Chapter 468 Indirect Guidance
âShall we get out and walk over there?â Zhang Han parked the car and asked.
âLetâs go, letâs go!â Mengmeng stretched out her small hand and cheered.
Zi Yan hesitated and said, âEven though Iâm dressed up, if Iâm photographed, Iâll still be discovered. Then the restaurant will always be disturbed by paparazzi.â
âMaybe you can wait for us in the car?â Zhang Han said.
âOkay, Iâll stay in the car.â Zi Yan thought about it and made a decision. Picking up the bag from the back seat, she said, âMengmeng, letâs put the school bag on you. You are going to school and growing up to be a girl. Remember to follow the teachersâ guidance.â
âWell, I see. MaMa, weâre going to school,â Mengmeng said happily.
Mengmeng was looking forward to life in kindergarten, but she didnât realize that she would be left on the campus alone.
âGive MaMa a kiss.â Zi Yan approached Mengmeng.
âMwah.â Mengmeng kissed Zi Yan.
âLetâs got out of the car.â Zhang Han smiled, got out first, went to the back seat, opened the door, and took Mengmeng out of the car.
âMengmeng, come on,â Zi Yan lowered the car window halfway, put her head through, and said with a smile.
âHaha.â Mengmeng made a heart-shaped gesture to Zi Yan and said, âBye, MaMa. PaPa and I are going to school. Wait for us here.â
After that, she took PaPaâs hand and walked to the entrance of kindergarten.
Zi Yan pursed her lips and looked at the back of the father and daughter. She was still a little worried.
But she felt something was wrong. âWhat did Mengmeng just say?â
Mengmeng and Zhang Han went to the school entrance with a bag that was full of objects but was still light.
There were many people coming and going at the entrance, and they saw many children standing in a small square not far away.
âWelcome, please go there to find your own class.â The two female teachers standing at the door greeted Zhang Han, Mengmeng, and the family behind them warmly.
âWhat a beautiful girl.â Another female teacher looked at Mengmeng and smiled.
âNice to meet you, Iâm Mengmeng.â Mengmeng was a little shy. She hid behind Zhang Han and said hello in a low voice.
âNice to meet you, cute girl, go and find your teacher.â The ponytail teacher smiled and waved to her.
So Zhang Han took Mengmengâs little hand and prepared to go inside.
The father and son behind them were just led to the small square on the inside with normal, polite words.
Only two female teachers had to receive nearly 100 families and children, so it was impossible for them to say more than a few words to everyone.
As soon as Mengmeng entered the kindergarten, she started to look left and right curiously. She looked very happy.
âPaPa, there are so many children here. Itâs so fun,â Mengmeng looked up and said.
âWell, Iâm glad you can say that. Then you and other children will play games together.â
âWhat game are we going to play? Is it Eagle and Chicken?â
âWell, I donât know⊠Some interesting games probably,â Zhang Han smiled and replied.
Zhang Han was worried that Mengmeng would cry because he had seen a few children crying in the crowd not far away.
Zi Yan looked up a lot of information last night, and talked with Miss Lu Guo for a while. After Mengmeng went to bed, Zi Yan and Zhang Han exchanged all the knowledge they received.
However, Mengmengâs performance today made them feel that they might be too worried.
When they approached the crowdâŠ
Mengmeng blinked her big eyes, looked left and right, and was startled.
âAh, PaPa, why are those little brothers and sisters crying?â Mengmeng reached out her hand and pointed to the crying children behind her.
âThisâŠâ Zhang Han thought of Teacher Lu Guoâs reminder, so he put on an exaggerated smile, touched his daughterâs small head, and praised her, âBecause they are not as good as Mengmeng.â
âOf course, Mengmeng is the best.â The little girl nodded seriously.
âTeacher Lu.â When he got to the teacher, Zhang Han said hello first.
âHello, this beautiful girl is Mengmeng, isnât she?â Lu Guo looked at Mengmeng and connected her with the picture of a lovely little girl in the student file.
Generally speaking, although the teachers would read studentsâ relevant information before they entered school, few students could be remembered by their teachers.
Only the students with more characteristics could be remembered by the teacher.
For example, Lu Guo remembered Martin, the little black boy standing in the back of the classroom. Although there were many foreign children, the black boy was unique, which enabled him to stand out from the rest.
