Lu Yan left early in the morning without waking her up. Last night, Lu Yan made a lot of steamed bread and froze it in the freezer for her. Qin Rou was in a low mood and did not stop him from making steamed bread. She even took out a pack of milk powder she bought for the children and said she wanted to add sugar and milk powder.

Apart from anything else, the steamed bread made by Lu Yan was really delicious. At first, it seemed tasteless, but as she ate it, she found that it was really good.

Qin Rou had never eaten such a steamed bun before. The steamed buns she had eaten were relatively fluffy, and could be pressed hard to be very hard. They tasted sweet. People didn't like ordinary white steamed buns, and preferred coarse grain steamed buns, corn flower steamed buns, etc., and rarely saw large white steamed buns.

Although the steamed buns made by Lu Yan were delicious, Qin Rou wanted to try what his sweet steamed buns were like.

At that time, Lu Yan frowned: "..."

Add sugar and milk powder... Can this steamed bun still be eaten?

——Of course it can be eaten! !

At Qin Rou's insistence, Lu Yan made her a few steamed buns with milk powder and sugar, not many, just five or six, because Lu Yan couldn't stand adding sugar to the buns.

It was scary just to think about it.

Qin Rou got up and heated up three steamed buns and a plate of salted vegetables, and called the kids over for breakfast. She cooked two extra eggs for the kids and made them a cup of malted milk.

It was a simple breakfast, and she couldn't be extravagant even if she wanted to.

Qin Rou ate the steamed buns and missed the rice noodles she had in Guangzhou. One day, she would make her own rice noodles at home! !

That is not the case now. Even the pickled vegetables on the table were given to Lu Yan by others when he first came to the family compound. There are few fresh vegetables now, so it is good to have some pickled vegetables.

But these pickled vegetables are really salty. There is nothing else but salty. To be honest, they are unpalatable, but people feel uncomfortable if they don’t eat something salty.

Qin Rou plans to find a fellow villager in a nearby village to buy some white radishes and make some sweet and sour appetizer diced radishes, or dried pickled radishes.

She wants to eat smacked cucumbers and sweet and sour cucumbers.

At this time, there is a shortage of food and clothing. Xia Mingxi and Chen Jingyi are not picky eaters. They eat whatever the adults give them. If they don’t eat, they will go hungry.

Xia Mingxi took the steamed bun and bit it, and made an unexpected discovery, "Aunt, is the steamed bun sweet?"

Chen Jingyi repeated, "Sweet?!"

Qin Rou: "... Wrong decision."

The sweet steamed bun with salted vegetables really tastes "weird". It's okay to eat it alone, but it's too greasy to eat more. It's better not to add sugar. Unfortunately, there is no sweeter condensed milk at the moment. If it is dipped in condensed milk, the sweet steamed bun will taste better.

Without condensed milk, it seems that it can be paired with jam?

But there is nothing in their house at the moment.

After breakfast, Qin Rou went to the chicken coop and picked up an egg. The feeling of surprise is really hard to describe. It is worthy of the egg-laying chicken she bought at a high price. It's really precious!

In the future, we should raise at least four or five hens at home. They lay an egg every day, and we don't need to exchange them. We can just eat them at home.

The gender of the other chicks cannot be distinguished yet. Qin Rou secretly prays that they are all hens, all hens, and all hens...

Tsk, this is the feeling of waiting for a prize.

After feeding the chickens, Qin Rou plans to send the two cubs to kindergarten together. There is a large kindergarten near the base. Not only the children in the base, but also the children of the cadres of the nearby farms are sent to this kindergarten.

Since the 1950s and 1960s, kindergartens have blossomed everywhere in China, mainly to liberate women's labor. Most units have their own employee kindergartens.

Qin Rou said to the two kids, "I'll send you two to kindergarten today."

"Are you happy?"

Xia Mingxi and Chen Jingyi had never been to kindergarten before. As a kindergarten teacher, Qin Rou had seen many "spectacular" scenes of kids going to kindergarten for the first time. The younger ones would cry and ask for mom and dad as soon as they went to kindergarten.

It was unknown how the two kids would react.

"Happy!" The little fat boy raised his hands and jumped up, very happy, as if he couldn't wait to go to kindergarten.

Chen Jingyi: "..."

Qin Rou pinched the little fat boy's face, thinking that this little fat boy was really an optimist. Going to kindergarten to make new friends was probably like returning to his happy hometown.

This little optimist.

The little fat boy who loves to smile will not have too bad luck.

Qin Rou heard about the life story of this little fat boy from Lu Yan. The little fat boy was the child of his third sister, and his third brother-in-law was no longer with him. The little fat boy's father was also a navy and had served in the South China Sea, so he sent the little guy to visit. The

third brother-in-law's family hated their relatives. Someone in the family was celebrating his birthday, and they insisted that he go back. If he didn't go back, it would be a bad time and would ruin his family's fortune... Later, he encountered a mountain accident on the way.

