Chapter 431 Children’s one-day trip to the orchard (400.01 million)
In the orchard, in addition to the adults and children who are busy picking strawberries, there is also a very special team.
This is a team composed entirely of children. Under the leadership of teacher Li Qiuling, they gathered at the entrance of the orchard.
Unable to resist Mengmeng's warm invitation, teachers and children from the small class of Caojiazhuang Kindergarten came over to play.
After Li Qiuling asked the children to line up at the entrance of the orchard, she told them some rules for entering the orchard.
For example, you are not allowed to destroy fruit trees at will, you are not allowed to pick flowers at will, you are not allowed to pick strawberries at will, and you are not allowed to destroy the equipment in the orchard at will.
"Children, you must remember that this is classmate Mengmeng's invitation for us to come over to play. We cannot be unscrupulous just because of this. You must eat the strawberries picked by all of us and must not waste them."
"Also, all white and green strawberries are not allowed to be picked, do you understand?"
Li Qiuling asked them loudly.
The little guys shouted in unison: "Teacher, I understand."
"Okay, let's go, watch your steps." Li Qiuling told them.
Let the little ones go in front, and he will follow in the middle, taking care of both the front and back.
I'm afraid that one of the little ones will fall down if they get a little restless.
When they walked in, Cheng Xiaolin saw them and said to her husband, "I'll go watch them. You go ahead."
Cao Shujie also took a look at the group of children. At a glance, he saw Mengmeng with three braids in the crowd. There was no other way. The other children were all wearing ordinary clothes. Only his daughter was wearing a pink coat.
The 4-year-old girl is extremely beautiful.
But that's not all she has.
When Mengmeng went out in the morning, she was still clamoring for powder.
Her mother, Cheng Xiaolin, was defeated by her, and she was still thinking about what kind of daughter she had given birth to since she had never been so beautiful when she was young.
"Sister Qiuling." Cheng Xiaolin trotted to Li Qiuling's side.
Li Qiuling breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her coming.
"Linlin, aren't you busy today?" Li Qiuling asked him.
Cheng Xiaolin pointed to the busy workers in the orchard and said: "There are more people this year than in previous years. They can all take care of it, so I can take it easy."
Li Qiuling looked at her with some envy, but it was useless no matter how much she thought about it, her husband was only at that level, and there was no comparison in this kind of thing.
"Mom, hee hee." Mengmeng waved her little hand towards Cheng Xiaolin in the crowd.
She was very happy today because her father and mother agreed to let her friends come to play in the orchard.
They are now going to go into the orchard to see the flowers first, then the deer, and finally eat strawberries.
"Mom, I want to take the children in to play." Mengmeng shouted.
Cheng Xiaolin waved her hand to let them in: "Let's go, you follow me."
"I'll let you eat strawberries today to make sure you're full." Cheng Xiaolin said with a smile.
She also asked the children if they had anything else they liked to eat.
Little guys, you look at me and I look at you, both of you are a little embarrassed to speak.
Cheng Xiaolin also noticed that they were a little embarrassed and said to them: "Children, just relax. You can still play as usual and play however you want."
"Auntie, thank you." A little girl said.
Cheng Xiaolin said happily: "It's okay, don't be so polite."
When they came to the kiwi fruit orchard and saw it blooming, Cheng Xiaolin introduced it to them.
Pollination has started here now.
The orchard uses bees for pollination and artificial supplementation, and she also told the children not to provoke those bees.
"Wow, what a beautiful flower."
"Sister Mengmeng, your orchard is so big."
"There are many people here. What kind of fruit tree is this?"
"I know, I know, my mother said this is called kiwi fruit."
A group of children quacked like ducks, and the scene got a little out of control several times.
But seeing the children standing motionless and chattering away, both Li Qiuling and Cheng Xiaolin breathed a sigh of relief.
"Children, let's go in and play." Cheng Xiaolin said.
As soon as she finished speaking, a group of children wanted to go into the kiwi fruit forest.
Some little guys shouted that they wanted to play hide and seek.
When Li Qiuling heard this, she quickly shouted: "Children, please stop running around, otherwise we won't be able to find you in a while."
It's a pity that the little ones ran away into the kiwi forest long ago.
Fortunately, they didn't run too far, they just hung around here to play, crawling back and forth under the trees, and they weren't afraid of getting scolded when they got home if the soil from the orchard stuck to them.
