Chapter 36 Chapter 36 Jiangzai opened his eyes in confusion...
Since it was decided that Jiang Zai would go to this kindergarten, Xia Li immediately decided to go directly to the principal to register.
Let's send Jiangzai to kindergarten as soon as possible and let him enjoy his daily school life.
This time, Xia Li brought all kinds of documents with her. Fortunately, it was a private kindergarten. Although Xia Li and Jiang Zai's household registration was not in Guangcheng yet, as long as all the procedures were completed, Jiang Zai could still go to school here.
This is also the reason why Xia Li did not consider public kindergarten at first.
Although the household registration issue would have to be considered after the child had been in school for a few more years, Xia Li still had several years to spare and could take her time.
Jiang Zai and Xia Pingzhi sat on a bench in the small square of the kindergarten waiting for Xia Li to come out of the principal's office.
He and his aunt sat on the bench together, but because Jiangzai was still short and had short legs, his calves could only hang on the ground, and his feet dangled from side to side.
Xia Pingzhi let the child snuggle up to her. It was already noon, and the child had just finished his meal and was feeling a little sleepy.
The two of them are now under the shade of the trees, so it won't be that hot if they are not exposed to the sun.
The benches were back to back, with other families sitting behind the two people.
People did not leave immediately after the event ended, but chose to register their children directly.
"You are the child's grandmother, right? Have the child's parents gone to register and pay the fees?" She turned slightly to speak to Xia Pingzhi.
"Oh, yes. The child's mother went to the principal to register," Xia Pingzhi replied. "You guys have decided to stay here too?"
The child's grandmother nodded, looking at her granddaughter sitting obediently beside her. "Yes, her parents have looked at several kindergartens, and today they came to see this one and thought it was pretty good. The tuition isn't expensive, and both her parents are working, so they can afford it. Don't you think parents work so hard for their children? Even though this child of ours is just a granddaughter, we love her dearly. We hope she has a bright future."
"Your family is really nice. I think your granddaughter is very well-behaved and pretty." Xia Pingzhi praised the child.
When the grandmother heard this, her face lit up with joy. As a parent, who doesn't like others praising their children? It makes them happier than when they are praised themselves.
Others also praised her child's good looks. "Your boy is even prettier than most girls. I just saw his mother. They say boys look like their mothers, and it's no wonder. I think neither of our children is particularly naughty. We can be friends in kindergarten. Come on, Tingting, say hello to this little brother."
Little boys develop later than little girls, but the grandmother saw that the boy was almost the same height as her granddaughter, so she guessed that the boy was a little older than her child.
Afterwards, the two grandmothers exchanged their children's birth dates, and it turned out that Jiang Zai was half a year older than the other one. So he really was the older brother.
When Jiangzai heard the word "brother," his eyes lit up. He simply turned his head to look at his younger sister. He was the youngest of all the children at home, and all the older ones had to call him "brother." Today, Jiangzai was very happy to be a "brother" for once.
But after all, it was just a stranger they just met. No matter how happy Jiang Zai was in his heart, the little child just looked at the sister opposite with a happy smile, and the two children didn't say anything.
In the principal's office, Xia Li was a little troubled at this time.
After all, it was her first time to be a parent and also her first time to go through the admission procedures for her child. She found that the other party also asked her to fill out a questionnaire about her parents' situation.
She sat on the sofa in the office, holding a pen, scratching her head.
Other parents were also sitting on the sofa, and their pens were moving non-stop.
Charlie secretly glanced at what was written on the paper. The other person seemed to notice and raised his eyes. Not knowing what she was going to do, he thought she was asking for help.
"What's wrong? Can't you write?" The content of this sentence sounded a bit provocative at first, but Xia Li would never think so, because the other person's concerned expression was not fake at all. He was just asking Xia Li normally whether she could write. If not, that look meant that he could do it for her after he finished writing.
Charlie quickly smiled and shook her head. "No, no, I was just thinking about how to fill it out. When I don't know how to fill in some places, can I ask you?"
The other person was happy and nodded.
This time, Xia Li didn't look around anymore and decided to just write.
She laid the paper out again with an expressionless face and began to look at it intently.
I held my breath, thinking, it's just a family situation questionnaire, how could she be stumped by this?
Humph, Xia Li’s character is that she is not afraid of difficulties. The more difficult it is, the more she fights. She faces challenges head-on and never gives up.
The first column that needed to be filled in was the student's basic information. Xia Li was about to write the two words "Jiang Zai" carefully, and she almost wrote them down. However, when she finished writing the word "Jiang", a flash of light suddenly flashed in her mind, and she realized something.
She paused, bit her lip lightly, and then added the word "Yi" after "Jiang" stroke by stroke.
