Chapter 11: Going to School
When An Yunuo woke up again, she was lying on her aunt's bed on the second floor, which was the first time she slept in the bed since she came to her uncle's house.
She had long forgotten what it was like to be in bed, and when she woke up in bed, she thought she was dead, lying on a cloud.
She blinked, saw her surroundings clearly, and immediately understood who she was in her uncle's bed, so frightened that she immediately climbed up, and when she got up, she accidentally let her shoulder be forced, and the injury on her shoulder was pulled at once, so painful that she bared her teeth, but she did not dare to pause in the slightest.
"Are you awake?"
At this time, a person pushed the door in, and saw the child who was lying on the bed standing on the ground beside him, tidying up the messy bed with his hands and feet.
"Don't move, you still have a wound on your shoulder. β
He stepped forward and tried to stop the child, but when the child heard his voice, he turned around alertly, and when she found herself, she did not panic, but breathed a sigh of relief.
Who is this kid afraid of?
He frowned slightly, and he was afraid that he would scare the child, he thought about it, standing at a distance from the child, the child did not show any fear of himself, usually the child is afraid when he sees strangers? Why wouldn't this child be?
"Uncle, who are you?"
An Yunuo looked at the man in front of her timidly, she knew all the people in the village, and it was the first time she saw this person, it seemed that he was not from the village, if he was not from the village, why was he at his uncle's house, was he a thief?
Thinking of this possibility, An Yunuo involuntarily took a step back, wanting to widen the distance between him and him, but the person seemed to notice that she had misunderstood, and he was not busy explaining, but took out his ID from his arms and showed it to her.
"Little girl, don't be afraid, we are from the Education Bureau, and we are here to help you. β
"The Education Bureau?"
An Yunuo was illiterate, she didn't know a word about the certificate that the person showed her, she didn't know what was written on it, but she just saw that the person's attitude was friendly, not like the legendary thief, she relaxed a little in her heart, but she didn't dare to believe his words easily.
"That's right, Education Bureau. Little girl, do you know what the Education Bureau does?"
The man asked softly, during which he kept a kind smile, and he didn't mean to get close at all, An Yunuo tilted his head and thought for a long time, and finally shook his head and replied honestly, "I don't know." β
"The Education Bureau is dedicated to the schooling of children. β
He explained that the smile on his face was so kind, which made An Yunuo gradually relax his vigilance, especially when he talked about going to school, An Yunuo's eyes instantly burst into starlight.
"Can I go to school, then?"
She asked eagerly, even if she no longer had any hope for this matter, she still couldn't help but hope for it.
Her anxious appearance made the man's heart ache, in such a good day, there were still children with expectations in their eyes when they heard about school, how eager this child was to go to school, how could any parent refuse such a pair of eyes.
"Yes, we came to arrange for you to go to school. β
"Really?!"
An Yunuo looked at the man in front of her in disbelief, for fear that he was lying to herself, how many times she had dreamed of such a thing, but it had never been realized.
"Of course, if you don't believe me, go downstairs now and ask your family, okay?"
When An Yunuo was still asleep, they had already had a deep communication with Li Derong and Xu Xiuying, explained the truth to them, and also clarified the current legal regulations, ordering them to arrange school for their children in the near future, otherwise, they will use the weapon of the law to protect the child.
At the mention of her family, the starlight in An Yunuo's eyes dimmed instantly, she lowered her little head, and her whole body exuded disappointment.
It turned out that this was really just a dream, so she said, how could her uncle and aunt, who had always opposed her schooling, suddenly change sex.
But it's also good to dream, it can make her see reality more clearly.
Thinking of this, she raised her head, forced the corners of her mouth, and smiled.
"Okay, let's go down. β
Knowing that it was just a dream of her own, she still didn't want to wake up, she wanted to stay in this dream for a few more moments, even if it was just for a moment.
An Yunuo's smile with tears in his eyes is moving, even if a man has seen too many laughs, he will still be sad because of the self-deceptive smile of the child in front of him, what has this child experienced to be so desperate?
took An Yunuo downstairs, with their advance warning, when they saw An Yunuo, Li Derong and Xu Xiuying actually rushed forward left and right, hugged her, and cried out one by one, so scared that An Yunuo almost screamed, wanting to break free from their arms.
Xu Xiuying sensed that An Yunuo was going to escape, crying on her face, and secretly pinched her waist, the familiar pain scared An Yunuo motionless.
She woke up in an instant, knowing that what was in front of her was not her own dream, and what the man said just now was not her own dream words.
Is this true?
Can she really go to school?
When she sat in the clean and bright classroom, she was convinced that she was really not dreaming, even if she was wearing old clothes that had begun to turn white after washing an unknown number of times, and only a pair of worn galoshes under her feet, she was happy.
Looking at the scene that she had longed for countless times, she was in it, and she secretly made a wish, if this was a dream, please wake up slowly.
It's a pity it's not a dream.
Even if she has been allowed to go to school, the work at home should still be hers, or hers, and she can't do farm work when she goes to school, and when she gets out of class, all the housework will be hers.
What laundry and cooking, carrying water and chopping wood, but everything she can do, she has to do it, even if she can't do it, she has to learn to do it slowly, even if she has to do it at eleven or twelve o'clock in the evening, she must finish all the housework before she is eligible to go to school the next day, or her aunt will lock the iron gate of the compound, and she wants to go anywhere.
Even if even the basic rest is not guaranteed every day, An Yunuo is also willing, as long as she can go to school, no matter how hard and tired she is, she feels that it is worth it, and with the expectation of going to school, she has more strength to work.
She thought that after going to school, she could meet more friends and see a wider world, but reality opened a window for her, but she welded iron bars to the window fiercely, isolating her from the outside world.
Gradually, she realized that she was too naΓ―ve.
