When the group arrived at the Family Compound, Sheng An was doing laundry by the pool downstairs. The little girl never skipped any household chores at ho. She efficiently washed a large basin of clothes, which included not just her own, but also curtains, tablecloths, and the like piled on the ground next to her.
Today, the sisters were at ho preparing for school enrollnt; Sheng Ning was at ho stepping on the sewing machine to make a school bag.
"Oh my, how can we let Sheng An do the laundry?" Principal Feng looked at Xu Qigang reproachfully, "These hands are so precious! How can you handle it like this? It’s simply a misuse of talent to have her here with you."
Xu Qigang was at a loss for words. Since when did it beco a misuse of talent?
The Academic Affairs President was heartbroken, "If the professors knew about this, they’d be devastated. No, we must enroll her imdiately. We can arrange a separate dormitory, and have knowledgeable senior classmates take care of her daily needs."
Xu Qigang and Shen Feihu looked at each other, the aning in their eyes was clear. Since when did the school offer such services?
Especially Shen Feihu, who looked up and down at the Academic Affairs President, wondering if he forgot his dication today, or if teaching had made him dull.
An’an took a mont from her busy work and saw Xu Qigang’s tall figure, casually greeting him, "Brother-in-law, you’re back? My sister just ntioned wanting to keep an eye on you to make sure you don’t sneak off to the training field."
Xu Qigang’s face showed a trace of discomfort.
Recently, his little wife had been following him everywhere, fearing he’d go off to participate in training drills, making everyone in the regint laugh at him.
"Oh? Xiao Li, you’re here?" An’an stood up happily, her hands still covered in laundry detergent bubbles, which she wiped off on her clothes before going to find Feng Xiaoli.
"Let tell you, I asked my sister to make a lot of delicious food. Co over to our place and try it, it’s really, really good."
"Sure! Let’s go now." Feng Xiaoli was so happy to hear Sheng An’s praise that she montarily forgot why she had co today.
"Ahem..." Principal Feng coughed to remind his daughter, seeing her forget the main task.
Feng Xiaoli paused, then smiled apologetically before introducing, "An’an, our school’s principal and Academic Affairs President are here to personally check out your family’s situation."
An’an looked puzzled, "Family situation? Weren’t you here to deliver the enrollnt notice? My sister said I can go to school?"
"Ah?"
"Oh?"
The principal’s mind turned quickly, and he promptly nodded, "Yes, that’s exactly right!" It was unexpectedly smooth, considering the school had seed to intentionally make things difficult before. They originally thought Sheng Ning would surely overcharge or deliberately cause trouble. They had ntally prepared themselves before coming, determined not to let Sheng An go to another school, be it Tsinghua or Beijing University, no matter what.
But the surprise arrived so quickly that they almost couldn’t react.
Hmm! From this, it seed Sheng Ning was indeed very conscientious! Those negative rumors about her outside must be deliberate slander. Tomorrow, he would get the newspaper to publish an article to set the record straight for Sheng Ning.
"That’s good," An’an smiled, "We’re already preparing the school bag."
"Principal, please co inside and have a cup of tea."
Sheng Ning had actually expected the school to send soone, but didn’t expect the principal to co personally. Seeing them enter the living room, she quickly got up to serve tea.
"Principal, please have a seat."
"President, please have a seat."
Principal Feng looked around, nodding slightly at the clean and tidy ho and the warm arrangents.
