The Legend of Kindergarten
"Nofi seems very happy at kindergarten?" Shen Qi was a little incredulous. He recalled vague fragments of his own kindergarten days. He had been crying and having cramps for the past few days, and it took him about two weeks to gradually adapt to kindergarten life. Then, he mustered the courage a man should have and faced the bleak reality of life.
"Hmm..." Ou Ye took out her phone and took a memorable photo of Nofi's first day of kindergarten through the glass.
Inside the small classroom, Teacher Yan was sweating profusely and looked a little anxious, but she still smiled and kept comforting a little boy.
Teacher Yan held a small bowl in her left hand and a small spoon in her right, mixing shrimp and celery into the rice.
Teacher Yan knelt down in front of the little boy and earnestly advised, "Yiming is a man, and a man can't go without food."
Liu Yiming, who began his hunger strike at noon, held firm to his last act of defiance, remaining silent and refusing to eat.
Teacher Yan is panicking! Liu Yiming is behaving very strangely today; the well-behaved and intelligent boy has become a different person.
Children are the apple of their parents' eyes, and parents nowadays worry a lot about their children. Even during work hours, some parents will send WeChat messages to kindergarten teachers. "Is my XX being good? Has my XX eaten? Has he taken his nap? Teacher XX, my baby doesn't eat meat with even a little bit of fat, and doesn't like vegetables either, but please guide my baby appropriately, and try to get him to eat some vegetables. Thank you for your help."
99.99% of parents will ask their children that evening: What did you learn at kindergarten today? What games did you play? What did you eat? Was your teacher nice to you? How did you get along with the other children?
How could Teacher Yan not panic if Liu Yiming refused to eat?
If the kindergarten teacher takes good care of the children and makes them happy, the parents will definitely be all smiles and full of thanks.
How would parents feel if their child suffered even the slightest grievance or abuse at kindergarten?
"Yiming, have a bite, okay?" Teacher Yan glanced at the clock on the wall. In about half an hour, Liu Yiming's parents would be coming to pick him up.
Liu Yiming neither resisted nor fought back, nor did he eat. It was clear that this three-year-old child was preoccupied and had no appetite.
The main reasons why men are restless and unable to eat or sleep are nothing more than a few: career, money, and women.
What factors led Liu Yiming to such an extreme reaction? This requires further observation.
At this moment, Shen Nuo Fei came to Teacher Yan's side and said, "Teacher, I'm hungry."
People who can be kindergarten teachers have great love and patience. Teacher Yan said, "Nofi, you just ate an hour ago. Not counting snacks, you've had four meals today, which is enough nutrition. Nofi, be a good girl, go play with your toys for a while, okay?"
"Okay." Nophie was also a well-behaved and obedient girl.
Before playing with the toys, Nofi kindly told Liu Yiming, "You'll die if you don't eat."
Liu Yiming clenched his small fists, his originally fair face flushed red with excessive excitement, and his body trembled violently, as if he had suffered a tremendous blow that was unimaginable to ordinary people.
Teacher Yan felt a pang of anxiety; she seemed to have discovered the reason for Liu Yiming's unusual behavior.
The pent-up negative emotions finally erupted, and Liu Yiming burst into tears. He had cried several times today, and his tears had dried up, leaving only mournful cries.
Teacher Yan was at her wit's end. She wanted to cry, but she had to be strong. After all, she was a teacher, and she could only hide her bitterness with a smile.
In the hallway outside the kindergarten classroom, Shen Qi and his wife witnessed everything.
"You said in the car that Nofi was being bullied? She eats four meals a day, I think Nofi seems to be doing quite well. Unhappy girls don't have an appetite," Shen Qi said.
"Nofi ate too much. This morning at home, she even ate two vegetarian sandwiches." Before Ou Ye came, she was worried that Nofi would cry, make a fuss, or not adapt well to the unfamiliar environment. Now she is still worried that Nofi's weight will continue to exceed the standard.
"Honey, what I mean is, it seems like Nofi is bullying the other kids..." Shen Qi thought he knew his daughter well, just like every father thinks he knows his little darling.
As daughters grow older, fathers gradually and helplessly discover that their daughters have changed, and their thoughts are becoming increasingly difficult to understand.
Because Liu Yiming's earth-shattering, tear-jerking crying was so loud, a support team of kindergarten teachers quickly arrived at the small class.
The chaotic situation in the small class was brought under control to some extent, and Liu Yiming stopped crying, but still refused to eat.
Teacher Yan, who was facing a major crisis in her career, noticed Mr. and Mrs. Shen Qi secretly observing her from outside the door.
Sweating profusely, Teacher Yan approached Shen Qi wife. She had a thousand words to say, but ultimately only uttered one. "Your son, Nofi, did a fantastic job."
Whether Nofi performed well or not, Shen Qi wife had already witnessed it firsthand.
Ou Ye shook hands with Teacher Yan, her heart filled with gratitude. "Thank you, Teacher Yan. I will rely on you to take care of Nofi in the future."
"Professor Ou, you're too kind. It's what I should do." Teacher Yan thought to herself, "Your Nuofei was able to take care of herself on her first day of kindergarten. Shen Nuofei is truly an elite among children and a legend in the kindergarten world."
Shen Qi also offered a few words of praise, "In short, I am very grateful to Teacher Yan and all the staff of Xicheng Weihua Kindergarten for their meticulous care and education of my son Nuofei and other children. Children are the future of our country, and those who work in early childhood education are the most noble."
"Academician Shen, you flatter me." Teacher Yan felt unworthy of such praise.
"Nofi, let's go home." Shen Qi waved to Nofi, indicating that it was time to go home.
"Hmph!" Nofi turned her head away, not wanting to see Shen Qi's face; she was still angry with her father.
"Our girl is very clear about what she likes and dislikes," Ou Ye laughed, then called out in a loving motherly voice, "Nofi, let's go home."
"Okay!" Nofi ran to her mother and hugged her leg, looking like a little bird needing her parent's care.
"Say goodbye to Teacher Yan." Ou Ye taught her daughter to be polite when out in public.
Nofi waved her chubby little hand. "Goodbye, Teacher Yan!"
"Okay, bye-bye Nofi, see you tomorrow." Teacher Yan breathed a sigh of relief; Nofi was finally gone. Teacher Yan had about ten minutes left to get Liu Yiming back to normal.
Shen Qi drove home, with Ou Ye and Nuofei in the back seat.
Overall, Shen Nuo Fei's first day of kindergarten started with some hesitation but ended smoothly.
As parents, Shen Qi and Ou Ye naturally had many questions for Nuofei.
"Nofi, did you have fun on your first day of kindergarten?" Ou Ye was the first to speak.
"It's so much fun!" Children are innocent, and Nofi speaks her mind; if she thinks it's fun, then it really is fun.
