There is an additional playroom in the store, and the number of children has increased sharply. Li Mo feels that safety is a very important issue to consider.
The children are ignorant, they like to run around, and they tend to have some friction with each other. Although there will be adults watching from time to time, it is inevitable that there will be times when they will not be able to take care of them. Li Mo is afraid that if something happens to the children , her shop will also be in trouble.
Therefore, the safety of the children is very important. This playroom needs someone to watch over it to maintain order and safety. By the way, clean the recreation room and the playroom to keep the two rooms clean and tidy at all times.
This job only involves care and sanitation. You don't need to stay in the shop at night, so you can come in the morning and leave at night. Therefore, Li Mo plans to hire someone to come to work in the shop like going to work. She just needs to pay the salary every month.
This is much easier than buying Aunt Wu and Da Ni, and there are not so many worries, so Li Mo directly wrote a job recruitment notice and posted it outside the gate, asking people to come and apply for the job.
After posting the notices, people soon came to ask questions, and Li Mo interviewed them one by one.
Most of the people who came were women whose families lived in difficulties and wanted to find a job to earn more money.
Li Mo doesn't mind her status. Her requirement is that she be gentle, kind, and responsible. She can take good care of the children, and then keep the leisure room and playroom clean. Of course, she must be clean and tidy, and her image should not be shameful. .
According to this request, Li Mo interviewed many people. Some women were eliminated because they were not clean enough, some women were eliminated because they were not polite enough to speak, and some women were eliminated because they were not patient and careful with their children.
Li Mo interviewed for two days, but couldn't find a suitable one. On the third day, a woman came to apply for the job, and Li Mo thought it was pretty good.
The woman was about thirty years old. She was wearing coarse clothes. The clothes were very old, but they were washed very clean and her hair was neatly combed. She gave off a virtuous and neat appearance.
Li Mo felt very good when she saw someone at first sight, and asked her: "Do you have children?"
The woman nodded, "Yes, I have a son and a daughter. The son is ten years old and the daughter is seven years old."
Li Mo noticed that when talking about her children, the woman's eyes were gentle and happy. It could be seen that she liked her children very much and mentioned that they felt very happy.
Li Mo asked again: "Then your child usually does something wrong, how do you do it?"
The woman said: "Usually I let them stand by the wall by themselves, facing the wall for half an hour, and then I talk to them, tell their mistakes, and ask them to correct them."
Li Mo nodded in her heart.
She had asked this question to other interviewees before, and some of them replied: "If the child makes a mistake, he will remember it and he will never dare to make a mistake again."; Some women said: " Children, if they are not sensible, just talk to him."; Some women said: "My parents-in-law dote on the children, I can't control them, otherwise my mother-in-law will scold me."; Others said : "It's my family's job to take care of the children, and it's usually enough for the head of my family to beat me up."
Li Mo was not very satisfied with the answers of these people.
But this woman's answer is in line with Li Mo's temper. If it was Li Mo herself, she would not beat the children, but she would not pamper them too much. She would let the children realize their mistakes, and then talk to them Be reasonable and let them correct it next time.
Of course, coming to her to take care of the playroom is not for her to educate the children, and it is impossible for her to punish other people's children. It's just that what Li Mo wants to find is someone who has a correct attitude and perspective on children, so she will Ask this question.
Li Mo was very satisfied with the woman's appearance and attitude towards the child. Finally, Li Mo asked, "I wonder if you can tell me why you came out to find this job?"
The woman didn't answer immediately, but just pursed her lips, with a sad expression, "My family is in difficulty and needs money. The head of my family fell down while working. Now I am in poor health and need to take medicine to recuperate. The family has no income. It's very difficult, so I wanted to find a job to supplement my family, and when I saw you recruiting people, I came over and asked."
Li Mo nodded, and didn't say anything more on this topic, but said: "I need to find someone to watch over the children in the playroom, to ensure their safety and not to cause trouble, but children are not sensible , it is more difficult to communicate, and you may not listen to you, can you do this job well?"
After hearing the words, the woman pinned a bit of hair from her ears behind her ears, thought for a while, and didn't bluff, "I'll do my best, can you give me a try? If I can't do well, you can't use me." .”
