Dreaming of Lion Rock: Recipe in Hand

Chapter 342 Nursery

The news that Chunni was going to open a nursery in Shichun spread across Lion Rock like a tornado.

Some people make fun of it, some are envious, some are jealous, some want to take the back door, and so on.

Using the back door does not mean sending your child to a nursery; rather, it means using the back door to get in and become a teacher or childcare worker.

I won’t talk about the young teachers, they must be educated. The childcare workers are different, it sounds like they are looking for someone to take care of babies! All the female compatriots in Lion Rock dare to say that there is no one who can’t take care of babies, they just have different levels of goodness.

They have to admit that they are not good at raising children.

They are exhausted taking care of their own children at home, and their son and daughter-in-law can't see their hard work. It's different to take care of children in Shichun, it's still hard work, but they get paid!

This group of mothers-in-law and aunties were like crazy. In order to realize their own value, they madly attacked the old couple of the Chu family.

Old Mrs. Chu no longer dares to go out. Whenever she goes out, people give her gifts, including eggs, vegetables, mushrooms, meat... everything you can think of.

She had no choice but to accept it. The other person would throw it into her arms and run away, and she would add something else.

"If you accept my gift, you must explain it to Chunni nicely!"

Old Mrs. Chu wanted to cry but had no tears!

This... is too unethical!

Old Master Chu was even more unlucky, he had no other hobbies but fishing. Ever since Old Man Li returned to the capital, he only had one fishing partner left - Chunni's great grandfather, the captain.

The old captain can't go fishing with him these two days.

The reason is simple: fishing requires quietness. There is no quiet time when fishing next to old man Chu.

This group of old bastards who were sent by their wives to deliver gifts smiled like chrysanthemums. They brought all the fish, shrimps, turtles and bastards caught by their sons or grandsons in the Tuojiang River, one after another, to Old Man Chu who was concentrating on fishing.

"It's hooked." Old Man Chu saw the float moving and stood up with satisfaction. He waited for the fish to bite the hook and then he would pull it up.

"Brother Chu, look at the turtle my grandson touched. It smells delicious when braised."

The fish were scared away.

Old man Chu could only sigh and look at the fish. After waiting for a long time, the fish finally came.

then……

"Uncle Chu, these are the dried shrimps my family caught. They are so delicious when fried!"

Then, the fish with sensitive hearing fled in panic.

Old man Chu stamped his feet in anger.

But you can't hit someone who smiles at you, so he could only sulk at home.

Chunni didn't expect that she could survive by hiring someone.

Hey, it seems like no one has given her any gifts! She scratched her head.

"Please, hurry up and find someone!" It was the first time that Old Master Chu was so humble. He decided that if Chunni did nothing, he would go to the grave of his poor daughter, Da Niuniu, and cry!

Under the coercion and inducement of her grandfather, Chunni started the first recruitment of workers for Shichun Nursery.

We recruit workers in spring, directly hiring young female comrades who are smart and skillful, or young male compatriots who are knowledgeable and strong.

This has nothing to do with the old men and women in the village.

However, this time, the nursery is recruiting, not only teachers, but also childcare workers, cooks or cleaners, the age limit has been relaxed.

In other words, middle-aged women or even old ladies in their fifties or sixties can also try it.

On this day, Shichun was more lively than ever before. The village elders and women almost trampled down the threshold of Shichun's gate!

When the ladies come to apply for the job, the uncles are of course here to encourage them.

Chunni felt a headache, so she called the aunt who was busy in the workshop to come and help her.

Money is the biggest and best confidence. The old lady who used to be gentle and a little cowardly became confident, sharp and bold with the blessing of money.

Under the old lady's sharp eyes, she rejected fifty out of the one hundred or so aunts who came to apply for the job.

"You can't. You are too old. Once you enter Shichun, will you take care of the kids or will the kids take care of you?"

"You can't do that either. Don't make the nursery as shabby and dirty as you are, like a pigsty."

"You still want to cook, don't you have any idea? Your man won't even eat the food you cook! You want to feed the kids with such pig food, aren't you harming them?"

"I'm not as bad as you say! I'm not here to apply for a job. I'm here to represent my old man, who has been cooking for his entire life."

"Then you ask him to come, why are you here to join in the fun?"

"You can't!" the old lady pointed at a woman and said.

"Why? Why can't I? I take care of all my grandchildren, and they are all neatly dressed!"

The old lady waved her hand and chased the man away. "Your grandson is dressed very neatly, but why don't you say anything about your granddaughter? Yesterday I saw you chasing your eldest granddaughter with a yellow broom stick. Everyone in the village knows that your grandson is a treasure and your granddaughter is a weed. Our nursery can't afford someone like you."

The woman was so ashamed that she rushed back home. Do you think she was ashamed because she favored boys over girls?

No, you think too simply! She must have gone back to deal with his granddaughter again. She must have blamed the eldest granddaughter for running around and let the news of her beating people spread everywhere.

Chunni gave the old lady a thumbs up in her heart. See, when recruiting women, you have to look at the old lady!

After eliminating a group of people, Chunni talked to the remaining ladies. This round took a long time, so she asked Mrs. Chu to help.

The main thing is to look at the interviewer's appearance, whether his clothes are clean and tidy, whether his hair is neat, whether his nails are trimmed in time, and whether there is any dirt inside!

The last one eliminated a lot of people.

They will also ask some questions, such as what you like to do in your daily life, how old your children are, whether they are in school, how your health is, or whether there are elderly people in the family who need care.

Finally, another group of people were eliminated. After comprehensive consideration, Chunni finally kept seven women and one man.

According to their age, hobbies, personality, etc., the aunties were divided into cleaners, cooks and childcare workers.

The old man who had been cooking for decades became the head chef. Amidst his wife's starry eyes and the contemptuous and envious looks of other old men, he straightened his chest.

He, Wang Xiangshang, is no longer a gigolo!

He is the pillar of the family, for sure!

I didn’t recruit any young teachers.

It’s not that no one signed up, it’s just that these ladies were too brutal and pushed those who came to sign up to the sidelines.

Three aunties make a drama. Just think about it, there are so many aunties coming to Shichun today!

Chunni herself was so confused.

Finally, the teacher recruited three people. One of them was a former student of Chunni named Mai Sui'er, who had just graduated from junior high school. Since Shichun had no plans to recruit workers, she was preparing to take an examination for a job at a county factory.

When she heard that the nursery was hiring, she gave up her plan to go to the county factory. Shichun was close to home and the salary was high, so it was the best job.

There are two others, who are family members of Shichun’s employees, and are also young girls who have just graduated from junior high school.

Chunni was really busy and started training teachers and childcare workers.