Lu Guo also remembered that the little boy with golden hair and blue pupils was Stefen.
As for Mengmeng, she was remembered by the teacher because she was so beautiful.
Hearing Lu Guoâs words, Mengmeng blinked shyly. Before she greeted Lu Guo, Zhang Han said, âMengmeng, she is your teacher from now on, so you should call her Teacher Lu.â
âHello, Teacher Lu,â Mengmeng waved her hand and said.
âHello,â Lu Guo smiled and said, âThis row has all the students of our class, who are also your classmates. You can stand here.â
âHmm.â Mengmeng looked at the children in front of her with her big eyes, and these children were looking at Mengmeng as well.
However, the three crying children in the back soon attracted Mengmengâs attention because two teachers at the same age as Lu Guo were coaxing them.
âMiss Lu, I leave Mengmeng to you. Please take good care of her.â Looking at Lu Guo, Zhang Han said worriedly, âThere is a bottle of water in her bag for her to drink in the morning, as well as several clothes to change into. Besides, Mengmengâs face is very sensitive.â
âDonât worry, Mengmengâs dad. We will take good care of Mengmeng. If there is anything you need to know, I will inform you in time,â Lu Guo said with a smile.
âOkay.â Zhang Han nodded, looked at Mengmeng, touched her little head, and was about to say something.
Mengmeng felt that something was different from her imagination.
âWhy didnât their PaPa and MaMa come?â Mengmeng asked Zhang Han.
Lu Guo said with a smile, âBecause there are no parents in kindergarten, itâs the place for children to study.â
âNo PaPa and MaMa?â Mengmeng looked at Zhang Han nervously and uneasily. âPaPa, we are going to play together in kindergarten!â
âNo, not us. Itâs Mengmeng who needs to stay in kindergarten, and dad will come back later. In the evening, I will come to pick up Mengmeng.â Zhang Han lowered his voice.
âAh? Why does PaPa come to pick me up at night? I donât want to stay alone. I want to stay with PaPa. PaPa, I wonât allow you to leave.â Mengmeng was about to cry.
âTerrible!â
Luo Guoâs heart skipped a beat.
âShe is going to cry.â
So she quickly squatted down and whispered in front of Mengmeng, âLook, there are many children here, and they want to play with toys and games with you. You see, they are not crying, so Mengmeng should not cry. Mengmeng is a good girl.â
As Lu Guo spoke to her, she winked at Zhang Han.
âYouâd better leave her as soon as possible.â
After two seconds of silence, Zhang Han touched Mengmengâs head and said softly, âMengmeng, Dad is going back to make lunch and bring it to you. Iâll surely pick you up on time in the evening. When you leave school, Dad will be waiting for you at the entrance.â
After he finished speaking, Zhang Han turned and was about to walk out.
One step, two stepsâŠ
When Zhang Han took the third step â
Mengmeng cried out as if she had been wronged.
âPaPa canât go, I wonât let you go. PaPa, you come backâŠâ
Mengmeng stretched out her little arm and wanted to run to Zhang Han, but Lu Guo gently stopped Mengmeng with a hug and began comforting her in a low voice.
But it was no use comforting Mengmeng. Her voice was even louder than that of the children behind her, which made them stop crying immediately.
They all looked at Mengmeng curiously.
âWhy is she crying so loudly?â
There were even some parents who took a glance at Mengmeng and shook their heads slightly.
They felt that the little girl was a little too coquettish, or her parents did not educate her well.
Their children had been well prepared and didnât cry at all today. They were sure to become elites in the future.
âHow can she cry like that?â
Some parents shook their heads when they saw Mengmeng.
In fact, Mengmengâs behavior was understandable.
Maybe they were well prepared to educate their children, but they didnât know that Mengmeng hadnât seen her father for several years, and her expectations of her father were unimaginable. After finding Zhang Han, Mengmeng depended on him more than they thought.
When Zi Yan went to work, Mengmeng wouldnât feel very sad, but as long as Zhang Han was not around her, she would start to worry about the disappearance of PaPa.
Zhang Han was depressed now.
He was distressed.
He forced himself not to turn back and strode out of the front entrance of the kindergarten.
