Chapter 78 Nian Nian doesn't want to go to school

"Look, this is the game area, with all kinds of toys, and this is the classroom, which can accommodate many children..."

Shi Guilin held a tablet computer playing an introduction video of Changying Kindergarten, and explained the contents of the video to Nian Nian one by one.

As soon as the hot August began, he searched for kindergartens in Hai City one by one, got to know them one by one, and visited the few that he liked.

Now, those who can be picked out by Shi Guilin to show Nian Nian all meet his standards.

"What do you think, Nian Nian? Do you really want to go?"

After the promotional video of Changying Kindergarten was played, Shi Guilin, a parent who respected his child, asked Nian Nian for her opinion.

In order to prepare for the future and cultivate the little one's enthusiasm for going to school, he embellished his commentary, hoping that at least one of these kindergartens would be able to "seduce" Nian Nian.

“The kindergarten is so big.”

The video was long, and the transitions between the various activity areas were dizzying. When Shi Guilin asked this, he suddenly had no idea what to do, but he sincerely thought the kindergarten was huge.

"That's right." Shi Guilin followed his words and persuaded him patiently, "Kindergarten is a school. If it's not big enough, Nian Nian and the other children will have no place to study and play together."

"Does Nian Nian like this kindergarten?"

"I like it." Nian Nian nodded and asked, "Then, does Yuanyuan also want to go to kindergarten?"

“…Yuan Yuan doesn’t come.”

Shi Guilin avoided the main point and took advantage of the fact that the little boy had no idea of ​​the age gap and said, "Yuanyuan is younger than you and is not old enough to go to school yet. Your brother and aunt, like you, started school at the age of three."

"Oh." Nian Nian, wearing a short-sleeved shirt, scratched her chubby arm and pointed to the kindergarten on the tablet. "Nian Nian, do you go here every day?"

"Not every day. You're just like my brother and aunt, working five days and resting two days. You go in the morning and go home in the evening."

Shi Guilin showed great patience and gently explained the school schedule to the little girl who was about to go to school.

Unexpectedly, Nian Nian frowned: "Nian Nian is going to school alone? Is Papa going?"

“…”

This was a tricky question, and Shi Guilin felt even more stressed. Worried about the child becoming bored with school, he said politely, "Going to school is about developing independence, so adults can't help. But Papa can accompany you to the school gate."

"At the door?" Nian Nian had a sad face.

How could the kid who had been sticking to Shi Guilin all day endure such hardship? He was immediately unhappy, "Papa lied to me. He wanted to send Nian Nian to kindergarten, but Nian Nian refused to go."

"Papa, please stop nagging me, wuwuwu..."

He howled so sadly, as if Shi Guilin really didn't want him anymore.

Shi Guilin was already heartbroken that Nian Nian was abandoned by her irresponsible parents, and he couldn't bear to hear him say these words. He put down the tablet, hugged the child and coaxed him:

"Daddy loves you so much that he can't say goodbye to our good little Nian Nian. My brother and aunt are in kindergarten too, and everyone still loves them very much. No one would want to leave them, right?"

Nian Nian, sobbing, hugged Shi Guilin tightly, fearing that she would be thrown into kindergarten immediately. She said pitifully, "Well...but, it's been too long, Nian Nian misses dad, I miss being home..."

Nian Nian, who can only see Shi Linzhuo at night during school, has a deep understanding of how long the school day is.

If he goes to kindergarten, he won't be able to see his father all day.

"It's indeed a bit long..." Shi Guilin, who doted on his child, was almost carried away by Nian Nian's thoughts, and even wavered in Nian Nian's belief in going to school.

How about putting it off for a year? Nian Nian is still young after all...

No, no.

He closed his eyes and shook his head, getting rid of the thought. He couldn't be a father who spoiled his child.

Shi Guilin lowered his head and was about to say something, but when he met Nian Nian's big eyes, which were shining with water and red, he swallowed his words back.

Oh, I really can't bear to leave.

There was a cloud of worry between his brows, but out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of a figure flashing by the open door of the bedroom.

Shi Guilin recognized him with his sharp eyes: "Lin Zhuo? Where are you running to? Come back."

Shi Linzhuo paused, then turned around and walked over with a grin on his face. After stopping, he feigned ignorance: "Uncle, why are you calling me?"

"Stop pretending. You've been standing at the door eavesdropping for a while now."

Nian Nian looked at Shi Linzhuo blankly. Did her brother eavesdrop?

"No, I was just lingering at the door. What a scholar does is not stealing."

He had originally planned to come in directly to see if the little one had chosen a kindergarten. But Nian Nian suddenly started crying, and Shi Guilin was busy trying to comfort her. It was almost a mess inside, so why would he go in and add to the chaos?

"It's just right, you come and talk to Nian Nian about the benefits of going to school."

His tone of command suddenly changed, and it was gentle as water: "Let's listen to what our brother has to say, okay? He has been in school for a long time."

Nian Nian bit her lower lip and hummed softly.

Shi Guilin felt relieved upon seeing this. Fortunately, the child hadn't shown any extreme resistance to going to school.

Strike while the iron is hot, Shi Guilin raised his chin towards Shi Linzhuo and said, "It's time for you to go on stage. Tell your brother how happy you are at school."

Shi Linzhuo, a hard-working student about to enter his second year of high school: "..."

"Okay. Let me think about it." Shi Linzhuo rubbed his nose and pondered, "The benefits of going to school... the benefits... going to school... uh..."

He was a bit speechless.

One unexpected benefit was that the stupid teacher, stupid classmates, and stupid school rules actually made a circle in his mind. The harder he thought about it, the clearer it became.

He pinched the bridge of his nose: "Uh..."

A bit embarrassing.

Nian Nian's eyes as she stared at Shi Linzhuo gradually changed from desire to doubt.

"elder brother?"

Why don’t you say it yet?

Shi Guilin's face became darker and darker, and his eyes pierced Shi Linzhuo like sharp and cold icicles.

"What are you usually busy with at school?" He was furious, disappointed with his students. "You can't even pass on your experience?"

He was still hoping that Shi Linzhuo could awaken Nian Nian's love of learning.

Shi Linzhuo's eyes dodged: "Just... go to school, do homework and listen to lectures. What are the advantages and disadvantages? It's too hypocritical..."

He went to school step by step, and just had to show Shi Lihan the good ranking.

Before he finished speaking, Shi Guilin showed him his fist and said, "Shut up."

Three-year-old Nian Nian's comprehension ability was already far ahead of his one-year-old self. He reacted quickly, happily tugging at the fabric of Shi Guilin's T-shirt and cleverly said:

"Papa, there's no point in going to school. Nian Nian doesn't want to go to kindergarten anymore."