The Lu family also stopped communicating with his family, and the little fat boy has been raised by the Lu family.

Qin Rou sighed in her heart. It was not easy.

"Auntie, you, send him off." Chen Jingyi pulled Qin Rou's trouser leg and whispered.

Qin Rou looked down and found that the little guy was holding a colored pencil painting and said he wanted to give it to her. There were three people drawn crookedly on the painting. One was Lu Yan hammering, one was Qin Rou smiling, and there was a little fat boy holding a chicken's tail. There were also three coconut trees inserted on the side.

Although the painting was very childish, it was also quite vivid. Qin Rou was a little surprised and praised: "Our little Jingyi draws really well. Auntie will put it on the wall for you when you come back."

"I have to take it to kindergarten!!!" The fat boy beside her hurriedly said.

Qin Rou: "..."

She looked at herself in the painting, a rather abstract woman, with a row of teeth when she smiled...

Children's paintings are all like this, so take it.

——I always have a bad premonition.

The two children could take the family compound’s car, while Qin Rou followed behind on her bicycle. It was her first time to send the children to kindergarten, so she had to go to the kindergarten to take a look. Fortunately, it was not too far away, and it only took about ten minutes to get there.

She had never seen a kindergarten in the 1970s with her own eyes!

After arriving, she found that the kindergarten was no different from an ordinary school at that time. The school was just a playground, classrooms and cafeteria. Qin Rou parked the car outside and followed them into the iron gate.

Before she went in, she heard the loud speaker on the playground playing:

"Little pine tree, grow up quickly! Green leaves, new branches..."

"Little friend, grow up quickly! Like a pine tree, sprout new buds..."

The rhythm is catchy, and this song plays in my head, looping over and over again. Qin Rou is really familiar with this song.

The buildings here are not high, they are all two-story townhouses. The kindergarten is divided into several classes, all divided by age. There are also many older children in this small kindergarten. Six to seven years old go to class five, five to six years old go to class four, four to five years old go to class three, three to four years old go to class two, two to three years old go to class one, and there is also a small class for one and two years old.

Qin Rou sent her child to Class 3. She met the teacher, a young woman with a ponytail, dark skin, delicate features, a small nose and small eyes. She was coaxing the children. There were already more than ten children.

"Be good, don't cry." The teacher's surname was Zhou. At this time, she was listening to the crying children, and her tone was already a little impatient.

Qin Rou observed the classroom. It was very simple. In addition to the tables, chairs and benches, there were some crooked stickers and pictures and quotes from celebrities on the wall.

When Zhou Yuhua looked up and saw Qin Rou, she was stunned. After learning that she was the parent who sent two children here, she immediately smiled apologetically at her, "Can you help me watch the children for a while? I have something to do there."

"Help me coax the children. These children are very easy to coax."

Qin Rou nodded. When Zhou Yuhua saw that she agreed, she immediately put down the crying children and turned to go out.

She ran up to the second floor and hid in the corner and laughed. A familiar teacher saw her and immediately shook her head, "Are you playing a trick on me again?"

Zhou Yuhua likes to tease some young and beautiful female parents. She deliberately walks away and leaves a bunch of children to her, making these young female parents at a loss. When

a group of children make a fuss, no one can stand it and can only be laughed at.

Let her know the hardship of taking care of a bunch of children.

Zhou Yuhua didn't like being a kindergarten teacher at all. She originally wanted to be a primary school teacher, but she didn't pass the exam, so she could only be a kindergarten teacher. Being a kindergarten teacher is too hard. She has to take care of the children's eating, drinking, defecating and urinating. She is exhausted every day and has to coax a bunch of troublesome children.

Zhou Yuhua covered her mouth and laughed for a few times. The female family member she just met looked delicate and tender. She must have never taken care of children. She must have been crying because of the children. She

deserved it. Who made her look so seductive and seducing? It must be the family member who followed her.

Zhou Yuhua envied these families. The husband had a high salary and could support the whole family. The wife only needed to take care of the children, do housework and manage the family, and she would not have to worry about food and clothing.

She also wanted to marry a military officer, and a navy officer at that, but she couldn't find one. A small number of these relatives were young and beautiful, had jobs, were teachers and nurses, and most of them were local wives brought from their hometowns.

Zhou Yuhua felt that she was not as good as those young and beautiful ones, but she was much better than the local wives in the countryside, and had a job, but it was a pity that the men were blind and didn't like her.

"You still say she's a nephew, but maybe she's here to be a stepmother, or maybe she's someone's sister-in-law."

