A reborn mother longs for her daughter's happiness.

Chapter 297 When the Mythical Beasts Meet a Safety Education Lesson

As usual, sunlight streamed in through the gaps in the curtains, casting golden dapples on the living room floor of Li Yuan's home. Li Yuan, this sprightly middle-aged woman, stood in the center of the living room, looking at the group of energetic little monsters before her. She took a deep breath and silently thought, "Today, I'd better make sure this safety education lesson is done well!"

The eldest daughter, Li Shiqing, and Zhang Chen's son, Zhang Zirui, is eight years old. At this mischievous and curious age, he's currently running around the living room with a toy water gun, imitating gunfight sounds: "Da da da!" The second daughter, Liu Yixin, and Fu Yu's daughter, Fu Xingyao, is seven years old. A clever little girl with two ponytails, her eyes darting around, she's watching Zhang Zirui intently, wondering how to join his "battle." The third son, Liu Qicheng, and Yang Xuexue's twins, Liu Nianchen and Liu Nianxi, have just turned six. They stand hand-in-hand to the side, watching their older siblings play, their faces filled with innocent yet expectant smiles.

"Kids, stop making a ruckus!" Li Yuan raised her voice, trying to drown out the children's noise. But Zhang Zirui was engrossed in his game and didn't hear his grandmother at all, still absorbed in his own "battlefield." Li Yuan shook her head helplessly, walked over, and gently took the water gun from Zhang Zirui's hand. "Zirui, stop playing for a bit. Grandma's going to give you a super fun lesson today!"

"What kind of class is it, Grandma? Is it more fun than my water gun fight?" Zhang Zirui asked, blinking his big eyes with a puzzled look.

"Of course! This lesson will make you stronger and teach you how to protect yourselves!" Li Yuan said mysteriously.

"Wow, really? I want to learn! I want to learn!" Fu Xingyao immediately became interested upon hearing that she could become even more powerful, and she grabbed Li Yuan's hand and pleaded.

Liu Nianchen and Liu Nianxi nodded in agreement, saying in their childish voices, "We want to learn too!"

Looking at the children's adorable faces, Li Yuan smiled and said, "Alright, everyone sit down, Grandma is about to start the lesson! Today we'll start with sex education."

Upon hearing the words "sex education," Zhang Zirui immediately perked up, sat up straight, and asked loudly, "Grandma, what is sex education? Is it like knowledge as amazing as Superman's?"

Li Yuan laughed heartily at Zhang Zirui's question and patiently explained, "Sex education is about helping you understand your own bodies and know the differences between boys and girls. For example, the body structures of boys and girls are different."

"I know, I know!" Fu Xingyao answered quickly, "Boys pee standing up, and girls pee squatting down!"

Upon hearing this, the children burst into laughter.

Li Yuan smiled and nodded, saying, "Xingyao is right, that's a very obvious difference between boys and girls. Also, some parts of our bodies are very private, we can't just show them to others or let others touch them, understand?"

"Why, Grandma?" Liu Nianchen asked curiously.

“Because these private parts are very important, we must protect them well. If anyone tries to touch your private parts, no matter who it is, you must say ‘no’ loudly, then run away quickly and tell your parents or other trusted adults, understand?” Li Yuan said earnestly.

The children nodded, seemingly understanding. Zhang Zirui suddenly stood up and said seriously, "Grandma, I remember! If anyone dares to touch my private parts, I'll shoot them with a water gun!" As he spoke, he even made a shooting gesture.

Li Yuan was both amused and annoyed. "Zirui, you can't shoot people with water guns. In this situation, you should protect yourself first, and then seek help from an adult."

Next, Li Yuan told the children some basic knowledge about physical development. The children listened with great interest and asked some innocent and cute questions from time to time, keeping Li Yuan busy.

After finishing her sex education lesson, Li Yuan took a sip of water, cleared her throat, and said, "Alright, children, next we're going to learn something even more important—safety education. For example, fire prevention, water safety, and theft prevention."

"I know about fire prevention!" Zhang Zirui chimed in again. "We can't play with fire, or we'll burn the house down!"

“Yes, Zirui is absolutely right,” Li Yuan said approvingly. “Although fire can bring us a lot of convenience, such as cooking and keeping warm, it can also become very dangerous if we are not careful. If you encounter a fire, first of all, stay calm, cover your mouth and nose with a wet towel, bend down, and quickly leave along the safety passage. Never take the elevator, because the elevator may malfunction during a fire.”

