Chapter 83: Childhood Friends (Part 1)
"Today is the first day of school. You should get along well with your classmates, okay?"
A gentle voice sounded.
The mother in a white long skirt squatted down, put the small schoolbag on the back of the child in front of her, and reached the child's eye level, then rubbed his dark head.
In his mother's eyes, Shen Wei saw his own reflection—
She has a small face and a pair of round eyes, but her mother's touch has made a strand of her hair stand up.
He raised his chubby little hands and pressed down the disobedient alopecia on his head.
He pursed his lips and said, "I understand."
The voice of speaking is babyish.
"Goodbye, Mom."
Shen Wei stood at the door and waved his little hand at his mother.
Mom leaned against the door, smiling gently, and leaned over to wave at him.
Chen Wei grabbed the straps of his schoolbag with both hands and nodded, "Okay, Mom."
Today is the first day of kindergarten, and it is the first time for Shen Wei to leave his mother.
He asked his mother if she could take him to kindergarten the night before school started.
Mom rejected him gently.
The kindergarten that Shen Wei attends is the best one in the city, and there is a school bus to pick him up and drop him off every day.
He stood at the door of his house, wearing a blue garden suit that made his skin look even whiter.
Chen Wei turned his head back from time to time, and his mother stood at the door watching him.
He smiled at his mother, hoping that she would change her mind, like taking him to kindergarten in person.
Little Shen Wei really doesn't want to be separated from his mother.
But his mother did not compromise because of his appearance, so Chen Wei put away his soft appearance and put on a cold look again.
He is an independent man now and needs to go to school by himself.
It’s not difficult, Shen Wei told himself in his heart.
The school bus came from a distance, and Shen Wei stood on the side of the road.
With a sound, the school bus stopped in front of Shen Wei.
The door opened, the teacher got out of the car, signaled to the mother, and took Shen Wei onto the school bus.
Shen Wei walked from the front to the back of the car and found his name, but the seat with his name on it was already occupied.
The man had jet-black hair. Although he didn't look ugly, his expression was too cold and people couldn't like him.
That's what Shen Wei is like.
He frowned and said, "You took my seat."
The man glanced at Shen Wei and moved towards the window, moving to an empty seat inside.
Shen Wei climbed up to his seat and the teacher came over to fasten his seat belt.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
Shen Wei heard the apology beside him, but he didn't say anything.
It was a long time before Shen Wei remembered that his mother had taught him that when someone apologized, he had to see if he could accept it, and he didn't have to accept the apology.
Shen Wei raised his head and snorted softly.
"Hello, my name is Jiang Yuan, what's your name?"
In critical moments, he should remember what his mother told him: he should be polite.
So, no matter how reluctant he was, Shen Wei responded to him.
"My name is Shen Wei."
"Today we are classmates, and we must love each other from now on."
Jiang Yuan spoke to him quite seriously.
Shen Wei: “Oh.”
He's still angry!
Jiang Yuan leaned against the window and looked at the scenery outside. He asked, "Do you want to see the outside world?"
Shen Wei remained unmoved. After a moment, he still wanted to look outside.
Then, his head gradually turned toward the window.
The trees outside the window were moving backwards one by one. The school bus was driving very slowly. Jiang Yuan leaned against the back of his chair, trying to make more space for Chen Wei so that he could see the scenery outside the window.
Jiang Yuan stared at Chen Wei's profile for a long time.
Shen Wei turned around and saw this scene.
He asked, “Why are you looking at me?”
This was also the first time Jiang Yuan met such a classmate. He thought for a moment and remembered that his family encouraged him to communicate more with his classmates and praise them more.
Although Xiao Jiangyuan was not an outgoing person, he thought about it for a long time and finally decided to say it out loud, "Because you are-"
nice.
Before he could finish the last two words, the teacher interrupted him.
"Hey kids, here we are."
Shen Wei unbuckled his seat belt himself, and the sound of seat belts being unbuckled was heard in the car.
Jiang Yuan also unbuckled his seat belt.
Whatever I wanted to say was interrupted.
There was no time to brag now, Jiang Yuan sat silently in his seat, waiting to get off the bus.
Shen Wei got off the bus first, and Jiang Yuan followed behind the other classmates.
His eyes always followed Shen Wei.
