Chapter 64
When Ning Lan used her last bit of strength to look outside the house, she saw Meng Jinyu and Gu Zhimin.
The two of them walked into the Ning family together and quickly moved away all the debris blocking the door, all in one go.
Then Ning Lan handed the wooden board to them.
The water in the house was not too deep, but it was much more comfortable with the help of wooden boards. At least the cold water would no longer choke the Ning family members with waves of impact.
The moment she saw Meng Jinyu and Gu Zhimin, Ning Lan cried and thanked them. She said she thought she would never be able to walk out of this place alive.
Seeing this scene, Meng Jinyu felt sad.
She couldn't help but think of Youyou's dream.
At that time, in that dream, how painful and desperate must Ning Lan be, and how she struggled and died in the end?
Somehow, Meng Jinyu felt that perhaps everything was developing according to a certain trajectory, otherwise Ning Lan would not be unable to go to her house due to poor health, and Ning Lan's parents would not suddenly become so stubborn and refuse to believe that floods might occur in winter, so they stayed at home and watched the heavy rain wash over the entire village.
But fortunately, man can conquer nature.
Now, they have finally rescued the Ning family. The tragedy of the previous life will not happen again, and the predictive dream has also been overturned.
That scene in my memory is so long ago.
This time, it was not until she arrived at Fenglin Village that Meng Jinyu recalled more deeply how terrible the disaster was.
Fortunately, Gu Zhimin also came along, otherwise, she would not be able to rescue the Ning family by herself.
At this time, Gu Zhimin and Meng Jinyu tried to find a way to take Ning Lan away from the Ning family, while Ning's father and mother, with red eyes, supported each other and walked out of the house where they had lived for decades.
There were so many houses in the village, but it was obvious that theirs was the worst hit.
I'm afraid this house can't be saved.
But as Meng Jinyu said, human life is more important than anything else.
The Ning family was transferred to an abandoned temple, a relatively safe place, and many villagers were arranged to stay here.
At this moment, seeing the Ning family, everyone was stunned. After thinking about it again, they all felt scared.
Village Chief Li said, "How come I didn't notice it? There are too many people left here, and we didn't bring the roll call book from the production team leader. If anyone is left behind in the village and something happens, it will be my responsibility!"
He Qingmiao also nodded: "We didn't think so much at the time. We should have forced everyone to leave the house. We were indeed careless and didn't expect the flood to be so serious. Thanks to Comrade Jin Yu and Gu."
At Meng Jinyu's reminder, several village cadres called the villagers at dawn and took protective measures in advance.
Losses are inevitable and can only be reduced as much as possible. The most important thing now is the safety of the villagers.
Village Chief Li sighed softly.
He Qingmiao said: "Village Chief Li, don't worry, your daughter-in-law will be safe."
The village chief's wife frowned, "It's raining so hard outside, and the roads are slippery. It would be terrible if something happened. Where on earth did Weiwei go?"
Meng Jinyu was a little surprised.
Xu Weiwei went home early in the morning. Didn’t she tell her parents-in-law?
That's right, although her relationship with her in-laws has improved slightly during this period, it is not yet to the point where she has to report her whereabouts all the time.
"Village Chief Li, Aunt Liu, Weiwei is at my house. Many villagers are at my house. It rained so hard today that the last bus came when I left. If the bus stops, they can't come back, so they will rest at my house first."
When the Li family heard this, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief and began to thank Meng Jinyu again.
Meng Jinyu was finally able to sit down and have a good rest.
After she sat down, she pointed to the empty seat next to her and said to Gu Zhimin, "Comrade Gu, you should also take a rest. You have worked hard."
Gu Zhimin nodded, sat down, and asked again: "Comrades in the village, besides the ones at Comrade Meng's house, are there any others trapped at home who haven't arrived yet?"
Meng Jinyu immediately knew what Gu Zhimin was talking about and added, "Everyone, look, have the family members or comrades living next door come? The rain is too heavy, and the houses may collapse. If someone is trapped in the house, it will be very dangerous."
Everyone stood up quickly and looked around.
"All four adults and two children from our family are here."
