I started a senior citizen university after being unemployed, and I became the favorite of my uncles

When we arrived at the beach, I told the uncle and auntie to pay attention to safety and the gathering time, and then let them move freely.

Today's outdoor class doesn't have much content, it's just pure relaxation and getting close to nature.

The uncles and aunts all went to take pictures, and Lin Qinglan stood on the beach enjoying the breeze.

"Aunt Xie, why don't you take a picture?" She looked at Aunt Xie who had been standing quietly, hesitant to speak.

"Principal Xiaolin, thank you. If it weren't for you, I might never have seen such a beautiful scenery in my life."

In the distance, the water and the sky met. The blue sea was calm, with birds occasionally flying high. It was just as beautiful as she had imagined.

Aunt Xie looked at Lin Qinglan who was listening to her attentively, and her heart softened.

She forced Yang Rongwei to sign her up because she didn't want to be sent to a nursing home and she also wanted to have a chance to try something new before she died.

She was glad that she chose Evergreen University and met such a good person like President Kobayashi.

"Principal Xiaolin, I want to take a picture of you."

Lin Qinglan took Aunt Xie's arm and said, "Let's take a photo together."

In the photo, both the old and the young are happy from the bottom of their hearts.

Near noon, all the uncles and aunts came back.

There is a special barbecue camping site for rent on the beach. When the owner saw them coming, he arranged the ingredients ordered by Lin Qinglan in order and even added ice packs to the meat.

Everything is ready for Chef Wu to make his debut.

"I am an indispensable part of our school. I've agreed to take care of everyone's lunch, and the same applies when we go out to play." Chef Wu took out his secret barbecue ingredients.

Before he had the chance to show off his skills, he was pushed down on a chair by several uncles and aunts.

Auntie Zhong, who was leading the group, smiled brightly, "Master Wu, let us take care of you after school. Just sit down and wait for dinner."

With a wave of his hand, the uncles and aunts in the cooking class began to prepare in an orderly manner.

Two weeks of study have shown initial results. Everyone has a clear division of labor. Those who are grilling meat, washing vegetables, serving dishes and helping out are all busy and happy.

There is just one thing: the teachers and Chef Wu are not allowed to interfere at all.

Lin Qinglan and the others were pressed into chairs, with Old Fu and Uncle Li beside them to supervise them.

Lin Qinglan and the teachers could only watch without blinking.

As if sensing their discomfort, Old Fu teased, “Don’t think of us old folks as being too fragile.”

"And we must not tire Master Wu out, or we won't have lunch tomorrow."

"Master Wu's cooking is delicious. After trying it once, I want to dig him home."

The old master openly wanted to poach the school's chef, "Master Wu, how many thousand does Principal Lin pay you a month? I think we can talk about it."

Uncle Li poured cold water on him directly: "If other students can't eat in school and they know it's you who poached their students, you'll be finished."

On the barbecue assembly line, the cooking class led by Aunt Zhong is the main force.

There are enough stoves to accommodate more than a dozen people baking at the same time. When the food is done here, someone nearby will carry the plates and put them in, and then give them to Lin Qinglan and the others.

The flattered teachers took the barbecue and fed it to the busy uncles and aunts.

Enjoy delicious barbecue and receive free compliments.

“This barbecue is really good.”

"It's Sister Zhong's good teaching. We learned a lot in the cooking class."

Aunt Zhong waved her hands quickly: "The barbecue ingredients that Master Wu gave are still the best."

"Whether barbecue tastes good or not depends on the quality of the meat. The main thing is that the meat bought by Principal Lin is fresh." Chef Wu passed the praise to Lin Qinglan like passing the parcel.

"We should be thankful that the beef and mutton are grown well." Lin Qinglan scratched his head and took over the topic.

They are the common advantages of teachers and students of Evergreen University, and they never let the topic fall to the ground.

As we chatted, the topic turned to school.

"When I signed up, I was still wondering if I was being cheated." The honest uncle laughed heartily.

"On the first day of lunch in the cafeteria, I didn't dare to eat as much as I wanted, for fear of bankrupting the school."

"At the time, I thought that Principal Lin must be unreliable because he was young. Now it seems that this is completely a stereotype. Being young is just an advantage of Principal Lin that is not worth mentioning."

Chef Wu also joined in: "This job is really comfortable. I only cook one meal a day, and there are uncles and aunts who provide emotional value, especially Aunt Zhong, who comes on time every day."

"I didn't believe it when Principal Lin approached me," the Chinese painting teacher recalled. "There were few classes, the salary was high, and the students were easy to teach. It was like a pie in the sky, and I got it."

Everyone was talking and laughing as they discussed, causing Lin Qinglan's mood to change several times.

Many people didn't believe her at first, but later Evergreen University won the love of uncles and aunts with its strength.

This change in attitude also proves that Lin Qinglan's persistence and hard work are useful.

The trip to the seaside ended with laughter and joy.

……

After this trip, more and more people became curious about this senior citizen university with many features, without any publicity.

I know that the school offers a wide variety of courses, low tuition, and delicious cafeteria food.

Uncles and aunts from Evergreen University who play chess and square dance in the park are often surrounded and asked, "Is this school really that good? How did you get into this school?"

Many of her former colleagues heard that she had opened a senior citizen university and sent her WeChat messages asking if their parents could enter Evergreen University.

As more and more people asked this question, Lin Qinglan responded to it again.

"This semester has already started, and we are not accepting new students. The next batch of students will be enrolled next semester."

Some people who knew about Evergreen University before school started and scoffed at it began to regret why they did not sign up at that time.

Some people are still unwilling to give up and keep asking around.

There are more people who are jealous of the popularity of Evergreen and open senior citizen universities, hoping to get a piece of the pie.

Several senior citizen universities have announced their establishment and are preparing to enroll students.

There are even schools that openly compete with the small-class evergreen schools, claiming that they will enroll large numbers of students so that every elderly person has the opportunity to go to school.

Lin Qinglan didn't care about it and continued to develop in her own way.

It’s not that she hasn’t thought about expanding the scale, but opening a school is not charity, and blindly expanding the scale will only result in greater losses.

At this stage, Evergreen's expenditures far exceed its income. Although it has a capital of 100 million and occasional subsidies from the system, it cannot live off its capital if it wants to continue to develop.

It is definitely not enough to rely solely on tuition fees, we must start to gradually develop the ability to monetize.

Monetization does not mean selling eggs or health products right away. We need to build up full trust between the uncles and aunts and let them have fun and learn happily in school.

If you want to keep the evergreen tree open for a long time, you must work hard on the courses and services.

No matter how other schools operate, their first priority is to continue to improve the curriculum structure so that uncles and aunts can go to school happily and return home satisfied.
