Raising Babies in the 70s

    Lu Yan left early in the morning without waking her up. Last night, Lu Yan made a lot of steamed buns and froze them in the freezer. Qin Rou was in a low mood and did not stop him from making Steamed buns, I also turned over a bag of milk powder bought for the children and said that they would add sugar and milk powder.

    Not to mention, the steamed buns made by Lu Yan are really strong and delicious. At first, I thought they were bland and tasteless.

    Qin Rou has never eaten such steamed buns before. The steamed buns she has eaten are relatively fluffy, and they can be crushed when squeezed hard. I prefer coarse grain steamed buns, corn-flowered steamed buns and the like, and big white steamed buns are rarely seen.

    Although Lu Yan's steamed buns are delicious, Qin Rou wants to taste what kind of sweet steamed buns he makes.

    Lu Yan frowned: "…"

    Add sugar and milk powder...Is this steamed bun still edible?

    —of course!

    At the insistence of Qin Rou, Lu Yan helped her make a few small steamed buns with milk powder and sugar added, not many, five or six, because Lu Yan really couldn't bear adding sugar to the steamed buns.

    It's scary to think about.

    Qin Rou got up and warmed up three steamed buns and a plate of pickles, and called the cubs over for breakfast. She boiled two extra eggs for the children and made them a cup of malted milk.

    A simple breakfast is not a luxury if you want it.

    Qin Rou is eating steamed buns and misses the rice rolls she got in Guangcheng. One day she will make rice rolls at home!

    Now there is no such condition. Even the pickles on the table were given to Lu Yan when he first came to the family home. There are few fresh vegetables at the moment, and it would be good to have a mouthful of pickles. .

    Qin Rou intends to go to the villagers in the nearby village to buy some white radishes, make some sweet and sour appetizers, or sun-dried pickled radishes.

    She wants to eat cucumbers, sweet and sour cucumbers.

    These two children, Xia Mingxi and Chen Jingyi, are not picky eaters at the moment, they are short of food and clothing.

    Xia Mingxi took the steamed bun and bit it, and made an unexpected discovery, "Little aunt, are the steamed buns sweet?"

    Chen Jingyi repeated: "Sweet?!"

    Qin Rou: "...mistake."

    Sweet steamed buns paired with pickles really have a "quirky" taste. It's good to eat alone, but if you eat a few more bites, you'll be too tired to panic. It's better not to add sugar. There is no sweeter condensed milk, if you dip a little condensed milk, this sweet steamed bun will taste better.

    No condensed milk, seems to go with jam?

    But there is nothing in their house right now.

    After breakfast, Qin Rou went to the chicken coop to pick up an egg. The feeling of surprise was indescribable. As expected of the laying hens she bought at a high price, it was precious!

    In the future, at least four or five hens will be raised at home. They will lay eggs every day, and they will not take them out for replacement.

    Tsk, this is the taste of waiting for the lottery.

    After feeding the chickens, Qin Rou intends to send the two cubs to the kindergarten together. There is a large kindergarten near the base, not only the children in the base, but also the children of the nearby farm cadres. Kindergarten study.

    Since the 1950s and 1960s, kindergartens in China have blossomed everywhere, mainly to liberate women from labor. Most units have their own kindergartens for employees.

    Qin Rou said to the two cubs, "Send you two to kindergarten today."

    "Are you happy?"

    Xia Mingxi and Chen Jingyi have never been to a kindergarten before. Qin Rou used to be a kindergarten teacher, and she has seen many "spectacular" situations of children going to kindergarten for the first time. Wow, I want my parents to cry.

    It is not known how the two cubs will react.

    "Happy!" Little Fatty jumped up with his hands up, very happy, as if he couldn't wait to go to kindergarten.

    Chen Jingyi: "…"

    Qin Rou pinched Little Fatty's face, thinking that this little fat cub is really an optimist. Going to kindergarten to make new friends is probably a return to his happy hometown.

    This little optimist.

    The laughing little chubby won't be too bad luck.

    Qin Rou heard from Lu Yan about the life of this little fat dun, chubby dun is the child of his third sister, and his third brother-in-law is no longer there, and chubby dun's father is also in the navy, once in the South China Sea I serve here, so I sent the little guy over to have a look.

    The third brother-in-law’s family is rude to relatives, and so-and-so has a birthday and insists on asking him to go back. If he doesn’t go back, he will miss the good time and the luck of his family. Mountain hardship.

