Chapter 43 Kindergarten
"Auntie, then I took Xiao Wu to the kindergarten to sign up, don't worry, I've said hello."
Li Dong was holding the little girl in his right hand and a small schoolbag in his left hand, which they bought together yesterday. The little girl is not young anymore, she is five years old this year, and she can't always sell vegetables behind her mother. In the past, the conditions at home did not allow it, and there was no time for pick-up and drop-off, so didn't grandpa and grandpa be there, just enough to share the burden for A-Niang.
"Uh......h Auntie, I don't want to go to kindergarten, I want to help you sell vegetables, and I can shout. The little girl whimpered, her face was full of reluctance, there were delicious food, drinks and fun at home, and she was reluctant to like her grandparents.
"If you don't go, you have to go, anyway, it's more than 200 meters away from home, you are obedient, A-Niang will go to see you when she is free."
Lu Xiumei said strongly, the little girl is in the blessing and does not know the blessing, but if she wants to have a better future in the future, she must start cultivating from an early age, and the threshold of the college entrance examination is not so good.
Look at Dongzi, what a smart person, it's because of the poor conditions at home that he has been delayed. This is a pimple in her heart for the rest of her life, so she doesn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past, Li Bing and them are the same, and they will have to transfer to another school next year.
"Okay, don't cry, there are a lot of children in the kindergarten to play, and there are delicious snacks, potato chips, toffee, dates, peanuts, ......"
Li Dong slowly tempted, he was not lying, most of the people who could live here were middle-class. When it comes to the future education of children, it is natural to strive for excellence, and all conditions are the best.
Sure enough, the little girl forgot to cry when she listened, and her saliva secreted unconsciously. She swallowed hard, it doesn't seem good to go to kindergarten, why don't you try it first?
"This little glutton, when he hears that there is something delicious, he doesn't care about anything." Lu Xiumei suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, and took out a handkerchief to wipe her nose, tears and saliva for the little girl.
Seeing that the little girl no longer refused to go to kindergarten, Li Dong didn't want to give up his efforts, so he immediately put the schoolbag on the little girl's back. In addition to the bento prepared by Lu Xiumei, there were several ripe tomatoes in the schoolbag, which Li Dong secretly stuffed in.
didn't go directly to the kindergarten, Li Dong took the little girl to the decoration company first, and settled the rest of the decoration fee. Yesterday, he looked for someone to see it, the quality is fine, and the price is moderate, and there is not much moisture.
Half an hour later, Li Dong led the little girl to the kindergarten principal's office. The director is an aunt in her thirties, and I don't know if it's because I've been in contact with the children for a long time, but it's quite "cute", with a white and clean little round face, which looks very affinity.
"Hello principal, I was introduced by Team Leader Zhou, and my name is Li Dong. This is my sister, and she's going to school. After Li Dong finished speaking, he handed over the admission application and the little girl's temporary residence card.
The director took it and looked at it, nodded, and then motioned to Li Dong for them to sit down first, and personally poured them two glasses of water, Li Dong quickly stood up and took it with both hands.
"The child is so cute, what's his name, how old is he this year?" The principal turned to the little girl and touched her head.
The little girl was a little scared, looked at Daguo, and Li Dong gave her an encouraging look.
"My name is Li Xiaoyu, and I am five years old this year." The little girl replied with a milky voice.
"Well, that's good, can you count?" The principal asked again.
"Yes, I will even help A-Niang sell vegetables." The little girl replied with a proud face.
Facing the director's puzzled expression, Li Dong hurriedly explained: "I am selling vegetables, and I am just about to open a branch in the community. ”
"Eh, it's amazing at a young age, since Xiaoyu already has a foundation, let her go to middle school, the class is all classmates her age."
"Okay, then it's going to be a hassle with the principal. In the future, when the head of the garden comes to my house to buy vegetables, I will definitely give you a 20% discount. Li Dong took the opportunity to be courteous.
"Then I'm serious, there are many people in the family, and the vegetables I buy every day are not old and young, don't you feel distressed then?" The director joked with a smile.
"Don't worry, even if I lose money, I have to ensure that there are fresh vegetables in your home every day." Li Dong patted his chest and reassured. Although it was just a joke, it also aroused the principal's affection for him.
"Okay, I'll go through the enrollment procedures for Xiaoyu." The director began to fill in the information for the temporary residence card.
"Little Five, thank you soon."
"Thank you, Auntie, Principal." The little girl has been taught by Daguo's words and deeds since she was a child, and that little mouth is also sweet to death.
"No thanks, as long as Xiaoyu studies hard in the future." The principal finally replied.
