"What will Niuniu do when she goes to school in the future?" I asked Li Pingping.
This is the most important thing at the moment.
"Let's ask the kindergarten near our house. Do you know? The reason why I chose to let Niuniu drop out of school just now was not because I was insulted by those people, in fact, I was used to being insulted, and I had heard it a hundred times worse than this, I didn't care anymore, I was afraid that Niuniu would be wronged there. I'm afraid that those people will go back and tell their kids, and then their kids will bully Niu Niu in the classroom. And the kindergarten near our house, I think, at least those parents will not look down on me, right? They will not let their children bully Niu Niu, right? After all, everyone is from all over the world, and they are all here to work hard, and it is not easy, and they will be more tolerant. ”
Li Pingping said to me with a wry smile.
I thought about it and felt that what Li Pingping said was right.
Ninety percent of the people living in urban villages are outsiders, and they are all at the bottom of society.
So the children in that kindergarten are also the children of these people.
Their parents are truly religious, and they do everything.
Although Li Pingping's peers rarely raise children, there are no peers of her to send children there.
But I think Niuniu must be more comfortable going to school there than outside.
But the problem is, the director of the kindergarten didn't agree to let Niuniu in at all?
It's not parental discrimination, it's principal discrimination.
How do you get in?
This seems to be more difficult to do.
"I'm going to beg her! Even if I kneel, I have to beg her to accept Niuniu!" Li Pingping said firmly.
......
In the afternoon, Niuniu slept, and Li Pingping held a basket of fruits in her hand to visit the old-fashioned kindergarten principal.
Director Chen.
I once saw it, and I should be around 50 years old, and my hair and clothes are always meticulous.
Likes to wear black and gray clothes.
It gives the impression that it is serious and not easy to approach.
I went with Li Pingping.
We arrived outside the door of the kindergarten in the urban village.
Kindergartens in urban villages, of course, are not in very good condition.
The facilities are old and backward, and they are far less upscale and modern than the kindergartens in other parts of the city.
Of course, that's why it's cheaper.
......
After waiting outside for an hour, Mr. Chen allowed Li Pingping and me to enter her office.
As soon as I entered the office of this Director Chen, it made people feel a sense of sincere fear and admiration.
Because the house was full of books.
On the walls, there are all kinds of famous sayings and aphorisms.
On the wall behind the desk, there is a huge work of calligraphy.
The dragon flew and the phoenix danced with the four big characters of "a righteous body".
Director Chen was immersed in writing a book, and when we went in, she didn't even look at it.
Just say, "I'll give you 5 minutes." ”
The reason why Li Pingping asked me to accompany me was because she said that the aura of this Chen Yuan Chang was too strong.
She couldn't help but feel ashamed.
It's like when you go to school, you face the dean.
In fact, when she was in school, Li Pingping's grades were still very good.
Therefore, the dean of academic affairs at that time was far less deterrent to her than this Principal Chen.
......
"Director Chen, I'm still talking about my sister's enrollment, could you please make it convenient?" Li Pingping said as she put the fruit she bought on the armrest of the sofa.
"Take it, are you bribing me!" Chen suddenly raised his head and stared coldly in the direction of me and Li Pingping.
Like two bolts of lightning.
It makes people tremble.
"No, no, it's just a little fruit, which shows my heart......" Li Pingping said with a little stammer.
"What a fool of myself? Playing the piano indiscriminately! Who do you think of me? Are you greedy? Are you snobbish? Do you see money openly? Tell you! You are looking at the wrong person! I have no other merits, that is, I am upright, that is, I am selfless, I am frank and unrestrained! Not to mention a few catties of fruit? I can't ask for a bottle of water or a tissue! So what are you doing now? Are you questioning my professional ethics? Are you tarnishing my personality?"
This big hat button, Li Pingping and I can't bear it at all.
