Chapter 24: School Starts
The time of the holidays always passes much faster than usual, as if it was just a few rains, and it seems that after just a few sleeps, summer has slipped away.
When the first yellowing leaves fall from the branches, school opens.
Teachers have to go to school two days in advance to prepare, and Ruan Yu is no exception, and at the end of August, she sent Tianniu back to her grandmother's house.
The three children had already agreed that they would follow their older siblings and see what elementary school was like.
What kind of curiosity, it's not curiosity, we're just here to send my brothers and sisters to school.
A child who did not want to be named said.
Ou Xiangxue is going to be in the fourth grade this semester, and he and his friends have already made an appointment to go to school together today.
Ou Wan was the first day of school, Qin Liuya was not at ease, and personally led the child to school, Ou Xiangxue and his friends played all the way, and soon ran to the front.
Qin Liuya and Ou Wan took care of the three children who followed behind, and their speed was not too fast. Qin Liuya thought that it would be okay to take them there, when she came back, she would bring them back together by the way, and she would lead them together.
This primary school was built by several nearby villages, and there are a total of six teachers including the principal, and one person leads one grade.
Outside the school is a fence, and through the iron fence at the gate, you can see a row of mud houses that serve as classrooms. At the door, there was an old janitor sitting on a small bench smoking a dry cigarette, and he looked at the children who were rushing in, and his face was wrinkled and could not hide a smile.
On the first day of school, textbooks were handed out, but they didn't teach any classes, and their parents also came, so the teacher let a few children get in.
Qin Liuya went to pay the tuition, and separated from them when she entered the school gate.
In the completely unfamiliar environment of school, Ou Wan is actually a little scared, but there are younger brothers and sisters who need more care than her.
She secretly cheered herself up in her heart, she was a sister, she couldn't be afraid.
is different from what she thought, the three little guys are actually very open, especially the sweet girl, she has already begun to wander around.
Sweet girl is not a child who pays special attention to appearance, she has a little habit, no matter where she goes, whether it is beautiful or ugly, as long as it is the first time to come, she will seriously observe around.
Of course, the premise of running around is that she has a family by her side, she is a good child and will not run around alone.
Just like now, she is holding her sister in her hands.
The brothers and sisters didn't have a destination, so they all followed her.
Tianniu followed her mother to the primary school in the city, and compared to there, this rural primary school seemed very simple.
The playground is a few lines drawn on the ground with white paint, and even the classrooms are yellow mud, and there is not even a serious lectern, so the desks used by the students are used instead.
I can only be glad that this school is not too long, otherwise, seeing the mottled walls and dilapidated desks and chairs, the children will not be happy to stay here longer.
The classrooms are all the same, the playground is unobstructed, the students bring their own lunch from home, there is no cafeteria in the school, the teacher's office cannot be entered, a few children take a look at the door and leave, and it doesn't take much time to walk around the school.
Before Qin Liuya, who went to pay the tuition, came back, Tianniu already knew about the general situation of this school.
"That's not going to work."
Sweet girl faces her brother and sister, and her little face is full of seriousness.
"Sweet girl, what did you find?"
Xiao Qin reacted quickly and immediately picked up the phone.
"There are no curtains in the classrooms, and when the sun is shining in the summer, it is uncomfortable for the light to shine into the eyes."
"There are no flowers or trees, it's bare."
"How can a school be like this?"
The old headmaster was patrolling the school, and when he saw this group of children who were obviously not of school age, he came over curiously and listened to a few words.
He looked around, and it was indeed bare, not green at all.
"Well, I should plant some plants."
Sweet girl is not afraid of life at all, and when she heard that a stranger agreed with her words, she nodded happily.
From the expression to the action, it reveals a sense of "you know the goods very well".
The old headmaster withdrew his gaze from the school environment and focused on the little girl who spoke.
It is barely to the height of an adult's waist, his hair is braided into two braids, hanging down on his chest, white short sleeves, and a water-red skirt.
I don't know if she sensed that the old man was looking at her, and the sweet girl raised her little face to look over.
Her little face is clean, completely different from the little mud monkeys in the school who often make their faces black and white, and her smart eyes reveal a sense of intelligence.
She is not the kind of delicate and amazing appearance with her facial features, and when she takes her facial features apart, she can find some small faults.
The eyebrows are a little light, the eyelashes are not curled enough, the nose is not straight enough, the teeth are not straight, and the smile will show two tiger teeth.
But when they were placed on her face, they were extremely harmonious, showing an attraction that came out of nowhere, and made people happy at the sight.
The old principal liked it more and more, and he couldn't wait to make an exception for her, and now recruit her to be his student.
"Little girl, what's your name, and from which village?"
He slowed his tone, trying to make himself appear more amiable.
Of course, making an exception is not something he can do by saying it casually, he can only think about it, and now he can only ask the name in advance to leave an impression.
"My name is Tianniu, and my family lives in Langang Village."
Sweet Girl knew that she was safe at school, and generously reported her name and address.
It's a name that suits this little girl.
The old headmaster secretly wrote down her name in his heart.
But unfortunately, the old principal did not know that this little girl would not come to this elementary school in the future.
He was still thinking about talking to the little girl a few more words, when he heard a voice in the distance.
The voice was soft and soft, like a drizzle compared to the loud voices that were standard for the women of the village, and although it was a reminder, it did not mean much reproach.
"Evening girl, why are you still here? Go to the classroom and find the teacher. ”
The person who came was Qin Liuya.
She also noticed the old man here, everyone still respected the old man very much, she nodded lightly, counted as a greeting, and continued to ask Ou Wan.
"Do you know where the first grade classroom is? Do you want me to go with you to find it? ”
There are only six classrooms in total, and she can't find it, no matter how bad it is, she can also ask the junior brother.
Ou Wan shook her head.
The sun is high, and the time is not early.
"Mother, you go back first."
Her mother delayed a lot of things in order to accompany her to school, and the sooner she went back, she could do more farm work.
The old headmaster reacted half a beat slowly, and by the time he remembered to keep people, the whole family had already left cleanly, and there was no one left.
The old headmaster was left alone, and in the early autumn wind, his figure was a little lonely.