"My sister-in-law went to visit Jin Yu's family, so there were seven of us left at home. We had already brought food and hid here when the rain was not so heavy in the afternoon."
"All our family members are here."
Meng Jinyu looked around and glanced at the Jiang family.
Old Mrs. Jiang wrapped her precious granddaughter in several layers of cotton-padded jackets. The child's face turned red from the heat, but she held her granddaughter tightly in her arms and refused to let go.
Jiang Lao Da and Jiang Lao Er were sitting next to their wives and children.
Li Guimei also came, but she was frightened when she saw the older girl. She avoided her gaze and did not dare to meet her eyes.
"It seems that the third brother and his wife went to the supply and marketing cooperative. I heard him mention it before he left in the afternoon." Zhu Dali said.
Meng Jinyu didn't want to have too much involvement with the Jiang family, so she responded. However, the moment she looked away, she suddenly frowned.
"Where's Niu Niu?" she asked.
Wang Xiaofen looked suspicious and asked, "Didn't Niuniu go to your house to play?"
Meng Jinyu's face suddenly darkened, and she turned to Gu Zhimin and said seriously: "There may be another child in the village!"
The two men didn't say anything, they immediately stood up and ran out.
Meng Jinyu quickened her pace, feeling uneasy.
The awakened consciousness is always so incomplete. Now she racked her brains but couldn't remember what Niu Niu in her previous life looked like when she grew up.
Could it be that besides Ning Lan, this child was also killed in the flood?
Looking at their backs, Wang Xiaofen muttered, "What does that mean? Niuniu is still at home?"
Several children immediately said that before noon, they were still playing with Niu Niu in the village and had never heard that she was going to the city.
Wang Xiaofen's eldest son said, "Before I left, I seemed to see Niuniu sleeping in the room."
"Then why don't you say it?" Wang Xiaofen's eyes widened.
The Jiang family also became anxious, and Jiang Jianming hesitated whether to rush home to look for his child.
Without even a second thought, Wang Xiaofen grabbed her man and said, "The situation outside is so dangerous, everyone is hiding, you should go back and look for her! The soldiers are here, he will rescue Niuniu, don't worry."
He Qingmiao shouted in a low voice: "Wang Xiaofen, you are really too much! Don't you know where your daughter is? Every family in the village likes boys. Boys are treasures, and girls are the weeds of the family. I can't control these things. It's difficult to control them. But you are the only one who doesn't care about the life and death of a girl!"
Niu Niu is so young, how could she possibly go to the city by herself?
Seeing Wang Xiaofen's complacent expression, many villagers frowned and criticized her for being a bad person.
Several village cadres criticized with stern faces, saying that the matter could not be let go and must be dealt with seriously.
At the same time, everyone was feeling uneasy.
There are three adults living in the Ning family, and they almost had an accident. Niu Niu is a skinny child, left alone at home, so she might have died a long time ago.
…
Ruan Wenwen was getting a little impatient.
She didn't expect that at this critical moment, Jiang Huanming was still concerned about the safety of the Ning family.
What does the life or death of the Ning family have to do with him?
The disaster came suddenly, and the entire commune had not prepared any response measures in advance. As long as she and Jiang Huanming could go to the supply and marketing cooperative at the most critical moment and save the goods in the warehouse, the leaders would be very grateful. With this great contribution, Jiang Huanming would no longer be a invisible person in the unit.
To put it bluntly, she didn't want Ning Lan to be alive.
Isn’t it just about getting into college? Being so happy, don’t the Ning family members know how blinding their joy is?
"You are capable, but you just lack some luck. What happened last year caused you to be ostracized by so many people in the company. Can't I see it? Huanming, I saw it all, and I feel bad for you." Ruan Wenwen was almost unable to open her eyes due to the rain, but she still managed to hold her temper and said in a gentle voice, "As long as you do this well, the leaders will start to value you again. By then, your future will be limitless. Huanming, for you, for me, and for our daughter, don't you want to develop your career well?"
Nowadays, few people talk about the word "career" all the time.
Ruan Wenwen was really impatient, so she tried to persuade him earnestly.
What's more, now that Meng Jinyu and Gu Zhimin are here, the safety of the Ning family is guaranteed, so what is he still hesitating about?
