Chapter 16 Stepmothers should be more attentive to their children
In the blink of an eye, it is the day of the start of kindergarten.
Early in the morning, Shen Baolan went out with her stepson Zhou Hao in her arms, ready to send him to kindergarten, and just a few steps out of the door of the unit building, she met Shen Mingzhu, who also sent Pei Ziheng to kindergarten.
Today, Shen Mingzhu wore a printed sleeveless shirt, with a khaki hip-wrapping mid-skirt underneath, a fork on the side of the skirt, a snow-white half-cut thigh looming, her hair loosely tied behind her head, and a red plastic hairpin pinned, not to mention how graceful it was.
Pei Ziheng is also not badly dressed, a brand-new striped navy shirt, apricot-colored shorts underneath, and blue and white sneakers on his feet, not to mention more energy.
Shen Baolan looked down at herself again, a blue cloth top, black bell bottoms, plastic sandals, and a thick braided braided back of her head.
This dress is decent, and I can't find anything wrong, but compared with Shen Mingzhu, it looks inexplicably rustic.
Look at his stepson Zhou Hao again, he wears an ordinary white cloth shirt and blue shorts, and he is neat and clean, but he is not as energetic as Pei Ziheng.
Moreover, Shen Mingzhu's complexion is much better than her.
In the past few days since she married into the Zhou family, she has to get up at 6 o'clock in the morning to cook breakfast for the family, and after cooking, she has to feed her stepson first, so that it is her turn to serve the dishes, wash the dishes, wash and mop the floor after eating, go out to buy vegetables, except for the afternoon sleep meeting, she is so busy almost every day that her feet do not touch the ground.
And Shen Mingzhu is radiant, at first glance, he eats and sleeps well, and he doesn't do any work.
But it doesn't matter, let Shen Mingzhu be proud for a while, and wait for half a year, when Shen Mingzhu will cry.
Thinking like this, Shen Baolan felt much better.
"Mingzhu, do you think we were enemies in our last life? When I was a child, I grew up in the same village, and when I grew up, I married into the same family home, and now these two children are studying in the same kindergarten. ”
Shen Mingzhu responded casually, "It's quite a coincidence." ”
When the two were chatting, Pei Ziheng and Zhou Hao were also competing with each other.
Zhou Hao, who was hugged by Shen Baolan, obviously had a bit of pride and show off on his face, "Pei Ziheng, your stepmother doesn't hug you and lets you walk by yourself, you are so pitiful." ”
Shen Mingzhu and Shen Baolan were both stunned.
Shen Baolan pretended to compensate for her stepson, "Oh, children are not sensible, Mingzhu, don't take it to heart, Xiao Heng, Xiao Hao is joking with you." ”
Shen Mingzhu rolled her eyes, and was about to say that Pei Ziheng didn't need to be hugged, when she heard Pei Ziheng say: "I'm not a cripple, I can go by myself." ”
The implication is to ridicule Zhou Hao for going to school and being hugged by adults, it is difficult to be a cripple.
Zhou Hao's mouth was flattened, tears were wrapped in his eyes, and he was about to cry in the next second.
Zhou Hao loves to cry and is difficult to coax, every time he cries, he has to coax for a long time, and when he saw Pei Ziheng's two sentences, his stepson cried, and Shen Baolan immediately pulled his face.
"How did Pei Ziheng speak? Who is crippled? Mingzhu how do you teach children? ”
"Children are not sensible, Baolan, don't take it personally. Xiao Hao, Xiao Heng is joking with you, don't cry, ah. ”
Shen Mingzhu returned Shen Baolan's previous words as they were, choking Shen Baolan's dry eyes.
At this time, two more pairs of mother and son came over and greeted Shen Mingzhu and them with a smile.
Seeing Zhou Hao's tears, a mother jokingly asked what was wrong, Shen Baolan was silent with a cold face, and Shen Mingzhu smiled back that the two children had a couple of words.
"Children are like this, they will laugh for a while, Xiaohao, on the first day of kindergarten today, crying nose will be laughed at by other friends."
Although Zhou Hao is young, he also has self-esteem and a strong heart, in order not to be laughed at by everyone, he forcibly held back his crying, and his rabbit-like red eyes kept staring at Pei Ziheng.
