Chapter 211: School Starts (Page 1/2)
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it's August 31st, the first day of school. That morning, just as the sky was getting light, Lin Man couldn't wait to get out of bed and start preparing breakfast.
She knew that today was the first day of school and she would definitely be very busy.
Huo Qingci also knew that today was of great significance to Lin Man, so after the two hurriedly finished their breakfast, before seven o'clock, Huo Qingci rode his bicycle and rushed to school with Lin Man.
Huo Qinghuan knew that he had to pay tuition today, so he returned home early yesterday and waited happily for his mother to go to school together to register and pay the tuition.
After entering the campus, the first thing that catches your eye is the magnificent teaching building.
The building has three floors. The classrooms for the first grade are arranged on the first floor; the second grade is located on the second floor; and on the third floor, in addition to two classes for the third grade, the rest of the space is used as various offices.
Lin Man walked briskly towards classroom 102, holding a class chart. She took out a class chart and posted it on the classroom door to make it easier for students to find their classrooms.
As soon as I entered the classroom, I found that there were already three students, one girl and two boys.
Lin Man greeted them with a smile, "Hello, I'm Lin Man, the teacher of Class 102. Are you students in our class?"
The girl smiled shyly, "Hello, Teacher Lin, my name is Li Haiyan."
Lin Man knew that this was the girl with the best grades in their class, Li Haiyan, whose student number was 1.
"Okay, please sit down first."
At this moment, the other two boys stood up at the same time and greeted Lin Man in unison: "Hello, Teacher Lin!"
One of the boys then introduced himself: "Teacher Lin, my name is Liu Rong, and the person next to me is He Wei."
Lin Man nodded, indicating that she had remembered both of their names.
She secretly sighed in her heart that these students with excellent grades usually have a positive and optimistic trait.
Then, Lin Man asked them: "So, where are your parents?"
Li Haiyan quickly stood up and explained to Lin Man, "Teacher Lin, we have already brought the tuition and registration fees, but the parents were unable to come due to some unexpected matters."
"I see." Lin Man nodded in understanding. Then, she made arrangements: "Well, Li Haiyan, please wait here with the class list and wait for the other students to register.
Liu Rong and He Wei can come with me to the Finance Office to pick up their textbooks."
After saying that, she smiled and led the two male classmates to the finance office on the third floor to get the books and receipt books.
Originally, students could just go to the finance office to pay and get the books, but I don’t know what the school was thinking, but they forced this task on the class teacher.
There are 53 students in their class, 29 boys and 24 girls.
Lin Man didn’t know whether all 53 people would come to register. Anyway, the school’s notice had been sent to them, so they should come under normal circumstances.
If they don't come, students aged fourteen or fifteen will most likely be sent to the countryside as educated youth.
As soon as Lin Man arrived at the finance office, she ran into Huo Qinghuan who was also helping their teacher move books. Huo Qinghuan grinned when he saw Lin Man, "Hello, Teacher Lin!"
Lin Man looked at Huo Qinghuan with a half-smile. The good boy pretended not to know her at school. It was true. She was a teacher now and her brother-in-law was a student. It was impossible for him to call her sister-in-law in front of everyone.
So Lin Man smiled and replied, "Student Huo, come and help the teacher move the books! Have your parents come to pay the tuition?"
"Teacher Lin, my mom had something to do today, so she didn't come over. She gave me ten yuan for the tuition and registration fee, and the rest was exchanged for meal tickets."
It turned out that the mother-in-law didn't come. She thought the mother-in-law would come with her.
"Okay, go do your thing!"

Lin Man walked calmly into the finance office, received two receipt books, and then began to concentrate on counting the piles of books.
After finishing the inventory, she turned to look at Liu Rong and He Wei beside her and whispered, "You two, help move some down first."
Liu Rong and He Wei acted quickly without hesitation and rushed downstairs like a gust of wind.
However, not long after, they turned back, followed by three new classmates.
The three new students introduced themselves one by one. One of them was named Zhou Yang, another was called Zhang Xiaohua, and the last one was called Deng Zhigang.
Lin Man nodded with a smile, and then led them to move the remaining textbooks to the classroom on the first floor in an orderly manner.
When she stepped into the classroom, she was surprised to find that there were more than 20 students gathered in the class, and some students even brought their parents.
“Hello, Teacher Lin!”
“Hello, Teacher Lin!”
“…”
Warm greetings echoed in her ears one after another, and Lin Man couldn't help but feel a shock in her heart.
At this moment, she truly felt that she had become a true teacher.
Lin Man greeted the parents one by one, and then asked them to line up to register, pay fees, and distribute books.
Lin Man placed the receipts on the desks in the first row and casually called out the names of two male classmates, "Liu Rong, He Wei, you two help the teacher distribute the books."
"Okay, Teacher Lin."
Lin Man started collecting money and issuing receipts to them. Some parents left after paying, while others wanted to stay and chat with Lin Man.
Some people started complaining while paying, "Tuition is so expensive now, and I have so many children in my family that I can't afford the tuition.
The tuition for each student is five yuan, and the registration fee is fifty cents. There are fifty-three students in the class, so the teacher only collects two or three hundred yuan a day…”
It wasn't her who received the money, so she didn't know why these parents were nagging like that.
Lin Man could only pretend not to hear the parents' complaints. The school asked the class teacher to collect tuition fees, and Lin Man knew this would happen.
Seeing that Lin Man didn't agree, the man started complaining again, "Alas, we have five children in school, three in elementary school and two in junior high school. The tuition is dozens of yuan when the school starts."
When talking about having many children at home, another parent also began to agree, “You have five children in school, I have six, and one is in high school.
Your Lao Zhao's salary is higher than our Lao Qian's, right? You also make thirty yuan a month."
The parent who had been complaining felt relieved at once. She smiled and said to Mrs. Qian, "I earn 36 yuan a month and have two days off.
If my husband and I were not both working, how could we raise so many children? "
"Teacher Lin, do you make thirty yuan a month as a teacher?"
Lin Man was thinking about whether to come back. After thinking for a while, she said, "It's true that our salary as teachers is not as high as that of workers."
The man asked again: "Teacher Lin, you are married, right? How many children do you have?"
"two!"
"Boy or girl?"
Lin Man patiently replied, "Two sons, one over two years old, the other not even one. Su Na, please sit down first. We'll talk later. I'll get Tang Ling a receipt first."
The woman smiled awkwardly, and stepped out of the crowd somewhat embarrassedly, making room for the new parent.
We were busy from about seven to almost ten, and the class was supposed to have 53 people, but only 51 showed up. All the male students were there, with only two female students, Liang Chunyan and Zhou Dandan, absent.
Lin Man thought, their parents wouldn't stop them from going to school, right?
