Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 990, ready to go

In front of the first elementary school in Tokyo Metropolitan Minato District. It was almost three o'clock, and it was time for the children to go home from school.

According to the education system of Jiaobenji, the class time for primary and secondary schools usually starts around 8 am and lasts until around 3 pm.

During this period, students will receive learning in various subjects, including Chinese, mathematics, science, society, etc. During this period, the school will arrange a series of teaching activities, such as classroom explanations, experiments, group discussions, etc., to ensure that students can fully grasp the knowledge they have learned.

It is worth noting that although the school's teaching activities end at around 3 pm, it does not mean that students' learning ends there. At Jiaobenji, many students will participate in after-school activities or cram schools to further improve their academic level or cultivate their hobbies. These after-school activities or cram schools may last until 5 pm or even later. Students at Jiaobenji also need to complete homework and pre-study tasks. These tasks usually take a certain amount of time to complete to ensure that students can keep up with the teaching progress and consolidate what they have learned.

Moreover, there are usually not many parents picking up their children at the school gate of Jiaobenji, because the children usually live not far from home, and even if they live a little further, there are school buses to pick them up. As an elementary school in the port area, their school buses are also quite good. Even if there are places where school buses do not pass, there is a public transportation system that can be used.

Schools in Jiaobenji generally do not encourage parents to pick up their children. Usually, children who live in the same area will go home hand in hand, which can not only make them good friends, but also exercise their independence. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.

This is in complete contrast to the situation in our country where the gates of primary and secondary schools are crowded with people during school hours.

Of course, this does not mean that China's approach is wrong. You have to consider the actual situation. Different national conditions will lead to different results.

The first reason is the difference in economic levels. The country did not promote school buses in large cities until after the millennium. Such school buses are still quite rare in general small and medium-sized cities. There is no other way. The country has a large population base and many schools. If they were to be purchased uniformly, it would be a considerable expense.

Also, the domestic public transportation system at that time was not as developed as that of Japan. For the sake of their children's safety, parents had to work a little harder, but there was nothing they could do about it.

The reason is that the national conditions are different. There is no such thing as who is good or bad.

The only difference is that in China, it is usually the grandparents who pick up the children because their parents are at work, but here in Jiaobenji, it is usually the mothers who come to pick up the children after they get married.

So you can see a group of mothers at the school gate here in Jiaopenji, especially at the primary school gate, which is a beautiful landscape. The mothers who come here to pick up their children are generally around 30 years old, and many of the young women are quite beautiful.

When the school bell rings, a group of elementary school boys and girls in uniform come out. After coming out, the children will look for their mothers. If there is no mother to pick them up, they will hold hands and walk towards the school bus or bus stop together according to how far they live.

When Kudo Hideko got off the car, she saw Kudo Shizuka who came out with her child at a glance. There was nothing she could do because Kudo Shizuka was the cutest.

"Shizuka." Kudo Hideko waved at Shizuka.

Little Shizuka was so happy to see her mother coming to pick her up that she ran into her mother's arms.

"Mother,"

After calling her mother "Mom", Shizuka began to introduce her friends to her mother.

"They are Takako, Reiko, and Yue. They are all my good friends!" In a moment, Sayuri struggled out of her mother's arms and introduced three little girls of similar age who were staring at Kudo Hideko eagerly.

Since Shizuka started school, it was basically her grandmother who picked her up and dropped her off for meetings. Kudo Hideko's time at school was limited, so she didn't know these children of Kudo Shizuka very well.

"Hello!" Shizuka Kudo greeted them gently.

"Hello, Auntie~~"

The three little girls were not afraid of strangers and greeted Shizuka Kudo with a smile. However, they also looked at this beautiful aunt curiously and felt that she was much prettier than their mother.

The children there are all the same, with a strong curiosity. And the children in Jiaobenji usually don't give each other gifts, which is a good thing.

If the parents' comparisons are brought to their children, it would be too superficial and boring.

So Kudo Hideko bought an ice cream for each of them and walked towards the station with the children, who held hands, ate ice cream and talked about their own topics.

Kudo Hideko was standing by and looking at them gently.

Not to mention the laughter along the way, after parting with their friends, the two of them walked back and sat in the car. At this time, Shizuka was very happy and gave Hideko a kiss on the face, but after a while she remembered something and spoke a little unhappily.

"Mom, you and Dad can come and pick me up."

"Didn't I tell you that Dad has gone to work at the Flower Farm? He will come back to see you when he has time." Kudo Hideko said.

"You're lying to a child again. I'm not a three-year-old child anymore."

"Yes, yes, you are not three years old anymore." Kudo Hideko spoke while suppressing her unhappiness.

It seemed that Shizuka sensed her mother's thoughts and said, "Dad is busy, so it's okay if he doesn't pick me up, but it would be better if Mom came to pick me up every day."

"That won't do. The teacher will tell Shizuka. Besides, your father likes to be independent. When you grow up, you have to take care of your parents. If you always stay under your father's protection, how can you grow up?"

"Yes! I will try my best!" After hearing that her father was unhappy, Shizuka immediately became serious, with a tense face. She said seriously: "I will also ride a bike to take mom and dad out to play, and then buy you ice cream! By the way, if there are brothers and sisters in the future, Shizuka will learn karate, and I will protect them!"

"Haha! Good boy!"

Kudo Hideko touched her daughter's head and felt more and more sorry for her daughter.

Just when my daughter could remember things, her husband left her and her mother in a car accident. Then there was a lot of mess. Although she was not displaced, she cried a lot because of the company's affairs, and the child cried with her.

I finally found someone I like and who also likes Shizuka. Unfortunately, this person is from a flower-growing family and has a wife at home. But even so, I still fell hopelessly in love with him, and my family is complete. However, after only a few days of good times, he returned home.

Although I have arranged everything for myself, I no longer run around for the company, and my living standard has improved a lot, but the longing is something I can't solve. Especially at night, I still feel quite lonely.