    The Lu family no longer communicates with his family, and Xiao Pangdun has been raised by the Lu family.

    Qin Rou sighed in her heart, it's not easy.

    "Auntie, you, send it." Chen Jingyi tugged at Qin Rou's trouser legs and whispered.

    Qin Rou looked down and saw that this little guy was holding a color pen painting and said he would give it to her. On the painting, three people were drawn crookedly, one was Lu Yan who was hammering nails, and the other was smiling Qin Rou, who was wearing it, also had a little chubby dimple grabbing the tail of a chicken, and there were three coconut trees on the side.

    Although the painting is very immature, it is also quite vivid. Qin Rou was a little surprised and praised: "Our little Jingyi is really good at painting. Come back, auntie, can I stick it on the wall for you."

    "I'm going to take it to kindergarten!!" Little Pangdun on the side said quickly.

    Qin Rou: “…”

    She looked at herself in the painting, a rather abstract woman, smiling with a row of teeth...

    Children's paintings are like this, bring them.

    —It's always a bad feeling.

    The two children can rub against the family's car, while Qin Rou follows behind on a bicycle, sending the children to the kindergarten for the first time. It takes ten minutes to drive there.

    She has never seen a kindergarten in the seventies!

    After arriving, she found that the kindergarten was no different from the ordinary school at this time. The school was the playground, classroom and canteen. Qin Rou parked the car outside and followed into the gate of the iron fence.

    Before entering, I heard loudspeakers on the playground playing:

    "Little pine, grow up! Green leaves, new shoots..."

    "Children, grow up! Like a pine tree, sprout..."

    The rhythm is catchy, this song is played for brainwashing, looping over and over again, Qin Rou is really familiar with this song.

    The buildings here are not high, they are all two-story townhouses. The kindergarten is divided into several classes, all of which are divided according to age. There are many older children in this small kindergarten. Six to seven years old go to class five, five to six year old go to class four, four to five year old go to class three, three to four year old go to class two, two to three year old go to class one, and a One- and two-year-old nursing classes.

    Qin Rou sent the child to Class 3. She met the teacher of Class 3, a young woman with a ponytail, dark skin, delicate facial features, small nose and small eyes, she was Coax the children, there are about a dozen children now.

    "Be good, don't cry." The teacher's surname was Zhou. At this time, listening to the child's crying, his tone was a little impatient.

    Qin Rou observed the classroom, which was very simple. In addition to the tables, chairs and benches, there were some crooked sticker pictures and quotes from famous people on the walls.

    Zhou Yuhua looked stunned when he looked up and saw Qin Rou, and after learning that she was the parent who sent two children, he immediately smiled apologetically to her, "Can you help me watch the children for a while, I There's something going on over there."

    "Help me coax the children, these children are very coaxing."

    Qin Rou nodded, and when Zhou Yuhua saw her promise, she immediately put down the crying child and turned to go out.

    She ran up to the second floor and hid in the corner laughing. A familiar teacher saw her and immediately shook her head, "Are you making fun of people again?"

    Zhou Yuhua likes to tease some young and beautiful matriarchs, deliberately walk away, throwing a bunch of children to her, making these young matriarchs at a loss.

    A group of children are making a fuss, no one can stand it, they can only be seen as a joke.

    Let her know how hard it is to have a bunch of kids.

    Zhou Yuhua doesn't like being a kindergarten teacher at all. She originally wanted to be a primary school teacher, but she didn't pass the exam, so she could only be a kindergarten teacher. I have to take care of it, I work hard every day, and I have to coax a bunch of bad children.

    Zhou Yuhua covered her mouth and snickered a few times. The female family member I saw just now, looking at the delicate skin and tender meat, must have never brought her children very much. Cried.

    She also wants to find an officer husband to marry, but she has to be in the navy, but she can't find it. A small part of these family members are young and beautiful, with jobs, teachers and nurses, and most of them are young and beautiful. A native daughter-in-law brought from her hometown.

    Zhou Yuhua feels that she is not as young and beautiful as those young and beautiful ones, but she is much better than the rural daughter-in-law and has a job, but unfortunately the man is blind and does not like her.

    "It's also said to be a nephew, maybe she came to be a stepmother, or someone's sister-in-law."

    —To seduce my brother-in-law.

     Zhou Yuhua snorted disdainfully in her heart while speculating.

    But at this moment, she heard someone call her from behind: "Zhou Yuhua, why are you here?!"

