Chapter 36 Problems with Children Going to School



Cheng Jie also asked Gu Tingzhou when he planned to send his child to school. He planned to send the little one to the first grade when school starts in September.

He has already laid some foundations of numbers and letters for the little boy, and he has also learned some simple words.

He also said that the students in the commune primary school are getting worse every year, and many children have dropped out of school. He went to visit the homes of some students with good grades yesterday to inquire about their schooling situation this year, so he came back late.

Influenced by the general environment, everyone now feels that studying is meaningless and it is better to learn to farm as soon as possible. Doesn’t the country also advocate supporting rural areas and going to the countryside?

Gu Tingzhou has experienced this period and knows that light will always come and knowledge can change destiny.

He thought for a moment and asked, "Dabao is over four years old, and I also want him to go to school. I have taught him some simple arithmetic these days, but I don't know if he can keep up."

Cheng Jie laughed and said, "How can they not keep up? Children who have just started school have no basic knowledge and are starting from scratch.

School will start in a few days. If you are at ease, I can let Dabao and Maotou go to first grade together. My bicycle can accommodate two children without any problem."

Gu Tingzhou suddenly realized that this was not the era of thirty years later when children had to have a basic foundation before being sent to school. Children nowadays were sent directly to teachers without knowing anything.

"Thank you very much."

"Dabao, are you willing to go to school with Brother Maotou?" Li Qingyun asked, touching his head.

"I want to go." Dabao said without hesitation.

My father said that if I study hard, I will have a bright future and can be like him and my godfather, become a superior person with many choices and make a lot of money.

He wants to earn a lot of money for his mother and Erbao.

Cheng Jie also asked the little boy, "Maotou, Daddy has given you a task. Take good care of your little brother Dabao. Can you do it?"

Maotou had a throat injury and hadn't eaten, so he sat aside playing. When he heard his father's question, he nodded heavily.

His serious look made everyone laugh.

Considering the little boy's injury, he will probably need another week to recover before he can go to school.

We agreed to send the two children to school together in a week. Cheng Jie would make arrangements with the school, and we could just go there directly when the time comes.

It is just right that during this time, I can lay more foundation for Dabao.

Gu Tingzhou felt that he was a jerk in his previous life. The more he got to know Dabao during these days, the more guilty he felt.

In the name of being busy with work, I neglected the growth of my two children and did not care about or understand my son.

His eldest son is such a smart child. He can learn anything he is taught very quickly and apply it to other situations.

In his previous life, he believed what that woman said and thought that the child did not like to study and had no ambition.

In the end, the father and son turned against each other. As a father, he was really negligent and did not understand his child well.

He is not a good father.

Now when I think back to my previous life, I realize how ridiculous I was. I was blind and pushed my children further and further away.

After the meal, everyone happily thanked Gu Tingzhou and Cheng Jie's family before leaving.

This was a really good meal that is hard to come by even during the Chinese New Year, and everyone ate until their bellies were full.

After washing, tidying up, and coaxing the second baby to sleep, Li Qingyun's busy day was finally over, and then it was time for herself.

"If you feel crowded, just move to the west room and rest. You are already a patient, and the children's noise at night will affect your rest." Li Qingyun said while wiping her hair.

Gu Tingzhou instinctively didn't want to move there.

"No need. A family should be together. Besides, you are tired and I can help you at night." He said solemnly.

After hearing what he said, Li Qingyun didn't know what to say. Besides, with him around, she felt much more relaxed at night. Sometimes he could take care of Erbao by himself without having to get up.

The couple discussed Dabao's studies again and decided that Gu Tingzhou would give him more tutoring in the next few days.

Speaking of tutoring, Li Qingyun suddenly remembered that her original self, Li Zhaodi, had never been to school and couldn't even write her own name, so they had never communicated through letters. Whenever Gu Tingzhou had something to do, he would write to his father.

Gu Tingzhou must have known that the original body was illiterate, but he asked him to read the letter in the morning?

Was it an unintentional act or a deliberate test?

Li Qingyun was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and his hair stood on end.

As a soldier, his awareness of prevention would not be bad. Since he found out that he was wrong, why didn't he expose it at that time, and even treated him so well?

Has anything else been leaked in the past two days?

What is his intention in not exposing himself?

Li Qingyun concealed her inner nervousness and confusion, pretended to be sleepy, and lay down to sleep.

Normally, she should have fallen asleep after a tiring day, but she had no desire to sleep at all. She basically did not sleep in the first half of the night and tossed and turned on the kang.

Gu Tingzhou also asked her what was wrong in a considerate manner.

She was so scared that she said, "It's okay," and then forced herself to go to sleep quickly.

She finally fell asleep in the second half of the night, but had nightmares one after another. One moment, Gu Tingzhou was roaring at her, asking why she had to use his wife's body and asking her, a lonely ghost, to get out.

Sometimes she saw the cute faces of two children. In the dream, Erbao could speak. The two children begged her tearfully to give their mother back to them.

Then people from the village came and said that she was an unlucky person and a ghost in the mountains and wanted to burn her to death.

She was so scared that she woke up from her dream and broke out in a sweat.

"What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?" Gu Tingzhou's gentle voice came.

"Nothing, go to sleep."

Erbao's crying sounded at the right time. She quickly picked him up to comfort him and gave him some milk to drink, thus interrupting this inappropriate conversation.

Erbao fell asleep again, and she was no longer sleepy. As the sky was getting light, she was ready to get up.

It has been hot these days, so I watered my private plot, washed and hung out the clothes and diapers from the previous day before starting to cook breakfast.

Force yourself to be busy so that you don’t think too much.

For breakfast, steam a pot of corn and white flour steamed bread, cook a pot of barley porridge, and have an egg per person, which is enough.
