Chapter 179：

The Spring Festival in 1978 passed very quickly. It seemed that I had a New Year's Eve dinner on the Spring Festival Gala. This year has already passed.

When I first arrived in the capital, there were not many relatives who could walk around. Su Xiaoxiao took the cubs to take time to go to Han Songbai and Zhuzi's house to pay homage to each year to receive a few red envelopes and send a few red envelopes, which was considered to be passing relatives.

During this time, Bai Lan came over almost every day to discuss the details of opening the store with Su Xiaoxiao. They decided to use Bailan's yard as the storefront for the time being. Her yard is several hundred square meters. Fang, Chen Ping'an is at school from Monday to Friday, and only comes back on weekends. Her yard has few large rooms, so it would be a waste for her to live alone at ordinary times.

The structure of Bailan's yard happens to be that the kitchen is connected to two large rooms. As long as the two rooms are opened up and a door is opened on the wall connecting the kitchen and the room, it can be used for entertaining guests, and it can be used for entertaining guests when the weather is fine in summer. Put a few more tables in the yard. This size is enough for the time being. After two years, the self-employed can be listed for business, and then consider moving to other larger and more suitable places for catering.

They plan to find a master to start work on the 15th day of the first lunar month, and strive to get their business up and running before the school starts.

Hancheng had already reported to the laboratory on the eighth day of the new year. The formal registration of graduate students should be completed before the end of February. Hancheng has already registered, but he will not be able to get the admission ticket until March, and the national unified examination will not be taken until mid-May. In other words, Hancheng still has a few months to review.

Han Cheng was determined to take the postgraduate entrance exam this time. From the beginning of the new year, he returned to a state of intense review. The cubs knew that their father was going to take the test, so they didn't bother him, and let him review with peace of mind.

Xueba Onigiri classmates picked up Dad's book and read it for a while, and found it! Do not! Understand! The child was depressed for several seconds, and made up his mind to learn the basics of junior and senior high school honestly in the future.

Su Xiaoxiao's school start time is also at the end of February, which is similar to the school start time of the cubs.

The first people in the family to start school turned out to be Xiaoroubao and Xiaotangyuan. The two little cubs have been carried to class by their elder brothers since they were young. They are not unfamiliar with school at all. They can make new friends in kindergarten. Xiaoroubao is a social expert. I'm looking forward to it. I ask my mother every day when I can go to school and meet new friends.

Xiaoroubao and Xiaotangyuan are in the teaching and running kindergarten affiliated to Capital University. Hancheng completed the admission procedures early in the morning. This year's kindergarten starts a little earlier than in previous years. Before the university starts, the 15th day of the first month will pass. school starts.

These days, most people do not have the awareness of sending their children to kindergarten, nor do they have private kindergartens. They are all affiliated kindergartens of the government and various units. However, no one in the family takes their children to kindergarten.

On the first day of school, the two little cubs got up earlier than usual. They didn't have the habit of sleeping in. When it was time to get up, they rubbed their eyes and got up. It was hard to go out to class on such a cold day, but There is no way, the two brothers and Su Xiaoxiao have to go to school in a few days, and there is really no one at home to take them.

The kindergarten is not far away, within ten minutes of walking, passing the primary school and then to the kindergarten.

The sky is beautiful, there has been no snow in the past few days, the sun is hanging high early, and the whole family is dispatched to send the two cubs to school.

At the entrance of the kindergarten are all children with separation anxiety and crying, and Tang Tiantian, the child I met that day, was also on the list. She hugged her grandmother's legs with snot and tears and refused to enter.

For this kind of behavior, the little meat bun really couldn't understand it. He leaned on the shoulder of the rice ball and asked his brother, "Big brother, why is everyone crying so badly? Isn't it fun to go to kindergarten?"

Onigiri said: "They have never been to kindergarten, so how do they know if it is fun or not, they are reluctant to leave their families."

Xiaoroubao still didn't understand: "But aren't you coming to pick us up at night? Can't you just leave for a while?"

If it weren't for how to say it, if all children were as easy to take care of as little meat buns, there would be no parents with heart disease.

Han Cheng put down the little dumplings and instructed her: "Little dumplings stay with my brother obediently, listen to the teacher's words, and tell my brother not to be tricky. Dad will come to pick you up after school in the afternoon."

Xiao Tangyuan bent her eyes and nodded obediently: "I know Baba, I will take good care of my brother."

Han Cheng: "..." He doesn't seem to mean that, but the son is more troublesome than the daughter, it seems that the same is true.

After Xiao Tangyuan finished speaking, dong dong dong ran to Tang Tiantian: "Sister Tiantian, are you coming to kindergarten too?"

Grandma Tiantian was finally relieved to see Xiaotangyuan coming: "Tiantian, look, sister Xiaotangyuan and brother Xiaoroubao also go to kindergarten, everyone has to go to kindergarten, you don't have to be afraid, can you play with sister Xiaotangyuan? ?"

Xiaotangyuan took out a candy from the small schoolbag and handed it to Tang Tiantian: "Come on, sister Tiantian, my sister invites you to eat candy, let's go in together."

Tang Tiantian then took Xiaotangyuan by the hand and separated from her grandmother.

