Bi Qiao’an lay motionless in the icy snow, watching helplessly as the falling flakes slowly buried her. As her consciousness faded, her mind drifted back to the three arduous years she had spent ...
Chapter 978 What's your name?
"Sister-in-law, are you coming back?"
Li Yueya smiled and reached out to tuck a strand of long hair that fell on her chest behind her ear: "Yes, my mother is still waiting for the rice to be cooked at home!"
"Then take your time."
"Yeah, take good care of your Brother Long and make sure he eats on time."
"I know, Brother Long, look how much your sister-in-law cares about you!"
The sturdy man named Brother Long came out of the shack with a satisfied look on his face, and raised his eyebrows proudly: "Go slowly on the road, come back another day."
"Okay, got it. You should come home more often."
After Li Yueya finished speaking, she twisted her waist and walked towards the base. One of the guys with shifty eyes looked at the other's graceful back and almost drooled.
He turned his head and bowed to Brother Long: "Boss, can I go see my sister-in-law off?"
Brother Long chuckled and said, "Go ahead."
There was a burst of laughter and everyone was making faces. Brother Long waved his hand nonchalantly and walked towards the shack next door.
"My dear, do you miss your brother today?"
"Brother Long, you still remember to come look for me. I thought you had a wife and you would forget about us, your little lovers."
"No, how could I forget my little beauty. My brother is here, Emma, baby, you look so soft today."
Dissonant sounds soon rang out in the shack, and both Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan were a little uncomfortable with it.
"Aren't you leaving yet?" Bi Qiaoan asked.
Shen Yanming frowned and nodded: “Let’s go over there and take a look.”
The direction he pointed to was the direction Li Yueya left. It looked like he was going back to the base, but he had to take a detour.
Bi Qiaoan didn't understand why, but he still followed him. The two of them were far behind the other two, probably about a kilometer or two away.
They were neither anxious nor impatient, and walked leisurely as if taking a walk, but their eyes were always on the two people in front of them who were talking and laughing.
Li Yueya and her younger brother had no idea that someone was following them, and not long after they hid in the woods, the embarrassing thing began.
"Aren't you afraid that Brother Long will know about this?"
"What are you afraid of? It's a matter of mutual consent. Aren't you happy?" Besides, Brother Long knew it.
"It's fun, but also a little scary."
"Isn't this more exciting?"
"That's right. Ah! Slow down, you bastard..."
Half an hour later, a coquettish voice was heard.
"Don't forget what you promised me."
"Don't worry, uncle and auntie are now half my father-in-law and mother-in-law. I will definitely send you home after get off work."
"I knew you were a good person. Alas, if the world wasn't so bad, I wouldn't have taken this path."
"Hehe, I quite like this. Otherwise, a second-rate guy like me would never be worthy of your lady's attention."
"Well, it's good that you know. Well, I won't say any more. I have to go back, otherwise my parents will be worried."
"Got it, dear. See you next time. Muah. Love you!"
As soon as the words fell, the couple saw Erliuzi coming out of the woods with his pants in his hands. But they didn't see Li Yueya, so she might have left in another direction.
Shen Yanming tugged at Bi Qiaoan’s sleeve: “Okay, let’s go.”
Bi Qiaoan didn't say anything, and followed him to avoid the second-rate guy. But he still heard a sentence: "Do you really think you are a pure and innocent girl?"
The two walked a long way without saying anything. They were both feeling a little heavy.
But they are not saviors and cannot dominate other people's choices.
Everyone in the world suffers. Who doesn’t? But the road ahead is under our feet.
Neither the couple mentioned it again and just went home.
In early July, the base announced a big news: the education will be restarted.
At present, the teaching staff is ready, and we are just waiting for students to register for school. However, this time, the system has been significantly reformed. In terms of the school system, the school system has been greatly reduced.
In simple terms, the original five-year elementary school system has been shortened to two to three years, and junior high and high school have been shortened to one and a half years. Of course, if you are talented enough, you can complete your studies in a shorter time. Not only will no one stop you from doing this, but you will be encouraged and supported.
Those who have completed half of their studies can continue or start over. This depends on the wishes of the students and their parents, as well as their assessment results.
The base does not force students to attend school, but it has introduced certain incentive policies. For example, there is no tuition fee for students to attend school, and children who pass the junior high school entrance exam can receive five kilograms of food per month, and those who pass the senior high school entrance exam can receive ten kilograms per month.
With encouragement, I believe the proportion of families willing to let their children study will increase greatly. After all, we are all people who have experienced the civilized era, and no one is unaware of the importance of knowledge. They are unwilling to do so because they are forced by the situation. Once there is an opportunity, we still have to work hard to make progress.
If you can get into university, it will be even more amazing. The alliance will focus on training you, and you will also receive special attention from the Imperial Capital. Your future is guaranteed, but it also means that the competition in education will be dozens of times more intense than before the end of the world.
As soon as Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan heard the news, they took An An and Nuan Nuan to register. The registrar was very fond of the two fair and tender little babies.
"Little boy, what's your name?"
"Hello, teacher. My name is Shen Xubai."
“My name is Shen Qingyu, and I’m five years old.”
The two gave their names and the registrar filled out the forms for them. He looked up and asked the couple, "Are you enrolling your child in preschool or first grade?"
The base does not have a kindergarten, and they cannot take care of children who are too young. Moreover, in an unstable environment, the changes are too great.
"First grade." The couple did not hesitate.
"You need to take an entrance exam to apply for the first grade. If you fail, you can only attend preschool first," the other party emphasized.
Chen Yanming smiled and said, "Sure. My two children have learned some characters, poems, and simple arithmetic before. They should be able to pass."
"Okay, I'll help them fill out the admission tickets. Come on time at 3pm for the exam, which will last for an hour."
The couple nodded: "No problem."
Later, the guard handed two small cards to An An Nuan Nuan: "Little friend, keep these well, you will need them this afternoon. Don't be nervous when the time comes, just write down what you know on the test paper."
An An Nuan Nuan nodded her head and said with a smile, "I understand, uncle." Then she waved her hand and left.
After returning home, the couple gave their two children a special training. Although they had taught them to read and count before, they had never asked them to do any test papers. Don't go there in the afternoon, they don't even know where to write their names.
Shen Yanming entered the space and found a pile of test papers from the study. He found two first-grade papers at the bottom and showed them to the two children. Seeing that they could do most of the questions, he felt relieved.
Lunch was dumplings stuffed with pork and green onions. The two kids were full after eating seven or eight of them.
Bi Qiaoan urged them to rest so as not to be exhausted during the afternoon exam.
Shen Yanming also kept persuading her: "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, you will definitely pass it."
