Nowadays you have to take a lot of trouble to enroll your kid at a school.
The slogan of burden reduction has been shouted for twenty years, and then the burden on parents has become heavier and heavier. For ordinary families, the pressure for money and connections will be very great in supporting two children’s studies at the same time.
Of course, Gu Yixin and Lu Mingshi’s family could not be regarded as an ordinary family.
At this time, Gu Yixin, a very doting parent, was squatting at the door of the classroom with great worry. There was a piece of paper on the front door of the classroom with three words “Interview In Progress” written on it.
How else to say that the current education was very avant-garde and farsighted? Even if the financial resources, the fame, the connections, and everything of the parents were in place, children still had to get interviewed in person if they wanted to go to the best kindergarten.
Gu Yixin looked very nervous.
He had worked so hard to become the nation’s top-grade athlete to get them a place in the best elementary school, but he had neglected the fact that his children still had to go to kindergarten first.
Half an hour later, the door of the classroom finally opened, and the interview of that batch of children was over.
Gu Yixin immediately stood up in high spirits and stood at the door with growing spirits, waiting for his older child.
Having absorbed the excellent genes of his parents, Lu Jiujin, who was half a head taller than the average children around him, was particularly eye-catching in the crowd. He was wearing a woollen vest and shorts knitted by Chen Ma, and he was walking out with his mouth pursed and his head down.
When Gu Yixin saw his son’s expression, the father’s heart in him immediately shattered to pieces.
He squatted down in front of the little guy seriously, “Nine pounds, did they bully you?”
Lu Jiujin raised his pouty bun face, and the four-and-a-half-year-old preschooler looked at his kind old father with a very complicated expression.
“No.” He babbled solemnly.
Gu Yixin breathed a sigh of relief and stroked the soft hair of his baby, “Then why are you unhappy?”
Lu Jiujin’s pout looked exactly the same as Lu Mingshi’s.
“Because the questions they asked were all about you and papa. That was my interview. But they were more interested in you guys.”
Gu Yixin thought to himself that it seemed that parents being celebrities would bring too much external interference to the growth of children.
He suddenly felt a little guilty, “Then nine pounds, how did you answer?”
Lu Jiujin raised his chest, “I told them that I hope to answer some more professional questions!”
As the biological son of President Lu, Comrade Lu Jiujin, who had been supported by advanced nutrient solutions and energy sources since the embryonic period, was of course very intelligent.
Gu Yixin felt the proud look of his eldest baby to be so cute that he put his son on his shoulders, and the father and son walked out of the kindergarten in high spirits1Aaaw~ ><.
Of course, Lu Jiujin passed the interview easily and successfully entered the best kindergarten in the country to study.
Or rather, play.
After all, the kindergarten curriculum was really a bit simple for this little comrade who could skillfully recite Tang and Song poetry to the value of pi.
So his daily routine was to be the first to answer all the teacher's questions, solve the tasks of everyone in the class, and then take everyone to share all kinds of loot, including biscuits, candy, chocolate, and lego dolls when playing on the slide, and so on.
As a result, Lu Jiujin was respected by all the children in Green Water Bay Kindergarten.
He was very pleased. Because after half a year, Zhangting will also come. So then he will be able to protect his younger sister.
Half a year later, the kid, Gu Zhangting also finally passed the interview without a hitch and came to the kindergarten.
Lu Jiujin soon found that he was thinking too much —
His sister didn't need any protect. She had a stronger buff than him. She could retreat to make a living with her face2She is really good-looking., and she could control violence with violence.
Gu Zhangting punched and kept off those little boys who tried to attract attention in various unfriendly ways and then they all ran away crying.
Spring went and autumn came. Time flew by and the two children who caused no trouble entered elementary school in the blink of an eye.
Other parents:
During the semester: Work during the day and supervise the children's homework at night, check the homework, take photos, and upload them;
During the vacations: Call the child to get up at 6 o'clock in the morning to take pictures to prove that they had done the radio calisthenics, and take a photo at 9:00 pm to prove that the child had gone to bed;
Send meticulous blessings to the class teacher during the festival holidays, thinking about what gift would not cause trouble and be ingenious enough…..
Lu Mingshi and Gu Yixin：
Working during the day and each person would go alternately to personally pick up their children from school; During the holidays, the two kids would get up and take pictures of each other, and at night they would pretend to sleep and take pictures of each other.
The class teacher was an edamame fan of Gu Wumao when she was young, and the deputy class teacher had bought one million shares of Lu Group.
They didn't know what kind of fairy life they were living.
It was another worry-free day during the winter vacation.
Eight-year-old Lu Jiujin and seven-year-old Gu Zhangting were working on their winter vacation homeworks in the study room. Three days into their winter vacation, they already had only two diaries left.
Writing a diary was okay for Lu Jiujin. But it was an unbearable weight for Zhangting. At this time, she was dully chewing on the shaft of the pencil, and she wanted cry as she blankly watched her brother writing on the paper.
If her brother finishes his homework first, then she would lose.
Gu Zhangting, who had the blood of an Olympic champion flowing in her body, would never admit defeat!
She decisively took the homework book and went to her fathers to find source materials.
At this time, Gu Yixin was looking at his own reflection in the mirror.
"Wife, I have a lot of acne on my face." He said to Lu Mingshi, really distressed.
But Lu Mingshi didn't hear him, he was taking a shower.
Lu Mingshi finished taking a bath and was standing in front of the mirror with his head lowered to blow dry it. While blow-drying, his gaze suddenly shifted, and it sensitively captured a white hair on the top of his head.
There really was one and it stood there towering. He didn't notice it yesterday, but it looked really obvious today.
