Chapter 29
When they arrived at the hotel, Lu Yu'an had already deleted his Weibo post, and Li Yang looked a little better.
Gangcheng Kindergarten was wealthy and had booked the entire hotel. Before Nanjiang City Kindergarten arrived, teachers and students from kindergartens in two other cities had already arrived.
The magnificent lobby on the first floor was packed with people. For the safety of the children, four bodyguards were hired to guard the gate to prevent any children from running out and getting lost.
The teachers and students of Nanjiang Kindergarten were arranged on the 12th floor. The teachers slept in double rooms, while the children's rooms had three beds, with two people sleeping on each bed, so there were six children in one room.
The children were very excited about this exclusive space where they could huddle together and tell little secrets.
In order to prevent all the Tai Chi class students from being crowded together, Lu Xiaoguo arranged three Tai Chi classes and three Lotus classes in the same room.
The children's rooms were divided equally, and then the teachers' rooms were divided. "Wu Qian and I will sleep in the same room."
The remaining three rooms naturally have two teachers from the Tai Chi class, two teachers from the Lotus class, and Zhou Du and Li Yang.
Li Yang: ...
Without saying a word, he took Li Dongqiang into the room.
The teachers went back to their rooms to put away their luggage. When they came out, they saw that the entire 12th floor was like Sun Wukong's Flower and Fruit Mountain. The little monkeys were running around in all the rooms and corridors with pillows, fighting and playing, making a lot of noise. Liang Tang coughed, and several little monkeys looked over, stunned for a few seconds, and then quickly ran back to their rooms to put away their pillows.
Lu Xiaoguo clapped his hands and said, "Let's get in line and go to the restaurant to eat."
“Yeah!!!”
In less than fifteen seconds, two long lines were lined up in an orderly manner.
The Gangcheng Kindergarten asked the hotel to open a buffet in the afternoon for all kindergartens from other cities arriving at different time periods.
When we arrived at the cafeteria on the second floor, the kids let out long “Wow~”s with shining eyes.
Seafood, Western and Hong Kong style meals, desserts, juices...
Everything you need.
When the children saw this, their stomachs began to growl.
"You must abide by the rules. You can't run, fight, or waste food. You only take as much as you can eat. Can you do that?" Lu Xiaoguo asked.
Children: “Yes!”
"Go get your meal."
The child cheered and took the plate to get his meal.
The cafeteria was bustling with people, including teachers and students from two other kindergartens. As soon as the team from Nanjiang City dispersed, teachers from other kindergartens immediately came over to say hello and chat.
Li Yang was not interested in this kind of occasion and followed the children to get their meals.
He picked up some food from the plate, got a cup of mango sago, walked to the dessert area, and picked up a small piece of cake.
A little girl with chubby pink cheeks stood on tiptoe to grab the strawberry cake, but she was too short and the cake was inside the table, so she couldn't reach it no matter what she did.
It is Zhixuan.
Li Yang raised her hand, picked up a piece and put it on her white porcelain plate.
Zhixuan followed the hand and looked over. The two of them, one tall and one short, stared at each other for a while, then Zhixuan smiled sweetly: "Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Li Dongqiang went to eat with his classmates, and Li Yang chose a seat by the window in the corner. He ordered a small amount of food, and after he felt full, he looked at the scenery outside the window and drank a drink. The chair opposite was pushed and Zhixuan sat down. Her plate was piled high with all kinds of delicious food, everything, and she even put donuts and seafood together.
Zhixuan started eating.
Li Yang seemed to be watching a cat eating.
She ate in a messy manner, eating whatever she could get from the plate, and eating in a clumsy manner.
Seeing her picking up a mantis shrimp and chewing it, Li Yang couldn't help but said, "Peel the shell first."
Zhixuan stopped, raised his little face, and said distressedly, "I don't know how to peel it."
Li Yang: "...Bring it here, I'll peel it for you."
Zhixuan smiled sweetly again, "Thank you, brother."
Li Yang's fingers nimbly peeled a whole mantis shrimp and put it in her bowl. Zhixuan then gave him a hairy crab and ate the shrimp meat in big mouthfuls.
Li Yang returned it to her and tapped her head with the other end of the chopsticks. "This trick doesn't work on me. Find a way to eat it yourself."
Zhixuan showed no change of expression and just said, "Okay."
Li Yang leaned lazily on the chair, took a sip of mango sago with a straw, and Lu Xiaoguo came over with two women.
"Master Xiao Li! I finally found you. You were hiding here. Let me introduce you. These two are the principals of the kindergartens in Mingxi City and Shen City. I want to ask you how you avoid evil spirits when you drive to pick up the children."
Li Yang was puzzled. "I haven't avoided them. I usually stay far away from them."
When the two directors heard this, they knew that it was up to Li Yang to keep the evil creatures away from the car. They all lowered their heads and shook their heads: "When can we find such a person? It's too difficult."
Among millions of people, it is extremely difficult to find one person who is completely avoided by evil spirits.
Another group of teachers and students came in through the restaurant door, which somewhat dispelled the two principals' depressed mood. They walked over with Lu Xiaoguo to socialize again.
There was another person sitting opposite him, it was Liang Tang, and his two plates were also piled high.
Zhixuan gave his hairy crab to Liang Tang, "Teacher Liang, I want to eat this."
"Okay, Zhixuan is so good." Liang Tang smiled and quickly removed the crab leg meat.
Li Yang bit the straw and said nothing.
Zhou Du also finished his meal, walked over and sat down next to Li Yang.
Liang Tang said jokingly, "Director Zhou, you finally have some time to sit down?"
Zhou Du smiled faintly, "We have Lu Xiaoguo in our garden, what else do I need to say? Quickly reveal the financial situation of the garden."
