The weekend sun shone brightly, and the two families had just finished their enjoyable time at the farmhouse; the children's laughter and cheers still seemed to echo in their ears. However, as the new week began, little Lu Xinxin's mood changed.
On Monday morning, when Qian Ziyi was about to take Lu Xinxin to kindergarten, the little girl suddenly became reluctant. She clung to her mother's leg, her little face full of pleading and whining: "Mommy, I don't want to go to kindergarten."
Qian Ziyi looked at her daughter, feeling both amused and somewhat helpless. She knew that after enjoying the freedom and joy of the weekend, children often needed some time to adjust their mood and readjust to the regular routine of kindergarten life.
"Xin Xin, many of your friends and teachers at kindergarten are waiting for you. They all miss you very much." Qian Ziyi gently stroked her daughter's hair, trying to ease her resistance with gentle words.
Lu Xinxin pouted and shook her head: "But, Mom, I want to be with you."
Qian Ziyi understood her daughter's feelings, and she decided to use some special methods to encourage her: "Xin Xin, if you can bravely go to kindergarten today, Mom will take you to your favorite park tonight."
A hint of surprise flashed in Lu Xinxin's eyes: "Really, Mom? We can go to the park tonight?"
“Of course, Mom keeps her word,” Qian Ziyi replied confidently, her tone full of encouragement and trust.
Lu Xinxin thought for a while and finally nodded: "Okay, Mom, I will go to kindergarten."
Qian Ziyi felt relieved. She knew her daughter needed not only encouragement, but also understanding and support. She took Lu Xinxin's hand and walked with her to kindergarten, continuing to chat with her along the way to distract her.
At the kindergarten gate, Lu Xinxin was still a little reluctant, but with her mother's encouragement, she bravely walked through the gate. Qian Ziyi watched her daughter's retreating figure, her heart filled with pride and anticipation.
That evening, Qian Ziyi kept her promise and took Lu Xinxin to her favorite park. In the park, Lu Xinxin played to her heart's content, her laughter and joy proving once again that Qian Ziyi's approach was correct.
When Gu Yunxi heard about this, she also praised Qian Ziyi's parenting style: "Ziyi, you're doing a great job. What children need is our support and encouragement."
The two families continue to support each other as the children grow, sharing every moment of their development, making this friendship and the warmth of family the children's most precious treasure.
After dropping Lu Xinxin off at kindergarten, Qian Ziyi didn't go straight home. Instead, she drove to Gu Yunxi's house. Her brows were furrowed, and she looked anxious and helpless, clearly troubled by her daughter's refusal to go to kindergarten that morning.
Gu Yunxi opened the door and couldn't help but laugh when she saw Qian Ziyi's expression. She knew Qian Ziyi was a very responsible mother, but she could also sense her helplessness at that moment.
"Ziyi, come in and sit down, don't stand at the door." Gu Yunxi invited Qian Ziyi into the house, and teased, "Is our little princess refusing to go to kindergarten again today?"
Qian Ziyi sighed, sat on the sofa, and said helplessly, "Yes, Xin Xin was being all cutesy and unreasonable this morning. I really don't know what to do with her."
Gu Yunxi smiled and comforted her, "Don't worry, children always have times like this. Ruizhe had a similar experience when he was little, but it will get better gradually."
Qian Ziyi nodded, but still looked somewhat worried: "I know, but every time I see her like that, I feel like I haven't done enough."
Gu Yunxi handed Qian Ziyi a cup of tea, sat down next to her, and said earnestly, "Ziyi, you've done a great job. Children need time to adapt to new environments, and as parents, we need to patiently guide and support them."
As Qian Ziyi listened to Gu Yunxi's words, her anxiety gradually eased. She knew that Gu Yunxi had extensive experience in parenting, and her advice was always so pertinent and effective.
"Thank you, Yunxi. I learn a lot every time I chat with you," Qian Ziyi said gratefully.
