Outside the kindergarten, there was an open-air parking lot, also the kindergarten's exclusive parking lot, convenient for parents to pick up and drop off their children, providing a place to park.
The parking lot was filled with uniform luxury cars, the least expensive being tens of thousands of yuan for Mercedes-Benz and BMW.
Indeed, this kindergarten was not for ordinary people to attend. The annual tuition alone was tens of thousands, more than a common person's annual salary, not including other fees.
If not for a well-off family, who could afford such an expensive kindergarten?
After all, it was not a one-year commitment; from the toddler class to kindergarten was four years.
The total cost was even higher than sending a university student.
Therefore, Liu Yifeng's minivan quickly became the focus.
A teacher guarding the entrance, receiving registrations, immediately walked over and said, "Our parking spaces are not open to the public. If you want to park, find another place!"
She thought Liu Yifeng was just there to park and didn't consider he might be there for registration.
Liu Yifeng got out of the car and explained, "Hello teacher, I'm here to register my son."
As soon as he spoke, parents bringing their children to register nearby couldn't help but cover their mouths and chuckle.
The teacher glanced at Liu Yifeng, then at the dilapidated minivan, and said condescendingly, "Do you know what kind of kindergarten this is?"
"Exactly, this is the most prestigious kindergarten in the city, not everyone can get in. You've come to the wrong place," said a parent.
Liu Yifeng ignored her and continued to look at the kindergarten teacher, "I know what kind of kindergarten this is, or I wouldn't have come."
"Do you have a registration form? Only those who have obtained a registration form are eligible to bring their child for registration!" the teacher said.
Liu Yifeng shook his head, "No!"
Old Master Zhao told him to find his daughter directly upon arrival and didn't mention anything about registration forms.
"No registration form, what are you doing here? Hurry up and take your child away, don't disturb other parents registering," the teacher shooed him away.
In her opinion, Liu Yifeng was just wasting her time.
With school about to start, she was already busy, and didn't have time to argue with him.
"Teacher, here is my registration form," a parent proudly produced their registration form in front of Liu Yifeng.
They even intentionally showed it off to Liu Yifeng, letting him see what a registration form looked like.
The registration form had the unique logo of the Aerospace Kindergarten, different from ordinary forms, looking very exquisite.
"And this is mine," another parent also produced their registration form.
The teacher took the registration form and immediately showed a friendly smile, "Two parents, please hold your child's hand and follow me."
After speaking, she looked at Liu Yifeng sternly, "Please drive your car away from our kindergarten immediately. This is not a place anyone can just enter."
Liu Yifeng held Tongtong's hand and frowned. Could such a snobbish teacher raise good students? He began to doubt.
"Daddy, shall we change to another kindergarten?" Tongtong disliked the aunt's attitude towards Daddy.
But Liu Yifeng didn't want to miss this opportunity, as the Aerospace Kindergarten was recognized as the one with the best education.
Children who graduated from here had very high academic achievements.
He couldn't negate all the teachers here just because of one teacher.
So, he smiled at Tongtong, "It's okay, our Tongtong is so smart, he will definitely be admitted."
After speaking, he took Tongtong and followed.
As soon as they reached the main entrance of the kindergarten, the teacher leading the way showed an impatient expression, "Sir, what's going on? Who told you to follow?
I made it very clear, without a registration form, you cannot enter our kindergarten. Please leave immediately, or I'll call security."
"Exactly, the children entering this kindergarten are all future elites. How can your son study in the same kindergarten as my son? Don't corrupt him," a parent clearly looked down on Liu Yifeng.
He didn't want poor people in this kindergarten.
Although children from poor families mature early, that air of poverty could not be changed.
What if his child also picked up bad habits from these poor children.
" I've arranged with your director. If you don't believe me, you can call your director." Liu Yifeng explained.
"Our director is very busy right now and doesn't have time to deal with this trivial matter. Since you say you've arranged with our director, then call her."
"I... I don't have her number." Old Master Zhao only told him to bring his child to register on weekdays and didn't give him a number.
As soon as he said this, a parent burst into laughter, "How can you come up with such a lame excuse? First, you say you've arranged with the director, then you say you don't have her number. Aren't you trying to fool someone!"
"Security, there's someone causing trouble here, come and drive him away!" The teacher, unwilling to waste any more time with Liu Yifeng, directly called for security.
