曦曦的学期大作业终于来了！
Xixi’s semester homework is finally here!
春田幼儿园虽然不像学校一样，给孩子们安排考试，可是这个学期也是给即将要升入大班、有一定的动手学习能力的小朋友们布置了一个大作业。
Although Springfield Kindergarten does not arrange exams for children like schools, this semester is also a big assignment for children who are about to be promoted to large classes and have certain hands-on learning ability.
这个事情，在前些时候的家长会上，穆老师便有跟家长们交代过。
Mr. Mu explained this matter to the parents at the parent-teacher meeting some time ago.
今天，曦曦从幼儿园放学回家，书包里便装着一张跟任务卡差不多的作业卡。
Today, Xixi came home from kindergarten with a homework card similar to a task card in her schoolbag.
墨菲接过去，看着念道：“杨曦……小朋友，请你在父母的指导和帮助下，完成观察小鱼生长的任务，任务周期为一个月，请细心照顾好小鱼，同时对小鱼的生长情况做好记录，并最终灵活地利用多种形式，制作出任务结果报告。”
Murphy took it over, looked at it and said, “Yang Xi… children, please complete the task of observing the growth of the little fish under the guidance and help of your parents. The task period is one month. Please take good care of the little fish. , and record the growth of the small fish, and finally use various forms flexibly to produce a task result report.”
曦曦在一边撑着沙发一跳一跳的，好像还害怕妈妈看不懂，关切地说道：“麻麻，老师说，我们要养小鱼。”
Xixi was jumping on the sofa, as if she was afraid that her mother would not understand, and said with concern: “Mama, the teacher said, we want to raise small fish.”
杨轶摸了摸下巴，疑惑地说道：“这算是做研究吗？应该是大学或者上了中学之后的课程吧？为什么幼儿园就开始让孩子做这些？”
Yang Yi touched his chin, and said doubtfully, “Is this a research? It should be a course after college or middle school, right? Why does kindergarten start letting children do this?”
墨菲展颜一笑，向杨轶翻过来卡纸，说道：“很正常啊，这个只是小研究，你看作业卡上都没有什么特别的要求，所以它是一个开放性的作业，而主要的目的，也是激发孩子们对新鲜事物的兴趣，培养他们自己动手研究的能力。”
Murphy smiled, turned the card over to Yang Yi, and said, “It’s normal, this is just a small study, you can see that there are no special requirements on the assignment card, so it is an open assignment, The main purpose is to stimulate children’s interest in new things and cultivate their ability to do research by themselves.”
杨轶有些无奈地说道：“曦曦才不到五岁，她能有什么自己动手研究的能力？你看这个任务结果报告，曦曦连字都不会写，她怎么写报告？”
Yang Yi said helplessly: “Xixi is only under five years old, what ability does she have to do research on her own? Look at the report on the results of this task, Xixi can’t even write a word, how can she write a report? “
曦曦眨着大眼睛听着爸爸妈妈的对话，这会儿，小姑娘不服气地嘟起小嘴巴，说道：“粑粑，我会写字，我会写我的名字呢！”
Xixi blinked her big eyes and listened to her parents’ conversation. At this moment, the little girl pouted her mouth in dissatisfaction and said, “Baba, I can write, I can write my name!”
“好吧，但除了你自己的名字以外，别的字你就不会写了啊！这样一来，岂不是到最后这个作业得你妈妈和爸爸我来做？”杨轶有些不解地说道。
“Okay, but you won’t be able to write any other words except your own name! So, wouldn’t it be up to your mother and father to do the final homework?” Yang Yi was a little confused. said clearly.
“报告不一定完全是文字嘛！”墨菲耐心地跟杨轶解释道，“老师不是说，可以用多种形式来完成报告吗？还可以拍照、录音、录视频等等。”
“The report doesn’t have to be all text!” Murphy explained patiently to Yang Yi, “Didn’t the teacher say that the report can be completed in various forms? You can also take pictures, record audio, record videos, etc.”
“当然，这个报告肯定是要家长的参与，就好像养鱼一样，没有你指导，曦曦怎么可能会养鱼？但这都是一个学习的过程，让她在这一个月坚持做好对小鱼的照顾、观察，以及做记录等等。”墨菲笑道，“即便最后成果不理想，报告做得比较糟糕，那也没关系，重要的是这个过程，曦曦肯定可以学会很多东西，也会成长许多。”
“Of course, this report definitely requires the participation of parents. It’s like raising fish. Without your guidance, how could Xixi be able to raise fish? But it’s all a learning process, so let her stick to it this month. Take good care of Xiaoyu, observe, record, etc.” Murphy smiled, “Even if the final result is not ideal and the report is bad, it doesn’t matter, the important thing is this process, Xixi can definitely learn a lot. Things will grow a lot.”
