年货大战丨把浓郁年味儿带回家

From January 7th to 8th, 2020, under the leadership of the teachers, the babies of Baston entered the Carrefour supermarket and felt a happy and beautiful New Year atmosphere. Happily buying new year’s goods, I watched them in their uniforms, with excitement and happiness, to bring home gifts for the New Year.

As soon as they entered the supermarket, a strong Chinese New Year atmosphere loomed. As the year closes, red couplets, golden can-can’s blessings, festive red lanterns, and exquisitely beautiful window grilles have been put on shelves in the supermarket. Such a festive atmosphere as far as the eye could see.

外教老师将孩子们聚集到一起，耐心地为大家讲解每一款年货的标签内容，并教大家怎么购买和挑选年货。宝宝们仰着小脑袋听得格外认真，对于自己一会儿要买什么东西，也都有了各自的小算盘。

Foreign teachers gathered the children together, patiently explained the label content of each new year’s goods, and taught everyone how to buy and choose new year’s goods. The babies listened listened very carefully. They also had their own abacus about what to buy in a while.

有的孩子一下就看中了精美的窗花，想要买回家里贴在窗户上，让家里一派红红火火；有的小朋友则站在金灿灿的贺卡架前精挑细选，准备把自己的新年祝福写在贺卡上，送给爸爸妈妈和小伙伴。还有的培基宝宝被小老鼠形状的挂件和玩具所吸引，打算用它们点缀自己的卧室……

Some children fancy exquisite windowpanes at once, they want to buy them and stick them on the windows to make the family stand out; some children stand in front of greeting card rack and choose carefully to prepare their new year Blessings written on greeting cards and given to moms and dads and friends. Some children are attracted by mouse-shaped pendants and toys, and plan to use them to decorate their bedrooms …

原来，每一件新春年货的背后，都有深厚的文化寓意：胖乎乎的小鱼，寓意着年年有余；巧妙精致的中国结，寓意着团圆美满；圆滚滚的小灯笼，寓意着喜庆吉祥……

It turns out that behind each New Year’s goods, there are deep cultural meanings: chubby little fish, which means more than a year; clever and delicate Chinese knot, which means reunion and perfection; the small round lantern, which means festivities …

孩子们听完讲解，纷纷发出赞叹：“老师，这些都好漂亮！”“老师，我想要这个小鱼！”“老师，我喜欢这个中国结！”“老师，看我选的这串灯笼好看吗？”大家个个情绪高涨，对每一样年货都爱不释手，开心地摸摸这、瞧瞧那，推着购物车在货架间快乐的呼朋引伴，让大家一起来参谋。

After listening to the explanations, the children uttered praises: “Teacher, these are so beautiful!” “Teacher, I want this little fish!” “Teacher, I like this Chinese knot!” “Teacher, it looks good on the lanterns I have chosen.” Everyone’s emotions were soaring, they love each others new year’s goods, happily touching this, looking at that, and pushing the shopping cart to happily hug friends on the shelves, and everyone coming together as staff.

最后，每个孩子都选出了最满意的年货，推着购物车来到了收银台。放商品、装袋子、付款……按照老师教过的结算顺序，大家每个步骤都从容不迫，俨然是一个个动手能力强、计算能力棒的小大人呢！连收银员阿姨，都夸奖大家聪明伶俐呢。

In the end, each child chose the most satisfactory New Year’s gift and pushed the shopping cart to the cash register. Put products, pack bags, and proceeded to pay … in an order that had been  taught by the teacher, every step was easy, everyone seemed to be a small adult had strong hands-on ability and great calculation ability! Even the cashier aunt praised everyone for being smart.

有的小朋友用来买年货的钱，是通过在家里帮父母做家务的方式赚来的。这样一来，宝宝们既体会到了劳动的快乐和赚钱的不易；也对金钱有了更多的概念，深刻地认识到节约的重要意义。同时和父母的互动也变得更加亲密，留下了更多美好的回忆。

The money used by some children to buy New Year’s products was made by helping their parents with household chores at home. In this way, the kids not only realized the joy of labor and the difficulty of making money; they also had more concepts about money and deeply realized the importance of saving. At the same time, the interaction with parents has become more intimate, leaving more beautiful memories.

一番大采购结束后，每个培基宝宝都开开心心地满载而归啦！结好账后合个影，纪念一下这次购物的丰硕战果~

After some big purchases, every Baston kid was happy and full of joy! They proceeded to take a picture after they settled their account to commemorate the fruitful results of the shopping.
