Transmigration: From Dragon Princess To Pampered Granddaughter
Chapter 412 - 413 A Bit Regretful

Chapter 412: Chapter 413 A Bit Regretful

Yet Helian Qiao tilted her petite chin up, simply stating, "I can walk myself."

Her soft lilt sounded quite spirited.

Chen Jianjun could only relent with a sense of regret, watching as the two little hands clasped together, the pair jouncing merrily in front of him. He calculated internally, in a couple of years when his daughter has grown up, he’d have to teach her not to let the boys hold her hand.

The group walked for another 10 or so minutes before they finally arrived at the school. Both children and adults had already filled up the entrance.

Besides Sanqiao Commune, a good number of kids from nearby communes were present, too.

The youngest were around seven or eight years old while the oldest were around twelve or thirteen. Most of them were boys; girls were much less common.

Among them, only Helian Qiao and Gu Tingyun were the youngest and best-dressed, boasting the fairest and most beautiful complexion – they were definitely the brightest kids on the block!

So naturally, they attracted all eyes upon arrival.

The chubby Little Princess was exceptionally eye-catching.

Seeing her for the first time, adults from other communes were astounded – it wasn’t often one saw such a healthy white child in the rural parts, let alone a girl!

Could this little one be from the city?!

A few who recognized the Chen family elders greeted them: "Aunt Chens, are you here to send the little one to school as well? We haven’t seen her for a while now, she looks even more blessed!"

Ma Xiulian always had a smile ready for whoever complimented her granddaughter: "Indeed, it’s good for kids to learn some books."

Meanwhile, Chen Jianjun went off to queue and register the two kids.

Gu Tingyun clung to his toy hamster, standing far away on an open ground. The crowd was too rowdy for his liking.

Witnessing the boisterous children laughing and playing in front of her, Helian Qiao started to have second thoughts.

So many wee little humans gathered together – if they started crying, it would be a dreadful sight.

Thankfully, three teachers arrived shortly, using a loudspeaker to call out, "Quiet down, everybody! We’re going to divide the classes now."

The few communes had sent about a hundred children to the school in total. They were divided into three classes based on their ages: seven to eight, nine to ten, and eleven to thirteen. Each class was taught by one of the three teachers at the school.

All three teachers were from Helian Qiao’s commune. After all, it’s only wise to keep resources within one’s own circle.

The priority was to find youth from their own commune. On normal days, the children of their commune would receive the extra care at school.

One of them was Li Zhiqing who had named Helian Qiao. Seeing him, the Little Princess asked in her baby voice, "Uncle Li, are you also coming to school?"

In the eyes of the three-hundred-year-old Little Princess, humans in their thirties were not old at all.

Li Zhiqing replied with a kind smile, "Uncle Li is here to teach you all how to read,"

He especially adored this intelligent, well-behaved, and lively little girl.

After his statement, he tousled her soft hair, reminding her, "Little Treasure, you can’t call me Uncle Li at school anymore. You have to call me Mr. Li."

Helian Qiao blinked, smoothly changing her address to, "Mr. Li."

Ma Xiulian enjoyed watching the interaction of the two, and was glad to know that Li Zhiqing would be there at school to look after her.

In the end, the classes were divided based on ages: Dani, Dabao, and Erni were in Class 2, while Erbao, Sanni, Gu Tingyun, and Helian Qiao were all assigned to Class 3.

Before entering the classroom, Chen Jianjun told his little girl, "Little Treasure, Dad will come pick you up and we’ll have lunch together at home."

With her short legs, walking would take her a long time. The journey to school and back home would almost total an hour. He couldn’t bear to make her walk that far.

Gu Tingyun then chimed in, "Little Treasure and I will have lunch together at the factory canteen."

The radio factory was closer to the school. They could finish their meal and even sneak in a nap afterwards.
