My life has the gift of growth.

Chapter 4 Born to be a strong man
Three years of kindergarten life are a bit boring for Bai Yu. He has long understood the common sense of life taught by Teacher Wanzi.

For slightly more free extracurricular activities, he was basically pestered by Han Yingying or other children and found it difficult to escape. In the end, he had to participate in various boring competitions.

Zhou Yulan was very happy about this. She packed a bookcase at home to display the various medals and trophies he had won:
Blue Sky Kindergarten Smart Star, Blue Sky Kindergarten Self-care Model, Tianhai City Children’s Mixed Group 800-meter Run Runner-up, Tianhai City Children’s Encyclopedia Knowledge Quiz Champion
But it is undeniable that these experiences caused some changes in his mentality. He started to truly integrate into the world from a bystander.

"Maybe this is growth."

Looking at the words "Dreams set sail, happy graduation" hanging on the wall in the distance, Bai Yu, as the graduate representative of Lantian Kindergarten, finished his speech and bowed to the audience.

There was continuous applause during the period, and many parents in the audience frequently looked sideways, amazed by a child's speech.

"Looking forward to meeting again, the end is also the beginning, my baby said it so well."

As soon as Bai Yu's butt touched the stool, Zhou Yulan gave him a "mua" on his forehead. Next to him, Han Yingying's mother Wang Xin also said at the right time:
"Yingying, you also have to learn from Bai Yu, do you know?"

"Oh."

Han Yingying was forced to wear a small skirt and felt uncomfortable all over. Her legs were dangling in the air.
"I wish I were a boy like Bai Yu, so that the two of us can go to the toilet together."

The parents at the same table burst out laughing. Wang Xin was also laughing, but the bitterness at the corner of her mouth could not be concealed.

The two most famous children in the entire kindergarten are Bai Yu and Han Yingying. The former is because of his intelligence, while the latter is because of his stupidity, which is exactly the opposite.

She had already anticipated that Han Yingying would be criticized by teachers and ridiculed by classmates all day long after she entered elementary school. Fortunately, Han Yingying would not lose her only friend.

She looked at Zhou Yulan gratefully, and Zhou Yulan nodded towards her. The two good best friends and good mothers had already made an agreement.
The graduation ceremony of Lantian Kindergarten is coming to an end. The commemorative vlog is played on the big screen. Teacher Maruko bids her final tearful farewell.
The children who were separated for the first time in their lives burst into tears, and many parents were also moved and shed tears.

Han Yingying, who was unresponsive at this time, suddenly realized that she was about to separate from Bai Yu. She grabbed Bai Yu, who was taking a group photo with a group of children, and said seriously:
"Bai Yu, can I see you again?"

Feeling the strong grip on his fingertips, Bai Yu nodded helplessly, "Probably."

Other children kept asking this, and he always answered like this, but in fact, at least half of them would never see him again.

Shuguang Primary School near Lantian Community has a very average reputation and its facilities are outdated. Therefore, as long as parents have ideas and resources, they will do everything possible to send their children to other schools in Tianhai City instead of enrolling nearby.

As a result, these children will also embark on different paths in life, and then gradually forget this memory until one day they open the photo album and smile.

"We have always been friends." Han Yingying innocently held out her little finger.

"You are really troublesome." Bai Yu reluctantly hooked up.

He would never have done such a thing before, but now he is used to his role as a child.

The two fingers connected, and a warm touch came. Han Yingying, who was still addicted to the agreement, was pushed to the edge by the combined efforts of several little girls.

"Bai Yu, can the two of us also pull the hook?"

"Bai Yu, can you write a blessing in my guestbook?"

"Bai Yu, what's your mother's phone number?"

Not far away, Zhou Yulan was communicating with a group of parents. Many people were asking about her parenting experience.

This time she did not put all the credit on Bai Yu as she did in the past, but casually mentioned a few suggestions she read from the book. The parents were very happy to hear this.
As Teacher Maruko said: "A child's excellence is closely related to the teachings of his parents in order to be recognized. Otherwise, he would be judged as Bai Yu's mother is a bit arrogant."

"By the way, Bai Yu's mother, which elementary school do you plan to let Bai Yu go to?"

The fashionably dressed woman touched the head of the little girl beside her legs, "I plan to let my Qi Yu go to Longyao Private Primary School. If there is a chance, I hope they can continue to be classmates."

"Yes, Bai Yu's mother, where will Bai Yu go to elementary school?" the parents around asked the same question.

Zhou Yulan glanced at Bai Yu, who was being entangled by a group of little girls, and smiled: "It's at Shuguang Elementary School nearby."

"No, I'm afraid it's a bit of a waste of Bai Yu's talent."

"Bai Yu's mother, my husband knows the principals of several elementary schools. Do you want me to ask him to ask Bai Yu?"

"I can also help. I have a relative in the Education Bureau."

