Chapter 120

Regarding Mu Mu sleeping in separate rooms, it took five days to achieve the first success.

Since then, there were several more failures in fits and starts before Mu Mu finally got used to it after about a month.

But in any case, the child is still young, nothing can be too absolute.

So between them there was another agreement that if he had a nightmare and woke up, or really, really wanted to sleep with his dad and mom, he could make an exception once.

However, neither of them expected that after successfully sleeping in separate rooms, the happiest one turned out to be Mu Mu.

For the little guy, this was a sign that he had grown up a little.

"Dad, when can I grow up a little more next time?" Mu Mu sat on the sofa, swinging his little short legs and asked.

The little guy who was eager to grow up obviously couldn't wait anymore.

Pei Kuang rubbed his head and replied, "Then you'll have to wait until you start kindergarten."

Mu Mu looked at him curiously and asked, "What is kindergarten?"

Pei Kuang smiled and said, "Kindergarten is a place where a group of little friends play together. Teachers will lead you to play games, tell you stories, and teach you a lot of new knowledge."

Hearing that there were many little friends and that they could play games together and someone would tell them stories, Mu Mu's eyes lit up immediately.

Such a nice place!!

The little guy asked eagerly, "Dad, can I go to kindergarten now?"

Seeing his silly son's eager look, Pei Kuang couldn't help but laugh. He just hoped the little guy wouldn't regret it later.

"No, you're only three years old now. Kindergarten starts at four."

Mu Mu let out a disappointed "Oh".

Well, he was already three years old. Four years old was only one year away. It wasn't that long, was it?

So, going to kindergarten became the thing Mu Mu looked forward to most in the coming year.

Every now and then he would ask Song Anan how much longer until he turned four. At first Song Anan was somewhat puzzled, but after learning the reason, she was quite amused.

She and Pei Kuang thought the same way, they just hoped the little guy wouldn't regret it later.

After all, Song Anan had heard plenty of complaints from colleagues with children about how they would cry and fuss and refuse to go to kindergarten.

And so, with the little guy's anticipation, the day he had been longing for to go to kindergarten finally arrived. It just so happened that Pei Kuang was away filming, so Song Anan took him there herself that day.

Early that morning, Song Anan still couldn't resist and tried to give him a heads up.

"Mu Mu, is there any chance that kindergarten might not be as good as you imagined?"

Mu Mu was stunned for a moment. "How could that be? Kindergarten is obviously very good!"

He then curiously asked, "Mom, why do you say that? Did you not go to kindergarten?"

Song Anan sighed. Of course she had gone.

Back then, she had witnessed with her own eyes the whole class of little buddies crying. 𝘧ð˜ģð“Ūð“Ū𝓌ð˜Ķð“Ŧ𝓷𝘰𝘷â„Ŋ𝑙.𝓎â„īð˜Ū

She thought for a moment and said, "Mu Mu, once you start kindergarten, you won't see Dad and Mom all day."

Mu Mu uttered an "Ah", "Can't I go home at night either?"

Song Anan replied, "You can at night, but not during the day."

Mu Mu blinked and said, "But during the day I wouldn't see Dad and Mom anyway."

Song Anan was rendered speechless. Indeed that was the case.

She heaved a silent sigh. Oh well, let's just go with this for now. Given the enthusiasm the little guy had now, she figured no matter how much she said, it would be useless. Better to just let him experience it himself.

That day, Song Anan personally took Mu Mu to kindergarten and handed him over to the teacher.

Sure enough, just as she had expected, some kids were already crying at the kindergarten entrance, but fortunately Mu Mu remained composed the whole time.

When Song Anan was leaving, he held the teacher's hand with one hand and didn't forget to wave to Song Anan with the other.

The teachers nearby couldn't help but take several more glances at Mu Mu. That morning, they had already seen far too many children crying and fussing, refusing to go to school. One like him was really rare.

However, they were only surprised for a moment. After all, kindergarten teachers were quite seasoned.

Not crying now didn't mean he wouldn't cry later when he got to class!

He might be the one who cries the hardest. After all, the others had already cried one round and were exhausted.

But the teachers didn't expect that on the first day of school, Mu Mu would be the only child in the class who didn't cry.

