During lunch in the afternoon, Chen Xi and Aunt Zhang talked about Niannian's kindergarten in detail.
He really didn't understand why other children didn't like to go to kindergarten, but his child was clamoring to go to kindergarten all day long …
In order to respect the little girl's decision and to let Aunt Zhang go home without worry, Chen Xi went out after dinner and prepared to inspect the nearby kindergartens.
There was only one public kindergarten near Kangju Community. Although Niannian was a local, Aunt Zhang didn't want to send her there before, so she missed the registration time.
In addition, there were very few places for public kindergartens. Even if Niannian signed up, she probably wouldn't get a place in the end.
Therefore, Chen Xi now had only one choice left, and that was to send Niannian to a private kindergarten.
Private kindergartens were not as expensive as public kindergartens. Not only were the tuition fees expensive, but there were also often news of teachers abusing children.
At the thought of this, Chen Xi felt a little uncomfortable.
He really didn't dare to imagine what he would do if Niannian was abused in kindergarten …
At the thought of abuse, he couldn't help but think of several Korean movies he had watched, such as "Suwon", "Don't Cry", "The Furnace", and so on. He couldn't get over it after watching it.
Thinking of Suwon's cute and sensible appearance, he felt that Niannian would be as beautiful and cute as Suwon when she was two years old.
Chen Xi's thoughts drifted further and further away, but when he thought of some scenes in the movie, he suddenly became a little angry and couldn't help but burst out cursing, "Damn it! I almost forgot. I must prepare some protective measures for Niannian when I go back later. "
Perhaps this was the mood of every father.
This was especially true for the girl's father. They would always involuntarily let their imaginations run wild, imagining all kinds of possible scenarios.
Daughters were their fathers' little angels, the cutest existence in the world.
Chen Xi would never allow anyone to hurt Niannian.
Absolutely not!
Times were always improving. Chen Xi remembered that he didn't attend kindergarten when he was young. He spent his days in the mountains with his friends using wooden sticks wrapped in spider webs to catch cicadas and crickets. Sometimes, he would bathe in the river and steal corn and potatoes from the neighbor's house to roast.
At that time, people were very rough. They were not as particular as they were now. Even kindergartens had started to teach bilingual.
Some wealthy families had even begun to consider whether to choose the IB or AP courses at this time. Their children had not even said whether they wanted to go abroad, but their parents had already stipulated that they had to study abroad when they grew up.
Recently, the country had also opened up the two-child policy, which had led to the kindergarten market becoming a sea of blue. Countless educational institutions had sprung up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, from low-end kindergartens in small communities to famous overseas schools with hundreds of years of history. There were all kinds of choices.
He found an internet cafe and checked online for a while. Finally, he chose a private kindergarten that was not too far away from Kang Ju District.
The overall condition of this kindergarten was not bad, and its reputation was also good. The miscellaneous expenses added up to about 3,000 yuan a month.
There were two main reasons why Chen Xi did not consider the aristocratic kindergarten that cost 200,000 yuan a year.
First, the registration time was missed. Such aristocratic kindergartens generally had to be registered a year in advance before they could enter the waiting-list. After they were in line, they had to go through an interview before they could study. The whole process was very troublesome.
Second, Chen Xi estimated that Niannian would not be willing to stay in the kindergarten for too long.
After a few days of careful research, he found that he suspected that Niannian was very interested in the world of other children because Aunt Zhang had not taken her out to play since she was a child.
Therefore, Chen Xi planned to let Niannian try it first. If the little girl liked it, he would let her study in the best one through his connections.
If she didn't like it, he would bring her back.
Anyway, Chen Xi did not have any hobbies. Now, taking care of his daughter had become his biggest hobby …
After choosing the school, Chen Xi went back and told the little girl. She immediately clapped her hands happily. "I want to go to kindergarten, I want to go to kindergarten!"
Perhaps because she was too excited, the little girl made a fuss until 10: 30 tonight. Then, under the double coercion of Chen Xi and Aunt Zhang, she had to lie on the bed obediently.
Early the next morning, Aunt Zhang changed the little girl into a new white dress.
