Return to the small mountain village in 1986

September 1st is a very meaningful day for children all over the country, because school has started!

Aixin Kindergarten also started school on this day. Starting at around 7 o'clock in the morning, parents began to send their registered children over.

The kindergarten teachers, wearing uniforms, stood at the door to greet the children with a smile, called the children's names affectionately, and then held the children's hands to let them go in to play first.

It’s not yet time for class, but the children who came early can play with toys for a while. Children’s tricycles are the children’s favorite and they often compete to play with them.

Xiao Xuxu and Xiao Yuanyuan are also new students in the kindergarten. They are young and are placed in a small class. There is only one classroom on the first floor. This classroom is used to accommodate children in the small class because they are young and cannot easily climb stairs.

Except for the two of them, Gao Mingcheng only enrolled more than 60 children this time, so there are only a dozen people in each class, of which the preschool class has the largest number of students, with 25 people.

Fortunately, Gao Mingcheng recruited Wen Ying through Li Fei. With her leading the preschool children, Gao Mingcheng felt relieved.

Early this morning, Gao Mingcheng was also busy at the kindergarten, arranging teachers in each class to take good care of the children in each class. There are two teachers in each class, one is the main teacher, who is responsible for teaching the children to learn. , and the other one is a childcare worker, responsible for taking care of the children and assisting the main class teacher in teaching.

There are two people dedicated to taking care of a dozen children, and there is generally no problem. However, today is the first day of school, and the children are running around everywhere. The teachers are also in a hurry. Fortunately, Wenying has teaching experience and helps manage it.

Seeing the children jumping up and down, Gao Mingcheng felt that doing this job really requires love and patience! After a moment of dull eyes, Gao Mingcheng decided to hire an experienced principal to manage the kindergarten!

Many beauties sighed: "I hope!"

There is also the issue of feeding. Not every child can eat by himself, so when necessary, he needs to be fed. Of course, this will be taught in the future and we will strive to let the children eat by themselves as soon as possible.

Duo Mei also breathed a sigh of relief. She said to Gao Mingcheng: "This is more tiring than running a clothing store!"

He Xiuman is taking care of the children in the front, but Grandma Xi is not idle either. She is old and does not have the energy to take care of the children, but she can stay in the kitchen to help choose and wash vegetables, and talk to Hu Yinchen and Huang Yueying by the way. Quite enjoyable.

Although everyone was very tired, Gao Mingcheng did not let everyone leave immediately. Instead, he called everyone to sit down for a meeting to summarize today's work and see where improvements need to be made, so that improvements can be made in time tomorrow.

In the kitchen, Hu Yinchen is cutting watermelon, which is a fruit for the children. Each child has a piece of watermelon to eat.

Besides, this is just the beginning. As long as the kindergarten has a good reputation, there is no need to worry about running out of students. From the beginning of the 1990s to the end of the country's liberalization of the second child, kindergarten education during this period still has great potential!
On the contrary, after the second child policy was relaxed, kindergartens began to close down one after another across the country.

Although they are in charge of the kitchen, after finishing lunch, they also have to go to the front teaching building to help and act as childcare workers. Today is the first day of school. Some children have adapted well and can be happy all the time, but there are also some children who will Crying for mom and dad, you need someone to comfort you at this time.

Kindergarten consists of two meals: fruit at 10 am, lunch at 12 pm, and snacks at 4 pm.

According to the current enrollment numbers and teacher allocation, kindergartens are actually not profitable, not to mention the cost of building a house and purchasing a large number of toys, musical instruments and books.

Little Shasha is more than four months old. Although she can't sit still, she doesn't feel scared when her mother carries her on her back. She is quite cooperative.

"Second brother, second sister-in-law, I'm leaving." Wang Xiuxiu rode on her bicycle and shouted to Gao Mingcheng and the others.

However, Gao Mingcheng doesn't mind whether he loses money or not. What he hopes to achieve is to build an excellent platform so that his children can receive a good education from the beginning and have contact with some people in the county through the kindergarten.

Huang Yueying is Hu Yinchen's neighbor, and she was introduced by Hu Yinchen to help in the kitchen. She is not tall, but she loves to smile and looks very kind.

Facing the eyes of many beauties, Gao Mingcheng felt a little guilty inexplicably. It was his idea to open a kindergarten, and it was also his idea to let many beauties come here to work.

After the meeting, Gao Mingcheng asked the teachers to leave.

