As soon as the words left her mouth, Teacher Zhou regretted them.
When Yun Dazheng came to the school yesterday, he already knew very well that the other party was just an ordinary farmer who had made some money by beekeeping and was thinking of sending his granddaughter to school to study for a few years and learn some culture.
A farmer's child is still a farmer; it's already quite remarkable that he can count fluently from one to one hundred.
Unlike the children in town, who follow their parents and watch them buy and sell things, thus learning some basic arithmetic.
To everyone's surprise, just as Teacher Zhou was secretly regretting her decision, Yun Duo simply replied with two words: "Yes."
Yun Dazheng chimed in, saying, "Yes, teacher. When we go to sell things at home, my granddaughter often does the accounting. She's faster than this old man."
Thinking that the other party wanted to sell honey or something, Teacher Zhou felt it made sense. She realized she had been naive before, and her interest was piqued again. Sure enough, she gave Yun Duo some simple arithmetic problems to test her. From simple single-digit addition and subtraction to multiplication and division of tens digits, Yun Duo actually answered them all correctly. But when it came to anything more complex, Yun Duo pretended not to know. Even so, Teacher Zhou was pleasantly surprised, feeling like she had struck gold.
At the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful that Yun Duo was just a little girl.
Although it's said that new policies are being implemented and Western culture is being learned, it's ultimately just superficial. It's mostly just slogans that don't translate into concrete actions.
Teacher Zhou understands this very well.
But who cares? Let's keep this student for now. What if things change in a few years?
Teacher Zhou thought with great anticipation.
While thinking it over, he wrote a note and asked Yun Dazheng to pay the tuition, which was considered as accepting Yun Duo as his student.
After Yun Dazheng went to pay the fees, Teacher Zhou said to Yun Duo, "Yun Duo, you are the only girl student in our Chang Le Elementary School this year. Boys are naughty. If anyone bullies you, remember to tell the teacher, and the teacher will punish them." She smiled and continued, "My surname is Zhou, and you can call me Teacher Zhou. From now on, I will be your first-grade math teacher and homeroom teacher."
"Yes, thank you, Teacher Zhou," Yun Duo said obediently.
Teacher Zhou smiled and said, "It's alright, just study hard from now on." After Yun Dazheng brought back the payment slip, Teacher Zhou completed the enrollment procedures for Yun Duo.
After completing the enrollment procedures, Yun Da carefully kept the receipt close to his body before taking Yun Duo to the school cafeteria, which he had scouted out the day before.
It's not really a cafeteria; it's just a small restaurant next to the school, divided into two parts. The front, facing the street, is open as usual, catering to customers from outside the school. The back, closer to the school, has a small entrance for student meal orders.
The meal plan costs 1.2 yuan per week. If you order monthly, a month is considered four weeks. They don't sell individual meals; you can only pre-order. The meals are all-you-can-eat, but you can't take them away. The owner also guarantees that the meals are freshly made every day, and there's a meat dish once a week.
Yun Dazheng paid for a month's tuition at once and received a tag with his name, age, and gender written on it. After school started, Yun Duo could use this tag to eat here. Yun Duo was not happy to share bowls and chopsticks with others, so she specifically asked the owner and learned that she could bring her own. She then begged Yun Dazheng to take her to buy a tin lunchbox.
