can live for several days.

"So many, tomorrow let’s share some with father-in-law and second brother." Wang Liansheng said.

"Did you use flashlights?" Ling Chengyan asked casually.

Wang Liansheng swallowed a mouthful of rice and laughed, "Yes, Xiao Liu brought two big hand lamps, fixed them on rigs, dug a pit for the bucket, and these things climb into the bucket themselves, no need to pick them up."

Ling Chengyan slightly raised an eyebrow and laughed, "Sounds like moths to a flame."

Wang Liansheng laughed, "Many things are phototropic, when I was young, I would make a bonfire next to the woods with village kids, cicadas would fly over immediately, dropping into the fire, and within a night we could gather many cicadas, enough for ten or so kids to feast."

Ling Chengyan saw his eyes filled with joy and laughter, couldn’t help but smile too, while a picture formed in her mind: the night descending, bonfire burning, cicadas’ sharp cries blended, a group of teens gathered around the fire excitedly, some couldn’t resist poking out cicadas from the fire with little sticks, not even waiting to cool them down before popping them into their mouths.

Wang Liansheng indeed laughed, "We hardly had enough to eat back then, everyone was so hungry, grabbing and stuffing into their mouths at once. Do you remember Liu Datou? That kid was the greediest, once he stuffed a cicada into his mouth, bit down, and the cicada even chirped once!"

Ling Chengyan couldn’t help laughing, Wang Liansheng saw her laugh and joined in.

After exchanging a few light-hearted words, they naturally shifted to discussing the coastal wetland inspection, Wang Liansheng shared Professor Bai’s findings with Ling Chengyan, "Professor Bai said, if we want to develop the economy, utilizing resources is inevitable, but to do so wisely and sustainably requires thorough investigation and calculation to avoid overfishing."

Ling Chengyan listened intently and agreed with Wang Liansheng’s commitment and effort.

Ancient hunting refrained from the season of spring when animals thrived and even captured young or pregnant animals were generally released... all to preserve the continuity of life, without exterminating it.

The principle of overfishing and forest burning being unsustainable, was an ancient understanding.

Their rare conversation stretched to late night and surprisingly went very well, when they returned to their room to rest together, still in good spirits.

Early the next morning, Wang Liansheng announced to the young Wang Wenzhang who was playing with clams that he would be going for full daycare, and he wouldn’t be coming home for lunch.

The expected unhappiness or crying didn’t occur, young Wang Wenzhang surprisingly asked, "Are there schools where you don’t come home at night either?"

Recent training tasks were becoming more intense, and if he stayed at school, he wouldn’t be grabbed for morning and evening exercises.

Wang Liansheng turned to look at his wife, they exchanged a glance, then as a father, Wang Liansheng ruthlessly shattered his son’s small hope, "You’re still young, when you go to college you’ll stay at school."

"College?" Young Wang Wenzhang frowned, pondered for a moment, then stretched his chubby little hand to start counting fingers: elementary, middle, college... lost count!

Watching her brother’s confusion, Xiaoxing mercilessly mocked, "You idiot, five years in elementary, three years in junior high and high school each, you have eleven years before college!"

She doubted her brother could even get into college given how clueless he looked. Yet she was a good sister, knowing to care for his self-esteem, not voicing these thoughts.

Young Wang Wenzhang was hit by his sister, angrily retorted, "You’re the idiot."

Then, young Wang Wenzhang was taken by his parents with his little quilt to the daycare center.

Young Wang Wenzhang would have lunch and nap at the daycare center.

The two adults took the child to the classroom, then went to the director’s office to complete the full daycare paperwork.

Leaving the daycare, Wang Liansheng comforted his wife, "Don’t worry too much, the boy is quite brave."

Ling Chengyan looked at him, nodded with a smile. She wasn’t truly worried.

In her understanding, she and her brothers were alike, starting with muscle and bone cultivation around age two or three, and by four or five, beginning formal education with the rest, real winter and summer endurance training, the tiny bit of hardship young Wang Wenzhang faced was nothing here! Far from enough!

At the Special Service Company, Ling Chengyan informed platoon leaders and above to hold a small meeting, the meeting theme was intensive training, summarizing results every week.

Her goal was to seize the time to toughen up the youngsters while also teaching some practical battlefield combat techniques.

Returning from the provincial capital, Yang Hua’s situation winding down, she also could lay down a burden, fully focusing on training.

She aimed to conduct a selection competition inside the Special Service Company before notification arrived, those selected in the top twenty could then apply to go on missions.

These boys under her, each had parents and families behind them, married ones had wives and children, to them, these individuals were each unique and irreplaceable.

She didn’t wish for anyone to be left behind in the south.

She was fully aware this wish was actually impossible to fulfill, but she still would give her utmost effort to make it happen.