The two chatted about random things while eating. Li Yang listened without saying anything. Zhixuan ate strawberry cake, his bright eyes rolling around from time to time, obviously listening as well. His little face was made into a little cat by the cream.
After the teachers and students finished their meal, they quickly lined up and went back to the 12th floor to make room for the kindergarten students who arrived later.
In the corridor, Lu Xiaoguo looked at his watch. "It's two o'clock in the afternoon now. Everyone has three and a half hours for lunch break. Be careful not to sleep too long, otherwise you won't be able to sleep at night. If you don't want to sleep, please don't make noise or visit other children, so as not to disturb other children's sleep. Got it?"
"Know--"
"Okay, disband and go back to your rooms."
Li Yang held Li Dongqiang's hand.
Zhou Du turned around and handed the room card to him, "You guys go back to your room first, I'm going to talk to the people in Gangcheng about something."
Li Yang raised his eyelids, "Should I leave the door open for you?"
Zhou Du smiled, "No need."
Li Yang felt happy and at ease, so he went back to his room.
A double room with a living room and an open kitchen.
Li Dongqiang was lying on the recliner in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, touching his round belly and burping.
Ten minutes later, the hiccups finally stopped, and Li Dongqiang asked Li Yang in a low voice: "Can I go play with Tang Wan and the others?"
Li Yang: "Go ahead, don't disturb the other kids."
Li Dongqiang nodded and went out, but came back three minutes later with a bag of potato chips in his hand, which he was chewing with a crunching sound.
"The Lotus class kids in Tang Wan's room were all asleep, and Tang Wan and the others also wanted to sleep, so they gave me some potato chips to compensate me."
The kids didn’t sleep on the plane. They were excited and nervous for a long time and are now tired.
Li Dongqiang was talking as he tried to get on the bed, but was stopped by Li Yang: "You are not allowed to eat in bed. Also," he walked over and picked up her schoolbag, which was upside down, and shook out all the snacks, "Didn't I buy them for you?"
Li Dongqiang nodded, "But other people's food tastes better."
Li Yang felt like a helpless parent who couldn't teach his children well.
"Don't take other people's things next time."
"Okay."
…
Around five o'clock in the afternoon, some children woke up while some were still sleeping. The children who woke up spoke in low voices and did things very tiptoe. Until the clock struck 30, Lu Xiaoguo and other teachers woke them up and urged them to wash their faces. The scene was in chaos.
Li Yang's door was tightly closed, so naturally he could not hear any sound from outside.
When Zhou Du returned to the room with the second room card, he saw that the air conditioner was turned down to 23 degrees, the curtains were drawn tightly, and Li Yang was sleeping soundly wrapped in a quilt while hugging Li Dongqiang.
Zhou Du opened the curtains and saw tall buildings standing in the port city. The golden sunset was setting slowly on the seashore.
Li Yang frowned and buried his face in the quilt. Then, his big hands with fine joints pulled the corner of the quilt slightly off, revealing his face. Zhou Du woke him up: "Li Yang, Li Yang."
"Hmm?" Li Yang woke up a little.
When Li Dongqiang in his arms heard his benefactor's call, he inexplicably dared not move.
"I got up."
"Um."
Li Yang went to the bathroom with sleepy eyes, and splashed cold water on his face before he woke up completely.
After waking up, he asked himself: What was that "hmm?"?
When we left the room, the kids had already been taken away by the teacher.
In the elevator, Li Yang looked the same, Zhou Du also looked the same, only Li Dongqiang was different.
It's that, he can't explain what it is, it's weird.
When he arrived at the banquet hall on the third floor, Li Dongqiang finally thought of an adjective: When the benefactor was still asleep... he was so delicate...
But it didn't dare to speak, for fear of being beaten.
The exchange meeting officially started at 6pm. The banquet hall was very large, and the hotel removed the screens between the two halls to connect them so that so many people could sit.
Unlike an ordinary conference hall, this one was filled with round dining tables according to the needs of Gangcheng Kindergarten, where everyone had meetings while eating and drinking.
With eighteen kindergartens gathered here from far away places, it is definitely bustling.
Zhou Du and Li Yang arrived at the Nanjiang area. The kindergarten children had already filled four tables, with two teachers at each table. Zhou Du and Li Yang happened to sit at the last table with the children.
It was not time yet, so the hotel had not served the dishes, but they had prepared appetizers. Li Dongqiang turned the glass plate, picked up a piece of crispy white radish, and peeled off the red chili on it with his hands before eating it in one bite.
“It’s delicious!”
The other kids were afraid to touch the small dish when they saw the chili peppers. But when they heard Li Dongqiang say it was delicious, they asked, "Really?"
"real!"
“Isn’t it spicy?”
Li Dongqiang tasted it and shook his head: "Not spicy at all."
Several kids used chopsticks or spoons to pick up or scoop up the food, then put it into their mouths. After taking a bite, their eyes lit up.
They hissed at the spiciness and said, "It's delicious, sour and sweet, a little spicy, but delicious!"
The time passed slowly until 18:00, and the principal of Gangcheng Kindergarten took the microphone to the stage to speak.
He talked a lot, with saliva flying all over his body.
But unfortunately, the children from the other 17 kindergartens, perhaps also the teachers, and perhaps also the teachers and students of Gangcheng’s own kindergarten, could not understand a word.
In their ears, Hong Kong Mandarin means: La di di la di.
The whole process is like encrypted language.
Even Teacher Lu Xiaoguo, who had studied in Hong Kong for two years and could understand Cantonese, shook his head and said he didn't understand.
However, because the principal spoke so hard and even wiped away tears of excitement at the end, they still gave him warm applause.
