Chapter 3 Beginning with Primary School

'Alas, the days of freedom are gone from me! Xu Canhao thought as he lifted his new schoolbag and put it on his shoulder. The pen www.biquge.info sat on the steps of the entrance, shuffling through his shoes.

"Chan-ho, don't you want to go to school? It's so grinding, it's only the first day, do you want to be late? Mother Xu was dressed in a black professional suit, standing behind Chan Hao, staring at him dissatisfied.

"Ahh Empress~! Xu Canhao replied perfunctorily, and said that he quickly put on his shoes and rushed out of the door.

"Yikes!" Mother Xu glared at the figure who fled in a hurry, and then laughed out loud, "Stinky boy! ”

Sanchuan-dong New Star Elementary School in Wanshan District, Jeonju City (now Yangdi Elementary School, connected to Yangzhi Middle School).

Xu Canhao looked at the school gate in front of him, and the oncoming campus atmosphere (old desks, new textbooks, mud, etc.) made him intoxicated. Thinking that after living for more than 30 years, I will step into the primary school where the school is still a cheating father, and I am entangled for a while, and I have expectations... There were black lines all over his head. In his previous life, he was a good student with excellent grades from elementary school to junior high school, until his grades deteriorated in high school for various reasons, knowing that there was no hope of getting into college, he didn't want to add to the burden on his family, so he gave up the college entrance examination and left home to work. In fact, he really wants to go to college, especially when he visits his sister who is studying in college several times, and he is full of emotion. He also likes celebrities, dances, singing, and football. He formed a dance troupe in high school and won an award, which was the most memorable student days in his own opinion, except for the youthful romance.

"What are you thinking, Chan-ho? Don't be afraid, Mom will ask Principal Shen to arrange a better class for you. And my mother also works here, so I'll go to see our little Canhao. Luo's mother touched her son's head and gently comforted Xu Canhao who was in a daze. Let's go inside, it's not proper etiquette to keep people waiting. Mother Xu took Xiao Canhao's shoulders and walked towards the school.

"Doo, doo."

"Please come in." Hearing the response of the office owner, Xu Mu reached out and pushed open the half-hidden door and pulled Canhao in.

"Hello, Principal Shen." Mother Xu let go of the hand holding her son and bowed to the old man sitting behind the desk.

Xu Canhao also bowed, he didn't alike this etiquette, not to mention that there was a white-haired old man opposite.

"Oh, hehe, it's Bingzhen (Jin's mother's name when she was a child, now Jin Yingzhi). Oh, this is our Chan Hao, well, he looks like his father, and he must be a strong man in the future. Seeing the old man in front of him enthusiastically walking in front of him, wanting to reach out and touch his head, Xu Canhao instinctively wanted to step back. But immediately reflected that he had to adapt, so he met the old man's kind gaze, and pulled the flesh to reveal an ugly smile.

"Chan Hao, do you still know me, an old man?" Old Man Shen looked at him with a smile and kept stroking Chanhao's soft hair.

"Hehe, Shen Bo, when you came to see Chan Hao, Chan Hao was only full moon, how could he remember you." Luo Mu stood aside and smiled to help Xu Canhao answer.

"Hehe, this is not my grandfather, it's been so many years, the child... Is the child okay? The old man hurriedly changed his words, and he also knew that some words were not good to say in front of children. The hand stopped moving, just put it on Xiao Canhao's head, and looked at Mother Xu.

"Well, Chan Hao is much better, otherwise I wouldn't have been at ease sending him to school." Mother Xu replied with a smile still on her face.

"That's good, that's good. What is that kid doing when he retires from the army? Principal Shen put down his hand and pulled the topic to Dad Xu again.

"Uh..." Mother Xu looked at the old man, and then at her son. Principal, let's arrange it for Chan-ho first. ”

"Oh, you see, when people get old, their memory is not good, and they forget about our little Canhao." The old man awkwardly pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, picked up the phone on the desk and dialed it. "It's called Mr. Dong, yes, please ask him to come here." With that, he turned around and sat back in his chair.

"Bingzhen, don't worry, Teacher Dong has a good temper and teaches well. And most of the students in their class are good students, and you've been exposed to them. The old man said to Luo Mu with a smile.

"Well, I know, Headmaster, thank you for that." Mother Xu bowed again and thanked her. "Chan-ho, thank you, Principal." Mother Xu smiled and pulled her son's forearm to signal.

Xu Canhao hesitated slightly, "What did the principal say~~ There's no way." "ko.ma.si.mi.da (children often thank their elders), ha.bo.ji (grandfather)." Xu Canhao's little face was about to turn red, he thought of his words, and said a word.

