Chapter 51

The development of things last night seriously deviated from expectations. When Jiang Yao woke up the next day, he did not forget to ask Lu Che to discuss the physical development of the child.

"Every child's development is different. You say that Changchang can't speak until now is stupid. Then the little deer learns to walk slower than him. Do you want to scold the girl?" Jiang Yao asked.

"Of course not, girls are not that strong, which is understandable." Lu Che said hastily.

"Look at yourself, it's a world-renowned double standard, tolerant to daughters, but uncommonly harsh to sons." Jiang Yao rolled his eyes at him, "If you are half as patient with Changchang as you are with Xiaolu, I will be thankful ."

"..." Lu Che also knew that he was biased, and said with a guilty conscience, "Changchang is a brother, he should walk in the front, otherwise how can he protect his sister in the future."

"Is he still a baby now?" Jiang Yao was really speechless, "When he grows up, at least after primary school, you can tell him to let him protect his sister, but he doesn't even have the ability to protect himself now. , is bullied by his father at every turn, how do you ask him to protect others?"

Big Brother Lu has nothing to say now, so he can only admit his mistake in a low voice, "I will pay attention to it in the future, but sometimes I can't help it. Daughter-in-law, please remind me more."

Saying that, he took advantage of the situation and hugged him again, "I'll rely on you to supervise me in the future."

Jiang Yao pushed him in disgust, "You don't have to be good here, you really want to reform, you should start with 'Duanping two bowls of water'. Let's not say that you are too strict with Changchang, you are endless to Xiaolu She spoiled her in the future, and you will regret it."

"I don't like my daughter, should I wait for other stinky boys to spoil her, and then take her away?" Lu Che took it for granted, and when he touched Jiang Yao's sharp eyes, he suddenly died, and the volume dropped by half, "I It will adjust, but you have to give me some time too."

"..." Forget it, this pampered madman is helpless.

After breakfast, Jiang Yao and Lu Che first went to the hospital to see Zhu Xia's condition.

When they walked to the ward, Zhang Dong was holding a small baby in his arms, and his eyes became a line with laughter.

It turned out that Zhu Xia successfully unloaded the cargo at five in the morning.

She was lying weakly on the bed at the moment, but her pale face could not hide the joy of being a new mother.

"How do you feel now?" Jiang Yao walked over and asked Zhu Xia.

"It's still a little uncomfortable, but it's much better than when I was born." Zhu Xia smiled slightly.

"It will be much better when the uterus contracts." Jiang Yao wanted to see the child after speaking. Zhang Dong heard the sound and immediately handed the child in his arms to her as if offering a treasure, and said proudly, "Jiang Yao, I This girl is beautiful. Everyone else is wrinkled like an old man when she comes out, but she is very cute."

As soon as she finished speaking, Mother Zhang, who had been acting as the background board and kept silent, suddenly spoke up, "You can't brag about a child. She's so good looking, she's just an ugly girl."

In many places, there are customs that children can't praise, but Mother Zhang's tone and demeanor are obviously using this as an excuse to express her disapproval of this newborn granddaughter.

Rao was already mentally prepared, but when her mother-in-law mercilessly expressed her disgust towards her daughter, Zhu Xia was still heartbroken.

Her face also sank. Seeing this, Zhang Dong immediately said to Zhang's mother, "Mom, go home and cook some food and bring it here. Zhu Xia and I are both hungry."

"Got it." Mother Zhang reluctantly got up.

After giving birth to a loss-making product, she really didn't have the heart to serve Zhu Xia's confinement, but instead of looking at the loss-making product and sulking here, she might as well go home out of sight.

"I made you laugh." After Zhang's mother left, Zhang Dong said to Jiang Yao and Lu Che a little embarrassedly.

"It's alright." Jiang Yao waved her hand, and she didn't care about looking at the child anymore. She took Zhu Xia's hand and said, "Don't think too much, and don't be angry. It's not worth being angry with yourself."

