After both the parents witenessed tofu's attraction and her habits about Xiaoming they always made sure that Ming comes and plays with tofu once everyday. There were even times that Mother Jiang had to rush to Mother Li's house because tofu wouldn't stop crying....
Soon tofu turned 3 years old and Ming turned 8 years old. Over this years Ming had made a habit to play with tofu every evening after he comes back from school and also to meet her and say goodbye to her before leaving for his school.
This year when Tofu turned three it was time to enroll her in preschool. Though every evening when Ming will eb studying she was used to watch him studying but ming also made sure to teach her some basics that will help her.
Because of Ming's teaching she was already thorough with alphabets and numbers. When she was told that she will be enrolled in school, she got super happy nad excited to go to school. Only if she knew that she will not be in the same school with her brother Ming.
Just a few days before tofu was about to start school she started to tell everyone that she will be going to school with brother ming and she will enjoy alot. Going to school with her brother ming also meant that she will be able to spend more time with her brother.
This sentences alarmed everyone in the family except ming. There was no doub about the attachment that tofu had with her brother ming, it was already observed by everyone when she was just three month old.
The biggest problem now was how did she get the idea that she will be going to school with xiaoming. The next problem was who would explain her that she and her brother are different in age and this will have to attend different classes.
When everyone present in the room started looking at Xiaoming, he simply looked at the eight eager eyes and simply said nonchalantly "Okay I will handle it"
In the evening when Ming was doing his study, as usual tofu was sitting on the bed with her picture book where she was colouring...Suddenly Ming asked her
"Who told you that you will go to school with me?"
Wondering why her ever so smart brother ming was asking her such a silly question, she innocintely answered:
"When tofu mom goes to supermarket and ming brother mom goes to supermarket they go together.
Why not tofu go to school , Brother ming go to school they both also go together."
when Ming heard tofu's explanation, he was at loss of words...
Everyone thought that she learnt about going together by someone but who would say that she herself thought that way.
Now she has to be explained the difference between supermarket and school.
"Tofu, supermarket and school are two different things. At supermarket you can go with anyone, but at school you only go with the people of same age group. " explained ming
"so, Tofu will not go with Brother ming?" asked tofu with teary eyes and a pouty face...
When ming nodded, tears started flowing from her eyes while she kept saying in between her sobs:
"I want to go with brother ming".....
"You can't go to school with me" tried to explain Ming while trying to stop her tears."Why?"asked tofu in her crying voice.Right now, tofu was sitting on ground and crying her eyes out, and her constant shaking of head has messed her hairs as well."I told you tofu, it is a place where you go with people of your age. I am bigger than you."Thinking for sometme, tofu spoke, "Then I will not go."Sitting down besides her Ming patiently explained her while combing her hairs with his tiny hands and fixing her appearance a little bit,"Tofu, you cannot always stay with me, or your parents, or even my parents. You have to go to school to learn, to study, to become a smart person.......Now, now before you ask why, let me tell you.... studying is important, it helps you become a better person. Do you want your brother ming to be ashamed because you did not study?Also if you go to school, you will make more friends. Like brother min
Guiding tofu to the class teacher Yu helped tofu sit on the seat and introduced another teacher who was teacher Song to tofu and left to fetch another students.Kindergarten is a place where children's learn alphabets, reading and writing simple words. Most important part of kindergarten is for children to develop the skills of team work and communication along with discipline. The kindergarten is divided into three parts: Junior, Middle and senior.Teacher Song greeted tofu and asked her to take a seat at any empty place where she likes.Greeting teacher Song tofu sat down besides another girl who was eating chocolate. She was a little girl with a fat face, big eyes and curled eyelashes. She was also wearing pink hairband having barbie on it similar to the one tofu was wearing.Sitting besides the girl, tofu kept her bag and said to the girl."Hello, my name is Jiang mian, you can also call me tofu.... But, I cannot be eaten.(P
Tofu was awaken by Teacher Yu while teacher Song was busy helping some other students pack their bags."Jiang Mian, get up. Its time to go home. Your parents might be waiting outside." came teacher Yu's voice."What happened?" asked tofu getting up dazed from her sleep."My hands and feet feel numb....Ahhhhh..."cried out tofu after getting her senses back.Before Teacher Yu could answer tofu's question barbie heard tofu's complaints and even she cried about her arms paining.Similarly other students also heard their cries and everyone had some or other body parts aching. Some felt their neck stiff while some had their arms in pain.Looking at all the children's complaining one after another teacher Song gave a pitiful look to teacher Yu and both started explaining children's.Because tofu and barbie started talking to each other, they were among the ones who were not crying.Looking at the two troublemaker's, happily chat
"You know, my son didn't cry while he was going""Oh that's good, my daughter, she cried till her eyes got swollen""Yes, children's don't like to go to kindergarten. My son was throwing tantrum the whole week.""I am also worried, what if my daughter doesn't want to go to kindergarten again"Father Jiang heard some parents talking and thought, 'would tofu also cried?If she doesn't want to go to school tomorrow?...That will be great... I can get her a personal tutor.Why to send my precious daughter at such a crowded place.'While father Jiang was thinking about the possible solutions to keep tofu at home and not send her among unknown people his little bundle of joy came running towards him with her arms stretched wide and dashed directly into his arms.Hugging her father and giggling tofu enclosed his neck with her small chubby hands and spoke, "Why are you here father?"Carrying tofu in his arms father Jiang st
