Shu Miao didn't hear what the others were muttering, but she just saw Zi Li holding his head high, looking extremely arrogant and tsundere.
Before he or she could go over and ask what was going on, the boys who were waiting by the roadside set off again.
Shu Miao: "..."
Fortunately, they did not race at high speed for the next section of the road, and Shu Miao fell behind them by a few meters.
Afterwards, they passed by another housing cluster, but this time no one explained to her which brigade it belonged to.
But the occasional shouting and urging made her realize that there were also children going to school in Yueer Bay.
On the way ahead, we met a lot more people than in the first two groups.
Moreover, children of different ages appeared one after another, walking in groups of three or four.
Occasionally listening to what they said, Shu Miao was not bored at all during the journey.
It was not until we climbed over a particularly wide mountain that the view ahead suddenly opened up.
Below are stretches of farmland that stretch as far as the eye can see.
In the middle is a winding river in the shape of a crescent, dividing the entire farmland into two banks, making the name "Yue'er Bay" particularly worthy of its name.
Shu Miao was truly amazed by the vast fields in front of him.
But the next moment, he was quickly brought back to his senses by a burst of loud cheers.
When she heard the sound, she looked and saw Shu Zili and his group, each of them as if they had been injected with chicken blood, running down the hillside with their arms open.
The bursts of laughter and exclamations spread far away.
The other children probably thought it was fun too and started to follow suit.
Seeing these children rushing down the hillside in waves like dumplings, Shu Miao felt terrified.
If someone slips and falls, wouldn't it be like a row of dominoes, with one person tripping over the other?
Fortunately, these children seemed to have gained experience in this game and each of them kept their distance in a measured way.
At least for a while, Shu Miao didn't see anyone showing any signs of falling.
Helpless for a moment, she had no choice but to follow their footsteps.
But compared to the wild and reckless rush of others, she chose to walk slowly. Even so, the inertia of the downhill slope pushed her steps forward, and her speed increased rapidly.
Compared with the difficulty of climbing, the effortless descent is really enjoyable.
As the laughter continued to come from his ears, Shu Miao couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.
Maybe he was too happy, but Shu Zili, who was running in the front, completely forgot that he had to take care of his sister. He took advantage of the momentum of the downhill road and just ran as fast as he could.
Because Zili and his classmates had been deliberately slowing down their pace to wait for her along the way, Shu Miao never thought that she would not be able to catch up with them.
By the time she realized that Zili's speed was increasing instead of decreasing, it was too late. She could only watch his figure disappear around the corner.
But in an instant, Shu Miao immediately gave up the idea of speeding up to catch up.
With so many children traveling with her on this trip, she doesn't have to worry about not being able to find the school. Why should she be so anxious?
The main reason is that even if she goes after him, she may not be able to catch up.
After figuring out the key, Shu Miao felt at ease following the crowd, and specifically followed those who were walking in a large group.
Sure enough, after turning a few corners, I saw a large courtyard in the distance.
Although we didn’t see the iconic five-star red flag, the five-pointed red star painted on the courtyard wall was enough to explain everything.
After entering this road, it also diverges from the main road.
The road became narrower and I felt that the surroundings suddenly became much more crowded.
Some were playing together in groups of three or four, some were hurrying to school with food in their hands, and some were reciting texts while walking with books in their arms. Everything was so lively.
Soon, Shu Miao discovered a problem, that is, there were almost no children carrying backpacks like her, and almost everyone carried a cloth bag slung across their waists.
This should be the "schoolbag" unique to this era.
At the same time, she also discovered a common point, that is, the children carrying green cloth bags with five-pointed stars on them all had relatively new clothes and no patches.
It's obvious that the family is relatively wealthy.
After having a rough idea in mind, Shu Miao no longer hesitated and went straight to the school gate.
In front of the gate, she stopped, looked up at the four big words "Yuhong Primary School", and a hint of expectation flashed across her eyes.
At this moment, Shu Zili finally remembered that he still had a younger sister. He was as anxious as an ant on a pot, and pulled Huang Mansui to look for someone.
I didn't feel relieved until I saw my sister standing at the school gate, looking at something.
Huang Mansui, who witnessed all this, laughed mercilessly, "You are incredible! If this happened in my house, you would definitely be hung up and beaten by my mom, hahahaha..."
Shu Zilili knew he was in the wrong, so he pushed him away timidly and said, "Get out of the way. We don't need you now."
"Tsk, look at how capable you are. Don't forget your duty today!" Huang Mansui pushed him back, patted his head, and smiled triumphantly.
"I understand, get out of here!" He impatiently waved away the hand that was causing trouble on his head and rushed to the door angrily.
Without saying a word, he grabbed Shu Miao's hand and ran to the office.
"Report!"
The middle-aged man who was correcting test papers looked up at the two of them and asked them to come in.
Before either of them could speak, he pulled out a test paper from the bottom and said, "Shu Zili, you came just in time. You've passed the exam for the second grade. Take this and report to the second grade."
"Thank you, Teacher Gao!" When Shu Zili heard that he had passed the exam, he grinned with joy and couldn't wait to take the test paper with both hands to check the score.
When he saw the 92 points annotated in red pen, he smiled so hard that his teeth were showing and he completely forgot the purpose of coming here.
Gao Xingyi was also filled with relief when he saw him smiling happily.
He knew that every family was not well off these days, and that they had to tighten their belts to send their children to school.
He has always been happy to see talented children skip grades if they have a good foundation in order to save money for their families.
After a moment of thought, he shifted his gaze to the unfamiliar girl standing next to Shu Zili.
"What's wrong with you, little girl?"
Shu Miao was standing on tiptoe to peek at Shu Zili's test paper. When he heard the question, he quickly stood up straight.
She looked at him with bright eyes and said in a clear and loud voice, "Hello, Teacher Gao, I'm here to sign up!"
When Shu Zili heard the noise, he realized that he had forgotten about it again. He put away the test paper with a guilty conscience.
He hurriedly put down his backpack, handed the bag of grain in the basket to Teacher Gao, and repeated what his mother taught him.
Gao Xingyi concealed the surprise on his face, first opened the cloth bag to check the quality of the millet, and after confirming that there was no problem, he weighed it and instantly had an idea in his mind.
Without saying anything more, he just smiled and nodded, then took out a stack of receipts from the drawer and asked while writing,
"What's your name?"
"Shu Miao."
"Oh?" Gao Xingyi's writing hand paused, but soon returned to normal.
