After hearing what Lin Qin said, Chen Yongding and Zhou Shuifang suddenly understood and smiled.
Zhou Shuifang asked casually, "What's the happy event in your family? The firecrackers are so loud that everyone in Nanxi can hear them!"
Lin Qin suppressed her inner joy and replied modestly: "It's nothing, I just got my work assigned to me, I'm happy!"
The couple suddenly realized, "That's right! You graduated from college this year! Time flies! Your son is almost in elementary school! How come you still look like a girl in her early twenties!"
"Aunt, I feel embarrassed by your praise! It's rare for you to come here, so bring some fruits back to try. My dad has planted a lot of watermelons, and I'll take you to see them. When you have land in the future, you can plant some crops as you wish."
Lin Qin took them to the fields.
The couple knew that Nanyu was a large place and that Lin Yi had planted many things, so they did not bother to be polite with Lin Qin.
After seeing the two off, Lin Qin took a tour of the fields and picked some vegetables that were about to go old. She also picked up a few tomatoes, planning to wash them and put them in the refrigerator. When she was ready to eat, she would take them out and dip them in sugar. They were sour and sweet and very delicious.
In the evening, when Chen Wenjun came back, Lin Qin told him about the arrival of Chen Yongding and his wife, and mentioned the relocation of the boat people.
Chen Wenjun looked calm and said, "We have Nanyu in this life, so we won't join in the fun."
The migration of the Tanka people is no small matter, as it also involves the allocation of resources, which is not a simple matter at all. Strictly speaking, their family had already changed their household registration, so it was better for them not to get involved in this matter.
Lin Qin thought so too.
The couple no longer paid attention to the migration of the Tanka people.
Just as Lin Qin was preparing to go to the TV station for the report, news came from the daycare center of the Senior Citizens University that they were closing and would not offer classes in the next semester.
Lin Qin's heart tightened and she hurried to the daycare center to find Ye Wenwen.
I haven't been here for a while, and the daycare center is still the same, except that there are fewer children. There were two classes at first, then one more class was added, but now there is only one class left.
All the older and younger children were mixed together, and the only teachers left were Ye Wenwen and Teacher Xu.
Zhao Xiaohong was the one who cooked.
Lin Qin was somewhat surprised.
Ye Wenwen smiled bitterly and said, "Sister Qin, we are old friends. I won't hide it from you. The nursery was originally established because the workers in the textile factory could not take care of their children. In recent years, the efficiency of the textile factory has been getting worse year by year. It can be said that it has been going downhill since the year the nursery was opened.
But a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and it can still hold on. However, this year, the textile factory could no longer operate and has declared bankruptcy. The employees' children who were in elementary school went back home, while the younger ones were taken back. Without the subsidies and students from the textile factory, all the other teachers resigned and left, leaving only Teacher Xu and I to struggle on.
Xiaohong could have left, after all, her salary was paid by the textile factory. Now the textile factory stopped paying her, and I had no ability to pay her salary. But she felt sorry for herself and said that if she left, we would be too busy and they were also worried about the children not having food to eat, so she stayed.
But we can’t just detain them here for granted, so Teacher Xu and I thought about it carefully and decided to close the nursery.”
Lin Qin frowned when she heard this. "Where are you going to go if the nursery is closed? Are you going to find a new job in a kindergarten?"
Ye Wenwen was somewhat helpless. "It's not clear yet. Anyway, we have to solve the current problem first."
Zhao Xiaohong heard Lin Qin's voice coming from the kitchen and answered, "Sister Qin, Teacher Ye and Teacher Xu have been paying for the daycare center for the past two months. Although we are reluctant to leave the children behind, we really can't do without closing the store."
Lin Qin shook her head and patted Ye Wenwen on the shoulder. "You should have told me in advance if you were in such a difficult situation. I could have helped you with some ideas. If you still want to continue running this nursery, I will find a way.
At worst, I can buy the nursery and recruit new students. Previously, it mainly accepted children of textile factory workers, but in the future it will recruit new students. Tuition fees and other things can be re-set, and even the address can be re-selected."
The senior citizens' university is located in a remote area, deep in an alley with few residents nearby. It was previously the site of a textile factory.
If Sister Fang was still here, Lin Qin could consider continuing to rent this building to run a daycare center, but Sister Fang retired last year, and the senior citizens' university got a new administrator, a veteran who doesn't look for trouble and doesn't take care of things. He just comes here to spend the day and wait for retirement.
She no longer had any reason to continue running the daycare center here.
Ye Wenwen and Zhao Xiaohong's eyes lit up and they excitedly grabbed Lin Qin's hands.
"Sister Qin, are you really willing to take over the daycare center?" Ye Wenwen's eyes were filled with tears. To be honest, she had feelings for these children and couldn't just give them up. Especially since some of the children really had no one to take care of them at home and had to be sent here out of necessity. If the daycare center was closed, what would happen to these children?
Lin Qin nodded heavily and said thoughtfully, "I have to report to my workplace in the next two days. So, I'm free today. I'll go to the nearby residential area to see if there is a suitable place for setting up a school. If I can't find one, I can just pay for a piece of land from the land department and apply to set up a nursery. This will be more formal."
Ye Wenwen and Zhao Xiaohong nodded frantically.
Faced with the two people's hopeful eyes, Lin Qin did not dare to delay and turned around and went to the Education Bureau to find Huang Weixiong to make tea.
After leaving the Education Bureau, she went straight to the Land and Resources Bureau and sat with an acquaintance for a while.
In less than two days, the land she wanted for the nursery was approved.
The land is 20 acres in size and is located in a busy area near the Senior Citizens' University. The total cost was 20,000 yuan.
Once the land is approved, we will build houses, create pastures and activity areas.
Lin Qin paid professionals to handle all of these matters, and he was only responsible for paying the money.
When the nursery started construction, Lin Qin went to the senior citizen university again and said to Ye Wenwen and the others, "The new kindergarten is already under construction. If it's fast, it will be completed in September. Let's put it aside and start classes around National Day. During this time, I will provide food here. You can transition there first, and you can move over when it's ready."
Ye Wenwen and Teacher Xu were so surprised and shocked that they kept saying a lot of words of gratitude and wanted to worship little Chen Ruiming.
After resolving the crisis at the daycare center, Lin Qin reported to work with peace of mind.
Although she worked in a TV station, her job was related to editing and planning. At the beginning, she could only do odd jobs for others and had no access to core work at all.
But Lin Qin was already very satisfied with this. After all, in her previous life, she didn't even know which direction the TV station's door faced.
The old employees in the unit were originally very arrogant, and they wanted to dampen the enthusiasm of the newcomers and demonstrate their status.
It turns out that Lin Qin has no temper at all. She smiles no matter what she is asked to do. She doesn't get angry even when she is scolded. They are like punching cotton, which is useless. (End of this chapter)