Looking at her small baby sleeping in the car Mother Li was also stupefied. Not that it was something different but, it was surely unexpected. Tofu had been a very sensitive child and had always been unable to sleep in a unstable environment like car. Even a small voice would be enough for her to wake up from a deep sleep.Looking at Father Jiang she asked, "Brother Jiang, you are sure that she isn't playing a game right?"Father Jiang shook his head.Getting tofu out of the car by holding her in her arms carefully, without disturbing, Mother Li took her inside her room and adjusted her on her bed while covering her with a duvet.Mother Jiang was little anxious, "She already slept enough last night, and till today, she has never slept in the middle of the day."Tofu had always been a very active child and after growing up she slowly had her biological clock set in a way that she would only be able to fall asleep peacefully at night."I thoug
"You dont remember" Puzzled asked Ming."Yes, brother Ming, I don't remember. I only remember that we were woken up by teacher Yu before going." answered tofu innocently.After finishing his homework, Ming was about to lie down on the bed besides tofu when he saw tofu was already deeply asleep.Wondering, 'how could this be possible, she already slept enough last night, on top of that she also slept in her class, and then she also slept in the car, sleep till dinner. When I came she was already on the verge of dozing off and now again slept.I thought because she had slept, she would not be able to sleep for the night."thinking this ming also slept.Getting up early in the morning tofu was lying down lazily when Ming woke up with his alarm.Looking at tofu who was wide awake he asked, "When did you get up?""Morning brother Ming, I got up just few minutes ago.""Good morning." greeting tofu Ming left
In the evening, Ming came to check on tofu and found her sleeping as expected. Mother Li also spoke to him about what they found out fro other parents."It seems everyone is facing the same issue." said Ming while thinking about something."Xiaoming, why did you ask me to talk to other parents?" asked Mother Li unable to contain her curiosity."Nothing" speaking Ming went to his room and started doing homework.Looking at her son, mother Li murmured, "Will it hurt him to speak more than one or two words. Thank god I have tofu or else both this father and son would have made me mad.Sometimes I don't even feel like I have became a mother."In the office Father Li sneezed while thinking who would be remembering him.In the evening, similarly like yesterday, tofu got up during dinner time.Today, because ming had expected it, he was already present in her room along with some porridge for her ready to feed her as soon as she
Remembering something Ming ran down from the bed and went towards her bag. Removing something from it she came to ming and said, "Brother Ming close your eyes, I got a gift for you."Ming was already used to been gifted by tofu, since she liked to write alphabets and gift it to him, sometimes she will play with her toy and then give it to ming as a present.Turning towards her, ming closed his eyes.Stretching her hands towards her Brother Ming tofu presented the chocolate as if she was presenting her most precious treasure.Taking the chocolate from her hands ming asked her, "You are giving me a chocolate?"Before her brother ming could refuse the chocolate she quickly ran to the bed and drilled herself inside the duvet while speaking, "This is the chocolate that teacher Yu gave tofu yesterday and today. I got one extra for brother Ming."Looking at the chocolate ming smiled and thanked tofu which made tofu super hap
The same day,After the school,Tofu and Ming were going back home in their car when Mind noticed Tofu was unusually quiet."What happened?" He asked. Now that he was going to be responsible for her, he better start now.Not that it would make any difference. After all he had taken care of her from the day she was born, so much so that she would always see him at least once a day."Brother Ming…" Tofu called out with her eyes focused on the road, "can this road go slower."It took Ming a couple of minutes to find out what she wanted to say.It was toni

"Mom...Mom, why are you crying?" Tofu didn't knew what she said wrong. She just said her mother that she does not like staying alone.And right thne her mother started crying. She tried to pat her mother, trying to calm her down. yet with her height she was unable to even reac her mother's waist.Helpless she naturally turned to look at her father who was also secretely wiping his tears.'Why are mom and dad crying?'Tofu wondered. She racked her brains trying to think of why would they cry. Did she do something wrong?'Did I do bad in school test?''But my results are good.'Unable to come up with a suitable explanation for them crying their eyes out, Tofu turned to her all time saviour, "Brother Ming! Help me." She mouther Ming who was unaffected by everything and still eating his breakfast disregarding her.Elegantly wiping his lips Ming stood up from the chair, "Aunt, if you will cry infront of her what do you expect her to do whil
Looking at Ming who was completely calm even after her dad had mentioned something about last night, Tofu's eyebrows scrunched up. She wondered if Ming deliberately pretended not to hear anything or if he was not concerned at all. Mother Jiang noticed Tofu getting choked up on the smoothie and she quickly g
The night full of problems passed by quietly and smoothly after Ming spoke with Tofu one on one and made sure that she understood what he wanted her to do. Early in the morning, as the sun was rising, Ming
Hearing tofu's question, Ming’s eyebrows furrowed. His hand holding the door knob loosened up and hanged down parallel to his body.This was indeed a question that Ming didn't know how to answer.Tofu was right. He was the one who told her that curiosity is something that is bound to be fulfilled. And today, he was the one who scolded her ruthlessly, making her cry.Ming felt guilty on his behaviour.He raised his head to look at tofu who was staring at him with her wide, innocent, and bright eyes blinking constantly waiting for his answer. At present, tofu was sitting on the couch and her legs were dangling in air. She was biting her nails nervously while her other hand was clutching the hem of her night dress and her legs which were tiny and soft were dangling to and fro.Tofu thought she had again asked something that she was not suppo
Tofu quietly bowed her head down while tears started brimming in her eyes.This was the first time in her whole life that she was scolded by Ming so badly.
No matter how badly Tofu was scared, she still went ahead with her trembling legs towards the couch and sat down on it, in front of Ming, with her head bowed down while her eyes constantly grazing the floor. Her hands were also on her laps intertwined into each other showing how nervous she was.Looking at this scared cat sitting in front of him, Ming kept on won
After the long amount of time and after a long effort, Ming was finally able to relax and fall asleep.On the other hand, Tofu who was lying on her bed was just closing her eyes and waiting for Ming to fall asleep.