    Zhou Yuhua turned his head and looked, and was immediately startled: "The principal."

    The director Wu Min is a short woman with round glasses on the bridge of her nose. Although she is short in stature, she has a great momentum. In the past ten years, kindergartens have developed rapidly, and many problems have also appeared.

    Before Wu Min was transferred, she visited and researched a number of state-owned enterprise kindergartens. This time she was transferred to Lucheng to be the director of the kindergarten, and she herself had the determination to reform.

    Children are the flowers of the motherland, and early childhood education must not be ignored.

    The younger you are, the more responsibility and patience the teacher is required to take.

    "You are so irresponsible!" Wu Min glared at Zhou Yuhua. This Zhou Yuhua was her main focus. She had discovered several times that Zhou Yuhua was deliberately lazy and ignored her children. She also liked to make fun of beautiful women. The matriarch of…

    "If something happens to the child, I will see what you will do! Follow me back to your class..."

    Zhou Yuhua was scolded countless times by her. She felt that this old woman just couldn't get along with her and didn't take Wu Min's words to heart at all.

    In her opinion, what do children of three or four years old know? Children of this age in the countryside are all stocked and run in the mountains, and not all of them can be supported. Parents do not need to take care of the older ones and the younger ones. What kind of kindergarten do they need to go to, and what can happen?

    Zhou Yuhua followed Wu Min to Class 3. She was murmuring to herself and walked to the door of Class 3. She thought to herself that all those demonic women are pretty and they usually coax men. The most difficult thing is to deal with these children, showing an ugly face in front of the children, just wait to see her jokes.

    She originally thought that she would hear the crying of the child and the scolding and impatient voice of the woman, but she did not expect that the third class of the kindergarten today was very quiet, and the quietness made her a little scared.

    Wu Min raised her eyebrows and followed her in, just in time to see the children sitting obediently on two rows of small benches, with a beautiful young woman sitting in the front. The woman clapped her palms, and the little guys all sang neatly: "Little pine tree, grow up..."

    After singing, the children happily listened to the woman talking to them.

    "I want to raise my hand, Sister Qin, look at how well I sit!"

    "We are all good boys!"

    "Sister Qin, come and be our teacher!"

    …

    "This is my little aunt!!"

    When Qin Rou turned around, she saw Wu Min, the principal of the kindergarten, Wu Min's eyes lit up when she saw her, "You taught the children to sing well just now, everyone's attention is on you How did you do it?"

    Wu Min saw the way she was talking to the child just now, her expression, her tone of voice, and felt that this was right.

    Her voice is crisp and sweet, and her intonation and rhythm are particularly pleasant, just like singing, which makes people fascinated without realizing it.

    "You used to be a teacher, right? A primary school teacher?"

    Qin Rou smiled and shook her head: "I have never been a teacher, I used to sing in the art troupe."

    "Ouch!" The principal exaggeratedly surprised and said with emotion: "I think you are born to be a teacher in our kindergarten!"

    Qin Rou: "..." No, it was acquired.

    The principal Wu Min knew that Qin Rou was a new family member nearby, and immediately invited her to come to the kindergarten as a teacher.

    Qin Rou hesitated and said she had to think about it.

    —Do you really want to be a kindergarten teacher in the 1970s?

    After she accompanies the army to Qiongzhou Island, she has several options. They can help her connect with local literary and art organizations, join the Lucheng local song and dance troupe as a singer, or transfer to become a primary school teacher, and in addition There are also health nurses. Qin Rou has been reading for a few years, and she is still a little literate. From the outsiders' point of view, it is not difficult for her to change to nursing.

    Sister Qin Rou married into an intellectual family. In the first two years, her brother-in-law was keen on literacy, and she was pressured to read for a few years.

    But now, my brother-in-law's books are all thrown into the cesspool, and everyone doesn't pay attention to learning these days.

    Wu Min, the principal of the park, saw that she did not agree, and immediately guessed: "You have such a good voice and standard Mandarin, are you planning to be an announcer of the People's Broadcasting Station?"

    Qin Rou froze for a moment, "Yes, yes."

    Before she married Lu Yan, she did plan to change her career as an announcer in Liao Province, but now she has just arrived on Qiongzhou Island and has not figured out the specific situation, but unexpectedly learned that there is just a recruit here announcer.

    "I know that they are recruiting people recently. Please sign up. If you don't pass the test, come to our kindergarten and become a teacher."
