A ragged cub at the beginning

In the blink of an eye, another half month had passed, and the health of the Tang family members had been adjusted. Sun Banxia was ready to say goodbye, and she was going to the next place to travel and practice medicine.

Tang Xu was so busy that she went straight to the kindergarten as soon as she left home in the morning. The kindergarten was basically built, except for the wall painting, and she had been busy with this in recent days. When she got home in the evening, Sun Banxia pouted and said that she didn't listen to him while giving her acupuncture, and she would not treat her if she continued like this.

The students in the academy had to attend classes, so they could only come after class, but they couldn’t paint for long before it got dark.

Du Yun felt sorry for her because she was so busy that she didn't even have time to drink water, so he asked for leave to help. The student saw how the teacher was doing, so he also asked for leave. It took him seven days to finish the painting.

Tang Xu slept until noon and woke up. He was yawning and was dumbfounded when he saw Sun Banxia had packed her luggage.

Completely forgot about it.

She glanced at Tang Yao and said to Sun Banxia, ​​"Banxia, ​​my kindergarten will open in a few days. Why don't you stay and see what's going on? You can't find this anywhere else. If you miss this opportunity, you'll never see it again."

"Indeed, I have never seen it anywhere else. Your master didn't ask you to stop all the way. Why don't you rest for a few days? I heard that there are precious medicinal herbs on many hills near this town. Don't you want to see what they are?" Tang Yao chimed in.

Hearing that there were precious herbs, Sun Banxia became interested, "Really? Which mountain is it on?"

"I don't know the details. When the time comes..." Tang Yao glanced at his idle brother, "Let Tang Qing escort you. Let's go and take a look."

"?" Tang Qing was suddenly assigned a task and looked at her brother in confusion.

"Okay, thank you! You really are a good person!" Sun Banxia said happily, "Then I'll stay for a few more days."

"Okay." Tang Xu smiled like a fox.

After lunch, she said, "Banxia, ​​would you like to visit my kindergarten?"

"Okay! I'll go see what's the difference between this and the school in our valley." Anyway, there's nothing to do for now, so I'll go pick herbs tomorrow morning.

"Let's all go together!" Tang Xu simply took the whole family to visit.

The plaque of the kindergarten is written in cursive characters by Tang Xu himself. It is not a regular square shape. Instead, the characters are carved out separately and connected with winding flower vines.

After thinking for a long time, she decided to use forsythia as the garden flower of the kindergarten. Forsythia is the messenger of early spring. Its blooming means the arrival of spring. It means lively and lovely, and has strong vitality, so it also means hope, which is very suitable for kindergarten.

It was the time when the forsythia was in full bloom, so she specially transplanted some and planted them in the garden.

Below the plaque is a wooden fence gate, through the gaps you can clearly see the play facilities in the park.

"Wow, so many toys, so big! A slide bigger than the one at home! A mushroom slide!" Fang Zijun was holding on to the wooden door, eager to go in.

"Qing, Yang, You, Er, Garden." Qiyue pointed her little finger and read the words one by one. "These words are so beautiful."

"This is forsythia! So beautiful!" Zhao Yuniang also looked up at the plaque.

"Aunt Xu, we want to go in and play." Du Jiarui looked inside eagerly and began to get anxious.

Tang Xu opened the door and saw a mushroom-shaped slide, a flower swing, a pony seesaw, a climbing wall, a tree house, a mushroom hut...

There was a burst of "Wow!" and even Tang Qing couldn't help but run over. Sun Banxia was dazzled and waited until Qiyue and the others started playing before she walked over.

A woman holding a child passed by, and the child stared at her, unable to move. She followed the child's gaze and took two steps closer, curiously, "Hey, what is this place?"

"This is a kindergarten! We are a school here, enrolling children aged 4 to 8. They will learn some simple reading, poetry and martial arts." Tang Xu explained.

"Oh, how much is it?" the woman asked.

"Two taels of silver for half a year." Tang Xu said.

The woman frowned. It wasn't expensive, but it wasn't cheap either.

"Let the children come in and play for a while. School hasn't started yet, so there's no charge." Tang Xu invited.

The woman looked down at the child, her eyes wide open. "Thank you."

July and the others are not overbearing people. When they see a child they don’t know, they will enthusiastically teach him how to play.

The woman looked around. This place was originally an abandoned house, and it was recently rebuilt. She had seen it several times when she passed by, and she only remembered that it was very big. Now it seems to be really big. There are not many houses built, and they are mainly concentrated in the middle. There are all kinds of children's toys at the entrance, and there are many winter jasmines planted under the courtyard wall, which are brilliant and lovely.

She unconsciously walked closer. The house not far away looked like an ordinary house, but there were brightly colored paintings on the wall.

There were short and fat little people, various cute animals, and even the flowers, plants and trees were round and plump, weird and cute. The woman couldn't help laughing.

It can be seen that this place is very attentive to children. She heard her son's joyful cheers and screams behind her, and she began to hesitate whether to send her child here. It is not very difficult for her family to take out the money, but she doesn't know whether the child's father agrees.