"Yeah." Zhu Xia nodded lightly.

"It's getting late, Lu Che and I will go back to work first." Jiang Yao stood up and said to Zhang Dong, "If you can't help, just tell me, and I'll help after get off work."

"Don't worry, I'm fine, you all hurry up, or you'll be late."

After walking out of the hospital, Jiang Yao said, "It seems that Zhu Xia will have a hard time in the future. Zhang Dong's mother's face has changed 180 degrees."

"It's not wrong to have a daughter, and it's not Zhu Xia's fault." Lu Che said, "I don't know why I have to have a son, and the family doesn't have a lot of gold and silver to inherit."

When Jiang Yao heard this, he thought of his future business empire and asked, "If you have gold and silver mountains, do you have to let your son inherit it?"

"certainly."

"Heh... You still say that Zhang Dong is a motherfucker. I think you are also patriarchal in your bones, and it's superficial to love Xiaolu."

"What superficial skills?" Lu Che was a little unhappy, "If there is really a golden mountain, someone must guard it, and the person who guards it must be Chang Chang. Is it possible to let Xiaolu guard it? Xiaolu is very cute, just stay at home and enjoy it. "

"..." Oh, she really misunderstood him. Changchang is really pitiful. In his father's eyes, he is a proper tool.

While they were talking, they had already returned to the Lu family to pick up the brothers and sisters to the nursery.

The old lady led Chang Chang and Xiao Lu out, Lu Che picked Chang Chang up and let him sit on the chair tied to the single pole of the bicycle, Jiang Yao sat behind with Xiao Lu in his arms.

As soon as Lu Che stepped on his feet, the bicycle slowly set off towards the front.

Chang Chang was the happiest at this time. He sat at the front and enjoyed the "speed and passion" of this era.

"Do you think we should buy an extra bicycle?" Jiang Yao asked, "This car is almost not enough for us to ride."

It's common to ride a bike two or two these days, but she still doesn't feel safe.

With Mr. Lu's current financial ability, it is certainly not a problem to buy another bicycle. Even if he doesn't have a ticket, he can get one back through a special channel in the provincial capital, that is, let Jiang Yao ride his bicycle in and out, just once or twice. , often like this, he is not very relieved, "you ride out by yourself, okay?"

"Of course." Jiang Yao would like to say that she can ride a bicycle at the age of five, she is a real "old driver". Today's bicycles are generally 28 inches, which is a bit high, but she is 1.7 meters tall, so it is not a problem to be flexible.

"You don't have to worry, my driving skills will definitely be fine." Jiang Yao knew that he would not agree easily, and added: "Now Chang Chang and Xiao Lu are going to the nursery, and we have no plans to regenerate, and I will be at home alone all day, with the surrounding people. The neighbors don’t know each other well, she’s actually very boring, she just didn’t dare to say it in front of us.”

"If we have two bicycles, we can take our milk with us and play with the children nearby." Jiang Yao said, "Even if we don't mention this, we will usually go back to Qingyuan Village, and we will just go for a walk. You go back and forth twice."

"It seems to be the truth." Lu Che was persuaded, "I will go to the provincial capital next time to see if there are twenty-six inches. Twenty-eight inches is too high and unsafe."

"Good!"

After half a month, Lu Che took a holiday and took the earliest bus to the provincial capital in the morning, and when he came back in the evening, he rode back a brand new 26-inch bicycle.

Because he basically goes to the provincial capital by car now, and he did not disclose that the source of bicycles has been found in advance, Jiang Yao was still very pleasantly surprised when he saw this new car.

Chang Chang was just as curious as Xiao Lu, revolving around the bicycle, Lu Che hugged the brothers and sisters into the back seat in one fell swoop, making them laugh with joy, and Xiao Lu kept shouting "walking", just to make his father Go for a ride on your bike.

"You guys, go play around and come back, anyway, the meal is not ready yet." The old lady was also happy when she saw a new car was added to the house.

"Okay, let's go to the river and come back." Lu Che said.