Jiang Huanming froze in place, not knowing whether to move forward or backward.
His mood suddenly became complicated.
For a whole year, he endured suffering that he could not describe to anyone else.
In the past, he was the only high school student in Fenglin Village and the only formal employee working in a state-owned enterprise, but what about now?
He became a rat crossing the street, hated by everyone. His former dignity and pride had long since disappeared.
Doesn't he want to return to his former glory?
Jiang Huanming clenched his teeth and was about to set off for the commune, but at this moment, a faint cry was heard.
The crying was very light, not a cry for help. It was like a wounded and desperate kitten licking its wounds quietly.
"There's someone else at home. It's Niu Niu's voice." Jiang Huanming came back to his senses, turned around again, and ran towards the Jiang family.
Ruan Wenwen never expected that the man she had carefully chosen would be so indecisive.
She gritted her teeth in anger and decided not to stop it.
She is going to the supply and marketing cooperative, alone!
When Ruan Wenwen ran towards the village entrance, she happened to pass by Meng Jinyu halfway.
Two people who looked almost identical were running in completely different directions, as if their fate had been decided from the very beginning.
With a scream, Meng Jinyu's right foot stepped into empty air.
Gu Zhimin quickly raised his hand to support her: "Are you okay?"
"It's okay, let's go to the Jiang family quickly." Meng Jinyu shook her head.
Gu Zhimin half-supported her, and the two of them ran towards the Jiang family.
Looking at this scene, Ruan Wenwen's eyes darkened.
She had heard about Gu Zhimin. Meng Jinyu was so lucky that after her divorce, she was able to hook up with such a high-quality man thanks to Youyou.
Looking back at herself, after she got together with Jiang Huanming, she had to do everything for him and serve him like a master.
He never protected her, as if her sacrifice was all natural.
However, now is not the time to think about this.
She has to go to the supply and marketing cooperative first.
Only when Jiang Huanming climbs up step by step in the unit can his career develop slowly along the trajectory of his previous life.
…
Niu Niu hugged her arms, buried her little face in her knees, and cried softly.
She didn't dare open her eyes to look at the ground. The flood was pouring in. The water on the ground was getting deeper and deeper. As a result, the chest of drawers began to shake.
It must be painful to fall from such a height.
Niu Niu was very scared, her little shoulders were trembling and her face turned pale.
Generally speaking, children are always dependent on their parents, especially a child as young as her. When encountering danger, what she would think in her heart is that it would be great if her parents could come to save her.
But Niu Niu knew that her parents would never come to save her.
After all, as they say, she's just a money loser.
Niu Niu lowered her eyes and began to cry softly.
Although she didn't have enough to eat or wear warm clothes every day and had to do housework, she really wanted to live.
She wanted to go to school like Youyou, and when she grew up, take the college entrance examination like her educated youth brothers and sisters, and go to see more distant places.
"Niuniu—is that you?"
Suddenly, a low voice was heard.
Niu Niu looked up in disbelief.
There was no light in the room, it was pitch black, and she could vaguely see the man's figure.
Although she couldn't see clearly, she recognized his voice.
"Uncle?" The child's voice was very soft, crying, and trembling.
The next moment, Niu Niu opened her eyes wide and watched Jiang Huanming walk in with tears streaming down his face.
Her eyes seemed to light up in an instant, and the hope of life was right before her!
"Stretch out your hand, uncle will carry you down." Jiang Huanming stretched out his hand and said.
Niu Niu nodded immediately, and she obediently stretched out her little hand, trying to reach Jiang Huanming's hand.
But the chest of drawers is too high.
She couldn't reach her uncle's hand, and became more and more anxious, so she tried her best to lie down.
The room was too dark for Jiang Huanming to see clearly, and the water on the ground was quite deep. If they tried to climb up the wooden ladder, both the big and the small would probably fall down.
Both of them were sweating from anxiety.
Just when Jiang Huanming didn't know what to do, a ray of light fell in.
Gu Zhimin strode in, and Meng Jinyu held a flashlight to illuminate the room for him.
"Jump down." Gu Zhimin stood in front of the chest of drawers, glanced at the surroundings, and opened his arms.
