Chapter 18 The Road to Growth
It's summer vacation in the blink of an eye. After dinner, Jin Wuzhu went to find the dean, followed by Zhou Yu, the little tail.
When the siblings knocked on the door and entered, the dean was sitting at his desk busy writing something. She lifted her head, removed her glasses, pinched her sore shoulders with her hands, and invited the siblings to sit on the couch next to them. But the brother and sister did not sit down, but stood and talked to the dean.
"Dean, I want to study the first-year course on my own during the summer vacation and go directly to the second-year course next semester."
"That's the best, you go to school late, it's best to skip a grade. But you can only study at night, child, we still have to work during the day, I can't make an exception for you alone. Jin Wuzhu had such a wish, and the dean was very happy, but he also regretted that he couldn't give him more time.
"What I know, Dean, I only spend my evenings studying."
"I'm also going to teach myself, and I'm going to skip a grade with my brother." Zhou Yu's childish voice sounded.
The dean came over and took Zhou Yu to sit on the sofa and said, "You don't need to, you have to work during the day, and enjoy your childhood at night!" ”
"What is enjoying childhood?" Zhou Yu tilted his little head and asked the dean.
The dean learned Zhou Yu's tone and said with a smile: "It's just to play like sisters at night!" ”
Zhou Yu has seen her sisters play games, such as jumping rubber bands, hiding and seeking, catching stones, etc., so lively, she also wants to join, and has tried a few times, but her sisters are reluctant to play with her, so she can only watch from the sidelines.
She looked at the dean a little sadly and said, "But my sisters ignore me." ”
"Because you're young and cute, if someone comes to adopt, most of them will choose you first, so my sisters are a little repulsive to you, you forgive them for being wrong, okay?" The dean said mildly.
"I don't blame my sisters, but the dean, I'm not going anywhere, there are brothers and sisters here, and the dean, I feel very happy, I won't go anywhere." Zhou Yu said seriously.
"Good boy, you really don't want to be adopted? After adoption, you have parents who love you, and you don't have to do so much work every day. The dean held this cute and kind little girl in his arms, and she was reluctant to let her go, but for her good, I still hope that she will have the love of her adoptive parents.
"Really, I'm not going anywhere." Zhou Yu stretched out his hand and put his arm around the dean's neck and said.
"Alright then, no matter where you are, as long as you're happy! You go and tell your sisters about your decision, and they will accept you, and you will play with them in the future. "The dean only hates that he doesn't have enough energy, that he has too many children, and that he has to translate and earn money to make up for this, and he can't give them more love.
Jin Wuzhu on the side watched Zhou Yu talking to the dean with a smile, his mood was also very conflicted, he hoped that his sister would be adopted, but he was reluctant to let her go. For his sister's decision, he can only respect it.
When the two of them had finished speaking, he asked the dean, "Dean, do you know where the library is?" I would like to borrow a few books on the craftsman, I used to learn from the master for a short time, and now the things I make are very crude. ”
The dean thought for a while and said, "What a caring child, I have a friend who is a fan of craftsmen, I contact him to see if he is willing to teach you?" Are you waiting for news? ”
"Okay, thank you, Dean." Jin Wuzhu bowed and thanked him.
Zhou Yu saw his brother thanking him, and he climbed out of the dean's arms and bowed, but the dean hugged her and said, "Good boy, you don't have to be so polite to me in the future, you will treat me as your own grandmother." ”
"Okay, thank you grandma!" Zhou Yu said sweetly.
**
Within two days, the dean's friend Kong Kunlun came. As soon as he entered the door, he plunged into the place where Jin Wuzhu worked in the courtyard. He earnestly took the things made by Jin Wuzhu and looked left and right, nodding for a while and shaking his head for a while. When he finished reading, the dean came out with the children.
"Wuzhu, call Teacher Kong." After the dean greeted Kong Kunlun, he hurriedly led Jin Wuzhu to Kong Kunlun.
"Hello Mr. Kong!" Jin Wuzhu greeted respectfully.
"You did all this?" Kong Kunlun asked happily.
"I have two little helpers." Jin Wuzhu pointed to Zhou Yu and Wang Qi as he spoke.
"Yo, such a small doll can too! What do you all do? Kong Kunlun asked with a smile.
"Report to Uncle, I will make up the slivers, and Sister Qi'er will shave them."
"What a capable and good boy!" Kong Kunlun touched their heads and said.
Everyone was talking, and suddenly, a kid rushed in at the door of the orphanage, looking left and right with a pair of eyes, as if looking for someone.
The children standing outside saw him first, and some of the girls covered their mouths and opened their eyes wide, saying in amazement: It's him. Some of the girls whispered together with their little heads, and said in a tone of disbelief: How did he get here?