Hearing the noise, Tang Lele and a few others came over stealthily.

"Nia." Tang Ji ran over like a little duck and hugged Tang Xu's legs.

"Good boy, did Aji miss me?" Tang Xu picked him up and said to Tang Lele and the others, "Is it fun here?"

Tang Lele shook his head. "I haven't played it before, but it looks like fun."

Tang Xu was stunned. "You guys live here, but you've never gone out to have fun?"

"I'm afraid it might get broken." Tang Lele felt a little envious as she watched July and the others having fun.

"It's made of wood, how can it break so easily? Go and play with it. You can play with it whenever you want in the future. It won't break." Tang Xu put Tang Ji down, "Aji, go and play with it too."

Tang Ji nodded and took her sister's hand to play on the swing.

"Xiaoyang, you guys go too." Tang Xu looked at her family members who hadn't moved and pushed them. They observed Tang Xu's expression and made sure she was serious before happily walking over.

They didn't play with it directly, but touched it carefully first, and a few of them gathered together to whisper and exclaim in amazement.

Tang Xu ignored them and saw that there were children who couldn't walk anymore, so she invited them to come in and play. However, the indoor area was temporarily closed, so she told Yu Xiaotao to invite children in if they wanted to play, and she went indoors.

The small tables and benches in the classroom have been placed in place. Xingzi cleaned the place when she had nothing to do and made it spotless.

The small bed in the dormitory is 1.5 meters long, with guardrails on all sides, leaving only a small opening for sitting on.

The bedding has already been ordered from Sansi Embroidery House, but the quantity is too large and Zhou’s Cloth Shop cannot take it.

Then came the indoor entertainment area, which was divided into several zones. The construction area had building blocks, the reading area had picture books that she could bring from home, the drawing area had paper and pens to be filled, the music area had small drums and chimes, and the gaming area had adventure chess, flying chess, and hopscotch, all of which she had drawn herself. The chess pieces were made of furniture waste that the carpenter boss gave to him directly, and that was all for now.

She turned to the faculty and staff lounge area, where there were desks and chairs in the office area, and some small rooms with desks, chairs and beds.

Xingzi and her people live here, but her room is bigger and has several small beds. The children live together and there is no table or anything. She will make adjustments later depending on the situation.

The kitchen has four stoves, which should be enough. Outside the kitchen is the canteen, where employees can eat, and the children's meals will be taken to the classroom. Outside the canteen is a vegetable garden and a livestock breeding area, which are still empty for the time being and will be prepared when the employees arrive.

At the back of the house is the training ground, which is spacious, with the ground paved with bluestone slabs, and there are wooden men for practicing martial arts. We can add anything else we need later.

Tang Xu painted some food on the exterior wall of the cafeteria, and some coherent short stories on the other exterior walls. Only flowers, plants and trees were painted on the interior walls to prevent children from being distracted.

Tang Xu turned around, feeling full of pride. She watched this place being built step by step, and then slowly filled and decorated. She hoped that all the children could have fun here and have a wonderful childhood.

The children were playing here, and Tang Xu went to the shop where he hadn't received an order for a long time. As soon as he approached, he found that the door of the shop was surrounded by people and there was a noise coming from inside.

"Let the girl go! Let her go! The child is still here! Do you have any shame?" It was the embarrassed and angry voice of the woman.

"What are you doing! Let go!"

It’s Qi Qing!

Tang Xu shouted for people to make way, but the crowd of onlookers couldn't even squeeze in.

"You little girl who has been showing off in public, you just miss a man, come back with your brother, and your brother will love you well!" The obscene male voice came again.

Tang Xu was anxious. She shouted, "It's boiling water. Be careful! Get out of the way!"

The crowd reacted now, and the people nearby turned around, and Tang Xu took the opportunity to squeeze in.

Qi Qing's arm was held by a man. The man's face was flushed, his eyes were narrowed, and his other hand was reaching out to Qi Qing's chest.

"Let me go!" Qi Qing was terrified. He kept struggling with his arms to back away, crying.

Tang Xu was filled with anger and rushed over and kicked the man to the ground.

"Ah! Who hit me!" The man let out a scream and fell to the ground. Just as he was about to get up, he was kicked in the head again. He immediately fell back dizzy.

"Your aunt!" Tang Xu remembered Tang Ling's teaching that inflicting pain without killing people, and kicked them hard a few times, "You're drunk, right? I'll sober you up today!"

Qi Qing was stunned for a moment, then ran into the house crying.

Everyone was stunned. They had never seen such a tough girl before. The dull sound of the shoes kicking people and the man's scream of pain made everyone take two steps back.

A woman holding a child stood out. Not only was she holding one child in her arms, but there was also a little girl behind her with red eyes hugging her legs.

Tang Xu took a breath and asked, "What's going on?"

