Chapter 3286 Teacher Xiaoliu Seeks Help

Little Pine Tree Night School, 7:30 pm. Teacher Liu clapped her hands, trying to make her voice sound cheerful: "Children, you can put your homework aside for now! Let's see what fun things there are to do!"

She opened the cabinet in the play area, which was filled with brand-new toys: building blocks, puzzles, board games, clay, and picture books.

The children put down their pens and gathered around, but no one took the toys. Instead, they looked at Teacher Liu and waited for her to distribute them.

Ms. Xiaoliu said, "Take whatever you like, play whatever you want, there are no rules here."

The children looked at each other. Junjun took a puzzle box and returned to his seat to work on it silently. Xiaoyu chose modeling clay, but stopped after a few strokes, seemingly unsure what to sculpt. Dongdong picked up a picture book, flipped through it, and then put it down.

Xiaoyu asked softly, "Teacher, is there a template for this clay? I want to make one like this."

Teacher Xiaoliu shook her head: "There is no template. You can sculpt whatever you want, and it can be made into any shape you like."

Xiaoyu said "Oh," looking at the clay in her hand, somewhat at a loss.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Teacher Liu moved a small chair down and told everyone a story.

She told a story of a forest adventure, and everyone listened attentively. After she finished, Ms. Liu asked, "Did you all like it?"

"We like it," the children said in unison.

Teacher Xiaoliu encouraged, "Does anyone want to make up their own story? Or tell us what you would do if you were one of the animals in the story?"

The children looked at each other in bewilderment.

Junjun pushed up his glasses and said softly, "The teacher explained it very well."

The subtext is: We don't need to make this up ourselves.

Ms. Liu didn't force them and let them play by themselves.

At 10 p.m., parents began to pick up their children one after another. Perhaps because it was the first day of the school’s opening, the parents arrived very punctually. By 10:30 p.m., all the children in the school had been picked up.

Junjun's mother was the first to arrive. As soon as she entered, she asked, "Junjun, have you finished your homework?"

Junjun packed his schoolbag himself and obediently replied, "I'm done writing."

"Good boy." His mother patted his head with satisfaction, then turned to Teacher Liu, "Teacher, how was Junjun's behavior today? He wasn't naughty, was he?"

Ms. Xiaoliu smiled and said, "Junjun is very well-behaved. You can encourage him to relax more often and not be so nervous here."

Junjun's mother laughed and said, "This child needs to be kept in check, otherwise he'll slack off. His father and I are usually busy with work and don't have time to discipline him. It all depends on his self-discipline. If we're too lenient, he'll probably become completely lax. Teacher, you can be stricter too, then we parents will feel at ease."

Ms. Xiaoliu swallowed the rest of her words.

After the last child left, only three teachers remained at the academy.

Teacher Liu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The first day went quite smoothly. The children were very well-behaved. Although it was quiet, it was alright. After all, it was the first day. The children weren't familiar with each other or with us yet. It's normal for them to be a little reserved in an unfamiliar environment. They'll relax over time. You can't rush these things."

While tidying up the tables and chairs, Aunt Wang chimed in, "Yes, it's much easier to manage than I imagined. I wonder if Little Red Horse's side will be more lively. Teacher Liu, don't worry, our priority right now is to avoid making mistakes. The school culture needs to be built up gradually; it can't be achieved overnight."

Ms. Liu felt better after hearing their words. Indeed, tonight was only the first night, and there was no need to rush.

The three of them cleaned up the school, locked the gate together, and went home.

On the way, Ms. Liu couldn't help but take out her phone to ask if Aunt Huang was still at Little Red Horse. After receiving a positive reply, she immediately rushed to Little Red Horse.

The Little Red Horse classroom was still quite lively. Although it was pick-up time and parents were arriving one after another, many children were still there, chattering in the classroom, while some were fast asleep.

Ms. Liu first greeted Ms. Xiaoyuan and the others, then went straight upstairs to Aunt Huang's office and chatted with her about what happened that evening.

