Chapter 167: 164. Susu Receives Praise

Lehua Kindergarten.

Mu Xi looked with some surprise at one of the children who had raised their hand; although still a bit timid, the child had bravely raised their little hand.

This person was Susu. In Teacher Mu Xi's impression, the little girl Susu had a relatively introverted personality; basically, unless the teacher called on her, she never took the initiative to stand up and express herself, and this was the first time she had done so.

Teacher Mu Xi certainly wouldn't dampen Susu's confidence at a time like this, so she said with a smile on her face, "Alright, next we will let little Zhang Su tell us a story, everyone welcome her."

As she spoke, she took the lead in applauding.

As for the matter of Susu changing her surname, Zhang Ran had already notified Teacher Mu Xi, so now whenever Teacher Mu Xi called Susu, she called her Zhang Su directly.

Susu was called upon by Teacher Mu Xi, feeling a little excited and also a little nervous.

Teacher Mu Xi could see the little one's nervousness, so she walked up to her personally, took her little hand, and led her to the stage.

With Teacher Mu Xi by her side, Susu's courage grew much larger. Standing on the stage, she said in a small voice, "I... I want to tell a story about the Gourd Brothers today."

"I... I am Qiwa!"

"This is my Treasure Gourd!"

As she spoke, Susu also pointed to the Treasure Gourd she had placed on the table. This Treasure Gourd was also one of the reasons Susu was so popular today; everyone liked this Treasure Gourd.

Over the course of the winter break, playing with Taotao and the Auston brothers had made the little one much more cheerful, so apart from being a bit nervous and stuttering at the beginning, Susu slowly entered the state of storytelling.

Especially since this story was 'created' by Susu herself, she appeared even more excited when telling it.

When she reached a happy part, she even ran excitedly to her seat, took out the creation notebook she had brought, and showed it to everyone.

Not to mention, although this story was much more childish than Zhang Ran's original version, it was very attractive to the children.

Especially since it was mainly written by several children, most of the content was about how to be a hero who turns the tide and defeats the big villain with their own hands, which hit the children's hearts perfectly.

So Susu spent the whole afternoon telling stories, and even when it was time for extracurricular activities, a circle of people was still gathered around Susu.

This was the happiest day Susu had ever had at kindergarten. On this day, she also gained many, many little friends, keeping the little one smiling all day long.

And the other children also knew about Big Brother, Siwa, and Wuwa, so the children immediately started fighting over them—not fighting over other things, but fighting over the titles of Erwa, Sanwa, and Six!

This caused quite a stir in the kindergarten, and a few children even almost got into a fight.

Teacher Mu Xi hadn't expected things to escalate to such a degree, but her mind worked quickly, and she immediately came up with an idea.

That was to let the children also write their own stories, put themselves into the identities of Erwa and the others, and finally let Susu judge them.

This could exercise the children's writing ability, and she believed the parents would be very supportive.

So when Zhang Ran arrived at the kindergarten to pick up Susu, he found groups of little ones gathered around Susu; this was a scene he had never seen before.

"Grandpa!" Although Susu was surrounded by her little friends, she saw her grandfather at a glance and jumped up excitedly, waving her little hands.

Seeing Susu looking so excited, Zhang Ran felt happy too and hurriedly went over to hold Susu's little hand.

"Mr. Zhang, Susu's performance today was especially great!" Teacher Mu Xi immediately came over to praise Susu after seeing Zhang Ran, making Susu even more excited.

Afterwards, Zhang Ran heard Teacher Mu Xi recount Susu's performance today, and after listening, he also gave Susu a thumbs up.

"Susu's grandpa, can you give me a Treasure Gourd too?" Just as Zhang Ran was feeling proud, a chubby little hand tugged at Zhang Ran's hem.

Once these words were out, the other children on the side all spoke up one after another, leaving Zhang Ran not knowing what to do for a moment.

The children all knew that Susu's Treasure Gourd was a gift from her grandfather, and this Treasure Gourd was also very magical to the children; they had also drunk the water inside the Treasure Gourd, and Susu had even performed with it, making the little ones even more envious.

However, there were still teachers and parents on the side, so they quickly rescued Zhang Ran.

In the end, Zhang Ran didn't say he would give out Treasure Gourds, but he did give them something else.

"Teacher Mu Xi, in two days I will have the Gourd Brothers stories they wrote printed out, with the stories for Erwa and Sanwa left blank, and then we'll distribute a copy to every child," Zhang Ran said.

He already knew about her arrangements from Teacher Mu Xi, so he went with the flow.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang," Teacher Mu Xi said with a smile.

After Zhang Ran picked up Zhang Xiaotao, Susu excitedly told Brother Taotao about what happened today.

"Grandpa, I also want to give my classmates a gift like this, can I?" Zhang Xiaotao looked at Zhang Ran full of anticipation.

How could Zhang Ran disagree? He waved his hand grandly and said, "Of course you can, Grandpa will go do it right away."

As he spoke, Zhang Ran called Ning Qing and asked her to find someone to help print out the things Zhang Xiaotao and the others had written.

Zhang Ran discovered that handing things like this over to rich kids like Ning Qing to handle was really convenient, and the speed was also very fast.

At dinner that night, Zhang Ran recounted Susu's achievements today to Zhang Sicheng and Liu Lu with a look of pride.

Watching Zhang Ran like this, Zhang Sicheng and Liu Lu were both left between laughter and tears; even when Prince Haiman came over, Zhang Sicheng and the others hadn't seen Zhang Ran act like this.

And now, just because Susu was praised at kindergarten, he was like this, leaving them not knowing what to say.

It seemed that in Zhang Ran's eyes, being good friends with Prince Haiman was not as important as Susu receiving a compliment.

However, they felt increasingly close to Zhang Ran for being this way.

That wasn't the end of it; after dinner, Zhang Ran made another video call to Zhang Siyan to recount Susu's performance today again.

However, upon seeing that Zhang Siyan was hosting a dinner party on her end, he just said a few words and then hung up.

But Zhang Ran's behavior fell completely into the eyes of Qian Li and the others. Zhou Min didn't think much of it, but Qian Li had the same expression as Zhang Sicheng and the others.

After Zhang Ran hung up the video, Zhou Min saw this expression on Qian Li and asked curiously, "Qian Li, why do you have such a ghost-seeing expression? Is it worth it? Haven't you seen Siyan's dad before?"

She had also just heard Zhang Siyan recount the sequence of events, so although Zhang Ran looked very young, she had accepted it immediately.

"If you knew the situation, you would probably be the same as me," Qian Li said.
