Chapter 49 Chapter 49
◎Teacher Si Lan, how do you maintain your figure?◎
In the minds of parents, teachers have always been there to serve them. They send their children to school and to teachers, and after paying the money, they should get the results they want.
But I never thought that one day I would be scolded by the teacher, and this kind of teaching would poke at my spine.
It was like the fig leaf that they had been wearing on their faces was suddenly torn off, leaving them with nowhere to hide but also nothing to say.
Ding Rui, on the other hand, couldn't swallow that anger. This was happening in front of all the audiences. How could she possibly admit that she was wrong?
At this point, the host stepped in to smooth things over: "It seems that both Principal Deng and Principal Lian Jiu have their own unique perspectives on educating children. There are hundreds of different ways to educate children, and everyone can always find the one that works for them."
Hearing this, Ding Rui suddenly said, "Then I have a question for Director Lian Jiu."
Lian Jiu looked at her indifferently.
After the previous two experiences, Ding Rui felt that Lian Jiu was definitely against her now. But she was already being framed. If she didn't give a good explanation today, those parents wouldn't know how to question her when she got home. So she said, "Since Director Lian Jiu denies our materialistic education and thinks we shouldn't give children so many learning opportunities, then why is he applying for funding for Monster Kindergarten, seeking sponsorship, and even doing a live broadcast to solicit tips from netizens?"
She raised her eyebrows and smiled, "It's nice to be happy in the mountains, isn't it?"
This is quite impolite.
And it sounds very unpleasant. What does it mean to charge money for live streaming?
Qin Wenxuan couldn't stand it any longer: "You are clearly putting the cart before the horse."
But Lian Jiu didn't seem angry at all. Instead, he chuckled and said, "In Teacher Ding's opinion, is improving children's living conditions a bad thing? Does it conflict with education?"
"Didn't you say that as long as the children are happy, that's all that matters?"
"But if their living conditions are better, they'll be happier," Lian Jiu said with a smile. "I improve their material conditions so they can better understand the outside world and avoid being looked down upon by adults like Teacher Ding just because they don't know about motorcycles."
Ding Rui began to nitpick: "We also want to prevent the children from being looked down upon by others when they go out."
Lian Jiu calmly asked, "Who caused this?"
"What?"
"Whether it's kindergarten, elementary school, middle school, or high school, so-called musical instruments, math Olympiads, singing, and dancing are all considered extracurricular hobbies and aren't included in regular textbooks. It's always been like this." Lian Jiu raised his eyes. "But I don't know when it started, even after school, the children are still dragged away to learn these things, turning hobbies into class time."
"That's because parents are starting to compete with each other and putting all the pressure on their children. So who is responsible for this result?"
All the parents looked unhappy.
Lian Jiu said, "Don't you think it's ridiculous that you let the children bear the consequences of your own actions?"
Ding Rui sneered: "If your child wants to learn, can you stop her from going?"
Lian Jiu pointed at the little carp spirit holding a small basin of water in the video, as well as the ears of the little monsters: "Have I ever restricted the children in any way?"
"I can withhold the bubble water, and I can also force them not to wear their own ear tails, but have I done that?"
"I've worked as a kindergarten teacher in other kindergartens, and I can also teach children simple musical instruments, math Olympiads, or other specialties, but do I force them to learn?"
Lian Jiu rested his elbows on the table and slowly asked, "If you were willing to ask children, 'Are you willing? Do you like it?' before letting them learn, you would know what they are thinking."
Ding Rui: "Are you teaching us how to do things?"
"Wrong." Lian Jiu smiled. "Teacher Ding, why don't you go back and watch the live broadcast replay to see who was the first to teach others how to do things?"
Ding Rui, who had been actively bringing the topic back to Lian Jiu, said: "..."
Lian Jiu chuckled, "But I don't plan to exchange ideas with your school, so you guys should decide your own teaching philosophy. Let's go our separate ways, okay?"
