Spring has arrived, and schools have started. The nearest elementary school to Li Manjun's community is only 300 meters away. When she goes to and from get off work, she can see many laughing primary school students walking together.
The children are lively and bright, and looking at their carefree smiling faces makes people feel that life has become better.
After being bored at home all winter, I couldn't hold it in any longer and wanted to go downstairs to ride a tricycle.
Aunt Guo took her with her when she went out to buy groceries with Liu Juying in the morning.
When Liu Juying went shopping for groceries, she took Niannian on a bicycle ride downstairs in the community.
However, the number of children in the garden suddenly decreased a lot. Every year, she could not find the children from the household who used to play with her every year. Her original cheerful expression gradually dimmed.
Aunt Guo pushed her tricycle, looked at the empty sand pool, then looked at the little girl who was unspeakably disappointed, and said to her with a smile:
"My brothers and sisters have gone to school. They will go to school every year in the future. Then there will be many children to play with you."
Nian Nian squatted on the ground sadly, holding his fleshy cheeks with both hands, "Mom said Nian Nian can't go to kindergarten yet, Nian Nian hasn't grown up yet..."
Aunt Guo said funnyly: "It will be soon, it will be soon."
"How soon is that?" Nian Nian turned to look at Aunt Guo expectantly, "Tomorrow!"
"That's too fast, it's autumn." Aunt Guo patted the tricycle and asked her to come up. She pushed her.
Nian Nian shook his head, it was no fun at all without his little friends to play with.
"Aunt Guo, let's go home." Nian Nian sighed like a young adult, stood up, patted his butt, lowered his head and walked home.
Aunt Guo looked cute and felt distressed, so she said to you: "Go home, can you make your favorite red bean cake for Nian Nian?"
"Okay!" His big eyes lit up immediately and he nodded heavily.
Aunt Guo laughed helplessly. She still had never experienced the hardship of going to school. Just like her children, it was extremely difficult for them to go to school without being late.
Nian Nian doesn't know this. Mom and dad say every day that only the best-behaved babies can go to kindergarten. That is a reward for good babies, and ordinary children cannot go.
Therefore, in the little girl's heart, it is a very honorable thing to go to kindergarten.
Moreover, now everyone goes to kindergarten, so we can’t fall behind every year.
"Mom! Isn't Nian Nian the best-behaved baby?"
Li Manjun came home from get off work. As soon as he opened the door, a meat dumpling flew in front of him.
"I miss my mother so much" Li Manjun asked funnyly.
Niannian Pidianpidian opened the shoe cabinet and helped her mother take out the slippers and put them away, then she looked up and smiled brightly at her mother.
Li Manjun looked at her expectant eyes and patted her little head, "Well, every year is the best-behaved baby in the world, and we are the best-behaved every year."
Nian Nian smiled with satisfaction, pulled her mother's clothes and asked her: "Can Nian Nian go to kindergarten then?"
Li Manjun was stunned and looked up at Aunt Guo. Aunt Guo said with a smile: "I went downstairs to play today. The neighbor's children all went to school. Every year I came home after not playing for a while. Everyone went to kindergarten.
She also wants to go to kindergarten."
Li Manjun understood. He squatted down, his eyes were level with his daughter's, and asked tentatively:
“I want to go to kindergarten every year”
Nian Nian nodded heavily, wringing his fingers a little aggrievedly, "No one is playing downstairs, Nian Nian is alone, it's not fun."
The door lock opened and Zhao Yong came back. Li Manjun turned around and said with a smile: "Niannian said she wanted to go to kindergarten."
"Ah" Zhao Yong was surprised. While changing his shoes, he explained to his daughter: "It will have to be in the second half of the year. You are still too young and the kindergarten will not accept you."
Nian Nian half-understood what he heard, so he puffed up his little chest and said to his father: "Nian Nian is a big girl!"
Zhao Yong suppressed his laughter, picked up the little girl and went to the sofa in the living room. He rubbed her hair and told her the rules for entering the kindergarten.
You don’t just have to go to kindergarten if you want to. In addition to being a good baby, you must be old enough.
Moreover, classes in kindergarten are divided into one semester, and they have to wait until the new semester begins before they can enter the kindergarten.
After listening to it every year, I became even more disappointed. I nestled in my father's generous arms, pouted and said nothing.
Li Manjun came over, kissed the child's little face, and whispered in her ear:
"Mom will take you to kindergarten tomorrow, will you go?"
The little guy pricked up his ears like a rabbit, and his eyes flickered, "Really!"
Li Manjun nodded, "When did mom lie to you?"
I thought about it carefully every year and realized, well...it seems that my mother has not lied to anyone!
"Don't be too happy." Seeing that her daughter was about to jump up, Li Manjun quickly added: "We are just going to check it out first to see if we like it every year. When autumn comes, we will go to the kindergarten that Nian Nian likes."
Little stars lit up every year, and she turned around and said excitedly to her father:
"I'll go to kindergarten tomorrow"
Zhao Yong shook his daughter's pigtails one after another and asked in surprise: "You made an appointment at school?"
"Yeah." Li Manjun also sat down on the sofa, immediately left her father behind and got into her mother's arms. She was her mother's good baby.
"I made an appointment with the school. The school will have an open class tomorrow and you can visit the park."
There are also many activities in public kindergartens. If you go early tomorrow, you can also watch the opening ceremony of the kindergarten. They are all cute children. It is very healing to think about it.
Of course, this is under the premise that they obey the teacher obediently.
Zhao Yong originally had hopes that his daughter would go to the best public kindergarten, but now that he heard Li Manjun's arrangement, his heart has died.
"If you are free tomorrow, let's go together," Li Manjun enthusiastically invited.
Zhao Yong said he had to go no matter what. This was the first time in his daughter’s life that she went to kindergarten.
"I'll bring the video recorder with me. Let's take some more footage and compare it later." Zhao Yong couldn't sit still and got up to get ready.
"Don't worry, eat first, you can clean up later after eating." Li Manjun called him back funny.
Then he said to him: "Tomorrow we will assume that we are sending our children to kindergarten and simulate it in advance."
In fact, what she didn't tell Zhao Yong was that she had prepared a second option.
It was an international kindergarten not too far from home. She also made an appointment so that she could compare the two sides.
Anyway, schools that are not within the route range of her and Zhao Yong’s work routes are excluded.
But there's no rush to tell her now. The international kindergarten hasn't replied to her to confirm the time. She won't have time to tell her when the time is confirmed.
Zhao Yong agreed with Li Manjun’s arrangement of simulation drills in advance.
It's just a pity that he won't be able to sleep well tomorrow.
The next day, the alarm clock rang at half past seven on time.
Li Manjun and Zhao Yong quickly got up from the bed, packed their clothes, and then divided into two groups. Zhao Yong went to pack the things they needed to go out, while Li Manjun went to wake up his daughter.
