Chapter 177: School Begins
After the ventilation holes in the livestock farm shed were completed, the sky cleared up, and after a few days of repairing the ditches, the septic tank used to dissolve livestock excrement was basically completed under the command of Jiang He.
Just like that, a few days passed and soon it was time for the elementary school to start. Zhao Xiaoxue even paid for a trip to the county town and bought the pens and paper the children needed. Originally, Jiang He didn't want her to pay, after all, he had this kind of books in his space, and he wanted to find an old notebook, of which he still had a lot.
"Oh, stop arguing. Just consider this as a gift from me to the child." Zhao Xiaoxue stuffed the books and papers in her hands into Jiang He's arms. "You will just stand at the door and act like the foreign Santa Claus who delivers gifts."
Jiang He saw her racking her brains to think of something and couldn't help but chuckle, "Then I have to prepare another sock for each of them and sneak into their chimney in the middle of the night."
"Why do you want to do this?" Zhao Xiaoxue looked back at Jiang He, then lowered her head. "Why haven't I heard of someone giving a gift through a chimney?"
"Ahem, I'll just guess it myself." When Jiang He heard this, he remembered that Santa Claus gave gifts. Almost no one in China knew about it now. If he asked some people who had returned from abroad, they might know something about it.
"I was wondering, who would go through a chimney to give someone a gift for no reason?" Zhao Xiaoxue had a puzzled expression on her face.
"Comrade Jiang, Comrade Zhao, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. The child is used to sleeping in. I've been busy these two days and forgot about sending the child to school." At this time, a woman in a torn shirt dragged her child over. "My son, say hello to the two teachers." As she spoke, she lowered her son's head a little. Her face was full of embarrassment. The village chief had clearly told her son about the child's schooling some time ago, and said it was free, and asked her to hurry up and send the child over. As a result, she was so busy that she forgot about it.
"It's okay. It's inevitable on the first day of school. But you can't be late tomorrow." Zhao Xiaoxue smiled and rubbed the little guy's head. "Go to the principal to get the books."
"Oh." Gouzi hurried to Jiang He. Just as he was about to speak, he saw a very good-looking face opposite him. This reminded him of what he had just done. He suddenly didn't know what to say. He could only stammer, "Principal...Principal, please get the books——"
Jiang He looked at the little guy's nervous look, but didn't say anything. He just put the books he had prepared in his hand and said, "These books are for you. You must protect him well. This is the textbook that the teacher spent a long time looking for. You must take good care of him."
"Pa!" Gouzi's mother ran over and said to her son, "Nod? What are you doing standing there like an idiot?" After giving her son a lesson, she turned around and looked at Jiang He, "Principal, don't worry. If he dares to tear a page out of this book, I will beat him to death."
"Okay, now please invite Liu into the school and wait for the arrival of other students." Jiang He looked at the fierce appearance of Gouzi's mother and couldn't help but sigh that this tiger mom put pressure on her, and even the most naughty kid didn't dare to say a word.