Wang Xiuxiu was also ready to leave. She wrapped little Shasha in a large piece of cloth and carried it on her back so that she could ride back.

Gao Mingcheng could only comfort him: "When the children get used to it, they won't be so tired."

Choose fruits that are in season. If you have convenient snacks, you can choose biscuits and bread. You can buy these from outside stores, or you can make some steamed buns, steamed buns and multi-grain porridge yourself.

After a whole day, all the teachers were almost exhausted. They breathed a sigh of relief after handing over the children to their parents one by one.

"Be careful on the road! Ride slowly!" Duo Mei warned.

Wang Xiuxiu takes her baby to work. Although she mainly focuses on taking care of little Sasha, she still helps out a little while she takes a nap and plays.

"Hey, I got it." Wang Xiuxiu responded with a smile while riding her bicycle. After seeing her leave, Gao Mingcheng and Duo Mei were also preparing to leave.

"Grandma, we're leaving. Please close the door later." Gao Mingcheng warned. If you don't close the door, nearby children will sneak in and play with toys. It's not that Gao Mingcheng is stingy, but if something happens to the child here. If the child is naughty and breaks the toys and books, it will be difficult to handle.

Gao Zhuang came over immediately, and once Gao Mingcheng and the others left, he closed the courtyard door.

The kindergarten was not far from the clothing store, so Gao Mingcheng didn't drive. He held Xiao Xuxu and walked side by side towards the clothing store with Duo Mei.

They still had dinner at the clothing store, checking the clothing store's account books and collecting the money from the sales.

When they passed by, Luo Li and Zhang Yingying who were at work had already left after get off work. Only Gao Mingli, his wife and Gao Shufang were there.

Naturally, no customers came to the door at this time, so the three of them were talking and cooking in the backyard.

"Second brother, second sister-in-law, you are back! Little Xuxu, isn't it fun to go to school?" Gao Shufang saw Gao Mingcheng's family coming back, and immediately came forward with a smile. She picked up little Xuxu and teased Talk to him.

Xiao Xuxu had a good relationship with Gao Shufang, so he immediately told her what happened in the kindergarten, saying what he played, what he ate, which child was misbehaving, etc. Although he was a little slurred, he was close to her. people can understand him.

Gao Mingcheng listened and said with a smile to Duo Mei, "Studying is indeed wise. Look at our son, he talks more!" Duo Mei pursed his lips and smiled, but also a little melancholy, and said, "Xiao Xuxu I'm over two years old, but I still can't speak clearly. I heard that my tongue is growing together!"

Gao Mingcheng hurriedly said: "Don't worry, he will be fine for sure. He is still young and will be able to speak clearly after a while!"

Gao Mingcheng thought that if his eldest son could speak clearly in his previous life, he would definitely be fine in this life.

Of course, it's not that he hides his illness and avoids medical treatment, but that the child is indeed still young now. If he is still like this after he is over three years old, then he should take him to the hospital to see a doctor.

Many beauties nodded, hoping so!

Since Gao Mingcheng's kindergarten officially opened, although minor problems have occurred every day, progress has been made every day and these problems can be solved in time. After a week, the teachers and children have adapted to the rhythm of the kindergarten and are on the right track.

At this time, Gao Mingcheng proposed to send Gao Zhuang to learn to repair cars.

Car repair is an enduring craft. With the development of society, there will only be more and more cars. As long as people use cars, if the car breaks down, someone will always have to find someone to repair it.

Even if it's not broken, you still need to find someone to clean the car. This industry is considered a rising industry now, and it has a lot of potential!

Gao Zhuang was also obedient. Gao Mingcheng said this was good, promising and safe, so he obeyed and learned it.

Gao Mingcheng personally sent Gao Zhuang to Xiao Jinfeng's transportation company, and hired a master to teach him. In addition to studying, he also helped out at the transportation company.

Gao Mingcheng had already told Xiao Jinfeng about this matter a long time ago. Xiao Jinfeng also joked with a smile and said that when Gao Zhuang left the army, he would let Gao Zhuang repair the transportation company's car.

Xiao Jinfeng said this at the time: "The transportation company's orders are increasing. Sometimes the drivers can take turns, but the trucks have to drive non-stop. If they are driven too much, there will be more minor problems, which are difficult to repair." It’s time-consuming. I originally planned to divide the car repair part.”

Gao Mingcheng was not surprised at all after hearing this.

The reason why today's drivers need to learn how to repair their cars is because if something goes wrong on the road, it will be very troublesome if they don't know how to repair their cars, because they may not be able to find a repair shop, so they have to rely on themselves.