墨菲小时候接受的是米国式的教育，那不像国内的应试教育——为了让孩子考试能出成绩，平时布置很多繁琐的作业，给孩子们肩膀上压上了沉甸甸的习题大山。
Murphy received an American-style education when he was a child, which is not like the domestic exam-oriented education-in order to allow children to score in the exam, he usually assigns a lot of tedious homework, which puts a heavy load of exercises on the children’s shoulders. .
以前墨菲也做过许多跟曦曦一样，需要自己去动手、去研究的作业，不得不说，虽然不是所有的研究她都喜欢，可是毕竟给她带来了许多有趣的记忆，所以她对这样的教学方式还是很认可的。
In the past, Murphy had done a lot of homework like Xixi, which required her own hands-on and research. I have to say that although not all the research she liked, it brought her a lot of interesting memories after all. Therefore, she still recognizes this teaching method.
春田幼儿园就是一个中西式教育相结合的幼儿园，墨菲和杨轶当初的选择并没有错。
Springfield Kindergarten is a kindergarten that combines Chinese and Western education. Murphy and Yang Yi’s choice was not wrong.
“你说的没错，在玩中学习！”杨轶被墨菲的分析给说服了，他点了点头，开始琢磨要不要教曦曦学会用相机等器材，可以给曦曦买一个不是很笨重的傻瓜式卡片相机。
“You’re right, learn while playing!” Yang Yi was persuaded by Murphy’s analysis, he nodded, and began to wonder if he should teach Xixi how to use cameras and other equipment, which he could buy for Xixi A point-and-shoot camera that isn’t very bulky.
既然是曦曦的任务，最好还是尽可能地让曦曦完成她力所能及的事情。
Since it’s Xixi’s task, it’s best to let Xixi do what she can do as much as possible.
曦曦看到爸爸妈妈讨论完了，她拉了拉爸爸的手，疑惑地问道：“粑粑，可是，可是我们没有小鱼呀！”
Xixi saw that her father and mother had finished discussing, she took her father’s hand and asked suspiciously: “Baba, but we don’t have any little fish!”
杨轶拍了拍曦曦的小脑袋，微微一笑，说道：“要小鱼很简单啊！明天爸爸去花鸟市场给你买，等你明天上幼儿园回来，就可以看到小鱼了。”
Yang Yi patted Xixi’s little head, smiled slightly, and said, “It’s very easy to ask for a little fish! Tomorrow, Dad will go to the flower and bird market to buy it for you, and when you come back from kindergarten tomorrow, you can see the little fish. .”
“真的呀！”曦曦喜不自胜地看着爸爸。
“Really!” Xixi looked at her father with joy.
……
…
第二天，从幼儿园回来的路上，坐在后座上的曦曦和兰馨正在叽叽喳喳地说着话：“馨儿，你要不要来我们家看小鱼鱼？我粑粑给我买了小鱼鱼！”
The next day, on the way back from kindergarten, Xixi and Lan Xin, who were sitting in the back seat, were chatting: “Xiner, do you want to come to our house to see Xiaoyuyu? I’ll give it to me. I bought a little fish!”
兰馨是有司机接她回家的，但是她喜欢跟曦曦一起玩，所以“残忍”地拒绝了自己司机，硬是要坐杨轶叔叔开的悍虎越野车。以前不行，但现在因为大家都住在一个别墅区，杨轶可以顺便将她送回家，而且杨轶跟兰州凯的关系那么好，司机请示了一番老板之后，只好将自己车上的儿童安全座椅拆下来，装到杨轶的车上。
Lan Xin had a driver to pick her up home, but she liked to play with Xixi, so she “brutally” rejected her driver and insisted on taking the Tiger off-road vehicle driven by Uncle Yang Yi. It didn’t work before, but now because everyone lives in a villa area, Yang Yi can send her home by the way, and Yang Yi’s relationship with Lanzhou Kai is so good, the driver has to ask the boss for some instructions, and has no choice but to take the children in his car. The safety seat was removed and installed on Yang Yi’s car.
“我才不要看你们家的小鱼鱼。我们家也有，昨天邬奶奶说会给我买小鱼鱼。”兰馨嚷嚷道。
“I don’t want to look at your little fish. Ours also has them. Yesterday, Grandma Wu said she would buy me little fish.” Lan Xin shouted.
邬奶奶是兰馨家的保姆，也是一个厨艺很好的厨师。
Grandma Wu is the nanny of Lan Xin’s family and a very good cook.
