Lu Jiaxin said: "Aunt, you forgot that I know Kung Fu. No one can bully me."
I have also encountered discrimination when I was studying and working in Huadu, but it happens in every country. As long as you are not weak and dare to fight back, they will not dare to bully you again.
When Gu Xiuxiu heard this, a smile appeared on her face.
Lu Jiaxin warned Gu Haifan: "If someone dares to hit you at school, just hit them back. Don't be afraid. If anything happens, you have your aunt!"
Gu Xiuxiu smiled: "Hai Fan, your cousin is right, if someone dares to bully you, just fight back. As long as they don't kill you, your aunt can handle it."
Originally, she wanted to send Gu Haifan to an aristocratic elementary school, but Lu Jiaxin's words at the time made her change her mind, and she also sent Gu Haifan to a public school.
After a few words, Lu Jiaxin entered the school. She was a transfer student and was assigned to Class 7 (9). When she found the class, most of the people were already sitting in the classroom.
A sweet-looking girl saw Lu Jiaxin and took the initiative to say, "Classmate, you are a new transfer student, right? " "Yes, classmate, do you know which seat is vacant here?"
The female student smiled and pointed to the back and said, "There's no one sitting in the last row. Find a seat first. The teacher will make new ones later."
"Thanks."
Lu Jiaxin sat down in the last row and noticed that many people were looking at her, but she didn't care. She took out an English book from her bag and started reading.
About twenty minutes later, a thin middle-aged man wearing glasses came in. He knocked on the table and shouted for silence, and the classroom suddenly fell silent.
The middle-aged man introduced himself first: "My name is Mo Hongwei, I am your English teacher and also your homeroom teacher. You are in Form 7 this year and will take the Certificate of Education Examination next year. I hope you can study hard in the coming year and go to the university of your choice."
After the opening remarks, Mo Hongwei asked the students to introduce themselves, starting with the class leaders. He had just arrived and had to recognize their faces to facilitate future management.
Lu Jiaxin noticed that the sweet-looking girl was called Dong Jiajia. She was the last one to stand up and introduced herself in Cantonese: "My name is Lu Jiaxin, Lu for Army, Jia for family, Xin for warmth, I am good at painting and I like playing badminton."
Hearing her accent, Mo Hongwei asked, "Are you from the mainland?"
Lu Jiaxin did not shy away from answering, "Yes, I came from the mainland in July. I took the entrance exam, and only music was good, all other subjects were excellent."
Some teachers look down on poor students, and when necessary, you have to show your own achievements to avoid being targeted. Although I am not afraid, it is a waste of time.
Compulsory education in Hong Kong is 12 years, 3 years of pre-school education, 6 years of primary education, and 3 years of junior high school. In other words, you must go to Form 3. If you don't go, the government will intervene. Form 4 and Form 5 are also free, but you are not forced to go. At the end of Form 5, you will take the Certificate of Education Examination. If you pass, you will be promoted to a preparatory course. Form 6 and Form 7 are called preparatory courses and are an extension of high school. At the end of Form 7, you will take the Advanced Certificate of Education Examination and be qualified to go to university.
It is easy to get promoted from Form 4, as long as you work hard; Form 5 is more difficult and will eliminate a large number of students. However, for Form 7 Advanced Level Examination, many students do not necessarily apply for universities in Hong Kong, but can apply for many universities abroad.
After the students finished introducing themselves, Dong Hongwei adjusted the seats. Lu Jiaxin was arranged to sit with a girl with long bangs and many pimples on her face. The girl looked a little gloomy.
Form 7 students are very valuable, and the class started in the second period. The teacher spoke very quickly, and Lu Jiaxin's hands were a little sore from writing, but she basically remembered the key points.
After class, my deskmate said expressionlessly, "Move aside, I need to go to the bathroom."
Lu Jiaxin also wanted to go to the bathroom, so she went with her. When they got outside the classroom, she asked the girl's name: "I'm sorry, there were too many people just now and I didn't remember your name."
Soon it was time to leave school. When the teacher heard the bell, he packed up and left without delaying the class. There were no morning and evening self-study sessions in the junior and senior high schools in Hong Kong. The lunch break was not long, just one hour. The school had a cafeteria, and students could eat in the cafeteria or bring their own meals. Some students from wealthy families who did not want to go to the cafeteria or eat lunch boxes would ask their servants to deliver them.
The aunt hired by Lu Jiaxin will arrive tomorrow, but someone has been arranged to clean the room.
When she arrived at the cafeteria, Lu Jiaxin found that the food was quite rich and the price was very affordable. She ordered a meat dish, a vegetable dish and a soup, which were pan-fried pork, stir-fried choy sum and braised duck.
The food in the cafeteria tasted pretty good. The Hong Kong City government did a good job in this area. After eating, I didn't go back to the classroom immediately, but walked around the school before going in.
When I was walking back to the classroom, I ran into Dong Jiajia, who had sent me food from home. Dong Jiajia smiled and asked, "I heard that English teaching hasn't started in the mainland yet. Are you used to it?"
She knew quite a lot. Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "My English is OK. I can keep up."
Dong Jiajia walked up to her and said in a low voice, "You have to be careful about your deskmate. If you offend her, you won't be able to stay in this school anymore."
"Why?"
Seeing someone walking towards them, Dong Jiajia immediately changed the subject: "What brand is your watch? It's pretty nice."
Lu Jiaxin did not keep a low profile and said, "It's from Omega, 16,000 yuan. My aunt gave it to me as a school enrollment gift."
The school's financial resources are appropriately displayed, and there will be no melodramatic plots like those in TV or novels where students are slandered for stealing money or things. Although Huaying Middle School is not a famous school, there are many schools with good conditions here.
As soon as school was over, Lu Jiaxin packed up and left. When she reached the school gate, she was caught up by Dong Jiajia. She looked around and said, "Last year, a classmate in my class offended her and she made him drop out of school."
"What's her background?"
Dong Jiajia said: "Her elder sister used to be a street prostitute, and later followed a gang leader who had many younger brothers under her. Cui Zhihui could order those people around."
The so-called streetwalkers are actually sex workers. She immediately understood why Choi Ji-hye always kept her head down and looked a little gloomy. If the elder sister was doing this and the news spread, she would definitely be looked down upon.
"Where are her parents? Don't they have jobs?"
"Her father is a tax collector, and her mother works in the police department..."
Before she could finish, Lu Jiaxin asked in surprise, "Her father is a tax officer and her mother is a police officer. How come her sister became a streetwalker and is with a gang member?"
Dong Jiajia curled her lips and said, "His father got addicted to gambling four years ago, and he was arrested for embezzling public funds because he couldn't pay back the money. Her mother divorced her father soon after, and remarried with her youngest brother. She can go to school now, and it's all supported by her eldest sister. You have to be careful when you sit with her, don't let her make you drop out of school."
Lu Jiaxin believed that seeing is believing, but she still thanked him.