Lu Mingshi looked at the mirror and pulled the white hair, but the hair that had just been washed was very slippery, and the position was not right So he couldn't locate it accurately.
When Lu Mingshi came out after blow-drying his hair, Gu Yixin was sitting cross-legged on the bed, still staring at the mirror and not very happy.
Seeing him coming out, Gu Yixin moved to the side, put down the mirror, and pointed to his face, "Look —"
Lu Mingshi took a closer look and said affirmatively, "You have pimples."
Gu Yixin: ……
He felt that he was suffering from excessive internal heat. After all, in terms of his mental age, he was no longer a kid, and there was no way to associate him with pimples.
Even according to the physical age of this body, he was already twenty-six years old.
Gu Yixin said with a laugh, "How old do you think I am?"
When Lu Mingshi counted, he realized that Gu Yixin had already passed the age of pimples.
But he couldn't digest this fact quickly in his heart.
In Lu Mingshi's perception, his partner was much smaller than him, and he always felt that he was still young.
"…… Can't you have pimples at the age of twenty-six?" Lu Mingshi snorted softly, "I will ask An Qiao to prescribe some medicine for acne tomorrow."
Gu Yixin thought that a chief scholar had come to you as a family doctor. He still wanted to say something, but then he heard Lu Mingshi ponder and say:
"Yes. We can also ask him to prepare some nutrient solution with black hair effect in passing."
Lu Mingshi lowered his head and asked Gu Yixin to check the white hair on his head. Gu Yixin gazed at it and folded his fingers to count, "One, two, three……"
The more Lu Mingshi listened, the more nervous he became. He thought there was only one, but it turned out that there were more than one.
Gu Yixin wanted to help him pluck it, but he sensed that Lu Mingshi was gloomy and dejected.
Gu Yixin paused for a moment, and still gently helped Lu Mingshi pull out his white hair, and then hugged him.
"It's okay. As a matter of fact, isn't this good too?" Gu Yixin said, "We originally wanted to grow old together. We can't do that if our hair won’t get white."
……
Lu Mingshi's heart was a little bitter, and he finally nodded heavily.
Gu Zhangting returned to the study with her homework in her arms.
When Lu Jiujin finished writing one, he saw that his little sister had come back and her workbook was still blank. So he asked if he had gotten inspiration from dads.
"I got it." Gu Zhangting replied. She earnestly wrote "January 30, 2027. Clear weather." on the first line of the blank page.
Lu Mingshi woke up very early that morning. He stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes. Gu Yixin was still sleeping soundly. The heavy curtains shaded the light well, and the room was still dark.
There was an extra little person between him and Gu Yixin. Lu Mingshi took a closer look, and with eyes adapted to the dark, he recognized that it was his second child.
At some time, Gu Zhangting had run into their room, got into the quilt, and lay side by side with Gu Yixin, taking long breaths of the same rhythm.
Lu Mingshi pulled the quilt up a bit for her, and then found a hardcover notebook spread out beside the pillow.
He lifted it up and glanced at the keywords with the aid of the faint light of the night lamp.
"Diary."
Of course, under normal circumstances, you should not read your children's diaries.
But Lu Mingshi remembered that this book was used by the second baby to do her homework. Xiao Zhangting probably came to the bedroom to ask him to check her homework and it happened that today she didn't want to sleep by herself, so she ran over and slept next to them.
So Lu Mingshi saw Gu Zhangting's…… Writing page.
Chapter one:
"Today was a sunny day. In the morning, the bright red sun rose. It was so red. It was so red. It was as red as a big red apple……"
(The four hundred words used to praise how red the sun is are omitted here.）
Chapter two:
"Today was another big sunny day. In the morning, the red sun rose again, still so bright red……"
(The three hundred words used to praise how red the sun is are omitted here.）
Lu Mingshi was stunned.
He thought to himself that my baby is really hardworking —
If I had known she was having such a hard time writing her diary, I would have taught her.
What "Today my dad took me to the park and I was met head-on by a rockery" "Today I helped a grandmother cross the road and the red scarf3red neckscarf / by extension, a member of the Young Pioneers on my chest seemed more vivid"……
It was difficult for my baby to write a diary as a second-grader. Lu Mingshi, who is as loving as a father like Gu Yixin, feels more and more uncomfortable when he thought about it.
When he was about to put down his diary, the last paragraph caught his eyes again.
"…… I heard my daddy say the idiom ‘Grow old together'. Tomorrow, I’ll remember to ask him what this idiom means.
Papa doesn't seem to like his white hair. But papa is very handsome, and white-haired papa is also very handsome.
If papa just doesn't like white hair, then I can give my hair to papa."
Lu Mingshi was really going to shed tears of an old father this time.
He leaned down and kissed the little baby on the forehead. He muttered noiselessly, "Papa is not worried that the white hair will not look good, but he is worried that the time that he has with you will not be long enough."
Lu Mingshi got back into the quilt and took a snooze.
Gu Yixin seemed to sense in his sleep that his kid was there next to him, and his arms unconsciously stretched out to hold the other two people. It was a natural protective posture.
The room next door.
Lu Jiujin, who was sleeping alone, slept sprawled out on his back. The little man's room was decorated in a very naval style. There was a small slit in the window, and the soft curtains were slightly lifted by the morning wind. The corner brought in another day of bright morning light.
The ray of morning light fell on the desk by the window.
The diary was spread out, and the wind lifted a page of the paper, reflecting the last paragraph written by the child, Lu Jiujin —
"Dad, papa, little sister, and me. We are a lucky family."
The author has something to say:
Nine Pounds is Jiujin's English name. ╰(*?︶`*)╯