The formalities are done quickly, after all, kindergarten is not compulsory education, and there is no household registration restriction, which is equivalent to a preschool training institution. Of course, those good kindergartens are still very sought-after, just like this one, if it weren't for Team Leader Zhou's greeting, even if you have money, you can't go to it.
"Okay, do you have any tuition fees, it's 1,000 yuan a year. Of course, full care is also OK, including food and accommodation, but the tuition fee will be added by 1,000 yuan. ”
Of course, the principal does not want Li Dong to choose full care, most of the students here are children of government employees, and their parents usually work in the city. Almost half of the students in the kindergarten choose full care, which is far beyond its bearing, and the bigger trouble is the supply of materials, and her hair is gray.
"You don't need to take care of it, there is still a grandfather at home, and I can take care of it." Li Dong took out his wallet and paid the tuition fee happily.
"Alright, I'll take you to class."
……
"Students, there is a new student in our class today, let us welcome her with applause." The principal said hello to the female teacher who was teaching and took the little girl to the podium.
"Bang, Bang......"
"This is Li Xiaoyu, who is five years old this year. Come, Xiaoyu and classmates say hello. ”
The little girl was a little shy and a little scared, and finally popped out three words: "Hello everyone!" ”
"Okay, Xiaoyu, this is your seat. Wang Xiaoxia, take care of your new tablemates. The female teacher instructed that Wang Xiaoxia had just transferred from school at the beginning of the year, and it just so happened that the two could be companions.
"Teacher Li, I see. Li Xiaoyu, you don't have a book yet, let's read it together. "The little girl's textbooks will have to wait two days to come down.
The little girl didn't make a sound, she sat down in her seat cautiously, and secretly looked at the classmates around her, which made her very strange.
"Principal, I'm sorry for your trouble, go slowly."
The director of the garden still has something to do, so he said a few words to Li Dong and left, after all, he is the head of a garden, and he is usually very busy.
"Little five, listen to the teacher obediently, the eldest brother will go back first, and A-Niang will come back to pick you up after school." Li Dong wants to go to the city to rent a warehouse, just like Tanggou Town, as a transit station for space.
"Uh......h Even if you want to go home, even if you want a mother. When the little girl heard that Daguo was leaving, she immediately cried urgently, shouting to go home, no matter how much she persuaded her.
"Brother Xiaoyu, you better stay and stay with her for a while, and when she gets acquainted with her classmates, it will be fine." The female teacher has seen this situation a lot, and suggested on the side.
"Okay, this doesn't bother you in class, right?" Li Dong had no choice but to stay temporarily, and it seemed that the matter of the warehouse could only be delayed until tomorrow.
Li Dong was arranged by the female teacher in the last row of the classroom, and the little girl finally stopped crying when she saw that Daguo was not leaving. The kindergarten curriculum is still very simple, except for games, most of them are some simple literacy and writing and the addition and subtraction of single digits.
When it was time for lunch, Li Dong was cheeky and shared the lunch box with the little girl. Fortunately, Lu Xiumei prepared enough portions, plus a few tomatoes, barely half full.
Li Dong glanced at the other children's lunches, his own food was still good, there were vegetables and meat, all of which the little girl usually liked to eat. As for the full-day lunch provided by the school, it is a little worse, after all, it is a big pot of rice, and you can't ask for too much.
The relationship between the little girl and her table progressed quickly, and the two of them also tasted each other's bento at lunch. The little girl finally gave a tomato to Wang Xiaoxia, and it can be seen that she is very happy to meet new friends.
In the afternoon, the little girl still didn't leave with a big fruit, and Li Dong could only stay for another afternoon. After school, Li Dong tried to discuss with the little girl, maybe she had a new friend, or she adapted to kindergarten life. In short, after Li Dong signed a series of unequal treaties, he promised to go to school alone tomorrow.
"Dongzi, why are you here, aren't you going to the city to do errands?" Lu Xiumei was puzzled when she saw her eldest son and the little girl come out together.
"Alas, this little five, I'm scared alone, so I stayed with me for a day." Li Dong said helplessly.
"Hmph......" I don't know if she was angry or shy, the little girl threw herself into A-Niang's arms.
"Okay, it's all big girls, our little five are the most well-behaved, not like the eldest brother said, isn't it?" Lu Xiumei found the little girl to go down the stairs, and when she grew up, she knew that she wanted to face.
"Yes, tomorrow I will go to school by myself." The little girl shouted loudly, wanting to prove herself to A-Niang.
Li Dongguan smiled, and said earlier, he had promised so many conditions in vain. The little girl obviously did it on purpose, and she didn't know who she learned from, so it was getting harder and harder to deal with.
