Cub Nursery

"Here are your clothes." The snake-bodied cub lay on the kang, poked the clothes piled up in front with the tip of its tail and said, "And your bedding and bed, the two cabinets over there are yours, you can put them own stuff."

The claw cub walked over, stretched out its claws, and brushed against the door of the wooden cabinet a few times, and a chunky Messi appeared on it.

The small nest is very soft, with a raised area around it, and a mattress can be laid inside, and the bedding on it is so large that it can cover the small nest.

Clothes came one by one, all of which looked similar to those of the cubs, soft and warm, with thick boots and thick hats, and even single clothes for hot weather.

Messi sat against the wall, a little uncomfortable.

He was originally a big monster, and his memory as a baby was a long, long time ago, and he almost couldn't remember it.

"Did you name Messi yourself?" The snake-bodied cub leaned over and enviously said, "What a good name."

"Well, I picked it up myself." Messi nodded. He had actually forgotten why he chose this name in the first place, but when he saw the envious little cub, he couldn't help holding his head up.

Anyway, he was once an adult monster, unlike these little cubs.

"Then do you know how old you are?" The war rabbit cub ran over to help Messi pack his clothes, "I'm actually hundreds of years old, but I don't even remember. The adults said that I was the same as them, starting from this year , so this year is one year old, a false year."

"I don't remember." Messi was a little puzzled, "Is age important?"

"En!" The Cub Zhantu nodded vigorously, "My lord said that every year is very important. On the day of the New Year, you will be one year older. There will be birthdays in the future. After your birthday, you will be one year older. The younger ones will be called The older brother, Dan Baobao is our younger brother."

The egg baby lying in the nest shook.

Messi found it very interesting. He suddenly felt that it seemed good to be a cub now, and he didn't look bad at all.

Unbelievably, and unknowingly, Messi found that he was very young and the cubs were mingling together, and even felt that he was a little cub, no different from everyone else. The memories of the past seemed to be fading slowly, so that If you don't think about it carefully, you won't remember it at all.

Yan Xun took the cubs into the carriage and went to the capital.

The panic brought about by the envoys of the demon kingdom has completely disappeared. There are stalls and people hanging out on the street again, the shops on the street are also open, and the teahouses and restaurants are overcrowded again.

"Everyone dares to go out now." The snake body cub quietly lifted the curtain of the carriage with the tip of its tail to look outside, and said with a smack, "My lord, why are the people so timid?"

"Because they want to protect themselves." Yan Xun said gently.

"Then when do they not need to protect themselves?" The snake-bodied cub rested its chin on the tip of its tail, lost in thought.

Yan Xun pinched the cub's face and said with a smile, "When it's safe enough and someone protects them."

"Well. Then I'll protect them." The cub's tail curled into a circle, which meant making a fist.

Messi listened beside him, feeling deeply in his heart.

On the most prosperous street in the capital, you can see family members coming and going in a few steps, and occasionally you can see young masters and elder brothers walking by on horseback, followed by groups of servants and servants.

The carriage stopped at the busiest place, Yan Xun got off first, followed by the cubs one by one, Jing Fengye got off the carriage last.

"My lord, why are you here?" Qin Liu came out of the restaurant, happened to see Yan Xun, and hurried over.

A group of meritorious disciples in the back bowed their hands respectfully at Yan Xun.

"Business is good?" Yan Xun asked with a smile.

"That's pretty good. From now on, we will also deliver the hot pot in restaurants and inns." Qin Liu said proudly, "Those who sell their own hot pot will lose their business now."

"Not bad, not bad." Yan Xun nodded with a smile, "I have something to do here, you guys go and do it first."

"Okay." Qin Liu hurriedly yelled, and ran away with a group of meritorious children.

At the beginning, Qin Liu took people to various yamen to deliver hot pot. The business seemed to be booming, but in fact he didn't make a lot of money.Later, all major restaurants, restaurants, teahouses, and even some small vendors in the capital began to think about hot pot soup bases and dipping sauces by themselves, and began to sell them outside and deliver them to home.

