Chapter 5 Dazzling Little Red Flower

The kindergarten class has lunch in the academy. At the appointed time, four or five maids and servants come over with wooden buckets of food. The children are still young, so they all go to the cafeteria to fight for food with their older brothers. Their small bodies make it impossible for them to compete, so the academy's move is a wise one.

The servants and maids from each family would come in at a certain time to serve meals to their young masters and young ladies. Rich families would arrange servants to take care of them, but ordinary families would not have this treatment.

Song Yanjin and Bai Zhu were also eating here. The teacher's task was not yet finished, and he had to watch over the little kids while they took a nap.

Opposite the school is the dormitory, which has a large bunk bed. Every child has a straw mat, bedding and pillows.

The padding of wealthy families is thick and soft, and the quilt covers are all made of gorgeous fabrics.

Song Yanjin got some food and went to the hallway with Baizhu to eat. The clingy little kids came over with their little bowls and sat down next to them. The picky eaters would pass on the vegetables they didn't like to their companions.

If you don't like eating meat, just give it to our dear Mr. Song.

The meat smell is too strong, and she doesn't like it.

Bai Zhu rolled her eyes at the meat in the bowl. The young lady was not so picky before!

After dinner, several old maids took away the bowls and chopsticks, and Song Yanjin led the little bean buns to the dormitory to sleep.

At this age, they are very active and lively. Do you think they will fall asleep when they lie down?

Naive!

When the quilt is lifted, a few kids are laughing inside.

Song Yanjin simply found a stool and sat at the door. "Since no one can sleep, how about Master Song tell you a story?"

"good!"

"good!"

A number of energetic little heads popped out from under the quilt.

The system clicked on a hypnotic story and read it softly. Why were their eyes wide open after the story was finished?

"Master Song, are the clouds in the sky really transformed from lambs?"

"How did the lamb get up there?"

"Master Song, you are lying. The sheep I raise in my backyard can't fly at all, but their meat is delicious."

Song Yanjin: "."

He clapped his hands and said, "It's just a story, don't take it too seriously, okay, go to sleep."

Su Xiaoxiao pouted and begged, "Master Song, if you tell us one more story, we will definitely fall asleep."

"Hehe~ That's right!"

A difficult child.

Song Yanjin stood up and covered her with a blanket. "I'll only tell you one story a day. Go to sleep. I'll play games with you when you wake up."

"real?"

"Master Song, please don't lie."

"It's the puppy that's lying."

Song Yanjin said helplessly as he pressed down the little heads one by one, "I'm not lying, there's no such thing as not sleeping~"

After going around in a circle and covering themselves with the quilt, the little kids closed their eyes with anticipation.

After making sure that everyone was asleep, Song Yanjin closed the door, walked out and sat down on the stairs, rubbing his shoulders tiredly. He finally understood why modern kindergarten teachers have such high salaries.

Bai Zhuqi sat down and rubbed the young lady's back with his fist, "Miss, Qingming Festival is coming soon, do you want to go and burn incense for the Third Master?"

Of course, her third uncle has been very kind to her and raised her like both a father and a mother since she was a child. Those black-hearted people in the Song Mansion would definitely just send a servant to do the job perfunctorily.

Song Yanjin closed his eyes comfortably, "The day after tomorrow, take a day off. We will make some white mugwort cakes. Third Uncle loves it. Baizhu, go down the mountain early tomorrow morning to buy some incense paper."

I found a few copper coins under my pillow yesterday, which should be enough for incense and paper money.

You can offer sacrifices before or after the Qingming Festival, but she is only free the day after, so it must be difficult for her to take leave.

Bai Zhu felt uneasy when she heard what the young lady said. Master Ge was watching her covetously. She was worried when he was not with her. "Young lady, you don't need it. There is a small town not far from the academy. I will go buy it after school."

After school and dinner, it was almost dark. Baizhu, a beautiful girl, was walking on the country road. She was really worried about Baizhu's safety.