The little girl put on the new clothes and tied two ponytails. For the first time, she did not want Chen Xi to carry her. Instead, she ran out of the door by herself.
The kindergarten was not far away. It only took about ten minutes to walk from Kang Ju District.
After explaining the situation to the security guard, Chen Xi carried Niannian directly to the principal's office.
After the principal knew that Niannian was going to be a transfer student, he immediately became very enthusiastic. However, the implication was that Chen Xi had to pay an additional school building fee …
Chen Xi also had a general understanding of these things in private kindergartens, so he did not talk nonsense with him. He directly swiped his card and paid a series of fees for this semester's management fee, school building fee, food fee, and a series of other expenses.
After the card was swiped, nearly 20,000 yuan was gone.
This kind of kindergarten was not so particular. As soon as Chen Xi paid the fees, the principal immediately called a woman in her thirties. She looked quite kind.
The woman's surname was Wang. In the future, she would be Niannian's class teacher.
Teacher Wang took the father and daughter to the outside of the classroom. However, when Niannian saw more than twenty children about her age sitting inside, she suddenly felt a little timid.
She was obviously very excited just now, but now, like a frosted eggplant, she shrank into Chen Xi's arms.
"Papa, I don't want to come to kindergarten …"
Seeing this, Chen Xi suddenly did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Silly children were still afraid of strangers.
However, at this time, even if Chen Xi doted on the little fellow, at this moment, he could no longer do as she wished.
People had to go through this process. Since the child was here, she should go in. He must not let her develop the habit of backing out.
"Niannian, be good. You see so many children inside. If you go in with Teacher Wang, everyone will play with you."
"No, I'm scared …"
The little fellow's mouth twitched. It seemed that she was about to cry.
Chen Xi had no choice but to look at Teacher Wang.
Teacher Wang had seen this kind of situation for a long time. The children in this class would cry for most of the day when they came every day. In fact, Niannian's situation was considered good.
"Niannian, be good. Come, I will take you in. Don't be afraid. You will all be friends in the future."
Teacher Wang motioned to Chen Xi to give Niannian to her.
Chen Xi wanted to hand Niannian over, but the little fellow held his neck tightly and cried loudly, "Papa, don't go, Papa, don't go!"
"Niannian, don't be afraid. Papa won't go. He will wait for you outside. Go in and play with the other children, okay?"
Teacher Wang wanted to take the little fellow, but the little fellow hung on Chen Xi and refused to come down no matter what she said.
She buried her head in Chen Xi's shoulder and didn't say anything. She just cried.
Seeing this, Teacher Wang motioned to Chen Xi to comfort her, so Chen Xi quickly said, "Papa won't go. I will wait for you at the door. Niannian, you have to listen to me and learn to respect me, okay?"
"Okay, Niannian, don't cry. You won't look good if you cry too much."
"Look, the other children are laughing at you."
"Don't worry, Papa won't go. Papa will wait for you here. When you finish school, Papa will take you home for dinner."
"If you cry again, Papa will go back and tell Grandma that Niannian went to kindergarten to cry today and was laughed at by the other children."
"Niannian, good girl, don't cry, don't cry …"
After coaxing for a long time, the little fellow reluctantly got down from her father's shoulder.
Seeing this, Teacher Wang decisively coaxed and pulled the little fellow into the classroom.
After Niannian went in, Chen Xi didn't leave. Instead, he stood in the corridor and quietly looked at the little fellow in the room.
The little fellow sat alone on the small bench. Her movements were a little stiff, but the children next to her were quite friendly to her.
After seeing a new student, they surrounded the new student to comfort her under the teacher's instructions.
The little fellow adapted for a while. After several times she looked back and saw that Chen Xi was still at the door, she finally felt relieved and slowly played with the other children.
Chen Xi stood outside the door for a long time.
Finally, a teacher couldn't help but remind him that parents shouldn't stay in the park. After that, Chen Xi had to walk out of the kindergarten.
In fact, not to mention the little fellow, even he, as a father, was reluctant to leave.
Although it was just to send the child to kindergarten and go home at night.
But Chen Xi always felt empty in her heart, that kind of feeling was really strange …
