"Cheng Yan said: "Last year my son came here to go to kindergarten. I had nothing to do at home and wanted to find a job. It happened that others thought the kindergarten salary was low and were unwilling to work, so it was just right for me."

"How much does it cost per month here?" Cheng Xiaolin had a strange feeling.

The problem of low wages in Caojiazhuang Kindergarten was solved by her husband. She did not expect that the same problem existed in her hometown, but she knew that they could not solve it.

Cheng Yan stretched out her fingers: "It's 500 yuan a month. I heard from the principal that it will be increased to 600 yuan next year. It's really not much money."

"That's really not much." Cheng Xiaolin didn't expect that the wages of kindergarten teachers in her hometown were lower than those in Caojiazhuang Kindergarten.

When she went to Caojiazhuang Kindergarten for an interview last year, the principal offered her a salary of 600 yuan, plus a 200 yuan subsidy.

"I have nothing to do. I can look after the children here and get some money, which is pretty good." Cheng Yan said this, her mentality was quite good.

Cheng Xiaolin nodded and did not ask the question in detail: "Where is your partner? Is he still in the provincial capital?"

"Well, he's still working there, but he hasn't graduated from elementary school, can't even read, and can't do other jobs." Cheng Yan said with a smile.

Speaking of this, she didn't feel inferior.

Her partner was really illiterate, but that didn't stop him from making money. He even set up a small team with a few people, and he was considered a small contractor.

"When did you come back? We haven't seen each other for almost two years." Cheng Yan asked her.

Cheng Xiaolin nodded: "It's been almost two years since I last saw you. You weren't at home during the Chinese New Year last year."

"I spent the Chinese New Year at my partner's place last year, and this year I celebrated the Chinese New Year at our house," Cheng Yan said.

The two people were chatting here, and Li Xiaojuan was watching her grandson and granddaughter play on the slide, and the laughter of other children echoed in the kindergarten. This scene seemed particularly harmonious.

Time passed unconsciously until Cheng Xiaolin's cell phone rang, breaking the harmonious scene.

She took out her cell phone and saw that it was a call from her husband, Cao Shujie.

"My husband." Cheng Xiaolin answered the phone.

Seeing that they never went back, Cao Shujie wanted to ask her when she would come back. They went back to Caojiazhuang while it was still dark.

After hearing this, Cheng Xiaolin hesitated for a while and said, "Shujie, how about we stay one night and go back tomorrow."

She said: "Your daughter is playing on the slide here and doesn't want to leave."

"Okay, I didn't have a drink with my dad at noon, so I'm still thinking about the shortcomings and will make up for them in the evening." Cao Shujie said confidently.

Cheng Xiaolin couldn't help laughing and scolding him, but she felt warm in her heart.

When she put down the phone, Cheng Yan asked her: "All three of your family are back."

"Um."

"When will you return to the capital? You work as a kindergarten teacher there, and your salary is quite high, right?" Cheng Yan was a little yearning.

Then I heard Cheng Xiaolin say: "We returned to the countryside from the capital last year and have been staying at my mother-in-law's house."

"The salary of kindergarten teachers in Beijing is indeed higher, around four to five thousand yuan. In some schools, the salary is even higher, but the requirements are also high. You must know a lot of things." Cheng Xiaolin told her.

When Cheng Yan heard this, her eyes widened: "My dear, such a high salary?"

"Then why did you go back to the countryside? What can you do in your hometown?" Cheng Yan became more and more curious.

Cheng Xiaolin said with a smile: "What else can I do? Plant some fruit trees, raise some cattle. When I have nothing to do, I will shoot some videos and buy and sell fruits."

"It's not like working in the capital where someone is in charge. In my hometown, I can do whatever I want and no one cares about me." Speaking of this, Cheng Xiaolin's face was full of happiness.

But after listening to what she said, Cheng Yan still said with a bit of ambivalence: "To be honest, I've had enough of staying in my hometown. I have nothing and can't make any money. I don't dare to buy anything after my salary is paid.

I still want to visit the big places in the capital."

There is no way to explain this. As the saying goes, you are inside and I am outside. I want to go in and have a look, and you want to come out and have a look.

There is another saying, no one's joys and sorrows are connected, nor can one feel the feelings of others.

Cheng Xiaolin felt that this was exactly the case for her and her childhood friend!
