Mixed in the last days as a salted fish

Chapter 397 Minor Support Center
"Leaving aside the matter of money, I have a question. In the past few decades, why didn't you build bridges or subsea tunnels? At that time, there should be no shortage of technology? There should be no shortage of funds, right?" Zhang Hao took the opportunity to ask.

There is a problem here at first glance.

He wanted to listen to the other party's explanation first, and then try to persuade the other party to repair the tunnel, so as not to spend tens of billions more.

Upon hearing this, Chairman Omar patiently explained:
"There are three main reasons why the bridge was not built in the past. First, the Strait of Gibraltar is a golden waterway, and bridge construction will easily affect the efficiency of navigation;

Secondly, the geology on both sides of the strait belongs to limestone mountains. In addition, the depth of the strait is generally 600 meters, and the deepest point is more than 100 meters. "

"Since this is the case, the tunnel should be rebuilt? It is worth spending more money."

Zhang Hao suggested along the way.

"Consul, with such a deep water depth, it is also very difficult to build a tunnel. In addition, there is a third reason. There is a huge geological fault at the bottom of the Strait of Gibraltar, and the risk of building a tunnel is very high."

Chairman Omar answered truthfully.

Zhang Hao couldn't help but sighed: "According to what you said, bridges or undersea tunnels should not be built on the Strait of Gibraltar. You should stop making trouble."

"Consul, don't jump to conclusions! The bridge we are building is not a traditional bridge, but a pontoon bridge. Otherwise, the budget of more than 2000 billion yuan is not enough."

Chairman Omar hurriedly explained.

"So it's a floating bridge? Doesn't that affect navigation as well?" Zhang Hao frowned.

Omar smiled and waved his hands: "In fact, the impact is not that great. Anyway, the frozen strait is impassable at all, and when the strait thaws, the pontoon bridge will be dismantled at worst. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"

"Can this work? I remember that there is a kind of subsea floating tunnel. You can refer to it. It is more efficient and the key cost is not high."

Zhang Hao finally recalled more detailed content.

"Submarine floating tunnel? This... Let's study it later." Omar nodded.

"Okay, if there is news, remember to tell me." Zhang Hao reminded.

"Ok!"

……

On October 10th, Liberation Day finally arrived.

The capital Zhucheng.

The government held a series of celebration activities, but the scale was not very large. On the one hand, the consul was not at home;

Early in the morning, Yang Huaqing took her little daughter out and arrived at the largest juvenile foster center in the urban area. After nearly a year of preparation, the first batch of minor foster centers were finally going to the public.

Today is the opening day of the foster care center.

Yang Huaqing's trip has two main purposes. One is to attend the unveiling ceremony of the foster care center as the first lady; the second is to send her youngest daughter to the foster care center.

Guoguo has turned two years old.

Fully meet the occupancy conditions.

Although the official adopted the voluntary principle at the beginning, the couple still signed up.

The reason why the two did this was also to respond to the official socialized parenting plan.

In any case, this was first proposed by Zhang Hao, and he wanted to set an example.

In addition, Guoguo's stay in the foster care center is also very symbolic. Although Zhang Hao is a bit reluctant, he can only try his best to persuade his family for the sake of the overall situation.

Fortunately, Yang Huaqing was reasonable, and with her help, the whole family finally reached a consensus.

Fan Zhenxiang from the Executive Yuan came earlier, and when he saw the First Lady arriving, he greeted her with a smile.

"Xiao Yang, I'll be waiting for you."

The age gap between the two is not small, and they are very familiar with each other, so they are called very casually.

Yang Huaqing hugged her little daughter and said apologetically, "Principal Fan, I'm sorry, I didn't expect my child's grandma and grandma to pack up a bunch of things, and they couldn't take anything less, so I wasted a little time."

"It's all right." Fan Zhenxiang waved his hands, then leaned in front of Guoguo, teasing softly: "Guoguo, do you still remember Grandpa?"

"Yeah... Baba..."

The Guoguo kids looked very excited.

Yang Huaqing hurriedly corrected her and said, "Guoguo, this is Grandpa, please call him Grandpa."

"Yeah, yay..."

Fan Zhenxiang was immediately relieved: "Guo is really good."

The reporters on the side took the opportunity to snap a few photos, but Yang Huaqing did not come forward to stop her. Before that, she and her husband had agreed to release photos of their daughter in order to cooperate with the publicity.

Anyway, Guoguo is still young, so he doesn't have any concerns about this for the time being, and we'll talk about it when he grows up.