Gu Yunxi gently patted Qian Ziyi's hand: "We are friends, it is only right for us to help each other. Besides, I believe Xinxin will adapt to kindergarten life soon, so don't worry too much."
The two chatted for a while longer, and Qian Ziyi's mood improved noticeably. She knew that as a mother, she needed to give her daughter more patience and confidence, just as Gu Yunxi had given He Ruizhe.
After leaving Gu Yunxi's house, Qian Ziyi felt much lighter. She decided to have a good talk with Lu Jingang that evening to find a way to help her daughter adapt to kindergarten. She believed that as long as the whole family worked together, there was no problem that couldn't be solved.
As time went by, Lu Xinxin gradually adapted to kindergarten life. She began to enjoy playing and learning with her peers. Seeing her daughter's changes, Qian Ziyi finally felt relieved.
One afternoon, Qian Ziyi visited Gu Yunxi's house again, this time in a much more relaxed mood. She smiled and said to Gu Yunxi, "Yunxi, do you know what? Xinxin looks forward to going to kindergarten every day now. She says she's made a lot of new friends."
Gu Yunxi smiled with relief upon hearing this: "That's wonderful, Ziyi. I knew Xinxin would adapt. Children are more adaptable than we imagine."
Qian Ziyi nodded: "Yes, I've been reflecting on this lately. Maybe I've been too nervous. I should have more faith in her abilities."
Gu Yunxi gently patted Qian Ziyi's shoulder: "As mothers, we are always worried that our children will encounter difficulties. But sometimes, we need to learn to let go and let them explore and grow on their own."
The two sat on the sofa in the living room, continuing their conversation about their parenting experiences and insights. Gu Yunxi shared some funny stories about He Ruizhe after he started elementary school, while Qian Ziyi recounted some amusing stories about Lu Xinxin in kindergarten.
“Xin Xin recently learned a new song, and she sings it to me every night,” Qian Ziyi said, her eyes shining with maternal love.
Gu Yunxi replied with a smile, "Ruize is the same. Every time he learns something new, he can't wait to show it to us."
Just as the two were chatting happily, He Ruizhe came home from school. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Qian Ziyi and excitedly ran over: "Aunt Qian, how is Xinxin doing lately?"
Qian Ziyi replied with a smile, "She's very nice, Ruize. She always mentions you and says she really wants to play with you again."
He Ruizhe's eyes lit up: "Really? I really want to play with Xin Xin too. We can go to the park together next time."
Gu Yunxi suggested, "Why don't our two families go on a picnic together in the park this weekend, so the children can have a chance to play together?"
Qian Ziyi immediately agreed: "That's a great idea. I'm sure Xin Xin will be very happy."
On the weekend, both families brought their children to the park. The sun was shining brightly, a gentle breeze was blowing, and the flowers, trees, and shrubs in the park seemed exceptionally vibrant. The children ran on the grass, chasing frisbees, their laughter echoing throughout.
Gu Yunxi and Qian Ziyi were preparing picnic food on the side. Watching the children's happy figures, both of them had happy smiles on their faces.
"Yunxi, look how much fun they're having," Qian Ziyi said with emotion.
Gu Yunxi nodded: "Yes, seeing them so happy makes me feel like all my worries have disappeared."
He Ruizhe and Lu Xinxin found a shady spot on the grass. The two children sat there, sharing snacks they had brought from home. He Ruizhe also showed Lu Xinxin some knowledge he had recently learned at school.
“Xin Xin, look, these are planets in the solar system,” He Ruizhe said earnestly.
Lu Xinxin looked on curiously: "Wow, Brother Ruizhe, you know so much."
The two children's friendship was strengthened during the picnic, and their laughter became the most beautiful music in the park.
As the sun set, the two families packed up their belongings and left the park with their children. This day not only provided the children with a pleasant weekend but also allowed the parents to experience the warmth and happiness of family.