Li Mo smiled, "Okay, I can let you have a try, first work for three days, if there is no problem, you can stay and work, come here every day when the shop opens during the day, leave when it closes at night, stay with me at noon Meals, a two-day holiday a month, five hundred Wen a month, what do you think, do it if you can."
The woman didn't expect that she could still get food and receive five hundred Wen a month, which is more than a man earns a month. Her eyes lit up and she nodded, "Yes, I will work hard."
Li Mo smiled, "I haven't asked you what your name is yet?"
The woman replied: "My husband's family name is Wang, everyone likes to call me Mrs. Wang."
Li Mo called her "Sister-in-law Wang", and then said: "Then you go back to prepare today and come over tomorrow morning to officially start, is that ok?"
Mrs. Wang said yes.
The next day when the shop just opened, Mrs. Wang was standing outside the door. Song Dashan had seen Mrs. Wang yesterday and knew she was here today, but he was still surprised, "Sister-in-law Wang, why are you here so early?"
Mrs. Wang smiled a little embarrassedly, "I thought about coming earlier to clean up the two rooms."
Song Dashan nodded, let Mrs. Wang come in, and then took her to the leisure room and play room to have a look. At Mrs. Wang's request, she gave her a broom and dustpan, and then she started cleaning seriously.
When Li Mo came over, she saw Mrs. Wang was staying in the playroom watching the children playing, sewing something with a sewing basket in her hand.
Li Mo walked up to her and asked, "Sister-in-law Wang, what are you doing?"
Seeing Li Mo coming, Mrs. Wang stood up and said hello to her, "Ma'am, you are here. I thought it would be fine for me to watch here. I can do some needlework while watching the children. I will make some rag tigers and rag dolls." Put it here for the children to play with, this cloth was given to me by Aunt Wu."
Li Mo nodded, "Okay, you can go to Mrs. Wu if you need anything, then you are busy." Said and went to the dressing room.
Mrs. Wang worked for three days, and Li Mo also observed for three days. Sister-in-law Wang is very gentle towards the children, able to make them obedient, and she is also hard-working. Sister-in-law officially stayed and started working.
With someone in charge of the playroom, the whole shop is officially on the right track. There are many things that Li Mo no longer needs to personally watch over. Li Mo is more relaxed and can work and raise her baby with peace of mind.
At this time, the footsteps of spring have come completely, and people have all taken off their thick cotton-padded jackets.
Spring is a season of revival and prosperity. The flowers in the village flower gardens are gradually blooming, and the materials for making balm in the shop no longer need to be picked in the village or the back mountain.
Meizi picked the blooming flowers in the garden and asked Zhao Changbang to send a message, and then Song Dashan drove the donkey cart to the village to bring the flowers back to make balm. It was better before.
And at this time, when the school began to recruit students, the matter of Xiaobao's schooling that Li Mo had been thinking about years ago was also on the agenda.
There is only one school in the town, called Yuyingtang. Li Mo inquired about it, and there are three masters in it, all of whom are scholars. It is divided into three classes, one of which is specially for the newly enlightened students, and the children in it are relatively young, which is suitable for Xiaobao to enter.
Li Mo rested for a whole day on this day, and took Xiaobao to Yuyingtang together with Song Dashan.
Seeing that Li Mo and Song Dashan brought their children to study, the gatekeeper of Yuying Hall took them to the place where the masters were preparing lessons, found one of the masters, and then left.
Song Dashan first bowed to his master, and asked Xiaobao to bow as well, and then said to his master: "Master, this is my youngest son. He is here to study, and I hope he will accept it."
The master looked at the chubby, white and tender little guy, secretly thought that the child looked too young, and asked Song Dashan, "Your child looks quite small, how old is it?"
Song Dashan replied truthfully: "I am five years old this year."
The Master frowned slightly, "Five years old? It's too young. The youngest here has to be six years old. We can't accept children who are five years old."
Seeing that the master really disliked Xiao Bao's age, Li Mo stood up, gave the master a blessing, and then said: "Master, my child is indeed a little younger, but he is no worse than those older children. He is very sensible and easy to learn. , staying at home will delay him, so we want to send him to the school to study early, and hope that the master can accept him."
Hearing Li Mo's words, Master became a little interested, stroked the beard on his chin, and asked, "Oh? So, your child has been enlightened?"