"No, thank you everyone. Shuguang Elementary School is very good and close to home." Zhou Yulan politely refused.

"That's it, okay then." Several parents looked at each other and smiled.

After continuing to chat for a while, the children also finished taking photos, and the parents were preparing to go home. At this time, Director Wu of Sunshine Kindergarten led a woman in a suit over. "Bai Yu's mother, let me introduce to you. This is Sun Xue from Crescent University. Teacher Sun, she heard about Bai Yu and wanted to come over to understand Bai Yu's situation."

"Hello, Ms. Zhou, do you have time now? I want to give Bai Yu a test. If he passes the test, I will consider recommending Bai Yu to enter the children's class of Crescent University." Sun Xue said straightforwardly.

When they heard the words "Crescent University", the parents all looked over.

Crescent University is one of the top five universities in Longzhou, with an average admission rate of only 0.8%. The students who can get into it are all the best, and the admission requirements for the children's class are more stringent than normal admissions. one.

Many parents looked at Zhou Yulan with envy, but Zhou Yulan looked apologetic.

"Teacher Sun, please make a trip. I have decided to let Bai Yu attend the nearby Shuguang Primary School, so the test is better."

Suddenly, Sun Xue frowned. The other parents were also very surprised and did not understand Zhou Yulan's thoughts.

"Bai Yu's mother, you may not know much about the children's class. It has the best educational resources in the entire first district, and Bai Yu's talents can be maximized there." Director Wu said.

"Bai Yu's mother, I know you are reluctant to let go, but the child's future is more important." Qi Yu's mother was also persuading.

Zhou Yulan smiled bitterly and still shook her head.

Regarding the question of where Bai Yu should go to school, at first she, like other parents, wanted her children to receive the best education. Some well-known primary schools also sent invitations, and she agreed at one point.

But not long ago, her heart-to-heart talk with Teacher Maruko completely changed her mind.

“For three years, Feather has always felt to me like a person who is being chased. In order to run faster, he unconsciously throws away the baggage he acquired along the way one by one.

Classmates, teachers, toys, games, these precious emotions in children are only fleeting in Feather. Even the smile, I have only seen it once.

Sometimes, I can't help but wonder, apart from you, does Feather have anyone he likes in this world? In other words, does he still care about anything?

I'm not worried about Feather's future achievements in a certain field. I'm worried that he will develop an unhealthy personality and lose his ability to love. "

After hearing these words from Teacher Maruko, she suffered from insomnia for a month.

As a mother who lives with her day and night, she can also feel the abnormalities in her children.
But most of the time, she saw Bai Yu's self-disciplined and upward side from her own perspective, but ignored the repression behind it.

People are animals, especially children. If they feel that their own survival is threatened, they will struggle hard. Bai Yu is obviously among them.

She tried to understand the reason, but there was always a thin veil between the mother and son, and she could not get into her heart. Just like most adults, they report good news but not bad news to their family members.

Now she can only hope that a stable environment will allow Bai Yu to grow up happily without too much pressure.

"I'm sorry, Teacher Sun." She said more firmly.

"Maybe you should ask Bai Yu for his opinion. I think he is tired of staying with ordinary children."

Sun Xue handed Zhou Yulan a business card, "Hello, call me as soon as possible. I won't stay in Tianhai City for too long."

"Okay." Zhou Yulan reluctantly accepted.

After the graduation ceremony, Bai Yu returned home and played with the magic costume toys that Teacher Maruko secretly gave him.

This magic costume toy has the same evolution card in the crystal. However, it requires at least three growth cards to fuse, and now he only has one.

A few minutes later, Zhou Yulan came over.

She watched Bai Yu dismantle the simulated magic outfit worth five thousand federal coins into a pile of parts, and then the two of them reassembled it together.

"There are teachers from Crescent University coming over today. Do you want to go to their children's class?"

Zhou Yulan tightened the screws and said casually, "The conditions there are much better than Shuguang Primary School, and there are many children like you, but they may need boarding. Or we may move to Crescent City."

Bai Yu was silent for a while, corrected the deformation component that Zhou Yulan installed upside down, and then said the answer he saw on Zhou Yulan's face:
"I don't want to go too far."

"Well, mom will help you refuse later," Zhou Yulan pretended to be disappointed, "I know you can't live without mom."

Bai Yu ignored it, took the toys and went back to the room.

He has become accustomed to Zhou Yulan's appearance, she is more childish than him, and occasionally talks in a teasing manner, but it is undeniable that she is really good to him and is worthy of his protection.

"Aren't you going to play now?" Zhou Yulan watched Bai Yu run away.

"I'm going for a run downstairs," Bai Yu said.

"Mom will stay with you." Zhou Yulan raised her hand.

"Ten thousand meters."

"Mom is very tired today, so I'll just watch you upstairs." Zhou Yulan picked up the toy telescope and waved goodbye to Bai Yu.