"What if we don't have a wet towel, Grandma?" Fu Xingyao asked.

"Hmm... If you don't have a wet towel, you can use clothes or other fabrics instead, to minimize the inhalation of smoke," Li Yuan replied.

"I've got it!" Fu Xingyao said, patting her chest.

"What about waterproofing, Grandma? Does waterproofing mean you can't spill water on the ground?" Liu Nianxi asked in her childish voice.

Li Yuan said with a smile, "The main point of this message is to tell everyone that you shouldn't play in dangerous bodies of water, such as rivers, ponds, and reservoirs. The water may look calm, but there could be many hidden dangers underneath, and you could easily drown. If you want to go swimming, you must go to a safe swimming pool accompanied by your parents."

"But I really want to play in the water, Grandma," Liu Nianchen said, sounding a little aggrieved.

“Of course you can play in the water! We can play in the bathtub at home or go to the water park with Mom and Dad, but you must be careful, okay?” Li Yuan said, patting Liu Nianchen’s head.

"Okay, Grandma, I understand!" Liu Nianchen smiled happily.

"Next is theft prevention," Li Yuan continued. "If you're home alone and someone knocks on the door, never open it. First, look through the peephole to see who it is. If you don't recognize them, ignore them and don't tell them you're home alone."

"What if a bad guy says he's a deliveryman, Grandma?" Zhang Zirui asked.

“If it’s a delivery person, you can tell them to leave the package at the door and wait for your parents to come back to pick it up. If they don’t leave or do anything suspicious, call your parents immediately or call the police,” Li Yuan patiently explained.

"Do we call 110 to report a crime, Grandma?" Fu Xingyao asked.

“Yes, Xingyao is so smart! 110 is the emergency number. If you encounter danger, dial 110 immediately and tell the police officer where you are and what happened,” Li Yuan said.

"But what if I can't remember my home address?" Liu Nianxi asked with a worried look on her face, her little brows furrowed.

"It's okay, baby," Li Yuan comforted her. "You can memorize Mommy and Daddy's phone number first. When the police call, just tell them your number and they'll be able to find you. You can also ask Mommy and Daddy for our address more often, and you'll gradually remember it."

"Grandma, what should I do if bad people kidnap me?" Zhang Zirui suddenly asked nervously. Upon hearing this question, the other children also showed expressions of fear.

Looking at the children, Li Yuan said earnestly, “Children, don’t be afraid. If you really encounter bad people trying to grab you, you must try your best to resist. You can scream loudly to attract the attention of those around you, or you can kick or grab the bad people. If you are grabbed by a bad person, don’t cry or make a fuss. Save your energy and find a chance to escape. For example, when a bad person is taking you into a car, you can take advantage of his inattention and suddenly open the car door and run out. If you can’t escape, remember what the bad person looks like, what they are wearing, the license plate number, and the places they have passed through. When you have the chance, tell the police.”

"But what if I forget, Grandma?" Fu Xingyao said, her voice trembling with tears.

“No, baby. As long as you calm down and try to remember, you’ll definitely be able to. And Mommy, Daddy, and the police officers will do everything they can to find you. So, no matter what danger you encounter, don’t give up hope, okay?” Li Yuan encouraged.

The children nodded emphatically, their eyes shining with determination.

Just then, the doorbell rang. The children tensed up immediately, and Zhang Zirui whispered, "Grandma, is a bad guy coming?"

Li Yuan smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, Grandma will go see." She walked to the door and looked through the peephole. It was Grandma Wang from next door who had come to borrow something. Li Yuan opened the door, chatted with Grandma Wang for a few minutes, lent her the things, and then returned to the living room.

“Children, look, it was just Grandma Wang who came to borrow something, she wasn’t a bad person. So, don’t scare yourselves, but you still need to be vigilant,” Li Yuan said.

After this lively and engaging safety education lesson, the children seemed to have matured considerably and gained a deeper understanding of self-protection. Looking at the children, Li Yuan felt a surge of satisfaction. She knew that her efforts today had not been in vain, and that this knowledge might one day truly help the children avoid danger.

Meanwhile, the living room was filled with the children's laughter again. Zhang Zirui and Fu Xingyao were having their water gun battle, while Liu Nianchen and Liu Nianxi cheered them on happily. Li Yuan watched the lively scene, smiled, shook her head, and went into the kitchen to prepare a hearty lunch for the children. This day, though full of challenges, was also brimming with happiness and warmth.
