Raising Babies in the 70s

Chapter 23: small pine tree

Views:

Lu Yan left early in the morning without waking her up. Last night, Lu Yan made a lot of steamed buns and kept them in the freezer for her. Qin Rou was depressed, so she didn't stop him from making steamed buns, and turned over a bag for her. The milk powder bought by the children came out, saying that sugar and milk powder should be added.

Among other things, the steamed buns made by Lu Yan are really strong and delicious. At the beginning, I thought they were tasteless, but after eating, I found that they were really good.

Qin Rou has never eaten this kind of steamed buns before. The steamed buns she has eaten are relatively fluffy, and can be squeezed hard to make them very flat. They taste sweet and sweet. People don’t like ordinary white steamed buns. They prefer coarse grain steamed buns and corn flowering steamed buns. And so on, it is rare to see big white steamed buns.

Although the steamed buns made by Lu Yan are delicious, Qin Rou wants to taste what kind of sweet steamed buns he makes.

At that time, Lu Yan frowned: "..."

Add sugar and milk powder... Is this steamed bun still edible

—Of course I can eat it! !

At Qin Rou's insistence, Lu Yan helped her make a few steamed buns with milk powder and sugar, not many, five or six, because Lu Yan really couldn't stand adding sugar to the steamed buns.

It's scary just thinking about it.

Qin Rou got up and warmed up three steamed buns, a plate of pickles, and called the kids over for breakfast. She boiled two extra eggs for the kids and made them a cup of malted milk.

Simple breakfast, even if you want to be extravagant, you can't be extravagant.

Qin Rou was eating steamed buns, and missed the rice rolls she had in Guangcheng very much. One day she will make rice rolls at home! !

There is no such condition now, and even the pickles on the table were given by Lu Yan when he first came to the family home. There are few fresh vegetables now, so it would be nice to have a mouthful of pickles.

It's just that this pickle is really salty, there is nothing else but salty, it's unpalatable to be honest, but people feel uncomfortable if they don't eat some salty ones.

Qin Rou plans to go to the villagers in the nearby village to buy some white radishes, and make some sweet and sour diced radishes for appetizers, or dried pickled radishes.

She prefers to eat cucumbers, sweet and sour cucumbers.

Right now, there was a lack of food and clothing, and the two children Xia Mingxi and Chen Jingyi were not picky eaters. The adults would eat whatever they were given, and if they didn't eat, they would only starve.

Xia Mingxi took the steamed bun and bit it, and had an unexpected discovery, "Little aunt, are the steamed buns sweet?"

Chen Jingyi repeated: "Sweet?!"

Qin Rou: "... I made a mistake."

Sweet steamed buns paired with pickles really have a "weird" taste. It's good to eat alone, but it's too greasy to eat a few more bites. It's better not to add sugar. There is no sweeter condensed milk at the moment. With a little condensed milk, this sweet steamed bun will taste better.

No condensed milk, seems to be served with jam

But there is nothing in their house right now.

After breakfast, Qin Rou went to pick up an egg from the chicken coop. The taste of surprise was indescribable. As expected of the laying hen she bought at a huge price, it was really precious!

In the future, at least four or five hens will be raised at home, and they will lay an egg every day, and they will not take it out for exchange, just eat it at home.

The sex of the other little chickens is still unclear for the time being. Qin Rou secretly prayed that they were all hens, all hens, all hens...

Tsk, this feeling of waiting for the lottery.

After feeding the chickens, Qin Rou planned to send the two cubs to the kindergarten together. There was a large kindergarten near the base. Not only the children of the base, but also the children of the nearby farm cadres were also sent to this kindergarten.

Since the 1950s and 1960s, domestic kindergartens have blossomed everywhere, mainly to liberate women from labor. Most units have their own kindergartens for employees.

Qin Rou said to the two cubs, "I'll send you two to kindergarten today."

"Are you happy?"

Neither Xia Mingxi nor Chen Jingyi had ever been to a kindergarten before. Qin Rou used to be a kindergarten teacher, and she had seen a lot of "spectacular" scenes of kids going to kindergarten for the first time. There was a lot of noise.

It is not yet known how the two cubs reacted.

"Happy!!" Little Fatty jumped up with his hands raised, very cheerful, as if he couldn't wait to go to kindergarten.

Chen Jingyi: "..."

Qin Rou squeezed the little chubby's face, thinking that this little chubby boy is really an optimist, going to the kindergarten to make new friends, for him, it might be like returning to his happy hometown.

This little optimist.

The little chubby who loves to laugh will not be too bad luck.

Qin Rou heard about this little chubby's life experience from Lu Yan. The little chubby is the child of his third sister, and his third brother-in-law is no longer there. The little chubby's father is also in the navy. He used to serve in the South China Sea, so he sent the little chubby Guys come and see.