Niu Niu is afraid, but she never causes trouble for adults.
So the little guy stood up slowly with trembling legs.
It’s so high down there.
If you fall, you will definitely get hurt.
"Don't be afraid, I'll catch you." Gu Zhimin said again.
Meng Jinyu saw the child's timidity.
This is normal. After all, asking such a young child to jump from a high place is really asking too much.
Not to mention others, even Youyou, who is fearless in her family, may not be able to do it.
"Niuniu, this is a PLA uncle. He will definitely protect you." Meng Jinyu said patiently.
Niu Niu bit her lip and finally managed to stand steady.
Jiang Huanming felt unhappy when he saw the two people who suddenly rushed in.
What happened to the PLA uncle?
He is no weaker than the PLA uncles!
"Niuniu, jump towards your uncle!" Jiang Huanming also opened his arms and said.
Niu Niu looked at Jiang Huanming and then at Gu Zhimin.
Finally, she agreed in a soft voice: "Okay."
Jiang Huanming raised his eyebrows, glanced at Gu Zhimin, and confidently prepared to catch Niu Niu.
But who would have known that the next moment, a small, thin figure flashed by in the peripheral vision.
Niu Niu mustered up her courage, shrank her neck, and jumped towards the PLA uncle.
Gu Zhimin caught Niu Niu steadily without hesitation.
Jiang Huanming: ...
This little girl doesn't trust herself?
…
The flood is finally over.
The entire commune, including five or six villages within Fenglin Village, suffered losses to varying degrees.
In comparison, Fenglin Village suffered the least losses.
After taking inventory, Village Chief Li compared the situation with that of other villages and felt deeply moved.
"There are so many people in our village, but not a single casualty!"
"Although the houses and ridges were more or less damaged, and the Ning family's house was even washed away, but no one was hurt, which is a blessing."
"This winter flood is so rare that other villages were caught off guard. Only our village escaped the disaster because of Jin Yu's reminder."
After some discussion, the village cadres decided that after completing the reconstruction of the village, Village Chief Li would take the lead in sending a letter of thanks to the Chunyu Garment Factory.
The one who should be thanked is naturally Meng Jinyu.
Today's state-owned units still attach great importance to personal honor, which is equivalent to collective honor. I believe that once this letter is sent, the unit leaders will definitely commend Meng Jinyu, which should be what she needs.
At the same time, the village cadres also gave Wang Xiaofen and Jiang Jianming a severe reprimand because of Niu Niu's incident.
Last time in the old temple, Jiang Jianming was scolded so much that his face turned red and he was too embarrassed to even raise his head. After returning home, he had a big fight with his wife. But a few days later, he was called to the stage at a village meeting and once again experienced the villagers' pointing and criticizing.
Jiang Jianming was scolded like a grandson. He nodded continuously and just said that he understood and would never make the same mistake again.
Wang Xiaofen has been married to Fenglin Village for such a long time, and she has acted like a demon so many times before. Who in the whole village doesn't know what kind of person she is?
Therefore, even when she was pulled onto the stage to be criticized, she remained calm and fearless.
The worst that could happen is that she'd get scolded. Even if the villagers wanted to laugh at her, it would only be for a while. It's not like she'd lose a piece of meat!
But who would have known that the village cadres had long known that her face was thicker than the city wall, so instead of asking her to reflect on her mistakes, they punished her directly.
"We will deduct 16 work points from you this month," said He Qingmiao, the head of the Women's Federation. "And from now on, you will be responsible for cleaning the pig pens in the village."
Wang Xiaofen was now visibly panicking.
She opened her eyes wide and begged the village cadres to give her another chance, but who knew that the village cadres had already made up their minds and gave her this difficult task.
What do sixteen work points represent? It represents food!
Also, cleaning the pigpen, it must be so smelly!
Normally, this task was done by the team members who made mistakes in the production team, and they took turns to do it. But now, this kind of work fell on her alone!
Wang Xiaofen was unwilling to give in.
She didn't make any mistakes in principle, why treat her like this?
The village cadres are now extending their hands further and further, even reaching out to her home and meddling in her family affairs!
