Chapter 9: Liu Zhibin
"Yue'er went to school at the entrance of the village, but we can rest assured, even Yue'er, you will only turn five years old in the second half of the year, I don't know if the village school will accept you as a student." Yang Tianzhi thought for a while and said, "That's it, tomorrow morning, I'll take Yue'er to Liu Zhibin's house to have a look and see what he has to say." It's not like you can go to this school, and you have to pass your cousin's exam. ”
Liu Zhibin mentioned by Yang Tianzhi is the principal of the village school, and three-quarters of the families in their village are surnamed Liu, and there are only a few foreign surnames, and the Yang family is one of them, so this village is also called Liujia Village.
Although Wang Shufen didn't want Yang Qianxi to go to school now, she felt that the child was tired and panicked, and she had to pay tuition, and Yang Qianxi had no one to play with Yang Panxi after she went to school, anyway, no matter how you look at it, she doesn't think it's a good thing. But listening to Yang Tianzhi say that his granddaughter may not pass the exam and cannot be admitted, Wang Shufen's mind of protecting the calf is different. Her granddaughter is so smart, then Liu Zhibin can't look down on it, his eyes are covered with!
"Don't be afraid, Yue'er, grandma is with you every day. We're so smart, we're sure we'll be able to pass the exam. Wang Shufen looked like an attacker, it seemed that tomorrow she would not accompany Yang Qianxi to find Liu Zhibin, the principal of the village school, to test, but to fight for territory, looking at Yang Qianxi for a moment, I don't know what weird things my grandmother thought of.
Determined tomorrow's itinerary, and there was nothing to say all night. The next day, the Yang family got up early. At breakfast, Wang Shufen also gave Yang Qianxi an extra egg and encouraged her to behave well today, which made Yang Qianxi very moved. And Yang Tianzhi also said a lot of words of encouragement to her at the dinner table for the first time, which made Yang Qianxi feel that she was going to the college entrance examination, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but twitch. Yang Qianxi really wants to tell her grandparents that it's just a primary school entrance exam, in fact, there is really no need to pay so much attention to it!
It's a pity that the Yang family attaches great importance to it. After eating, Wang Shufen dressed up the Yang sisters beautifully, and the family went out to Liu Zhibin's house to find someone.
Liu Zhibin, who was going to go out to work at the time of the sudden visit of the Yang family, was very confused. But when people are coming, you can't drive your neighbors out. Thinking about the things in the field, Liu Zhibin put down the farm tools and warmly welcomed the Yang family into the living room.
Liu Zhibin's wife brewed tea for the guests, and brought the peach from her own house to the Yang Qianxi sisters, washed them cleanly and put them on the plate, and took care of the little sisters with a smile to eat fruits. Seeing that they didn't take it, while praising Wang Shufen's good teaching, she stuffed a peach for each of them. Wang Shufen looked at it and didn't stop it, but she was polite. Liu Zhibin's wife was also polite, and after coming and going, the two women chatted.
On the other side, the men were also chatting.
"Brother Yang, come and smoke a cigarette." Liu Zhibin handed over the cigarette, "Brother Yang, is there something going on today?" ”
In recent years, the men in the countryside have smoked their own dry tobacco, grown it themselves, dried it themselves, the most common thing, and paper cigarettes are a rare thing in the countryside, if it weren't for Liu Zhibin still receiving the salary of the village principal, he would not be willing to buy this luxury. And Liu Zhibin used this thing to entertain Yang Tianzhi, it can be seen that the relationship between the two families is close, as well as Liu Zhibin's respect for Yang Tianzhi, that "brother" is not called in vain.
Yang Tianzhi saw the paper cigarette with a flash in his eyes, smiled and took the cigarette given by Liu Zhibin, and carefully clamped it behind his ear. Yang Tianzhi took a sip of large-leaf tea, and then said with some restraint: "Brother Liu, my brother came here today because I want to ask you for a favor." Oh, it's ......" The first time he pulled down his face and begged for someone, Yang Tianzhi didn't know how to organize the language, and became a little embarrassed.
"Eh, what do you say, you and I are in-laws, my youngest son is still your godson, what do you want or not. If there is anything, the eldest brother, you will say, and the younger brother will never say anything if he can do it. Liu Zhibin immediately interrupted Yang Tianzhi's words and said very sincerely.
These words made Yang Qianxi, who had been quietly paying attention to this side, stunned, she only knew that the relationship between the Liu family and her family was very close, and if there was anything, the people of the Liu family would come over to help. I always thought that the relationship between the older generation was relatively close, but I didn't expect that my family and the Liu family were still in-laws. Yang Qianxi turned her head to look at Yang Tianzhi's face, and found that he didn't object at all, so she knew that this thing was true. In this way, Yang Qianxi is more confident in Yang Tianzhi's persuasion of Liu Zhibin to let her go to school.
"Eh, it's as serious as you say." Yang Tianzhi beckoned to Yang Qianxi, and Yang Qianxi hurriedly ran over and stood beside Yang Tianzhi.
Yang Tianzhi touched Yang Qianxi's head and said, "Yue'er, this child, you also watched grow up, and you also know that Yue'er has been smart since she was a child. A few days ago, didn't Yue'er always take Yan'er to the village school, and when the child came back, he said that he was going to school, no matter how he said it. We are all rural people, but we don't have any skills in farming, but children can't be like us. Of course, my grandmother and I were very happy that the child was willing to go to school, but we were worried that she was too young and that the school would not accept her. So I want to bring it to you to see, aren't you the principal of the village school, the gentleman who went to school in the private school had to take the exam, Yue'er wants to go to school, you, the principal, should also take the exam to see if it is suitable. ”
"That's it, we're just bringing Yue'er over today and giving Brother Liu your test." Wang Shufen also said on the side, "Our family Yue'er has been smart since she was a child, so you can take the test casually, brother, don't worry that Yue'er can't answer." If Yue'er can't answer, then Yue'er is not good, and she should wait until she is seven years old to go to school. ”
Although Wang Shufen said modestly, her expression was "My family Yue'er is so smart, how can she not pass the exam". It's all from the same village, if you don't look up and look down, how can others not know Wang Shufen's character. Liu Zhibin's wife immediately answered and said that Yue'er was smart and would definitely be able to study. Anyway, if you say good things and don't need money, why should you offend people.
The two men didn't talk to the women, after all, Yang Qianxi was only five years old, and it was really a bit troublesome to go to school.
"Or, I'm still going to take the exam?" Liu Zhibin thought for a while and said, "Although going to school is just to pay tuition, and the school is safe, but Yue'er is still young after all, and she has not studied in kindergarten, if you can't keep up with anything, it will hit Yue'er's enthusiasm for reading in the future, but the gains outweigh the losses." ”
"Well, I think so too." Yang Tianzhi also said, "Actually, what I'm most worried about is the uncertainty of the moon, I want to study today, but I don't want to tomorrow." Now the child is still young, but this is a bad habit, if you want to go to school, you don't want to go, and when you are older, you really want to go to school, and the bad habit is formed, and you can't change it in the future. ”
"It's just that children are afraid of developing bad habits!" Liu Zhibin also nodded, and the two talked together.