The kid at the door finally saw Kong Kunlun, came over and said, "Dad, you ran so fast, don't wait for me, tell me to be easy to find for a while." ”
"Who told you not to learn my weaving technique? I'm finally looking for someone who is willing to learn, why don't you come and see me soon? Kong Kunlun looked at Jin Wuzhu with satisfaction and said. Then he said to the dean: "Dean, this is my son Kong Ming, who came out to play with me." ”
"Hello Dean!" Kong Ming greeted politely.
"What a good boy, you can play here with everyone! Eat here with your dad at noon. The dean said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll go play with Zhou Yu." Kong Ming saw Zhou Yu as soon as he came in, and walked up to her at this time and said.
"You know Zhou Yu, okay, let's play." The dean touched Zhou Yu's head and said.
Zhou Yu, who was allowed, took Kong Ming to the kitchen first, she put the vegetables piled up there in a basket and carried them, went out the back door, and came to the chicken coop. Said to Kong Ming: "Have you ever fed chickens?" ”
"I haven't fed it, you teach me!"
Zhou Yu put the water and bran in the basin, and while chopping the vegetables, he taught Kong Ming to put the chopped vegetables into the basin and mix well. After mixing, they carried the basin into the chicken coop and poured it into the trough, and saw the chickens rushing over, and the two people who didn't have time to quit were surrounded by the chickens for a while, Kong Ming had never seen this chicken formation, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly ran out, Zhou Yu stood in the chickens, looking at Kong Ming who fled and laughed.
When the chicken was almost finished, Zhou Yu picked up a chicken she brought from the hut, came to Kong Ming's side and said, "You touch it, it's very well-behaved." ”
Kong Ming touched the beautiful and smooth hair on the chicken's neck. The chicken's head is stretched out and very docile.
"They're kept locked up here, they're not free at all, do you think they want to go out and run around the mountains?" Zhou Yu said.
"That's for sure."
"But the dean said that if you let them out, you will eat all the vegetables. So my brother and I were making fences for the vegetable patch. What to do? I can't play with you, I'm going to build a fence. Zhou Yu said a little embarrassed.
"It's okay, I'll do it for you!"
"Thank you then."
Zhou Yu put down the chicken and took Kong Ming to the vegetable field, she put on gloves placed on the pile of bamboo chips, first inserted an iron awl into the mud, then hit it with a hammer, and then pulled it out after hitting it, and inserted the bamboo chips into it. Kong Ming, who understood at a glance, hurriedly came over to help, he was responsible for making holes, Zhou Yu inserted bamboo chips, and the division of labor and cooperation were very good.
There were a few of Kong Ming's classmates who were working in the vegetable garden, and Ling Yan, who saw this scene, said to other friends: "That's Kong Ming, the most handsome and cool boy in our class, actually helping Zhou Yu make fences." ”
"Kong Ming is not cool, he is very sunny! I also love to help people. Jiang Xia hurriedly corrected.
"Anyway, this week's rain is really quite toss-up, and I actually got the dean to agree to release the chickens, and I'm afraid that there will be everywhere here in the future." I really don't know what she thinks. Another sister said.
"Let's go over and help!" The attraction of handsome guys is still quite large, and they can't manage so much at this time.
"Okay, let's go together." Ling Yan was the first to respond to Jiang Xia.
The two of them walked over a little embarrassed, and each picked up a piece of bamboo and said to Zhou Yu, "We're here to help too." ”
"Okay, thank you, sisters." Zhou Yu said happily.
The faces of the two were slightly red, usually they always refused Zhou Yu to play with them, thinking that she had a grudge in her heart! I didn't expect her to act like she didn't have that kind of thing.
Kong Ming raised his head and smiled at them, nodded his head, and said hello.
Zhou Yu saw that there were three people inserting bamboo chips, so he put down the bamboo chips in his hands and said to the two sisters: "Then you insert them, I'll go and get some more." Then he ran away.
Zhou Yu ran back to the yard, the yard was empty, where did they go, brother? Maybe Kong Ming's father gave him a lesson, no matter what, she picked up a bundle of bamboo pieces and left.
But the bamboo was too high to block her view, so she had to lower her head and stare at the road on her toes. When he came to the vegetable garden, the first person to find her was Kong Ming, and he hurriedly ran over to take the bamboo piece in her hand. Said to her, "You can't move this, I'm afraid of falling, I'll come!" It's okay for you to watch from the sidelines. ”
After Kong Ming put down the bamboo piece, he said to Jiang Xia: "You come and drill a hole with an awl!" He taught her how to do it, reminding her not to let the hammer hit her hand.
After Zhou Yu and Kong Ming left, Jiang Xia said sourly: "We really helped her, she doesn't have to do anything now, just accompany Kong Ming." ”
Ling Yan couldn't help laughing, and after laughing, she comforted her and said, "You are really, didn't you just ask for benefits!" He'll teach you how to do it! ”
Over there, Kong Ming and the others came to transport bamboo slices again, and Jiang Xia and the others immediately stopped fighting and started working seriously.