For these children, it is already commonplace.
Mengmeng has more fun when she is in the crowd.
Now she has broken away from the restraints given to her by her parents at home and is running around like a runaway donkey.
Cheng Xiaolin and Li Qiuling were also standing in the orchard. Looking at the little guy running back and forth under the tree, Li Qiuling was a little embarrassed: "Linlin, I've caused you trouble this time."
"Hey, it's okay, Sister Qiuling, they are all children, just let them play." Cheng Xiaolin felt very satisfied when she saw her daughter's cheerfulness.
She said: "Mengmeng always complains that no one plays with her at home. Her father and I are very busy recently, so it's good to have these children to play with."
"You are busy with business. Mengmeng is still young now and she is not sensible, but she will definitely understand in the future."
Cheng Xiaolin deeply agreed with Li Qiuling's words. She said: "Mengmeng is quite well-behaved most of the time."
Other people who came to pick in the orchard saw more than 20 little guys playing together, and they also became happy.
Anyone else is wondering whose family these children belong to?
There were also children who came with adults. When they saw Mengmeng and the others, they also wanted to go over and play, but were persuaded by the adults?
These adults feel that it will be bad if their children accidentally fall, bump, or touch later.
As they were talking, they suddenly saw a little girl wearing a pink coat and pigtails in the crowd. She accidentally fell to the ground while running.
This made many adults who saw this scene worried, but who knew that at this moment, someone next to them shouted: "Mengmeng, get up quickly, if you roll on the ground again, be careful, I will go home and beat you up."
This scolding made other adults who saw this scene stunned. They didn't understand what happened, but they saw the little girl who had accidentally fallen to the ground stood up again happily.
She had fallen hard just now, but nothing seemed to have happened to her.
This makes many parents who come from the city, county, or provincial capital find it incredible.
"That child is really strong. She is still a girl."
"Who says it isn't? After all, if my son had fallen that way, he would have burst into tears."
"Don't you think these children are having fun?"
"It's different. They can only play this. My children can learn English, take interest classes, and learn piano. In the future, the gap will become wider and wider."
Cheng Xiaolin was not far away from the person she just spoke to. She heard what the other person said and inadvertently glanced back at him.
She admitted that if there were no accidents, what the person just said was right.
In comparison, the teaching resources in rural kindergartens are indeed very poor.
But this does not mean that there are few things that make them happy.
Besides, who said her daughter must learn less than their children?
These onlookers went to pick strawberries again. Cheng Xiaolin and Li Qiuling were chatting. Li Qiuling also heard what those people just said. She asked Cheng Xiaolin: "Lin Lin, when you were a kindergarten teacher in Beijing, where did you go?"
What do children learn?”
"A child in kindergarten?"
Seeing Li Qiuling nodding, Cheng Xiaolin said to him: "Sister Qiuling, this is different. The children there do learn a lot, but their kindergarten tuition is also high."
"The kindergarten where I work costs 50,000 to 60,000 yuan per semester for one child."
"How much?" Li Qiuling suspected that she heard wrongly.
But Cheng Xiaolin said again that it would cost 50,000 to 60,000 yuan a semester.
This number made Li Qiuling feel a little suffocated.
Too high.
All in all, her annual salary is less than 10,000 yuan, but the kindergarten tuition fees for children outside are so high.
No wonder they learn so much.
"It's not all like this. There are also cheaper ones, but they cost several thousand yuan a month."
"In our city, there are kindergartens that cost one, two thousand, three or four thousand yuan a month, and there are also public kindergartens that cost a few hundred yuan a month. Their positioning is different."
"That's right." Li Qiuling came back to her senses.
Seeing that the children had had enough fun and were sitting on the ground to rest regardless of whether they were dirty or not, Li Qiuling went over and told them to go inside and see the sika deer.
"Let's go. After we see the sika deer, we will pick strawberries to eat." Cheng Xiaolin told them.
When they heard that they were going to pick strawberries, these children jumped up from the ground with joy.
Cheng Xiaolin smiled. After all, they were a group of children who couldn't control their emotions when they heard about eating.
Li Qiuling also wanted to ask her how much the strawberries cost? The kindergarten paid.
