After Mo Fei's fan meeting ended, although it was still the end of September, on Monday, Springfield Kindergarten started its new school term! The happiest person was, of course, Xi Xi. During this summer vacation, other than Lan Xin, who often played with her as a neighbor, she rarely saw her other friends.
Therefore, when Yang Yi sent Xi Xi to the door of the new classroom, the little girl kissed her father on the cheek and couldn't wait to wave at him. "Goodbye, Papa!"
Hearing the joy in her voice, Yang Yi couldn't help but feel a little jealous. This little girl wanted to play with her friends of the same age, but she didn't stick to her father every day and yearn for his embrace like before!
But this was all growing up …
Like other worried parents, Yang Yi looked in through the window. He saw Xi Xi in the classroom, surrounded by a group of friends. The little girl's happy smile was like a ripple, rippling in circles.
Yang Yi watched for a while, then turned around and prepared to leave. He was also preparing to "report" to Jiangchuan today — he didn't need to register. He just needed to find the vice president of the School of Classical Music, Pang Bodong, whom Hu Songnan had helped him contact, and listen to his arrangements.
However, when Yang Yi turned around, he saw David and his daughter, Lu Weisha.
"Leon!" David greeted him cheerfully. Previously, he couldn't distinguish the Yang from Yang Yi, so Yang Yi simply gave him his English name.
This tall foreign little girl was still a little shy. When she first saw Yang Yi, she was actually very happy because Yang Yi could speak her language (although only a little). However, when she saw Yang Yi looking over, she restrained her joy.
However, it had to be said that there was still a gap between the standards of raising a child and the father's. Lu Weisha was wearing a pair of purplish-red pants and a short-sleeved shirt with flower petals printed on it. This combination could be said to be very ordinary!
Unlike Chinese parents, David was not worried about whether their children could integrate into the new environment. After he brought Lu Weisha to Mr. Mu, he left with Yang Yi.
"Leon, I forgot to ask. What do you do for a living?" David and Yang Yi were communicating in English, but he was curious as to why Yang Yi could speak Swedish, which was a relatively unpopular language, so he asked.
This was a good question. Yang Yi was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to answer.
The things he did were too complicated. You could say that he was a writer or a singer, but he also had other identities. It was all over the place. How should she put it?
Yang Yi pondered for a moment and simply chose his favorite character. He smiled and said, "I opened a coffee shop."
"Coffee shop? I didn't expect you to like coffee too! " David said in surprise, "Sorry, I'm not discriminating. It's just that when I talk about China, I think of tea just like when I talk about England."
As if they had a common language, Yang Yi and David chatted.
…
After the two fathers left, Mr. Mu brought Lu Weisha into the classroom. The children were still chatting with their favorite children. Except for a few children near the door who curiously looked at Lu Weisha, who looked different from them, the rest of the children's attention was not affected at all.
"Lu Weisha, sit here for a while. After class, I will introduce you to the other children, okay?" Mr. Mu asked Lu Weisha to sit down on a chair and then said with a smile.
Lu Weisha's English wasn't as good as her father's. After all, she hadn't studied English systematically before she went to school, so she didn't really understand. However, the general meaning wasn't hard to understand, so she nodded in confusion.
Mr. Mu still had to welcome the other children. She helped Lu Weisha put her school bag and lunch box in her cupboard. Then, she asked Mr. Shen in the class to take care of this child who did not speak well. She then walked out.
Lu Weisha sat on the chair with one hand on the table and the other hand clutching her clothes uneasily. She looked at the other children enviously, but she did not understand what they were saying at all. She always felt isolated.
It was just like Xi Xi when she first came to kindergarten a year ago.
At this time, someone in Xi Xi's small group finally noticed Lu Weisha.
"Foreigner, there's a foreigner there." Lan Xin, who liked to look around, shouted as if she had discovered a new world. However, she seemed to be worried that she would be heard, so she lowered her voice in embarrassment.
Lan Xin often went abroad with her parents. She was not as scared of the blonde Lu Weisha as she was at the beginning. She even felt that she was normal. After a few glances, she looked away.
"Foreigner? What foreigner? " Chen Shiyun, who liked to join in the fun, was a little hoarse today. However, she still desperately asked loudly to make her presence felt.
Xi Xi and her friends followed Lan Xin's finger and saw Lu Weisha, who was sitting there uneasily.
The little girl's eyes lit up. She walked out from among her friends and called out in a clear voice, "Lu Weisha!"