Those people tasted the sweetness, and planned to unite to deal with Yan Xun, spreading rumors that there was a plague on the other side of the river.

As a result, there was no plague, and the typhoid granule Yan Xun created was still for the sake of the people. Once this incident happened, those restaurants, restaurants, teahouses, and small vendors couldn't stand the impact at all, and the hot pot couldn't be sold at all.

But there were still many people who wanted to eat hot pot, so Qin Liu's business improved instantly.

Now the meritorious children under Qin Liu's hands are so busy every day that they beat the back of their heads, and they also manage many people under their hands. They are respectively in charge of a certain area in the capital. When the hot pot business comes up, the money they earn accumulates. I didn't even dare to think about it before.

Messi followed behind the cubs, looking around curiously.

The last time he entered the city, what he saw seemed completely different from what he saw now.

The people on the street have changed. Some of them like to watch the cubs secretly, some walk away quickly with fearful expressions on their faces, and some think they are hiding well and point at them.

"Because the last time you entered the city, the people on the side of the road and the shops are all people we know." Seeing Messi's doubts, the cubs explained, "There are so many people in the capital, how can everyone like us? ?It’s as good as silver money, but there are people who don’t like silver money.”

"It stinks!" Suddenly, Messi smelled a very strange smell. He quickly covered his nose and watched in amazement the two beautiful girls in front of him walked by together, accompanied by a strange smell.

"That's stinky tofu." The little cub explained, "It smells stinky, but it tastes delicious. We make it ourselves, and I guess we'll be able to eat it in a few days. You can try it then, it's good." have eaten."

The little cub said, swallowing quickly.

Yan Xun stood in the middle of the street, with a group of cubs beside him, holding a thin wooden board with white paper in his hand, writing and drawing on it with a pencil.

Someone stood watching and counted the cubs by the way, "One, two, three... twelve? One, two, three... twelve? That's right, why did it become twelve?"

"You read that right, their nursery school also has children."

"I don't know, my eyes are blurred."

"I don't know what Master Yan is going to do here..."

"Could it be that the railway is going to be built again?"

Last time when Yan Xun built the railway, he bulldozed Jia's house, some of the beauties raised by Jia Buzhen were scattered, and Brother Liu took the rest back and arranged work for him.

Jia's house was gone, but Yan Xun didn't take it for nothing, he specially sent a sum of money, and it is said that he hired a doctor for Jia Buzhen.

Thinking of this, everyone thought of the stupid Jia Buzhen again.The Jia family has a concubine, and now she is Concubine Jia, who is pregnant with a dragon seed. It is said that with the concubine Xian taking care of her, the child will be born smoothly, and the Jia family will only get better and better in the future, but Jia's elders have shallow eyelids. Looking at Jia Buzhen was like looking at the eyeballs, and he was so petted.

"From here to here, extending from the back, leaving a trail around, what do you think?" Yan Xun asked, pointing to the temporary drawings he had drawn.

Jing Fengye leaned over and took a look, "Let's leave a part of the door, let's build a small square."

"En." Yan Xun nodded, "When the time comes, all the cement statues of the cubs will be brought over. This is the property of our nursery school."

"I don't know if these shop owners will be willing..." Jing Fengye had no objection anyway, and Yan Xun did whatever he wanted.

"Talk one by one." Yan Xun drew a symbol on the blueprint, "Then it's decided."

The area marked out is very large, with many shops in the front and houses of several families in the back.The surrounding roads have to be built separately, covering a larger area.

Yan Xun took the cubs one by one, the terms were all pre-determined, basically not negotiable.

The first shop sells fabrics, which are basically filled with silk and satin. Occasionally, they can sell leftovers from tributes, and the background behind them is not low.

"My lord, I can't decide what to do at this moment, you'd better come back another day." Shopkeeper Wu said with a smirk, and didn't say to go back and tell the master, nor did he say what the master's attitude is, just to drive Yan Xun away.

