"It's amazing that your Yueyue is so brave even though she's so young." Yun Qiao asked Zhao Yuan with a smile, "Is Yueyue three years old this year?"
"No," Zhao Yuan shook her head and replied, "She was born in March. By this autumn, she was only two and a half years old."
"She's only two and a half." Yun Qiao was particularly surprised. "Then why are you willing to send her to school so early? Will the child have trouble adapting?"
Hearing Yun Qiao's question, Zhao Yuan's lips curved into a slightly bitter arc. She forced a smile and said, "It can't be helped. There's a nursing baby at home, and it's too much for me to take care of two children alone. Yueyue is so sensible, and when the child makes a fuss, I get so overwhelmed that I easily neglect her. I thought, instead of being unable to take care of both children, it would be better to send the older one to kindergarten. That way, she'll be accompanied by teachers and teachers, and she might be happier."
Yun Qiao said worriedly, "But I heard from Yanyan that the students in her class are all quite old. Yueyue is so young and she's hanging out with kids who are only four or five years old. What if she gets bullied?"
Zhao Yuan shook her head again. "No. I used to work in this kindergarten. All the teachers are my former employees. I know them well and I feel safe leaving my child with them."
"Having said that, the child is still too young," Yun Qiao said.
"I know that." Zhao Yuan sighed softly, "I'm reluctant to do that, but there's really no other way."
"Won't your family help?"
Zhao Yuan shook her head and wanted to say something, but after opening her mouth, she said nothing in the end.
Those who live in the cadre compound are all high-ranking cadres, and none of their families are short of money for hiring a nanny. Since Zhao Yuan chose not to send her child to school, she must have her reasons.
Seeing that she looked embarrassed, Yun Qiao tactfully did not ask any more questions and changed the topic.
Zhao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and the embarrassment in her heart eased. She sorted herself out and turned to talk to Yun Qiao about other topics.
Yun Qiao and Zhao Yuan chatted as they dropped their two children off at the kindergarten. Standing at the classroom door to greet the children was the same teacher from yesterday, Fang Ping.
Zhao Yuan smiled and called her, "Fang Ping." Then she took Zhou Yue's hand and handed her to Fang Ping.
"Yuanyuan, you're here."
Fang Ping greeted Zhao Yuan, then took Zhou Yue's hand from Zhao Yuan, touched the top of her head, bent down and said softly, "Yueyue, come in."
After that, she greeted Yun Qiao again: "Mother He Yan, good morning."
Yun Qiao nodded slightly and greeted Fang Ping, "Mr. Fang, good morning."
He Yan also bowed and greeted Fang Ping: "Mr. Fang, good morning."
"Good morning, little Yanyan, come in quickly." Fang Ping waved to He Yan.
He Yan turned around and said "Goodbye, Mom" to Yun Qiao in a baby voice, then took Zhou Yue's hand and walked into the classroom together.
At the classroom door, Fang Ping was particularly embarrassed to apologize to Yun Qiao: "I'm sorry, He Yan's mother. I handled the situation yesterday properly. I was too anxious at the time and wanted to resolve the matter quickly, so I lost my sense of proportion. No matter what, He Yan was the one being bullied. I shouldn't have insisted that you two give in just to keep the peace. I'm really sorry."
Yun Qiao didn't say it was okay, but just waved his hand and said, "Teacher Fang, this matter has already passed with me, so there's no need to mention it again. You just need to pay more attention to the children's movements and don't let this kind of thing happen again."
Fang Ping nodded gratefully. "Thank you for your understanding. Don't worry, I will pay more attention in the future."
Yun Qiao smiled and said nothing more.
After leaving the kindergarten, Yun Qiao and Zhao Yuanlu returned to the compound together.
Zhao Yuan said, "Yesterday was the first day of kindergarten. Many of the children were having their first day at school and weren't used to it, so they were crying and making a fuss. There were over thirty children in a class, but only two teachers. With over a dozen children to look after, the teachers must have been overwhelmed, so they didn't notice it in time. Don't take it personally."
"I didn't take it personally. This incident has definitely happened to me before."
Yun Qiao didn't lie. After all, He Yan came to fight in the end, and their child didn't suffer any loss.
Besides, children often have conflicts, and once they are resolved, it is over. If you take everything to heart, won’t you exhaust yourself internally?
"That's it," Zhao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Yun Qiao's account of what had happened. She spoke up for Fang Ping, "You'll understand after spending more time with her. Fang Ping is actually a very kind person. She's very gentle and patient. Dealing with children is actually very tiring. Children are young and immature, and there are those mischievous ones who get into trouble every day. After being a kindergarten teacher for a long time, sometimes you get so angry that you can't help but get angry at the children, like a spanking or something. But I've worked with Fang Ping for several years, and I've never seen her hit or scold any of the children in her class. She always educates them patiently."
"Hearing what you said, it's not easy to be a kindergarten teacher, taking care of so many children by yourself." Yun Qiao said.
"Yes, being a kindergarten teacher is quite stressful," Zhao Yuan said. "Look, when I sent my child to kindergarten, I also sent him to Fang Ping's class. I really didn't dare leave my child with anyone else except Fang Ping. I knew she taught a large class with older children, but there was nothing I could do. I had to leave my child with her because I felt at ease. If I had left my child with someone else, I would always worry about this and that, and I wouldn't dare to let go."
"Are you close to Fang Ping?" Yun Qiao asked her.
Zhao Yuan nodded: "We are classmates and have known each other for many years."
"No wonder." Yun Qiao nodded and said with a smile: "Since you trust her so much, then I believe she must be a good person."
Zhao Yuan said, "Don't worry, Yanyan's mother, Fang Ping will definitely live up to your trust."
After arriving at the compound, Zhao Yuan was anxious to go home and take care of her little daughter, so she parted ways with Yun Qiao at the fork in the road.
Yun Qiao did not stay outside for long. When he got home, he played with He Yi for a while. When Feng Juan had time, he and Yuanyuan took He Yi out to play, then he went back to the room, closed the door and started studying.
There was still a whole year before the college entrance examination, and Yun Qiao had already thought about applying to a college.
But both Capital Medical University and Beijing College of Traditional Chinese Medicine are national key universities and do not require entrance exams, so she needs to use her talents throughout the year. Only in this way can she beat the talented students from all over the country and get into her dream school.
Yun Qiao didn't dare to slack off in her studies, so when Qin Lin wanted to arrange a job for her, Yun Qiao refused without hesitation, saying that she wanted to stay at home with her children in the next one or two years and would talk about work later.
Although Qin Lin didn't quite agree with it, thinking that Yun Qiao was wasting her time by looking after the children at home and couldn't realize her self-worth, he still fulfilled her wish at Yun Qiao's insistence.
But she didn't forget to add at the end: "Just for a couple of years. After those two years, you'll still have to go out and work. A girl might feel relaxed and comfortable staying at home for a short time, but over time, you'll be out of touch with society, and then you won't be happy."
Yun Qiao replied, "I know, Dad. Don't worry, I won't stay at home forever."