Li Pingping felt like she was about to cry: "Director Chen, I really didn't mean that, I just hope you can agree to let my sister enroll, she is of kindergarten age, I know that my own career is not honorable, but she is just a child, she shouldn't be implicated like this because of me." ”
Chen Yuan Chang fiddled with the pen in his hand with his hand, and his tone was calm, without a trace of emotion: "I am not a ruthless person, but I just don't rub sand in my eyes! What I look down on the most in my life is the flies and dogs, that is, my personal morality is corrupt! Especially in the relationship between men and women, I am the most harsh, I think that whether it is a man or a woman, it is necessary to stand up straight and walk upright, and absolutely not do anything that is immoral." To tell you the truth, my husband and I have been married for 20 years, and we have always been kind and loving, not to mention such things as cheating and splitting legs, and we have not even quarreled once, and we have never blushed once! We are a well-known loving couple! So how do you think I can let your sister come to school with us?"
Speaking of this, Director Chen suddenly smiled contemptuously and looked at Li Pingping: "I said it was your sister, but who knows if it was your sister? Although our kindergarten is a little old and the facilities are not modern, this is the place where I have worked for many years, I have a strong affection for this place, I love every grass and tree here, I want to maintain the innocence of this place, and do not allow anything to damage the image of this place!"
This sentence is like a resounding slap in the face.
made Li Pingping's face flush suddenly.
I couldn't speak.
Seeing that Li Pingping was speechless, the pen in Chief Chen's hand turned faster.
Obviously, she enjoyed the feeling of educating others and making others suffer from their words.
The pen turned so fast that one didn't grasp it well, and the pen flew out and fell to the ground.
I hurriedly bent down and picked it up.
Under the desk, I picked up the fountain pen and respectfully placed it in front of Mr. Chen.
Li Pingping had nothing to say at this time.
As an entourage, I just wanted to say something more, but I saw that Director Chen pointed to his watch: "Okay, 5 minutes is up, my time is very precious, you guys go, don't waste any more money, as long as I am the head of this kindergarten for a day, there is no room for negotiation in this matter!"
With such a resolute attitude, what can we do?
I could only open the door and go out.
At the same time, we saw several people walking inside.
At first glance, he was a reporter from a TV station, because he was still holding a camera and a microphone.
I heard Director Chen say in a very embarrassed voice: "Look, I didn't want to be interviewed, you have to look for me? In fact, I've always been indifferent to fame and fortune, only burying my head in work, and being a diligent old scalper, I really don't want to be in the limelight!"
The reporter who took the lead smiled: "Hehe, you are a candidate for this year's top ten outstanding figures, we are naturally going to interview, this is the task of Taili, and the people of the whole city want to learn from you." ”
Then the door was shut, and no more voices could be heard inside.
Li Pingping and I looked at each other.
can only smile wryly.
This Chen Yuan Chang doesn't eat oil and salt, what can he do?
......
In the following week, Li Pingping could only buy textbooks, and at home, she used her spare time to teach Niuniu to recognize words and memorize multiplication formulas.
Li Pingping actually studied very well, and she had been admitted to a very famous university that year.
I only dropped out of school because of family changes.
Therefore, there is no problem in counseling Niuniu in terms of knowledge.
But when children go to school, they not only learn knowledge, but also meet friends and get in touch with the environment.
Niuniu has never been able to go to school, which has always been Li Pingping's heart disease.
And among them, I also saw the interview program with Director Chen on the TV station.
On that day, I was eating at a ramen restaurant, and on the TV wall opposite, it was broadcasting.
In the interview, the reporter praised Chen Yuanda.
Director Chen also seems to be modest, but in fact, he is very comprehensive, and he praised himself.
He said that he was an upright person, and he hated crooked ways the most.
His motto is "integrity", so although he is the head of a garden, he is strict with himself, he is serious and responsible for everything, and he is really tireless for the kindergarten work.
said that he pays the most attention to his family, how the family is harmonious and happy, and so on.
In short, it's pretty much the same as what Li Pingping and I said that day.
Just more detailed.