"Let's go." Yan Xun didn't get angry, and took the cubs to the next house.

Generally, when a shop sees Yan Xun coming and reads the terms and conditions, they will basically ask the master behind the scenes, and they will quickly nod.

The family behind the house is Dali Temple Qing Beiqi, from the third grade, one level higher than Honglu Temple.However, Bei Qi is Zhou Guang's disciple, although he doesn't communicate with him on weekdays, he respects his teacher the most. As soon as Yan Xun came to the door, Bei Qi agreed.The other house is the house of the Jia family. Yan Xun has inquired specifically about it. The land occupied is the yard of the uncle of the Jia family, Jia Buzhen's uncle, which is very remote.

For this matter, Yan Xun asked Du Qinsheng to return to the mansion. The next day, the old lady of the Du family entered the palace. With the help of the concubine Xian, the house of the Jia family was not a problem.

The houses of other families occupy less land, so they are basically negotiable.

In the end, there was only a shop selling fabrics left, Yan Xun inquired and found out that the shop belonged to Zhao Yuanting.

The minister of the Ministry of Industry, the fourth rank, had been to Honglu Temple before, but he usually hid in the back, and Hu Ruchong was in front of everything.Now that Hu Ru is gone, Zhao Yuanting probably did it on purpose.

"Since that's the case, let's set aside this land separately and start working." Yan Xun said.

In a word, Sun Yuanbao came with a group of brothers, men and women.On the other side of the workshop, Little Shitou was pulled out and brought a man with him.Li Mushi hurriedly brought his craftsmen to the scene to direct in person.

The marked out land was temporarily blocked with wooden boards, which were nearly two people high, and it was impossible to see the inside from the outside.

The original courtyard walls and houses, except the shop, were all demolished.

The foundation is dug deep and filled with stone and cement.

The flame cub took the lead and built a steelmaking furnace next to it, and the black and white cubs stood by to help weld the steel bars.

Standing on the road, you can't see the inside, but you can see it if you climb up the roof. Many people climbed up to the roof to see. The second floor of the restaurant opposite has become a must-see for the rich.

Everyone likes to watch the excitement inside.

The men looked at the people inside and quickly built a concrete building, two wide floors, and the middle floor was almost entirely made of reinforced concrete.

"What's that?" Someone asked seeing the towering steel tower crane.

"I heard that it was designed by an engineer, just like the craftsmen in the past."

"Now the craftsmen are so powerful?"

"It is said that the building on the other side of the river was built by craftsmen. What are the blueprints? My uncle is an engineer. I took a look at the blueprints. They are all ghost symbols, each of which is smaller than an ant. Even we can't understand it."

"Huh? By the way, is that a cub or a child, why is it so powerful?"

Everyone hurriedly looked over, and they could find something new every day, which was more interesting than watching a big show on the stage.

The frame of the two-story, huge concrete building has been built, the windows on both sides have not been inlaid, and the door is extremely wide.The black and white cubs and the flame cubs are working together to build a row of rolling doors.

"Messi, help smash this rock." The long-haired cub waved its paw at Messi.

"Here we come." Messi hurried over with his short legs.

He ran over, approached the big rock, took a deep breath and blew it out, the stone in front of him shattered into small pieces, very neatly broken.

This is Messi's ability.

When he was a big demon, he was even more powerful, the sound he made could smash many things, and it was precisely because of this ability that he was feared by the Tiger Demon King. He was caught out even though he had been hiding in the deep mountains without doing anything. Bite flesh and blood.

Even if he has become a cub now and his abilities have weakened a lot, he is still very dangerous.

But Yan Xun was not afraid, and even explained to him that the sound is actually a kind of wave, but with a wider frequency range, and it can do many things.

At that time, Messi also saw the little cubs take out very weird iron bumps, which were called tuning forks, and when one was knocked, the other would also shake, which was more magical than magic.