Chen Wei had already gotten out of the car, so Jiang Yuan could only follow at the end of the team.
Today is the first day of school. The teacher led them into the classroom, arranged their seats, and then started the class.
"Wow, you're definitely number one! Shen Wei, you're so tall."
"That's right, I think so too."
"Can you give me some of your height?"
Without the guidance of the teacher, the children had gathered together, chattering and making noise.
Shen Wei's face made many people feel good about him.
"Chen Wei, your eyes are so big."
Although Shen Wei's classmates couldn't speak clearly, their praise was sincere.
Shen Wei was surrounded by his classmates and felt quite proud.
He looked at Jiang Yuan unconsciously, but found that Jiang Yuan was also beside him, looking at him.
Shen Wei raised his little head.
"Everyone, come and line up."
The teacher asked the children to line up from shortest to tallest. Jiang Yuan was the tallest in the class, followed by Shen Wei. In fact, the height difference between the two was not much. Shen Wei glanced at Jiang Yuan.
Everyone looked back curiously, wanting to know who was the tallest in the class.
When they saw that Chen Wei didn't get first place, they all opened their mouths and made surprised expressions.
Shen Wei himself was sulking.
His mother didn't send him off in the morning, and his seat on the school bus was taken. As a result, when the class was ranked by height, he was not as good as Jiang Yuan!
Shen Wei frowned, looking very dissatisfied, but he didn't say anything.
The teacher is assigning seats to groups.
Shen Wei was unhappy.
Jiang Yuan was behind him, touched his shoulder, and said, "Chen Wei, you are taller than me, please line up at the back."
When Shen Wei was about to move, the teacher at the end of the line said, "Children, please don't move after you line up. Remember to follow the rules."
Shen Wei's footsteps stopped where he was.
He no longer looked at Jiang Yuan and the teacher's expressions.
Xiao Shenwei was still feeling very disappointed. Everyone had just said that. If he was not first, wouldn't it be very embarrassing?
But the teacher didn't let them move anymore, so he could only be second.
He lowered his head and no longer wanted to see how the teacher arranged the seats.
Afterwards, Shen Wei's palm felt a little itchy, and someone gently scratched it. Shen Wei frowned, and before he could say anything, his body moved and instantly switched to the last position.
Jiang Yuan gave him a polite smile.
Shen Wei was stunned.
"You should be standing here."
Chen Wei heard Jiang Yuan say this to him.
The angry feeling in his heart disappeared instantly. Jiang Yuan turned around and stood in line silently.
Shen Wei looked at the back of Jiang Yuan's head.
Jiang Yuan's hair was very black, and even the back of his head was round. Shen Wei kept staring ahead.
This person seems to be quite nice.
Perhaps the gaze was too direct, Jiang Yuan felt it, he turned around and caught Chen Wei who was staring at him.
Shen Wei finally came back to his senses at this moment and looked away awkwardly.
Jiang Yuan asked him, "What are you looking at?"
Chen Wei hesitated and thought for a long time before saying, "I'm looking at the flowers."
“The flowers are very round.”
Jiang Yuan did not expose it. Chen Wei was a little embarrassed to be caught, so he did not dare to look at Jiang Yuan anymore.
His eyes began to wander.
Until the teacher's arrival finally saved Shen Wei.
As the two tallest students in the class, they were naturally arranged to sit at the same table.
At this point, all the students in the class have taken their seats.
Jiang Yuan sat properly, but Chen Wei was not as calm as Jiang Yuan.
Teacher T praised Jiang Yuan several times and also criticized himself a little.
The good impression that had just been ignited towards Jiang Yuan was instantly extinguished.
In fact, kindergarten courses are a combination of classes and activities. On the first day of kindergarten, teachers need to help children familiarize themselves with the environment, so there are mostly activities.
Compared to Jiang Yuan, Chen Wei finds it easier to play with other classmates because he is not as introverted as Jiang Yuan.
Most of the time, Jiang Yuan just stood by and watched his classmates play activities and games.
He was not good at handling this situation until the teacher asked him to join another group to compete with Shen Wei's group.
They were doing handicraft activities that required using mud and other things, and they had to work together with their group members to complete them.
Jiang Yuan was responsible for the main part of the object. He completed it quickly and well. He was the first to complete his task before other group members had finished.