When he felt that he was far enough away from Mengmeng, he turned his head and looked at Mengmeng in the distance.
âPaPa, donât you want Mengmeng? PaPa, come backâŠâ Mengmeng stretched out her little arms, crying, out of breath.
Seeing her expression, Zhang Han stopped.
When the door of the kindergarten was about to be closedâŠ
âWhoosh!â
Zhang Han ran back quickly.
âWait a minute.â
Zhang Han pushed the door open, ran quickly to Mengmeng, held her in his arms, touched her head, and said softly, âDad wonât go, Dad wonât leave you. Dad is back, donât cryâŠâ
Under Zhang Hanâs comfort, Mengmeng was still crying, and her little arms were tightly around Zhang Hanâs neck.
âThisâŠâ Lu Guo sighed.
âIâm sorry, Teacher Lu, we are not ready. Iâll take her home,â Zhang Han said apologetically.
âIt fine.â Lu Guo smiled and said, âBut didnât you make it clear to Mengmeng? Well, the preparation in advance should be done well, otherwise, children canât accept it for a while.â
âYes, itâs our fault.â Zhang Han nodded his head.
âGo back first. In the afternoon or tomorrow, come back when you are ready,â Lu Guo said.
âOkay.â Zhang Han nodded his head lightly and left with Mengmeng in his arms.
Lu Guo looked at the back of the father and daughter, shook her head helplessly, and then walked inside with the other two teachers and children.
Mengmeng knew that PaPa was going to take her home, so she gradually stopped crying.
âWell, Mengmeng, stop crying. Dad promises you, if you donât want to go to kindergarten, we wonât go there, OK?â Zhang Han said softly.
âOkay,â said Mengmeng with a choked-up voice.
She still put her little arms around Zhang Hanâs neck tightly and put her head on them.
Her tears wetted Zhang Hanâs neck.
This made Zhang Han very distressed!
When the media reporters at the entrance saw that a child was being carried out, they took two pictures specially, and then finished their work and prepared to go back.
In the back seat of the panda car, Zi Yan blinked and looked out of the window.
Because of her nervousness, she grasped the front seat with some force.
Then she was stunned.
Seeing Zhang Han carrying Mengmeng back, she moved her lips slightly.
She didnât know whether to feel happy or angry.
âI should have guessed that he would be reluctant to see Mengmeng cry.â
Zi Yanâs eyes were fixed on Mengmeng. She quickly opened the door, got out of the car, and took a few steps forward.
Hearing Mengmengâs sobs, Zi Yan bit her lips and stretched out her hands. âCome here, give Mom a hug.â
âLetâs get in the car first.â Zhang Han went to the back seat with Zi Yan.
Seeing poor Mengmeng, Zi Yan was really distressed. She quickly held Mengmeng in her arms and took out a tissue to dry her tears. At the same time, she whispered, âDonât cry, MengmnegâŠâ
âMaMa, I donât want to go to kindergarten,â Mengmeng pursed her lips and said pitifully.
âWhy not? There are many children there,â said Zi Yan.
âBut there is no PaPa. I want to be with PaPa.â
âYes, with Dad. Donât cry, baby, Dad will be always with you.â Zhang Han touched Mengmengâs head.
After a few minutes of coaxing, Mengmeng stopped crying.
Zi Yan sighed, touched Mengmengâs little face, and said, âGoing to kindergarten doesnât mean being separated from PaPa. PaPa with take you back home every afternoon. You just need to stay at kindergarten during the day and study and play with your classmates. Youâll still be with PaPa and MaMa in the afternoon and evening.â
âHmm?â Mengmeng was slightly shocked. After thinking for two seconds, she pouted and said, âNo, I want to be with Papa.â
âThatâs OK, or Iâll work in the kindergarten asâŠâ Zhang Han looked at Zi Yan hesitantly and said.
Before he could finish speaking, Zi Yan rolled her eyes at him and stopped him.
âWhat are you doing in the back seat? Come and drive the car. Letâs go back first, and then discuss it,â said Zi Yan.
âOkay.â Zhang Han grinned, opened the door, started the car, and then drove back to New Moon Bay.
âMengmeng, do you not want to go to kindergarten because you want to be with PaPa?â Zi Yan asked Mengmeng in her arms.