However, although Mu Mu didn't cry, he obviously wasn't very happy at the moment either.

This was nothing like what Dad had said.

The other kids only knew how to cry. The teachers were all gathered around that group of crying children to coax them. They didn't lead them to play games or tell them stories.

Also, the little boy sitting next to him was too loud. He just kept crying, giving Mu Mu a headache.

Finally, Mu Mu couldn't stand it anymore and reached out and pulled the little boy's clothes.

The little boy had been crying with gusto when he suddenly felt someone pull his clothes. He reflexively turned to look.

When he saw Mu Mu, the little boy was stunned for a few seconds, then said between sobs, "You, you look so pretty!"

The chubby little boy had been a sucker for pretty faces since he was little. He liked good-looking people, whether male or female, adults or children. As long as they were good-looking, he liked them very much.

Mu Mu was a bit surprised. He clearly didn't expect the little boy's first words to be about this.

However, he was already used to people complimenting his looks. When he went to the park with his aunt, people would often compliment him.

"Thank you, you don't look bad yourself," Mu Mu replied seriously.

This was something he had learned from his mother, polite mutual compliments.

The idea was that when someone complimented him, he should politely return the compliment as courtesy.

Xiao Pang didn't expect Mu Mu to compliment him back, and was instantly delighted. "My mom says the same thing. She said I'd look even better if I lost some weight."

Then he looked at his belly ruefully and pinched it. "But losing weight is so hard. I just can't control myself from wanting to eat yummy food."

Mu Mu scratched his head, clearly not understanding such troubles.

As if recalling something, Xiao Pang suddenly looked up at Mu Mu, "Oh right, did you pull my clothes earlier because you needed something?"

Mu Mu nodded and asked puzzledly, "I wanted to ask why you were crying just now?"

Xiao Pang was stunned for a moment and replied, "I don't want to go to kindergarten. I miss my mom."

Only then did he realize that Mu Mu hadn't cried at all. He was surprised and said, "Don't you miss your mom?"

Mu Mu shook his head. "My mom has to work during the day. I wouldn't see her even if I didn't come to kindergarten."

Xiao Pang uttered an "Oh", "My dad goes to work too. He's a boss. What does your mom do?"

Mu Mu replied, "My mom is a doctor. She's very busy at work."

"What!" Xiao Pang looked at Mu Mu as if he had heard something outrageous. "Your mom is a doctor?!"

Mu Mu didn't quite understand why he had such a big reaction, but still nodded honestly. "Yeah, my mom is a doctor."

Xiao Pang's voice was very loud, interrupting the crying of the other kids around them.

The others hadn't quite heard what Xiao Pang said at first, but when they heard Mu Mu say his mom was a doctor, the other kids had looks of fear on their faces.

They looked at him with expressions like "You poor thing".

Mu Mu was confused by their looks.

"Mu Mu, does your mom give you shots when you misbehave?" Xiao Pang asked curiously.

Mu Mu's little brow furrowed. "Of course not. Why would she give me shots when I'm not sick?"

Thinking of his mother being falsely accused, his tone suddenly soured. "My mom is a very good doctor. She treats illnesses and saves lives, she wouldn't just randomly give people shots!"

Seeing his little buddy suddenly get angry, Xiao Pang reflexively felt a little guilty. "I mean, I'm not saying your mom isn't a good doctor. I just..."

But the more he tried to explain, the more flustered he got, and the less clear he became.

Fortunately the teacher came over just in time to smooth things over. She gave the class a simple explanation of a doctor's responsibilities and that doctors don't randomly give shots to people.

But the preconceived fear of doctors was already firmly ingrained in the minds of the kids in class. It wouldn't be so easily dispelled.

So when everyone looked at Mu Mu, they still had a hint of sympathy.

Wuwuwu, the fact that Mu Mu's mother was a doctor was absolutely terrifying to children aged four or five.

On Mu Mu's first day of kindergarten, Song Anan was also worried about him the whole day.

However, their kindergarten was a full-day one. You just needed to take the kids there in the morning and pick them up in the afternoon. They would just stay in the kindergarten for lunch and nap.

