After being reborn, I raised my childhood sweetheart.

Chapter 23 Physical Examination (Please read on! Please vote!)

Xia Ke's liveliness and cheerfulness left a very deep and positive impression on Xu Jingguang.

Of course, compared to Xia Ke's extroverted nature, the introverted Lin Yueyao seemed somewhat awkward.

So, Xu Yuan also served food to Lin Yueyao and poured her a drink at the dinner table.

He cared for her like an older brother.

Of course, this harmonious and loving scene was also noticed by Lin Jing, who was busy in the kitchen.

……

Xu Yuan and his son are not the only single-parent families who depend on each other for survival.

After finishing her meal, Xia Ke carried her schoolbag home by herself. Xu Jingguang told her to remember to call when she got home.

Lin Yueyao waited until her mother finished washing the dishes before going home.

On the way home, Lin Jing held her daughter's hand.

The usually quiet daughter was jumping around excitedly today, and even secretly told her mother that Xu Yuan wanted to ask her to be his Chinese teacher.

As for the matter of Xu Yuan offering her a salary, since it was only one yuan, Lin Yueyao remembered how Xu Yuan had scolded her for similar things before, so she refrained from saying anything this time.

She simply couldn't accept losing Xu Yuan, her good friend.

"Then you'll have to teach Yuanyuan Chinese properly and help him write his characters well."

"Yeah, I will!"

Looking at her daughter bouncing around, Lin Jing finally couldn't help but ask:

"By the way, I saw Yuanyuan kept putting food on your plate while she was eating."

Lin Jing exposed the unspoken secret between Lin Yueyao and Xu Yuan, and Lin Yueyao was very embarrassed, immediately blushing and stammering.

"Yes... he was very kind to me because he knew I was still a little afraid of Uncle Xu."

"But you had a great time eating at Uncle Xu's house, didn't you?"

"Happy, so happy!"

Lin Yueyao looked up at Lin Jing with her head held high, pleading pitifully, "Mom, have dinner with us tomorrow too, that would make me even happier!"

"I don't want my mom to run around cooking at both places, and I don't want to eat alone at home, because I'll be very lonely."

In front of her mother, the daughter would naturally speak her mind freely, which made Lin Jing feel a little sad.

If it weren't for the pressure of making a living, who would want to leave their daughter at home to cook for others outside?

"it is good……"

Lin Jing said with a smile, "Mom, sit down and eat too."

Lin Yueyao immediately smiled happily and waved her mother's hand, waving it even more vigorously.

At this time, Lin Jing had not yet developed any particular feelings for Xu Jingguang, but his son Xu Yuan was indeed very attractive to her and had won her a lot of favor.

Despite being an eight-year-old boy from a wealthy family, he completely lacked the innocence and naivety typical of eight-year-olds.

That gentle, considerate heart, always thinking of others, always feels like a mature quality that comes from experiencing a lot.

The mother and daughter hummed a song as they walked, their long shadows cast by the streetlights gradually disappearing into the night.

This Saturday, Aunt Lin Jing was on vacation and didn't come, and Dad was also busy with work, so Xu Yuan was home alone.

Of course, this was also part of his plan, because today was the day Xu Yuan and Lin Yueyao had arranged to meet alone.

Xu Yuan cooked himself a bowl of instant noodles for breakfast at home and continued to search for information online. Soon he heard a gentle shout coming from outside.

Xu Yuan opened the door and invited Lin Yueyao into the house.

"excuse me……"

"No one's home, don't be afraid of my dad."

After Lin Yueyao followed Xu Yuan in, she reported something to him.

Xia Ke came to my house this morning. She asked me if I wanted to come and play with you.

"Then what do you say?"

Lin Yueyao said, "I said... I wanted to come to your house to help with homework, so she went home first and said she would come over to play in the afternoon."

Not bad, now you're even finding excuses to refuse people.

Growing rapidly!
Is the morning enough time?

Lin Yueyao asked tentatively, "It's... the thing you asked me to do."

"That's enough, of course it's enough. Come inside with me."

"it is good."

"Would you like something to drink?" Xu Yuan said. "I have black tea, green tea, orange juice, cola, and Jianlibao at home."

"I do not need……"

"Please have a seat first, I have some things to take care of."

"it is good."

Lin Yueyao moved a small chair over and sat down next to Xu Yuan.

This was her second time in Xu Yuan's room, but her mindset had changed drastically since the first time.

Although she was still sitting obediently, Lin Yueyao was no longer as restrained as before. She swung her toes and looked around, appearing relaxed and leisurely.

Seeing Xu Yuan skillfully typing on the keyboard with both hands without even looking at the characters, Lin Yueyao found it amazing.

"You can type on a computer...that's amazing!"

"The educational technology class will teach this from the very beginning."

Lin Yueyao stared at Xu Yuan's computer screen; the dense text made her feel a little dizzy.

"Delay...satisfaction with cotton candy...actually...yan?"

After all, he is only in the second grade of elementary school, and he doesn't know many characters yet. Without pinyin, he can't even pronounce them.

"Xu Yuan, what are you doing?"

"I'm looking for some materials that the teacher in the educational technology class needs."

Xu Yuan said, "I am the multimedia committee member in my class, and the teacher assigned me some tasks."

"multimedia?"

"It's about managing equipment like projectors and computers."

"The students in the audio-visual education class are all so amazing..." Lin Yueyao admired Xu Yuan even more. "I don't even know how to turn on a computer."