At this time, Mengmengâs mood had changed from a heavy rain to a sunny day.
Hearing Zi Yanâs words, she nodded seriously. âYes, I want to be with PaPa.â
Then the little girl thought about it and added, âWe should go to kindergarten together.â
Zi Yan didnât know whether to laugh or cry.
âPaPa and MaMa are not allowed in kindergarten. Do you want PaPa to be happy?â Zi Yan asked again.
âYes,â Mengmeng replied without hesitation.
âIf you get the teacherâs praise in kindergarten, PaPa will be very happy when he hears it. If you want PaPa to be happy, you should go to kindergarten and get the teacherâs praise.â Zi Yan started to encourage Mengmeng.
âButâŠâ Mengmeng hesitated. âI donât want to leave PaPa and MaMa, can I get praise from the teacher without going to kindergarten? In this way, I can be with PaPa and make PaPa happy.â
Zhang Han was happy to hear that.
âWhat a considerate daughter I have.â
Hearing Mengmengâs words, Zi Yan felt helpless.
She failed to persuade Mengmeng on the way back home.
When they returned to the restaurant, Zi Qiang was stunned when he saw the whole family coming back.
âOh, my granddaughter is back? Is school over?â Zi Qiang asked in confusion.
âYes, itâs over, and Iâll never go there,â Mengmeng replied seriously.
Zi Yan was amused and shook her head again.
It seemed to be so difficult to persuade the little princess.
At this momentâŠ
âDingâŠâ
Zi Yanâs cell phone rang. When she took it out, her eyes lit up as she quickly answered the phone.
âHello? Su Yu, whatâs that? Okay, fine. We are available today, why not go to our restaurant? Itâs doesnât matter at all. I have something to consult you about. Come here at night, and Iâll have Zhang Han make some delicacies. Okay, thatâs it.â
After hanging up, Zi Yan smiled at Mengmeng and said, âMengmeng, today is your friend Yihanâs birthday. She wanted to invite us out for a get-together, and Mom invited them to come over at night. Are you happy?â
âHmm? Yihanâs birthday! Thatâs great. Iâll sing her a birthday song in the evening.â Mengmengâs big eyes suddenly lit up.
Seeing her expression, Zi Yan smiled.
Zhang Han was confused.
âWhy are you so happy?â Zhang Han asked.
âWellâŠâ Zi Yan approached Zhang Hanâs ear and said something.
Zhang Han was suddenly enlightened.
It turned out that Zi Yan wanted to indirectly guide Mengmeng. Wang Yihan had been in kindergarten for nearly a year and had some experience. Zi Yan hoped to let her guide Mengmeng to be interested in kindergarten.
Therefore, the whole day passed quietly while Zi Yan and Mengmeng waited.
At eight oâclock in the eveningâŠ
Wang Jiawen, who was carrying four bottles of high-grade liquor, and Su Yu, who was carrying a two-layer cake, led the happy Wang Yihan into the restaurant.
Originally, Wang Jiawen wanted to bring two bottles of red wine, but when he thought of the fine wines that Liu Qingfeng sent to the restaurant as gifts, he gave up on the plan of sending red wine, and then tried to order four bottles of high-end Moutai.
Zhao Feng welcomed the three of them to the second floor.
âMengmeng, Mengmeng, Mengmeng, Iâm coming.â Wang Yihan jumped toward Mengmeng.
âYihan!â Mengmeng, sitting on the sofa, hurried down, took the gift box from her side, and ran up to the girl. âYihan, happy birthday to you.â
âWow, a gift for me! Thank you, Mengmeng, you are so nice.â Wang Yihan took the gift in surprise.
âDonât be so courteous,â Mengmeng replied while giggling.
âHappy birthday to you,â Zhang Han and Zi Yan said.
âThank you, Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang,â Wang Yihan replied happily.
âI wanted to invite you out to play, but in the end, we came to disturb you again. Iâm a little embarrassed,â Wang Jiawen said with a smile.
âItâs nothing, donât be so courteous.â Zhang Han nodded with a smile.
He had been worrying about how to persuade Mengmeng to go to kindergarten, and now he came up with an idea.
Sometimes, it was hard for parents but easy for friends to guide a girl.
But whether it would work or not depended on the effect tonight.