This was the name Jiang Dong gave to the child before he was born. Because both of their names consisted of single characters, Jiang Dong insisted on giving the child a single-character name, saying it would make them feel like a family. As for why he chose the character "易," there's no particular meaning behind it; it simply meant he hoped the child would have a smooth life and that the name wouldn't be difficult for others to pronounce.
The family had no objections, and they quickly registered him. So, now Jiang Zai's full name on the Jiang family's household registration book is "Jiang Yi".
However, after the name was chosen, it was rarely used. The current nickname "Jiangzai Jiangzai" was given by Xia Li, and Jiang Dong naturally followed his wife's wishes. When Jiangzai was still a baby, Jiang Dong would call his son "Jiangzai" in front of his swaddling clothes, and Jiang Dong's mother also called him "Jiangzai" after that.
Maybe Jiang Zai now thinks that his name is "Jiang Zai" and he probably won't be able to react if you call him "Jiang Yi".
After that, Charlie filled in the boxes for gender and age.
When it comes to the situation of the middle family members, there are several contents after "father" and several contents after "mother".
This time, Xia Li also put pen to paper. She just wrote it down. No one knew the truth anyway. She had hesitated before, so she didn't dwell on it now.
Swish, swish, swish, the sound of the ballpoint pen rubbing against the paper can be heard as the writer writes non-stop.
The person next to him finished writing. He glanced at the woman who had seemed unable to fill out the form earlier and saw that she was writing extremely quickly. Surprisingly, her handwriting was also very beautiful. He had actually thought that she couldn't write before, and he felt a little embarrassed.
Finally, Xia Li signed her name on the paper, filled in the date, and handed the form to the principal.
The principal sat behind his desk and processed the admission procedures for the parents who wanted to send their children to the kindergarten.
The head teacher was wearing glasses at this time. The forms filled out by the parents had to be handed to her personally. Then she would ask some questions based on specific needs and then ask them to pay the fees. This was a complete process.
Xia Li was waiting in line at the back, and she was bored, so she stood there and listened to the conversation between the principal and the parents. After listening to the people in front of her, she found that this kindergarten was indeed full of hidden talents. It seemed that her son Jiangzai was marrying up here, as the parents in front were really wealthy.
In fact, the kindergarten's tuition standards are clearly listed here, so those who visit and experience it will have a good idea of what's happening. Even if the average family can afford the one-semester tuition, they probably won't feel it's necessary. After all, if parents think about it, it's just a kindergarten, and it's not worth it. They don't know what their children will learn, and they still have to spend money on their children's education in the future.
As for Xia Li, she was not stingy with money. She thought that since this kindergarten was good and she could afford it, she might as well go there. She didn't think too much about it. She felt that her savings were enough for Jiang Zai to finish kindergarten comfortably.
As long as she works for one day, she will have one day's wages.
When it was her turn, Charlie also waited for the headmaster to see if there was anything she needed to know.
As a result, they asked two questions. First, the principal asked if the child's father could spare time to spend with the child. The family information form stated that the father's work was confidential. Second, could the family afford the kindergarten's expenses? If this was a problem, they asked for careful consideration.
Xia Li didn't feel anything when she was standing at the back, but when the headmaster asked the question, she suddenly had the illusion of being asked questions by the teacher in class when she was a child.
"We get along, we get along OK, but not too much..."
"Yes, my family can afford it..."
The gardener nodded and said, "Okay, go to the office next door to pay the bill." He handed her another bill.
As if she had survived a disaster, Xia Li breathed a sigh of relief. After going out, she found the place where her aunt and Jiang Zi were sitting. She waved the bill in her hand a few times, silently saying, "Pay! Pay!"
The two people under the tree saw her. Her aunt nodded, not knowing whether she understood or not. There was no hope for Jiangzai, but Xia Li was happy that he waved to her as well.
She smiled knowingly and continued walking forward. After just two steps, she reached the payment area.
There is no need to bother looking for it, just go where there are many people.
A moment later, Xia Li came out with two pieces of paper. She walked up to the two people with a smug look on her face and unfolded the admission notice to show them to Auntie and Jiangzi. "Come, let me see your admission ticket." She paused for a moment before saying, "Oh, I'm sorry, Jiangzi, I forgot you couldn't understand it right now. Haha. Auntie, come and see."
Xia Li felt so happy. The sense of accomplishment of completing a task was so joyful and her heart was full.
Xia Pingzhi held up the notice and read, "Sunshine Kindergarten, Jiang Yi, little student. Jiang Yi?" Auntie glanced at Jiang Zai in surprise, "Jiang Yi, little student, is that you?"
Jiangzai's eyes were wide open, not understanding what was happening.
Xia Li laughed at him and called him a little fool. "Jiang Zai, that's your real name. Your real name is 'Jiang Yi', and Jiang Zai is just your nickname." After saying that, she smiled again.
No, we are too happy today, and the three of them are all together, so we must do something memorable.
"Come on, Auntie, let's go eat first, and then go to the photo studio to take some pictures."