- She's here to seduce her brother-in-law.

Zhou Yuhua speculated and snorted in her heart.

But at this moment, she heard someone calling her from behind: "Zhou Yuhua, why are you here?!"

Zhou Yuhua turned around and was immediately startled: "Director."

The director Wu Min was a short woman with round glasses on her nose. Although she was short, she had a strong aura. She was transferred here to be the director in the past one or two years. In the past ten years, the kindergarten has developed rapidly and many problems have also emerged. Before

Wu Min was transferred, she visited and investigated kindergartens of many government agencies and state-owned enterprises. This time she was transferred to Lucheng to be the director of the kindergarten. She was determined to reform.

Children are the flowers of the motherland, and early childhood education must not be ignored.

The younger the children are, the more responsibility and patience teachers are required to have.

"You are so irresponsible!" Wu Min stared at Zhou Yuhua. Zhou Yuhua was her main focus. She had already found Zhou Yuhua deliberately neglecting her children several times. She also liked to tease the beautiful female parent...

"If something happens to the child, I want to see what you will do! Come back to your class with me..."

Zhou Yuhua had been scolded by her countless times. She felt that this old woman was just picking on her and didn't take Wu Min's words to heart at all.

In her opinion, what do three or four-year-old children know? Children of this age in rural areas are all raised in the mountains, and they are not all kept alive. The older ones take care of the younger ones, and they don't need to be taken care of by their parents. Why do they need to go to kindergarten? How big of a problem can it be?

Zhou Yuhua followed Wu Min to the third shift. She was muttering to herself as she walked to the door of the third shift. She thought that those seductive women, who were beautiful and used to coaxing men, could not handle these children. If they showed their ugly faces in front of the children, they would be laughed at by her.

She originally thought that she would hear the crying of children and the scolding and impatient voices of women, but she did not expect that the third shift of the kindergarten was particularly quiet today. The quietness made her a little scared.

Wu Min raised her eyebrows and followed her in. Just in time, she saw that the children were sitting obediently on two rows of small benches. A beautiful young woman was sitting in the front. The woman clapped her hands, and the little guys all sang in unison: "Little pine tree, grow up quickly..."

After singing, the children listened to the woman talking to them happily.

"I want to raise my hand, Sister Qin, look at how I sit!"

"We are all good and obedient children!"

"Sister Qin, you can be our teacher!!"

...

"This is my aunt!!!"

Qin Rou turned around and saw the head teacher Wu Min. When Wu Min saw her, her eyes lit up immediately, "You taught the children to sing just now very well. Everyone's attention was on you. How did you do it?"

Wu Min saw the way she talked to the children just now, her expression, her tone, and thought that this was right.

Her voice was crisp and pleasant, and the rhythm of her tone was particularly beautiful, just as beautiful as singing, making people unconsciously fascinated.

"You used to be a teacher, didn't you? An elementary school teacher?"

Qin Rou smiled and shook her head: "No, I used to sing in the art troupe."

"Oh!" The headmaster exclaimed in surprise, and said with emotion: "I think you are born to be a teacher in our kindergarten!"

Qin Rou: "..." No, it was acquired.

After knowing that Qin Rou was a new family in the neighborhood, headmaster Wu Min immediately invited her to be a teacher in the kindergarten.

"There are few people who are suitable to be teachers. We are in need of teachers. You have good qualifications. Children can get along with you. To be a kindergarten teacher, you need to have your affinity."

Qin Rou hesitated and said that she would think about it.

- Did she really want to be a kindergarten teacher in the 1970s?

After she followed the army to Qiongzhou Island, she had several options. They could help her connect with local cultural and artistic organizations, join the Lucheng local song and dance troupe as a singer, or switch to being a primary school teacher. In addition, there were health nurses. Qin Rou had studied for a few years and was quite educated. In the eyes of outsiders, it would not be difficult for her to change to studying nursing.

Qin Rou's sister married an intellectual family. In the first two years, her brother-in-law was keen on helping people to eliminate illiteracy, which forced her to study for a few years.

But now, my brother-in-law's books have been thrown into the manure pit, and no one attaches importance to learning.

Seeing that she did not agree, the head teacher Wu Min immediately guessed: "You have such a good voice and standard Mandarin. Are you planning to take the exam to be an announcer at People's Broadcasting Station?"

Qin Rou was stunned for a moment, "Yes, yes."

Before marrying Lu Yan, she did plan to change her career to become an announcer in Liaoning Province, but now she has just arrived in Qiongzhou Island and has not figured out the specific situation, but she unexpectedly learned that they are recruiting announcers here.

"I know they are recruiting people recently. You have signed up. If you don't pass the exam, come to our kindergarten to be a teacher."