I finally figured out the problem. Teacher Ding is indeed a bit strange today. His words have been vaguely directed at Jiujiu.
[I also think that she is very good at talking, praising openly but criticizing secretly.]
【I won’t even pretend anymore after that, hahaha. 】
Actually, Teacher Ding and Principal Deng are very similar, except that Principal Deng is more aware and knows his kindergarten's circumstances are different. He runs it according to the parents' wishes, so he's always kept a low profile. Meanwhile, Teacher Ding feels superior and tries to teach others how to do things.
I can only say that different trades are like different mountains. I don't understand, but I hope they succeed.
I suddenly feel bad for these children. Parents, please be more careful and listen to your children's opinions. Having children is not to satisfy your own regrets.
[Let me see the cubs, make me happy! ]
The kids were naturally unaware of the turmoil in the observation room and were having a great time. At lunch, they each ate several large bowls of food with a grunt.
Compared with other kindergarten children who were picky and tried hard to finish their food, it was very different.
The meals provided by the program crew are very good, nutritionally balanced, and a good combination of meat and vegetables.
But unfortunately, human cubs all have some minor problems, and they usually have to be coaxed into eating.
But today when they came to the program crew, the kids remembered not to be picky about food, so they didn’t dare to lose their temper. They just quietly finished their meals without leaving any leftovers.
Compared to the little monsters who can't wait to chew up the bowls, the human babies eat as if they are going to a grave, with sad faces.
"What's wrong?" Kong Xinxin enthusiastically took care of the other human cubs after finishing her meal. "Why are you unhappy? Don't you have enough food?"
【Hahahaha Xinxin: If you’re unhappy while eating, it means you’re not full.】
When the human cub heard that it was not enough, he quickly protected his plate, fearing that another spoonful of vegetables would be added to his plate: "That's enough!"
Kong Xinxin looked at the child's belly curiously: "Your belly is so small."
A little bit makes you full.
"Then why are you still unhappy?" Kong Xinxin, a kind-hearted assistant at Monster Kindergarten, likes to help the children solve their problems. "You don't seem happy today."
The child is not very good at lying, and it seems that neither his parents nor the teacher have told him whether he is happy or not before he came.
The human child blinked blankly: "Because I have to go to school."
Jiang An, who had just returned from snatching meat from Yuan Qing, joined the group chat and plopped down next to the human child, saying in surprise, "Are you still not happy about going to school?"
The other human children were also surprised: "Are you happy at school?"
"Of course." Fang said slowly, "We go to school, eat delicious food, play with other kids, and learn a lot of new things. It's so fun."
The human child looked down at his plate and shook his head, "My food isn't tasty, so I don't want to study."
They felt like they were attending a fake kindergarten.
The parents and teachers in the observation room had different expressions on their faces.
Qin Wenxuan had a look on his face that said, "That's normal."
Deng Ye was very calm. She had long known that her kindergarten children were under a lot of pressure and it was normal for them to dislike it.
But Ding Rui's expression turned unhappy. Isn't this obviously a slap in the face?
She forced a smile and said, "The children are still young and don't quite understand the importance of studying."
The parents also nodded in agreement and sighed in their hearts.
It’s just like at home. Every time they eat or go to school, it feels like their life is being taken away.
He doesn't even know how to perform well when he's on TV.
Lian Jiu curled his lips and didn't want to pay any attention to these people at all.
The teachers who were feeding the children in the live broadcast room soon discovered that several children had forgotten about eating and started chatting.
This is when the children can get so close to each other outside of class time.
But in order to ensure that the children are not hungry, I still go over and feed them the meal first, and then send them to bed.
The human children had already climbed into their own beds, but a few little monsters took advantage of the teacher's absence and sneaked up to each other.
Brother Yuanqing and Sister Jiangan haven’t finished telling their story yet!
Even though the little monsters kept their voices low, they still attracted the attention of the human children around them.
