The Lantern Festival came in a blink of an eye. For Wang Zhaozhao and the others, this festival didn't seem to be anything special.
Oh, and sign up today.
The registration date for this semester is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival.
Registration is a matter that seems to be taken very seriously.
Even Wang Sanbing came to Dayun Lane early in the morning with Wang Baojia and Wang Weiguo.
I just won’t go to school with you as usual.
Wang Erbing even got up early and took the first bus to arrive.
It's quite strange that Zhang Xiu'e didn't come with us.
After entering the school, Wang Zhaozhao scratched her head. Why did it seem like everyone looked at her with strange eyes along the way?
What's the matter? Even though she doesn't have to pay any fees, she still has to go through the registration process, right? And, as per custom, Principal Chen might want to meet with her parents.
Sure enough, after Wang Sibing took Wang Zhaozhao and Wang Xingwen to register, he was invited to the principal's office for tea.
Not surprisingly, Xu Yanni and her father also came.
However, the topic that Principal Chen wants to talk about today is different from the past.
"Regarding Wang Zhaozhao and Xu Yanni's promotion to high school, I hope you parents...will not contact any school for now."
Eh?
Is there something special about this?
"School has just started anyway. It's not too late to wait until April or May." Principal Chen said with a smile.
Although they didn't understand the deeper meaning, everyone believed that Principal Chen definitely had good intentions.
The three adults were busy, so after a brief chat, Xu Chengnian and Wang Sibing said goodbye and left with Wang Zhaozhao and Xu Yanni.
Then, along the way, Xu Chengnian and Wang Sibing chatted more enthusiastically than Wang Zhaozhao and Xu Yanni?
When they arrived at the school gate, Wang Zhaozhao and Xu Yanni were unable to whisper a few words as usual, and could only wave goodbye.
Wang Xingwen, who was waiting there, came over and the three of them went to meet at the elementary school together.
"No, Fourth Uncle, why do you and Yanni's dad seem to be very familiar with each other?" Wang Zhaozhao asked Wang Sibing suspiciously.
"As the saying goes, the first time is strange, the second time is familiar. I have known your Uncle Xu for three years. It is normal for us to become familiar with each other, right?" Wang Sibing asked back.
Wang Zhaozhao: “……!”
That's true, but it doesn't feel that way.
However, she didn't need to dig into the matter.
In the afternoon, Xie Ailian took Wang Erbing and Wang Jingjing to buy daily necessities.
Wang Zhaozhao was wrapping book covers at home with Wang Xingwen and others when she accidentally found out why several people looked at her strangely in the morning.
"Haha, you think too much." Wang Zhaozhao shook his head.
Given the father-daughter relationship between her and Wang Erbing, could she still be sad because Wang Erbing is particularly concerned about Wang Jingjing's studies?
Does not exist.
"Sister Zhao, are you really not sad?" Wang Baojia asked.
Wang Zhaozhao brought her face closer and said, "Come, take a closer look at my expression. Do you feel sad at all?"
"No." Wang Baojia really looked carefully, but couldn't see it.
"Tsk~~~"
As Wang Zhaozhao retreated, he waved his hand to drive away a mosquito called Baojia.
After buying a bunch of things, Wang Erbing wanted to drive the cart back to the village, but was stopped by Xie Ailian.
Let him go to the tube building at night and squeeze in with Wang Sanbing for the night.
So that I don’t have to rush over again tomorrow morning to send Wang Jingjing to school.
In fact, they had enough room here, but since they were only staying for one night, Xie Ailian was too lazy to make the bed.
The room where Wang Jingjing lived these days was the one that Xie Ailian had cleaned up and which was where Wang Xingwen and his friends had lived before.
Firstly, knowing Wang Zhaozhao's bad temper, she might not want Wang Jingjing to squeeze with her for a few days.
Secondly, I thought that although Wang Jingjing was boarding, she would occasionally stay overnight on weekends, so I might as well get an extra bed.
Wang Zhaozhao didn't think too much about it. If they had to squeeze in for a few days, she would not refuse for Xie Ailian's sake.
However, it would be better if Xie Ailian arranged it that way.
The next day.
Wang Zhaozhao rode her beloved little bicycle to go to school.
Maybe Xie Ailian felt that she agreed because she didn't want to go with Wang Erbing.
The school days passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, a month was gone, and in the blink of another, it was the midterm exam.
At the same time, there was another great event: a telephone was installed in their home.
Just as Wang Sibing had guessed, they didn't have to pay the high installation fee, and even the telephone was given for free. Xie Ailian was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.
"Sister Zhao, from what you said, it seems that the midterm exam is also a happy event." Wang Baojia, who was watching the phone, curled his lips and complained.
"Really? How can you compare installing a phone with a midterm exam?"
So, before Wang Zhaozhao could respond, he was "sanctioned" by Wang Xingwu by strangling his neck.
"Grandma, let me try our phone to see if it's clear."
Wang Zhaozhao raised his hand to apply.
"Okay." Xie Ailian nodded in agreement when she heard her say that she just wanted to try to see if she could hear clearly.
So, Wang Zhaozhao called Xu Yanni and the two chatted for about twenty or thirty minutes.
Wang Baojia and the others were speechless.
We were together six and a half days a week, and we'd just been apart after school for less than an hour, yet we could still talk on the phone for so long?!
As soon as she hung up the phone, Xie Ailian immediately wanted to drive her away.
"Grandma, I still need to make a phone call."
Wang Zhaozhao hit Chen Pei again, and then hit Xu Jiaying again.
Finally, with Xie Ailian's murderous look in her eyes, she called Zhao Shinan as well. They just chatted briefly for a few minutes, less than three minutes.
Xu Renjie and Chu Jian’s calls had to be answered through the public phone in the family compound, which was a bit troublesome, so they let it go for now.
cough!
The main reason is that I’m afraid her grandmother won’t be able to help but pull her ears.
The first three minutes of a call are five cents, and any time beyond three minutes is two cents per minute.
She may, perhaps, should have just spent more than two dollars on phone bills.
I can buy three pounds of meat...
"No! We have to make a box and lock the phone." Xie Ailian said with pain.
Wang Zhaozhao: “……!”
There’s no need to do this, right?
Of course, Comrade Xie Ailian's idea was strongly opposed by her entire family, Wang Sibing.
Finally, Wang Dahai nailed a board on the wall and placed the telephone higher to prevent Wang Chaohui from playing with it.
On the fifth day after the midterm exam, while they were having dinner, the phone rang in their house.
"Ring, ring, ring..."
The ringtone was so sharp and sudden that Xie Ailian was startled.
When Wang Sibing went to answer the phone, she was still patting her chest.
However, without realizing it, I got closer.
Well……
I saw her leaning sideways and tilting her ear, clearly eavesdropping.