"You'll know later. I'll teach you slowly when I have time."

"it is good!"

Lin Yueyao always trusted Xu Yuan's words unconditionally, so she was also obediently looking forward to the day when she could use a computer.

"Okay, done."

After Xu Yuan finished organizing the relevant computer data, he turned around and looked at Lin Yueyao, who was still sitting obediently to the side watching him.

Sigh, it's always better to be an honest kid. If Xia Ke were sitting next to me, she would definitely be mischievous and naughty, pressing the power button, secretly pressing my keyboard, or moving my mouse. Just thinking about it gives me a headache.

"Now, shall I begin to help you?"

"Don't stand up, sit down first."

Xu Yuan coughed and then said, "First, let me check your body. Open your mouth so I can see."

Lin Yueyao blushed instantly: "Are you...are you going to play house like a doctor and patient?"

"You can think of this as homework for our educational technology class's extracurricular practice."

Although Lin Yueyao was a little shy, she still opened her mouth to Xu Yuan.

"Open up a little wider, ah—"

"what--"

Xu Yuan held Lin Yueyao's chin and carefully examined the inside of her mouth with a flashlight.

"My molars have a small cavity and I'm still losing my baby teeth, so I'm missing a canine tooth."

“…I left it on the roof. Mom said it will grow back soon,” Lin Yueyao muttered.

"Okay, now stand up, with your hands at eye level like this, and raise them."

"Ah."

Xu Yuan groped Lin Yueyao's body, her back, arms, shoulders, and thighs. He even made Lin Yueyao take off her shoes and reached out to pinch her toes.

Lin Yueyao's face flushed red, but she remained tense and silent, demonstrating an extraordinary level of endurance far beyond that of children her age.

Xu Yuan had Lin Yueyao wet her feet and step on the floor to check for gaps in the footprints in order to make a judgment.

Do you usually have rhinitis? My nose is always stuffy.

"When I have a cold..."

Do you breathe through your mouth or nose at night? Do you sleep with your mouth open?

"No, it won't..."

"By the way, does he still wet the bed?"

"No, no... of course not!" Lin Yueyao said, blushing.

"Well."

Xu Yuan wrote them down one by one, referring to his notebook.

"The initial examination revealed that he has no nearsightedness, no flat feet, no adenoid facies, a few cavities, no buck teeth or malformed teeth, and a slight tendency to hunch over and have uneven shoulders, but his overall health is quite good."

There's nothing particularly wrong with correcting it. "Just remember to walk with your head up and chest out. Walking with your head down and chest hunched over can easily lead to pigeon chest or hunchback."

If all else fails, buy her a posture corrector.

"..."

Lin Yueyao silently put on her socks, then looked up at Xu Yuan.

What's wrong? Are you feeling aggrieved? There are still tears in the corners of your eyes.

I was seriously giving you a physical exam, I didn't mean to bully you at all!
Back in 04, neither parents nor hospitals had modern scientific methods for early examination and correction. They let their children's physical development go unchecked, which later led to physical problems that were difficult to correct for a lifetime.

Xu Yuan was reborn 20 years later. Even though he didn't have children of his own, he would still come across some advertisements or short videos, so he naturally had a lot of parenting knowledge. He combined this with his usual online research and memorized some of the main items for early screening.

You're my childhood sweetheart, and I hope you grow up beautifully so you can be more confident and have a better life.

Lin Yueyao put her socks back on, and while putting on her shoes, she looked up and asked Xu Yuan:
"Is this what you wanted to ask me to do?"

"This is just a side matter; this is the real favor I need to ask you."

Xu Yuan took out several enrollment brochures for extracurricular classes from the drawer and handed them to Lin Yueyao.

“My dad wants me to develop in all aspects, and he always wants me to choose an extracurricular class to attend on weekends.”

"But I don't want to go to any of them. I just like tinkering with the computer at home. So I hope you can help me with the enrollment, so that when my dad calls to ask, the institutions there will have something to say."

"This...this isn't appropriate!"

Lin Yueyao habitually refused, "What if Uncle finds out?"

"I told you I'd protect you, so don't worry. Just focus on helping me with my lessons."

……

Lin Yueyao looked troubled.

This was within Xu Yuan's expectations.

Of course, this is not something to be expected to follow the rules, and it's normal that she's afraid of being scolded by her parents.

"It's okay, you don't have to force yourself."

Xu Yuan smiled and patted Lin Yueyao's head. "If you really can't accept it, I'll ask Xia Ke for help."

“She might have some courses that interest her, like Taekwondo or something... but I’m afraid she’ll only be enthusiastic for a short time and definitely won’t have the perseverance you have, so I still hope you can help me.”

Upon hearing that she might lose the opportunity to help Xu Yuan, Lin Yueyao became anxious: "I... I can!"

If you don't have enough people, there are plenty of others who can. The capitalists' methods are truly ingenious.

"Then take a good look...and see if there are any extracurricular classes you like."

Before handing Lin Yueyao the flyer, Xu Yuan reminded her, "Same rule as always, don't choose based on price. First, you have to be interested in it yourself and be able to help me attend the classes. Got it?"

"I know, I know..."

Looking at the extracurricular classes in front of her, Lin Yueyao thought for a moment, then handed Xu Yuan a flyer.

“I want to learn this.”

The flyer in Lin Yueyao's hand was an enrollment brochure for the piano class at Lantian Children's Art Education.
