After the day's holiday, Wang Zhaozhao and her classmates continued to work hard, practicing questions, practicing, practicing, and practicing until New Year's Eve.
It was announced that there would be two days off, including the first day of the new year.
In fact, the teacher from the working group said that they could be sent home and picked up again on the afternoon of the first day of the new year.
Living in this passionate and exciting age, these future buds, a group of children who are highly valued and expected, were not very excited when they heard the news.
I don't think it's necessary to be so troublesome and there's no need to waste resources.
But no matter what, it is Chinese New Year, a special day. The teacher organized everyone to write Spring Festival couplets, decorate the cafeteria, and make dumplings together in the evening.
It was also a lively New Year.
Early in the morning of the first day of the new year, the physical education teacher who taught mathematics organized and led everyone to go hiking.
There is a dilapidated little temple on the mountain. Now people can burn incense and worship Buddha normally there, but they should be careful not to promote feudal superstition.
Wang Zhaozhao had vegetarian food at the temple for lunch, which he thought was okay. It was much better than when he was a child and had no food at home.
After returning home, we would eat early even though it was not yet mealtime, and then go back to the dormitory to wash up and rest.
The next day, the second day of the new year, we entered full-day learning mode again.
I didn’t take any more holidays after that, and worked straight to the 22nd.
After the training, what greeted them was not going home, but a brainstorming session and an invisible fight.
Unexpectedly, before leaving, each person was given a big gift package.
As for the final list of six members, don’t think too much about it for now. I just happened to go home for the Lantern Festival, and then I started registering for the new semester.
It was still Teacher Zhou who sent Wang Zhaozhao and the others off.
"Principal Chen, the three students have been returned to you unharmed." He handed the people back to Principal Chen personally.
"Thank you, thank you. Come on, let's have a cup of tea." Principal Chen expressed his sincere gratitude and warm invitation.
"Next time, I'll come again next time I have the chance. I have to hurry back now. I have a lot to do later."
"Is that so? Then I won't keep you any longer. Thank you for your hard work."
"See you later."
Teacher Zhou completed the handover and left without stopping.
Principal Chen did not delay Wang Zhaozhao and the others for long and immediately arranged for someone to send them home. After all, they had been away from home for more than a month.
"Principal, I don't need to be sent home." Zheng Yimin refused to be sent home by the teacher.
"We don't need..."
Wang Zhaozhao and Xu Yanni also spoke quickly, but were interrupted by Principal Chen, "Zheng Yimin is older than you, a boy, and he hasn't brought any luggage yet. You two can't do this."
Xu Yanni: “……!”
Wang Zhaozhao: “……!”
More than a month had passed, and the large net bag of things that Wang Zhaozhao brought with him had long been used up. However, after the training, he received a big gift package.
So, she had about the same amount of stuff as when she left.
Xu Yanni had a big bag of things.
Mr. Zhou Donglai from the Academic Affairs Office and their class teacher Fan Ye were called over and each sent one child home.
Wang Zhaozhao thought there was a lock on the door, but unexpectedly, the gate to the courtyard was wide open and it was quite lively.
"elder sister……"
Little Wang Dudu had sharp eyes and saw Wang Zhaozhao coming back at a glance. He shouted and ran over happily.
"Oh! Whose little brother is this?" Wang Zhaozhao also excitedly greeted the little guy and hugged him tightly.
I have to say, I haven't seen you for a month, and I'm so excited to see you.
"Sister Zhao, you're back." Wang Baojia ran over, followed by Wang Weiguo.
"Huh? Why are you two here?" Wang Zhaozhao was surprised and delighted.
"Hehe, Sister Zhao, guess what?" Wang Baojia smiled, his eyes full of unconcealable happiness.
Wang Zhaozhao gave him a look and let him figure it out for himself.
At this moment, Wang Dahai and Xie Ailian also came out.
"Grandpa, grandma, I'm back." Wang Zhaozhao smiled.
Xie Ailian seemed to have not noticed her at all and walked straight to Zhou Donglai behind her. "Hey, is this the teacher? Come on, come in and sit down."
Wang Zhaozhao; “……!”
But, it doesn’t have to be like this, right?!
"It's good that you're back. Let's go inside and invite your teacher in to sit down and have a cup of tea." Wang Dahai saw Wang Zhaozhao.
"Uncle, Auntie, I won't go in and sit down. I have to go back to school. The official registration starts tomorrow, and I have some things to do at school... I'm just here to take Wang Zhaozhao back."
Zhou Donglai declined politely, said goodbye, and left quickly.
No one in school has a moment of leisure these two days.
Wang Zhaozhao put away his things, changed into the cotton shoes he wore at home, washed his face with hot water as usual, and sat down to warm himself by the fire.
The square table in the living room is new, with a coal stove underneath and a shelf in the middle for putting your feet on. It must have been specially made by her uncle.
The feet are warmed up and the body is no longer cold.
Wang Zhaozhao also enjoyed VIP treatment - Xie Ailian poured her a cup of sugar water and brought out a plate of fruits.
"Wow, I'm so touched. I get treated like this when I get home." Although I don't like sugary drinks because they're too sweet, I'm really happy.
Xie Ailian hummed twice.
"Today is the fifteenth day of the lunar year. As the old saying goes, the Chinese New Year isn't over until the fifteenth day. You've... you've been visiting a distant relative and are coming back."
According to the custom in their village, during the Chinese New Year, people visit relatives and friends on the first day of the new year, and then make a cup of tea when they return home.
It was like something went wrong... that's what happened.
"Then..." Wang Zhaozhao's eyes turned, and he smiled and bowed, "Grandpa, Grandma, Happy New Year, and may you make a fortune. Give me the red envelope."
"Tsk... It's already the fifteenth day of the lunar month, and you still want a red envelope? I don't have any!" Xie Ailian gave her a reproachful look.
Wang Zhaozhao pouted, "Who just said that you can't be born until after the 15th?"
Xie Ailian: “……!”
"Okay, okay, I'll give you a red envelope." She said as she stood up.
Wang Zhaozhao pulled the corners of his mouth, revealing two big dimples, "Hehe."
I happily grabbed a handful of melon seeds and started eating them. If I don’t eat melon seeds during the Chinese New Year, the New Year will feel incomplete.
So before the New Year, she wants to eat a pound of melon seeds.
After a while, Xie Ailian came out of the house with a few red envelopes in her hands.
"Oh, there really is one?" Wang Zhaozhao threw the melon seeds in his hand, clapped his hands, and presented it with both hands.
Xie Ailian couldn't bear to look at her. She slapped her hand and put the red envelope in her hand again. "Here, I have all the red envelopes I should have received in previous years. I have kept them all for you."
"Thank you, grandma, and thank you to every elder who gave me red envelopes. Even though they can't hear me now, they can definitely feel my sincerity."
“……!”
