Rebirth of a Farmer's Dad

A few days later, Luo Feng received a reply from Officer Liu: Xinghua's household registration had been completed. This made Luo Feng incredibly excited; the household registration issue was resolved, so it was time to take Xinghua to kindergarten.

I told my daughter about it. I thought she would be happy, but to my surprise, she started crying and making a fuss.

She didn't want to go to school, and she didn't want to leave her father.

Naïve Xinghua thought this was just an excuse her father made up to get rid of her. Once she went to school, she would never see her father again.

Luo Feng went to great lengths, using kind words to persuade her. Finally, after agreeing to a whole host of the little girl's requests, Xinghua reluctantly agreed to go to school.

With his daughter's problem solved, Luo Feng will have to take her to school and pick her up every day from now on, and he will also have to buy her a lot of delicious food.

Then, Luo Feng took his daughter to kindergarten.

The kindergarten is small, just a small courtyard surrounded by small bungalows.

There was only one children's slide in the yard, nothing else.

However, the hygiene conditions were acceptable, and there was not much garbage in the hospital.

Luo Feng also made a special trip to see the children's classrooms. He found that protective measures had been taken to prevent the children from getting hurt. In addition, the children's toys and food were relatively clean.

Clearly, in terms of hygiene, this is the best in the entire county.

However, the level of education is really disappointing. These children are so young, yet they're learning addition and subtraction within 100. Isn't that something taught in first or second grade?

But nowadays people aren't so picky; it's good enough to have a school to attend.

Afterwards, Luo Feng asked around and quickly found the kindergarten principal. After Luo Feng explained his purpose and handed over his household registration book and tuition fees, the principal quickly helped Xinghua complete the enrollment procedures.

I thought there would be an extra fee for transferring to another class, but they didn't mention it at all. Come to think of it, how many children can afford to go to school these days? They're short of students, so they don't have time to worry about such things.

Next, Luo Feng and Xinghua, carrying the teaching materials given to them by the principal, followed the principal to the classroom assigned to Xinghua.

After watching his daughter timidly go on stage and give her self-introduction, Luo Feng greeted the principal and teachers and then prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, Xinghua suddenly rushed forward, grabbed Luo Feng's clothes, and cried loudly, refusing to let him leave.

They had clearly agreed that if Xinghua agreed to her conditions, she would study hard. But now, it seemed she had forgotten everything.

Luo Feng ignored her, shook off Xinghua's hand, and walked into the courtyard.

To everyone's surprise, Xinghua chased him all the way into the courtyard. She rolled on the ground, wailing and crying, as if determined not to leave her father even at the cost of her life.

Luo Feng ignored her and left his daughter, who was crying with tears in her eyes, behind him. He quickly walked out of the courtyard gate, and gradually, his figure disappeared around the corner.

It wasn't that Luo Feng was heartless; after all, he only had this one daughter, and he loved her dearly enough, so how could he treat her like this?

But Luo Feng knew that if he didn't harden his heart now, it would be even more difficult to teach his daughter to be independent in the future.

Luo Feng then returned to the shop, but for the rest of the day, he was absent-minded.

Trying to do some accounting, but forgetting how to write the characters; serving dishes to guests, but bringing them to the wrong table; going into the kitchen to help, but always making things worse.

This made Luo Feng the target of ridicule from everyone in the store.

But he didn't seem to care or get angry about it.

What he's concerned about now is whether his daughter is doing well at kindergarten, whether she's being bullied, whether she's eating on time, and whether she's getting along well with her classmates...

This is perhaps a common problem for all fathers. Even though their daughters have only been separated from them for a few hours, it feels like an eternity has passed.

Ultimately, unable to calm down, Luo Feng chose to stay upstairs alone and stare blankly into space.

The shop still needs to do business, so I can't let it affect business. I'm already grateful if I can't do anything right now and don't cause trouble for others.

"What time is it? Shouldn't we go pick Xinghua up from school?" This was the question Luo Feng asked the most today.

Tiger and the others were getting annoyed by the questions and replied with some disgust, "Brother Feng, it's only 10 a.m., it's still early."

They also found Luo Feng's unusual behavior today very strange. Perhaps it was because they had never been fathers, so they simply couldn't understand Luo Feng's feelings at this moment.

The next few hours seemed to drag on endlessly for Luo Feng. He endured until noon.

He excitedly ran to the kindergarten, ready to pick up his daughter and take her home for lunch.

However, it wasn't until he was almost at the kindergarten gate that he suddenly remembered that the principal had told him that lunch would be eaten at the kindergarten and that parents didn't need to come.

Having no other choice, Luo Feng had to go back to the shop.

After all, today was his daughter's first day of school. He had finally steeled himself to get her into kindergarten, and Luo Feng was certain he wouldn't have the same resolve to do it again.

Furthermore, he couldn't let Xinghua see him again, because he couldn't bear to see his daughter crying anymore.

After that, Luo Feng began his long wait, which lasted for an entire afternoon.

Although he knew that this was an experience every father would go through, to be honest, these days were not easy, and Luo Feng was almost driven crazy by them.

The most painful thing was that he was completely helpless and could only wait silently.

To make time pass faster and not to affect the store's business, Luo Feng decided to go outside for a walk.

But without asking him for directions, he always unconsciously wanders around Xinghua's kindergarten.

It seemed as if something was drawing him in, making him reluctant to leave.

Finally, Luo Feng couldn't take it anymore. He returned to the shop, drank alone, and prepared to get drunk to drown his sorrows.

But to his surprise, he actually got drunk from drinking.

When it was time to pick Xinghua up from school, Luo Feng was still fast asleep in the shop. The others were busy and forgot about it.

Fortunately, Luo's shop had a good reputation, and when Xinghua mentioned the shop's name, the teacher took her there.

Ironically, Luo Feng still hadn't woken up even after the teacher brought Xinghua back.

Seeing Luo Feng's drunken state and hearing Hu Zi and the others recount what had happened that day, the teacher couldn't help but chuckle.

Xinghua looked at her father and shook her head like a little adult. Then she pinched her nose and pretended to be very unfriendly.

This scene immediately made everyone in the store burst into laughter.

This father and daughter are so alike, they look exactly alike.
