"What did you say? You said you wanted to build a nursery in the village?" Qian Weimin was shocked. He always felt that he couldn't keep up with Song Xi's thinking. Why did she have so many strange ideas in her little head?
"Yes, I saw some sisters in the village taking their children to work, and the children were left on the roadside to be exposed to the sun. I felt very sad. Those sisters took care of their children at home, so they couldn't go to work, and they couldn't take care of their children after they went to work.
So I thought of a way to get the best of both worlds, build a nursery in our village to help young mothers take care of their children, so that they can go to work without worrying about the safety of their children. Mothers who are still breastfeeding
, they can be allowed to feed their children milk every once in a while.”
"It doesn't cost money to build a nursery. All we need is Uncle Qian to grant us a suitable piece of land and find a few gay men to come and build it. Then we'll hire a few veterans to take care of the children. I made some money selling watermelons this year."
, there will still be a balance after distributing it to the students, so I can give them a monthly salary of five yuan. As for the things needed for childcare, I will find a carpenter to make them, and I will pay for the expenses."
"Song Xi, thank you so much. You are really planning for Ping An Village wholeheartedly. You are more suitable to be the village chief of Ping An Village than me."
Qian Weimin stood up excitedly and held Song Xi's hand. Song Xi could directly help everyone solve problems every time he gave advice, which he really couldn't compare to.
"Uncle Qian, you are really exaggerating. I am just talking on paper. In fact, I don't understand anything. We need a wise and decisive decision-maker like Uncle Qian to take the lead."
Song Xi doesn't want to be the village chief. Being a village chief doesn't mean that you don't have freedom. If you have money, people will still suspect you of corruption. The gains outweigh the losses.
"By the way, Uncle Qian, I already drew the construction drawings of the nursery before I came here. If Uncle Qian agrees to my proposal and arranges for people to build the nursery, it will be just like this." Song Xi handed over the construction drawings.
Hand money to the people.
She knew Qian Weimin would definitely agree.
Because to build this nursery, Qianweimin does not need to contribute any effort or money. He only needs to ask a few people to build it, and all the expenses will be borne by Song Xilai.
It would be really stupid for him to refuse such a good thing.
After the matter was settled, Song Xi went to find a carpenter.
Give the carpenter the drawings of the crib, crib, stroller, walker and some toys for the child to sleep in, and ask him to make them quickly.
After everything was arranged, Song Xi went home directly.
However, she didn't rest when she got home. Instead, she took out the cotton cloth and started cutting it to make clothes for Jiang Jiayi's unborn baby.
Do more and leave half for your baby when the time comes. After all, she plans to get pregnant next year and give birth the year after that.
Giving birth to a child at the age of twenty-one is considered too late in this era, but it is quite early for her. She also wants to give birth to the child early while she is young, and then wait for the child to grow up and watch it by herself.
Like a child's 'sister', how wonderful!
At the end of August, the nursery in Ping'an Village was built, and the health station next to the nursery was also built.
That's right, the day after proposing to build a nursery, Song Xi went to Qian Weimin again and asked for money to build a health station.
Let the old doctor in the village treat people there in the future, so that if the child feels uncomfortable, he can be carried directly to the next door without wasting time.
Seeing a doctor here should be cleaner and sanitary. There are two hospital beds inside and a shelf made of ordinary wood. It is no worse than the health station in the commune.
If among the old people who are assigned to Ping An Village in the future, they have medical skills, you can hire someone to come over and treat the villagers in Ping An Village. You can also ask him to teach a few students, so that it will not be difficult to see a doctor in Ping An Village.
As soon as the nursery was built and the equipment was in place, Wu Zhuhua found five grandmothers in their sixties, but they were all experienced in raising children, and they didn't have any mess at home.
When everyone arrived, Qian Weimin made a speech during the morning meeting, and many people came to sign up in the morning. Song Xi was responsible for registering the children's personal information, living habits and taboos at the scene.
In one morning, a total of thirty-two children came to the nursery, the youngest was seven months old and the oldest was four years old. The grandmothers were very experienced, so they got started quickly.
Young mothers whose mothers-in-law are unwilling to help send their children here in the morning and take them home in the evening can then work seriously to earn work points during the rest of the time.
There is a kitchen in the nursery, which can provide extra meals for the children. In addition, Song Xi quietly added some spiritual spring water to the water tank. The children's health is gradually getting better and better, and they are better than before at home. Everyone has a deep understanding of child care.
Slowly I started to trust him.
At the end of August, Ping'an Village Primary School also started school. This year, there were seven more students in the first grade. Song Xi was responsible for teaching the second and third grades, and He Xiachuan was responsible for teaching the first grade.
This year's class schedule has returned to normal, with classes being held around the clock, unlike last year when classes were only held for half a day for each grade due to overcrowding.
Now Song Xi doesn't have to worry about the first grade, the second grade and the third grade take turns to attend classes. The last class will be self-study for another class. Only classes such as listening to the radio, music, art, and reading clubs are taught together by the three grades.
Originally, there were not many courses for cultivating interest, just one class a week. The main reason why Song Xi took these classes was to see if there were any talented students, and if so, they could provide targeted training.
Several educated youths at the Educated Youth Point learned that He Xiachuan had become a teacher at Pingan Village Primary School and could easily get five work points. Although five work points were not much, it was enough for one person, and he did not have to worry about the sun.
How cool it is to be in the sun!
Suddenly, several people were so jealous that they did not go back to the educated youth restaurant to cook after work, but went straight to the village chief's house angrily.
As soon as Xiao Yue entered the door, she said directly without hesitation, "Village Chief, you are unfair to us. Why did you let He Xiachuan be the teacher without saying a word? Why didn't you inform us? Why didn't you let us become teachers too?
?”
Qian Weimin frowned displeased, but did not speak immediately.
On the contrary, Wu Zhuhua slapped the table and stood up, "Why? Just because Xiao Yue is so delicious and lazy, why don't you just cook when it's your turn to cook without even washing the pots and bowls? You can't even tell the difference between seedlings and weeds? You said,
If you let someone like you become a teacher, will it harm the children's lives?"
When others heard what Wu Zhuhua said and learned that Xiao Yue didn't even wash the pots and dishes when it was Xiao Yue's turn to cook, they suddenly felt sick in their stomachs.
Especially Wen Wanwan, whose little face was so pale that she seemed ready to vomit at any time.
"Don't think it's unfair, you three. It's you who failed the exam. Don't blame others. Do you think I went to the educated youth center every day for the past two months just to help you?"
