Immortal Becomes a Stay-at-home Dad After Return

Translator: Cold Love

Chapter 35: Education

Afternoon 3pm.

Though there was still 30 minutes before school ended, there was already a crowd of people gathering at the gates.

Of course, they were all parents that had come to fetch their kids.

A 20 plus year old young man such as Chen Xi stood out amidst a crowd of aunties and uncles, like a crane in a flock of chicken.

The children were currently playing in the playground within the kindergarten.

Separated by a fence, Chen Xi gazed at the little kiddo. She was so engrossed in playing with the slide that she was oblivious to Chen Xi’s presence.

Looking at how elated she was, almost forgetting about her father, it made Chen Xi felt at ease.

He was really worried that Nian Nian might not be able to adapt to the kindergarten’s environment.

He definitely would not allow Nian Nian to have any mental disorder such as autism, clinical depression and so on, because when it came to psychological disorder or trauma, he really had no way of curing it…

While watching Nian Nian from outside the fence, a hand suddenly reached out and tapped his shoulder?

“Aye, young man, are you Aunty Zhang’s son?”

Chen Xi turned around and saw an aged woman smiling at him.

It was the woman he met in the district when he first came back to Earth.

“Ah, yes. I lived at the fifth block, first unit, 302. Aunty, you are?

“No wonder you look so familiar. It seems that I’ve seen you quite a few times in the district. When I suddenly saw Nian Nian inside, I guessed that you might be her father…My surname is Qian, just call me Aunty Qian. My grandson is also inside, there, there he is, that troublemaker.”

While saying, she pointed to a boy that was running like mad in the playground.

Based on her attitude, it seemed that she has forgotten that she used to regard Chen Xi as crazy beggar.

“Hello Aunty Qian, I was working overseas and finally have the time to come back, hence, I haven’t recognize most of our neighbors yet…”

“No big deal, you get get to know as time goes.”

Aunty waved her hand as she laughed, “Let me tell you, Nian Nian is the most behaving kid in our district. The little lady is so adorable, our Peng Peng likes to play with her the most.”

“Is it? Haha…”

Chen Xi politely smiled.

Maybe it was because that he was not used to communicating with the elders, he was at a loss on what to say and could only reply their ramblings with a smile.

“Of course. There was this one time when I jokingly told Peng Peng that I will let him marry Nian Nian when he grows up. You should have seen his embarrassed face, it was as red as a tomato.”

“Really?”

“That’s for sure. The kids now were much smarter than us back in our days, they were able to tell who is good looking or not. A lot of children in the district likes to play with Nian Nian, however, it used to be only Aunty Zhang that was caring for Nian Nian and hence, Nian Nian did not come out often to play. Since you are back, be sure to bring Nian Nian out to play more often…”

Hearing this, the agreeable smiled was still plastered on his face, however, Chen Xi became slightly vigilant.

…

Martinson, S.M. proposed that toddlers from around 3 years of age will develop feelings for the opposite sex.

Kids desired for knowledge and they were curious about everything and anything, including their own body parts.

Sometimes, it was by themselves, other times, it was with the other sex, they would let each other see or touch.

It manifested in many ways, such as [Play Doctor], [Play Marriage], [Play Skirt], [Play House] and so on.

According to the Nagoya City Council of Youth Issues, they conducted an experiment in 1970 on 290 toddlers, among which, 201 of them displayed actions of [Play Skirt].

70% of them stopped the act under the supervision of adults; 167 of them peeped in the toilet, 164 peeped from under the skirt and 108 flipped the skirt.

Hence, it was impossible to effectively avoid this widespread actions among toddlers.

Thinking up to this point, Chen Xi started to feel slightly uncomfortable.

You dare to hit on my daughter?

Impossible, I have to find a chance to educate Nian Nian about her gender…

There was a certain way of development of a person’s sexual psychology and their gender roles. Normally, the results would be normal. However, if one imparted the wrong method of educating, it might caused some abnormality.

Especially for children aged 3 to 5, after going through sexual education, they receive the conformity from society on their awareness of sociology and psychology of sexuality.

If the parents were aware that their child had an incorrect view on their own sexuality, they had to keep calm and correct the child with patience, guide the child naturally and not reprimand or scare them.

For example, when some mothers saw their child playing with organ X, they would scold, “Do not touch!”, “Dirty! Don’t touch that place!” or “This is so embarrassing! Don’t touch it next time!”

Or they would forcefully pry their hands away, some would even beat their child up.

This would easily cause the child to develop a misconception at a very young age: Organ X is dirty, must not be seen by people, can’t be touched. Anything related to organ X must be restricted, if not one will be punished.

Guiding the child naturally and leading them onto the correct path were the only effective correct method.

It might be due to his traditional mindset, after talking with Aunty Qian, Chen Xi’s feelings became extremely complicated.

Since Nian Nian was a girl, as a father, he felt that Nian Nian might be at a disadvantage.

Although Chen Xi understood that those were just kids fooling around, moreover, it was a natural instinct for humans to do that, however, he felt slightly uncomfortable about it…

Very uncomfortable…

Extremely uncomfortable

It was finally 4pm when the children were dismissed.

Chen Xi pushed his way to front of the school gates and the little kiddo spotted Chen Xi straight away.

While calling out “Papa”, the little kiddo wanted to squeeze out from in between the metal gate. However, she was timely stopped by Teacher Wang.

Not anyone could just fetch the child home from the kindergarten. Once Teacher Wang spotted Chen Xi, she held Nian Nian’s hand and brought her outside.

“Papa!”

Just when she stepped out of the school, the little kiddo pounced onto Chen Xi’s leg and hugged it. She then raised her head and sweetly said, “Papa, I miss you so so much!”

“Good girl!” *Muack*

Chen Xi gave a big laugh as he carried the little kiddo and prompted her to bid farewell to Teacher Wang, “Come, say goodbye to teacher.”

“Goodbye teacher!”

The little kiddo waved her hand energetically, it looked like her impression of Teacher Wang was not bad.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Chen Xi and praising the little kiddo for being so thoughtful, she busied herself with sending another child.

Chen Xi carried Nian Nian while the little kiddo excitedly told Chen Xi about her experience in school.

“Nian Nian, do you like the kindergarten?”

“like!”

The little kiddo forcefully nodded her head.

Initially, she often had to play by herself, but now, she suddenly had so many friends her age, how could she not be happy?

“Papa will bring you here again tomorrow, okay?”

“Okay!”

“Good girl.”

Chen Xi gently touched her small cheeks as he guessed, ‘when will the little kiddo say that she doesn’t want to attend kindergarten anymore…’
