Time flies and soon it is afternoon. The kindergarten asked the children to bring their parents to the school cafeteria for meals and required all the children to add rice and dishes for their parents after arriving at the restaurant. All these tasks were done by the children in order to exercise their hands-on ability.
However, here, Mo Huang finally had time to rest for a while, and he immediately relaxed. After all, today was a parent-child activity, and by then, Mo Huang would basically be the only one doing most of the things. The two of them were hiding behind him, shouting encouragement and cheering him on.
But now, Ningning is in charge of serving meals and dishes. Mo Huang is finally free and can sit down for a while. Ningning is also very happy about this. She runs back and forth happily several times, putting rice and dishes on the table. However, seeing that there are so many dishes on the table and Ningning is still running back and forth, Mo Huang suddenly feels a sense of crisis.
So, he immediately stopped Ningning and said to her cautiously, "You took so much. What if your teacher says you can't waste food and you have to eat it all? What should we do?"
"Oh, then I won't go get it!" Ningning felt that what her brother said made sense, so she nodded and replied;
However, the next moment, Lu Lin, with a brilliant mind, interrupted, "What if their teacher were to judge their work based on the standards of nutritious Chinese food? Or even based on things like calorie count and nutritional balance?"
"That makes sense!" Ningning nodded again, and then she was suddenly in a dilemma. However, Mo Huang thought about it briefly, looked at the dishes on the table, left the vegetables, fruits, meat, and seafood, and asked Ningning to send the rest back. It was a buffet anyway, with each dish covered with a lid, so it didn't matter if they were sent back.
Afterwards, he asked her to get some soup and eggs, and only stopped when he was sure that the food was nutritionally balanced. He said to Lu Lin calmly, "Look, this is it. There's everything from the air to the ground, with a combination of meat and vegetables, and it's nutritionally balanced. And it's not too much. The three of us will definitely be able to eat it!"
"But how can this be enough to eat?" Lu Lin rolled her eyes at Mo Huang and then complained;
"You think you can eat a lot? Eat first. If you are worried that there is not enough food, you can eat first and I will wait for a while!" Mo Huang shrugged and waved his hand.
However, Lu Lin was speechless and subconsciously looked at Ning Ning. However, after the little girl sat down, she started eating and was enjoying a piece of beef.
"Forget it, let it be!" Lu Lin looked at the little girl's heartless look, smiled unhappily, and spread her hands.
There seemed to be a lot of small plates, and the variety sounded quite rich, but the portions were very small. But then again, this is a kindergarten, and these were meals prepared for children, so there was nothing wrong with them being on small plates.
Mo Huang and Lu Lin had originally disagreed and argued about it. However, when they actually started eating, he found that there were not many dishes at all. It was not enough for three people. Moreover, although Ningning looked small, she was as good at eating as an adult. Finally, Mo Huang had no choice but to silently put down his chopsticks and gave the food to the two of them.
"Eat it, it will be over at three or four o'clock anyway, we still have time to eat it when we get home!" Lu Lin looked at Mo Huang in surprise and said strangely;
However, before Mo Huang could say anything, the teacher actually came over with a small loudspeaker. As she walked towards them, she gently taught all the children, "Children and parents, I'm sorry to bother you while you're eating, but I'm here because I have something very important to tell you. I want to teach you a poem about eating while we're eating. Would you like to learn it?"
To be honest, seeing that the children couldn't even eat in peace in the kindergarten, some parents with bad tempers turned angry on the spot and were ready to argue. However, the teacher's attitude was gentle and kind, and the children around them were also very interested. When they heard what the teacher said, everyone responded enthusiastically. In such a scene, no parent could lose their temper.
At this time, Ningning was also very excited. She danced with her hands and answered the teacher's words loudly with the children around her.
However, at this moment, Mo Huang actually laughed, then looked at Lu Lin with a helpless expression, and teased, "Wife, if this poem isn't 'Quiet Night Thoughts', oh bah, if it isn't 'Song of the Peasants', I will go home standing upside down!"
Lu Lin was amused. Seeing Mo Huang suddenly so confident, she also became excited. Blinking her eyes, she raised the stakes and said, "If I guess wrong, you have to do 500 push-ups tonight!"
Mo Huang suddenly frowned and didn't know what to say!
However, before the two of them could finish their words, the kindergarten teacher had already given the answer.
"Children, this poem is "Song of Pity for the Peasants"!" the teacher said to the children in a very kind manner.
Hearing this, Mo Huang was stunned for a moment. To be honest, he had never heard of the two poems "Song of Pity the Peasants" because the poem "Who knows that the food on the plate is the result of hard work" that he learned in elementary school was simply called "Song of Pity the Peasants".
However, as a college graduate after all, Mo Huang still knew about the so-called "Two Poems of Pity the Farmers". This poem has two sections, but the first section is not as famous as the second section. The first section talks about the growth process of a seed, and tells the reality that in the feudal period, there were fields everywhere but countless farmers starved to death. The second section contains the two famous lines "Who knows that the food on the plate is the result of hard work?". These two poems are the "Two Poems of Pity the Farmers" in the textbooks. The lines of the two poems are very conventional, because they tell the life of farmers who work hard all year round and teach people to cherish food. For children, they have very good educational significance. Therefore, the "Two Poems of Pity the Farmers" have been passed down, but in later textbooks, the name of "Two Poems of Pity the Farmers" is directly written.
