Chapter 376: Birthday Banquet for Children
Wang Hongying is not unimpressed by what Zhou Chenghong's head teacher said, but she has her own opinions. It is precisely because of people like Zhou Chenghong who have no parents to rely on that they should let them manage their own money as early as possible, and learn to live, be in charge of the house, and manage their finances as early as possible. Like those children with parents, it is too late to wait until they grow up to be able to manage their money and property, and let them face the human feelings of society independently.
Although she saw that the child's homeroom teacher was pale, she didn't think about explaining. Because she understands it in her heart, but this mouth is clumsy, and she can't say it clearly, so it's better not to say it. However, she can't waste the kindness of the class teacher, and she sincerely said that she must communicate with the children and help them manage their money together.
When Zhou Chenghong returned to the welfare home, Wang Hongying called him to him and asked him: "Hongzi! I heard that you are going to invite your classmates to our family's buffet for dinner, do you invite some of your classmates or the entire class?"
Zhou Chenghong looked at the dean's grandmother with some uneasiness, wondering if the dean's grandmother was unhappy with his treat. Wang Hongying saw the child's uneasiness, and immediately comforted: "Grandma agrees to your treat, but this treat is also particular! Otherwise, you have inadvertently offended many classmates who don't know, and it's not a pity?"
Zhou Chenghong replied cautiously: "I have five classmates who get along very well, and I plan to invite five of them!"
"That's right! Grandma wants to ask: There seem to be more than 30 classmates in your class, right? Except for these five classmates, you don't plan to associate with the other classmates in the future?"
"Of course not!"
Zhou Chenghong didn't understand what the dean's grandmother said, and he still wanted to make more good friends! However, many classmates in the class were unwilling to talk to him, and he didn't dare to take the initiative to talk to them.
Wang Hongying smiled: "Since this is the case, are you willing to listen to grandma's arrangement?"
Although Zhou Chenghong didn't know how the dean's grandmother was going to make arrangements, he knew that the dean's grandmother really agreed to his invitation. Agree to his treat, then he doesn't have to do anything backtracking.
Originally, he was new to the school, and he didn't get along well with his classmates. Although some classmates didn't bully him directly, group activities such as skipping rope and playing games, it was clear that they didn't take him to play, which already made him feel very uncomfortable. If he clearly said that he would invite these classmates who were willing to play with him to dinner, but did not do it in the end, these classmates would look down on him, and they were afraid that they would be ridiculed by the whole class. In the future, no classmates will be willing to take him to play! As long as the dean's grandmother really agrees to his invitation, what if he listens to the dean's grandmother's arrangement?!
"Okay! I'll listen to you!"
Wang Hongying smiled and looked gentle, hiding the ability of her original hometown at all.
"Well, since you're willing to listen to grandma's arrangement, then we'll invite the whole class to participate under the pretext of your birthday, and we can't use the fact that you're earning money as an excuse. What do you think?"
"The whole class, please, then, how much does that cost?"
Zhou Chenghong began to count the money with his fingers, and Wang Hongying nodded his head in a funny way, "Don't forget it, this money is from grandma." Grandma has decided, it's time for Zhang Jin's birthday next, and his birthday is the same as yours, so invite his whole class to spend it together. In the future, all the children in our welfare home will celebrate their birthdays like this! Do you think it's good?"
When Wang Hongying asked Zhou Chenghong's opinion, she was also thinking that the children in the courtyard really didn't have a good birthday, and she followed the way of her hometown, a bowl of boiled eggs and longevity noodles was considered a birthday. Now that I think about it, this birthday is a bleak birthday for these children, and they need more blessings, even if it comes from their peers, than eating eggs and noodles silently by themselves.
"Also, in the future, every child in our hospital will have a birthday, and everyone will participate in it. Order a big cake on the side of the building, and all of us will share it, do you think it's okay?"
Zhou Chenghong didn't expect that the dean's grandmother was going to hold a birthday banquet for him, and the dean's grandmother meant that he and his younger brothers and sisters in the hospital would have such a lively birthday in the future. He grinned with his teeth: "Great! I'll tell Zhang Jin!"
As he spoke, he ran out, and then Wang Hongying wanted to explain to him, so that his five classmates who got along well represented him, and he didn't have time to invite other classmates, so he had to talk about it at dinner in the evening!
The next day, Zhou Chenghong's classroom was boiling, and a classmate who didn't even have a home wanted to invite everyone to celebrate his birthday. The classmates didn't believe it, but the head teacher also said in the class that it was true, and it was a birthday in the cafeteria in the Liu family building.
Zhou Chenghong's head teacher was very happy to know Wang Hongying's plan, and giving Zhou Chenghong a collective birthday could better allow him to integrate into the collective, instead of only associating with three or five, which was not conducive to his future growth. Moreover, the Liu family came forward to celebrate the child's birthday, which was also a message to his classmates, the children in the welfare home are not homeless and unattended, they are as spoiled as children with parents and families.
The children in the class sat at the front and back desks during recess, and they all asked each other:
"Liu Jun, are you going for Zhou Chenghong's birthday?"
"I want to go, but Zhou Chenghong didn't tell me himself, it was Zhao Qiang who said it, can it be counted?"
"Zhao Qiang and Zhou Chenghong get along so well, he must have helped Zhou Chenghong say it. Of course it counts! I'm going to go anyway, my mom has taken me to that buffet many times to eat, but I haven't eaten so many delicious foods, and this time I'm going to pick something I haven't had time to eat before. ”
"I've been there too, and I've just eaten three or four of them. This time, I'll take a little bit of everything, so I can eat a few more. ”
"Well, my uncle told me not to eat dessert at the beginning, because after eating dessert, I will be full immediately, and I will not be able to eat anything else. ”
"But I like to eat the tarts in it the most, what should I do?"
"That's stupid!
......
Because the buffet restaurant has the most customers on Saturdays and Sundays, it is definitely inconvenient to hold a birthday party. It is best to go to school late from Monday to Friday, and Zhou Chenghong's class is cleaned up on Tuesday afternoon, so you can leave school early. Their homeroom teacher arranged to leave school early on Tuesday afternoon, and took the students in the class to the Liu's cafeteria to celebrate Zhou Chenghong's birthday, and went early and returned early.
They came early, it wasn't peak yet, and there weren't many customers in the restaurant. However, the restaurant has used a moving screen to enclose a corner in advance, leaving a special space for children to eat, even if there will be more and more customers at the meeting, it will not affect the children's birthday.
