After the fifth day of the New Year, Chu Yao started to get busy.
The employees of the company and the store also started to work. Johnnie To and his colleagues also distributed red envelopes for the start of work. The red envelopes were not big, only five yuan per person, which touched the hearts of the company's employees again.
At school, Chu Yao has to keep an eye on many things herself, such as the recruitment and screening of teachers and other staff, which she needs to check one by one personally to prevent people with bad intentions from coming to the school to harm students.
However, fortunately, Uncle Nian and Yang Hang were there to check on her, which made Chu Yao feel a lot more relaxed.
The most interesting thing is that Uncle Nian also tricked his good friends who were unemployed at home to come, under the pretext of letting these old guys exercise. Those friends also enjoyed it. Although they were old, they were still very interested in educating the next generation of the motherland.
This solved Chu Yao's urgent problem, and she also recruited some retired soldiers from Yang Hang's former colleagues. Now, students' physical education classes can not only be just about running laps, but they can also practice a few punches.
The school teachers have been recruited, as well as two cooks, two cleaners, five security guards and five patrol officers. These people were all introduced by Johnnie To and Zhang Wenjun.
He also said that if Chu Yao needed help later, just let them know, and they could help with this small matter.
While preparing the teaching resources, Chu Yao also searched for unadopted children or wandering beggars near Kyoto.
After finding the people, Chu Yao first took them to the hospital to check whether they were healthy or had any other diseases.
Fortunately, God is kind to these children. Apart from malnutrition, they don’t have any major problems.
Currently, the oldest of these children is only thirteen years old, and the youngest is only about two years old. There are not many of them, only about twenty or so. Chu Yao asked people to go to other corners of Kyoto to look for other children.
Chu Yao arranged the children who had already packed up to go to school first. Before the school started, she let them have a place to live and adapt to the current life.
With the school affairs arranged in this way, it was already the Lantern Festival. Once the Lantern Festival was over, it meant that the Chinese New Year was over.
Since there are elderly people and children at home, and Chu Yao has done so many big things this year, the family decided that everyone should go to school together on the Lantern Festival and let the children participate, so that they won't be so nervous and can get used to the current life sooner.
Chu Yao and Aunt Zhao bought the ingredients needed for making Yuanxiao (Chinese Yuanxiao) early in the morning, as well as ingredients for making dumplings and other dishes. Then the whole family rushed to school in a mighty procession.
Of course, Chu Yao also called Johnnie To, Zhang Wenjun, Sister Liu, and Sister Liu's daughter Liu Cuicui.
Several of them did not come empty-handed. They brought practical gifts for the children and distributed them to them.
Now, it seemed that there were a lot more people. The children, the school teachers, and other staff, plus Chu Yao's family, totaled more than fifty people.
Fortunately, Chu Yao took the number of students into consideration when building the school, and built a large cafeteria with enough tables, chairs and benches.
Although it is still a bit cold now, with the stove burning and everyone gathered together to make Yuanxiao and dumplings, their hearts are warm.
At the beginning, the kids were still hesitant and always felt like they were out of place, but with the naughty boy Yang Zhang around, it was hard not to have a lively atmosphere.
Soon, the children all became busy and started competing to see who could make the best-looking Yuanxiao and dumplings.
Well, even if it was not good-looking, the adults couldn’t bear to say it out loud, so they just kept saying it was good-looking, which made the children even more excited.
Lin Ling, Wu Siyu, Aunt Zhao and the two aunts in the cafeteria felt that the children should not be spoiled too much, so they carefully taught them how to make the dumplings beautiful and pleasing to the eye.
Fortunately, the children are not impatient. Children at this age are curious about everything and have excellent hands-on skills.
You know what, the Yuanxiao and dumplings they made later were really good.
After wrapping the Yuanxiao and dumplings, the adults sent the children out to play. Chu Yao also made a few slides on the left and right sides of the cafeteria based on the appearance of kindergartens in later generations.
These slides have become the children's favorite.
Even Fufu, Lele, A Zhao and others who were like little adults couldn't help but want to play together.
In the end, they had so much fun that even when the adults called them to eat, they had to call them several times before they reluctantly left the slide.
Chu Yao instantly felt that there were not enough slides, but adding more would not increase the number.
It's simple, she also wants to play, but how can she, as an adult, have the nerve to play with children? So, she didn't add more, and let the study and homework hit the children hard.
There is a saying that goes, if you have been caught in the rain yourself, you should also tear other people's umbrellas.
It is undoubtedly lively when eating.
There were many people and lots of food, and everyone was talking about gossip or future developments. In a nutshell, this Lantern Festival dinner in the cafeteria has become a memory in the hearts of many people.
Including those children who have become successful in the future, no matter how busy or tired they are, they will always come to Yucai School during the Lantern Festival every year. This is their harbor and the resting place of their souls.
After the examination reports of the last batch of children came out, Chu Yao arranged for them to stay in school and the start of school. The time was a little later than that of other schools, but there was nothing she could do about it.
Also, these children basically cannot read, so all of them start from first grade, except for the youngest who go to kindergarten.
There are not many children in the kindergarten, only twelve, and their ages are not much different. The youngest is two years old and the oldest is six years old. They are all in kindergarten.
There are more children in the first grade, so the teachers divided them into two classes according to their age. Class 1, Grade 1, is for children aged seven to ten, and Class 1, Grade 1, is for children aged eleven to thirteen. This makes it easier to manage.
When the classes were divided, Chu Yao did not intervene and left it all to the teachers to handle. After all, they were professionals.
Chu Yao was not idle either. She asked someone to find those homeless children and beggars, not wanting to waste such good educational resources.
After all, having Uncle Nian and his friends come to teach is a rare opportunity, so she wants to squeeze as much as possible, or rather, make the most of them.
Of course, she was not idle either. She took the time to draw some designs and do other things, and was busy like a top.
Later, many more children came. Chu Yao took them to the hospital for examination first, and then arranged them to school. The rest of the matters were handed over to the teacher.
By the way, Chu Yao also decided to recruit an experienced principal. She actually forgot such an important thing.
In fact, the people in the school thought that the principal was Chu Yao herself. After all, this school was funded and established by her, and all the staff and children in it were selected by her.