She was so angry that she gritted her teeth and decided to give Niuniu a good beating when she got home.
But soon, she dismissed the idea.
"The director of the Women's Federation will keep your family's affairs in mind and will ask Niu Niu and other children in the family about the situation from time to time. If we find out that the children have been wronged at home again, then from now on, all the cleaning work of the pigpen will be your responsibility," said Village Chief Li.
Wang Xiaofen was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood.
The village chief meant that as long as she could be nicer to Niu Niu, she could return to work in the fields as normal.
"We understand. We will not be so partial in the future. Please ask the village cadres to supervise us." Jiang Jianming said immediately.
Wang Xiaofen also came back to her senses and nodded rapidly.
This gave the villagers a sigh of relief.
Everyone estimated that Niu Niu's life would be better from now on.
After the villagers' meeting, everyone went to the production team to get farm tools and returned to work.
On the other side, Jiang Huanming also received good news.
Because Ruan Wenwen has made great contributions in protecting the materials of the supply and marketing cooperative, he will be promoted to director of the supply and marketing cooperative.
When he received the news, Jiang Huanming was a little confused.
Colleagues came forward to congratulate him, saying that he had finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel, as if they were not the ones who had previously conspired to exclude him.
Jiang Huanming returned home and was met with Ruan Wenwen's gentle smile.
"I protected the supplies that day, and the next morning, the leaders came. I said that when the flood came, we stayed together in the supply and marketing cooperative, but you went home to change clothes at dawn."
"Lin and Jiang will start school in February next year. They are already packing up their house and will move back to the city with their children. Your business at the supply and marketing cooperative is booming now, so the village chief will definitely give their house to us."
Looking at her excited expression, Jiang Huanming did not feel any better.
Being promoted to the director of the supply and marketing cooperative was a good thing for him, but somehow, he always felt uncomfortable when facing Ruan Wenwen.
These days, he could always remember her determined yet indifferent expression when she dragged him to the commune when the Ning family asked for help.
Those are three lives...
He suddenly doubted whether he could really spend his whole life with such a person.
Ruan Wenwen didn’t know what Jiang Huanming was thinking, but she was already extremely excited thinking about the wonderful life in the future.
Soon, their three rooms will be separated.
By then, life will slowly get better day by day!
…
Youyou knew that Brother Gu Qi and his family were leaving Jiangcheng, but she didn't expect that this day would come so soon.
In more than a month, the little dumpling has felt the bitterness of separation twice. He pursed his little lips, feeling aggrieved.
"Brother Gu Qi, can't we wait until after the Chinese New Year to leave? During the Chinese New Year, my mother will prepare a lot of delicious dishes, and you, Uncle Gu, and Grandpa Gu can all come to our house for dinner!"
Gu Qi shook his head helplessly: "My father said that the transfer notice after demobilization has come down. The Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau has urged him several times and hopes that he will take office as soon as possible."
Old Man Gu rubbed Youyou's head and said, "Our family has to spend the New Year in Beijing this time. If Youyou is willing, you can come to Beijing with your mother and visit our home."
As soon as the transfer notice came, their family had to leave Jiangcheng without delay. Although Mr. Gu was reluctant to leave the city where he had lived for decades, on the other hand, he was glad.
After Gu Zhimin divorced Liu Anqin, her emotions have been unstable. She has come to pester Zhou Xin several times without his knowledge.
After all, Liu Anqin is Gu Qi's biological mother. If things get too awkward, she will become a burden to Gu Qi in the future. Therefore, Mr. Gu doesn't want her to lose her job or get divorced.
The old man's greatest hope is that she lives a good life and never disturbs the Gu family again.
"Is it far from Jiangcheng to Jingshi?" Youyou asked.
Gu Qi said softly, "Very far away."
Youyou tilted her head, spread her arms, and gestured a distance: "Is it that far?"
Gu Qi also spread out his slightly longer arms: "Maybe it's this far."
"Ah——" The little dumpling hung his head in disappointment.
Mr. Gu was amused by Youyou's innocent expression.
This child is so cute, let alone Gu Qi, even he can’t bear to part with him.
He even thought countless times that it would be great if the little girl could really become his granddaughter.