After the two children were placed one after the other, Jiang Yao sat in the back seat, and Lu Che started off with his pedals.

This car is a bit short for Lu Che, but it is just right for Jiang Yao, and Lu Che doesn't have to worry about the car being too tall and her toes touching the ground, so she said, "Next week's holiday, you will ride a bicycle with milk and the two of them. Let's go back to Qingyuan and take a look."

After all, they have hardly returned to Qingyuan since they moved to the county seat. The original idea was very good. It was said that it was a Saturday holiday to go back and stay for one night, but in fact it was a day off that Lu Che had been looking forward to with great difficulty.

"Okay, next week's holiday, I will bring my milk back. She must be thinking about the old house." Jiang Yao said.

"Daughter-in-law, thank you for your hard work." Lu Che said, "I will try to get some more goods in the past two months. When the weather turns cold in September, our family of five will go on an outing together."

"Maybe not anymore." Jiang Yao said: "When the seasons change, children are most likely to get sick. There are many infants and young children in the nursery, and they are young, so it is estimated that they will be too busy at that time."

Jiang Yao's words are really true. As soon as you step into the eighth month of the lunar calendar, the hot summer is gone, the weather is cool in the morning and evening and it is hot at noon, the temperature difference changes greatly, and many children in the nursery are sick.

It is ideal that a sick child should not go to school.

But the ideal is very plump, the reality is very skinny, let alone the 1970s, even in the 2020s, there are many cases where children are still sent to the kindergarten when they are sick, because the parents have to go to work and there is no one at home, where should the children be placed in the kindergarten? Parents can't ask for leave every three to five unless they don't want to.

However, Jiang Yao had long anticipated this situation, so two small classrooms were vacated in advance to gather the sick children and assign a few nurses to take care of them.

In addition, the nursery school should be disinfected every day after school. At the same time, parents should be told that children must bathe and change clean clothes every day. If this is not possible, do not send them to the nursery school.

With the joint efforts of many parties, when the weather enters late autumn, the children's bodies also successfully change seasons. However, as it gets colder day by day, children need to be cautious about keeping warm.

If the child is the eldest in the family, their clothes are usually new, but if the second child is the third child, the clothes are usually picked up by the eldest.

Jiang Yao does not require the style of their clothes and whether they are patched, but if the children's clothes are too old to keep warm, she must talk to their parents and ask them to change their clothes.

Her requirements may seem a bit harsh. After all, this is an era when there is not enough food and clothing, and you may enter a nursery. At least one of your parents is an employee of a mechanical and electrical power plant. It's because everyone is used to saving, and they feel that their children grow up quickly, so they are reluctant to replace them with new ones.

"Let's eat two meals less meat and make new clothes for the children. When they dress warmly, they will naturally be less sick."

"The less you get sick, the less money you send to the hospital. In fact, the money must be spent, it depends on where it is spent."

"Instead of saving it, why not make the child more comfortable?"

Lawyer Jiang's mouth has gone through the rivers and lakes. don't know how many colleagues have defeated in the past. Now, facing a few treasured mothers and fathers, how can it be possible to say nothing?

Of course, after the children put on warm clothes, she also strictly asked the nurses to add or remove clothes for the children according to the temperature at different times in the morning and noon. They have to be tireless, and can't be too lazy to move just because they do a few more back and forth, otherwise the child will catch a cold because of overheating or too cold.

Thanks to the efforts of her and the nurses, many children in the nursery are in much better physical condition than when they entered the nursery. When the semester ended, many parents wrote to Director Li to praise Jiang Yao and the nurses.

Although the opening hours of the nursery are basically the same as those of the mechanical and electrical power plant, it has been busy for more than half a year, and the Spring Festival is approaching.

After finally looking forward to the ten-day holiday, Jiang Yao wanted to take her two children to prepare for the Spring Festival, but who knew that Director Li "won't let her go" and called her back.

"Director Li, do you have anything to do with me?" Jiang Yao asked when she walked into Director Li's office.

