Raising Babies in the 70s - Chapter 48

Qin Rou looked down and found that the little guy was holding a drawing that he wanted to give her. There were three people in it, one was Lu Yan hammering nails, one was Qin Rou who was smiling, and another was the little chubby kid trying to catch the chicken, with three coconut trees on the side.

Although the drawing was very immature, it was also quite vivid. Qin Rou was a little surprised and praised, “Our little Jingyi is really good at drawing. When you come back, I will stick it on the wall.”

“I will take it to kindergarten!!!” Xia Mingxi on the side said quickly.

Qin Rou: “…”

She looked at herself in the drawing, a rather abstract woman with a row of teeth when she smiled…

——There was always a bad premonition.

The two children went in the area’s bus, while Qin Rou followed behind on a bicycle. It was the first time for her to send the children to the kindergarten. Anyway, she could also go to the kindergarten to see it. Fortunately, it wasn’t too far away, and it took ten minutes.

She had never seen a kindergarten in the seventies with her own eyes.

After arriving, she found that the kindergarten was no different from an ordinary school. The school had a playground, classroom and canteen. Qin Rou parked the bicycle outside and followed into the iron gate.

Before she got in, she heard the loudspeaker on the playground playing:

“Little pine tree, grow up! Green leaves…”

“Children, grow up quickly! Like a pine tree, sprout…” The rhythm was catchy, the song was played for brainwashing and looped repeatedly again. Qin Rou was really familiar with the song.

The buildings there were not high, they were all two-story townhouses. The kindergarten was divided into several classes, all of which were divided according to age. There were many older children in the small kindergarten. Five to six year olds went to Class 4, four to five year olds went to Class 3, three to four year olds went to Class 2, two to three year olds went to Class 1, and there was a one- or two-year-old in Nursing Class.

When Qin Rou sent the children to Class 3, she saw a teacher, a young woman with a ponytail, dark skin, beautiful features, small nose and small eyes coaxing a child, and there were a dozen children around.

“Honey, don’t cry!” The teacher’s surname was Zhou.  Listening to the child’s crying, her tone was a little impatient.

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

Zhou Yuhua looked stunned when she saw Qin Rou. After learning that she was the parent who dropped two children, she immediately smiled apologetically to her, “Can you help me watch the children for a while? I have something to do.”

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, hid in the corner and laughed. A familiar teacher saw her and immediately shook her head, “Aren’t you making fun of people again?”

Zhou Yuhua liked to make fun of some young and beautiful women. She would walk away on purpose, throwing a bunch of children at them, which left these young women at a loss.

When a group of children made a fuss, and she couldn’t stand it, she could only be laughed at.

Let her know how hard it was to take care of a bunch of kids.

Zhou Yuhua didn’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. Being a kindergarten teacher was hard, as she had to coax a bunch of bad children.

Zhou Yuhua covered her mouth and snickered a few times. The female she saw just now, had delicate skin and tender flesh, must have never raised a child. She should be about to cry because of that child at the moment.

She deserved it. Whoever made her look so demonic as she tried her best to seduce a man, probably the colony member of the army who came with her.

Zhou Yuhua would envy these colony members. The husband had a high salary and could support the whole family. As long as the wife took care of the children, did housework, and took care of the family, she would not have to worry about food or clothing.

She also wanted to find an officer husband to marry, but she couldn’t find any. These colony members’ wives, a small part of them, were young and beautiful, with jobs, teachers and nurses, and most of them brought native wives from their hometown.

Zhou Yuhua felt that she was not as young and beautiful as those young and beautiful ones, but she was much better than the rural wife and had a job, but unfortunately the men were blind and couldn’t see her.

“She brought her nephews. Maybe she came here to be a stepmother, or someone’s sister-in-law.”

——To seduce her brother-in-law.

While Zhou Yuhua was speculating, she snorted disdainfully in her heart.

But at that moment, she heard someone calling her from behind, “Zhou Yuhua, why are you here?!”

Zhou Yuhua turned around and looked at her, and was immediately startled, “Principal.”

The principal, Wu Min, was a short woman. She had round glasses on the bridge of her nose. Although she had short stature, she was not small. She had only been transferred to be the principal in the past two years. In the past ten years, the kindergarten had developed rapidly, and many problems had occurred.