Considering this, Mr. Gu couldn't help but look at Meng Jinyu and Gu Zhimin who were talking outside the house.
"During this period, whether it was the work at the Chunyu Garment Factory, the Dacron fabric, or returning to the village to rescue Ninglan's family and Niuniu, it was all thanks to your help. I wanted to thank you several times, but I never found the chance," said Meng Jinyu.
"It's just a piece of cake, and with your ability, you can get everything you have now even if I don't help you," said Gu Zhimin.
They stood in the corridor outside the house. Meng Jinyu was preparing dinner, while Gu Zhimin opened the white rice he brought and helped her.
As she spoke, a ray of sunlight from the end of the corridor fell in, making her profile look gentle and soft.
They had only met a few times.
Every time they met, Gu Zhimin got to know Meng Jinyu differently.
The first time was in the hospital. His body had not yet fully recovered. The whole family was very excited to see his father and son again. She carefully helped the old man sit up, moved stools for the two military leaders, and asked them to help make the decision. Her words were neither humble nor arrogant, but appropriate and measured.
The second time was in Fenglin Village. He saw that she lived in a cramped house, but she kept it in order. Her children were well-behaved and sensible, and the home was full of warmth.
Later, Fenglin Village suffered from flood again. She showed a strong and determined side, and repeatedly emphasized that human life is above all else, which coincided with his thoughts.
People are multifaceted and complex.
She is strong and determined, capable and decisive, but in front of children, she reveals her gentle side.
"I heard from Mr. Gu that your family will be moving to Beijing soon." Meng Jinyu said with a smile, "Congratulations, and I wish you all the best in the future."
Meng Jinyu's words reminded Gu Zhimin.
Their whole family will be leaving soon.
He hesitated for a moment and said, "I hope we can meet again in the future."
Meng Jinyu was slightly startled and looked into those bottomless eyes.
"I will." She came back to her senses and smiled, "See you in Jing City."
…
After Gu Qi left Jiangcheng, Youyou was listless for several days.
It was only when Jiang Cheng and Jiang Guo came to the city to stay for a while and play with her that little Tuanzi felt better.
"Sister, how have you and brother been doing lately?" Youyou asked softly.
Shanshan also asked: "Have my brothers and sisters been bullied?"
Shanshan couldn't help shivering whenever he thought of his stepmother. Although he was young, he still remembered that his stepmother deliberately got him lost, which almost prevented him from returning home.
Jiang Guo immediately said in high spirits: "Our stepmother never had the chance to bully us. She quarreled with our father every day. The two of them quarreled so much that the whole house was in chaos. Even grandma asked them to move out immediately."
"Move out?" Youyou blinked, "What about their little baby?"
"Grandma said that they can move out, but the clown doll must stay at home." Jiang Cheng said, "It's a pity that they don't have the chance to move out even if they want to."
Ruan Wenwen urged Jiang Huanming every day to apply to the village chief for the vacant houses of Lin and Jiang Zhiqing next to the Zhiqing site.
Jiang Huanming was forced to go, but he was turned back as soon as he arrived at the village committee.
It turned out that the Ning family's house was destroyed in the flood, and the village chief directly asked their family to move into the house left behind by the educated youth couple.
"Sister Ning Lan was admitted to Jingshi University. This is so glorious! The village chief said that we should take good care of the parents of college students, so let them live comfortably." Jiang Guo said with a smile, "It turns out that being a college student has so many advantages!"
Of course, in addition to taking care of the rare college student’s family, the village cadres also have to take care of the director of the supply and marketing cooperative.
Therefore, the village chief promised that once the Ning family’s original house was completed, Jiang Huanming and Ruan Wenwen would be able to move in temporarily.
But how long will it take?
"Forget about them." Jiang Guo waved his hand and said to Youyou and Shanshan, "I have another piece of news for you. We have recently gained a new brother."
"It's my little sister." Jiang Cheng corrected her.
Youyou was very curious: "Who is it?"
Jiang Guo was mysterious and asked her to guess.
"I guess it's Niuniu." Meng Jinyu smiled and brought the food into the house and put it on the table.
Jiang Guo smiled happily.
