After eating, Chen Li shook the pu fan and sat on the steps of the door to enjoy the coolness. Grandma went back to her room on crutches, she was old, her spirit was not very good, she was drowsy when she was full, and she liked to lie crooked in bed.

Yumei was busy cleaning up in the kitchen. Li Aihua sent Yushu to play with his companions in the village, and sat on the threshold stone with Yuzhu in his arms to tell the two sisters stories. Yulan lay quietly on A-Niang's lap, looking at the stars in the sky, and her heart was at peace.

The cool breeze is blowing, the insects are chirping, and the mountains are rolling at night, and the lines are like the waves of the sea. Someone whispered in the night, and the sound was blown away by the wind, and the midsummer night looked wonderful.

After telling the story, Li Aihua said to Chen Li: "I am going to send Erya to kindergarten when school starts in September, and I have to prepare the tuition fees first in these two days." ”

Chen Li's hand shaking the fan paused, and continued to shake it casually.

"Wouldn't it be too young, Erya is only 6 years old. ”

"It's not small, I was worried that she would have to run three or four times a day to and from school, and she couldn't bear so many journeys. I didn't have much trouble seeing her walk all the way back today. Or you can give it a try. Besides, Yumei is no longer in school, and she has a lot of time, so when the time comes, let her deliver food to Erya at noon, and Erya will be able to run two times less. ”

"It's okay, it's time to exercise. ”

Yulan listened to the conversation between Daddy and Auntie, and her thoughts began to drift away.

In the past, the children in the village generally started elementary school at the age of 6 or 7, and they did not enter kindergarten until they were 9 years old. I read the second year of junior high school in a daze, and I met that person again, and I did the wrong thing in a daze.

Yulan was embarrassed, and her former self used Huang Rong to scold the Taoist priest of the Quanzhen Sect in one sentence, "All the years have lived to be dogs." ”

Recalling the past, Yulan was only at a loss in her heart, many people and things, and her face was blurred.

Once again, she didn't want to let her childhood go to waste.

It's just that how to persuade A-Niang to skip kindergarten and send her to primary school directly, this is a very serious problem, I just blame myself for being too young and not convincing.

Looks like we'll have to find a helper. Magnolia thought to herself.

Several people in the family weighed and weighed in her heart, and finally decided to choose the eldest brother Yushu. The main reason is that the eldest brother is the only college student in the village, and both father and aunt think that he is knowledgeable and are willing to believe his words.

Yulan was thinking about how to convince Yushu to think about it, when a crisp voice suddenly exploded in her ears, "Aunt Hua, is Brother Yushu at home? ”

Magnolia looked up, and in the dim light, a girl wearing an over-the-knee red A-line dress with white dots stood proudly at the bottom of the steps. But at the age of seventeen or eighteen, the waist-length long hair was loosely gathered behind him, tied with a light-colored band, the broken bangs of the eyebrows, the eyebrows were curved, a pair of big eyes were shining, the nose was jade, the red lips seemed to be enlightened, and the desire to speak was still resting. She stood there quietly, like a red lotus blooming in the dark night.

Magnolia was impressed by the face. When I saw her before, I always thought that this person was indescribably good-looking. Later I learned that it was something called "temperament". Magnolia remembers that many of the clothes she designed later came from this girl.

Li Aihua smiled kindly, "It's Xinya, Yushu went out after eating, I don't know when I will come back." If not, I'll ask him to go to your brother tomorrow. ”

He Xinya smiled slightly, "My brother didn't say it, so there shouldn't be a hurry." Aunt Hua remembered to talk to Brother Yushu at night. I'll go back first. ”

Yulan watched her graceful figure disappear into the darkness, pricking up her ears to listen to Daddy and Auntie's gossip.

"This girl from Lao He's family is really good, I don't know if anyone else has it. What do you think of our jade book?"

"Hey, there's a situation!" The fire of gossip in Yulan's heart suddenly ignited.

As a result, he was splashed with cold water by A-Niang in the next second.

"Well, don't think about it. With our current conditions, no one dares to marry our family. I hope that we will work hard for a few more years and pay off all the money we owe. At that time, the boss will also work, and it will be easier to find a partner. Xinya's conditions are so good, what kind of person do you want to find. Besides, you didn't see Xinya Niang staring at the younger students of the same age in the village all day long like a thief, for fear that someone would hook her daughter. No, I have to tell Yushu to go to her house less, no one can stand Xinya's mean mouth. ”

"Hey!" Chen Li sighed, long and long.

After lunch the next day, while Yushu didn't go out, Yulan went upstairs to find Yushu.

Although the school signed up on the first day of school, she was not sure whether she would go to kindergarten or elementary school, and she was always unsure.

Yushu was half-lying in a rocking chair reading a book and was fascinated by it.

