[Net King + Black Basket] Seijuro, your mother calls you to go home for dinner!

what a little girl is made of

Sugar, spices, and all the good stuff.

What is the little boy made of?

Frogs, snails, and puppy tails.

When reading this short poem in the nursery rhyme collection of Mother Goose, Xun Li felt a bit of bitterness in his chest.

"What is Seijuro made of (What is Seijuro made of?)" She gently traced on the paper with a pen dipped in ink, "Homework, homework, lots and lots of books. (homework, homework, and many, many books)."

Xun Li couldn't even imagine how he managed it.In her case, she was just a young girl who played with Barbie dolls, always troubled her mother and teased her younger sister.

She has protested countless times against Masashi's Spartan curriculum plan for Seijuro since he was two and a half years old, and it tends to get worse with age.However, she was hesitant to speak most of the time, and was forced back by Masashi's cold air.Even if he took the initiative to mention it when he was in a good mood, he would choose to ignore it automatically, which made Xunli feel a little powerless "bumping his head on the soft cotton".

So, what kind of curriculum plan was complained time and time again by Xunli——

Get up at 08:30 in the morning, eat after half an hour of simple morning exercises, read from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-], and spend in kindergarten from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-] in the afternoon.Masashi didn't let Seijuro idle even after school, and ordered the housekeeper Shikawa to fully supervise the young master's extracurricular tutoring.

Violin and piano lessons twice a week, equestrian lessons three times, etiquette lessons, and a variety of tutoring courses at the elementary school level.Apart from the messy homework, physical training and a lot of practice, the remaining time that Seijuro can freely control is pitifully small.That was the limit for a two-and-a-half-year-old child, but he accepted his father Masashi's arrangement without saying a word.

In addition to being helpless and distressed about this, Xunli is also afraid that Seijuro will be too obedient to Masashi and make him lose his mind.It's not that she doesn't trust children, but she always hates the selfishness of all parents in the world-they always like to shape their children's characters according to their own preferences.

Once a child realizes and wants to break this rule, he will become rebellious and even take an incorrect path.

……

"Mom...Mom, I finished my homework." The red-haired child happily ran to Xunli's side and tugged at the hem of her skirt, "The tutor said I did a good job."

Xun Li froze for a moment, then suddenly smiled like a flower.

"Well, I knew Xiaozheng was the best!"

What is she worried about—the two-and-a-half-year-old baby can't speak well, walks shakyly, but has to shoulder the mission of "becoming the next heir of the Akashi family" on her thin shoulders.How could Seijuro, who is so busy, have time to think of resistance?

Xunli's smile was a bit pretentious, and while she was stroking his soft red hair habitually, she thought silently in her heart: If one day Seijuro really chooses to disobey Masashi, then she will stand by the child without hesitation. side.

Time flies.

The time that will never return is like the fine sand that flows quietly from between the fingers.Seijuro is now four years old, and he is two years away from elementary school.Although the appearance is still immature, in Xun Li's heart he grows more and more like an independent little man.

It is too much to describe him as a "manly man". After all, he is much thinner than children of the same age, but in the eyes of every mother, her child is a "beauty".

"Young madam, are you going to pick up the young master again?" Katase skillfully handed the overcoat to Xunli, and asked with a smile while bending her eyes.

"Yeah, today is Friday, I want to surprise him."

Xunli usually gets off work at [-] o'clock, and it is already past [-] o'clock when he rushes home, and he always misses the time to pick up Jujuro from the kindergarten.At first, he was afraid that Seijuro would not be able to adapt to life in the kindergarten. Under Xunli's strong request, the housekeeper Shichuan had to send a car to pick up Seijuro first, then went around the city center to pick up Xunli, and finally sent the mother and son to the main house.Today, Seijuro, who has been away from his mother's arms for a long time, is also used to going home by car alone.

But kids are kids after all.Deep in their hearts, they always hope that their mothers care about them.

Seijuro attended the private kindergarten closest to his home.Unexpectedly, only in the choice of school, Kaoru raised his hands to agree with Masashi's opinion-firstly, the Akashi family is very rich despite being low-key; The measures are very good; the third good habit should be developed from an early age, and contact with upper-class children of the same age can also improve their own standards.Given that this kindergarten has a good reputation, parents don't need to worry about their children being spoiled and becoming domineering.

Teachers in private kindergartens discipline children more strictly than those in national kindergartens, and the difficulty of teaching is several levels higher.Xun Li has some opinions on this.

In March, when the temperature is rising, it is rare to see a cloud in the blue sky, and the sun is bright but not strong.Xunli chose to walk to the kindergarten where Seijuro was. In order to give him a surprise, she asked the butler Shichuan not to send a car, and she stood in a remote corner. The prank mentality made her want to tease her son to see if he found the car. The reaction after not coming.

There are surprises only after being frightened~ (No wonder Xiaozheng has such a calm personality in the future =v=)

"Ah, here we come!"

Seeing the figure of the little red-haired boy getting closer, Xunli hurriedly put on sunglasses and a mask to cover his entire face.No matter how suspicious this dress looked, the security guard standing at the door stared at her for a while, probably thinking her as a strange aunt who lured/abducted a child.

Seijuro, carrying a backpack and wearing a blue hat, lined up with other children and walked out of the kindergarten gate in a leisurely manner.The children turned into birds and beasts, looking for their own cars and housekeepers—most of their parents were upper-class people, who worked all day without seeing anyone, and few children could happily throw themselves into the arms of their parents after class—this Children of this kind usually receive naked envy, jealousy and hatred from other children.

Seijuro stood at the door for a while, usually the housekeeper Shikawa would arrive on time no matter it was windy or rainy and would open the car door for him, but at this time there was no one to be found.

