Chapter 340： appease

Mr. Liu did not expect that the job opportunity he had been looking for for several days would suddenly appear in front of him. The price offered by Mu Yangling was not high, but it was not low. The salary of the director of the nursery school was two taels of silver per month. Xiu is five taels a year, a little less than when he opened the academy, but much better than he is now without food and clothing.

Mr. Liu has never been a very ambitious person. He is very satisfied with the salary offered by Mu Yangling, but he is more interested in the affairs of the kindergarten. This is the first time he has heard of such an institution. different.

Although Yangshengtang also takes in abandoned or homeless children, most of them are only responsible for one meal, and most of the children will be driven out after the age of eight to become self-reliant, leaving only children under the age of eight. That’s it, the children inside Treatment is not very good.

Otherwise, there would not be so many beggars in the streets.

Mr. Liu asked the nursery in detail about the operation model of the nursery, and then said after a long silence, "Miss Mu, I can accept you now, but where will I live in the nursery?"

"The kindergarten is outside the city of Hanzhong Mansion, not far from Jingzhao Mansion, so there may be barbarians intruding. If Mr. Liu minds, don't take his family there. Now the kindergarten is still under construction, and I will let them go. Build a few houses in the middle of the male and female dormitories, where Mr. Liu can live."

Mu Yangling looked at Bo Wen and said with a smile: "At that time, Bo Wen will also live in the nursery, he will still study with his husband, and he will only deal with the nursery in his spare time. If the husband wants to participate in next year's township examination, he should also Take time to read books.”

Mr. Liu smiled slightly, "Since Miss Mu is assured that Bo Wen will live there with me, she is obviously very assured of the safety there. In this case, I will live there with my family."

Mu Yangling could not ask for it, "At that time, I will ask someone to build a three-entry yard in the middle, and the wife will also move in."

Mr. Liu is a man, so I'm afraid it's hard to manage things on the girl's side, but it's different with Liu Shi Niang, many things are much more convenient.

Mu Yangling and Mr. Liu have negotiated properly and agreed to visit the nursery together tomorrow.

Mr. Liu happily went home to tell his family the good news. When Liu Shi Niang heard that the family plan was settled, she was relieved, but she was a little nervous about leaving the familiar Mingshui County.

Mr. Liu reassured her and said, "The nursery is not far from Mingshui County. It only takes a day to drive the mule cart. We can go home anytime we want."

"It's not far from the Hu people, will it?"

"No," Mr. Liu said warmly: "I asked Miss Mu, and Miss Mu said that the military camp is not far away, and there is also the horse farm of the little general nearby, oh, Miss Mu's cattle farm is also nearby."

Hearing that the military camp was nearby, Liu Shi Niang was even more worried, "I don't know if it will disturb us."

"If there are other generals, we still need to worry about one or two, but that is General Qi's territory. He rules the army strictly and never harasses the people. Besides, I don't want you to follow me now. Miss Mu said that the nursery school is still there. I’m going to build several rows of houses, and I’m afraid it won’t be completed until the spring, so I’ll go back and settle down first, and you will move in after the spring.”

"Then be careful," Liu Shi Niang hurriedly went into the house to pack some simple luggage for him. Thinking of the news from the Qin family today, she hesitated for a while, but still said: "Today there is a commotion in the Qin family. The husband has lost his temper, and is arguing that he wants to divorce his sister-in-law."

Mr. Liu frowned slightly, and finally sighed: "You just don't know about this matter, we don't care about him."

Liu Shi Niang frowned slightly and persuaded: "This is something she did inappropriately, I was also angry before, and I said in my heart that I would never communicate with her for the rest of my life, but it is too big to divorce her. That means life is worse than death, why don't you talk to Mr. Qin?"

It's not how soft-hearted Liu Shi Niang is, but the fact that a woman is divorced and returned to her parents' family. It is really better to die. Even if she can remarry, her parents' brothers will not find a good family, and a good family will not look down on the divorced. A woman, remarrying will be a nightmare at that time. Although she has never seen it, she has heard a lot of such cases.

Mr. Liu was not very worried, "Don't worry, Lao Qin won't really put people off. He wants to take the imperial examinations and become an official. It's better to have less than one thing. What he said at this time was just angry words. All right."

When Liu Shi Niang heard this, Fang felt relieved, packed Mr. Liu's package, and told him to be careful on the road.

The next day, Mu Yangling drove a mule cart to pick him up, and the two rushed to Hanzhong Mansion.

The children's life in the kindergarten has become regular. Every age group has something to do for each age group. After eating every day, they go to the classroom to read and write, and in the afternoon, they go to learn crafts.

There is a shift schedule posted in the cafeteria. Different people take turns to cook and take care of the children every day. Each person is responsible for making a living. The clothes are washed by the big ones, and the big one who takes care of them is responsible for the small ones.

Although there were fights and quarrels, they were not big, and a few older children in the courtyard could get together to solve the problem.

But the disadvantage of not having a manager also appeared. The porridge that the children had been eating since Mu Yangling left, there were only two black and white steamed buns at noon every two days, and the vegetables had always been cabbage and some pickled cabbage.

It’s not that the food Mu Yangling prepared was not enough, but that the children always felt at ease, fearing that they would consume too much and Mu Yangling would dislike them, and they felt that they would be full even if they ate thin, so they tried to save them as much as possible.

Mu Yangling had found butchers in the city and asked them to send some meat every three days, but it was also frozen by several children. Only when he was very greedy did he cut some and cook them in cabbage.

Mu Yangling had a headache for such "stingy" children, and said to Mr. Liu: "So there must be people in charge in this courtyard. I have already made a menu there, but apart from the first two days, you can see now The porridge they make is starting to become thinner."

Naturally, she doesn't like it if the children just eat and waste it, but she doesn't like the increasingly aggressive posture.

Mr. Liu has read Mu Yangling's menu, which requires three meals a day, porridge for breakfast and dinner, black and white buns at noon, and meat every three days. This kind of life is nothing more than a rich household in the village.

No wonder the children were uneasy, even he was very uneasy.

Mr. Liu thoughtfully said: "Miss Mu, I think the children are right. The winter is still long. Can the money in your hand support the next autumn harvest? I think it's always good to save a little."

Several older children nodded and looked at Mu Yangling nervously: "Mu, Sister Mu, we have more than 1,000 people here, and everyone can eat it."

Mr. Liu nodded, such a half-year-old child can eat even if he has a mountain of grain.

Mu Yangling smiled and said, "Don't worry, I can't afford to eat until autumn, but it's fine to eat until spring."

The children's faces suddenly became bitter when they heard the words, that is to say, their good days can only be until spring?

Since they all looked at Mu Yangling in panic.

Mu Yangling smiled and said, "You think I'm just raising you for nothing? In the spring, after you finish your studies, you'll get an internship in the field, and you'll have to help cut some grass. I'm going to set up a row behind the nursery. The house will raise pigs for you, and if they are well raised, you will not have to worry about eating meat in the coming winter."

"Miss Mu, after the spring, what will happen to the food in the nursery school? Even if the children can go to the field, they won't be able to do much work, not to mention that you also require them to read and write skills, so there is less time..."

"You don't have to worry about this, I have my own way." Mu Yangling turned to look at them, saw them frowning like a little old man, and said with a smile: "Okay, I still have some business in Hanzhong Mansion, as long as it's not a barbarian. It shouldn't be a problem to re-occupy Hanzhong Mansion for you to eat and drink."