But she was rejected by Cheng Xiaolin: "Sister Qiuling, this is also our orchard's consideration for the children. Besides, we can eat whatever we grow ourselves."
"When you leave later, you can pick some and take them back." Cheng Xiaolin said.
"I can't take it, what will happen if that happens?" Li Qiulin waved his hands in a hurry.
But Cheng Xiaolin didn't care, she said: "If you don't take it, I will send it to you tonight."
"Linlin, why are you like this?"
"Sister Qiuling, didn't I tell you? You grow them all yourself. You take them back and let the children and elders at home have a taste of them."
The two argued and followed the children deeper into the orchard.
Today is Qingming Festival, and there are so many people here.
The further you go, the closer you get to the strawberry garden, the more people there are.
Li Qiuling no longer cared about reasoning with Cheng Xiaolin. She hurried to the front of the team and led the children forward to avoid the children from colliding with other adults.
"Who is that? Don't run around and follow the team forward." Cheng Xiaolin followed them behind.
When she encounters someone who is disobedient, she will also speak to them.
When passing by the strawberry garden, I saw so many people picking strawberries inside. These children were very greedy.
But both the teacher and Mengmeng’s mother said that after watching the sika deer, they would come over to pick strawberries to eat. Although these children were very greedy, they followed the instructions obediently.
Finally, we arrived at the deer park, where there were many children around.
Everyone is watching the sika deer running back and forth in the park.
Antlers have begun to grow on the male deer's head, and the first crop can be cut in late June.
Cheng Xiaolin remembered that her husband also said that he wanted to make some wine soaked in deer blood to nourish the body.
But Cheng Xiaolin always felt that the smile on her husband's face was weird when he said this.
Li Qiuling also came here for the first time. She saw these sika deer raised in captivity in the garden, and asked Cheng Xiaolin why she didn't raise more of them?
"Sister Qiuling, raising sika deer is quite troublesome. It also takes up a lot of people, otherwise our village would have popularized it long ago," Cheng Xiaolin said.
As soon as Li Qiuling heard it, she knew that eighty percent of what she said was true.
"There's nothing we can do about it. In fact, our village is already doing very well now. Most families have planted kiwi fruit trees. Even those who don't have kiwi fruit trees are raising cattle or growing pasture. It's much better than other villages.
Already."
"Besides, I have also calculated this account. It can increase a lot of income for the people. There were no such benefits in the past."
Li Qiuling looked at Cheng Xiaolin and said, "Everyone knows in their hearts that you two brought this to us. In fact, we are very grateful to you both."
Cheng Xiaolin was very happy. She said, "Sister Qiuling, don't say that. Everyone believes in us."
After watching the Plum Blossom Road for a while, some children couldn't calm down and kept looking at the strawberry field.
When Cheng Xiaolin saw this scene, she shouted directly: "Children, let's go pick strawberries and eat them now."
When the little ones heard this, they all jumped up happily: "Oh, I'm eating strawberries."
"I want to pick it, I want to pick it too."
"Sister Mengmeng, can I pick 5 strawberries?"
"Can I pick 10 of them? I can eat 10 of them."
"Cao Pengfei, just brag. How can you still eat 10 strawberries if you are so skinny?"
"Only fat and fat people can eat 10."
The little guys were noisy again.
Cheng Xiaolin was really helpless when she heard the content of their argument.
She took four large pots from the side and handed two to Li Qiuling. She took two: "Children, put the strawberries you picked in the two pots of Teacher Li and me. Wait a moment."
Let’s fill these four pots and wash the strawberries before eating them.”
"Linlin, how big a basin is this? Why does it look so big to me?"
The more Li Qiuling looked at it, the more she felt something was wrong.
Cheng Xiaolin said with a smile: "Sister Qiuling, you are not very big. One pot can hold a little more than three kilograms."
Hearing what she said, Li Qiuling breathed a sigh of relief, but she said: "Four pots are 12 pounds, which is not a lot. These children can't eat it at all."
"It's okay, don't worry, you haven't had enough to eat in our orchard," Cheng Xiaolin said.
"Let's talk about half-grown children who live in poverty. Despite their young age, they really have a lot to eat."
She also shouted: "If Shujie knows that I am so stingy, he will scold me to death later."
"Haha!" When Li Qiuling heard what Cheng Xiaolin said, she started laughing.