The security guard heard the commotion and walked over, looking at Liu Yifeng with ill intent, "Sir, are you going to leave on your own, or shall I push you out?
However, your child is still here, so I advise you to set a good example in front of your child."
Liu Yifeng knew he couldn't explain himself with just words, so he planned to go back to his car to call Old Master Zhao.
Just then, a stern female voice sounded from the entrance, "What's going on?"
Seeing the person, the teacher immediately went to greet her, "Director, this gentleman said he had arranged with you to register, but when I asked him to call you, he said he didn't have your number. He must be a fraud. I'm having security drive him away!"
After hearing this, the director looked at Liu Yifeng and Tongtong, and after thinking for a long time, it seemed she hadn't arranged for anyone to register.
Finally, Liu Yifeng spoke up to remind her, and she remembered.
"Hello Director, Mr. Zhao asked me to come, and he said he had spoken to you!"
"My father? You are Mr. Liu who sold him wild mushrooms?" Zhao Qing asked.
A few days ago, when she went home, her father mentioned that Mr. Liu, who sold him wild mushrooms, wanted his son to study at her kindergarten.
At the time, she didn't want to agree. He was just a seller of wild mushrooms and didn't have the means to afford her kindergarten's tuition.
But if she didn't agree, her father would be sullen and say that if he couldn't eat delicious wild mushrooms in the future, he would blame her.
Unable to refuse her father, who loved wild mushrooms, and not wanting to be called an unfilial daughter, she agreed.
However, she forgot about it the next day, as she didn't think the person's son had the ability to enter her kindergarten.
Because their kindergarten not only had expensive tuition but also very high requirements for the children.
They had to pass their entrance examination to be admitted to kindergarten.
Unexpectedly, he brought his child quite quickly, arriving early on Monday morning.
The child was very handsome and cute, like a little prince.
But this was not a beauty contest; the most important thing was the child's personal ability.
Liu Yifeng nodded repeatedly when he saw her remember, "Yes, I am Liu Yifeng, and this is my son Liu Tongtong!"
"Then follow me!" Zhao Qing did not make things difficult for Liu Yifeng.
She always kept her promises, even though she didn't think Liu Yifeng's child could pass the entrance examination.
Watching Liu Yifeng and his son follow behind the director, the two parents exchanged glances, both unsure of what had happened, and why he was allowed in.
The female teacher was a little worried that Liu Yifeng would report her, as she had been the one who strongly prevented him from entering and had said some unpleasant things.
Arriving at the director's office, Zhao Qing gestured for Liu Yifeng to sit on the sofa.
"Mr. Liu, our kindergarten has standards for admitting children. Although I agreed to my father's request to let you bring your child for registration, everything still depends on ability."
Liu Yifeng nodded understandingly, "Director Zhao, don't worry, I understand. But I also believe in my son."
He stroked Tongtong's head, his eyes determined.
Zhao Qing was not new to parents who were so confident, but the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
However, she did not say discouraging words, "Then I wish you success. Let me tell you about our entrance examination. There are various options.
For example, arithmetic, reciting ancient poems, drawing, various musical talents, and athletic aptitude, etc. As long as you have one, you can meet the standard."
Liu Yifeng became more confident upon hearing this. His drawing and arithmetic skills alone surpassed ninety percent of adults nationwide.
If his child couldn't be admitted, it would mean that the children in their kindergarten were all geniuses among geniuses. 138 Reading Network
But he didn't believe there were any children smarter than his son in this kindergarten.
After agreeing, Zhao Qing asked the interview teachers to gather all the children who came for registration, and children taking the same subjects would be tested together.
There were twenty children registered today, and there would be more in the future.
Many of them chose to recite ancient poems and musical performances.
As for mathematics, no one chose it.
After all, reciting ancient poems only required memorization, and music could be learned outside.
Only mathematics relied on thinking patterns and adaptability, and was not easy to learn.
Parents lacked the patience and ability, so they usually sent their children to school for teachers to teach.
Only Tongtong chose arithmetic, which surprised Zhao Qing.
Because very few who registered voluntarily chose the arithmetic test, as their arithmetic was not as simple as one plus one; it included dozens of additions, which was knowledge learned in kindergarten.
From this perspective, it didn't seem very difficult, but for a child who had never attended kindergarten, it was a very challenging task.
When other parents heard the test item Liu Yifeng chose for his son, they all showed expressions of schadenfreude.