Li Mo nodded, "To tell you the truth, my child has indeed been enlightened. The little girl is not talented, so I taught him some things at home. He is very good at learning and very smart, but we are busy as a husband and wife, so we can't teach him well. , I just wanted to send him to the school to study hard.”
The master didn't expect that Li Mo could read and enlighten the child, and his interest became even higher. He turned to Xiaobao and asked him: "Son, can you tell the master what things you have learned?"
Little Treasure is not shy at all. When his master asked him, he replied seriously: "I can count, then do arithmetic, I can also do three-character scriptures, and I can recite poems. My mother taught me."
The master admired Xiaobao's attitude of being neither humble nor overbearing and not afraid of life, and couldn't help but patted Xiaobao's head, "Then can you recite the Three Character Classic for me?"
Xiaobao usually recites the three-character scriptures every day, and he opened his mouth at this time: "At the beginning of human beings, nature is kind... . . . "
Xiao Bao recited the Three Character Classic in one breath, without any pause in the middle, not fluently.
The way the Master looked at Xiaobao changed, he was no longer as careless as before, and his eyes gradually showed seriousness, "Then do you know the meaning of the three-character scripture you recited?"
Xiaobao nodded proudly, "I understand what my mother said to me, let me tell you. The meaning of human beings is good at the beginning: all people are good when they are born, but because of the process of growing up, they are all good." In the middle school, the acquired learning environment is not the same, and the temperament also has the difference between good and bad; if you don't teach, the meaning of sex is change... "
Xiaobao's memory and comprehension are very good. After Li Mo explained the meaning of the Three Character Classic to him, he memorized it all and understood it. There is no problem in asking him to explain it by himself.
Little Treasure's cleverness was beyond his master's expectation. He didn't expect a child who was only five years old to be so clever. You must know that some of the children who are studying in the academy now have learned knowledge for several years, and they are not yet so smart. Being able to memorize the Three Character Classic completely, some children can memorize it, but they can't understand the meaning in it. It is not as good as a little treasure who has never been to school.
The master became excited, and in order to understand Xiaobao's true level, he asked Xiaobao some arithmetic problems, but Xiaobao answered them quickly and correctly, and the master nodded in satisfaction.
In the end, the master felt that he had found a good seedling, and secretly thought that such a smart child really couldn't let him delay at home, so he no longer cared about Xiaobao's young age, and agreed to accept Xiaobao.
Li Mo and Song Dashan looked at each other with smiles in their eyes.
Xiaobao was formally accepted by the master, and asked him to go back and prepare, and he could come to school tomorrow.
Li Mo handed over Xiaobao's one-year bundle of repairs to his master, and then brought Xiaobao home.
Back home, Li Mo took out the small schoolbag he made for Xiaobao, put some pens, ink, paper and inkstones in it, put in Xiaobao's usual arithmetic stick, and finally put some snacks in it , then pulled Xiaobao into his arms, kissed his forehead, "Xiaobao, from now on you will go to the school every day, you have to listen to your master and study hard, mother and father will send you there , we will pick you up after you finish school, so why don't you just stay in the academy obediently?"
Xiaobao blinked, and said sensible words in a childlike voice, "Okay, mother, I will study hard from my master, mother, don't worry."
Li Mo's heart was about to melt, and she kissed him again, "My baby is so good!"
Xiao Bao straightened his small chest.
"Baby, you will have to say your name in school from now on, you know? When people ask your name, you just tell others that your name is Song Yifan, you know? You can't still use your nickname."
"Mom, I know, my name is Song Yifan, you can't call me Xiaobao, Xiaobao can only be called by you."
"Yes, it's great!"
The next day, Li Mo and Song Dashan personally sent Xiaobao to the school and handed it over to the Master. They watched as the Master brought Xiaobao into the small classroom and arranged for him to sit on a table in front.
Xiaobao couldn't help turning around, and found Li Mo and Song Dashan standing outside the window, waved to them, and smiled cutely.
Li Mo also waved his hand, and then signaled him to read the book carefully.
Xiaobao nodded, turned around and obediently put his small schoolbag on the desk, took out the contents, and placed them on the table one by one, then straightened his back and looked at the podium with a serious and obedient look .
Li Mo laughed.
Afterwards, the master began to attend class, and Xiao Bao followed the master to study seriously. Li Mo felt relieved, and then followed Song Dashan home.