"Ahh We're so cute. That's good! Old man Shen looked at Xiao Zhengtai, and was so excited by a grandfather that his eyes were gone. Rummaging through the drawer of the desk, "Come on, Chan Hao, grandpa gave it to you." ”

Looking at the chocolate in the old man's hand, Xu Canhao: "I'm really a child! But who doesn't love chocolate! Thinking of this, he stepped forward and wanted to take it, but suddenly stopped and looked at Luo Mu behind him. Seeing that Luo Mu smiled and nodded, she took the things in the old man's hand with confidence. Holding it in his hand, he was about to turn around and return to his original position, when he suddenly thought of etiquette. Holding the chocolate in both hands and hanging between his legs, he bent over and lowered his head, smiling to reveal the upper row of teeth that was missing a tooth, "Thank you, grandpa." ”

"Haha, it's so cute. Bingzhen, you are blessed, a boy, a girl, you will definitely be in the future..." Before the old man finished speaking, he was interrupted by a knock on the door, and hurriedly sat up straight, putting on a serious demeanor. "Please come in."

"Headmaster, are you looking for me?" A young man with glasses pushed the door in, looked at Xu Mu and Xu Canhao and nodded with a smile, which was regarded as a greeting.

"Well, Mr. Dong, this is Mr. Luo, you should have seen it. This is her son, Xu Canhao. In the future, he will be assigned to your class, and you must take good care of him. Principal Shen pointed to the mother and son and introduced them to the man.

"Okay, I see, Headmaster." The man in glasses replied with a respectful bow.

"Okay, you can take Chan-ho to class. I'll take care of the admissions here. ”

"Yes, Headmaster. Excuse me. After Mr. Dong finished speaking, he beckoned to Xu Canhao, and at the same time bowed to Xu's mother next to him. Mother Xu also bowed slightly in response.

Xu Canhao looked at Mother Jin and got Mother Luo's go. Then he bowed goodbye to Grandpa Shen and his mother.

"Ah, a very polite child." The old man stood up with a smile.

"Well, Mr. Dong looks like a good person." Luo's mother also smiled and did not take the old man's words head-on.

The two looked at each other and smiled. Old man Shen sighed and said, "Is that kid okay?" ”

"We're all for the kids, aren't we all okay now? Brother Youzhi, he..."

The conversation in the office is not on the table for the time being. Our Xiao Canhao followed Teacher Dong all the way to the classroom on the second floor, listening to the school rules, precautions, and introduction of the school that the man in front of him was talking about.

Walking to the door of the classroom with the A-2 sign, the man in front of him stopped, straightened his clothes, and coughed. Then he pushed the door in, and the classroom instantly fell silent, and the children hurriedly returned to their seats and sat upright. Xu Canhao looked at this familiar and unfamiliar scene and fell into memory for a while, and stood at the door of the classroom in a daze.

"Ahem, yes." Teacher Dong seemed to be very satisfied with the current effect, and said with a smile: "There is a new student in our class today, everyone is welcome!" After speaking, he took the lead in applauding. However, our little Canhao was still standing at the door in a daze, looking at the things in front of him.

"Ahem, well, Xu Canhao come in, hurry up." Teacher Dong couldn't help but have a big head when he saw Xiao Canhao, who coughed twice and was still unmoved. He took two steps forward and pulled his clothes.

"Ahh Xu Canhao reacted, bowed quickly, and walked up to the podium, but he didn't pay attention to the platform pier, and was tripped up, almost not flying out.

"Haha..."The classroom burst into laughter.

"Alright, alright, is that how you welcome new students?" Teacher Dong forced a smile and shouted at the students under the podium. "Introduce yourself." Turned his head to Xu Canhao and said.

Xu Yanhao only felt his heart beat faster, and the temperature on his face soared rapidly. 'NND, a man in his thirties has such a foreign appearance! Hearing Teacher Dong's words, he immediately straightened his body, adjusted his mentality, and said loudly: "Xu, Can, Hao, Yimida!" Male, 6 years old and above. ”

"Haha..." was another burst of laughter, and this time Mr. Dong couldn't help but join in.

And Xu Canhao regained the cheekiness that a thirty-year-old should have, and was unmoved. Waiting for the laughter to fade away, and without waiting for the teacher's arrangement, he stepped down from the podium and sat on the empty seats in the last row. Listening to the words that came to my ears from time to time, "Male, 6 years old, above that." Haha...", the other children peeked, and our little Canhao was still unmoved, put his schoolbag into the desk, and began to empty.

'Ah, West, life is like a year, it's just! "Our little Canhao has been hot for 3 minutes, and after two classes, it's really..." A thirty-year-old man and a group of little P children are crammed into a classroom, memorizing 99 multiplication tables and reading ABCD! Ah, it's going crazy! Xu Canhao leaned on the table and looked out the window with a painful expression, "I can still learn Korean in class." Ahsie, I'm really going crazy! Thinking about it, Xiao Canhao pushed the table impatiently, straightened up and leaned back.