Song Yanjin said firmly, "It's settled. Let's go tomorrow morning."

Bai Zhu sighed helplessly, the young lady was too unprepared.

I promised the children to play games in the afternoon, so I drew a hopscotch game with charcoal on the blue brick floor in the yard. It was my favorite game to play during recess in elementary school.

The children in the kindergarten class are too young to live in the academy, so they finish school early in the afternoon, which makes it convenient for those who have a long journey to go home.

After learning ten words today, we asked the little kids to write down the simple ones. The one who wrote the best one would be rewarded with a little red flower.

Su Xiaoxiao put a little red flower in her hair bun, and it looked like a flower had grown on her head. She ran around the school proudly to show off.

The winner of another flower is Xiaopang. Although he has a somewhat overbearing personality, Xiaopang holds the brush very steadily, and his every glance and stroke is powerful.

The little kids next to them were envious. The little red flowers were so dazzling!

Getting the little red flowers and getting the teacher's recognition was an affirmation of good children. They all made up their minds to perform their best tomorrow and work hard to write good characters.

With a smile on his face, Song Yanjin stood at the gate of the academy and watched the little kids get on the carriage to go home. After a tiring day, the joy in his heart was beyond words.

The children have never been happier on their way to school than today. Their little heads are hanging on the carriage windows, looking out reluctantly, "See you tomorrow morning, Mr. Song!"

"Xiaosong, why don't you come home with me? I'll miss you so much~"

The embarrassed parents nodded apologetically to Mr. Song, then pushed their sons and daughters into the carriage and left.

Bai Zhu covered her mouth and laughed, "The little brats can't leave the young lady so quickly. I think they were very naughty in the beginning."

Song Yanjin smiled calmly. Children's minds are much simpler than adults. Their emotions come and go quickly. They are naturally happy when they have someone to play with.

Walking back to the female teacher's dormitory in the afterglow of the setting sun, Song Yanjin met Master Shao, who was teaching chess to the girls' class at the door. As usual, Song Yanjin politely nodded and greeted her, and humbly stepped aside to let her go first.

Master Shao looked up in surprise. In the past when they met, this eccentric little girl always walked in front. Then, she thought of something and walked in without any hesitation.

Song Yanjin didn't think as much as she thought. He was just being polite to the old man and took Baizhu back to the dormitory.

While Bai Zhu went to fetch the food, Song Yanjin sat down in front of the dressing table, picked up a pair of scissors, cut red paper, and deftly folded out two little red flowers.

"Woo woo~ That's too much of a bully."

Baizhu came in crying, put the food box in her hand heavily on the guest table, sat down and lay on the table, crying loudly.

What happened? It actually made the little girl who dared to fight with Master Ge burst into tears.

Song Yanjin put down the scissors in his hand, stood up and went over to comfort her, "Did the waitress give you trouble again?"

Bai Zhu turned around and hugged the young lady and cried, choking with sobs, "Liu Guanshi was not here today, and that damned old woman not only refused to serve food, but also spoke rudely to you in front of all the students. After all,

the young lady is the teacher of the academy. How can a servant like her have the right to scold you? She is too bullying!"

If it were in Baihua Village, the old woman would have been beaten to tears by her.

Song Yanjin clenched her fists. Bai Zhu was ruthless against Master Ge, so she was fine in a fight. In an elegant place like the academy, in public, she would naturally suffer because of her thin skin.

Man is iron and food is steel. Although the small kitchen in the courtyard had no food, it was not abandoned. The maids of the masters in the courtyard would occasionally go to the town to buy food and make some rare food for their masters to change their taste.

Now that I have no money, I can only eat in the cafeteria. I picked up the empty lunch box and said, "I'll be back soon."

It would be fine if she was humiliated, but how could she let the young lady suffer the humiliation of a stinky woman? Bai Zhu wiped away her tears and chased after her.