"You sit first." Director Li said with a smile.

Jiang Yao sat down according to her words, and then heard Director Li say: "Jiang Yao, I am very satisfied with your performance in the nursery for the past six months. My old Wu also said last night that my eyes were poisonous, and he picked you out at once. bingo."

"Thank you for the compliments from the director and the factory manager, but I still depend on your support for us to carry out my work smoothly." Jiang Yao is sincere. Director Li really trusts her and asks her to let her go, and at the same time treats her Very supportive, as long as she puts forward needs, she will try her best to meet them.

"This is also our responsibility, and we dare not take credit." Director Li waved his hand and said, "Actually, I am here today because I have another matter to discuss with you."

"What's the matter? You said."

Director Li: "It's just that our nursery school has been very successful and was commended at the county's year-end summary meeting. The leaders above intend to continue the pilot program in our factory, and plan to set up a factory-run kindergarten after the spring of next year."

"That's good." Jiang Yao said with a smile: "Now the nursery only accepts children under the age of 3. Many parents ask me when they will be able to enroll children over the age of 3. After all, they are still too young. Stock up at home."

"You think it's good too, don't you?" Director Li's eyes flashed a hint of slyness, and said, "Then the task of preparing is handed over to you, how about it?"

"Me?" Jiang Yao was surprised.

"Is it so strange?" Director Li said, "You set up our nursery little by little. You have experience and courage. Now that you are running a kindergarten, there shouldn't be anything that can stop you."

"That's right." Jiang Yao smiled, "I just feel a little flattered that you and Director Wu trust me so much."

"You are a little younger, but your actual ability shows that you can be trusted." Director Li said: "Preparing a kindergarten is only the first step. When the kindergarten is on track, I plan to hand over the nursery and kindergarten to you for unified management. You train a few people, and you can fully grasp it."

From the head of a nursery staff in a nursery to managing the entire nursery and kindergarten, this is undoubtedly a huge achievement in her career. Although Jiang Yao feels a little heavy on her shoulders, she still accepts it without any hesitation.

"Since Director Li looks up to me, then I will be respectful rather than obedient." Jiang Yao said, "I will do my best to live up to your expectations."

"Okay." Director Li patted her on the shoulder and said with some emotion: "In the past six months, the mechanical and electrical power plant has developed rapidly. Fortunately, you are the 'logistics minister' for me, otherwise I will not be able to take care of it. Next year The development of the power plant will be faster and better, in order to make our employees better put into production work, I will trouble you."

"No trouble, it's my duty."

When Jiang Yao left, Lu Che was still at work. She ran to the workshop to dig him out and told him the news.

Taking care of the nursery and planning a kindergarten at the same time, her work next year will definitely be extremely intense. He usually studies overtime, so the time to take care of the family will be relatively reduced, and she is not sure whether he supports her decision.

She asked nervously, "Will you agree?"

She was right in front of him most of the time. Rarely was he so uncertain when he couldn't help teasing her, "If I don't agree, won't you go?"

"..." Jiang Yao was 80% sure that he would support her unconditionally, but she didn't expect to throw this question back to herself now.

Seeing her smiling face, Lu Che couldn't bear to keep teasing her, and said, "Don't worry, Chang Chang and Xiaolu will follow you to work anyway. Moreover, in the long run, it's a good thing to organize kindergarten, the little guys will live with you. It will be two years old in a few months, and going to kindergarten is just around the corner, so it is also for us to prepare for a rainy day."

Jiang Yao heard this, with a big smile on her face, "Thank you for supporting me so much."

"Fool!" Jiang Yao touched the top of her hair and said, "Do we need to say thank you? Also, as I said before, I will always support you, and I will never regret it. ."

"I know!" He didn't say any love words, but these words were more pleasant than love words. Jiang Yao was moved, and in order to cover up his strangeness, he changed the subject and said, "Don't touch my head again, I'm not a bad guy. Little leader, others will laugh at me when they see it."

