Chapter 246 Successful Trial
The next day, Su Mo and the two children sent Lu Xiaolan to the nursery to register.
The person in charge of the nursery was a lady who looked to be in her 30s or 40s. Her surname was Huo and she was very kind. Sister Huo introduced the situation of the nursery to Lu Xiaolan and took her on a tour.
Su Mo took the opportunity to take a tour with her two children. After all, the two children would spend most of their time here in the next few years.
The nursery is a bungalow with a separate yard. There are swings, wooden horses and other facilities suitable for children to play in the yard. There are more than 80 children at present, divided into three classes according to age: large, medium and small. The vacancy that Lu Xiaolan filled happened to be in the small class.
Actually, the person who was transferred away before was from the middle class, so a teacher from the small class filled that vacancy and vacated the small class.
The children in the small class are small, and it is common for them to wet their pants. The teachers in the small class have the hardest job.
There was no kindergarten at that time. The children in the nursery were basically between 1 and 4 years old. They were sent here because their parents had to work and there was no one to take care of them. Those
over 4 years old basically could play by themselves, so they were not sent there.
After all, the cost is not low. Every month, in addition to the 3 yuan childcare fee, you have to pay 3 yuan for lunch. This child costs 6 yuan a month. If there are many children, it is not affordable.
After the visit, Lu Xiaolan went to work, and Su Mo took the two children back.
After arriving home, Su Mo asked the two little ones, "What do you think of that place? Mom will go to work in two days. I will send you there to play with other children, okay?"
An An nodded, "No problem with me."
In fact, she wanted to stay alone, but her mother said that she should not be too independent, so she went.
She has adapted to being a child now. It is very easy. She doesn't have to worry about anything because someone has arranged everything for her. She just enjoys it and doesn't have to be vigilant against someone who might harm her.
Maybe it's not bad to live an ordinary life like this.
Lele shook her head, "With mom."
"Lele, mom has to go to work and can't take care of the children. Mom has to make money to buy you delicious food."
Lele still shook her head, "No, dad makes money."
"Aunt is there too, and sister will go too. There are a lot of children there, it's fun."
Lele was still not happy, pouting, and was about to make a scene, when An An said, "Go."
Lele had to pout and said aggrievedly, "Go."
Su Mo smiled and coaxed, "Don't be afraid, sister will protect you. Right, An An?"
An An nodded.
After talking to the two children, Su Mo took the two children to school by tram.
Today happened to be Sunday. She made an appointment with Mo Yurong the day before yesterday to go shopping in the department store today.
Arriving at the department store, the two elders went straight to the ready-made clothing area, preparing to buy some clothes for their daughter to wear to work. Working in this foreign trade center often requires receiving foreign guests, so she has to dress decently.
Su Mo was hesitant. Many of the clothes that the original owner brought were of good styles and very new. She had no chance to wear them in Lujia Village. She would wait until those were worn out.
The two elders saw that their daughter's words made sense, so they did not insist. Before, their daughter's clothes were all bought at Friendship Store, and the styles were indeed better than those in the department store.
Su Mo did not buy any for herself, but bought a new set for each of the two elders.
"Momo, your father and I have enough clothes to wear, there is no need to buy more." Mo Yurong did not want it. With two children to raise, they had to spend money everywhere, and now they could not go back to Haishi.
"You can buy more clothes if you have enough to wear. I haven't bought any clothes for you yet." The clothes made of coarse cloth in the cowshed before don't count.
Mo Yurong wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Su Tingqian, "The daughter is filial, just let her buy it."
After shopping in the department store, they went to the market to buy some meat and vegetables, and then returned to the family compound.
"Mom and Dad, you can come here to rest in the future. There is still an empty room here, which can be lived in." Su Mo said.
Dad and Mom eat in the cafeteria every day, and the big pot of food is definitely not as nutritious as what they cook themselves. She can make delicious food for them every weekend.
After returning home, Su Mo cooked egg noodles and the few people had a simple lunch. Afterwards, Su Mo stewed the chicken she bought on the coal stove and added several slices of wild ginseng.
She had thought of giving her parents a piece of wild ginseng before, but since they don't cook, she just cooked for them here.
After the children woke up from their nap, the three of them took the two children to the management office to ask if they could send them to a nursery.