Aunt Huang was also eager to know if Little Pine Tree Academy had gone smoothly that evening. After listening to Teacher Liu's description, she said, "The soil needs time to become familiar, and the seeds also need time to adapt. Don't rush, observe first, and listen carefully. Little Red Horse is Little Red Horse, and Little Pine Tree is Little Pine Tree; they can't be exactly the same."

Ms. Liu nodded; she was well aware of this.

She knew that the real challenge of promoting the Little Red Horse model was just beginning. What they needed to replicate was not the superficial excitement, but the intangible atmosphere that encouraged the seeds to sprout.

Aunt Huang smiled and said, "Perhaps you could talk to Xiaobai and the others; they might give you some different perspectives."

"Good~"

When Ms. Liu went downstairs, she ran into Xiao Bai, who was busy getting the children home. She stood aside without disturbing her until Xiao Bai had seen off the two children whose parents had come to pick them up. Only then did she take the initiative to greet Xiao Bai.

"Xiaobai, is it convenient to talk?" Teacher Liu asked as she walked up to Xiaobai.

Xiao Bai, seeing it was Teacher Xiao Liu, smiled and said, "Ah, it's Teacher Xiao Liu! Convenient, convenient! How's the opening of the Little Pine Tree? Is it going smoothly?"

Robin was just a little while ago, but suddenly he ran over and stood at his aunt's feet, looking at Teacher Liu with a face full of gossipy questions and clear, innocent eyes.

Despite being clueless, she loves to meddle in other people's business and enjoys giving bad advice.

Ms. Koyanagi said, "I wanted to tell you about Little Pine Tree Academy."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai was overjoyed: "Oh, you've come to the right person!"

She's an expert.

Teacher Xiaoliu recounted what happened that evening.

Xiao Bai chuckled twice, then said seriously, "Teacher Xiao Liu, don't worry, this is normal. When I first came to Little Red Horse, I was just like them."

"You too?" Teacher Xiaoliu asked in surprise.

Xiao Bai said, "Yeah! I was so well-behaved back then~, haha, you have to be good when you go to a new place, otherwise the adults won't like you. Later, it was that silly girl Liu Liu who dragged me around like crazy, and that's when I realized that this kind of thing doesn't work here."

Ms. Koyanagi had a sudden thought and said, "If you were at Little Pine Tree Academy, what would you do?"

Xiao Bai said, "It's very simple! Don't treat them like students, treat them like playmates. They're not here to attend classes, they're here to have fun."

"But they don't even want to play..." Teacher Liu imitated Xiao Bai's tone.

Xiao Bai said, "Then teach them how to play! Not only teach them how to play, but also play with them."

Ms. Liu nodded: "Okay, I'll try it tomorrow."

Xiao Bai continued, "Also, you'll need someone to help you; one person can't manage. I'll bring a few dolls over to play tomorrow, okay?"

"This..." Teacher Xiaoliu hesitated, and for a moment she had doubts. Xiaobai might have said that because she wanted to go play under the little pine tree.

"Don't worry! We won't cause trouble! We're just here to have fun and maybe teach them a few tricks." Little White's voice was full of eagerness. "I've been wanting to see the little pine tree for ages; I heard it's even prettier than our little red horse!"

After thinking for a moment, Ms. Liu finally nodded: "Okay, then come over at six o'clock tomorrow evening, just when the children arrive."

"Sure! I'll take care of it!" Xiaobai said confidently.

Robin immediately raised his little hand and asked, "Auntie, take me tomorrow! I'm a good boy. I don't know how to do anything else, but I'm good at playing tricks. When I play tricks, I'm like a madman."

Xiao Bai said, "If your grandparents agree, they will take you."

Robin said, "Yes! They agree!"

"You didn't even ask."

"I'll ask now."

She ran off to call her grandfather. Meanwhile, Liuliu, Xier, and the others, having heard the news, came over and asked to join them the next day.
