There is no school in Yaojia Village, and there is only one middle school and seven primary schools in the boundary of Muxiang, and the closest to Zhen's house is Qitang Village Elementary School.

This village school, which has only three teachers and five classes, is one mile away from the entrance of Yaojia Village, and Zhen's family at the foot of Daqingshan Mountain in the east of the village is far away.

Zhen Gang led Zhen Zhu to the foot of the mountain, and was seen by the sharp-eyed Chen Erniang.

"Gangzi, where are you leading your Zhen Zhu?"

Zhen Gang smiled, "The children are six years old, take her to sign up!" ”

Chen Erniang pursed her lips disdainfully, "What kind of books do girls read!" Sooner or later, don't they all have to get married! Your Zhen Zhu is so beautiful, don't worry about not being able to get married! Why waste that money, two dollars a semester! ”

Zhen Zhu rolled her eyes in the depths of her heart, how serious is this patriarchal thinking!

Is it a waste for girls to read?

It's good that it's not with your family's money.

Zhen Gang smiled reluctantly and said, "Send it to study for a few years, so as not to find the way out of the house, fail to settle the account, and lose yourself!"

As soon as Chen Erniang heard this, she glanced at Zhen Zhu meaningfully and said, "The road is in your mouth, it doesn't matter if you don't know how to read, just ask." But if you read more and go far, the cooked duck will fly! ”

Zhen Gang was stunned and glanced at Zhen Zhu uneasily.

Zhen Zhu lowered his head and counted his fingers, looking like he didn't understand, which made Zhen Gang breathe a sigh of relief.

Zhen Gang smiled unnaturally at Chen Erniang, "Erniang is also busy, I still have to sign up with this girl!" I went first. ”

After speaking, Zhen Gang pulled Zhen Zhu and walked fast as if someone was chasing him behind him.

Zhen Zhu was pulled by Zhen Gang and stumbled.

Zhen Gang came back to his senses and smiled at Zhen Zhu embarrassedly, "Are you okay?" ”

Zhen Zhu shook his head, followed behind Zhen Gang, and walked towards Qitang Village.

The words of Chen Erniang and their neighbor Gu's sister-in-law came from their ears.

"Girls' families, what kind of books do you read!"

"Yes. Their Zhen family is poor and generous. Spending so much money for that woman to read so many books, it's not cheaper!"

"When you say that, don't you think that Zhen Zhu looks more and more like that woman the longer she looks."

"It's really too! If you don't say that I don't think it yet, as soon as you say it, the more I look at it, the more I feel like it!"

"You say, that Zhen Zhu, shouldn't it be ......?"

"No! When Mei Zi was pregnant with a stone, everyone saw that Ma Erye ran several times a month, and the smell of Chinese medicine was ...... Tsk......"

"You saw Wu Meihuai inviting Second Master Ma, what about Wu Meihuai's boss? The one that saw? Holding two a year, so coincidentally?"

"Then Wu Mei, can you bear it?"

"Women, aren't they all like that? Is it possible to leave? ”

……

The more Chen Erniang and Sister-in-law Gu talked, the more they became more and more energetic, Zhen Gang's face became more and more ugly, Zhen Zhu had mixed feelings in his heart, and his face was indeed not obvious at all.

Looking at Zhen Gang's increasingly heavy steps, Zhen Zhu's heart was sour.

Either way, the child is innocent.

Thinking of this, Zhen Gang, who walked out of Yaojia Village, took a deep breath, then pretended to smile casually and stretched out his hand to Zhen Zhu.

"It's still far ahead! The road is not easy to walk. ”

Zhen Zhu smiled and put his little hand on Zhen Gang's big palm.

Although this father's love is not much, it is still thick.

In these years, the family is not rich, and there are not a few people who think the same as Chen Erniang. Even if you have the heart to let your child study, there are not a few who can't make up the cost of books.

There are still two days left before school, but very few children are registered. In the summer, there are not many acquaintances along the way.

No one continued to mention the matter, and the atmosphere between father and daughter became warm and harmonious again.

The big hand held the small hand and walked to the small Qitang Village, and the big sun was already hanging in the air.

The old principal, Mr. Lu, is playing chess with an old man!

Seeing that there were no chess pieces left on the chessboard, Zhen Gang pulled Zhen Zhu and found a big bluestone to sit down.

Watching chess is not a true gentleman, although Zhen Gang does not read much, he still understands this truth.

Zhen Zhu also sat obediently and didn't say a word.

The two old men looked at the father and daughter, smiled, and continued to talk.

After a while, Mr. Lu was generalized.

Mr. Lu threw away the chess pieces and said with a smile, "Even if you win, I still have something to do here, let's play another day?"

The old man in the white shirt on the other side raised his eyebrows, "Isn't it just to sign up!" Isn't it just a matter of charging two dollars and opening a slip, which took a few minutes? I'll wait for you!"

Mr. Lu shook his head, "What you said is light, this girl is not old at first glance......"

The white shirt pouted, "You can only study at the age of seven?" What are the rules, you are enlightened at the age of three, aren't you also full of peach and plums? Look at your place, how many students are there, how many girls are there? I still think about you breaking the rules, and when this girl's family regrets it next year, you will be tantamount to mistaking this little girl for a lifetime. ”

In the face of the white shirt's strong words, Mr. Lu was speechless.

Zhen Gang pushed Zhen Zhu to Mr. Lu, and said with a smile, "This child is old enough, he was born prematurely, and he has grown a little smaller!"

Mr. Lu paused and smiled at Zhen Zhu, "Little girl, touch your right ear with your left hand!"

Zhen Zhu obediently stretched out her left hand and touched her right ear.

Mr. Lu was anxious, "Hey! No, be like me......"

As he spoke, he put his left hand over his head and placed it on top of his right ear.

Zhen Zhu hesitated for a moment.

Touching her right ear with her left hand is basically the first test for all children to enter school, and she has quietly tried it at home, and the results are ......

The white shirt also saw something, took Mr. Lu's hand, and said with a smile, "You said, the little girl did the same, and the people didn't do it right, it was you who didn't make it clear, but it's not bad for others, you can't be cheating." ”

Mr. Lu watched his chess addiction and his friends who were messing around, and he was very helpless.

"Done! You've passed this level! But there are two more things you have to do. ”

Zhen Zhu looked at Mr. Lu with a pair of big eyes without blinking.

Mr. Lu suddenly felt that his throat was tight, his scalp was numb, and he had a sense of embarrassment that he was going back on his word, making trouble unreasonably, and being caught.

Mr. Lu coughed lowly, cleared his throat, and said slowly, "That's it!" How about you go over there and pick up a branch, write it from one to ten, and then write your name, and I'll take you? ”

Zhen Zhu nodded.

Zhen Gang looked at his daughter with some surprise, and then silently went to get a branch for his daughter.

I think that woman was also so smart back then......

Zhen Gang shook his head, as if this would shake this thought and that face out of his mind.

There is a clump of green bamboo at the small entrance of Qitang Village, which is Mr. Lu's favorite.

Zhen Gang took a bamboo branch from a green bamboo, and there were no burrs at all, so he handed it to Zhen Zhu.

From one to ten, it's not that hard.

But when Zhen Zhu wrote Arabic numerals, Chinese, and capitalization together, and then paired with the neat and neat character Zhen Zhu, Mr. Lu was still surprised.

"Who did you learn from?"

Zhen Zhu raised his head and smiled, "There are textbooks at home, and I follow them, right?"
