Chapter 200 (Second Update) The Influence of She Niu, No…
"Yes, yes, our Xiaoyu is so well-behaved." Old Madam Fu laughed heartily, then said to her daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law, "The child is starting to understand things."
Mrs. Fu nodded. "It's no wonder Mingli needs to buy some related books to read."
She misunderstood Tang Mingli's motives for buying the book.
Tang Mingli also took the opportunity to tell them about the parent-teacher conference, and sighed, "It's not easy being the parent of an outstanding student."
"So that's how it is." Mrs. Fu's expression showed a look of sudden realization.
Madam Fu was also somewhat surprised and said, "Now parents have to speak at parent-teacher meetings? Times have really changed."
Fu's mother also felt this way: "Fu Ci was always an excellent student when he was young, and thankfully, his parents were never asked to speak."
Well, Tang Mingli, who had originally hoped to learn some advice from her mother-in-law and grandmother, gave up. The two of them were also inexperienced.
Tang Mingli managed to write a speech in just two days over the weekend and memorized it.
Of course, this doesn't mean she'll recite it verbatim. It's just that she doesn't like to fight unprepared battles, and since she's going to speak on stage, she needs to be basically prepared.
Everything is ready now, and we're just waiting for the parent-teacher conference.
Actually, it didn't take long. Before I knew it, the day of the parent-teacher conference had arrived.
Fu Yu didn't know what the parent-teacher meeting meant, but she was very happy to know that her mother would be going to school with her today.
On the way to school, she kept chattering, wanting to introduce her best friend to her mother.
Tang Mingli asked her with a smile who her good friends were, and Fu Yu actually started counting them for her.
“Zhao Xiaojuan, Lu Dazhi…”
Her little mouth chattered away, rattling off a dozen or even twenty names in one breath.
Tang Mingli smiled so hard her eyes almost curved into slits.
This child was originally a cowherd.
She couldn't hold her child back; she had to perform well at school if the child fell.
-
At eight o'clock in the morning, the classroom of the "Star Class" in the government-run kindergarten was full of people.
Every child seemed more excited than usual, simply because they were accompanied by their parents today.
The teacher first briefly explained the purpose of the parent-teacher meeting, and then began to report to the parents on their children's performance at school over the past half semester.
They're all three or four years old, how could I possibly find fault with them? Of course, I praised every single one of them.
Normally shrewd parents all turn into child-obsessed parents at this time, and smile brightly when they hear the teacher praising their child.
"...Of course, there are a few children who perform exceptionally well. For example, ours..."
The teacher called out the names of several children, including Fu Yu.
Upon hearing her name called, Fu Yu immediately straightened her back, as if to prove that the teacher was right.
After praising these exceptionally outstanding children, it was time for their parents to share their experiences. Tang Mingli was honored to be the first to do so.
She was prepared and didn't panic.
Tang Mingli stood up and walked to the teacher's side, smiling as she began, "I feel very honored to stand here today and share my experiences of my child's growth with all of you outstanding parents. As a mother, my greatest concern has always been my child's health and happiness..."
Tang Mingli said a lot, yet it seemed like she said nothing at all.
It wasn't a perfunctory response, but rather the result of her thinking about it over the weekend.
She believes that every child is independent and has their own personality, and there is no single template for a child's success. Therefore, she does not want to mislead parents, as she cannot bear the consequences.
In this speech, she shared more about her daily interactions with her children and emphasized respect for them.
As adults, when children are young, we are undoubtedly the dominant party, and we often easily take advantage of our power to demand this or that from our children.
She felt that this was actually the worst thing she could do.
It's not that having requirements is wrong.
How can there be no expectations between people?
Even ordinary friends require mutual respect and understanding.
However, parents' demands on their children often become taken for granted and lose their boundaries because of their parental status.
However, this viewpoint also carries her strong personal bias, so she doesn't say it outright, but only emphasizes respecting children.
After Tang Mingli finished sharing, a parent immediately asked: "Fu Yu's mother, we also respect our child very much. We basically give him whatever he wants, which has resulted in him developing a personality where he gets upset when he doesn't get what he wants."
Tang Mingli smiled and told her, "Respect is not indulgence. There are some things he wants, but you think he shouldn't have them. Have you tried to communicate with your child about them?"
“We told him, we said ‘no,’ and the child started crying.”
“A child is a blank slate. He may not understand why he can’t do something, so you have to tell him why.”
"Oh dear, that would be such a hassle."
Tang Mingli's smile faltered slightly, and she thought to herself, "Raising children is never easy. With such a lack of patience, the child probably takes after his parents."
She secretly memorized the child's name, wary that it might one day come out of her daughter's mouth.
After the half-day parent-teacher meeting, the kindergarten gave everyone a half-day off.
Tang Mingli led her daughter out of the kindergarten, discussing that they wouldn't go home for lunch.
Upon hearing this, Fu Yu's eyes widened immediately, filled with anticipation, and she asked, "Mommy, are you going to take me out to eat and drink delicious food?"
Tang Mingli wanted to cry but had no tears.
She's become so used to the phrase "eating well and drinking well" that she really wants to say to her daughter, "Honey, promise Mommy we won't say those words anymore, okay?"
But didn't she learn those words from the adults? What right does she have to make this request?
Calming herself down, Tang Mingli smiled and said, "Okay, let's go out and eat something good."
She emphasized the words "delicious" very much, determined to replace the "eating and drinking well" in her daughter's mind with these three words.
Fu Yu asked her mother with a smile, "What do you want to eat?"
"What would you like to eat, baby?"
When the words "delicious" are mentioned, Tang Mingli slows down her speech and emphasizes each word.
Fu Yu was a little worried and stopped walking.
"Mom, is your tongue uncomfortable?"
Tang Mingli then laughed at herself for being too obvious and finally spoke normally.
"No, baby, tell Mommy what you want to eat."
It turns out Mom didn't bite her tongue.
Fu Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
"I want to eat..." she tilted her head and thought, but unfortunately, she had eaten too few delicious things in her four years of life, and the list of things she could think of was too limited.
"Mom, you decide."
Tang Mingli smiled and nodded: "Then how about Mom takes Xiaoyuqi out for steak?"
It's good for children to eat more beef, as it's rich in protein.
"good."
Fu Yu was so happy that she skipped and hopped as she walked.
After taking two steps, a childish voice called out from behind.
“Fu Yu”.
Fu Yu turned around, and after seeing who it was, she waved happily.
"Luo Simin".
Little Luo Simin let go of her mother's hand and ran towards Fu Yu.
Are you going home?
Fu Yu shook her head: "I'm not going home. I want to go out with my mom and eat and drink delicious food."
Tang Mingli: ...
Destroy it.
But the next second, she felt that she didn't have to destroy it.
Luo Simin excitedly told her friend, "Mom said I was praised by the teacher, and she's going to take me out for a nice meal later."
"Really? That's great! Today we can all enjoy delicious food and drinks with Mom."
...
The two children chatted excitedly, and Tang Mingli smiled and nodded at Luo's mother.
Luo's mother nodded in response and laughed, "I don't know what's going on, but since my child started kindergarten, he likes to talk about eating and drinking well. Fortunately, it's not a big deal."
Tang Mingli smiled somewhat guiltily.
This must have originated from the daughter.
The influence of Sheniu should not be underestimated.
I must set a good example for my child in the future, otherwise he will raise a bunch of followers in no time.
