194: Chapter 194 Er Bao Deliberately Makes Trouble 194: Chapter 194 Er Bao Deliberately Makes Trouble The kids learned pinyin very quickly.
After a week, Xiao Fei discovered that the three little ones had mastered all the pinyin.
But then a problem arose that left Xiao Fei scratching his head.
Individual pinyin—no issues when the kids read them aloud.
Even so combinations of flat and curled tongue initials weren’t a problem.
But the trouble begins when initials and finals combine, and the pronunciation of a full character starts.
That’s when all sorts of chaos occur.
This day.
“Co on, kids, follow Daddy: r…en…ren!
‘Person!'”
Da Bao: “r…en…ren…’Person!'”
Er Bao: “r…en…gu ya!”
Sanbao: “r…en…wen?”
Xiao Fei: “…?”
Great.
As usual, Da Bao learns everything incredibly fast.
Sanbao’s problem isn’t unusual.
Many kids face similar challenges when first learning pinyin—it’s not a big deal to mispronounce; it’s sothing that can be corrected with ti.
But Er Bao—what exactly is going on?!
The little one sat between Da Bao and Sanbao, completely unaware of the severity of the issue, swinging around cheerfully.
“Er Bao!”
Xiao Fei put on a stern face, fixing his gaze on her.
Er Bao blinked her big eyes and suddenly flashed a radiant, sunflower-like smile at Xiao Fei.
“Ba-ba…!”
“Er Bao, no ssing around, okay?
r…en…’Person!'”
“r…en…wen?”
“Person~”
“Person~”
“r…en…?”
“Gu ya!”
Xiao Fei slapped his own face.
That evening.
Tang Yuxin, back ho, burst into laughter after hearing Xiao Fei recount the day’s teaching chaos with the kids and ended up clutching her stomach and rolling on the sofa.
Xiao Fei glanced at the three little ones entertaining themselves nearby.
“I’m certain of one thing—Er Bao absolutely knows how to pronounce correctly; she’s just ssing around intentionally.”
“Kids love having fun.”
Tang Yuxin defended Er Bao.
“You know this little one has been mischievous since she was small.”
“It’s fine to act silly while playing, but when it’s ti to study, that’s unacceptable.”
Xiao Fei frowned, troubled about how to rectify Er Bao’s bad habit.
It’s fine for now, as it’s still at ho, and he’s teaching her.
But if this behavior isn’t corrected and follows her to kindergarten or elentary school, disturbing lessons—it’d be a big problem.
Never underestimate small bad habits just because kids are little.
Don’t assu they’ll naturally grow out of it soday.
Lots of minor issues, if not addressed at the budding stage, can turn into headaches for adults in the future.
Xiao Fei definitely didn’t want Er Bao’s antics to be fild and uploaded online soday, leading to comnts from sarcastic netizens calling her a “bratty kid” or “child of the nation who eats flowers.”
So, the following day.
Er Bao continued her mischief as usual.
Xiao Fei corrected her a few tis, but the results weren’t notable.
He didn’t say much, though.
After wrapping up the day’s teaching and introducing the kids to five new characters, he brought out two beautifully crafted desserts he’d made with great care.
The desserts were designed to resemble lovely flowers, sweet in taste, and sothing kids especially adore.
Xiao Fei placed the desserts in front of Da Bao and Sanbao.
“Alright, these are rewards from Daddy—you both studied very seriously today.”
Er Bao was stunned.
She looked at Da Bao, then at Sanbao, and finally turned to Xiao Fei with hopeful eyes.
Xiao Fei shrugged his hands: “Er Bao, none for you.”
“Eh…?”
Er Bao opened her mouth, visibly wronged.
Her eyes glistened, as though tears were about to fall.
Xiao Fei’s heart ached imdiately, but he knew he had to stay firm to correct his child’s bad habit—he couldn’t soften now.
“Er Bao, you don’t get one—do you know why Da Bao and Sanbao have desserts and you don’t?”
Er Bao wiped her tears.
“Because Er Bao was disruptive during Daddy’s lesson.”
Walking over to Er Bao, Xiao Fei gently rubbed her head.
“Daddy knows Er Bao is very clever.
You can definitely learn these things.
But Er Bao, you’re deliberately causing trouble, and that’s absolutely not allowed.”
At this point, Da Bao noticed Er Bao crying.
He thought for a mont and pushed his own dessert over.
“…Sis…eat.”
Sanbao followed suit.
Xiao Fei was delighted to see the kids caring for each other.
But now wasn’t the ti to let the kids share.
He sternly said, “Da Bao, Sanbao, you can’t give your desserts to Er Bao because this is a punishnt.”
“Whether you’re an adult or a child, if you make a mistake, you must face the consequence.
Understand?”
The kids exchanged puzzled looks, struggling to comprehend.
“Ba-ba…”
Er Bao called Xiao Fei softly, her face filled with grievance.
“Er Bao, everyone must be responsible for their actions.”
“Even kids, if they make a mistake, must face the sa rule.”
“You disrupted Daddy’s teaching, which made him upset.
That’s why you don’t get a reward today.”
“Mmm…”
Er Bao’s watery eyes stared at the desserts in front of Da Bao and Sanbao.
Finally, she pursed her lips and lowered her head.
“Do you know what to do when you realize you’ve made a mistake?”
Er Bao shook her head.
Xiao Fei softened his tone and said gently, “First, you need to apologize—to Daddy, and also to Da Bao and Sanbao.
Do you know why?”
Er Bao shook her head again.
“Because when Daddy was teaching you, you weren’t paying attention, and that made Daddy sad.”
“Da Bao and Sanbao were learning seriously, but Er Bao was fooling around, which made it hard for them to learn too.”
Hearing Xiao Fei’s explanation, Er Bao remained silent for a long ti.
Eventually, a barely audible voice erged.
“Ba-ba…sorry…”
“And who else?”
“Da Bao…Sanbao…sorry.”
Xiao Fei finally smiled, picking up Er Bao and giving her a kiss, then placing her in front of Da Bao and Sanbao.
“Da Bao, Sanbao—Er Bao apologized, so you should respond, ‘It’s okay.’ Got it?”
The two little ones nodded and obediently replied, “It’s okay.”
Xiao Fei clapped his hands.
“Great!
When you make a mistake, you apologize.
When soone apologizes to you, you forgive them.
That way, you’ll remain good friends.”
“Er Bao, even though you apologized, you still don’t get any dessert.”
Xiao Fei wouldn’t abandon the punishnt just because Er Bao had said sorry.
If he did, it might lead the child to assu that no matter what mistake they make, a simple apology will resolve everything.
If that’s the case, how would it differ from certain folks who believe a quick bow and an “I’m sorry” can erase any wrongdoing?
Upon hearing Xiao Fei’s decision, Er Bao’s eyes quickly dimd.
After a while.
Xiao Fei saw Da Bao and Sanbao secretly sharing their desserts with Er Bao.
Looking at the dessert in front of her, Er Bao hesitated for a long mont before shaking her head.
“I won’t eat it…Ba-ba will get mad.”
After saying that, Er Bao waddled off on her own, sat in a corner hugging her knees, lost in thought.
Watching this scene, Xiao Fei let out a deep, wistful sigh.
He really hoped Er Bao would rember this lesson.