Shen Mingzhu quietly pulled her stepson behind her, and said to the other two mothers with a smile, "Let's go, don't be late for the first day." ”
After speaking, he took Pei Ziheng and took the lead.
The other two mothers also followed behind with their babies, and Shen Baolan, who was holding Zhou Hao, fell behind.
Seeing that everyone was holding the baby away, and she was the only one holding her, Shen Baolan also wanted to put her stepson down and let him go by himself.
However, Zhou Hao said that he would not go to the ground, otherwise he would hum and cry, Shen Baolan had to continue to carry and walk, and after a while, he was tired and sweaty.
After leaving the family home, I met several parents who also sent their children to the kindergarten on the road, all of whom were with babies, and it was easy to have a common topic.
"Hey, is your child enlightened?"
Seeing that Shen Mingzhu's mother and son have a good temperament and are also beautiful, a mother took the initiative to talk to Shen Mingzhu.
"No, the child is still young, so don't worry."
"Ouch, you can't think like that, the earlier the enlightenment, the better for the child, and the early enlightenment and the early intellectual development, otherwise you won't be able to keep up when you go to elementary school."
Another mother echoed, "Yes, my child was enlightened at the beginning of the year, and now he can count from 1 to 50, and he can also do addition and subtraction within 10." ”
At this time, Shen Baolan hugged her stepson and came over unto be outdone, "My Xiaohao was enlightened half a year earlier than your family, and he can count to 100, and he can write his own name." ”
After speaking, he threw a provocative glance at Shen Mingzhu, "Mingzhu, as a stepmother, you should be more attentive to your child, don't just care about your own eating, drinking, and enjoyment, ruin your child's life, and be careful of retribution in the future." ”
"Shen Baolan, your family lives by the sea, you have such a wide management, you have only been married into the Zhou family for a few days? Zhou Hao's enlightenment has a relationship with your half a dime? You hold your son well, I don't need you to worry about how I want to manage the child. ”
Shen Baolan was dumbfounded.
She couldn't figure out how Shen Mingzhu said that she would be mad if she was mad, and she didn't leave any emotion, so she wasn't afraid that everyone would see jokes?
At this time, Pei Ziheng, who had been silent, suddenly spoke to Zhou Hao, "Zhou Hao, do you know how many two or two are?" ”
The little Zhou Hao looked dazed, obviously not understanding what Pei Ziheng was talking about.
"How many do you get three?"
"What about five-five?"
Even asked several times, Zhou Hao couldn't answer, Pei Ziheng said the answer loudly, "Twenty-two gets four, three-three gets nine, five-five-twenty-five, seventy-seven forty-nine, ninety-nine eighty-one, it's very simple." ”
All the parents looked at Pei Ziheng in shock and silence, as if they were watching a rare baby.
Shen Mingzhu was surprised and delighted, and couldn't wait to hug Pei Ziheng and kiss him fiercely.
This kid is too long to give her!
"I also said that your child is not enlightened, and he can even memorize the ninety-nine multiplication table."
"Your child looks silent, like a stuffy gourd, and his little head is too smart, and he will definitely have a lot to do when he grows up."
Parents, you and I say one sentence at a time, half sour and half exaggerated.
Shen Mingzhu's heart blossomed, but his mouth was modest, "No, my family Ziheng is a little precocious and has a better memory, I didn't teach it much, he learned it himself." ”
After listening to Shen Mingzhu's words, the parents praised again.
Shen Baolan hugged her stepson, looking at Shen Mingzhu and Pei Ziheng's mother and son, who were held by everyone's stars, her heart was sour and angry.
What's so strange about being able to memorize multiplication tables, as if her Xiaohao can't learn it!
"Xiaohao, when you come home from school in the evening, I will teach you to memorize the multiplication table, and let's compare Pei Ziheng."
"Well, I'm going to learn multiplication tables."
Now Zhou Hao still doesn't understand what the multiplication table is, but after seeing Pei Ziheng reciting the multiplication table, he has been praised by so many people, he thinks it's a good thing, he also wants to learn, and he learned to recite it in public, so that everyone can praise him.
