As time went by, Qian Ziyi's daughter, Lu Xinxin, reached kindergarten age. After careful consideration, Qian Ziyi and Lu Jingang decided to send Lu Xinxin to the same kindergarten that He Ruizhe had previously attended. They hoped that their daughter could thrive in this loving and caring environment, just like He Ruizhe.
"Xin Xin, look, this kindergarten has lots of fun toys and friendly teachers." Qian Ziyi led Lu Xin Xin on a tour of the kindergarten, trying to ease her nervousness.
Lu Xinxin looked around curiously, her little hands tightly gripping her mother's clothes, but her eyes also revealed her curiosity and anticipation for the new environment.
Meanwhile, He Ruizhe has grown into a first-grade elementary school student. Every morning, he carries his schoolbag and leaves home with his mother, Gu Yunxi, on his way to school.
"Ruize, study hard at school and get along well with your classmates." Gu Yunxi always reminded her son on the way to school.
He Ruizhe nodded earnestly: "Mom, I will. I'm a big boy now, and I can take care of myself."
Looking into her son's determined eyes, Gu Yunxi felt a surge of pride and satisfaction. She knew that her son was ready to embrace new challenges, learn new knowledge, and make new friends.
At kindergarten, Lu Xinxin quickly adapted to her new environment. She played and learned with her friends, and every day was filled with joy and exploration. The teachers' care and encouragement made her feel warm and confident.
"Mom, I learned so many things at kindergarten today. I love it here!" Lu Xinxin excitedly reported her day's achievements to Qian Ziyi after school.
Listening to her daughter's description, Qian Ziyi was filled with gratitude and happiness. She knew that choosing this kindergarten was the right decision, and her daughter would have a wonderful start here.
He Ruizhe also performed exceptionally well at school. He not only studied diligently but also enjoyed helping his classmates, becoming a model student in the eyes of both teachers and students.
"Ruize, you've done a great job at school. Mom is so proud of you." After hearing the teacher's praise for He Ruizhe, Gu Yunxi became even more convinced that her parenting style was correct.
As the children grow, Gu Yunxi and Qian Ziyi's friendship deepens. They often discuss parenting experiences and share stories of their children's growth, becoming indispensable friends in each other's lives.
For the first two days at kindergarten, Lu Xinxin was very happy, full of curiosity and interest in the new environment. However, on the third day, the novelty wore off, and she began to feel uneasy and resistant.
In the morning, when Qian Ziyi dropped Lu Xinxin off at the kindergarten gate, the little girl suddenly stopped. She hugged her mother's leg tightly, her little face full of reluctance: "Mom, I don't want to go to kindergarten."
Qian Ziyi was somewhat surprised, but she wasn't angry or impatient. She squatted down to be at eye level with her daughter and asked in a gentle voice, "Xin Xin, tell Mommy, why don't you want to go?"
Tears welled up in Lu Xinxin's little eyes: "Mom, I want to be with you, I don't want to leave you."
Qian Ziyi gently stroked her daughter's hair and patiently comforted her: "Xinxin, Mom knows you may feel a little scared right now, but kindergarten is a great place. You can make many new friends and learn many interesting things."
Lu Xinxin sobbed, but her mother's words of comfort gave her a little solace.
Qian Ziyi continued, "Moreover, Mom will pick you up every day, and we can do lots of fun things together in the evenings. The teachers and children at kindergarten are very friendly, and they will all like you."
Lu Xinxin's emotions gradually calmed down, and she began to think about what her mother had said. Qian Ziyi took the opportunity to encourage her: "Let's try again today. If you still don't like it after today, Mom will consider your feelings, okay?"
Lu Xinxin hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded: "Okay, Mom, I'll try again."
Qian Ziyi felt gratified. She knew that it would take time for her child to adapt to a new environment, and she was willing to give her daughter enough support and understanding. She took Lu Xinxin's hand and walked into the kindergarten together.
At the kindergarten, Lu Xinxin was warmly welcomed by her teachers and other children, making her feel welcome and accepted. Lu Xinxin gradually relaxed and began to participate in group activities.
Before leaving, Qian Ziyi waved goodbye to Lu Xinxin: "Xinxin, good luck, Mom will pick you up this afternoon."
Although Lu Xinxin was still a little reluctant, she was ready to try a new day. Qian Ziyi watched her daughter's retreating figure, her heart filled with love and anticipation.
That afternoon, Qian Ziyi arrived at the kindergarten gate early, hoping to pick up Lu Xinxin as soon as possible and give her a greater sense of security. As the kindergarten gate opened, the children came out one after another. As soon as Lu Xinxin saw her mother, a smile immediately appeared on her face, and she ran over to her.
"Mom!" Lu Xinxin rushed into Qian Ziyi's arms and hugged her tightly.
Qian Ziyi gently stroked her daughter's back: "Xin Xin, how was your day at kindergarten? Did anything interesting happen?"
Lu Xinxin nodded and began to recount her day at kindergarten: "Mom, today I learned a new song, and the teacher also praised me for drawing very well."
Hearing her daughter's description, Qian Ziyi smiled with relief: "Really? That's wonderful! Xin Xin is amazing!"
Lu Xinxin's mood was noticeably better than in the morning; she seemed to be starting to adapt to kindergarten life. Qian Ziyi decided to continue encouraging her: "Xinxin, if you can go to kindergarten as happily as you did today tomorrow, Mommy will give you a little surprise."
"What surprise is it, Mom?" Lu Xinxin asked curiously.
Qian Ziyi smiled mysteriously: "I won't tell you now. If you behave well tomorrow, Mom will give it to you."
The next day, Lu Xinxin indeed did not resist going to kindergarten anymore. Although she was still a little reluctant, she was able to bravely walk through the kindergarten gate. Qian Ziyi watched her daughter's back as she walked away, her heart filled with pride.
In the afternoon, Qian Ziyi arrived at the kindergarten gate with a surprise she had prepared—a cartoon doll that Lu Xinxin loved most. Lu Xinxin's eyes lit up as soon as she saw the doll: "Wow, this is my favorite doll!"
"Mom, you're so good!" Lu Xinxin happily took the doll and hugged it tightly in her arms.
Qian Ziyi smiled and pinched her daughter's little nose: "Because Xinxin was very brave today, Mommy wants to reward you."
From that day on, Lu Xinxin gradually overcame her fear of kindergarten. She began to enjoy her time at kindergarten, made friends with her classmates, and learned a lot of new knowledge under the guidance of her teachers.
Gu Yunxi was very happy to hear about Lu Xinxin's progress. During a phone call with Qian Ziyi, they shared their experiences and joys of parenting: "Ziyi, how is Xinxin adapting now?"
Qian Ziyi replied happily on the other end of the phone, "Yunxi is much better now, and she looks forward to going to kindergarten every day. The children's adaptability is truly amazing."
Gu Yunxi responded with a smile: "Yes, our children are all growing up and learning how to bravely face life."
The two families continue to support each other on their children's journey of growth, sharing every moment of their development, making this friendship and the warmth of family the children's most precious treasure.
