The cannon fodder female supporting role in the misplaced life

On Christmas Day, Xu Yingying looked at Lin Xinyi, who was happily wearing a princess dress, and said, "The event starts in the afternoon. We will come early then!"

Lin Weiye also said: "Dad will pick up Mom when the time comes!"

Lin Xinyi looked at her parents and said, "Okay!"

However, what Xu Yingying had not expected was that the moment she and Lin Weiye stepped into the kindergarten gate together, the scene before them was completely beyond her imagination.

As soon as Lin Xinyi saw her parents coming, tears welled up in her eyes and she ran towards them crying. Xu Yingying saw this and her heart suddenly sank. She quickly squatted down, hugged her daughter tightly, and asked with concern: "Baby, what's wrong? Tell mom!"

But at this time, Lin Xinyi was already immersed in sadness. She just kept sobbing and making a "woohoo" sound from her mouth. She was unable to respond to her mother's questions at all.

After some patient soothing, Xu Yingying finally learned the full story from her teacher. Lin Xinyi had deliberately donned her beloved princess dress, intending to show it off in front of her friends. Unexpectedly, this sparked jealousy from the other children. Not only did they mock and ridicule her, but they also said some awful things. Poor Lin Xinyi couldn't handle the injustice and hurt, so she burst into tears.

After Xu Yingying learned about this, she was extremely anxious and decided to take the child home, hoping to give her warmth and care. However, the thoughtful Lin Weiye saw through Xu Yingying's thoughts at a glance. He said solemnly: "Wife, we can't help our child escape as soon as we see her in trouble!"

Hearing this, Xu Yingying couldn't help but frown and retorted: "How can this be considered running away? I just want to take the child back first and get her away from this uneasy environment."

Faced with his wife's questioning, Lin Weiye did not rush to argue, but stared at her silently. He knew that Xu Yingying was completely dominated by her worries about the child and her emotions had the upper hand, but as long as she calmed down a little, she would naturally understand his painstaking efforts.

As expected, under her husband's calm and resolute gaze, Xu Yingying gradually began to feel somewhat uneasy, her initially agitated emotions gradually subsiding. She began to reflect on her impulsive behavior, realizing that while hastily taking Xinyi away from the kindergarten might temporarily provide her with a new environment and a slight boost in mood, it wasn't a sound long-term solution. After careful consideration, Xu Yingying finally agreed with Lin Weiye's point: when children encounter setbacks, parents should guide them to bravely face their challenges, rather than simply taking care of everything for them or avoiding reality.

"Then what do you think we should do now?" Although Xu Yingying understood that she couldn't just leave, she didn't know how to guide Lin Xinyi at the moment.

Lin Weiye looked at his wife in front of him and said, "Leave it to me!"

Xu Yingying nodded in agreement.

Seeing that his wife agreed to let him take over, Lin Weiye went straight to Lin Xinyi, who was still standing alone in the corridor. Xu Yingying followed behind Lin Weiye to see how he planned to communicate with Lin Xinyi.

Lin Weiye: "Xinyi, how do you feel now?"

The initial surge of resentment that had surged upon seeing her parents had gradually dissipated. In fact, upon entering kindergarten today, her mood was as bright and radiant as the morning sun piercing the mist. However, the unguarded words of her classmates were like a sharp dagger, ruthlessly piercing her innocent heart. Even so, she remained resilient, biting her lip tightly to stifle the tears.

It wasn't until she saw her parents rushing over that all the suppressed emotions finally burst forth like a flood, instantly drowning her. Tears flowed freely, her sobs choking. But after all, she had just cried so hard, and at this moment, her emotions gradually calmed down. Although her eyes were still red and swollen, and her voice still sounded a little hoarse, she still tried to calm herself down and whispered, "Dad, am I really useless?"

Faced with his daughter's self-doubt, Lin Weiye didn't immediately respond. He was startled for a moment, then a gentle smile played on his face. He said slowly, "Xinyi, you were very brave today."

Lin Xinyi's eyes widened in disbelief. She had never imagined that her father would not only not scold her for crying, but instead praise her for her bravery. Xu Yingying, standing nearby, was equally bewildered by Lin Weiye's unexpected remarks.

Seeing Lin Xinyi's puzzled expression, Lin Weiye gently patted her shoulder and continued, "Xinyi, Daddy has experienced a similar situation as you. Back then, Daddy was about your age, and he also faced the cold words, ridicule, and belittling of others. But Daddy was timid and cowardly back then. Although his heart was filled with pain and grievance, he didn't dare to shed even a tear. So, in comparison, my dear Xinyi was able to express her feelings authentically. Isn't that a great courage?"

Lin Xinyi listened attentively to her father's story about his past experiences, her big eyes fixed on his lips without blinking, as if she was afraid of missing any word and couldn't wait to know how the story would develop next.

"Xinyi, don't you think that since daddy didn't cry, how can you say you are brave for crying?" Lin Weiye asked.

Lin Xinyi nodded. She really didn’t quite understand what her father said.

"Because Xinyi, you have the courage to express your emotions when you see mom and dad, even though dad said you are brave. If you bottle up your unhappiness and grievance in your heart, dad will think you will be very unhappy and unable to solve the problem." As Lin Weiye spoke, he wondered if Xinyi could understand what he said now.

Xu Yingying wasn't sure if Lin Xinyi understood, but she did understand what Lin Weiye meant. However, she also knew that Lin Weiye needed further training in the art of educating children. While his words made sense, she wasn't sure if Xinyi, at such a young age, would understand.
