After breakfast, the little dumpling wiped her mouth with a napkin and put her small backpack on her back.
In the past, the little one would always act cute with Mommy and ask her to help put on her backpack.
However, after experiencing the change of her daughter getting up on her own in the morning, Xiang Xinyue was not surprised, even feeling relieved in her heart: her little rabbit had finally grown up.
An Shao-hua was getting ready to help his daughter put on her adorable child-sized helmet. Their pet rabbit, Tutu, loved this helmet that An Shao-hua had gotten from overseas through a friend. The helmet was decorated with many stickers of popular TV male leads, which Tutu particularly liked.
"Daddy, the bunny doesn't want to wear its little helmet today. It will mess up its fur." The little ball of milk frowned slightly, showing some resistance.
Because of Xiang Xin Yue's brainwashing, the aesthetically challenged An Xiaotu thought her hairstyle today looked pretty.
The fact is, it's indeed pretty.
Xīng Xīn coaxed Yue, saying, “Don’t worry, Mommy braided Rabbit’s hair very tightly, it won’t get messed up. If you don’t wear a helmet, the wind while riding in the car will make Rabbit’s hair all messy.”
The little dumpling tilted its tiny head and pondered.
She remembered when it was very cold, the strong wind messed up her hair, and her mommy had a hard time combing it. It even hurt her a little.
"Well then, Dad, be careful and don't mess up your hair."
An Shaohua helped his daughter put on her small helmet and then led his daughter's hand out the door. They went downstairs.
"Bunny, stay here and wait for Daddy. Don't run around, Daddy is going to get the car."
An Shao-hua reminded his daughter, then walked to the parking lot beside the security booth not far away, pushing over his nearly new second-hand motorcycle.
He and his wife's salaries are decent, but after the down payment on the house, each month's salary is just enough to pay the mortgage. After deducting the expenses for raising their daughter, there isn't much left over.
To make it easier to send his daughter to kindergarten, he gritted his teeth and used most of his remaining savings to buy this second-hand motorcycle.
The little dumpling sitting in the front of the car, grabbed both side mirror handles with both hands and smiled sweetly at An Shaohua behind him, "Daddy, can I sing you a song"
"Okay." An Shao Hua responded with a smile, before even hearing his daughter sing, he praised her first, "Our little bunny sings so beautifully, Daddy especially likes listening to bunny sing."
"Our kindergarten teacher taught us this beautiful song, it's called 'One Piece of Candy', Dad, do you know how to sing it"
A piece of candy
An Shao-hua pondered for three seconds in her mind. There wasn't this song on the children's music CD at home.
He showered her with compliments, saying, “Our little bunny is amazing! Daddy and Mommy can’t even do it. Only our bunny can sing ‘One Candy.’ ”
Hearing this, the little dumpling was especially proud and happy.
"Daddy, I'm going to sing now, one, two, three..." She loosened her grip on the rearview mirror handle, made a "one, two, three" gesture, and started singing, "I found a candy on the roadside, handed it to the People's Police Uncle, Uncle nodded at me with the candy, I happily said goodbye to Uncle..."
"......" An Shaohua.
Isn't this song "One Dollar" It came out of his precious rabbit's mouth, and 'money' turned into 'candy'.
"...... handed to the police officer, Uncle holding candy..." Singing here, the little dumpling stopped, "Dad, can the candy collected by the rabbit not be given to the police uncle Police uncles are adults and definitely don't like eating candy..."
"Little glutton." An Shaohua scolded his daughter with a smile, then took the opportunity to educate her. "Bunny, remember, you can't eat things you find on the road. You know that If you eat it, your stomach will hurt, and you'll have to go to the hospital every day to get lots of shots. At night, you'll even need a big butt shot."
My daughter was sick before, she cried for a whole day after getting an injection, and she woke up crying from nightmares at night.
At the word "injection," little An Xiaotu's small body trembled.
"Bunny, don't get a shot!"
"That rabbit can't eat just anything, if it eats randomly it has to go to the hospital for injections."
"Daddy, I don't eat candy picked up on the road. So I'll give a piece of candy to the policeman. That's so good, will you reward me"
"Reward the rabbit with two candies."
"...."
An Shao-hua drove his motorcycle, chatting with his daughter all the way. After about twenty minutes, they arrived at the kindergarten.
At the school gate, he handed his daughter over to her teacher. Watching his daughter's back disappear as she walked away with her small backpack, he turned and went to work.
In the classroom
An Xiaotu hummed a little tune as she put her small school bag into the drawer of her desk. Her deskmate hadn't arrived yet.
"Rabbit, you're so pretty today." Class monitor Li Haoyun walked over and sat in the chair next to her.
Last weekend he went to the cinema with his parents to watch a movie. The little girl's hairstyle in the movie was like a rabbit's, but Rabbit's was prettier than the one in the movie.
The little dumpling was very happy, her mommy didn't lie to her after all.
"My mom did my hair for me," she said, then let out a slightly arrogant hum.
At this age, most children are very straightforward and don't understand those roundabout ways of speaking. Li Haoyun stammered a little, "Rabbit, come to my house after school, my dad...my dad bought some really delicious chocolate when he was on a business trip."
“Okay...” An Xiaotu was just about to agree with “Okay,” but then the figure of that handsome boy who had run past her window flashed in her mind. Her tone suddenly changed, “No! I won’t go to your house even if you have chocolate, hmph~”
Before school, Mommy said that she had been a good girl waking up on her own lately, so she gave her a lollipop.
"Why" Li Haoyun found it hard to accept.
Before, the bunny also said that he looked really good and wanted me to like him.
...
The little dumpling said coldly, "Squad leader, I don't like you anymore. Go back to your seat and don't talk to me."
Before, she wanted to sit with the class monitor. But when the monitor saw Zhang Yunyao had chocolate, he went to sit with her instead, which made her very sad. She only ate half a bowl of dinner.
Her mommy told her that a rabbit can only like one handsome brother at a time. If she has a handsome brother she likes, she shouldn't talk to other boys too much, because the handsome brother will get angry if he sees her talking to other boys.
That handsome older brother is so tall, he could lift her high, and maybe even carry her princess-style. Who knows, he might even take her for a ride on her father's motorcycle.
The little boy in kindergarten can't lift her up high.
She decided: She was going to marry the tall and handsome older brother! From now on, she would only like the handsome older brother.
She cannot talk to other boys, she can't make her handsome brother angry!
Even children have pride. When the class monitor, Li Haoyun, was harshly rejected by a pretty girl, he was deeply hurt and walked back to his seat with a dejected expression.embarrassment and heartache." Muttering to himself, he thought that the Tang An couple were nothing short of bandits. Not only did they come for a meal, but they also extorted their household's belong...
