Chapter 101: Adele's Daily Life (Part II)

"Mom, I want to eat muffins. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info "Adele was thinking about it when little Ella, who woke up, ran over.

"Why did you run out without shoes, get in." Seeing that little Ella ran barefoot into the flower room in her pajamas, Adele hurriedly drove her daughter back to the house. Although there is heating, the sunroom is not carpeted like at home, and running barefoot around will definitely catch a cold.

Back in the house, Adele took little Ella's hand and went to the kitchen. Mary, the maid, is preparing afternoon tea and snacks, and the muffins in the oven are exuding a rich aroma. Little Ella swallowed and stared at the oven as she waited for the muffins to come out.

"It's going to be a few minutes away." The experienced Adele judged at a glance when the muffins would come out, "Let's go freshen up first, and we'll be ready to eat when we come back." ”

"Mary, I want hot chocolate today." Before leaving the kitchen, little Ella did not forget to tell Mary: "There is also marmalade, the marmalade I ate in kindergarten the day before yesterday is delicious." ”

By the time Adele had finished washing Ella's face, combing her hair, and changing her clothes, Mary had already prepared her afternoon tea. Ella climbed into her little chair and couldn't wait to start spreading marmalade on the muffins.

"Slow down, don't choke." Adele handed over the hot chocolate at just the right temperature, and said with a smile: "What a little gluttonous cat, I've never seen you like orange jam so much before." ”

Two days ago, on the recommendation of her neighbor, Mrs. Donaldson, Adele chose a private kindergarten for little Ella. After a personal inspection, Adele was very satisfied with the geographical location, environmental facilities, and teachers and students of this kindergarten, so she sent little Ella to audition for two days.

Before going to kindergarten, in order to prevent Ella from crying, Adele thought of a lot of ways. Many days in advance, I started to teach my daughter how to have fun in kindergarten, there are many toys and good food, and there are many children who can play together. In short, the success aroused my daughter's interest in kindergarten.

On the first day I went to kindergarten, little Ella did a great job. Even if it was the first time she left her mother (in fact, Adele had been hiding from the side to observe her), she didn't cry or make trouble, but had a lot of fun, which made Adele breathe a sigh of relief.

The problem came the next day, when Adele woke up little Ella in the morning to get ready to go to kindergarten, the little guy asked her in surprise: "Kindergarten, didn't I just go to yesterday?" She used the kindergarten as a playground, and John laughed for a long time when he heard about it.

Fortunately, little Ella is a very outgoing child, which is not very different from John and Adele. Although she complains about waking up early on a cold day, she doesn't hate going to kindergarten. After auditioning for two or three days, Adele was finally relieved and decided to wait until next spring to start officially sending her to kindergarten.

Originally, everything was going well, but a small incident happened recently that made Adele have a pimple in her heart. After dinner that day, Adele accompanied her daughter to play with toys in the bedroom. The little ones put all kinds of dolls in a row on the carpet and pretended to be a doctor to treat them.

Seeing that little Ella was carrying a toy stethoscope and holding a "small medicine bottle" with a serious little appearance, Adele couldn't help but tease her. "So many children are sick, who will Dr. Ella show first?"

Adele originally thought that little Ella would choose her favorite doll, or the toy dog at the front of the line. Unexpectedly, little Ella picked a piggy bank in the middle of the team. She took the piggy bank in her hand and shook the coins inside. "Oh, the little pig has a bad stomach, so I have to take medicine quickly."

"Why do you want to treat the piglets first?" Adele asked curiously.

"Because the little pig is a rich man." Little Ella replied without raising her head, as if she despised her mother for not even understanding such a simple truth.

At the time, Adele thought it was quite cola. But afterwards, the more she thought about it, the more unpleasant it became. Who instilled such a mature idea of "rich people come first" to little Ella, and there is only kindergarten when you think about it. Of course, kindergarten teachers will definitely not teach this, but not necessarily when children communicate with each other.

Adele chose a kindergarten for her daughter, which was aimed at the wealthy, and most of the children in it came from the families of government officials and business executives, which was unusual in 1938. Although John was a child, major cities in the United States had already established public kindergarten systems, and there were many private kindergartens. But when the kindergarten system in the United States was first established, it was aimed at a large group of immigrants. The aim is to assimilate the descendants of immigrants and to guide children with different cultural backgrounds to get along with each other from an early age.

Moreover, whether it is a public kindergarten run by the government's education department or a private kindergarten run by various churches and charitable organizations, the vast majority of students are children of the urban poor and the working class. After all, in this era, as long as the family has a little economic foundation, women generally do not come out to work, and have a lot of time to raise children, so there is no need to send them to kindergarten.

Adele worries that early exposure to society will have a bad impact on little Ella's psychological growth of values. She called John to tell him about that concern. John didn't care too much about that. "The rich come first", this is the truth in the United States! Little Ella is just a childlike and unintentionally told the truth.

John told Adele that he had inquired about the kindergarten himself, and that the director was said to have a background in the American Academy of Education and the University of Chicago, and was an authority on child psychology and behavior. John felt comfortable handing over Ella to her. Besides, children are mainly influenced by their parents when they are so young. As long as John and Adele sit upright, little Ella's "three views" can't be crooked. Sooner or later, the child will have to come into contact with society, so do you keep her in a cage like a canary?

After hurriedly reassuring Adele, John hung up the phone, and didn't even bother to explain to Adele what the "three views" were. Towards the end of the year, he already had a lot of work in the Military Production Committee, and FedEx and Hughes Aircraft Company still had a lot of year-end assessments, summaries, and next year's plans waiting for him to make a decision, and he was already eager to split himself into several pieces.

What makes John most upset is that he doesn't know who he has offended recently, and some people have stirred up trouble in the Military Production Committee, spreading rumors that he has used his position to help his company (Hughes Aircraft) seek military orders, and has also threatened to go to Congress to file a complaint and hold a public hearing.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, not to mention such an oily and watery organization as the Military Industry Production Committee, who is blushing when he sees him making money. John didn't pay much attention to it at first, he knew very well that there was no insider trading in the order for the D-2 aircraft, and he didn't sue anyone at all.

But things were far from being as simple as he thought, and the gang didn't even sue, and they knew that if they didn't win, they would continue to spread slander and ruin the reputation of John and Hughes Aircraft Company. At present, this matter is only circulating in the aviation manufacturing industry, and if it spreads to the society, I am afraid that even the image of FedEx will be affected.

John has been in a hurry for the past few days, and his gums are swollen. "Don't let me find out who it is, or I won't have the surname Vanderbilt if I don't kill you!"