The third brother-in-law and his family were worried about their relatives. Someone in the family had a big birthday and insisted on asking him to go back. If he didn't go back, he would miss the auspicious time and ruin his family's luck... Later, he encountered a mountain disaster on the way.

The Lu family no longer interacts with his family, and the little fat pier has been raised by the Lu family.

Qin Rou sighed in her heart, it's not easy.

"Auntie, you, send it off." Chen Jingyi whispered while tugging at Qin Rou's trouser legs.

Qin Rou looked down and found that this little guy was holding a colored pencil drawing that he said he would give to her. There were three crooked drawings on the painting, one was Lu Yan hammering a nail, the other was Qin Rou who was smiling, and the third The little chubby pier grabbing the chicken's tail has three coconut trees planted beside it.

Although the painting is very immature, it is also quite vivid. Qin Rou was a little surprised and praised: "Our Xiao Jingyi's painting is really good. When I come back, my aunt will stick it on the wall for you."

"Take it to kindergarten!!!" the little fat man on the side said hastily.

Qin Rou: "..."

She looked at herself in the painting, a rather abstract woman with a row of teeth when she smiled...

Children's paintings are like this, bring it with you.

—There is always a bad feeling about it.

The two children can ride the car of the family home, and Qin Rou follows behind on a bicycle. It is the first time to send the children to the kindergarten. At least I have to go to the kindergarten to see it. Fortunately, it is not too far away, and it takes about ten minutes to ride there.

She had never seen a kindergarten in the seventies with her own eyes!

When she arrived, she found that the kindergarten was no different from ordinary schools at this time. The school was just a playground, classrooms and canteens. Qin Rou parked the car outside and followed into the iron gate.

Before entering, I heard the loudspeaker on the playground playing:

"Little pine tree, grow up quickly! Green leaves, new shoots..."

"Little friends, grow up quickly! Like a pine tree, new shoots..."

The rhythm is catchy, this song is played brainwashingly, looping over and over again, Qin Rou is really familiar with this song.

The buildings here are not tall, and they are all two-story townhouses. The kindergarten is divided into several classes, all of which are classified according to age. There are many older children in this small kindergarten. There are five to six-year-olds in Class Four, four-to-five-year-olds in Class Three, three-to-four-year-olds in Class Two, two-to-three-year-olds in Class One, and a small class for one or two-year-olds.

Qin Rou sent the child to the third class. She met the teacher of the third class. She was a young woman with a ponytail. She had dark skin, beautiful facial features, a small nose and small eyes. She was coaxing the child, and the time had come A dozen or so children.

"Okay, darling, don't cry." The teacher's surname was Zhou. Hearing the child's crying at this time, his tone was a little impatient.

Qin Rou observed the classroom. It was very simple inside. Apart from the tables, chairs and benches, there were some crooked stickers, pictures and quotes from famous people on the walls.

When Zhou Yuhua looked up and saw Qin Rou, his expression was stunned. After learning that she was the parent who sent two children, he immediately smiled apologetically at her, "Can you help me watch the children here for a while, I have something to do over there."

"Help me coax the children, these children are very easy to coax."

Qin Rou nodded, and as soon as Zhou Yuhua saw that she agreed, she immediately put down the crying child and turned to go out.

She ran up to the second floor, hid at the corner and smiled, a familiar teacher saw her and immediately shook her head, "Are you kidding me again?"

Zhou Yuhua likes to play tricks on some young and beautiful matriarchs. She deliberately walks away and throws a bunch of children to her, leaving these young matriarchs at a loss.

A group of children started making a fuss, no one could stand it, they could only be laughed at.

Let her know the hard work of raising a bunch of children.

Zhou Yuhua doesn't like being a kindergarten teacher at all. She originally wanted to be an elementary school teacher, but she didn't pass the exam, so she can only become a kindergarten teacher. Being a kindergarten teacher is too hard. She has to take care of the children's eating and drinking, and she is exhausted every day To live, and to coax a bunch of bad kids.

Zhou Yuhua covered her mouth and snickered a few times. The female family member she saw just now, looking at her delicate skin and tender flesh, must have never taken care of children. She probably made her cry at the moment.

She deserves it, whoever made her look like a demon, who can seduce men, is probably the family member who came with the army.

Zhou Yuhua is very envious of these family members. The husband has a high salary and can support the whole family. As long as the wife takes care of the children, does housework, and manages the house well, she will not have to worry about food or clothing.

She also wants to find a military officer husband to marry, but she has to be in the navy, and she can’t find it. A small part of these family members are young and beautiful, have jobs, are teachers and nurses, and most of them are native wives brought from their hometowns. Son.

Zhou Yuhua felt that she was not as good as those young and beautiful women, but she was much better than the country wives, and she still had a job. Unfortunately, the man was blind and didn't like her.