How is it possible to fall asleep so quickly in an unfamiliar environment? Besides, there is no learning goal at this time, and human children also want to play.
They are really curious about these little monsters, and even the stories they tell are different from those told by adults.
The stories told by Yuan Qing and Jiang An were of course different. The monsters in the storybooks were nowhere as exciting as the story of the demon god himself. His vivid descriptions made the little ones forget where to go.
Seeing the human child secretly peeking in to listen.
Yuan Qing was very generous and waved his hand: "Come, come closer."
At this innocent age, curiosity about the little monsters and the stories they tell has been accumulating. At this moment, in the heart of the human child, it finally outweighs the instructions of his parents.
It’s okay to sleep less!
Because I’m not studying now!
So a bunch of human children leaned over and listened attentively to the stories told by the two older brothers and sisters.
Jiang An then realized that no one had slept.
"You human kids are so interesting. You act so well."
This is the real communication between several kindergarten children since the live broadcast today, from stories to mutual learning environment.
Only then did human children realize that there was a kindergarten where they could learn so much without having to attend so many cram schools every day.
They can also do what they want, and they can play all the time in kindergarten.
I heard there are small animals there, and you can even take outdoor activity classes in the mountains!
Oh my god, is this some kind of amusement park? It's amazing!
The little carp can still play with the water. If it were me, I would be scolded by my parents for being disobedient if I touched the water, and I would also have to complete my homework every day.
The human children discovered that not all children were the same as them. This must be a problem with the kindergarten. The teaching in each kindergarten is different. If they just change kindergartens, they won’t be so tired. So they curiously asked, “Where is your kindergarten?”
Yuan Qing pretended to be profound: "On the other side of the mountain, on the other side of the sea."
Kong Xinxin couldn't control herself: "There are a group of elves~"
The human child corrected him: "It's the Smurfs."
"I know, but I think elves are cute!"
Human children were even more envious, because it turned out that these little monsters could be happy without caring about right or wrong or perfection.
At this time, the intern teacher walked in and found that the children who had been sleeping soundly had all gotten up. They formed a circle around the kid from the Monster Kindergarten, and some even climbed onto the kid's beds, hugged each other and whispered to each other.
The intern teacher went over and took the children back to their seats in a gentle voice: "It's time to go to bed. We still have classes in the afternoon."
The children were really tired at this moment and fell into a deep sleep in a short while.
The live broadcast has come to a temporary end, and the guests in the observation room are going to eat.
Unlike the children, the guests are working, so the meals they eat are boxed meals that have been ordered from the collective.
Lian Jiu took three copies and returned to his lounge.
Si Lan was still sitting in the same place where he left, as if he had not moved.
He also kept his ears closed at this time. When Lian Jiu pushed the door open, he just raised his head, and the distant look in his pupils suddenly dissipated like the tide receding.
Lian Jiu handed over two meals: "Eat first, we still have a whole afternoon of recording. Look, I brought you an extra one."
Si Lan smiled.
They sat down on the small sofa together. After Si Lan opened the meal and saw that she had nothing else to say, he asked, "How was the recording?"
"It went pretty smoothly."
"It went smoothly?" Si Lan glanced at the small TV in the lounge. "Is what I saw different from what you filmed?"
Lian Jiu reacted: "You mean Ding Rui, she's fine too."
In fact, for this kind of person, I don’t even want to be angry with her for a long time.
Even if someone has connections or a lot of money, Lian Jiu just doesn't look down on them.
Seeing that she showed no emotion at all, Si Lan felt relieved.
At this time, there was a knock on the door of the lounge. Lian Jiu walked over to open the door and found that it was Qin Wenxuan standing at the door: "Teacher Lian Jiu!"
"What's up?"
"It's okay, it's okay. I just want to chat during my break." Qin Wenxuan didn't rush in, but took his lunch. "Is it convenient?"
"certainly."