Immediately afterwards, Fan Zhenxiang introduced the person in charge of the foster care center to Yang Huaqing: "Xiao Yang, this is the dean of the foster care center, Shen Xiaobei. Don't think she is very young, but she is an authority on parenting."

"Dean Shen, hello, our Guoguo will be entrusted to you in the future."

Yang Huaqing hurriedly said hello.

"Madam, don't worry, our nursing center has complete facilities and a sound management team. The whole center has more than 600 babysitters and nursery sisters, and more than [-] preschool educators..."

Shen Xiaobei blah blah blah blah blah.

Regarding her daughter, Yang Huaqing patiently listened to all the introductions and asked a key question:
"Dean Shen, roughly how many babies does a babysitter on your side take care of?"

"It is currently in the trial operation stage, and each nursery teacher is only responsible for three to five babies on average."

"What about the future?"

"There will be no more than 12 people at most. After all, babies are not like children of other age groups. They need to be accompanied around the clock. They can't be separated from people at all, and they can't be sloppy."

Shen Xiaobei replied.

Yang Huaqing nodded slightly, and then proposed to visit the nursery, and later she would attend the unveiling ceremony, first of all she had to settle her daughter down.

Shen Xiaobei immediately led the crowd to the nursery, and Yang Huaqing nodded repeatedly as she visited. It was obvious that the officials had put their heart into it.

The entire foster center does not look depressing at all, fully considering the physical and mental health of the minors.

Of course, this is the capital, which represents the official facade, and there will definitely be special care.

If it is promoted to other remote areas in the future, it will definitely be greatly discounted, but as long as it can guarantee enough food, it is worth promoting vigorously.

Standing in front of the nursery room, Shen Xiaobei stretched out her hands: "Madam, can you give Guoguo to me?"

Yang Huaqing nodded, and handed her daughter into the arms of the other party.

When Guoguo saw the strange aunt, his smile disappeared immediately, and he pouted and was about to cry.

Shen Xiaobei really had a lot of patience, she held Guoguo and teased it casually a few times, and soon made the little guy giggle.

Seeing this, Yang Huaqing breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Xiaobei carried Guoguo into the nursery, and settled the little one after a while.

Yang Huaqing took the opportunity to ask: "Dean Shen, we brought a lot of things here, all of which are used by Guoguo, where will we send them later?"

"It's simple. After the opening ceremony is over, I will personally take people to receive it."

Shen Xiaobei replied with a smile.

This is the daughter of the consul's family, no matter how important it is, it cannot be overestimated.

"Then trouble you!"

"It's not troublesome at all!" Shen Xiaobei glanced at her watch, and then reminded: "Madam, it's almost time, let's go to the door quickly? The unveiling ceremony is about to begin."

"Okay, don't make Dean Fan and the others wait in a hurry."

Yang Huaqing glanced at her little daughter, then turned her head and left the nursery.

At nine o'clock, the unveiling ceremony officially began.

At the beginning of the ceremony, Dean Fan, Yang Huaqing and Shen Xiaobei gave speeches in turn. Dean Fan spoke for half an hour, Shen Xiaobei also for a quarter of an hour, and only Yang Huaqing spoke for less than 5 minutes.

After the speech, the unveiling ceremony followed. At the invitation of Shen Xiaobei, Yang Huaqing and Dean Fan pulled down the red cloth covering the plaque.

"Clap clap clap..."

There was warm applause at the scene.

At the same time, the sound of taking photos kept ringing.

After the unveiling ceremony, more than a dozen buses drove into the foster care center, and the children on board were all the children who had registered in advance, as well as their parents.

After a while of excitement, Fan Zhenxiang did not leave in a hurry, but took a chance to chat with Yang Huaqing.

"Xiao Yang, Guoguo is so cute, I suddenly came up with a bold idea, would you like to let Guoguo be the spokesperson for social upbringing?"

"This one……"

Yang Huaqing subconsciously wanted to refuse.

She doesn't want her daughter to live in the spotlight, which is not good for Guoguo's growth.

Fan Zhenxiang hurriedly persuaded: "Don't worry, it's three years at most, and after three years, it won't be necessary.

After all, socialized parenting is a new thing, and it was proposed by Lao Zhang himself. If Guoguo comes forward, everyone's concerns can be dispelled to a large extent. "

"Dean Fan, I want to discuss this with our old Zhang. As long as he doesn't object, I have no objection." Yang Huaqing still maintained a cautious attitude.