Now Messi is helping to smash some stones and other things on the construction site, and the craftsmen are very respectful to him.

When the men outside saw Messi smashing such a large rock, they immediately understood, "It's a baby monster, not a child."

"That cub is really powerful. He helped push the house a while ago, right? You haven't seen that scene, it's so spectacular."

"Hey, who said I didn't see..."

Xu Liangzheng passed by below, poised his neck and said, "Aren't you afraid of monsters? He can easily kill a person, and without anyone noticing, no one can stop him."

"We don't beat him or scold him. What are we afraid of? The cubs in the nursery school obey the laws of the Great Qin Dynasty. If there is any problem, go to the yamen to solve it."

"Those who are not of my race must have a different heart!" Xu Liangzheng said firmly, and gradually became impassioned, just waiting for someone to agree, then he can make a long speech.

However, the men on the roof did not agree, but smiled and said: "Then you say, men, brothers, and sisters, are they the same kind of people? If they are the same kind of people, then why can't men have children, but brothers Can I have a baby with my sister?"

"I also heard that you secretly ate hot pot at home. The small iron pot for cooking hot pot was made by young monsters. Do you dare to use it?"

"If you really insist that you are not of my race, you will have a different heart and don't have anything to do with monsters. I respect you as a man. Otherwise, you just talk nonsense and want people to agree with you. You are acting maliciously." Do you understand the rhythm?"

The men talked one after the other, and Xu Liangzheng finally understood what rhythm was, and he said it all over his face again, and hurried away covering his face.

In the past, those people basically just said a few words, but how come they have become much smarter.

**

Yan Xun kept the baby egg in his arms all day long, even when he was sleeping, he stuffed it in the innermost part of the bed to keep him warm.

"Why do you think the baby egg hasn't broken its shell yet?" Yan Xun asked.

Jing Fengye didn't know what to ask, so he could only guard with Yan Xun.

After a few days like this, Yan Xun took Dan Baobao with him when he went to the construction site, sleeping at night, bathing, cooking, and going to the beach, he took Dan Baobao with him. There is no chance to be alone with Yan Xun.

At night, the cubs all fell asleep in the opposite room, and continued to sleep with the egg baby. Jing Feng couldn't sleep at night, so she got up and knelt beside her and looked at Yan Xun.

Danbao rolled around in the bed, and Gululu rolled out of the bed.

Jing Fengye reached out and grabbed Baby Egg, held it in his palm, and whispered: "When will you break the shell, everyone is looking forward to it."

Egg Baby shook.

Yan Xun opened his eyes in a daze, and was shocked to see Jing Fengye looking at him with resentment.

An oil lamp was lit in the small room at some point, and Dan Baobao was placed under the oil lamp. Jing Fengye took a picture book and showed Dan Baobao one by one.

He was afraid that making noise would disturb Yan Xun, so he deliberately didn't speak, and only showed the picture book to Dan Baobao.

Usually when Yan Xun is free, he will draw the stories he has told into a picture book, and occasionally the cubs will take them out to read and tell others to listen to.Dan Baobao had heard it from the cubs, but now Jing Fengye deliberately didn't talk about it.

"Why are you fussing with Dan Baobao?" Yan Xun got up, stroked Dan Baobao, and yawned, "Sleep."

"Baby Dan doesn't break the shell, we haven't been together for a long time." Jing Fengye was aggrieved, but at the same time he held up Baby Dan, "I'm going to send him to sleep on the opposite side."

Yan Xun was really sleepy, he quickly waved his hands, "Go, go."

Dan Baobao hasn't broken its shell for so long, Yan Xun doesn't force it anymore.

Jing Fengye sent the baby egg to the opposite room, seeing that Messi just woke up, he hurriedly stuffed the baby egg into his little nest, and then came back happily.Seeing Yan Xun falling asleep again, Jing Fengye hurriedly dug out the rouge, lifted the quilt and got in by herself.

No wonder those men who had children only a year after they got married are often full of resentment, because their brothers and sisters only care about their children and don't care about their men at all.