Lu Weisha was stunned for a moment. She turned to look at the person who called her.
When she saw Xi Xi, Lu Weisha thought for a while. After all, foreigners looked the same to Chinese people.
“Hej！ Lu Weisha! " Xi Xi did not forget the Swedish sentence that her father taught her last week. Therefore, she ran to Lu Weisha and happily greeted Lu Weisha.
Lu Weisha quickly stood up and waved her right hand. She replied to Xi Xi, "God _ morgon, XIXI."
She was saying good morning to Xi Xi, but Xi Xi was confused.
What was this little friend saying? Why couldn't she understand?
XIXI understood, but what about the first sentence?
"Hey, what did you say? I don't understand. " Xixi smiled awkwardly. She stuck out her tongue and switched back to Mandarin to speak to the other party.
Lu Weisha was also in a daze. She and Xixi just stood there, looking at each other.
Xi Xi's friends followed behind them.
"She's so tall!" Nan Zhaoyu, who had not started to grow, looked at the tall Lu Weisha enviously. He whispered to Yang Luoqi, who was beside him.
"Xi Xi and I have seen her before." Yang Luoqi still felt a little distant from Lu Weisha, but she also had a lot to say, so she couldn't help but tell Nan Zhaoyu. "She's a foreigner. It's super strange. Xi Xi also said that foreigners have other colors, such as black and red."
Nan Zhaoyu looked at Yang Luoqi in surprise. It seemed that Yang Luoqi's words had made him realize something magical.
These two were more timid, but Chen Shiyun was very brave. She swaggered up and stood beside Lu Weisha. She stretched out her hand and said in a hoarse voice, "Xi Xi said that you are her friend, and I am also Xi Xi's good friend. So we are friends too … My name is Chen Shiyun!"
Chen Shiyun paused for a moment before adding the last sentence. She had forgotten to say her name at first.
Lu Weisha looked at Chen Shiyun in confusion. She didn't understand what Chen Shiyun was saying at all.
However, Lu Weisha could still feel the kindness in Chen Shiyun's hand.
"Maybe she's introducing herself." Lu Weisha still wanted to integrate into this environment, so she hesitated for a moment before shaking Chen Shiyun's hand.
Yes, the communication between the two children was like a chicken talking to a duck, but they still shook hands like friends.
Xi Xi looked at the grinning Chen Shiyun and felt happy for her. The little girl giggled and helped to introduce, "She's Lu Weisha! Chen Shiyun, I'll teach you how to talk to her, okay? Tell her, Hej! Lu Weisha. "
Chen Shiyun was a little carried away. She waved her hands and shouted, "Hey, Lu Weisha!"
"No, it's Hej!" Xi Xi corrected.
But it didn't matter. When Lu Weisha heard Chen Shiyun call her name, she smiled happily. She quickly nodded and said in English with a very strange pronunciation, "What's your name?"
Xi Xi knew a little English. She understood this sentence. She said to Chen Shiyun enthusiastically, "Chen Shiyun, she's asking for your name."
"My name is Chen Shiyun!" Chen Shiyun patted her chest and said.
"Name!" Xi Xi was afraid that Lu Weisha couldn't understand, so she pointed at Chen Shiyun and said, "Chen Shiyun."
"Chong Yuexi?" Lu Weisha repeated, but her pronunciation was completely wrong.
"It's Chen Shiyun, not the one you're talking about!" Chen Shiyun shouted and laughed.
Xi Xi and Chen Shiyun were still helping Lu Weisha to understand Chen Shiyun's name. Lan Xin, who was next to them, was also eager to try. She wanted Lu Weisha to know her. And this lively scene still moved the two timid children, Yang Luoqi and Nan Zhaoyu. When they saw that Lu Weisha didn't seem to be afraid, they also wanted to talk to her.
When Teacher Mu came back, she saw a few children surrounding Lu Weisha and talking. They were waving their hands and feet. They didn't know what each other was saying, but they seemed to be very happy.
This scene made Teacher Mu dumbfounded.
What's going on?
She was worried that Lu Weisha wouldn't be able to blend in with the other children because of the language barrier! There were foreign children in other classes, but it was easier to communicate with those who spoke English. After all, the kindergarten also taught the children some simple English words and conversations.
But Lu Weisha spoke Swedish, which no one understood!
Of course, Teacher Mu didn't know that because of Xi Xi, Lu Weisha wasn't ostracized and could be accepted by the other Chinese children so quickly.
