The teacher just let it go when he saw people coming and said, "Parents still need to pay attention to their children's growth," and then started to arrange a relay team to meet them.
In fact, this kind of relay race in kindergarten is mostly for entertainment, because the parents who come include both fathers and mothers, and the number of boys and girls is not equal when running, so their strengths are definitely different.
There are three classes of students of Zhiyuan's age.
Three teams ran.
The rankings were very close, and gradually in the end, Zhiyuan was already last in the class, but fortunately, he was not far behind the top two.
Teachers, parents and children were all jumping and shouting encouragement.
Yun Xiaoshan's father came today. He ran very fast and caught up with the second place, who handed the baton to Yun Xiaoshan.
But Yun Xiaoshan was a fat man and couldn't run at all. He ran until his face turned red, but he still ended up being the last one. Moreover, when he was about to reach the end, Lin Qingping stretched out her hand to take the baton, but Yun Xiaoshan fell and dropped the baton...
Everyone was shouting: Pick it up! Pick it up quickly!
Even Yun Xiaoshan’s own father shouted this.
When Yun Xiaoshan heard his father's voice, he picked up the baton with a sad face and handed it to Lin Qingping.
After Lin Qingping took it, he chased after it with all his might.
Lin Qingping was considered a good runner. She was about 20 years old and had lived a life of climbing mountains and swimming in rivers in her previous life. Among all the young people in the village, she was more hardworking and able to endure hardships than men. However, after marrying into the Gu family, she started to act like a spoiled child.
Her efforts only shortened the distance between her and the second place. When she was halfway through the race, the first place had already passed the baton.
Looking at Zhiyuan who was ready to take the baton and start running in front of him, Lin Qingping made another effort. Finally, when he passed the baton to Zhiyuan, the second child had only run about five meters, while the first child had already run halfway.
The teachers and children in Zhiyuan's class were a little discouraged. He would definitely be the last one...
"If Li Zhiyuan ran faster, he might be able to get second place," said the nursery teacher.
Another teacher chimed in, "Well, he's not good at anything. He's as skinny as a monkey. Even if we rely on him..."
Zhiyuan rushed out like an arrow amid the teachers' discussions. With his small body but great energy, he surpassed the second teacher before he could finish his words.
The teacher got stuck in the middle of his sentence and couldn't say anything. He was so shocked that he could fit an egg in his mouth.
Zhiyuan is still moving forward, and the distance between him and the first place is getting smaller and smaller.
The cheers on the playground have turned into screams, and the teachers, parents and children from several classes are all excited.
Even Lin Qingping was extremely nervous. She followed Zhiyuan closely and cheered for him loudly.
Zhiyuan finally surpassed the first one in the last ten meters, and when he reached the finish line, he had already left the first one far behind.
"Li Zhiyuan! You are awesome!"
The voice was very familiar. Zhiyuan turned around and saw that it was the teacher who had insisted that Yun Xiaoshan apologize even though it was clearly Yun Xiaoshan who was at fault first, the one who was impatient to listen to him and frowned when she heard his hometown accent, the one who never glanced at him in the corner during class...
Now, they were clapping their hands excitedly and saying he was "terrific".
Zhiyuan didn’t know how to describe his mood at the moment. He should be happy, but for some reason he couldn’t be happy.
He was young but very sensitive, and in this short moment he understood a truth: there are many people in the world who like you not because of who you are, or in other words, they don't like you but just because you have done what he (she) needs.
"Wow, Li Zhiyuan, you run so fast!"
"Li Zhiyuan! We are first!"
Those classmates who never talked to him and acted as if he didn't exist now gathered around him and talked to him enthusiastically. He never knew that they all knew him...
Zhiyuan's gaze passed through the noise and looked at Lin Qingping who was at the outermost edge.
She also saw him and gave him a bright smile.
In Zhiyuan's eyes, only her smile remained, and all the noise and excitement were gone...
Because of the parent-child sports meeting, the kindergarten was closed in the afternoon.
So Zhiyuan and Lin Qingping went home at noon.
Lin Qingping was very happy along the way and started cooking for him when she got home.
Sister Zhao bought some meat today, so Lin Qingping cooked it herself and made braised pork. She also cut out a part of it, chopped it up, and made eggplant boxes.
Looking again, I saw that Sister Zhao had kept two fish in the basin, which she had also taken care of. She chopped the fish meat into paste, rolled them into balls, and fried them for food.
I also steamed an egg with lotus leaves.
Three people, eating four dishes for lunch, surprised Sister Zhao, "What kind of happy event is this?"
"Of course! Our Zhiyuan came in first today!" Lin Qingping said proudly, "Should we celebrate? Zhiyuan, are you happy?"
Zhiyuan nodded.
Of course he was happy, but not because he came in first.
Zhiyuan's eyes flashed over and over again the scene of her running in from the kindergarten, and the words: I am Zhiyuan's mother...
"Eat quickly, Zhiyuan, why isn't he eating?" Lin Qingping urged him.
Zhiyuan picked up the chopsticks silently.
In fact, Zhiyuan seemed to be worried throughout the whole afternoon.
Zhiyuan's parent-child sports meeting is over, and Lin Qingping also plans to go back to school for classes in the afternoon.
After eating, she sat at the desk and read a book. Zhiyuan also took a book and sat next to her, but he turned the pages of the book one by one without reading anything.
When it was almost time for class, Lin Qingping packed up and went back to school.
Zhiyuan stood up and saw her off.
"You don't have to send me off. Just play at home by yourself." Lin Qingping touched his head.
Zhiyuan insisted on not going and wanted to see her off.
In fact, Lin Qingping felt that the child had been worried the whole afternoon. Well, maybe she had something to say to her.
However, when they reached the bus stop, he still said nothing and just walked with her silently.
"Zhiyuan, is there something you want to tell me?" Lin Qingping couldn't help it.
The tram is already lurching towards us, it will be too late if we don't say anything now.
Finally, Zhiyuan asked in a low voice, "Is it true that only the person who gave birth to a child is the mother?"
Lin Qingping was stunned.
Zhiyuan means...
"Can I...can I call you mom?" After he said this, his face turned red and his head was buried in his chest.
There was something hot rolling in Lin Qingping's eyes.
She squatted down, looked at his red face, and told him firmly with tears in her eyes, "Yes! Of course! I am very happy and honored to be Zhiyuan's mother."
Zhiyuan lowered his head, tears were about to fall, but there was still a trace of doubt in his heart, "Then...what about my father?"
