Chapter 3 Enrollment
South Korea has a temperate monsoon climate with four distinct seasons, and the southern part of the country has a mild oceanic climate. March to May is spring, June to August is summer, rainfall accounts for half of the year, high temperature and humidity, September to November is autumn, autumn is high and cool, December to February is winter, the weather characteristics are similar to Northeast China, "three cold and four warm", is a good season for skiing.
And Seoul, as the capital of South Korea, naturally does not differ much. Inadvertently, time passed in a hurry, and it was February of 92, which was a very important day for Xu Hunxian.
Since he was a child, he has basically not been to kindergarten because of physical reasons, so there are very few children who can play with him, and at most they are friends who live relatively close to him occasionally come to hang out. But after his sister Xu Zhuxian was born, he has changed a lot, at least, his personality is becoming more and more cheerful, although he is still a well-behaved and obedient little adult, but the laughter is constantly increasing.
So, after seeing his son's performance, Xu's father and Xu's mother decided after discussion to let Xu Hunxian go to elementary school, get to know more people, make more friends, and as he grew up, he couldn't keep him by his side all the time. Therefore, the two discussed sending Xu Hunxian to a nearby elementary school, and they were not at ease if they were too far away from home.
According to the worst-case plan, if there is any situation in Xu Hunxian, they can arrive as soon as possible. This is the decision of all schools during the winter vacation, and the enrollment of the new semester is also on the agenda of each elementary school, and all aspects are also carrying out their own enrollment plans in an orderly manner.
In Korean schools, the hierarchy system is very serious, teachers can beat and scold students, corporal punishment of students, students and parents will not object, this is the social atmosphere, but also shows the respect of the younger generation for the seniors, even so, it does not mean that the school can ignore the students.
The enrollment plan for the primary school began, and Xu's father and Xu's mother began to register with nearby schools after discussing with Xu Hunxian, and after a simple interview, they were qualified for admission.
So, in the next time, Xu's father and Xu's mother did not let Xu Hunxian idle, and Xu's mother began to tutor Xu Hunxian in some basic knowledge, including Mandarin, simple mathematics and some English and Chinese.
She didn't expect that her son's learning speed was so fast, he couldn't say anything and teach him, but the speed of understanding could also be described, and if it went on like this, she was afraid that she would not be able to teach, and she was happy, but there were also times when she was unhappy, which was a strange feeling. Xu Hunxian got up very early today, and the outside was a little shiny, so he had already gotten up to wash.
"Oma, good morning." Seeing Xu's mother busy in the kitchen, Xu Hunxian went over to give her a big hug, looking a little excited. Xu's mother also looked at her son with a smile on her face, kissed him on the face, and tidied up his clothes again: "Good morning." Let's go wash up, and then come over for breakfast, I fried poached eggs for you today, and your favorite sweet potato porridge, hurry up, or it's going to get cold. ”
"Well, I'll be right over." Gently agreed, Xu Hunxian quickly went to wash his face and brush his teeth, this kind of thing was done by himself a long time ago. Soon, the little figure appeared in the kitchen again to help Xu's mother clean up the table.
"It seems that Hunxian is getting up earlier than me now, I have to work hard." Xu's father, who had just gotten up, couldn't help but joke when he saw Xu Hunxian, who was packing up his belongings and preparing for breakfast. "But Abba didn't wake up late, but I got up a little early today."
Xu Hunxian obviously didn't understand his father's tone, and answered seriously. In the face of such a son, Xu's father can only lose, although a large part of Xu Hunxian's character is the upbringing of him and his wife, but no matter how old-fashioned people are, they also have humorous times, so in the face of such a son, he will also feel very powerless.
"Okay, don't tease him anymore, hurry up and wash up and come over for dinner, I'll be busy after Zhuxian wakes up in a while." Xu's mother saw the situation at this time and hurried over to solve the siege, although her son's serious appearance was very funny, but now is not the time.
She is very busy, after preparing breakfast, she has to do housework and wake up her daughter, and from time to time she has to go to the piano school to visit, she is the principal, and she can't ignore it. Father Xu nodded, signaling that he understood, Xu Hunxian also started to eat breakfast, after the meal, Xu's mother cleaned up the table, and Xu Hunxian also started his daily study schedule.
When it comes to studying, I have to say that Xu Hunxian is a very serious person, since he started, he will definitely do things well with his heart, which is also what makes Xu's father and Xu's mother proud, in their opinion, talent is not worth boasting about, hard work is worth valuing. If talent determines the position of a person's starting line, then hard work dominates everything in later life.
In addition to studying every day, Xu Hunxian occasionally helps Xu's mother do some housework, but what she likes more is to take care of that cute sister, and she can't help but be happy when she sees Xu Zhuxian's little face.
Time is always unexpected, in the blink of an eye, it was time for Xu Hunxian's school, and on this day, he also got up very early as usual, the difference is that he has already put on a school uniform, with cute baby fat, and is a very handsome little Zhengtai, so that some evil Mother Xu can't help pinching his face.
Breakfast was ready, and after eating it simply, Xu's father and Xu's mother pushed Xu Zhuxian in the stroller and took Xu Hunxian to the school.
Today is the first day of school, and the principal came very early, and with a simple "please come in", the family walked into the principal's office. "Please be seated." When the principal saw the parents and students coming, he quickly got up and motioned for them to sit down on the sofa on the side, and then gave a few more people water.