This saved the parents from all the hassle of commuting back and forth.

Finally, it was time to pick up the kids from school in the afternoon. She arrived at the kindergarten entrance early, just so Mu Mu could see her right away.

Soon after, a group of little kids were led out by the teachers. The new students of the lower grades came out first.

Well, this group of kids tended to cry a lot, so if they came out late, they would probably end up bawling.

From afar, Song Anan could already see Mu Mu standing in line with the other kids. There was a chubby little boy next to him, chatting with him the whole time.

The little guy had already made a friend on his first day of school!

Awesome!

Song Anan walked up to the group of kids in a few steps. At this moment, the other parents hadn't arrived yet, so the kids were quite curious when they saw Song Anan.

"What a beautiful auntie!" Little Fatty's eyes were about to pop out. He was just about to turn around to tell his buddies when he saw Mu Mu rush out like a little firecracker.

"Mommy!"

Little Fatty's smile instantly froze on his face.

The beautiful auntie turned out to be Mu Mu's doctor mom?!

Wuwuwu, just now he was thinking of going over to say hi to the beautiful auntie.

Now he didn't dare at all!

Holding her son's hand, Song Anan bid the teachers farewell with a smile. When she wanted Mu Mu to say bye to his classmates, she suddenly noticed the kids were looking at her a bit weirdly, as if afraid.

Strange, what did they have to fear about her?

On the way home, Song Anan couldn't help but ask Mu Mu about it.

Mu Mu hesitated for a moment, but still told his mom what had happened in kindergarten during the day.

After hearing how things had unfolded, Song Anan was somewhat amused.

She had heard her colleagues at the hospital chat before, saying doctors were used by parents to "frighten" kids - don't behave and I'll take you to get a shot. Back then she thought they were joking, she didn't expect it to be real.

Seeing his mom remain silent, Mu Mu thought she was upset about being misunderstood. He quickly comforted her, "Mommy, don't be sad. Mu Mu knows you're a good doctor."

Song Anan pinched her son's cheek and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Mommy's not upset."

"Also, you misunderstood the other kids. When they said that, they didn't mean to say Mommy wasn't a good doctor."

Mu Mu made a sound of realization. Suddenly he was confused.

In his mind, saying his mom gave random people shots meant they were saying his mom wasn't a good doctor.

Good doctors only treat illnesses and save people, they don't go around giving random shots!

Song Anan smiled and briefly explained to him that many parents used such threats to discipline their kids. She also gave him another example of parents threatening misbehaving kids.

Many parents also liked to say things like they would have the police uncle take the kids away if they didn't behave.

Mu Mu was dumbfounded. How could they do that?!

"It's wrong for their parents to do that. If the kids don't behave, they can educate them. Threatening them like that is wrong!"

Song Anan and Pei Kuang's parenting philosophy was to guide their child to think independently. So at times like this, they would usually guide Mu Mu to continue speaking.

"Oh? Then tell Mommy where exactly they did wrong."

Mu Mu reasoned convincingly, "Mommy, look. Dad told me that if I get lost or run into bad people, I should ask the police uncle for help. So if the other kids are scared of the police, won't they not dare ask the police uncle for help?"

Song Anan patted Mu Mu on the shoulder and said proudly, "Our Mu Mu is so smart, you're absolutely right!"

Mu Mu was also very happy to receive the affirmation. He continued, "It's the same with doctors. Mommy, you said that if I don't feel well, I need to tell Dad and Mommy promptly, and then go to the hospital to see the doctor."

"But if the kids are afraid of doctors, then when they really get sick, they'll be afraid to see the doctor and deliberately not say anything. Wouldn't that delay...delay..."

The little guy scratched his head, suddenly unable to remember the phrase his mom taught him. He looked up at his mom for help.

Song Anan smiled and finished for him, "Delay treatment."

Mu Mu exclaimed in realization, "Right, delay treatment!"

So those parents doing that is wrong!

After getting to the bottom of things, Mu Mu secretly decided.

Tomorrow at kindergarten, he must explain things clearly to his classmates. That way, in the future if any of them get sick, they won't be afraid to see the doctor!

Oh right, they won't be afraid to ask the police uncle for help either!
