Chapter 49: The Beginning

In the season of red and willow green, the Red Eagle Art Kindergarten opened. The playground fenced off by the road, as well as the newly beautified first floor of the building, where various cartoon characters and fairy tale characters decorate the first floor of the building with joy, and even the playground fence more than one meter high is painted in colorful colors. On one side of the fence next to the roadside is the kindergarten art class schedule, and on the other side is the daily recipe. It's like a motionless billboard. Cars passing by on the road, pedestrians passing by here with nothing to do, will be attracted by this place and stop for a while.

The facilities inside are even more complete, and the uniform bedding is the cover of the animated characters, which makes the children like it very much. On one side of the sun is the children's classroom, and on the other side is the dormitory. Both sides of the corridor are decorated with lively and festive waves, and there is a place to display the works outside each class.

The fenced playground is covered with a green chemical fiber carpet, which is sponsored by Boss Xie. The whole kindergarten looks high-end and full of artistic atmosphere. The renovation of the kindergarten was done by Liu Hong's eldest brother Liu Fu and more than a dozen colleagues. They also had a long vacation there, and Liu Hong's renovation work solved the salary income of more than a dozen of them for several months.

Speaking of which, Liu Hong can also be regarded as having her back against the big tree to enjoy the shade. The materials in the warehouse of the unit, except for the decoration frame, were also given to Liu Hong, Liu Fu helped sell these materials, and bought back other materials used at a low price, as well as surplus, and added kindergarten things. After careful calculation, Liu Hong didn't pay much. Enrollment has already begun at the time of the renovation, so on the day of the official opening of the class, the number of children has exceeded Liu Hong's plan.

"Liu Hong, the seven classes in the kindergarten are full, what should I do if there are still a few children in the middle class who have nowhere to arrange?" Sister Dong said a little worriedly.

"The older children move up a few classes, and there are a few more places in the second preschool. Temporarily suspend the enrollment of new students, and be sure to attend the evening classes of art classes. ”

"Liu Hong, fortunately, she had this idea, otherwise she would have really lost her livelihood. ”

"yes, I didn't expect such a good response. Liu Hong said happily.

"That's the first art kindergarten in the city. By the way, the teachers' custom-made costumes have arrived. ”

"Okay, send it down during the lunch break and tell everyone to put it on in the afternoon. ”

"Liu Hong, such a beautiful sportswear, do I have to wear it in the kitchen every day?" In the afternoon, Xiao Fu asked with the pale green clothes.

"You have to wear it, I'm afraid of getting dirty and taking off my shirt when cooking, and you are also the image of the kindergarten." ”

"yes. It's better than my son's school uniform, and I'm really reluctant to wear it. Another aunt in the kitchen said.

"When it's cold, customize pink ones for everyone, see if you can wear them. Liu Hong laughed.

"Principal, the red one, the pink one is too rustic. Sister Dong thought and said.

"Then it's red, and then make the kindergarten logo bigger and print it directly on the back. ”

"Liu Hong, are you deliberately not, this small trademark is quite artistic, there have always been words on both sides of the eagle, if it is really printed on the back, it will not take us all to fly." ”

"Hey, you're about to fly now, Director Liu, the TV station is going to come over to interview you, and you're going to produce a program, and the National Day Art Festival has also left a place for our unit. Why don't you recruit students, but my grandson sent it over. Whether you take it or not, you must take it. The old factory director pulled a four or five-year-old boy into Liu Hong's office and talked to a few people.

"Old factory director, your grandson can be collected, and if there is no place, it can be put in my office. Director, what's going on with the interview?" asked Liu Hong.

"What else can happen, Liu Hong, your kindergarten has a reputation. The parents of your newly recruited children work at the newspaper, so you're about to make headlines here. ”

"Factory director, this is also a good command of the leader. Sister Dong laughed.

"Xiao Dong, what are you commanding, the factory is about to be yellow. It's all the result of your efforts, Liu Hong, the specific time and details will come over there tomorrow, and you will decide. My grandson will be handed over to you. ”

The old factory director left, and Sister Dong said with feeling: "The old factory director is not easy, this son and daughter-in-law have gone out to work, and the children will be thrown to their old couple, fortunately, he can take him to and from work, and the factory director's wife has not yet retired." Otherwise, who will take the child? ”

"Oh, I remember that the factory director's wife works in the hospital. Liu Hong asked.

"Well, busy. ”

"There will be no shortage of such cases, and our teachers on night duty must be patient and not lose their temper with the children. ”

"Liu Hong, you can rest assured about this, now that we are all shotguns, everyone is working hard. ”

On the outskirts of the provincial capital, a large private enterprise has just left work. Some of them went home from the factory, and some of them went to the dormitory at the back of the factory.

"Assistant Cheng, I'm not going out to socialize with the boss today, but I see that Driver Huang is preparing there. Several people from the dormitory chatted with Cheng Qing as they walked.

