In mid-August, the school here was about to start. Shen Anning took his younger brother and sister to Gengjiatun to visit the village chief's grandson Guoqing. He would be in the second grade when school started again this year. Shen Anning wanted him to help take the twins to familiarize themselves with the environment.
On August 20th, Shen Anning brought her younger brother and sister to Duanjia Brigade. There were three primary schools in the entire commune, and the closest one to them was the one in Duanjia Brigade. It took about half an hour to walk there, so it was not far.
Because the principal wanted Shen Anyu and Shen Anxuan to go directly to the second grade, he also gave them two test papers. The twins who lived under the torture of their older sister lived up to everyone's expectations and got 100 points in both tests.
The principal walked out of the door with the test paper in his hand, the smile on his face never stopped, and he spoke compliments as if they were free, "Oh, Shen Zhiqing, your brother and sister are amazing, they are good students, you must cultivate them well in the future."
Shen Anning was very happy to hear the words praising her younger brothers and sisters, "I will have to trouble the principal and the teachers in the school in the future. I will definitely be relieved to hand them over to you." Although she knew that the teachers in the school were just educated youth who went to the countryside or junior high school and high school graduates in the village, she still had to say some polite words.
The textbooks in Northeast China are different from those in Beijing, so the two of them have to buy new ones. The textbook fee plus tuition and miscellaneous fees is two yuan and forty cents per semester per person. Shen Anning passed her army green backpack to Shen Anxuan to use for the twins to carry their books. Several children were extremely envious, but there was nothing they could do. Although she had the army green fabric, she couldn't take it out openly.
School officially started on the 21st, and Shen An Ning put their training on the schedule. Classes started at 7:30, and Shen An Ning required the two of them to get up at 6 o'clock every morning, squat in the yard for half an hour, and then eat breakfast and walk to school.
The children from the two villages went together, with the older ones taking care of the younger ones. Shen An Ning was not worried about safety issues because they only had classes half a day, from 7:30 in the morning to 12:00 noon, so there was no need to bring them lunch. They could just eat after school. They had six days of classes and one day off a week, which was really much easier than the primary school students in the 21st century.
After about two weeks, Shen Anyu felt completely accustomed to the daily exercise and began to demand a higher level of difficulty. Shen Anyu felt that as the only man in the family, he had to shoulder the responsibility. So every morning, he would get up twenty minutes early and do horse stances. After that, Shen Anning would take him for a run around the village, up and down the mountain. Because he was getting enough nutrition, Shen Anyu quickly grew a lot taller, making Shen Anxuan extremely envious. Several of his good friends in the village even begged him to follow him and ask how to get stronger.
The families of these children also came to ask Shen Anning for the secret of raising Shen Anyu so well.
Geng Yue and Aunt Dashuan were the first to arrive. Geng Yue brought her younger brother Geng Guoqing, and Aunt Dashuan brought her son Wang Wentao.
Shen Anning smiled and welcomed the person in. "Auntie, Yueyue, are you here to ask about Anyu's exercise?"
Geng Yue smiled and said, "Indeed, An Yu has changed so much in the past month. I came to ask if he has any secrets."
"Yeah, Xiao Shen, you said they were all the same length, so how come An Yu suddenly became a big boy?"
"Auntie, Yueyue, first of all, you have to make sure the child is well fed and gets enough nutrition. Go to bed early and get up early every day, and keep exercising."
"An Yu is like this. He first squatted in horse stance for half a month, and then started jogging in the morning. You know, we grew up in the army, and I followed my brothers to exercise when I was a child." Shen An Ning looked at the two people. She was telling the truth.
Aunt Dashuan was a little embarrassed. "Then how do we get nutrition?"
"Eat cornbread to fill you up, eat more vegetables, and eat an egg a day." It is the age when little boys are able to eat, and they exercise a lot in the morning. In fact, the key is to persist.
With the publicity of the two people, many people stood in Shen Anning’s courtyard that afternoon.
Seeing that several respected elders from the two villages had come, Shen Anning felt a little panicked.
"Girl An Ning, come here."
Shen Anning hurried forward and said, "Hey, uncle, you came all the way here, please sit down, Anyu, bring out some stools."
"An Ning, you know that although the harvest in the village has been good in the past two years and every household has saved some money, we all came from hard times and are used to being frugal, so we still don't want to eat too much. Please explain the nutrition you mentioned in detail."
"Okay, uncle, please speak up and I'll explain it to everyone."
"My dear uncles and aunts, I know what we're thinking. I won't say anything formal. Just look at An Yu. He's mainly grown since this month, first in height, then in physical strength. He mostly eats dry food every day. White flour buns are fine, mixed flour pancakes are also OK. Children are in the growth period. One egg a day, if that's not enough, one every now and then. Also, occasionally when I go to town, I'll buy some ribs and bones to make soup for him. Plus, he exercises every day, which is definitely good for him."
"Besides, at the beginning, the amount of exercise should not be too much. You need to make up for the body's deficiencies first and nourish it. If the aunts and uncles are willing, let the child come over to eat starting tomorrow morning. First, with An Xuan, squat in front of the infirmary door."
After a lot of effort, the villagers were finally sent away. Shen Anning looked at Shen Anyu and patted his shoulder. The young man will be busy in the future.
There were quite a few young boys from the two villages. Shen Anning saw several who were already in the fourth and fifth grades coming here to exercise. Anyway, every one who came counted as one. There was enough space at the entrance of the infirmary, so she accepted them all.
We do horse stance for half an hour in the morning, then go home to eat and come back to do warm-up exercises. Then Shen Anyu leads the team and everyone runs to school together.