Magnolia tiptoed up behind him and stretched out her little hand to cover his eyes, "Guess who I am?"

Yu Shule was happy, didn't speak, stretched out his backhand, and scooped her into his arms.

Yulan was taken aback, her hands hurriedly grabbed the placket of Yushu's clothes, leaned on his arms, grabbed the book in his hand, flipped through it, pointed to one of the words and shouted happily: "I know this word! "I was excited.

Yushu became interested: "Yo, is it really fake?" He stretched out his finger and knocked on the book, opened the book casually, and casually pointed to a few words and asked Yulan how to read.

Magnolia read it word for word. After reading it, he held his chin very proudly, and looked like "I answered correctly, you praise me".

Yushu pinched her fat face and smiled dotingly: "Hey, you girl is very powerful!

Yulan put all the credit on Yumei, "Sister taught me." "Anyway, the eldest brother won't dig into it.

Yushu asked again, "Do you know how to count?"

Magnolia replied quickly: "I will." I'm still going to be on the ninety-nine formula. After saying that, he memorized it very smoothly.

Yushu frowned and said to himself, "There is no need to go to kindergarten in these cities, it is a waste of time and money." ”

There is a reason why Yushu says so.

The kindergarten in the township is just to teach children some simple and easy-to-understand numbers, pinyin letters, etc. Most of the time, the children are left with toys to play with, and the teacher is only responsible for taking care of the children, and does not teach the children much. In many cases, it is only when there is no one at home to take the child that it will be sent to the kindergarten.

Yushu thought about it, stood up and touched Yulan's head, and said, "Brother has something to go out, you accompany grandma at home, don't be naughty." ”

Yulan knew that it was because of her enrollment, so she didn't bother anymore. pouted, and muttered dissatisfiedly, "Who is naughty!", only to find that in the past few days, his behavior has become more and more uncontrollable to childishness.

However, children are inherently naïve, aren't they?

Yushu did not return until the evening.

Li Aihua was busy in front of the stove, and the jade book was on the side as a wooden stake.

"Auntie, I'm going to ask Sister Dongmei in the afternoon. In a situation like Erya, she can be sent directly to the first grade. ”

Li Aihua's hands kept moving, and he asked suspiciously, "Can it work?"

"Well, I think so. Besides, isn't there a big girl, she has graduated from junior high school, and it must be no problem to tutor the second girl. Or, try it first? No, then repeat the grade, anyway, the second girl is young. ”

"Really?" Seeing his son's affirmative nod, Li Aihua quickly made a decision, "Then let's go to the first grade." ”

As August draws to a close, the summer holidays are coming to an end.

Yushu has already begun to pack his things and prepare to return to school. He only had the last year of his college career left. After the New Year, I will start thinking about internships. He went to the University of Electricity, and he was not assigned a job. He was still at a loss as to what job he was looking for after graduation. He did not agree with his parents' proposal that he could return to his hometown to become a teacher. However, there is still a little time before graduation, and I can't argue with my parents, and I have time to slowly convince the two elders during the Chinese New Year.

Li Aihua also knew that although his son was dull but very assertive, he just mentioned it in passing, and didn't dare to nag too much, but just followed him and repeatedly told him to take care of himself.

Yulan watched her eldest brother go out with a reluctant look.

Yushu was amused, reached out and touched Yulan's head, and said, "Don't be naughty at home, there are also comic books in my brother's room, if you can read it, you can take it and look at it, but you can't break it." You have to go to school well, and if you can get the first place in the final exam, your brother will give you a gift. ”

Yulan was very happy, hooked the little finger of Yushu with her little fat finger and shook it, and said, "One word is a decision!"

Seeing off her eldest brother, Yulan couldn't wait to run upstairs.

Yushu's room is upstairs, and the furnishings are very simple. Entering the door, there is a single wooden bed against the wall on the right hand, the bed is covered with a reed mat, a thin blanket is folded in a boxy box, the head of the bed is half against the window, Yulan likes to read on the bed the most. At the other end of the window, against the wall, there was a rectangular table, and a chair with a backrest of the same color was neatly arranged. There are lamps, alarm clocks, wooden pen holders, etc. on the desk, and the desktop is neat and clean. Behind the desk lay several old wooden boxes for clothes. The remaining entire wall was made into a bookshelf, and the bookshelf was filled with books. Four famous books, historical records, fairy tales, Jin Yong's novels, magazines, and textbooks for all grades.

Magnolia looked around and couldn't put down these books.

She finally chose a magazine to hold in her arms, threw herself on the bed, and buried her head in a muffled smile.

She was so happy!

She now has a lot of time to learn everything from scratch and a lot of time to do what she loves. She must not repeat the mistakes of the past, those nightmares that once entrenched in her heart, she must strangle them in the cradle.

In this life, she must be down-to-earth and walk out of her own path step by step.