"I don't want to go today, I've been drinking this wine for a few days. Cheng Qing smiled bitterly.

"You, you just don't have a mouth, you eat and go to the banquet every night and are accompanied by beautiful women, why do you still have a stomachache. Do you miss your daughter-in-law?"

"While staying, I think that my daughter-in-law shouldn't have a stomach ache, and if it hurts, it hurts below. Another person joked.

"Brother Cheng, you've been living in the dormitory for a few years, why don't you go home. The daughter-in-law kicked you, it doesn't look like it, Brother Cheng is so suave, let's just say that which of the girls in the women's dormitory over there is not just waiting for Brother Cheng to be lucky. ”

"Get out! Cheng Qing said half-jokingly.

"Brother Cheng, you also have what I have, aren't we all animals who think with the lower body. If you don't go out with the boss, our brothers will have a drink tonight. Brother Cheng doesn't appreciate his face?" said the man angrily.

"It's okay to eat, I don't drink wine. If you drink it again, you will have to go to the hospital. ”

"It's boring, then you just eat, and our brothers will drink. ”

In a small hotel not far from the factory, an 18-inch color TV is playing popular songs. Cheng Qing and a few people had already sat down to eat.

"Boss, give me a good station, and I'll watch a TV series later. Said the drinker.

"Dude, there is no TV series on any station at this point now, wait for the news broadcast, which one you want to watch. ”

"Local station news, and then central station news, it's an hour away, brothers, hurry up and have a few drinks, let's go home and watch." ”

"It's boring, it's all a woman's business to chase TV series, let's just drink, and then go to karaoke and sing. ”

"Stop, I'm not going, I'm afraid to kneel on the washboard when I go home. ”

"My wife is strict! It's a shame for our old man. A man at the next table said half-drunkly.

"If you drink high again, your wife is strict with you, it's a happiness disease, and you don't necessarily think about it well, it's because your wife values you. ”

"I don't have a wife yet, I have no experience and no experience, drinking!"

While everyone was drinking, it was news time on the local station.

"Lao Cheng, it seems to be about your hometown. "Speaking to Cheng Qing at the same table.

"Isn't art kindergarten unique to provincial cities, but also in this small city. Cheng Qing, look at it, what's going on in your hometown. ”

"Go to the side, my hometown is not a deep mountain and old forest, and it takes three hours by train. Cheng Qing teased and glanced back inadvertently. What a familiar face.

Liu Hong on TV is being interviewed, and behind her are more than 20 kindergarten teachers in neat work clothes. The pale green half-sleeved shirt has an eagle embroidered on the chest, and the word red eagle is embroidered on both sides of the eagle's wings. The words eagle and red eagle with wings spread out occupy the entire screen. Then there was the image of Liu Hong, followed by more than two dozen teachers, and the children's performance.

This show is only a few minutes long, but the images on the screen occupy Cheng Qing's entire body and mind. It's been almost five years, he didn't have the face to go back to face Liu Hong and his daughter, through Boss Xie, he has always known about Liu Hong's news, and knows that she is busy with her own career. I have been to the dance hall since I was busy running a dance class, I was busy preparing an art kindergarten, and I was busy raising funds. He also knew that Yuanyuan would be in elementary school this fall...

The longer I am away from home, the stronger the longing becomes. But he didn't have the courage to go back, he used to be high, but now he and Liu Hong distanced themselves. In the past, it was Liu Hong who chased his footsteps, but now he can't catch up with Liu Hong's progress even if he is fast.

"Brother Cheng, there are a lot of beauties in our dormitory, why are you watching TV and having spring. Come, drink, go back and wave casually, the beauties are not in line for you to pick the slash. ”

", the dog can't spit out ivory, you're talking about a stallion not a serious man. ”

"Yo, Assistant Cheng is angry, and my brother punishes himself. A few people laughed, Cheng Qing also picked up the wine glass and poured three glasses of wine into his mouth in a row, and then put down the wine glass with a heavy heart. After a while, he felt that his stomach hurt so much that he couldn't bear it, and his face was pale and he fell to the ground in a coma.

Liu Hong only learned the news of Cheng Qing's hospitalization a day later.

"Sister Liu, Brother Cheng had surgery for a gastric perforation, and you were too anxious to get angry. I'll accompany you on the evening train. Boss Xie went out, otherwise he could have hurried in his car. Hu Min comforted Liu Hong while helping her pack her things.

"Hu Min, the bed you just redeemed, don't delay your business. ”

"Sister Liu, how can you have a head to make money, isn't it casual for us to be our own boss. Don't worry, tomorrow my sister-in-law will help me keep an eye on it, and the day after tomorrow I will not delay on both sides of the way. ”

"Thank you, otherwise I'd be in trouble with a black eye. ”

"Sister Liu, are you polite to me again, I can recognize you as a sister, Brother Cheng is also my brother-in-law, and my sister's business is my business. We'll leave when Yuanyuan gets out of school. ”