When Qin Wenxuan came in, he realized there was another person inside. He took the initiative to greet him, "Hello, my name is Qin Wenxuan, and I'm here to record the show with Teacher Lian Jiu."
The man who was concentrating on eating seemed to notice someone coming and slowly looked up.
Qin Wenxuan's eyes widened immediately: "Si Lan?!"
He had seen Si Lan in the live broadcast room, the man who was almost always a background board in the kindergarten, never spoke, but relied on his face to stand out and gather a small number of fans.
It’s just that Si Lan usually wears Hanfu, but today he was wearing modern clothes, so Qin Wenxuan didn’t recognize him at first.
As an actor, Qin Wenxuan, whose looks are very impressive on the big screen, actually felt a sense of inferiority at this moment: "Teacher Si Lan, you are truly a handsome man."
"Thanks."
Then continue eating.
“…”
Lian Jiu invited Qin Wenxuan to sit down: "Excuse me, is there anything you want to talk about?"
"Oh!" Qin Wenxuan sat down and put a piece of salad into his mouth. "Didn't you just say that I would be very popular if I went to your kindergarten? I want to ask, can I go once?"
Lian Jiu paused and asked, "What?"
"I really mean it when I say I've been following you guys for a long time." Qin Wenxuan scratched his head. "Xiao Ke came to me a while ago and said you guys wanted to make a movie."
"You mean, Ke Yuansi?"
"Yes." Qin Wenxuan nodded. "He and I are friends from the same school and different majors."
Ke Yuansi was from the Film Academy, Lian Jiu knew this.
When talking about the movie before, Ke Yuansi also said that if they could cooperate, he would take charge of the subsequent parts of the movie. It turned out that he was already preparing.
To be on the safe side, Lian Jiu still asked with reservations: "Did he say anything else to you?"
"He didn't say much, just mentioned that I should follow your live broadcast and get to know you. But after watching the live broadcast, I really like your kindergarten." Qin Wenxuan explained, "I asked him what he needed to do, and he asked if I planned to join the crew as an acting coach."
Afraid that Lian Jiu would think he was young and inexperienced, Qin Wenxuan quickly assured him, "Although I have few works and am not very popular, I have always been the top student in my major. I'm just picky and don't want to join a crew unless I like the script."
Lian Jiu didn't understand much about the entertainment industry, but she heard that actors needed resources and opportunities, and it was obvious that the actor in front of her didn't care much about these.
And he's in very good shape, so he shouldn't have to worry too much about resources.
Lian Jiu: "Hmm...anything else?"
"Although he told me that, he also said that he needed your consent." Qin Wenxuan said, "I haven't had the chance to meet you in person. I didn't expect to meet you on the show today, so I wanted to talk to you about this."
"Do you want to be our director?" Lian Jiu patiently explained. "The pay won't be high, and the workload will be enormous. As Xiao Ke probably already said, our protagonists are all mountain children and villagers. They don't have any experience with cameras, and we're starting from scratch. So it's going to take a lot of time and energy, and it's going to be much harder to stick with than if you took on a good script."
Qin Wenxuan waved his hand nonchalantly: "What's the big deal?"
Lian Jiu thought for a moment and asked, "Then may I ask why you still want to be a mentor given our current situation?"
Qin Wenxuan said without hesitation: "I like you guys."
Si Lan, who was eating silently without any emotion, suddenly stopped and raised his head calmly.
Qin Wenxuan was completely unaware: "If I had some concerns before, thinking that I was unfamiliar with the place and shouldn't do this just for personal favors and a little interest, after recording the show with you all morning today, I feel like I have no concerns at all now."
"Did I do anything today?"
"You didn't do anything. This might be your normal state, but it also makes me trust you even more." Qin Wenxuan said, "To be honest, when I found out you were going to make a movie, I wondered if you were trying so hard to get money. Maybe making a movie was also a way to raise money from other sources, build momentum for the kids, and hype up your mountain."