The woman holding the child finally woke up from her shock. She looked at the screaming man on the ground, and felt a surge of pleasure in her heart, followed by panic. This made her expression look a little distorted. "This is my husband. He drank too much. Please don't blame me, girl."

"Why didn't he pull a grown man when he was drunk? Why didn't he pull you? Why did he pull the most beautiful girl here? This wine is quite magical." Tang Xu was annoyed when he heard it. He forced a forced smile and kicked the man hard again.

The man howled, and was completely sober. "Auntie, please forgive me. I won't dare to do it again."

Chunhua was stunned when she heard him begging for mercy. It turned out that he was not invincible. He would feel pain, he would be knocked down, he was not as powerful and terrifying as she thought.

Those who originally thought that Tang Xu was cruel began to discuss, yes, how could he find the most beautiful one when he was really drunk? Why didn't he ask a man?

"You dare to act wild in my house? I give you face!" Tang Xu stepped hard on the wrist of Qi Qing's right hand, "This is the hand that grabbed my girl, right! Right!"

"Ah! It's broken! My hand! It's broken!" The man bounced back in pain.

"It's okay if it's broken. Go to the clinic and get your hair done. I'll pay for your medical expenses." Tang Xu said, and then looked up at the people around her. "Everyone, this is a great show."

"It doesn't look good, it doesn't look good!"

"I'm going home. I'm going home."

"How can there be such a tough woman!"

Everyone dispersed, leaving only Wang Chunhua.

"Why don't you pick up your garbage?" Tang Xu was dissatisfied with the fact that she had just spoken for the man, although she looked quite pitiful.

Tang Xu looked at the child in her arms and sighed for her soft-heartedness, "I don't think you can drag him." She lowered her head to look at the man who was still crying out in pain, "Are you going to get out of here or not? If not, I'll give you a few more strokes to loosen up your muscles!"

"Where are the medical expenses?" the man asked timidly, but his face with the aggrieved and frightened expression was really disgusting.

"I don't have medical expenses, but I'm willing to pay for the funeral expenses. Do you want to?" Tang Xu pretended to raise his foot again.

“No, no!” The man rolled back twice and said to the woman, “Wang Chunhua! You bitch! Why don’t you help me up?”

Wang Chunhua shuddered, and her daughter behind her whimpered in fear, and she stopped immediately. Her face was full of confusion, the man on the ground was still shouting, but her daughter behind her was trembling.

"Girl, Wang Chunhua wants to come to the kindergarten to work as a worker. I heard that she can bring her children with her, so she even brought her luggage." Qi Qing wiped her tears and walked out after seeing that everyone had left.

Tang Xu then noticed the small bag on the woman's back, "Then why did it start a commotion?"

"Her man found me and chased after me and pulled me around a few times. He reeked of alcohol and was drunk. When he saw me..." Qi Qing pinched his collar and backed away in fear.

"You can't do this. Next time, practice with the kids. You can kick trash like this one." Tang Xu said, "Go in. Don't be afraid. I'm here."

"Ah."

Watching Qi Qing enter the house, Tang Xu looked at the woman in front of him. He was about to chase her away, not wanting to cause any more trouble. But in a flash, he saw the little girl's exposed arm, with two shocking purple scars on it. Tang Xu gritted his teeth and exhaled heavily, "Working, huh? Follow me."

"I, I still won't go." Wang Chunhua just said this and tears fell. "I'm afraid he will come to cause trouble again and add trouble to you. Today it's all my fault. I will go and kowtow to that girl to apologize." As she said this, she was about to walk into the house.

When she said this, Tang Xu looked at her with higher regard.

"You dare to go! I'll look for you every day!" The man half sat up and said viciously.

This sound frightened the woman and made her tremble again.

"Why haven't you left yet? Are you waiting for the funeral expenses?" Tang Xu approached slowly, "Are you going to leave or not?"

"Get lost!" The man who had been so arrogant just now suddenly became cowardly. When he got up, he slammed his right hand on the ground, howled in pain, and ran while shouting with his teeth bared: "Wang Chunhua! Come back to me quickly! Otherwise, I'll make you pay!"

Wang Chunhua was so scared that she closed her eyes and pulled her daughter to follow.

"Stop, what are you going back for? Going back to get beaten?" Tang Xu looked at the blue finger marks on her neck, "Wait for him to beat you to death? And then beat your daughter to death? How long can the one in his arms survive?"

Wang Chunhua burst into tears when she heard this. The little girl sobbed and called for her mother, and the child in her arms also opened her mouth and howled.

"Okay, come with me. I'm not afraid that he will cause trouble." Tang Xu glanced at the little girl. She looked even worse than Tang Lele at the beginning. She lived worse than a little beggar.

Go out and bring back three people. Yu Xiaotao glanced at the three people and asked, "Workers?"

"Well," Tang Xu looked around and found Xingzi, "Sister Xingzi, please take..." She turned to the woman, "Wang Chunhua, right?"

"Yes, yes." Wang Chunhua nodded, "My daughter's name is Zhao Laier."

Laier, the word er is pronounced with the second tone.