Xiaoroubao wrinkled his nose with a look of disgust, and said old-fashionedly, "It's fine for the little girl to keep crying, why do these little brothers cry so much?"

Xiaoroubao defaults to being his elder brother, but in fact he is growing fast. Judging by his stature, he is the oldest child here. Among these children, Tang Tiantian is a few months younger than him, and most of the children are older than him and Xiaotangyuan. be big.

Su Xiaoxiao squatted down and rubbed Xiaoroubao's head: "Xiaoroubao is an older brother. You have to take good care of your two younger sisters. You are not allowed to bully your classmates, let alone fight, do you hear me?"

Xiaoroubao nodded heavily: "I know, Mama, you have said it many times in the past few days."

Xiaoroubao held Xiaotangyuan, Xiaotangyuan held Tang Tiantian, and the three children went to school happily holding hands, and grandma Tiantian finally felt relieved.

"Thanks to your children, otherwise our family Tiantian would not know how long we would cry." Tiantian grandma said.

Su Xiaoxiao has met Grandma Tiantian a few times recently, and she can also chat a few times. She is a familiar neighbor: "Most children are like this. They get used to crying for a few days."

Grandma Tiantian said with emotion: "It's still your family who can teach children. You can see that your children are the best."

Su Xiaoxiao took Xiaodoubao back and asked, "Is Tiantian turning three years old? Why did she go to kindergarten at such a young age?"

Sweet grandma: "She is almost three and a half years old. She is weak and slow to grow. She should have been sent here in the second half of last year, but she was crying and arguing that I didn't want me to be soft-hearted and brought it back. I have to send it back this year. ."

Su Xiaoxiao said: "Actually, there are adults at home, so it doesn't matter if I send it to kindergarten later."

Grandma Tiantian is in good spirits. Looking at her age, she is still under fifty, so it should be easy to take care of children.

Grandma Tiantian sighed and said: "Although the family is ugly, you are all good people. I will tell you, Tiantian was born when my unsatisfactory son went to the countryside and married another female educated youth. After the city, the female educated youth thought that our family was poor and climbed high, and after the divorce procedure, she left Tiantian and ran with them.

My son came back to the city to replace my job, and my job was given to him, so I would have to be laid off. My salary is not high, how can I support my family of three? Didn't I see those privately run restaurants nearby that were looking for jobs? Thinking that my body is not bad, I used to work in the workshop not much easier than carrying dishes and washing dishes, so I thought of applying for a try. "

Grandma Tiantian said and then sighed: "Seeing that the educated youths are returning to the city one after another, I estimate that in a year or two, no matter whether there is any unit to accept all the educated youths who have been sent to the countryside, they will be put back, and by then it may even be the work of washing dishes. I have to compete with those young and strong young people, how can I compete with this old bone."

Hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao and Han Cheng looked at each other, and Han Cheng nodded slightly.

Su Xiao smiled and said, "Grandma Tiantian, I'm planning to open a restaurant with Sister Lan next door, but I'm short of staff. If you don't mind, you can come to work here, but it's all dirty work."

Grandma Tiantian looked at Su Xiaoxiao in disbelief: "You, aren't you college students at Capital University? Why do you still open a restaurant?"

Su Xiaoxiao joked: "It's not easy to raise children, you have to start a side business to be able to support the four children in the family."

Grandma Tiantian believed it and nodded: "That's right, your college subsidy is not enough to support four children, you are willing to invite me, I thank God for it, what else would you mind? Don't worry, I'm only four years old this year. Fifteen years old, very strong, my man left early, a widow of mine took my son up, and now I can take up my granddaughter."

It's really hard to read scriptures in every family. Most people in this world are moving forward with a heavy load, but life is always going to be difficult.

The only thing Su Xiaoxiao can do is to try to offer her a higher salary: "Then we'll settle it, but I won't open until the end of February. I wonder if you can wait."

Grandma Tiantian breathed a sigh of relief: "I can, I will wait for as long as I can, we are neighbors, you two are college students, can you still lie to me?"

Su Xiaoxiao felt at ease with the implementation of the good manpower. To be honest, she was really worried about inviting those outsiders who didn't know the root cause to come back. The cubs inevitably run into the store all day, and the small meat buns and small dumplings are still so small, it is always right to be careful.

Chen Ping'an started school early, and he also went to report to school early this morning. He unconditionally trusts Su Xiaoxiao's family from Hancheng to Xiaotangyuan. Bai Lan does business with such people, and he puts 10,000 heart goes.

On the 16th day of the first month, it is advisable to break ground.

The people who remodeled the yard were recruited by Bai Lan, who were all local hard-working people. As soon as she told them about her request, she began to tear it down.

Hancheng has already contacted the woodworkers to do the tables and stools, and they will be delivered when the work here is completed.

As for the purchase of pots and pans, the old man came forward to find someone to arrange it, and Uncle Yang brought it over with the car early this morning.

Xiao Wu also began to help the old man's house to find a nearby yard. In the future, Uncle Yang still lives in the old man's house.

As for the requirements for the yard, the old man asked Xiao Wu to ask his grandson. The only requirement for the yard is that the yard should not be too far away from the rice ball house. Xiao Wu is also worried. There are only a few alleys around, and the yard that can be sold is already available. Not much, and still set such a narrow range, where will he make a yard in a while?