She and Jiang Chengdu heard about what happened to Niu Niu that day.
After all, she is their cousin, and as her brother and sister, they can't bear to see her suffer.
So, Jiang Cheng and Jiang Guo started to play with her.
Although Jiang Guo couldn't stand Niu Niu's weakness sometimes, this little girl was very obedient after all, so it was good to have such a little follower.
"That's great! There will be someone to protect Niu Niu from now on." Youyou said happily.
"Then I'm not that free." Jiang Guo said, "She has to protect herself."
Meng Jinyu laughed.
This Jiang Guo is a person who is tough on the outside but soft on the inside.
…
The thank-you letter sent by the village cadres of Fenglin Village actually reached the hands of the leaders of Chunyu Garment Factory.
As they expected, the leader praised Meng Jinyu's behavior. Because of this good impression, he asked Shen Yuqing to give her more opportunities so that she could integrate into the garment group as soon as possible. The comrades in the group encouraged each other to make progress.
Working with Shen Yuqing is very worry-free.
She never beats around the bush when speaking and never hides her real abilities. Meng Jinyu learned a lot from her.
Everything is on track. The Chinese New Year is approaching. In addition to work every day, Meng Jinyu also has to think about how to spend this year's Spring Festival.
At the same time, little Youyou, who moved into the city with her mother, fell into endless confusion.
First, she felt that the children in her class were not friendly to her.
These children are different from those in the commune primary school. They wear delicate clothes and have fair skin. When school is over, their parents come to pick them up on bicycles. When they sit on the back of the bicycle to go home, they still hold candied haws in their hands and look at Youyou with arrogant eyes, with their noses turned up to the sky.
Youyou was confused at first, but when she came to her senses, she realized that they disliked her because she was a country kid.
Youyou was unhappy about this. We were all children. Was there a need to differentiate between city children and rural children?
After realizing this, Youyou sat in the classroom, feeling angry.
However, she is not the type of person who is willing to let herself be wronged.
Little Tuanzi has to handle this matter well!
However, compared to being isolated, there was another thing that shocked Youyou even more.
She discovered a shocking secret.
That is——
The contents of the textbooks she is studying now are all what she has learned in the commune primary school!
Youyou felt something was wrong and ran to the homeroom teacher's office: "Teacher Jin, why am I learning the content of the first-grade textbook? I'm already in the second grade!"
Looking at this fierce little ball, Teacher Jin couldn't help laughing.
She inquired about the situation carefully and realized that until now, Youyou didn't know that she was in the first grade after arriving at Jiangcheng Primary School.
At that time, Meng Jinyu came to complete the enrollment procedures for the children, filled out the information, and clearly wrote that the children were in the second and third grades of the commune primary school.
However, the standards of Jiangcheng Primary School are definitely different from those of the commune primary school.
First of all, they found it particularly strange that last year a five-year-old and a three-year-old could go to elementary school.
The comrades in the admissions office had originally planned to send the brother and sister to daycare, but it was Meng Jinyu who brought the test papers of the two children that made them temporarily give up this idea.
However, agreeing to enroll students is one thing, but allowing them to directly transfer to the second or third grade is absolutely impossible, which is equivalent to making an exception.
"Youyou, you are in the first grade now. Your younger brother is in another class in the first grade. Didn't he tell you about it when he goes home?" Teacher Jin asked curiously.
Youyou tilted her head.
No, her brother studies very hard every day and enjoys learning. He never tells her that she is in the first grade.
"I think your mother was afraid that you would be unhappy, so she didn't mention your current grade."
"Because it is the second half of the school year, we don't know your and your brother's level, so we will temporarily let you enter the first grade. Of course, if you can get excellent results in the exam at the end of the semester, the school will definitely reconsider the class arrangement."
"It's not your fault. We haven't had time to make the signboards for our grade levels yet. Now there are only words like Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3, but no Grade 1. We still have to notify the logistics department to make the class signs as soon as possible to avoid misunderstandings."
Teacher Jin's words entered Youyou's left ear and exited her right ear.
She couldn't digest so much information at the moment, and her little head was rumbling.
Did she fail a grade?
Repeated a grade!
Woo woo woo.