It's just a matter of making your image more lofty.
Let everyone see, this Director Chen is a model of both work and family.
She is a good leader at work, a good wife and a good mother in life.
At work, impeccable.
Morally, blameless.
That's not all, when the show was recorded, Director Chen also pointed to a basket of fruits in the camera.
That is, Li Pingping and I sent it that day, but we were in a hurry, and we didn't have time to take the fruit.
Before you came for an interview, someone came to my door and wanted to send in children who did not meet our requirements, but I sternly refused. Because that's my principle. I'm afraid that some people will say that I'm not close to people, because I care more about the sanctity of education! So I hereby advise those who try to go through my back door, please respect yourself! If you harass me again, you will bring shame on yourself! I will not save face for you!"
I was very upset when I heard this.
You Director Chen was interviewed, and it was just a matter of creating a noble image.
As for taking us as a typical example?
It's a bit excessive.
We are under no obligation to cooperate with you!
At the end of the program, the reporter asked: "Director Chen, this time you were selected as one of the top ten outstanding people in the provincial capital, if you are elected, it is very likely that you will be transferred to a kindergarten with better conditions, what do you think?"
In the camera, Director Chen looked very emotional: "In fact, I was elected as a model, but I refused, I don't want to fight for this, I always gave up my honor to others before." Because I work hard, it is out of dedication to education and love for children, not for fame and honor. But since everyone loves me so much, I am disrespectful and can only be ashamed of it. If elected, of course, it is an affirmation of my work, if you want to transfer me away, in fact, I am very reluctant, although our kindergarten conditions are not very good, compared to other kindergartens in the city are much behind, but I am all my efforts here, I have a strong feeling for every grass and tree, brick and tile here, I am full of strong attachment to every child here, I am really reluctant to leave. Of course, if the leader arranges me to another position, I will definitely work hard to complete the work. ”
And so far, the show is over.
After watching the show, although I can't tell where the show was badly filmed, I was just very depressed and angry.
I was so angry that I didn't even finish the ramen and went out.
It was noon, and I didn't have anything to do, so I just walked around.
Because I was always thinking about the kindergarten, before I knew it, I walked to the neighborhood of the kindergarten.
It's not the main entrance street.
It's the street at the back door.
Originally, I was just looking at it, but I stopped suddenly.
Because I found a man.
An acquaintance.
It's just that this acquaintance hasn't seen her for a long time, so at first, I didn't recognize her.
But I thought about it and finally remembered who she was.
Restaurateurs!
......
When I first arrived in the provincial capital, my first official job was as a waitress in a restaurant.
Tired, quite tired.
One person does the work of three people.
Get up early and be greedy for darkness, reluctant to give up day and night.
Bitter, quite bitter.
I don't even have a good place to sleep.
You can only live in a warehouse.
Accompanied by turnip and cabbage.
But that's not what makes me the most uncomfortable.
The hardest thing is the way this store is run.
Every morning, when I go to the morning market with the proprietress to shop, the proprietress only buys the cheapest, even the vegetables that have begun to rot and spoil.
The same is true for fish and meat, it is too long, and the vendors have to deal with it, and the proprietress does not care about it.
In the words of the proprietress, it doesn't matter if it stinks, when the time comes, add more seasoning, put more chili peppers, and the taste will be over.
That's not all, I also saw the boss put antidiarrheal powder in the dish.
The boss looked at me in surprise and said with a smile that this way the guests would not have diarrhea after eating.
The cooking oil in the kitchen is all dirty gutter oil.
The seafood in the restaurant looks big, but it is cheaper because the owner of the farm has added contraceptive pills to it......
All in all this is a black-hearted restaurant that opened my mind.
Of course, later, as I lived in the provincial capital for more and more time, I was not surprised by this kind of black-hearted restaurant.
For example, the Mao's restaurant where I used to buy wine and meat for my brother was as black-hearted as the restaurant I worked at before.
When I was working there, I was going to do it in a few months and then leave.
