Chapter 286: Chapter 286: Three Little Red Flowers

When they got home, Tang Yuxin had already returned ahead of them.

As soon as she saw Xiao Fei and the kids walk in, Tang Yuxin immediately came forward and asked:

"Kids, how did your first day of kindergarten feel?"

The whole day, Tang Yuxin had been a little distracted.

Even during her lessons with the students, her mind kept drifting to her three children attending their first day at kindergarten. Fortunately, Tang Yuxin’s professional skills were strong enough that no mistakes were made during her teaching.

Da Bao was the first to speak: "Mommy, Teacher Qin praised us!"

Er Bao excitedly waved his little hands: "Teacher Qin said we’re super amazing, super amazing!"

Sanbao’s face turned a little red, but it was clearly not from shyness—he was excited: "We got rewarded with little red flowers!"

After saying that, the three children simultaneously pulled small red flowers out of their pockets.

Unfortunately, the little red flowers were now crumpled and wrinkled.

The kids noticed and immediately looked a bit upset.

After all, these were the little red flowers their teacher had rewarded them with.

"It’s okay. Hand the little red flowers to Daddy, and I’ll fix them up nicely and stick them on your bedroom wall, alright?"

Hearing Xiao Fei say this, the three little ones quickly became cheerful again and eagerly handed their little red flowers to him.

After taking the flowers, Xiao Fei continued, "Kids, from now on, the first thing you should do when you come home from kindergarten is to properly put away your little backpacks, okay?"

The children promptly and obediently took off their little backpacks.

Xiao Fei didn’t carry the backpacks for them, even though he easily could have.

In his view, a backpack is something that will accompany the children from the first day of school all the way to the final day of their student lives.

For their futures, the word "backpack" will carry a unique and significant weight.

Xiao Fei wanted his children to experience the feeling of carrying their own backpacks right from the start.

"Come on, kids, tell Mommy and Daddy what happened today at kindergarten."

Xiao Fei and Tang Yuxin walked over and sat down on the sofa, then asked the kids to grab their little stools and sit in a row in front of them.

The children obediently followed their instructions.

Xiang Zilan let out a soft "woof" and nestled down by Da Bao’s feet, while Little Bei fluttered onto Er Bao’s head.

"Da Bao, you go first."

"Daddy, Daddy, today the teacher taught us to sing and also started teaching us Pinyin, but we already knew it all."

"Mhm, we learned Pinyin."

Xiao Fei nodded. "Anything else? Er Bao, your turn."

Er Bao quickly raised his hand: "Nope, that’s all! Goo ya!"

Xiao Fei, Tang Yuxin: "..."

Thinking about it, this kind of day was completely normal.

After all, it’s kindergarten—what more could they teach?

Getting the children familiarized with Pinyin and laying a foundation for primary school was already enough.

Even if there was more knowledge to teach, it wouldn’t happen on the very first day of kindergarten.

"Daddy, the other kids were so silly!"

At this moment, Er Bao spoke again.

"They didn’t even know Pinyin. Teacher Qin had to teach them for a long, long time before they learned just a few. We and Little Yu already knew it all!"

As Er Bao said this, his face was filled with pride.

Xiao Fei and Tang Yuxin exchanged glances.

The couple instantly understood the meaning in each other’s eyes.

In unison, they said, "Er Bao, you mustn’t be arrogant."

"Eh?"

Er Bao, who was brimming with pride just moments ago, was now startled.

Xiao Fei softened his tone as much as possible.

"Er Bao, the other kids aren’t actually silly. It’s just that they didn’t have parents like yours, teaching them these things at home beforehand."

"If their moms and dads had also taught them early on, they’d probably learn just as quickly as you did."

"So, you must never laugh at other children for things like this, okay?"

Er Bao nodded obediently.

"I got it, Daddy. I didn’t laugh at them. I even helped Ruirui learn Pinyin."

"Ruirui? Who’s that?"

Tang Yuxin asked with a warm smile.

It seemed the kids had already made new friends on their first day of kindergarten.

Indeed, as soon as Tang Yuxin asked, Er Bao eagerly replied, "Ruirui is the kid who sits next to me!"

"We’re already good friends!"

But just halfway through speaking, Er Bao suddenly paused, then quickly added, "But Ruirui can only be my second-best friend. My best friend is still Little Yu!"

"You can’t rank your friends like that."

Tang Yuxin hastily stopped Er Bao...

Although people inevitably rank how much they like others in their hearts, thinking it is one thing, saying it aloud is another.

Tang Yuxin was a little worried that Er Bao might blurt out these thoughts and cause unnecessary trouble.

"All friends are good friends; you can’t rank them, okay?"

"But I like Little Yu the most!"

"Mommy, Mommy, I do too..."

"Me too! Little Yu is the best friend!"

One by one, the three children said the same.

Tang Yuxin shook her head helplessly.

"Alright, it’s natural for things like this to happen. People can’t like everyone equally."

Xiao Fei comforted her by patting her shoulder gently.

"I understand your worries. I’ll have a proper talk with the kids about this later."

"Mhm, thank you, hubby."

Tang Yuxin leaned lightly on Xiao Fei’s shoulder.

She felt a wave of relaxation.

Whenever she faced something tricky and couldn’t figure out a solution, Xiao Fei always managed to handle it perfectly, just when she needed it most.

This made Tang Yuxin feel incredibly lucky and happy.

"Did the teacher give you any homework today?"

"What’s homework?"

This time, it was Sanbao who asked.

Judging by the question, it seemed obvious that there hadn’t been any homework assigned.

Xiao Fei smiled mysteriously.

"Homework, huh, is something very, very, very fun."

"Really?"

With innocent faces, the kids lit up with excitement, hearing Xiao Fei describe it that way.

Sitting beside Xiao Fei, Tang Yuxin playfully smacked his arm, both frustrated and amused.

"Hubby, you’re teasing the kids! What will happen when they find out what homework really is in the future?"

"I believe the kids will like doing homework. Right, kids?"

Er Bao and Sanbao quickly nodded their little heads.

But... Da Bao didn’t.

He hesitated.

Blinking his big eyes, Da Bao seemed deeply conflicted.

His absolute trust in his daddy made him want to say he agreed, but based on Mommy’s reaction earlier, it seemed like homework might actually be something that makes people unhappy?

So, between Daddy and Mommy, who’s the one telling the truth?