……

A group of crows flapped their wings and flew over his head, the breeze blew the tender grass at his feet, and the children around him were picked up by the family car one after another.

But Seijuro still stood there calmly, and even Xunli became a little anxious, complaining in his heart that his son was a piece of rotten wood.But she didn't ignore his clenched little fist hanging by her side. The four-year-old was actually at a loss.

"If you're scared, think of something! For example, go back and find the teacher!" Xun Li stomped his feet——bad!The security guard was already walking in her direction.

Seeing this, Kaoru pulled off his mask, took off his sunglasses, and ran directly in the direction of Seijuro.

"Xiao Zheng~!"

The moment Seijuro's eyes met his mother's, his delicate face suddenly turned into a bun face.

"Mom, you're playing a prank!"

Only in front of his mother can he express his inner feelings without pressure, Tong Yanwuji is not afraid of being blamed.He puffed up his cheeks, his expression was a little bit aggrieved and he didn't dare to get angry, but his red eyes were full of joy.

Xun Li pinched his pink cheeks, the feeling was great!

"Mom, I'm just kidding~ Don't be angry." She accepted it as soon as she saw it, and took his soft little hand. "We go home."

Seijuro glanced behind her subconsciously, but he didn't see Butler Shikawa and the pick-up car.

"Don't look, it's just the two of us."

"Oh~" Seijuro's mood became more cheerful, and his smile became brighter. "I'm so excited to see my mom pick me up..."

Masashi taught him not to show his emotions since he was a child, but this trick didn't work in front of his mother.

Xun Li was naturally very happy, "Since when did Xiao Zheng's mouth become so sweet?"

"...Mom!" He knew his mother was teasing him again.

"Okay, okay, let's go home!"

The preschool teacher who was standing at the door to welcome and see off the child looked sideways. It was hard to imagine that the child who acted like a baby to his mother just now was the smartest and well-behaved Seijuro Akashi in the class.

"That must be a mother who is extremely gentle." She sighed silently, watching the mother and son holding hands walk away.

The afternoon sun elongated the shadows of the two of them, slanting across the ground.Just watching this extremely warm scene made the preschool teacher smile involuntarily.

Xunli and the others walked home, put away their bags, ate some snacks to satisfy their hunger, and then accompanied Seijuro to the racecourse to practice horsemanship.

Four-year-old Xuewan has grown rapidly under careful care, and is only a head short of Xunli in height.The horse trainer who manages the place, part-time Seijuro's equestrian teacher Uchida Keisuke, takes good care of the only pure white foal in the training ground, and helps him bathe every few days.

Its body shone like diamonds in the sun, and the hair on its tail was combed neatly, drawing a graceful arc when running.

Yukimaru's personality is somewhat similar to that of the little master, young but calm, with a pair of wise obsidian eyes that seem to be able to speak.Usually, when the state is unstable, as long as Seijuro comforts it, it can gradually restore calm.

Xunli carefully put on the protective gear and helmet for Maejuro.In the mood of "worried about Seijuro doing dangerous sports", she has observed several equestrian lessons, but later she stopped coming because of work.

Because of this, Seijuro's petty vanity made him eager to show his mother the skills he had learned.He stepped on the saddle deftly, holding the rein tightly with one hand while beckoning to Xun Li——

"Be careful!"

Although she is convinced of Seijuro's skills, her mother's nature makes her sweat for him.

"Young Madam, don't worry, Yukimaru is an obedient child." Uncle Uchida laughed heartily, "Master is very talented in horsemanship.

"I really can't understand why the child's father arranged equestrian lessons when he was so young." Xun Li complained, "The daily physical training has exceeded the load of a four-year-old child."

"Perhaps, this is the expression of the young master's unique love for the young master."

"...How can there be such a perverted way!"

Seijuro turned over and got off the horse with what he thought was extremely handsome, which was quite funny in Xunli's eyes.At best, a four-year-old is nothing more than a short-legged little bean~

Now Xunli can't walk anymore, please ask Butler Zhichuan to drive to pick him up.After returning to the house, Seijuro locked himself in the bedroom to concentrate on the extra homework assigned by the tutor and Masashi, and practiced the violin for a while before dinner.

……

There was a lot of fun at the dinner table.

The Akashi couple changed from occupying one end of the long table to sitting on both sides, with a distance of only one meter, and the usable area was reduced to one-fifth.Seijuro chose to sit on the right side of his mother and eat quietly, adhering to the rule of "you don't talk about food".

After removing the dinner plate, Masashi would start asking him about his daily life and study, but he usually wouldn't bring up important topics in front of Xunli.

"Tsk, to put it bluntly, you still don't trust me."

The relationship between the couple has not improved much, but they do not interfere with each other and respect each other's wishes.The only thing that sparked their dispute was undoubtedly Seijuro.

After the meal, Masashi called Seijuro to the study on the third floor for individual lectures. At the same time, Kaoru helped Seijuro make the bed and prepare the clothes for the next day, and then put a cup of hot milk on the bedside. .Seijuro asked himself to do these things no less than ten times, but he was ignored by Xun Li with a smile.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Seijuro climbed into the big bed and went to bed on time.His day usually ends with a goodnight kiss from Xun Li.If it is a leisurely weekend and you are lucky enough to hear bedtime stories, these "children" books selected by Yashi are neatly arranged on the mahogany bookshelf - Animal Farm, Lord of the Flies, Oliver Twist... and Xun Li secretly stuffed them Enter The Little Prince.

"Good night, Mom." After saying that, Seijuro pulled the quilt to his chest and closed his eyes obediently.

"Goodnight myangel."

Xun Li left a feather-like kiss on the top of his left eyelid, and the ticklish he "giggled" twice.He soon fell into a deep sleep.

The above is an extremely ordinary and harmonious day for Akashi Seijuro in a year.