The purpose of coming here is because of Xu Hunxian, so Xu's father began to say that the purpose of coming today has been some of Xu Hunxian's situation, and he hopes that the school can help take care of it. After learning about Xu Hunxian's condition, the principal pondered for a moment and said, "Please rest assured, what we can do will definitely provide some help, which is also the responsibility of the school." ”
The reason why the principal said this is mainly because Xu's father said that the school will not be held accountable for anything that happens, just take care of it a little, otherwise for the sake of the school's interests, it will definitely not be accepted, how many schools dare to ask for such a "dangerous" student?
At that moment, there was another knock on the door, and the headmaster said sorry, and then said, "Come in." The door opened, and in came a young woman in her twenties, with short hair, who looked relatively capable. The woman walked in and saw that there were people inside, she was slightly stunned, but she also knew what she had done, and she saluted slightly, and asked, "Principal, do you really want me to be the head teacher?" I only entered the school last year, right? ”
It turned out that it was for this matter, and the principal waved his hand: "Don't shirk anymore, everyone has seen your work last year, and they are very satisfied, so I believe that you can be qualified for this position." By the way, there is a student here who also seems to be in your class, you came just in time, he is not in good health, usually pay more attention. ”
In response to the female teacher, the principal introduced Xu's father and Xu's mother: "This is Xu Hunxian's homeroom teacher, named Yin Shanmei, very young, but a very responsible teacher." The principal's introduction made the female teacher embarrassed, but Xu's father and Xu's mother didn't care about this, and hurriedly thanked Yin Shanmei, hoping that she could take more care of Xu Hunxian in the future.
Yin Shanmei had no choice, things couldn't be changed, she could only accept it, so she responded politely: "It's nothing, you can rest assured." Class is about to start, so I'll take Xu Hunxian back to the classroom first, otherwise it will be too late. ”
Xu's father and Xu's mother found out that it had been a while since they came to school, so they said goodbye one after another, and when they left, they still expressed their gratitude to Yin Shanmei and the principal, this kind of etiquette must be done.
"Okay, Xu Hunxian, it's time for us to go to the classroom and meet new friends." Xu Hunxian's appearance is very cute, and her writing is quiet, which makes Yin Shanmei like it very much, and her tone can't help but be kind. Xu Hunxian nodded silently, was led by Yin Shanmei, and followed her to the classroom. In fact, like other students, he was afraid of this unfamiliar environment, but he didn't show it because of his strong personality, but just endured it silently.
The distance of the classroom is not far, just a moment of effort, and then arrived at the door of the classroom, Yin Shanmei asked Xu Hunxian to wait outside, but she walked to the podium in the classroom: "The children are quiet first, and they all return to their positions, below, I will introduce a new friend to you, and I will invite Xu Hunxian to come in and introduce himself." ”
After speaking, Yin Shanmei herself first puffed up, although the children below didn't know what happened to Lu Dao, but they all like to imitate what adults do, let alone the teacher, so there were bursts of applause below. At Yin Shanmei's signal, Xu Hunxian walked in and stood in front of everyone, first bowed, and then said a little nervously: "Hello everyone, my name is Xu Hunxian, please take care of me." ”
After speaking, it was a standard 90-degree bow, which seemed very polite. "Then Xu Hunxian Xi can find a place to sit down by himself." Yin Shanmei was very satisfied and said with a smile. Xu Hunxian nodded, walked down, found a place and sat down.
"Hello, my name is Park so-eun, I will take care of me in the future." After Xu Hunxian sat down, a little girl's crisp voice came from next to him. Xu Hunxian was more afraid of life, and responded simply, then turned his head and did his own thing again.
The curriculum in primary school is relatively small, and it is the first grade, just learning some basic knowledge, and the rest is activities, so time flies quickly, and before you know it, it is time to end school. Xu Hunxian packed up his textbooks, picked up his small schoolbag, and walked towards the school gate. Korean students generally go home by themselves, especially in the upper grades, and there are also people who come to pick them up, but there are not many, but now it is the first grade of primary school, and parents are not at ease, so they come to pick up their children back.
As soon as he walked to the school gate and saw his mother pushing a stroller, Xu Hunxian ran over quickly, the first time he left his mother for so long, he was still very unaccustomed to it.
"How? How is Wuli Hunxian doing today? Mother Xu squatted down and touched Xu Hunxian's little red face, full of concern. Well, it's okay, it's just that I miss it a little. Xu Hunxian was a little embarrassed, and his little face turned red.
Xu's mother smiled, although she also hopes that her son will learn to be independent, but she still likes to be by her side more, which is a bit contradictory, but it is the psychology of every mother. Mother Xu couldn't help but pinch Xu Hunxian's face again, I have to say that the expression that was inadvertently revealed just now was simply too cute, a bit like a little girl, so that Mother Xu, who was a mother, couldn't put it down, but she didn't care much about it, when Xu Hunxian grew up, she would naturally have a manly spirit, but now she was just a little contaminated with her for a long time.
However, Xu's mother sometimes takes a camera to capture such moments, and shows it to his wife and children in the future, maybe it is the weakness of his life, well, this is to satisfy her little interest.
"Let's go, let's go back together, Zhuxian cried when she didn't see you for a day." gently patted Xu Hunxian's little head, stood up, greeted him, pushed Xu Zhuxian's stroller and took Xu Hunxian home. Xu Hunxian didn't respond, and walked beside Xu Zhuxian to tease her. Mother Xu looked at it and smiled slightly, but she didn't care, but she was talking about the trivial things that happened today, although it was very complicated, but it felt very good.
From time to time, there are students playing with each other, and occasionally parents reprimanding their children, and pedestrians come and go, coming and going. I don't know when the night will come, and the world is not quiet because of the arrival of night, because soon, a new day will slowly come, and life will shine with the brilliance of yesterday.