"This is what it should be. If you agree, remember to call me. I will strike while the iron is hot and arrange the people below to promote it."

Fan Zhenxiang nodded with a smile.

……

As soon as Dean Fan left, Yang Huaqing followed closely to the nursery. She was a little worried about her daughter.

Fortunately, the babysitters are very helpful, Guoguo children are not uncomfortable at all, plus there are a lot of playmates, and the little guy's laughter can be heard at the door.

"Dean Shen, Guoguo didn't cry just now, did she?"

"Shortly after you left, madam, I cried for a while, but it stopped soon. Guoguo is still very obedient."

"It's fine."

Shen Xiaobei smiled, then pointed to a QR code on the wall next to her and introduced: "Madam, you can scan the code to download our surveillance app, so that you can see Guoguo all day long."

"Really? Can you get it overseas?"

Yang Huaqing immediately took out her mobile phone.

"As long as there is an internet connection, it's fine."

"Great, I'll ask our old Zhang to download it later. To tell you the truth, he is a daughter slave. Whenever he has the conditions, he will make a video with Guoguo."

Shen Xiaobei joked with a smile: "My daughter is a little padded jacket, of course I can't bear to be a father, but having said that, the consul's expedition to the sea this time is really too long, I guess the more I think about it later."

"You're right, if I knew it was the case, I'd rather he not be the consul."

Yang Huaqing said half truth and half falsehood.

"Be careful, besides, the Consul has been out for more than a year, and I believe he will be back soon."

Shen Xiaobei quickly comforted her.

"Oh, I hope so!" Yang Huaqing sighed again, and then changed the subject: "By the way, Dean Shen, I may go out some time to meet our old Zhang. Guoguo, trouble You pay more attention."

This is what she and her husband had discussed a long time ago.

When her husband was injured before, she thought about it. If it wasn't for the fact that her husband was not seriously injured and she was worried about Guoguo, she would have been by her husband's side now.

"Don't worry, we will do our best to take good care of Guoguo. When you and the consul come back, we promise to see a well-raised little chubby."

These days, regardless of adults or children, everyone wants to gain weight, and being fat is a sign of health.

"Thank you. If you have a chance in the future, you are welcome to visit the Governor's Mansion."

"No, no, it's what I should do."

Shen Xiaobei immediately smiled.

It is definitely a great thing for her to be a guest at the Consul's mansion.

Next, Yang Huaqing stayed in the nursery until after five o'clock in the afternoon, and then left the minor support center reluctantly.

During the lunch break, she also had a video chat with her husband, which lasted for two hours.

Back at the Consul's mansion, it was exactly six o'clock.

Today is Liberation Day, and the school is on holiday. Zhang Guoji, Zhang Guoxuan and Guan Tong didn't go anywhere. When they saw their mother came back, they immediately came forward to care:
"Mom, how is Guoguo?"

As early as last month, the brothers knew that the baby sister was going to the foster care center.

Although the two of them raised strong objections, they couldn't twist their thighs with their arms.

If it weren't for the fear of revealing their identities, the three of them would have to go with them today anyway.

Yang Huaqing squeezed out a smiling face: "Don't worry, the conditions in the foster care center are very good, and your sister is quite comfortable staying there, so don't worry."

After speaking, he took out his mobile phone, and the surveillance video on it hadn't had time to turn off yet!

The three of them immediately looked at the surveillance video. Guoguo was sleeping soundly, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mom, Guan Tong and I have discussed it. After dinner, we will go to the foster care center to accompany Guoguo. It is the first time for Guoguo to spend the night outside. We are worried."

Zhang Guoxuan couldn't wait to say.

Zhang Guoji quickly raised his hand: "And me."

Yang Huaqing thought about it for a while, but she didn't stop her. She was also a little worried about her daughter: "You three can go, but you must abide by the regulations inside, don't mess around, and call me directly if you have anything to do."

Parents are allowed to stay in the foster center, but only for the first week after moving in. This is also to help children adapt to the new environment faster.

"understood."

The three nodded seriously.

"Well, where is your grandma? In the kitchen?"

Yang Huaqing asked immediately.

Guan Tong nodded: "Grandma is making egg porridge for Guoguo, she will go to see Guoguo later."

"Your grandma is going too? Well, let's set off with the whole family later!" Yang Huaqing said flatly.

She couldn't stand it any longer.

ps: Ask for recommended tickets and monthly tickets!
