Worked in a nursery for a few days. Liu Hong got used to it, and also figured out the general temper of the nine children. The children are also very fond of this person who is just like their mother.

Yuanyuan also adapted to life over there, and every morning when Liu Hong put her into the cot and went to work, she seemed to know that her mother would come back in a while, and she stared with big eyes without crying or making trouble. I fell asleep quickly after feeding in the morning, and I didn't need the nursery staff to shake the two curvature legs below. I will also wake up on time at noon and watch my mother eat while feeding.

The only unsatisfactory thing is that the weather is getting colder and colder, and there was a heavy snowfall after the New Year, although Liu Hong came out very early that day, and the car was also stop-and-go, and finally Liu Hong had to hold the child and get off the car and walk two stops. I was still late when I arrived at kindergarten. The dean said worriedly.

"Liu Hong, you better go back and rest for a few days. ”

"Principal, I've just won the likes of those little guys, and Yuanyuan has just adapted to the environment here, I really don't want to give up halfway. ”

"Yes, adults can say that they have the ability to adapt to the environment, but children are afraid of repeated changes in the environment. Today, the aunt's house in the kitchen is too far away to come, so you can go to the kitchen to help make two meals for the children. ”

"Thank you, Director. Liu Hong said sincerely. The only time in the kindergarten is the kitchen, where the cooking aunts sometimes go to work after buying the day's dishes. Liu Hong knew that this was the dean's help in disguise.

"Liu Hong, in the morning, I will make the milk powder for the children, and then distribute the biscuits according to the number of children reported by each class, and each class will have more and more wealth. The aunt in the kitchen smiled and said to Liu Hong.

"Aunt Qin, I know. And then isn't it just washing vegetables and cooking? ”

"You don't have to be in a hurry, after eating breakfast, the children should go to class and activities, and it's almost time for you to breastfeed. Today is to eat steamed buns, and you come back just in time to wrap them with me. I'll prepare the stuffing myself, and the noodles were served last night. Your Aunt Su's house is far away, and you have to reverse the car for a while. The heavy snow and rain usually come very late, and sometimes I just ask for leave. "Aunt Qin is a very talkative person, chattering with Liu Hong.

It snowed heavily all day, and Aunt Su also took three days off. Liu Hong also cooked for the children in the kitchen for three days, and only then did she know that Aunt Su's cooking skills were very good, and she was also a relative of the principal, so she could often ask for leave. Someone else should have been returned to the workshop a long time ago.

The winter of that year was very cold, and it snowed several times, but there was no sign of civilization, far from when Liu Hong was old, the snow melted soon after it fell, and there was only a thin layer of ice on the road.

Every day, Liu Hong gets up early to cook, and then fills a big lunch box with rice divided into two meals, cuts half a box of sauerkraut and a few pieces of fat, puts the condiments in the unit and steam it in a steam pot, and the rice is placed in the kindergarten and warmed, which is the noon meal. I fried a bottle of egg sauce from home and ate it with rice in the morning. It was almost six o'clock when he went out to take the car, and Cheng Qing hadn't woken up at that time.

Cheng Qing also started to go to night school, and sometimes came back to read. There are more times when I come back on time at night, and the family life of the couple is also plain. Both of them are working hard for their own goals, and the unhappiness of the past seems to have been overturned.

"Liu Hong, the teacher of the kindergarten class has taken leave today, and you go over for a day. ”

"Liu Hong, the teacher's sister-in-law in the middle class gave birth to a child, you go to the middle class for a few days to teach for a few days, this is a lesson plan. ”

"Liu Hong, Aunt Xiaotoban didn't come, you can watch your daughter for a day today. ”

"Liu Hong..."

These days, Liu Hong feels that she is on the mahjong table, where there is a shortage of people, from her small class to the large class to the nursery kitchen.

"Director, when you ask for leave, I will also sit in your office for a day. A week before the Chinese New Year, Liu Hong said to the principal with a smile.

"Liu Hong, you have fulfilled me at work, and when you don't come, the person who runs from shift to shift is me. You can't be busy for a few days, the admission form of this normal school has been retrieved, you fill it out here, and I will send it to the factory leader for review and seal in the afternoon. There are still ten days left after the New Year, so you can rest and go directly to the school to report and study in March. ”

"Really, thank you, principal, you are really my sister. ”

"Empty-headed, she wasn't your sister before. Speaking of which you are willing to learn, or I am still embarrassed, I was reluctant to go before, and now there are several people who want to go to the workshop, and this place has changed from two to one, of course, the kindergarten teacher is preferred, and I don't know anyone in the workshop, and I can't say if I can do it in our factory and mine kindergarten when I come back. In the annual evaluation and assessment of the Education Commission, we all lose points because of this piece. The principal said helplessly.

"Principal, you are a model of dedication. Liu Hong praised sincerely.

