The gate of the nursery is the same as that of other small courtyards, and it is also a fence gate made of a thick tree trunk with a bowl mouth, which is about one person high. At this moment, the courtyard door is closed.

Luo Ahua stepped forward and reached out and tapped the door: "Is there anyone?"

"It's coming. A woman in her forties came out of the ear room next to her. She should be washing something, and while quickly rubbing her hands on the blue apron tied around her waist, she walked over quickly, and asked through the fence, "Deputy Camp Master Luo, why are you free to come to us today?"

Shen Jiumei heard the prestige in the past, the mother-in-law has not cultivated, nor has she practiced boxing and legs, according to Luo Ahua's previous statement, this mother-in-law should not be a disciple of the female camp.

Luo Ahua replied with a smile: "Mother Chen, I brought three guests to visit our nursery school. ”

"There's a guest coming, welcome. Mother Chen also saw Shen Jiumei and the other three behind her, pointed to the ear room and said with a smile, "Deputy Camp Master Luo, please go to the house to register first." I'll invite three guests in. ”

"Okay. Luo Ahua responded, turned around, and introduced to Shen Jiumei and the others, "This is the rule of the nursery school, no matter who enters, you must register your name in the gatehouse when you enter the courtyard." Jiu Niangzi, please wait a minute, I'll go and register my name first. I'll be right back. ”

"There is labor. Shen Jiumei replied with a smile, but it was very strange in her heart: the dignified deputy head of the women's camp arrived, and a mother-in-law who guarded the door actually talked about the rules and stopped people at the door? Is Ah Hua too nice and approachable, or are the rules of the women's camp really so indiscriminatory?

She decided to wait and see.

Luo Ahua waved her hand and walked towards the gatehouse from the outside.

And Chen's mother also walked back to the concierge quickly. Then, the small black oil door outside the porter opened. Her voice came from inside: "Deputy Camp Master Luo, please come in." ”

Not long after, Luo Ahua and Chen's mother came out of the gatehouse together and appeared behind the courtyard gate.

"I'm sorry, the three guests have been waiting for a long time. Chen's mother opened the courtyard door as she spoke, "This is our rule here, please forgive me." ”

Luo Ahua also helped her. As he spoke, the courtyard door opened.

"Nine Niangzi, Aunt Qian, Miss Qian, please. Luo Ahua stretched out her hand and asked.

Shen Jiumei thanked the three of them and entered the courtyard gate.

Behind her, Chen's mother closed the door again.

Shen Jiumei looked around the courtyard. Unlike the outside, there are traces of children in many places in the clean courtyard. For example, the lower part of the wooden courtyard wall is full of children's painted ducks, and on the porch and in the open space, there are some wooden knives, wooden swords, puppets, small leather balls and other toys.

Luo Ahua obviously noticed it, and frowned: "It's such a mess, why is no one cleaning it up?"

As he spoke, a young woman came out of the east wing. She combed the woman's hair, was in her twenties, and was a cultivator in the late stage of the Innate Realm.

"Deputy Camp Master Luo, why are you here?" she stepped forward to salute in three steps and two steps.

"I brought the nine ladies and them over to visit. Luo Ahua returned the salute, first introduced Shen Jiumei and the three to her, and then said, "This is Dean Wu of our nursery school." ”

Both sides saluted. Wu Yuanzi smiled: "Xiaoban is sleeping at this time. Why don't we go to Taipan first?"

Luo Ahua asked curiously, "Isn't it about to have lunch? Why are you sleeping again?"

"Milk doll feels a lot. They are tired of playing, and they all have to take a nap before lunch. After lunch, play for a while before taking a nap. Dean Wu patiently explained.

Luo Ahua asked, "It's all like this, what if there are children who don't sleep?"

Dean Wu replied, "Then take it with you." There are no rules with milk dolls. At this point, she changed her words, "Well, I'll lead you to go over and have a look now." ”

Luo Ahua looked at Shen Jiumei and the three of them.

"Okay. Shen Jiumei responded happily. She also wanted to see how many milk dolls Xiaoban had. And are the people in the nursery really as good as Dean Wu said, and they are so patient with milk dolls, as if they were their own.

"Please. Dean Wu led the people to the east room of the main house.

The windows are ajar. From the porch, they could see the room clearly.

It's a chase room inside. Next to the walls on either side are two small wooden beds. The room was quiet. Sure enough, as Dean Wu said, fifteen milk dolls were covered with small quilts of the same color and were sleeping soundly. There were also five small wooden beds with no one in them. The flowers were folded up, revealing a small pillow.

Seeing the milk doll sleeping so soundly, Shen Jiumei only felt that her heart was soft. Anyone can see that the milk dolls are well taken care of. It's a completely different place than a nursery.

"Twenty in total?" asked Luo Hua in a low voice.

Wu Yuanzi shook his head: "Only eighteen were sent today. There are two fathers and mothers who are not bad and did not send them. There are three more that should be played outside. Let's go in and see. So saying, he led them to the door.

A thick pale blue blanket was laid inside the door. Next to the door was a large wooden box more than a foot high, which was filled with toys such as puppet balls.

As soon as they entered, they saw the three milk dolls: one lying on the ground, pouting her little buttocks, crawling forward, but retreating, the other, a little smaller, sitting next to her, holding a bell in her hand, amusing herself and shaking it loudly, and the third, a woman in her thirties, holding it, and feeding a white paste little by little with a small spoon.

And this woman was the only adult in the room. There is also cultivation, the middle stage of the innate realm.

Seeing them come in, she nodded her head as a greeting, and continued to tease the children and feed them at the same time.

Shen Jiumei was very curious: There are so many children, only one person takes care of Yu?

At this time, Luo Ahua had already asked: "She is the only one to take care of Xiaoban?"

Dean Wu smiled: "How can that be? This is also a rare moment of leisure when the dolls are asleep." When they wake up, even the three heads and six arms of one person will not be able to take care of them. There are a total of five people in the small class. The other four took the children to sleep and went to the dormitory to prepare lunch. ”

Aunt Qian couldn't hold back any longer and asked, "Such a young child doesn't eat milk, do they all eat such a mush?"

Dean Wu replied, "It's milk paste. The mothers of the dolls have to work as errands, and they are not available. During the day, we can only eat milk paste on top. Their mothers waited until they were on a business trip before they could breastfeed. There's no way around it. ”

"It's not easy to be an err......and with such a young child," Aunt Qian sighed, "It's not easy." ”

Dean Wu also said: "How easy is it to be a mother?"

And Shen Jiumei found a question: "How old is the youngest child here?" From the large chase room inside to this house, the milk dolls she saw were all several months old, and there were no younger ones.

"Half a year old. Dean Wu explained, "Our small class here only accepts children between six months and one and a half years old. If you are older, you will enter the kindergarten. ”

No wonder. Shen Jiumei asked again: "For children under half a year old, who will take care of them when their parents are on errands?"

"O mother of the child. Dean Wu replied, "Before the child is half a year old, the mother does not have to be on an errand. He also explained, "Most of these mothers are not disciples of the sect. Their errand was to help with some chores, and they all went on errands in the evening. ”

I see. Aunt Qian's heart moved: "Will I lose my errand?"

Luo Ahua took over the topic: "That's definitely not." There are special rules in our sect. In the past six months, not only will I not lose my errands, but I will also do it every month. ”

Wow, there is such a good thing! Shen Jiumei and the other three were very surprised.
