By the time National Day and Zhou Jiao got back, it was already afternoon. As soon as they walked in the door, they saw Aunt Chen smiling and pointing to Ping'an, who was fast asleep on a small bed in the living room.
"The child just got back from the daycare at noon, and when he got here, he didn't want to leave. There are two caretakers for about twenty kids in his class, and for lunch, they get steamed buns with vegetable and meat soup, plus half a boiled egg each. Their meals are even better than most families'. From now on, I'll take care of the pick-ups and drop-offs, so you can go to school without any worries."
Zhang Guoqing nodded enthusiastically. With these conditions, if he wasn't relieved, it would really be a case of having a screw loose.
"Thank you, Aunt Chen. We're adding to your burden as soon as we get back." Zhou Jiao said gratefully.