"Liu Hong, this is not false to you, our files are still in our respective schools, and we will all go back sooner or later, I think the Education Commission also took this into account before opening this short-term refresher course. Liu Hong, study hard, you won't learn in vain. ”

"Principal, I know, and I still want to thank the principal for giving me this opportunity to learn. ”

"It's also a chance, if you take winter vacation, you won't have anything to do. ”

"Principal, I am grateful to Yuanyuan for saying this, if it is not for her to earn more money, I will not come back to work. ”

"Liu Hong, you are really turning your face faster than turning the book. Hurry up and fill out the form and then you still go to the small class today, these days the workshop is in a hurry, those few mothers who often work overtime, the children are almost all in the primary class, I have asked a teacher to come to work in the afternoon, and in the evening I will wait for the mothers to finish the work and then go home. ”

"It's Teacher Li, her home is closest to the factory. Just cross the street and you'll be home. ”

"It's her, I don't know what time it will be when the workshop is working overtime, and others have to take a car when they go back, and it's too late and inconvenient. While Liu Hong and the director were talking, the power in the factory was cut off.

"Why is there a power outage again, when will it come? The principal said and went to the various classes to arrange.

Speaking of which, the whole factory is a four-story factory, but the kindergarten is a bungalow that was built later. There are classrooms and dormitories, a children's bathroom, a washroom, a separate kitchen at the back, and a large large courtyard with swings and slides in the yard. It's good that the light is partially blocked by the workshop, and the light in some classrooms dims as soon as the power goes out.

After lunch, the children's mothers came to pick up the children one after another. Because there will be no electricity supply on this day. Liu Hong remembers that the power supply in those years was very tight, and some unimportant units took turns to limit power. Power outages were also a regular occurrence in those years or two.

"Liu Hong, you and a few teachers from far away should go back first. Hold the child and leave early, and the car can sit better. The principal watched the dwindling number of children and gave some of the teachers orders to leave work.

"Thank you, principal!" Liu Hong and a few teachers said warmly.

"Don't be vain, go to work on time tomorrow, leave late today and go to work half an hour later tomorrow. The director said half solemnly.

"That's better than squeezing a car, too. Liu Hong and a few people laughed and left the factory.

The car was very free, and Liu Hong didn't use other passengers to give up her seat for the first time, so she had a good seat. The windows of the car were covered with thick frost flowers, like grass branches, clouds, abstract paintings. Liu Hong watched, and Yuanyuan also watched. She didn't know what else was in the child's eyes other than the white frost. Liu Hong's heart is full of memories and emotions.

After many years, it is almost impossible to see such a scene carved out by nature, the world is warming, and there is no longer enough snow to survive. In winter, there is no need for heavy cotton clothes and cotton pants, but instead of a variety of warm clothes. The boys are still handsome, and the girls are no longer bloated. After the Spring Festival, there will be people who want to have a demeanor but not a temperature, a woman who wears a plush coat without buttons in a single stocking, a miniskirt, a plush coat, and a handsome man who wears leather shoes with his feet and neck exposed under cropped pants.

Liu Hong just got out of the car and saw her mother-in-law coming back from grocery shopping, it was also the New Year, and her mother-in-law's wholesale point was not so busy.

"Red, why did you get off work so early. ”

"Mom. The unit has a power outage, and I still came back late, and the workshop has already left work. ”

"Then you go to the front building for a while, you are so busy, your sister and I haven't seen Yuanyuan for a long time, we will eat together in the front building at night, the object of the fourth child, and the object of your sister are coming. I was thinking of going to you at night. ”

"Mom, then I'll put the child in the front building first, you and my sister will help watch it for a while, and I'll go back and clean up properly." ”

"Go ahead, it's getting up early in the morning and getting back from work with the child in the morning. Go back and clean up, and come over to help with the cooking when you're done. ”

The corridor is quiet, and I can only see the shadow of the neighbors or the sound of quarrels on Sundays when I go to work during the day. As soon as Liu Hong reached the fifth floor with half a flight of stairs, she vaguely heard the voice of her own house. Her heart tightened, this is about to be the New Year, isn't it a thief at home.

Liu Hong lightly took out the key to open the door, but found that the door could not be opened, and her heart was even more afraid. There was no movement in the room.

One circle, two circles, twisted left and right, the door just can't be opened. Liu Hong also calmed down from the initial nervousness, and the door lock was locked inside, which was also the advanced point of the anti-theft door at that time.

"Open the door, I know there's someone inside. Open the door, if you don't open the door, I'll have to call someone. Liu Hong screamed loudly as she knocked on the door vigorously. There was still no sound inside, and just when Liu Hong was thinking about whether to go to the front building to call someone over, the door was opened from the inside, and Cheng Qing asked with a gloomy face.

"Why did you leave work so early. The object of the former sister Lou and the object of Cheng Lei both came to the house for dinner today, you go to help first, and I will go later. ”

"Cheng Qing, I still have to ask you, aren't you still at the time to get off work, why are you at home, and you have locked the door?"

"I didn't lock it, you were stupid and didn't open it. ”

"Cheng Qing, what about your pastime, I won't be able to open the lock of my own house. Liu Hong said and saw one in the house from the gap between Cheng Qing and the door. The round table next to the bed revealed a purple corner of clothes, and the depths of my memory instantly surged like a riverbank that opened the floodgates.
