Chapter 42
At the end of November, when winter began, there was some white fog in the early morning in Nanjiang City, and there were fewer vehicles on the road.
An orange school bus was shuttling through the crowds, running almost smoothly all the way with green lights all the time, picking up children from two classes ten minutes earlier than before.
On the way back, there were more vehicles going to work and dropping off students, but the lights were still almost all green. Even if you had to wait, you would have to wait for a red light of less than 30 seconds.
However, when we stopped at a busy intersection, we encountered a traffic police team who were clearing traffic jams at rush hour.
The school bus stopped next to the traffic police's motorcycle. The kids sitting on the right side pressed their faces against the glass windows and screamed a few times.
Their clear, curious big eyes were fixed on the little traffic police bear wearing an orange-striped uniform and a small hat hanging on the rearview mirror of the traffic police's motorcycle.
The traffic policeman standing nearby noticed his gaze and felt a little curious when he saw the child wearing a Taoist robe and having a bald head.
The e-person team led by Peng Nannan from the Tai Chi class did not say that they wanted it, but just shouted: "Uncle police! The little bear is so cute!!"
The young traffic police comrade smiled, took down the two traffic police bears without saying a word, and hung them on the poles of the rearview mirrors on both sides of the school bus.
The green light came on, the traffic police saluted, and the kids returned the salute in a standard way.
After sending the baby back to the garden, Liang Tang said, "Do you want to go back to your room and take a nap?"
Li Yang shook his head, he was very energetic.
"Then come with me to buy ingredients."
Liang Tang remembered that he could drive a tractor, so he went to a familiar family near the market to borrow a tractor and purchase fresh ingredients for the garden.
Everyone at the market knew Liang Tang and would take the initiative to say hello, but it was the first time they met Li Yang.
I saw a thin young man wearing the simplest sports suit sitting on an old tractor. He had a white face and red lips, and his facial features were particularly good-looking. He was very pleasing to the eye, and even the tractor looked high-end.
They all stared at him and teased Liang Tang: "Is this your kindergarten's new teacher?"
Liang Tang also replied with a slight accent: "It's a new kid."
Li Yang was originally attending classes in kindergarten, so he was a student.
"Hey, hey, hey," the bosses cheered, "How old are you? Are you married?"
Liang Tang also laughed, "What do you think?"
The female boss covered her mouth and laughed: "I don't think she is of legal age yet."
The female bosses were very enthusiastic and sent a few extra side dishes to the kindergarten for Li Yang, such as small pumpkins and sweet potatoes, and stuffed them directly into Li Yang's hands, and then began to want to introduce him to a girl.
Li Yang didn't quite understand the mixed chatter of dialects, so Liang Tang quickly bought some food and took Li Yang away.
After running away, Liang Tang breathed a sigh of relief, "If I hadn't run fast with you, you would have been betrothed."
Li Yang:?
Seeing that he didn't understand, Liang Tang added, "You just looked like Tang Monk who entered the Silk Cave. Do you understand now?"
Li Yang didn't take the aunts' jokes to heart, "Going back to the garden now?"
"No, no, no, let's go to the vegetable market inside again."
Ten minutes later, Liang Tang came out of the vegetable market carrying a few red bags and some seasonal fruits.
Li Yang looked at the quantity and knew that he could only make enough dishes for one table, and it should be as sumptuous as a banquet.
“Isn’t this for students?”
Liang Tang lowered his head and put away the ingredients. He said, "The leaders from the bureau came to inspect at 10 o'clock and they left after having lunch."
Liang Tang sat next to him while Li Yang pulled the food and drove the tractor very fast.
Liang Tang held the railing firmly, and the wind from the road blew towards his face.
He couldn't help but ask, "Li Yang, when you touch something with wheels, do you want to shoot Fast and Furious?"
Li Yang did not slow down and tilted his head to look at him.
Liang Tang hurriedly said, "Look at the road! Look at the road!"
I never dare talk to him again.
The tractor hummed its way back to the kindergarten, and after shutting down the engine, it moved the food.
Because they went to the market in Zhoudu's car, they now have to drive the tractor back and bring back Zhoudu's car.
Liang Tang also had to prepare food and cook, so this task fell on Li Yang alone.
Liang Tang told him not to talk too much with the boss ladies and to come back after delivering the tractor.
Li Yang nodded, indicating that he remembered it.
However, “don’t talk too much” is not something he can do alone.
When he came back in Zhou Du's car, he went straight to the kitchen where they cooked for the kids.
Liang Tang was preparing food, and when he looked up, he saw Li Yang's face was extremely sour.
There are more than a dozen bags of vegetables in their hands, and there are several finger marks with black mud on their faces. The boss ladies always touch the mud at the roots of the vegetables when selling vegetables.
His hair was also messy and looked rumpled.
Liang Tang imagined the scene and laughed.
Then he smiled and consoled her: "It's okay, it's okay. I gave you some food. I'll give you more today."
"Don't ask me to go next time." Li Yang put a dozen bags of vegetables on the table and turned back to clean up.
Back at the dormitory villa, the first floor was filled with the aroma of coffee.
Zhou Du was making coffee at the bar, and was startled when he saw him like this: "You and Liang Tang went to buy vegetables, didn't they ask you to dig in the fields?"
Li Yang wiped his face.
"The more you apply, the more flowers bloom."
Li Yang simply walked to the kitchen, took out a piece of tissue, wet it, and wiped his face vigorously.
Zhou Du made a cup of coffee and asked him, "Want some?"
"Triple concentrate, it will be a bit bitter."
Li Yang shook his head, "You didn't sleep?"
"I slept for two hours. The leader of the bureau is coming over at ten o'clock, so I have to wake up." Zhou Du took a sip of black coffee, it tasted sour and bitter, but his expression did not change at all.
Li Yang remembered something: "I'll go out and fix my phone later."
"Go this afternoon. The leader specifically wants to see you during this inspection."
"To see me?"
"They want to introduce talents like you to all the Little Foreigners Kindergartens across the country. After all, other kindergartens are also suffering from the same problems that our kindergarten encountered when it was dispatched before, so they may need to observe you."
Zhou Du lowered his eyelashes and took another sip of coffee. He thought of something and the corners of his lips, which were hidden by the rim of the cup, curled up slightly.
It's their business who they find.
There is only one Li Yang in the whole country, and he is right in front of him.
Zhou Du collected his thoughts and said, "You don't have to be nervous. Just answer whatever they ask. You don't have to take the initiative to talk to them. Just be normal and natural."
Li Yang nodded, "That's fine."
He is not good at social activities, and is even less capable of finding things to talk about, warming up a crowd, or giving compliments.
But Zhou Du said that he only needed to meet with these leaders and answer questions, so that was all he needed to do.
*
At around ten o'clock, two black cars drove into the kindergarten, and Zhou Du and Lu Xiaoguo went out to greet them.
There were two big leaders who came, one surnamed Liu and the other surnamed Li. They wore white shirts and black trousers, and were somewhat plump, but had good looks. Besides having good fortunes, one could also feel that they had good tempers, were approachable and easy to get along with.
Seeing Zhou Du and Lu Xiaoguo, he smiled familiarly and said, "Zhou Yuan, I haven't seen you for a year, but you haven't changed much. Xiao Lu, your master complained to me a few days ago, saying that you were unwilling to go to the temple to be the acting abbot."
Other people from the two cars also got out, including two Taoist priests, two monks, and a man who looked like an assistant.
When the great monk Master Yuanhe heard this, he also said, "Master Xiao Lu also told me that."
Lu Xiaoguo scratched his head in embarrassment. "Oh, don't blame me. I haven't thought so far ahead yet! I will first climb the kindergarten ladder and become the principal!"
It was obvious that he was coveting Zhou Du's position as the director of the garden.
"But our boss is still our boss!" Lu Xiaoguo flattered Zhou Du again.
The Taoist priest beside him laughed so hard that his white beard flew off: "Teacher Xiaoguo is still young. He is not like some people who are thirty years old and can still make the masters on the mountain thousands of kilometers away so angry that they jump up and down in the temple."
Zhou Du cooperated with a helpless look on his face: "Uncle Liyun, I will only be 28 next year."
Taoist Li Yun snorted.
"Dear leaders and seniors, please don't stand here. Let's talk while walking." Lu Xiaoguo made a gesture of invitation, and the group walked and exchanged greetings.
When Director Liu Li looked at the decorations of the facilities in the kindergarten, Lu Xiaoguo said: "There are no new facilities in the kindergarten, but we will decorate the kindergarten with new decorations every semester, so that the children will feel different every semester, which can be regarded as adding freshness. They are still willing to come to the kindergarten to study and play."
Turning from the small playground to the teaching building, the leaders looked at the doors of two classes.
Both classrooms have good lighting and are bright and clean.
The Lotus class was taking a theory class. The atmosphere in the classroom seemed mixed with the fragrance of books. It was a very harmonious and serious scene.
The head teacher was explaining a scripture. When he saw them, he nodded slightly as a greeting and then taught the young monks to call people.
Little monk: "Hello uncles! Hello principal teacher!"
Director Liu Li nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad, not bad, you have taught the children very well. Your kindergarten should be shortlisted for the advanced unit this year."
Lu Xiaoguo's face was filled with joy. If we were rated as an advanced unit, we would get a bonus!
Then go to the Tai Chi class across the street.
They are taking a practical class. Today they are learning how to control a sword. Once they have mastered it, they can try to fly the sword. Of course, that is a story for later. Today they are mainly learning the first step: levitation.
Each person had a peach wood sword. Some could make the sword float steadily and freeze in place, while others made the swords sway crookedly, and some could not fly at all. Some had already ordered the wooden swords to fly around and run around, while others were shouting.
Liang Tang was in the kitchen, and there were only two other assistant teachers. They were completely unable to control these little monkeys, and the situation was chaotic.
In the end, the four masters who came with the two directors stepped in and took control of the Tai Chi class.
The two assistant teachers looked at the classroom where books were scattered all over the desks and the floor due to chasing and fighting, and they were embarrassed. "Hello, leaders. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you..." Then they quickly taught the children to shout: "Hello, uncle! Hello, principal!"
Taoist Li Yun waved his hand and shook his head, "Don't worry about it, every Tai Chi class in the park is like this."
The assistant next to them was a new follower of the two leaders. He asked Lu Xiaoguo in a low voice: "The director is the director, why add a teacher at the end?"
Lu Xiaoguo explained: "Because when I introduced him to the children, I was not very formal and just told them casually, 'This is the director.' The children didn't know what a director was, so they all thought that Zhou Yuan's name was the director..."
The assistant suddenly realized.