Originally, the minimum age for the nursery was one year old, but Director Song of the management office saw that the two children were so well-behaved, could already walk, and had no problem with simple communication. He also learned that the children's aunt worked in the nursery, so he agreed to arrange it for them first.
"Comrade Su, let's make a deal first. I will do it for you first, but whether the child can go to school needs to be evaluated by the teacher. You send the child there first. If the teacher feels that he can't take care of the child, then you have to take the child back, and I will return the money to you."
"Okay, no problem. Thank you, Director Song." Su Mo handed over the money quickly. The two children agreed and would not make trouble.
In the evening, Lu Xiaolan came back from work with an excited look on her face, "Third sister-in-law, I did it. Teacher Huo told me to go to work on the 1st."
"I knew you could do it. I've already bought some delicious food today and I'm waiting for you to come back to celebrate." Su Mo said with a smile.
Lu Xiaolan was a little embarrassed, her eyes suddenly turned red, she came over and hugged Su Mo, "Third sister-in-law, thank you so much."
"Why thank me, I have already completed the procedures to send the two children to the nursery, you will have to take care of them in the future."
"No problem, third sister-in-law, I will definitely keep a close eye on them." Lu Xiaolan smiled.
After dinner, Lu Changzheng borrowed a car again and sent Su Tingqian and his wife back to school. He also went to the kitchen to heat bath water for the two elders when there were many people at night.
He heard from his wife that someone seemed to be taking advantage of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, so he came over to shock them.
Lu Changzheng is tall and now tanned, with a cold face, he is indeed quite intimidating.
Some of the aunts who were willing to help others were a little nervous when they saw that the son-in-law looked difficult to deal with. They should not take firewood from the Su family from now on, or else the son-in-law would come knocking on their door. The few people in the family would probably not be able to beat him with a punch.
The next day, Lu Xiaolan went to work half a day again. In the afternoon, Teacher Huo asked her to go back and take a rest to prepare for work tomorrow.
After work, Lu Xiaolan ran to the post office and called home.
It was the busy time for spring planting in Lujia Village. Li Yue'e heard the team broadcast that Xiaolan called and asked her to go back to answer the phone. Her heart skipped a beat. She called in the middle of the afternoon. Maybe something had happened. She quickly washed her hands and feet and ran to the team headquarters.
When Lu Xiaolan called again, Li Yue'e had already thought of hundreds of things in her mind. As soon as the call was connected, she asked, "Xiaolan, did something happen?"
"Mom, nothing happened. There's something happy."
"Is your third sister-in-law pregnant again?"
Lu Xiaolan chuckled, "No, I have a job again. My third brother and his wife arranged a place for me in a nursery here, and the salary is 30 yuan a month."
"Mom, I will send ten yuan home every month in the future. You and Dad don't save it."
Lu Xiaolan had thought it through. Of the thirty yuan salary, she would send ten yuan home, give ten yuan to her third sister-in-law for food expenses, and keep the remaining ten yuan for herself to buy something occasionally.
Li Yue'e waved her hands and said, "Don't send money home. You have many things to spend money on in the city. Keep it for yourself. Now that you have a job, you should pay your third sister-in-law for living expenses. Don't rely on them for everything."
"Mom, I know."
"Don't send money home. Your father has a salary. Your father and I saved the money you left last time." Phone bills are expensive, so Li Yue'e always speaks very fast.
Lu Xiaolan left two hundred yuan for Li Yue'e and the others out of the four hundred yuan she earned from selling her job. They refused to take the money, so when Lu Xiaolan left, she stuffed it under her pillow. Li Yue'e found it after she returned.
"Your third brother and his wife are very kind to you. You should remember that and take care of yourself."
"I know."
"Of course, you have to think about yourself and save some money." Li Yue'e was really happy for her daughter, but it would be expensive to say too much.
"Yeah." Lu Xiaolan nodded.
"I won't say anything else. I'll go back and ask your father to write to you tonight. You should also write back often. Phone calls are too expensive." "
Okay, I'll write to you when I get back." Lu Xiaolan said.
She was also very happy in her heart and couldn't wait to tell her parents the news, so she rushed over to make the call. Since she had already told them, she would write a letter to talk about other things.