"Bang bang..."The female teacher who was lecturing slapped the table twice with the whip in her hand, "The new student sitting at the back, does he have any problems with the teacher's teaching method?" The female teacher glared and pointed at Xu Canhao with a whip and reprimanded.

Xu Canhao was leaning on the back of the chair, shaking his head and thinking about something, and was brought back to his senses by the teacher's angry roar. Hurriedly stood up and said, "Nae, Sam (teacher)!" Xu Canhao Imida. ”

"Haha..."The students in the class thought that this newcomer was really funny, and he was not a person of the same world at all.

Xu Canhao looked at these little puppet children who were smiling forward and backward, and understood that he was putting on an oolong again, so he hurriedly apologized to the teacher.

"Did you listen to the teacher? It's all in English class, and you still have Korean books on your desk, is that your attitude as a student? The female teacher walked to Xiao Canhao's desk, tapped the books on the table with a teaching whip, and slapped him on the shoulder twice without pain.

"My Korean is not very good, please repeat it again." Xu Canhao really had no choice, so he had to explain it in English, thinking that since he was an English teacher, he shouldn't be too embarrassed.

"Wow~~" The children let out a burst of exclamation, looking at the two opponents with curiosity and schadenfreude.

"Ahem!" The female teacher knocked on the table and coughed twice to stop the crowd. He retracted his gaze and stared at the serious little Canhao in front of him and said, "Classmate Xu Canhao, are you here... Provocation? The female teacher was a little surprised by the student's pronunciation, 'Well, it's pure American, ke.dae (but)... What kind of attitude is this! Thinking of this, the female teacher couldn't help but increase the striking force of the whip in her hand and pumped it on Xu Canhao's arm. "Are you Korean-American?" The female teacher asked in a fierce tone.

"a.ni.mi.da (not)!" Xu Canhao didn't care about this little pain at all and replied, "Teacher, if you are offended, please forgive me." After speaking, he bowed to the teacher.

The female teacher became more and more curious, and it was really strange that a native Korean could speak better English than Korean. "Where did you learn English?" The female teacher couldn't help but be curious.

"I taught myself." Xu Canhao's head was so big that he didn't know how to lie. Only explained: "I like to watch English movies and listen to English songs. Most of my time and energy are spent learning English and music, so..."

The female teacher was shocked, 'A six-year-old kid told me these unbelievable things, I actually believed it, this, the world is too crazy, or he... Genius at all? The female teacher looked at Xiao Canhao blankly, constantly thinking about various possibilities.

“sam,sam!” Xu Canhao couldn't help but laugh when he looked at the female teacher in a daze, but he still pretended to be respectful, "Sam, today is my first day of school, and it's also my first time in English class, please take care of the teacher." After saying that, he bowed to the teacher, he didn't want to get into trouble on the first day, and he wanted to learn Korean and history from the beginning. Although I have thought about skipping a grade, I also want to take advantage of the free time in front of me to lay a good foundation. The knowledge of high school, his cognition is only superficial, and he has forgotten what he should forget, and he is not sure how much he can understand after he is really exposed.

In view of Xiao Canhao's good attitude, and it doesn't look like he's lying, the point is that the students he teaches are so good at English, and he doesn't think about it if he's not happy. Therefore, the female teacher waved her hand and lifted it, and she didn't care much about him in class from then on, and occasionally asked Xu Canhao to answer a question that others couldn't answer, and show off.

Seo Chan-ho found that it was very important to do enough etiquette in Korea in just one day, and of course, his age was also an advantage. He's a perfectionist, has obsessive-compulsive disorder in some ways, and a bit of a 'masochistic tendency'. Since you have decided to live in the present reality, you will not follow the old path. It is his goal in this life to pursue his dreams, realize the unfulfilled wishes of his previous life, live a wonderful life, and live according to his own nature. At the same time, I will love my home in this life like my own mother and sister. Strengthening himself, protecting his family, and leaving no regrets are firmly engraved in his heart.

People are not grass and trees, in the past 6 years, from the beginning of being born without crying or making trouble, not taking the initiative to eat and drink, to living in a state of confusion, not laughing or talking, and staying at home, these are a kind of punishment for him, and it is not a kind of torment and torture for Xu's father and Luo's mother. As he grew up, the two shed blood and tears, but they never gave up on their son. He will also be angry and angry when he is numb, but his parents' hearts are experiencing a thousand cuts, silently enduring, comforting and encouraging each other. Everything he has done for his tolerance, care, understanding, etc., makes Xu Canhao only feel guilty and moved when he thinks about it.