In the group that Shen Wei was in, he saw out of the corner of his eye that their progress was still very slow.
If this continues, Shen Wei will definitely not win.
Jiang Yuan finally slowed down the pace of his handicrafts.
The teacher was somewhat surprised by Jiang Yuan's talent and asked, "Baby, how come you are so good?"
"This part has been completed very well. I noticed that you kept re-molding it. Why?"
Jiang Yuan withdrew his gaze from the group where Shen Wei was and pretended to be focused.
He said, “I don’t like it.”
Children of this age always have various reasons, and as long as it is within a reasonable range, teachers simply let them let go of their nature and express themselves freely.
Finally, after seeing Shen Wei finished, Jiang Yuan slowly finished the work at hand.
After Jiang Yuan's team put the parts together, Jiang Yuan noticed that a very small part of Chen Wei's team was broken, so that part needed to be remade.
So, naturally, Jiang Yuan's group won first place and was awarded three little red flowers.
The progress of Shen Wei's group lagged slightly behind Jiang Yuan's group, and they came in second place, receiving two little red flowers.
After the activity, there is time for free communication in the classroom.
Shen Wei was gathered with other classmates.
Jiang Yuan walked up to Shen Wei.
He said, "I'm sorry."
Shen Wei asked him: "Why do you want to say sorry to me?"
"Because of our group, our group won first place."
Shen Wei said, "Oh, I see."
"Aren't you angry?"
Jiang Yuan asked him.
"I'm not angry."
Shen Wei said, "I've already surpassed you in the speed of handicrafts."
Jiang Yuan nodded: "So that's how it is."
Chen Wei was about to be dragged away by a classmate next to him. He had already turned around, and that gesture made it clear that he had ended his chat with Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan saw that he had finally found an opportunity to talk to Shen Wei, but Shen Wei was about to be pulled away by someone else, and he became a little anxious.
"You should be number one in my heart."
He said this to Shen Wei.
Shen Wei heard Jiang Yuan's words, then turned around, faced Jiang Yuan, and said, "I will always be number one."
Jiang Yuan said, "Okay."
At that time, Shen Wei had not yet realized how serious Jiang Yuan was when he said this.
When the cookies were distributed in the afternoon, Shen Wei got his share of cookies.
He stuffed it into Jiang Yuan's hand.
Shen Wei said, "Thank you."
Jiang Yuan asked: "Why?"
Shen Wei thought for a moment and said, "Thank you for letting me be number one."
Jiang Yuan accepted it and said, "You're welcome."
After a fulfilling day in kindergarten, school is finally over.
Shen Wei and his friends got on the school bus to go home.
On the school bus, Chen Wei stared out the window just like he did in the morning. Jiang Yuan made room for him as usual so that Chen Wei could get closer to the window and look.
They were the first two children to get off the bus.
Jiang Yuan followed Shen Wei's gaze at the scenery outside the window. He did not hear the teacher's call and almost missed his stop with Shen Wei.
Only after the teacher reminded them did the two get off the car.
Jiang Yuan followed Shen Wei out of the car.
The parents of the two were waiting at the platform.
Shen Wei said, "Why are you following me?"
Jiang Yuan pulled his clothes down and said, "My home is here."
As if to confirm Jiang Yuan's words, Jiang Yuan's mother walked up to Jiang Yuan.
Shen Wei's mother had also been waiting at the platform for a long time.
The mothers of the two families smiled at each other after receiving their children.
Chen Wei and Jiang Yuan were each held hand by their mothers and walked home.
Jiang Yuan looked in the direction of Chen Wei from time to time.
His mother seemed to know what he was thinking, and asked, "Do you want to be friends with the kid just now?"
Jiang Yuan remained silent, and only nodded when his mother asked him about this issue.
"But he doesn't seem to like me."
His mother gently shook his hand and said, "Try harder. Do you want to bake some cakes with me and send them to him later?"
Jiang Yuan nodded vigorously and said, "Yes."
Chen Wei lives next door to their house, and Jiang Yuan saw him when he got on the school bus today.
He wanted to be friends with this kid.
Mom said that we should learn to share. Jiang Yuan sat in the window seat for a while. He could see his home and saw Chen Wei coming out of the house. Jiang Yuan thought this seat was very good. He happened to hear the teacher calling the classmate's name again.
