Chapter 337: Finding a School
"Grandma, you didn't dream, we're in Jiangcheng now!"
Sitting in her own house, Amy's heart felt amazing.
She knew that this place would be a new beginning in her life.
The original owner of the house used to have a very good family background, although it was only a two-entry yard, but the layout inside was very reasonable, the dining place was spacious and open, and you could see the tall jujube trees in the yard.
It was winter at the time of the college entrance examination, and it has only passed recently, and the weather is still cold, so there are no leaves on the trees, and they are bare.
Amy, however, did not find it ugly, but rather hopeful.
She pointed to the tree and showed Niu Niu, who was also lying by the window:
"Wait until next summer, we can eat dates in the yard, Niuniu is not happy?"
"Dates, dates! Niu Niu likes to eat dates! ”
Jujube is a rare thing in Mao'er Village, and Niuniu only ate one when a very powerful person in the brigade got married, and she has been remembering it until now.
Dates are crunchy, sweet, and the best fruit in the world!
Amy hugged Niu Niu and said with a smile:
"Okay, okay, when the time comes, we'll give all the dates that come down to Niuniu to eat, so that you can eat all the bellies and hold on to your stomach, okay?"
Niuniu's little face turned red, and she gently pulled the hem of Amy's clothes and said:
"Sister Xiao also eats, grandma also eats, and the rest is for Niuniu to eat, Niuniu doesn't eat much."
Amy and Grandma Wang looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere in the room instantly became happy.
Although there are electric lights installed in the house, the habit of going to bed early that has been cultivated over the years has made the three of them start to feel sleepy not long after eating.
Amy and Grandma Wang hurriedly made the bed they slept on, boiled hot water and washed up, and then fell asleep.
After tossing and turning in the car for such a long time, Amy quickly fell asleep although she was very excited.
Niuniu is still a child, and she doesn't think so much, she just feels that she has arrived at a very good new home, and she can still have sweet dates to eat in the coming year, so she left all the reluctance to separate from her friends in the village behind.
In the entire courtyard, only Grandma Wang couldn't sleep with her eyes open.
Today's weather is very good, and you can see the crooked moon outside through the window, unlike in the dilapidated house in Mao'er Village, where only a very small and high opening is opened for ventilation, and you can't see anything at all.
Grandma Wang knew that it was a very good place, the best place she had seen in so many years.
But because she is too good, she is even more unsure.
She knew that Amy was very capable, but she also knew that things in the city were expensive, and everything cost money.
And she's a lot old, and she has a granddaughter, so she can't really let Amy support such a big family.
Amy is good to her, she knows, but the more she knows, the more she tries to take care of the children.
Grandma Wang lay on the bed and thought a lot, and she didn't know when she was so sleepy that she couldn't stand it and fell asleep.
Yue'er traveled to the middle of the sky, she had a lot of messy dreams, in the dream there was a son who had not been seen for a long time, as well as a daughter-in-law, as well as the old and young of Mao'er Village, they were all talking about something, but she couldn't hear a word clearly.
But Grandma Wang knew that they were saying good things.
They envy her for taking in Amy in the first place, so the life of the family is getting better and better, and now they are coming to a big place like Jiangcheng.
Of course, there are also a few sour words, saying that she is a blind cat who meets a dead mouse and takes shit luck.
But Grandma Wang didn't remember these words, and when she woke up when the rooster crowed, she only remembered the joy in her heart.
As the only adult in the family for a long time, she has to support the whole family, so she has been getting up early.
But Jiangcheng is not Mao'er Village, and when Grandma Wang opened her eyes, it was still dawn outside.
When she first came to Jiangcheng, she was not familiar with the surrounding realm, so she didn't dare to go out casually, for fear that she would not be able to find her way back or meet gangsters, and she would cause trouble for Amy.
So she cleaned up the room that was not cleaned up yesterday with her hands and feet, washed her hands and cooked breakfast for the two children.
Amy smelled the smell of food before she got up, and she turned over comfortably in the bed, feeling happy from the bottom of her heart.
Grandma Wang knew that the two children must have been tired yesterday, especially Amy, who had taken such a long car and came out to find a house by herself, so she did not urge them to get up to eat, but put the prepared meals in the pot and warmed them.
And she went to look at the soil in the yard, and was ready to wait until it was ripe to ask what was good for planting here.
When Amy got up, she saw Grandma Wang squatting outside in the yard studying the soil, and she was busy laughing and pulling her to breakfast together.
"There are still a few days left to school, today we will go out together to familiarize ourselves with the surroundings, and then we will know where to buy something, and then go to see where Niuniu goes to school."
Yesterday, when Amy was walking here, she found that there was an elementary school not far from Jiangcheng University, and she planned to ask today.
Of course, Grandma Wang and Niuniu didn't object, and after eating and cleaning up, they locked the door and went out together.
Not far out of the courtyard gate is a street full of people, as well as a large supply and marketing cooperatives and state-run hotels.
Amy took a closer look and found that there were still not many private businesses, and most of them were under the guise of exchanging things for things.
