I didn't get why she would let both boys alone while spending a few days on a surgery and recovering from it. Even if only for 24 hours. Would anybody responsible mother let her children, 9 year olds, alone in an out-of-the-way countryside house with no one to babysit or look after them?

Absolutely nothing indicates that they were by themselves when she was away.
Fine, fine, I'll leave! But first I'm going to bother these peanuts! Hmm? Yes? Hmm? HMM?

Spoilers obviously
Lets not forget that there was only one boy. The other one was the boys dead brother, he hadn't let go off. So he was all alone in that house which is even more messed up.

I've had such surgery for removal of skin cancers. It was outpatient, and I was home within five or six hours. Also, perhaps there was someone staying with the kid who was simply not shown.

There has got to be scars after a surgery, the lady doesn't seem to have any.