"You said it was a nephew, maybe she came here to be a stepmother, or someone's sister-in-law."

— to seduce my brother-in-law.

Zhou Yuhua snorted disdainfully while speculating.

But at this moment, she heard someone calling her from behind: "Zhou Yuhua, why are you here?!"

Zhou Yuhua turned his head to look, and was immediately startled: "Director."

The director of the kindergarten, Wu Min, is a short woman with round glasses on the bridge of her nose. Although she is short in stature, she is quite imposing. There were many problems.

Before Wu Min was transferred, she had visited and investigated kindergartens of many state-owned enterprises. This time she was transferred to Lucheng to serve as the director of the kindergarten. She herself has the determination to reform.

Children are the flowers of the motherland, and early childhood education must not be ignored.

The younger you are, the more responsibility and patience you need from the teacher.

"You're so irresponsible!" Wu Min glared at Zhou Yuhua. This Zhou Yuhua was her main focus. She had discovered several times that Zhou Yuhua was deliberately lazy and ignored her children. She also liked to tease the beautiful matriarch...

"If something happens to the child, I'll see what you will do! Go back to your class with me..."

Zhou Yuhua had been scolded countless times by her, and she felt that this old woman just couldn't get along with her and didn't take Wu Min's words to heart at all.

In her opinion, what do three- and four-year-olds know? All the big children in the countryside are freed to run in the mountains, and not all of them can be fed. The big ones take care of the young ones, and they don’t need their parents to take care of them. Why do they need to go to kindergarten? What big things can happen

Zhou Yuhua followed Wu Min to the third class. She muttered to herself, and when she walked to the door of the third class, she thought to herself that those seductive women, who are beautiful and are used to coaxing men, can't deal with these children. There is an ugly face in front of the child, just wait and see her jokes.

She originally thought that she would hear the crying of children and the impatient voices of women scolding, but she didn't expect that the third class of kindergarten today was extremely quiet, and the quietness made her a little scared.

Wu Min raised her eyebrows and followed her in, just in time to see the children sitting obediently on two rows of small benches, with a beautiful young woman sitting in the front, the woman clapped her hands, the little guy They all sang in unison: "Little pine tree, grow up quickly..."

After singing, the children happily listened to the woman talk to them.

"I want to raise my hand, Sister Qin, do you see how well I sit!"

"We are all obedient and good children!"

"Sister Qin, come and be our teacher!!"

"This is my little aunt!!!"

When Qin Rou turned around, she saw Wu Min, the director of the kindergarten. When Wu Min saw her, her eyes lit up immediately, "You taught the children how to sing just now, everyone's attention is on you, how did you do it? "

Seeing the way she talked to the child just now, her expression, her tone of voice, Wu Min thought it was right.

Her voice is clear and sweet, and her tone of voice is particularly beautiful, just as beautiful as singing, which makes people unconsciously fascinated.

"You used to be a teacher, right? A primary school teacher?"

Qin Rou smiled and shook her head: "I have never been a teacher, I used to sing in the art troupe."

"Ouch!" The headmaster let out an exaggerated surprise, and said with emotion: "I think you are naturally suitable to be a teacher in our kindergarten!"

Qin Rou: "..." No, it is acquired.

When Wu Min, the principal of the kindergarten, knew that Qin Rou was a new family member from the neighborhood, he immediately kindly invited her to come to the kindergarten as a teacher.

"There are few suitable teachers. We are short of teachers here. You have good conditions. The children get along with you. To be a kindergarten teacher, you must have an affinity like you."

Qin Rou hesitated, saying that she had to think about it.

— Really want to be a kindergarten teacher in the 1970s

After she came to Qiongzhou Island with the army, she still has several choices. There can help her connect with local cultural organizations, join the Lucheng Local Song and Dance Troupe as a singer, or transfer to a primary school teacher. In addition, there are health nurses, Qin Rou reads After a few years of study, she is still a little educated. From the perspective of outsiders, it is not difficult for her to change to a nurse.

Sister Qin Rou married into a family of intellectuals. In the first two years, her brother-in-law was keen on literacy for others, so he pushed her to study for a few years.

But now, my brother-in-law's books are all thrown into the cesspit, and everyone doesn't pay much attention to study at the moment.

Seeing that she didn't agree, Wu Min, the director of the kindergarten, immediately guessed: "Your voice is so good, and your Mandarin is standard. Are you going to take the test of an announcer of the People's Broadcasting Station?"

Qin Rou froze for a moment, "Yes, yes."

Before marrying Lu Yan, she did plan to switch careers to become an announcer in Liao Province, but now she just arrived in Qiongzhou Island and has not yet figured out the specific situation, but she accidentally learned that an announcer is just being recruited here.

"I know they are recruiting people recently, so you can sign up for it. If you don't pass the exam, you can come to our kindergarten to be a teacher."