This time he finally got the chance, Jing Fengye would not miss it, he thought schemingly, it is better to let the cubs take care of Dan Baobao, so that Yan Xun will not be distracted and have no time to take care of him.

**

The huge cement statue of the cub was moved and set into the ground.

Like the image of the cub at the gate of Honglu Temple, there are smooth wooden benches around to sit and rest.

There are large expanses of concrete pavement on the ground, with occasional flower beds surrounded by wooden benches.

Before the surrounding wooden boards were removed, people who liked to watch the excitement squatted on the roof to see the changes inside clearly. If there were any changes every day, they must be spread by word of mouth.

Others like to inquire about this, but He Lao Er doesn't need to inquire about it, because he can go in and see the scene directly. As for why He Lao Er can go in, we have to start from the beginning.

The He family was originally very poor, and their lives were not very good. They were surrounded by rich and powerful families, and they built a house in the cracks to live in it. Usually, the alleys in front of the door are full of bright and beautiful families. Only the He family, not even the servants of the big family.

Originally He Laoer planned to sell the house to the servants of the big family next door and move to another place, but Yan Xun suddenly came to the door himself and asked him to sign a contract.

The He family's dilapidated house is about to be occupied, and the contract is clearly written, with the official seal of the yamen on it, saying that the house will be given to Yan Xun, and Yan Xun will give him a sum of money and arrange a place to live, not only that , but also to help find work.

This is more worrying than parents and mothers. If there is anything that He Lao Er does not want to sign, he signs the contract on the spot.

Sure enough, Yan Xun helped him find a suite in the cement building on the other side of the river, and he could work in the workshop there in the future. If he didn't want to, Yan Xun would show up in the capital to buy a better yard for the He family.

He Laoer's family discussed for a day, and they all agreed to go to the other side of the river, because going to the other side of the river can not only live in a cement building, but also work better.

Now He Laoer's daughter-in-law has gone to a tofu workshop, his son has gone to a school, and even his father and mother have found work sweeping cement roads, and he himself has come here to work with the men.

When this two-story cement building opens, he can work as a tally clerk in it. Anyway, the work is easy and the wages are high. It seems that shopping in it can be cheaper, and there are many benefits.

This early in the morning, He Lao Er got up early, ate warm tofu curd, and then went downstairs.

There was already a row of carriages waiting outside, He Lao Er hurried forward to show his waist badge and get on the carriage.

Like Sun Yuanbao and other men, they started to work when they arrived at the place.

"Second He, I heard that your son is studying in the school, did you help to find out, what kind of place is this... when will it open." During the break, some men asked.

"We'll just wait, and we'll have to wait if we ask." Second He said, "Sun Chen'er is also studying in the school, and he can still go to the nursery school. Why didn't you ask the cubs?"

"No way, Brother Chen has been playing every day for the past few days. He didn't take many exams in the school. He was beaten by his father. He spent several days at home studying by lighting an oil lamp. He didn't go to the nursery school at all."

"You know a lot! Your children will go to school in summer, and see if they can pass the exam!" Sun Yuanbao came over with a straight face, calling everyone to start working.

The men burst into laughter.

Because Sun Yuanbao didn't manage Sun Chen'er well, his brother got angry. He heard that Sun Yuanbao had to sleep in the living room for a day of tutoring for Sun Chen'er. The men were all gloating.

The little cubs in the distance also pricked up their ears to eavesdrop.

Messi pursed his lips and asked in a low voice, "Why didn't they ask us directly?"

The snake-body cub found a clean big rock, climbed up, curled up its tail, and said crisply after hearing the words: "Don't pay attention to them. My lord said that they are actually looking for something to talk about. This can enhance communication. Really want to talk to them?" Let them ask us, I reckon only Sun Chen'er dares to come."

"That's right, although we are monster cubs, we still have heavy responsibilities now, big and small are at the level of engineers."

Messi heard it, and quickly raised his head and chest, very proud.