“那好吧……”曦曦有点遗憾，但她的心早就飞回了家里，盼着要看到自己的小鱼鱼。
“Okay then…” Xixi was a little regretful, but her heart had already flown back home, looking forward to seeing her little fish.
送兰馨到她家别墅，曦曦终于也回到了自己的家。
Send Lan Xin to her villa, and Xixi finally returned to her home.
“麻麻，我回来了！”背着小书包的小姑娘下车之后，便带着摇着尾巴、很欢腾的包子，高兴地一路小跑，还没脱下鞋，便迫不及待地探着小脑袋往里边望着。
“Mama, I’m back!” After the little girl with a small schoolbag got out of the car, she jogged happily with her tail-wagging, jubilant bun, and before she took off her shoes, she couldn’t wait to explore Looking inside with a small head.
墨菲正坐在沙发上，手肘支撑在膝盖上，望着茶几上一个漂亮的鱼缸，听到动静，便盈盈一笑，向女儿招了招手：“曦曦，过来，看看这是什么。”
Murphy was sitting on the sofa, with his elbows on his knees, looking at a beautiful fish tank on the coffee table, when he heard the movement, he smiled and beckoned to his daughter: “Xixi, come here, look at this what.”
曦曦书包都忘记脱下，她欢喜地挤在妈妈的怀里，一起看着茶几上的鱼缸。
Xixi forgot to take off her schoolbag. She squeezed happily into her mother’s arms and looked at the fish tank on the coffee table together.
鱼缸里有四尾小金鱼在优哉游哉地游着，真的很小，就是金鱼的幼苗。不过，虽然小，但每条小金鱼都长得不一样，有金色的，有红色的，还有红色白斑的，跟白色红斑的。
There are four small goldfish swimming around in the fish tank, they are really small, they are the seedlings of goldfish. However, although small, each small goldfish looks different, some are golden, some are red, some are red and white, and some are white and red.
不能只买一条，杨轶担心曦曦会把金鱼养死了，多买几条，起码还有备胎……
You can’t just buy one, Yang Yi is worried that Xixi will keep the goldfish dead, so buy a few more, at least there are spare tires…
“好漂亮呀！”曦曦大眼睛有些迷离地看着这四条小金鱼，喃喃道。
“It’s so beautiful!” Xixi murmured as she looked at the four little goldfish with her big eyes a little blurry.
“麻麻为了给小金鱼一个很好的环境，可是跟粑粑花了很长时间搭这个鱼缸哦！以前它们是住在一个很丑的塑料小盒子里~IndoMTL.com~墨菲笑着跟曦曦说道。
“Mama and Baba spent a long time building this fish tank in order to provide a good environment for the little goldfish! They used to live in an ugly plastic box~IndoMTL.com~Murphy laughs Then talk to Xixi.
这个大鱼缸和里面的材料都是杨轶买回来的，但要自己DIY，所以这两个闲着没事干的夫妻就摆弄了半天鱼缸，用龙骨石堆成小假山，还有一些假的小水草。
This big fish tank and the materials inside were bought by Yang Yi, but they had to DIY it themselves, so the two couples who had nothing to do fiddled with the fish tank for a long time, made small rockeries with keel stones, and some Fake small water plants.
只是单纯地造景，并非想弄出一个生态鱼缸。他们毕竟不是养金鱼的狂热爱好者，所以也没有想弄得太复杂。
It’s just landscaping, not an ecological fish tank. After all, they are not fanatics of keeping goldfish, so they did not want to make it too complicated.
但看上去还不错，小金鱼在假山、假水草中间游来游去，好不惬意的样子。
But it looks pretty good. The little goldfish swims around among the rockery and the fake aquatic plants. It looks very comfortable.
杨轶走进来，正好听到曦曦跟妈妈说道：“小鱼鱼好看，然后，然后这个大鱼缸也好看。”
Yang Yi walked in, just in time to hear Xixi say to her mother: “The little fish is good-looking, and then the big fish tank is also good-looking.”
小姑娘还转过身子，一边比划着，一边有些不好意思地嘻嘻道：“麻麻，我以为小鱼鱼要住在我们家游泳池里呢！那里有好大好大的水！”
The little girl also turned around, gesturing and giggling with embarrassment: “Mama, I thought Xiao Yuyu was going to live in our swimming pool! There’s a lot of water there!”
“就这么一丁点大小的鱼，住在游泳池里，你怎么找得到它们观察？”杨轶莞尔一笑。
“It’s just such a tiny fish, living in a swimming pool, how can you find them to observe?” Yang Yi smiled.
晚上，就在曦曦乐此不疲地看着小金鱼的时候，兰州凯打了电话过来。
At night, when Xixi was watching the little goldfish happily, Lanzhou Kai called.
