Chapter 1031: Collective Life on the Big Banyan Tree
As soon as the yellow-haired boy heard Lan Piao's words, the corners of his mouth drooped at a greater angle, his eyes purred, and he imagined that he was wandering on the streets before, free and easy, without any need to study.
Not every child is a learning material.
However, thinking of the delicious meal he ate when he went back in the evening, the yellow-haired boy touched his stomach and decided to give in and honestly go back to complete the calligraphy practice homework assigned by the little green head as soon as possible.
When these children go to school, they don't have to toss their own lunch, and among the children who live in the same plant nursery and the older children are given many tasks to take care of the younger children.
For example, take the voucher provided by the little green head and go to a plant gym to collect money for their tuition and lunch.
In this way, they do not need to worry about the basic living guarantees of three meals and clothing.
Lan Piao took Ding Li's thin but rough hand, glanced at Liu Mingdao, and reminded him like an elder brother: "Don't think that now that you have food, drink and a place to sleep, you just don't care about anything." Those of us who have no one to rely on can only rely on our own desperate efforts to get rid of the hard life we used to have. During this time, you can't read or read, do you want to go to the streets to pick up garbage after you are eighteen years old?"
"It's also very profitable to pick up garbage. Liu Mingdao was stubborn, although he had already agreed with Lan Piao's statement in his heart, he was still hard-mouthed.
"Brother Piao, I want to study hard. On the contrary, it was the young Ding Li, who looked up at the black and thin little face, and couldn't wait to say.
The six-year-old boy, who has been in the plant-based nursery for less than a week, has not yet been freed from the nutritional deficiencies caused by his previous hunger, although he has received nutritious food every day.
And Lan Piao and the yellow-haired boy Liu Mingdao, although they have only lived in the plant nursery for more than a month, under the scientific, reasonable and delicious diet of the little green head, the flesh on the cheeks of the two has grown, and they finally have a little more childishness that children of their age should have.
Although Xiao Ding Li is still in kindergarten, he has already learned the simplest Chinese and mathematics knowledge with the basic education teachers specially hired by the Plant Baby Garden.
Nowadays, there is a huge difference in educational resources between urban and rural areas.
Many children of the same age in urban areas have already participated in the cultivation of hobbies in many fields such as language, music, and art at the kindergarten level, while in areas where educational resources are scarce, even a solid basic education cannot be guaranteed.
A group of three of them, talking and chatting, took about ten minutes to walk to the Lannie Botanical Baby Garden, which they had already regarded as their home.
Directly opposite, there were three girls of similar age to them, wearing uniform short-sleeved school uniforms and carrying school bags, and also walked under the big banyan tree.
These three girls are also residents of Miss Lanny's Botanical Baby Garden.
They moved in one after another and were arranged to study in another school, similar to Lan Piao, Liu Mingdao and Ding Li, who went to and from school together.
"Hey, Ah Piao!" The tallest girl, with a mushroom head cut, bangs, an ordinary face, and a thin body, saw Lan Piao and the three of them, and waved hello.
This girl's name is Gong Xiaoyue, the third child who moved in after Liu Mingdao, Lan Piao saw her for the first time, originally thought it was a boy of the same age, but he didn't expect that this kid who was dirtier than him was actually a girl after being cleaned by the pink ear tail grass.
Listening to her, she was one year older than Lan Piao, her parents were gone, and her foster relatives were viciously abused, she escaped and wandered to Qinghe City.
These children, living in the old banyan trees of the weeping forest, unconsciously form a collective. When arranging tasks, the old banyan usually gives some of the tasks of caring for other children to the older children, so that they can act as caregivers.
Gong Xiaoyue is the caregiver of the other two younger children, just as Lan Piao is the caregiver of Liu Mingdao and Ding Li.
"Little bow, hurry up the tree, hurry up and have dinner, and the teacher will come over in a while." Ah Piao doesn't know if there are too many tasks, and his personality has also undergone some changes, unlike the previous attitude of ignoring other things and standing by, he learned to take the initiative to take care of others.
These children, usually after half past seven in the evening, return to the old banyan in the weeping forest.
Because before that, the children that the old banyan of the weeping forest was in charge of caring for during the day had not left. When school ends early in elementary school, they usually spend time in the school's open reading room, finish their homework, and then come back together.
There is a half-hour time difference between the latest time when the baby in the daytime care is picked up and the earliest time Lan Piao and they enter.
In half an hour, the internal structure of the old banyan tree in the weeping forest was transformed into a single room suitable for these children.
"What's going to eat tonight?"
"I like pork ribs, such a big piece of meat, braised pork ribs, so delicious!"
"I want strawberries and I want today's after-dinner fruit to be strawberries. ”
"Didn't you just eat strawberries the day before yesterday?"
"I just like it, can't I?"
They were divided into two groups, sitting in the big hanging basket of the old banyan of the weeping forest, chatting with each other, and returning to their old banyan home.
They were greeted by a little green head with a cauliflower head on top and a little taller.
"Wash your hands openly, dear little darling!"
The little green head's tender voice, when he shouted this sentence, was particularly interesting, making these six children grin unconsciously.
Originally, they could have gone back to their rooms to eat.
However, since the arrival of the basic education teacher, there has been an additional public classroom in the old banyan tree in the weeping forest, and they have all used this classroom as a canteen for mealtime.
Every time it is time to eat, they will fight and eat lively, and they will exchange their favorite food with each other, and then they will be punished by the little green head for copying books in the name of picky eaters.
But they're just happy.
After dinner, even the youngest Ding Li took the initiative to take the plate of the disc and go to the bathroom to clean the dishes.
At 8:25 p.m., Ou Jiaqing, a basic teacher in a simple yellow dress, took out the green leaf pendant she carried with her, and gently touched it on the trunk of the old banyan tree in the weeping forest.
Ou Jiaqing looks to be in her thirties, with bright eyes, thick black eyebrows, a straight back, strong arm muscles, and looks very energetic, smiling slightly, and has a special affinity.
Ou Jiaqing's parents are both soldiers, and she has been in the army for many years. More than a month ago, when I received this task, I gladly agreed to use my evening time to work part-time on the big banyan tree and become a basic education teacher in Lanni's Plant Baby Garden.
As for some tasks that were not known to outsiders, Ou Jiaqing did not tell these children, but carefully observed every detail of this plant space tree that sheltered the stray children.
"Hello Mr. Ou!"
"Teacher Ou, good evening!"
Ou Jiaqing walked into the public classroom, and the children waved hello to her.
It was the only room she could enter here except for the bathroom.
And the children's private domain bedroom, she is inaccessible.
She will work here for an hour to help children tutor and solve academic problems, especially children like Liu Mingdao, who have missed basic education for several years.