But when I went to ask for my salary, I was asked by the black-hearted boss lady to deduct my salary.
I couldn't get angry, and later, with the help of Sister Shui, I exposed this black shop on the Internet.
Her shop was closed.
When the doors were closed, I went out of my way to visit.
Even slapped the proprietress in the face.
After that, I never saw the proprietress again.
Unexpectedly, we met today.
When I saw her, of course, I had no intention of going forward to say hello.
Originally, everyone's well water did not interfere with the river water, and no one had to take care of anyone.
But I noticed something strange that I had to pay more attention to.
Because I found out that the restaurateur didn't come alone.
She was followed by a minivan.
The proprietress gestured with her hand, and then the pickup truck stopped at the back door of the kindergarten.
The car honked its horn a few times.
The door opened.
Several men in restaurant uniforms walked out.
The proprietress opened the cargo door of the pickup truck, and the men began to move things down from the compartment.
I can see it clearly.
There was meat, there was vegetables, there was fish, there was fruit, there was milk and some condiments.
It turned out to be a delivery to the kindergarten restaurant.
Children eat at noon in kindergarten, so the kitchen has to prepare a lot of food.
This in itself is not surprising at all.
But does the proprietress deliver to the kitchen of this kindergarten?
Thinking of what the proprietress did in the past, can the ingredients she sent clean and hygienic?
Can you eat it with confidence?
I deeply doubt it.
So I didn't go far, I just stood from a distance and watched.
After 20 minutes, the goods were moved.
The pickup van drove away.
The hostess hasn't left yet.
Then, I saw the head Chen come out the back door.
The proprietress saw it and greeted her very closely.
He also stretched out his arm and grabbed Chief Chen's arm.
The two talked and laughed and entered the kindergarten together.
The back door is closed.
I was deep in thought.
Although it is said that after some people do something wrong, they can change their minds and repent.
But there are many more people who have been taught repeatedly, and dogs can't change their.
From what I know about the hostess, she clearly falls into the latter category.
So although I didn't have any evidence, I instinctively felt that there must be something wrong with the ingredients she sent.
I thought that she had gone through the door of the housekeeper in the back kitchen to get the opportunity to deliver the goods.
After all, there are hundreds of children in the kindergarten, and the daily consumption is not a small amount, which is really a big business.
But now I see that the proprietress actually had a good conversation with Chen Yuanchang.
Obviously, it was Director Chen who agreed.
So, why did Director Chen agree?
Does she know if the boss lady has a bad deed before?
Why work with someone with such a criminal record?
Isn't this too irresponsible for the food hygiene of kindergartens?
Didn't Director Chen keep saying that he was the most responsible for his work?
With these questions in mind, I began to walk back.
"Huanxi, what are you thinking? I called you several times, but you didn't hear it?"
Hanako slapped me in the back.
"Oh, nothing. I turned to Huazi and said.
"Pingping, is there something on her mind these days?
"It's not because of Niu Niu's schooling. I sighed.
It's no secret anyway.
I told Huazi about the difficulties that Niuniu encountered in kindergarten.
"Those people are too much! How can this be? Isn't this delaying the child? Niuniu is so cute! Why look down on her!" Huazi looked indignant.
I could see that Huazi was really angry.
I also care about Niu Niu.
"You're still very interested in Niuniu?" I said to Huazi.
"Yes, I like children very much, because I didn't get taken care of by my parents when I was a child, and I thought, if I have children, I must treat them well! Huazi said a little shyly.
"Well, I believe you're telling the truth, but you and Pingping, I don't think it's a good fit. "I'm also being honest.
In fact, in the past few days, I have hinted at Li Pingping from the side.
Hanako seemed to be interested in her.
But Li Pingping was really as I thought that day, and she didn't mean that to Huazi at all.
In fact, not only to Huazi, Li Pingping is not interesting to any man.
After being hurt by love, although she always faces a lot of men now, she has given up on men.
