"Professor Yang has spoken to them," Dr. Xi said that since they invited him to do research work, he had to take responsibility for everything about him."
As soon as Shitou finished speaking, Xia Xiao was speechless, everything included his daughter.
Dr. Xi was a researcher of nuclear weapons and other important research personnel. Xia Xiao didn’t understand much about nuclear weapons, so the extraction of nuclear elements ultimately depended on Dr. Xi and others. Xia Xiao opted out of the nuclear weapons research.
"Then you should take more care of Xiao Shan Yue." Now that she was in charge of the energy stone research, and Dr. Xi was the main researcher, Xia Xiao could only ask Shitou to look after Xiao Shan Yue a bit.
Such a clever and sensible little girl, having such a father, it was hard to say whether it was Xiao Shan Yue’s fortune or misfortune.
On the way home, Shitou said, "It would be nice if Beibei and Xiao Shu were also studying here."
How could Xia Xiao not wish for that! Their family currently belonged to the middle tier, and if they included marital relationships, they could barely squeeze into the upper-middle tier, but that also attracted a lot of attention.
Moreover, not to mention that Gao Jiaxing’s last promotion was blocked, the Gao family couldn’t dare to push other grandchildren into the spotlight given that just having Shitou at home drew attention from various factions wanting to kidnap him.
In the end, it was still a matter of insufficient strength; the Gao family’s foundations were shallow.
If people knew that Beibei, Xiao Shu, Huanhuan, Lele, Jianjian, and Kangkang all had high IQs, it would be quite dangerous. Children were easier to control than adults, naturally attracting some sinister organizations’ attention.
Although the Genius Youth Class did a good job in student safety, they couldn’t be without a sense of crisis; it was still better to be cautious.
Xiao Shu and Shitou, Beibei were of the same age and were now six years old; Huanhuan and Lele were five, Jianjian, Kangkang, Feiling’s Yangyang and Liangliang, and Xinxin all were four. Apart from Beibei who went to school at Feiyang and Li Min’s, the rest of the grandchildren and granddaughters all attended the same kindergarten.
When Xia Xiao returned this time, she saw that both Feiteng and Yu Jialin were at home, and several grandchildren were being punished by standing.
"What happened here?" Xia Xiao asked.
Yu Jialin was about to speak when Feiteng said, "Mom, you ask them; they might have endured a lot today."
"What did you all do?" Xia Xiao asked the children standing against the wall.
Seeing Xia Xiao and Shitou return, the grandchildren were very happy, eagerly saying, "Grandma, big brother, we fought at school today."
"Why did you fight?" Xia Xiao asked.
Xiao Shu said, "A chubby classmate from the middle class used to bully Jianjian and Kangkang and got taught a lesson by me and Beibei. Today, he pulled Xinxin’s braid. He has an older brother in the senior class; after fighting the younger, the older came to fight the oldest, and they even called a bunch of kids to beat us."
Shitou then asked, "Did you win?"
"Of course we won." Jianjian couldn’t help lifting his chin proudly.
Lele nodded, "They are from one big compound, have more people, but so do we, we all charged, and they were not enough to fight back."
Xia Xiao massaged her forehead; this had turned into a group fight.ощ However, seeing that the grandchildren were alright, Xia Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.
"How about Yangyang, Liangliang, and Xinxin?" Xia Xiao asked.
Feiteng said, "The teacher called me, and when I went to school, Jing Hao also came. Jing Yao and Feiling were not there; Jing Hao took them back."
"Are they alright?" Xia Xiao was also concerned about the situation of Yangyang, Liangliang, and Xinxin.
"They’re alright," Feiteng said before adding, "Our kids are not so easily bullied."
Yu Jialin said, "When we got there, the parents of those kids were also there, but it was their kids who were wrong in the first place, just that those few kids..."
"Was it serious?" Xia Xiao asked.
"They hit the face when fighting; those kids all had swollen noses and faces, and there were several scratch marks on their faces, but luckily all were external injuries, nothing major," Feiteng explained the situation.
Xia Xiao nodded; children fighting was somewhat normal, but it would be problematic if it got serious. Xia Xiao did not wish for serious incidents to occur, but she also didn’t want to see her grandchildren bullied. She took out her phone from her purse and saw several missed calls from a teacher.
Just as Xia Xiao was about to speak sternly to the grandchildren, Feiteng asked them, "Do you know where you went wrong?"
"We shouldn’t hit the face."
"We shouldn’t hit the body."
"Yes, we should have tied them up and taken them to see the teacher."
"Right, right, that’s a good plan. Next time someone bullies us, we’ll do just that."
"Or find a place next time where no one notices and beat them so the teacher and classmates don’t see."
"Right, if they dare to bully us, we’ll beat them so bad their parents won’t recognize them."
"That’s right, with us here, they won’t get to rule the school."
...
Xia Xiao was dumbfounded. Were these still kindergarten students? Could it be that nowadays kindergarten students were all so fierce?
Thinking this, she heard Huanhuan say, "I hate that chubby kid the most, always bragging that his dad is a JC."
Lele nodded, "Exactly, that chubby kid also wanted me and Huanhuan to be his girlfriend. Seeing Xinxin, he wanted Xinxin to be his girlfriend too, constantly changing girlfriends."
Huanhuan continued, "So, I scratched his face up till he cried miserably today."
Xia Xiao didn’t even know what to say anymore, shocked by her grandchildren. Feiteng and Yu Jialin’s mouths twitched, speechless, somewhat failing to understand the children’s world.
Feiyi and Li Manzi both came back after receiving calls, Feiyi hearing Huanhuan and Lele’s conversation completely agreed, "Right, next time you run into such a rascal male classmate, just beat him up."
At this moment, Feiyi was very glad he had let his daughter learn martial arts; self-defense was a priority.
Later that evening, Jing Yao and Feiling brought the kids over; Yangyang, Liangliang, and Xinxin were completely unaffected by the day’s events at the kindergarten. They were very happy to play with their siblings.
Feiling chuckled; she and Jing Yao were very angry and worried when they heard that the children were bullied at school, but they never thought the kids had already put it behind them. They ate what they should, played what they should, and were happy as ever, completely unaffected.
Feiling and Jing Yao also inquired from Jing Hao about the injured children; it was just skin injuries, not too severe. The injured children’s parents initially wanted to make a fuss, but once Jing Hao clarified his identity, knowing their kids had messed with grandchildren of the Jing Family and the Gao family, they also dropped the matter.
However, Jing Hao and Feiteng still paid the medical expenses, and both sides parted on good terms. And that was the end of the matter.