After reading it, she knew that if she wanted to make money, she could only do it in private as before.
It was the first time for Grandma Wang and Niuniu to see such a large supply and marketing cooperative, and they stared at the people in line outside curiously.
Amy didn't stop it, because they were going to live here in the future, and these things were all things they had to be familiar with.
After seeing the supply and marketing cooperatives and the hotel, they went to the other next street a few times to make sure that everyone remembered the road before sending Grandma Wang home together.
"Niuniu's school is a little far away, you wait for us at home first, and we'll be back as soon as we finish things."
"Huh."
Grandma Wang was busy.
The first time she went to this kind of big city, she still felt flustered, and she always felt uncomfortable standing outside.
And there are still many places to clean up at home, and it is enough for her to be busy for a while.
Grandma Wang stayed at home to clean the room with peace of mind, and Amy took Niuniu and the proof she might need to go to the elementary school she had seen before.
There is a sign outside the elementary school that says the word "admission", and there is an uncle with a long beard sitting under the sign.
"Uncle, where should I go if I want to sign up for my sister?"
The uncle glanced at the two of them, and saw that they were neatly dressed and did not look like troublemakers, so he pointed in a direction.
"Go that way, go to the innermost office, where admissions is written."
"Thank you, uncle."
"Thank you, uncle."
Amy and Niuniu thanked each other in unison, causing the uncle to show a mouthful of smoked yellow teeth.
"Hey, pretty polite. After you go in, look for Mr. Huang, he will tell you what procedures you want, if you don't understand, just ask, don't be afraid, Mr. Huang is very good. ”
Listening to the uncle's instructions so much, Amy once again said thank you from the bottom of her heart.
She took Niuniu and walked in the direction pointed by her uncle, and after a few minutes, she saw a white paper on the entrance of an office.
The office looks very old, and to be precise, the whole school looks a little old, giving a heavy sense of history.
The door was painted with yellow paint, and the side of the door was a little black due to the dampness, and a few pieces of paint had fallen off, which looked mottled.
Amy probably had a judgment on the whole school, and confirmed that it was not a newly opened unreliable place, so she pulled Niu Niu to knock on the door.
"Hello, we're here to sign up."
"Please come in."
The voice coming from inside was thick and gentle, making both Amy and Niu Niu less nervous.
Pushing the door in, Amy found that there was no fire inside, and the whole room was filled with air-conditioning.
There was only one person sitting at his desk, wrapped in thick clothes, and his lips were still a little purple from the cold.
"Are you Mr. Huang?"
The man looked up at them, smiled and nodded.
"Yes, I'm Teacher Huang, this is the one who wants to sign up, right?"
Niuniu was a little frightened when she saw the stranger and ducked behind Amy.
Amy patted her hand lightly and said, "Good, it's okay, this is Mr. Huang." ”
After speaking, she apologized to Teacher Huang again.
"I'm so embarrassed, my sister just came from the countryside, so I'm a little embarrassed."
Amy took the opportunity to lead the conversation to the matter of registration.
As soon as Mr. Huang heard that he was from the countryside, he had a number in his heart.
"That's right, our school has a rule that those who study here must have these certificates issued by the village."
He placed a piece of paper with a lot of words written in front of Amy.
Amy looked down and found that she wanted a lot, but fortunately, she had considered all these in advance, and even Zhang Hui's two children she reminded to go and apply for relevant certificates at that time.
"We have all of these, so we'll bring them today."
Amy put the certificates in front of Mr. Huang one by one according to the requirements.
Teacher Huang didn't expect Amy to look big, she actually wanted to be so thoughtful, and her attitude was also very correct, she didn't make a fuss when she found out that there were too many materials like some parents, and she immediately felt a little more good in her heart.
He pushed the big black-framed eyes on the bridge of his nose and checked them against the demand sheet one by one.
When he saw the certificate of kinship and the words Mao'er Village, he glanced at Amy in surprise.
"You are an educated youth who was admitted to Jiangcheng University, right?"
Amy was also a little surprised.
"How do you know?"
Teacher Huang shook his head and smiled.
"My wife used to be a teacher at Jiangcheng University and recently returned to school, so I know that your school has a good policy, saying that you can bring your family into the city. But you're the first one I've ever met who actually brought my family and even my sister here. But it's good to bring it here, now that the education here in Jiangcheng has almost recovered, your sister can go to school here more stable. ”
Because he was a student of Jiangcheng University, Mr. Huang couldn't help but say a few more words.
After checking that there were no problems with the supporting materials, he asked Niuniu to sit in front of him again.
"Don't be afraid, child, the teacher will ask you a few questions."
Teacher Huang explained to Amy that this was a normal test for children from the township, and there was absolutely no other meaning.
Amy said she understood.
"It's true that many of the children below haven't read a book, and it's normal to have tests."
Otherwise, it would be troublesome to find out that you can't even write your name, so it would be better to test and determine what grade grade your child is suitable for before admitting your child to school.
"Thank you for your understanding and support. Okay, little friend, now look at this piece of paper and write your name on it. ”