But in later generations, many people can drive, but not repair cars. They don't need to know how, because with just a phone call, they can call a mechanic to come and repair it. It's convenient and fast, so why bother to learn it yourself?
That evening, when Gao Mingcheng was lying in the yard enjoying the shade, Duo Mei suddenly said: "Is it time for the village to collect medicinal materials?"

Gao Mingcheng closed his eyes and rested, and then he said: "Before, I asked Gao Zhuang to collect medicinal materials for me in the village. Now that Gao Zhuang has come to the county, he can't do this job, so I asked my elder brother , asked him if he wanted to do it. If he wanted to do it, I didn’t care about the cost of receiving the goods or selling the goods. "

Duo Mei rolled his eyes and asked, "Then what did your elder brother say?"

Gao Mingcheng said: "He wanted to do it, but he couldn't do it alone. Later, he seemed to partner with Mingwan. He collected medicinal materials in the village. When the time came, Mingwan rented a truck from the transportation company, and then the two of them transported the medicinal materials to Sell ​​the medicine at the fair.”

I think that when Gao Mingcheng came back from his rebirth, he saved a lot of money by hunting in the mountains and selling medicines. But now, he no longer needs to go hunting in the mountains and collect medicines.

Although it can make money, the work is also cumbersome. Gao Mingcheng doesn't think there is anything wrong with leaving this matter to others.

Although he no longer collects and sells medicine, Gao Mingcheng still insists on planting Poria cocos in the mountains. In the past two years, he has almost dug up the wild Poria cocos in the mountains. Now he has decided to continue planting it for a few years and then leave it there to dig out the Poria cocos when they grow up. Come out and make your own medicine.

There is also a slope at the foot of Xiaofu Mountain, where a batch of cassia seeds were planted by chance last year. We did not plant them specifically this year, but there are still cassia seeds growing. When mature, you can pick them and make tea.

Although I have good eyesight in this life, cassia seed tea is a standard ingredient for health care because it clears the liver and improves eyesight.

Oh, and Polygonatum.

There was only a small amount of Huangjing in the mountains. Gao Mingcheng sown it and carefully managed it for a year, and then transplanted it to the mountains. Until now, he has not dug it.

But there is no need to rush. Only the old Polygonatum odorifera has medicinal effects and can reproduce more. When the time comes, you can harvest it and eat it at home. The simplest way is to use it to stew meat.

A little more complicated, just steam and dry it nine times to make immortal food.

There are actually several types of so-called leftover food for immortals. In addition to Polygonatum, there are also pine needles, pine nuts, pecans, black dates, cactus fruits, cypress kernels, etc. These are all foods that can be collected in the mountains and can satisfy the hunger.

Of course, the medicinal effect of Polygonatum is quite good, and regular consumption is beneficial to the human body.

Gao Mingcheng was thinking about it, and suddenly he had the urge to run into the mountains to release the stress accumulated during this period.

He thought so and said the same thing: "How beautiful, tomorrow is the weekend, let's go back to Gaojiacun!"

Now the two of them are mainly focusing on kindergarten. They finally have a holiday. If they don't take the opportunity to go back to the village for a walk, they won't have time!

After hearing this, Duo Mei's eyes lit up and she said instantly: "Okay, I also want to go see my eldest sister. She suffered a big disaster last time she gave birth. I don't know if she is better now. Mingcheng, let's get up early tomorrow and go After buying the gifts, we drove back to the village! ”

"Okay!" Gao Mingcheng agreed, and he began to look forward to it.

Early the next morning, they got up at six o'clock. After packing their things, they drove to a nearby rice noodle shop to have breakfast. After breakfast, other shops opened one after another. Duo Mei went to buy two rice noodles. A can of malted milk and some snacks and candies, and I went to the butcher shop to cut two pieces of pork belly. One piece weighed two pounds. This one was given to the eldest sister, and the other one pound was for my lunch.

After all preparations were made, a car drove on the national highway, taking a family of three eager to return home to the beautiful Gaojiacun.

The car did not stop at the old village, but drove straight to Niuweiling. Before it stopped, it heard the familiar barking of dogs. It turned out that the black tiger and the elf were already following the sound.

"Black Tiger! Elf! Da Huang! Da Hei and Xiao Hei! Hee hee, I know them all!" Xiao Xuxu lay on the car window looking at several dogs, calling out their names one by one, and then proudly Smiling. (End of chapter)