It's called "sinking danger".
So Jiang Yuan took the initiative to give up his seat by the window to Chen Wei, but Chen Wei seemed to have misunderstood him.
Fortunately, in the afternoon, Shen Wei gave Jiang Yuan some cookies, and Jiang Yuan felt that he could be friends with him.
Although Jiang Yuan doesn't know how to write his name yet, he has already memorized the name of this neighbor and classmate!
Next, he and his mother would make small cakes and send them to Shen Wei.
Jiang Yuan thought to himself that this time he must ask Chen Wei explicitly if he could be friends with him.
But Chen Wei on the other side didn't know what Jiang Yuan was thinking. He had finished his dinner and was playing with building blocks.
He couldn't put the building blocks together no matter how hard he tried, and he didn't ask his mother for help. His mother seemed to be working, so Shen Wei decided not to disturb her.
He felt that he could put the blocks in his hands together.
He hung his head, not knowing how long he had been playing. Suddenly, a sweet smell drifted through the air and into the house.
Chen Wei stood up and walked to his mother holding the building blocks.
He said, "Mom, little cake!"
Mom stopped what she was doing and sniffed the air carefully. There was indeed the scent of eggs and milk.
She stood up and walked to the window, leaning out slightly.
The fragrance spread in the air.
Mom said, "It seems to be floating from your friend's house."
Shen Wei's face was blank.
Mom smiled and asked, "Is that the kid named Jiang Yuan? Aren't you two good friends?"
Shen Wei shook his head and said, "No."
The mother was a little surprised. She squatted down and was about to ask when the doorbell suddenly rang.
"I'll open the door."
Shen Wei followed his mother to the door.
As soon as my mother opened the door, the fragrance hit her face.
It’s the scent of the little cakes I just smelled!
Shen Wei poked his head out from behind his mother.
The people who came were Jiang Yuan and his mother.
Jiang Yuan raised his head and said to Shen Wei's mother: "Hello, Auntie, I am Shen Wei's classmate."
Jiang Yuan's mother also spoke up, smiling gently, "What a coincidence! They're both in the same kindergarten and class. I asked my kids today, and they're still sitting at the same table."
"It just so happens that my family is going to bake some cakes today, so I sent some to you."
Shen Wei's mother was a little surprised because Shen Wei had never told him this.
"Those two kids have a connection."
"Mother Jiang Yuan, you are too polite," she took the small cake, "Wait a moment, I also have something for the two little ones."
Shen Wei's eyes followed the small cake in his mother's hand, then he turned back and said, "Auntie, thank you."
Jiang Yuan's mother had already squatted down and rubbed the back of Chen Wei's head.
At the same time, she asked Jiang Yuan, "Do you have anything to say to Shen Wei?"
Jiang Yuan nodded and said, "Yes."
Jiang Yuan's mother said softly, encouragingly, "Then tell me."
Jiang Yuan pulled his clothes down. He had seen adults usually make this gesture in serious and formal occasions.
He felt that this was also a very important occasion.
Jiang Yuan said, "Student Shen Wei, I want to be friends with you."
Shen Wei glanced at him, and his mood improved along with the little cake.
Children are like this, their emotions come and go quickly. They may be arguing with their friends in the morning, but after one or two classes they make up and become good friends again.
Chen Wei's morning mood had long been soothed by the little cake. He took Jiang Yuan's hand and said, "Okay, we are good friends now."
"Hook."
Chen Wei and Jiang Yuan made a pinky promise, their chubby little hands shaking.
With the click of two thumbs, the two became official friends.
Shen Wei's mother also came out of the house.
She handed Jiang Yuan's mother a red rope and said, "We drove to the temple to pray for this. It's a bracelet for safety, with a safety lock on it."
The red bracelet is exquisitely crafted, and the gold on it is slightly shiny.
Jiang Yuan's mother refused, saying it was too expensive.
Shen Wei said, "Auntie, this is a gift I gave to my good friend. I want to wear this bracelet with Jiang Yuan."
Then, both adults fell silent.
Xiao Shenwei put the bracelet on Jiang Yuan personally.
Xiao Jiangyuan also put a bracelet on Shen Wei.
At that time, Chen Wei had not expected that Jiang Yuan would gradually occupy the most important part of his life.
