The bus drove slowly. It took about an hour to drive from Wuhu District to Tingshan District. It was impossible to teach the children a complete song in an hour! Even though the lyrics of "Good Night Meow" were simple, they couldn't recite it all at once.
However, it didn't matter even if they couldn't learn it all!
When they got off the bus, the little ones were all smiling and chattering away. From time to time, they would say "Good morning meow, good afternoon meow, good night meow …"
The children next to them would sing along. Then, a few thick-skinned ones started to meow like cats. In the end, the group of children who sang the song burst into laughter. This cheerful atmosphere made the students from the other classes look over curiously.
It was as if the small circle of the first grade class three was much more cheerful than the other classes!
…
According to the school's arrangement, the children's spring outing was to visit the Tingshan Botanical Research Institute in the morning.
The Tingshan Botanical Research Institute was located at the foot of Tingshan Mountain. It was a large botanical garden with all kinds of flowers and trees. There were rare plants and also plants with economic value. There were also special plants from different latitudes and different elevations!
Most of the plants were grown in the open. It was like a small flower field or a small forest. There were basically no protective devices. The sun shone warmly on them, and the sight of hundreds of flowers competing with each other made the children gasp in amazement.
There were also some plants that were transplanted from cold regions, tropical regions, and highlands. They required a special environment and were usually planted in greenhouses with machines to adjust the temperature difference.
The research institute hired a few university students to be tour guides for the children. As they led them around the botanical garden, they told them about the characteristics of the plants and the special care that the institute gave them.
Although the tour guides weren't very professional, and much of the content was still memorized or read directly from the nameplates hanging on the plants, Yang Yi saw that Xi Xi and her classmates were listening with great interest. From time to time, their little faces would reveal a surprised expression.
This was considered an eye-opener, wasn't it?
Yang Yi and the other two parents followed behind the group. At this time, they basically had no sense of presence, because the little ones were busy looking left and right. With so many flowers and trees that they had never seen before waiting for them, how could they care about anything else?
Unlike the other two parents, Yang Yi didn't listen to the explanation like a curious baby. Instead, he quietly took out his camera and took a few beautiful photos of Xi Xi, who was looking up at the peach blossoms or other plants.
There was no need to elaborate on the process of the visit in the morning. The only thing that Yang Yi found interesting was that at around ten o 'clock in the morning, Xi Xi was holding hands with Lan Xin and Lu Xiaoyu, walking side by side in the field. At this time, Chen Yuxuan approached them.
When Yang Yi saw it, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"Xi Xi, I want to ask you a question!" The little boy's voice became more and more hoarse compared to this morning. He probably shouted a lot along the way, and now he was using a lot of strength to speak.
"Well, what question do you want to ask me?" Xi Xi turned around curiously.
"That's right, that's right, has your father always been so cool?" Chen Yuxuan asked.
Xi Xi tilted her head, as if trying to understand what he was talking about. What was cool?
However, the little girl still fully agreed with Chen Yuxuan's praise. She couldn't understand, so she simply stopped thinking about it. She smiled and said proudly, "Yes, my PaPa is super cool!"
"I also like him very much. He can actually play the guitar!" Chen Yuxuan tried to shout and make a weak voice, "My brother also has a guitar, but he can't play it. Your father is too amazing!"
"Of course, her father is a singer!" Lan Xin, who was at the side, stole Xi Xi's words and said to Chen Yuxuan with some pride.
This was just a small episode, but after Yang Yi's performance in the car, many children in the first grade class three were interested in him.
Even the little boys who thought that he was very tall and scary at the beginning had long forgotten their initial impression of him. They only felt that this Uncle Yang was very approachable and very interesting!
At noon, when everyone was on the lawn outside the Institute of Botany, spread out small cushions and prepared to have a simple lunch together, the children came to Yang Yi one after another.
"Uncle Yang, can you help me open the bottle cap? I can't open it. " Wang Leilei was the first. The skinny little boy had a sad face and could only ask for help from Uncle Yang Yi, who he thought should be very powerful.
"Of course." Yang Yi smiled, took the bottle, gently twisted it, and opened the bottle cap.
"Wow!" Wang Leilei looked enviously at Yang Yi, who seemed to be effortlessly opening the bottle. His mouth made waves of exclamations, and his expression seemed to be saying: When can I be like you and have such great strength?
Wang Leilei was the first to start.
Yang Yi had just finished preparing the plastic cushions for Xi Xi and the others so that they could sit comfortably on the grass and eat the lunch they brought. However, just as he got up, a few little girls ran over and looked at him eagerly. One of the girls plucked up the courage to ask Yang Yi if Uncle Yang Yi could help.
Of course, Yang Yi would not refuse. However, the little girls' requests were endless, and they all felt that Yang Yi was very amiable. The more they interacted with him, the more they were willing to entrust their trust in him. Therefore, at noon, Yang Yi was almost as busy as Teacher Li Ruolan …
Back at Xi Xi's side, she, Lu Xiaoyu, Lan Xin, and Du Yuqian sat on the plastic cushions. In the middle of them was a relatively large lunch box. When the lunch box was opened, it revealed the neatly arranged Tong Gong Yaki!
This was also the lunch snack that Yang Yi had prepared for the little girls besides the sandwiches. These small and exquisite Tong Gong Yaki were specially made by Yang Yi. The soft dough was stuffed with sweet red bean paste sandwiched in the middle. When combined, the taste was extraordinarily good.
At first, Lu Xiaoyu and Du Yuqian were only attracted by this food that was said to be Ding Dang's favorite food. After tasting the first piece, they wanted to throw away their lunch!
"It's so delicious!" Du Yuqian praised and gave a thumbs up.
Lan Xin did not say anything. As she ate, her eyes darted around. She looked at Lu Xiaoyu, Du Yuqian, and the others for a while, then looked at the Tong Gong Yaki in the lunch box. It seemed like she was calculating whether there was enough left for her to eat.
Fortunately, because this snack was small, it seemed that Yang Yi had prepared a lot of it. Lan Xin was a little relieved.
"Xi Xi, why don't you eat lunch?" Lu Xiaoyu asked Xi Xi with concern. The little girl held her small lunch box, but her head turned back and forth, looking at her busy father.
"I'm waiting for my PaPa to eat together!" Xi Xi turned her head, blinked her beautiful big eyes, and said to Lu Xiaoyu.
"But your father is so busy!" Lu Xiaoyu said with some emotion, "Why is everyone looking for your father?"
"Because Uncle Yang is super nice!" Du Yuqian giggled and said, "I think, I think everyone is treating Uncle Yang as their own father!"
"No!" Xi Xi became nervous. She pouted and retorted, "PaPa is just my PaPa!"