Lu Che retracted his hand and whispered in her ear, "I want to kiss you more than touching your head."

"..." Jiang Yao blushed hopelessly, she glared at him angrily, "You pay attention to the influence, I'm leaving, I plan to buy some food later, call Zhu Xia and the others over for dinner tonight, you are in charge of comrade Zhang East."

"Okay." Lu Che responded with a smile, "Be careful riding your bike."

"Understood, you are still my child."

"You are more worrying than a child when you are here with me."

"..." Good guy, now it's funny to talk about love, you don't need to make a draft.

Jiang Yao stopped talking nonsense with him, turned around and went to the bicycle shed, and then rode a bicycle to the supply and marketing agency, bought meat, bones and pigs for the water, and planned to entertain Zhang Dong and Zhu Xia tonight.

After buying the ingredients, she rode her bike home and went to Zhu Xia's house on the way to inform her to come over for dinner tonight.

Zhu Xia now lives not far from Jiang Yao, because she and Zhang Dong rented a house and moved out after confinement.

Originally, they still had a glimmer of hope for Zhang's mother, but Zhang's mother still let them down. During the confinement period, Zhu Xia and her daughter Tongtong didn't have half a snack, and they were always ridiculed.

Zhang Dong didn't know it at first, because Zhu Xia didn't want to tell him, for fear of being said to alienate their mother-son relationship, until one time he went to work and left something and came back to get it, and then he heard Zhang's mother insulting Zhu Xia, which was extremely ugly.

He felt sorry for Zhu Xia, had a big quarrel with Zhang's mother, and then wanted to move out.

Of course Mother Zhang didn't want it. Zhang Dong was the youngest son he loved the most, but now she doesn't live with her because of a woman and a loss-making daughter. She makes all kinds of troubles, but Zhang Dong's attitude is firm, and several brothers and sisters in the family also look forward to it. They moved out, and finally managed to rent a house out.

Although they lived separately, Zhang Dong and Zhu Xia didn't dare to make trouble too ugly. Usually, they would go back to Zhang's house during holidays and festivals.

Mother Zhang felt that this was good, and she stopped making trouble, that is, every time they went back, they would have to give birth.

When Zhu Xia heard Jiang Yao's invitation to dinner tonight, her first reaction was, "Celebrate your Lu Che's promotion, right?"

"He was promoted? When did it happen? Why didn't I hear about it?" Jiang Yao asked in confusion.

"You don't know?" Now it's Zhu Xia's turn to wonder, "Zhang Dong told me last night that Lu Che would change from a team leader to a big team leader after a year, and be responsible for leading several teams, and the salary will be the same as that of the time. Subsidies will also go up.”

"I really don't know." Jiang Yao said, "I just came back from the mechanical and electrical power plant, and I met him once, but he didn't tell me."

"Perhaps your Lu Che wants to give you a big surprise!" Zhu Xia said.

"...Maybe." Jiang Yao knew this man too well, a surprise is a surprise, but she must rely on this surprise to give herself some benefits. Of course, she couldn't tell Zhu Xia this.

Zhu Xia: "Since you don't know that Lu Che is going to be promoted, why are you inviting us to dinner tonight?"

"Of course there is a request for you." Jiang Yao said with a smile: "The Mechanical and Electrical Power Plant is planning to set up a kindergarten next year. Director Li said that this task will be handed over to me. At that time, my time and energy in the kindergarten will be reduced. I'm going to make you the leader of the nursery staff."

"I... can I?" Zhu Xia was surprised and delighted.

"Of course, but everyone knows that I have a good relationship with you. We have to compete fairly, otherwise people will easily gossip, and you will have a hard time convincing people in the future. You have to work hard, I am optimistic about you."

"Okay, I will work hard and I won't let you down." Zhu Xia couldn't hide her excitement, "If I become the team leader, I will be able to straighten my back at my mother-in-law's house in the future."

"Yes, women will not be bullied if they are financially independent."