He looked apologetic. "But I apologize for my narrow-minded thinking. You can't fake the children's state of mind during the live broadcast, and you can't act out the details you consider from their perspective. So I trust you."
"One more thing." Qin Wenxuan took another bite of his salad. "The reason I can be friends with Xiao Ke is because we are very similar. Hobbies and interests play a big role in our work. I think your mountain area is very clean, so I hope to let this cleanliness infect others. For example, those teachers and parents who are messing around with a lot of crooked ideas today, there must be someone who can teach them a lesson, right?"
I didn't expect there was this layer.
But after all these twists and turns, it was a coincidence. Lian Jiu said softly, "Thank you for your affirmation."
Qin Wenxuan asked expectantly, "Then, Principal, can I be your instructor?"
Lian Jiu hesitated: "It's a matter of money..."
"Don't worry about that!" Qin Wenxuan crossed his legs. "Our family doesn't lack this little money. I'm young, so I should do what I want to do first. If you have any financial problems, you can always tell me."
"By the way." Fearing he would be rejected, Qin Wenxuan added, "Xiao Ke said he wanted to build a cinema in your mountain area. I'll pay for half of the money. In the future, the children can watch their own movies in the mountains."
Lian Jiu deeply understood the meaning of "people from the same family are not alike".
The same principle applies to making friends.
Didn't these two people ever consider that not only were they wasting their time and manpower, but they couldn't wait to invest money?
Teacher Pixiu never lied to me.
It turns out that I have some metaphysical knowledge of attracting wealth.
Lian Jiu held out his hand: "Then I'll trouble you when the time comes."
"No trouble, no trouble!" Qin Wenxuan took out his phone, "Let's add each other on WeChat first, and then we can contact each other directly on WeChat."
"Next time, you can come to the mountains with Xiao Ke." Lian Jiu gave him his friend's QR code to scan. "He knows how to get here."
"Okay!"
After adding Lian Jiu, Qin Wenxuan looked at Si Lan who was sitting on the other side and asked, "Teacher Si Lan, do you want to add one more?"
Lian Jiu thought Si Lan was going to say he didn't have WeChat again, but he was silent for a few seconds before pulling out his phone. "You, what's your name?"
Qin Wenxuan, who had just arrived and sat down, introduced himself: "...Qin Wenxuan."
Teacher? Where were you just now? Didn't you say thank you to me?
Si Lan wrote his name in the notes and sat down again.
Only then did Qin Wenxuan notice that the two boxes of lunch in front of him had been finished without him noticing.
Looking at my own salad, I felt like crying.
What's going on?
Is he eating the same thing? How come he doesn't look fat even though he eats so many carbs?
And I still have to control my diet every day? !
"Teacher Si Lan." Qin Wenxuan looked at the lunch box in front of Si Lan in confusion, "Do you eat so much every meal?"
Lian Jiu lowered his eyes and laughed softly.
I thought, isn't Qin Wenxuan poking at Si Lan's pain? Si Lan cares most about his figure.
Si Lan: “…”
I want to delete the friend I just added.
He raised his eyelids: "How much?"
Somehow, Qin Wenxuan felt as if he was threatened, and said embarrassedly: "I want to ask, how do you manage to eat so much and still maintain your figure? Look at me, if I eat a little more, I have to eat vegetables for several days."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Wenxuan immediately noticed that the aura of Teacher Si Lan in front of him had changed, as if he was bathed in a spring breeze.
He leaned against the sofa and looked at Lian Jiu with a hint of pride.
Lien Jiu: "..."
Okay, it’s floating.
Si Lan said without any guilt: "Talent."
Lien Jiu: "Ahem."
"..." Si Lan paused for a second, then added, "Of course, Lian Jiu will also pay special attention to helping me control my diet every day."
Qin Wenxuan suddenly realized: "Oh oh!"
But is it necessary to use so many emphatic words? !
The author has something to say:
