Gu Yi hurried upstairs, took three aluminum lunch boxes from the kitchen window and went downstairs.
The canteen generally does not provide tableware for dining, so employees have to bring their own.
There are not many plastic products in this era, and most of the tableware is aluminum lunch boxes or enamel basins, plus one or two pairs of chopsticks.
Liu Peiyun cleaned the kitchen yesterday morning. At the same time, she also washed a few miscellaneous tableware and placed them on the window to dry, including three aluminum lunch boxes.
With tableware, the three of them lined up in the cafeteria to get their meals and ate in the dining room.
It's not time to get off work yet, so there are not many people in the cafeteria.
After the three of them had eaten, Gu Yi took the initiative to pick up the aluminum lunch boxes and wash them.
"Sister-in-law, take Xiao Hu to the kindergarten and ask. I'll go back to the first floor of Linjiang after I finish washing. Leave the key with me."
Chen Xingling answered yes and hurried to the kindergarten taking Xiaohuzi by the hand.
After not being in the shipyard for a few days, the factory area had changed a lot. If Xiao Huzi had not been familiar with the route, Chen Xingling would not have known where to go.
The little baby did not let her down. Not only did he take the initiative to lead the way, he also "boldly" opened the door and went in, pointing to a woman in her forties and introducing her: "Mom, she is the teacher! Go and ask her!"
The woman was confused: "..."
Chen Xingling held back her laughter and secretly gave her son a thumbs up in her heart.
Then, she politely asked the teacher about the kindergarten admission requirements.
The teacher said at the beginning that it must be enough for children over 40 months old, because there are currently two classes in the kindergarten with a total of about 50 children. If the child is too young and does not have a certain degree of independence, she and her two other classmates will not be able to take care of him.
Later, I heard that Xiaohuzi could eat by himself, dress himself, put on shoes, and go to the toilet. I also saw that Xiaohuzi was playing building blocks with other children and was even giving orders to a bigger kid who was a head taller than him. Only then did I feel relieved.
"Of course, it depends on the specific situation of the child. Your child is very smart and independent. Well, the kindergarten in our factory is for the employees of the factory. You have to go to work, and there are no elderly people at home who can help take care of the child, so let's make an exception. Go back and apply for it from the HR department, and you can enter the kindergarten tomorrow after getting the slip. By the way, which department are you in?"
Chen Xingling shook his head: "I'm not an employee here. My wife is a shipbuilding designer. We now live on the first floor facing the river."
When the teacher heard about "The First Building Facing the River", he asked in surprise.
"Your lover is... Engineer Gu Qi?"
Chen Xingling smiled and nodded: "Yes."
The teacher looked at her, then smiled in sudden realization.
"The people who live on the first floor facing the river are all the top leaders in the factory, except Engineer Gu Qi. Every employee in the factory knows this. Your wife's young man is so good-looking, in his early twenties, tall and handsome, and his husband is so nice. There is no one in the factory who doesn't know him!"
Chen Xingling smiled proudly and explained, "He will be 24 in a few days, and he got married when he just turned 20."
The first marriage law stipulated that the legal age of marriage was 20 for men and 18 for women. But if they had been a little earlier, they would have almost been unable to get a marriage certificate.
"He looks too young! No more than 20 years old!" The teacher laughed and teased, "Luckily he got married at such a young age, otherwise every door in the factory would have been broken down by matchmakers. He seldom goes out, but no matter where he goes, a lot of people stare at him - many men stare at him too!"
Chen Xingling tried hard to hold back her laughter, pointing at Little Tiger and explaining, "I was originally from Yucheng, but he had to go abroad to study, so I had to stay at my husband's house to rest and take care of my pregnancy. Now the factory has allocated a room, and the place is more spacious, so he hurried back to pick us up."
The teacher looked at the happy little tiger and praised: "No wonder this child looks familiar, his eyebrows and eyes are exactly the same as Engineer Gu. Sister, I'm not bragging. Your boy will definitely be very handsome in the future, even more handsome than your wife. Your wife doesn't smile much and always gives people a cold and indifferent feeling. This boy is different, he loves to laugh and talk!"
Chen Xingling was secretly delighted by the praise and spoke modestly.
"I will go to the HR department later to ask Sister Ma Damei to write a note so that Xiaohuzi can come to class tomorrow morning. Teachers, Xiaohuzi will be in your care from now on. Please work hard!"
"You're welcome!" The teacher pointed to a little girl playing with shells in the corner and explained, "Xiaohong is Sister Ma's youngest child. She is seven years old today. Sister Ma has four children in total, and the others are in primary school. Her other children also go to kindergarten in the factory."
Chen Xingling looked at the little girl and found that she had a round face and a chubby body, almost exactly like Sister Ma.
The teacher continued, "Sister Ma's husband is in charge of logistics for the canteen, responsible for purchasing. Her children all look like them, well-fed and chubby."
Chen Xingling suppressed his laughter and didn't know what to say.
The teacher explained: "We usually learn singing and drawing in the morning, and learn some numbers and Chinese characters in the afternoon, each for half an hour. The rest of the time, we let the children play with building blocks and games. If the weather is good, we go to the small playground outside the door to play. They drink water every hour. We send them here before work, and pick them up after get off work at 5 pm. Now that the morning class is over, parents are coming to pick up their children."
Chen Xingling was about to say goodbye, but Xiaohuzi refused to leave.
The teacher laughed and said, "The children have to go to lunch. After lunch, you can come over at 1 pm."
"Then in the afternoon..." Chen Xingling asked with a smile, "Can we let Xiao Huzi come over first to get used to it?"
The teacher answered promptly: "Report Engineer Gu's work number and the HR department will approve it immediately. Otherwise, send Huzi over after lunch."
Chen Xingling quickly thanked him and went back with his son.
At this time, workers in blue factory uniforms came over one after another to pick up the children.
Chen Xingling smiled and explained: "In the future, Dad will pick you up for lunch after get off work at noon, and send you here after lunch break. Mom will pick you up after school in the afternoon, or Dad will pick you up after get off work."
"Okay!" Little Tiger asked impatiently, "Is the lunch break enough? I want to go back."
Chen Xingling smiled helplessly: "There is still an hour left, let's go home first. When the time is almost up and the children are here, Mom will take you over."
Little Tiger laughed and nodded happily.
Chen Xingling couldn't help but ask, "You really liked the kindergarten just now?"
"I like it!" the little guy answered crisply.
Chen Xingling looked at his chubby son lovingly and said with a smile, "I never thought that today, my mother will be enrolled in school and you can be enrolled too! Haha!"
The little guy immediately chimed in: “Hahahaha!”
Actually, from the current point of view, there is nothing wrong with getting married at a young age. She is only 22 years old, but her son is already 3 years old. In the future, her husband will earn money to support the family, she will go to high school, and her son will go to kindergarten. They will each be busy with their own things and have their own places to go.
By the time she graduates from college, her son should be able to go to elementary school.
