Chapter 379: Three hundred seventy-nine Healthy Growth_1

At the dinner table, the father and daughter were enjoying their meal together.

Even though my wife was working overtime, fortunately my daughter still dutifully ate her dinner.

Since Dong Yuwei had left, and they weren’t familiar with the new teacher Gu Chen.

Out of curiosity, he then asked his daughter how her day at kindergarten was.

Pian Ran, hearing this question, became interested and started to chatter nonstop.

But because she was quite young, she basically talked about whatever came to mind.

There was a fight over toys between two kids in her class that led to the teacher’s scolding.

They also played house after class where she took on the role of the mother.

And the time during music class when the teacher had them all hold hands and sing nursery rhymes together.

She even led two kids to dig up an ant nest in the school yard with sticks.

Then caught a bug to show her classmates, which unfortunately ended up making a boy cry on the spot.

Gu Chen couldn’t help but wipe the sweat from his forehead when he heard this.

Although Pian Ran looked adorable, she was born in a village.

Going into the mountains and catching cicadas and grasshoppers with other kids was routine for her.

Compared to the other kindergarten children who grew up in the city, she was indeed much tougher.

"Uh, Pian Ran, the teacher didn’t scold you, did she?"

Gu Chen asked apprehensively since his daughter had suffered depression before his rebirth.

Although she seemed happy and cheerful every day.

But Gu Chen thought this was something he should pay more attention to.

Upon hearing this question, Pian Ran shook her head and then ran back into her room.

She returned with a notebook in her hands, which puzzled Gu Chen until she opened it.

That’s when he discovered there was a little red flower sticker inside.

Only through his daughter’s account did Gu Chen come to know.

The kindergarten teacher, after understanding the whole story, didn’t reprimand Pian Ran for making her classmate cry.

Instead, she praised her in front of all the kids for being brave, claiming she had the most courage in the class.

Only after praising her did the teacher gently explain.

Pian Ran was brave, but other kids were not; thus, as someone who was brave, she should look after those who were timid.

Only a well-behaved and sensible child would consider others.

Only if the classmates cared for each other could they all be good friends.

The teacher then had Pian Ran and another child apologize to each other.

Afterward, she rewarded both with a little red flower each.

During the subsequent craft class, the boy who had been scared to tears by Pian Ran.

Even took the initiative to teach Gu Chen’s daughter how to fold paper cranes.

His daughter also shared one of her plush toys with him.

And happily promised that she would always protect him from now on.

Gu Chen was still somewhat surprised when he heard this, remembering that morning when he had dropped off his child.

He thought that teacher Zhang Qianqian’s smile seemed rather fake, but it turns out she had quite the knack for dealing with children.

Gu Chen suddenly understood why the parents in his previous life were all so competitive.

Indeed, the teachers at good schools were remarkable, especially in an era where corporal punishment on children was considered normal.

Yet, she managed to truly care about the children’s psychological well-being.

And they didn’t just bluntly determine who was right or wrong.

Instead, they genuinely wanted to explain things to the children in a way they could understand, and then tell them what the right thing to do was.

Gu Chen suddenly felt that the kindergarten was indeed the best in Chuan City, though a bit expensive.

But the tuition really hadn’t been paid in vain.

As long as his daughter could grow up healthy, even if the tuition doubled, Gu Chen would be willing to pay it.

Having put one of his worries to rest, Gu Chen finally heaved a sigh of relief this time.

Throughout dinner, he smiled as he listened to his daughter talk about what had happened at kindergarten that day.

Even though the stories were just small matters among the kids, Gu Chen still found them utterly compelling.

After father and daughter had their dinner, and Tiantian watched cartoons for a while, she began to doze off.

Children her age are naturally mischievous and active; she had played all day at the kindergarten.

After school, she spent a few hours with Gu Chen at Qiwei Vegetarian and had almost exhausted her energy.

Gu Chen picked up his daughter from the sofa and carried her back to her own bedroom.

He then helped her change into pajamas and tucked her into bed.

He picked up the copy of "Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland" from the bedside and started to read her a bedtime story.

Soon after, he found Tiantian had slipped into a deep sleep.

Looking at his daughter’s sweet sleeping face, Gu Chen’s face revealed a smile that came from the heart.

He leaned over to kiss her forehead, then quietly left the room and gently closed the door behind him.

Standing at the door, Gu Chen stretched and just then glanced at his watch.

Unbeknownst to him, it was already nine o’clock in the evening.

He went back downstairs to the living room and turned off the television that was still playing cartoons.

At that moment, the front door was opened again.

Ji Pianran, reeking of alcohol, staggered in from outside.

Seeing this, Gu Chen quickly went to support her, and smelling the alcohol on her, he couldn’t help feeling a bit helpless.

"I was going to remind you to drink less, but you ended up drinking so much. Continuing like this isn’t good for your health," he said.

After that, he quickly led her to the sofa in the living room to sit down.

However, Ji Pianran shook her head, not taking it seriously, and excitedly grabbed Gu Chen’s hand, saying,

"Gu Chen, I have to tell you, I helped Dad secure a big order today, guess how much we earned?"

Gu Chen hesitated for a moment, then ventured a guess.

"Half a million?"

"No, it’s five million, and that’s just for this year alone," Ji Pianran said, her originally pale cheeks now flushed with excitement as she spoke.

"This is the first time I’ve negotiated such a big deal on my own, and the first time I’ve earned so much money.

Gu Chen, you have no idea, after signing the contract, my dad kept praising me.

He has always rarely praised me since I was a child, but today he was really happy.

He said the most gratifying thing in his life was having a daughter as excellent as me. Don’t you think I’m amazing?"

"Of course, my wife is the most amazing person in the world," Gu Chen said with a smile. Then, making sure she was sitting steadily on the sofa, he continued,

"But you didn’t have to drink so much. By the way, I’ve warmed up some hangover soup in the kitchen.

I’ll bring it to you in a bit, you might feel better after drinking some."
