The eleventh day of the lunar year is the day when all schools start after the Chinese New Year.
Before that, it is time to pay tuition fees and receive books. The younger generation of the Qin family has already paid their tuition fees and received their new books. The wealthy buy book covers, while the poor parents use old newspapers to make simple book covers. When the Qin Hongfei sisters came here, as the only two uneducated people, they seemed out of place.
The children of the third and fourth rooms were attached to Qin Wanwan from the fifth room. Qin Wanwan was very good at being a big sister. When the new books were distributed, Auntie Qin gave her money to buy book covers. She not only bought her own, but also bought one for her younger brothers and sisters.
Everyone got one, and it was in the shape of a cartoon.
Books were very important in that era. Parents would make book covers for new books to prevent their children from damaging them, but most of them would not be extravagant enough to buy new plastic covers, which cost fifty cents each! Several books for three subjects cost several yuan, and she was reluctant to spend money.
"Sister Fei, look, do my book covers look good?" The child, who was three years younger than her sister, asked her happily while holding up the new book cover, chattering about what she would learn in the new semester.
"It looks good." Qin Fei responded positively.
"Xiao Qian, your sister Fei has not been to school and does not understand this, so don't make things difficult for her." Aunt Qin San said, not knowing whether she meant it or not.
"Oh." Qin Qian was a little disappointed and ran back to Qin Wanwan.
Qin Fei looked at her, feeling a little empty in her heart. To be honest, in the past, Qin Qian from the third room was raised by her, but after growing up, he became close to Wanwan.
Qin Hongpin, Qin Hongpin is not that sentimental. Seeing that Grandma Qin was busy drying the dried peppers just harvested from the field in the yard, and the people next to her were too busy to string them, she called Qin Fei and took the initiative to go over to help. With something to do, she wouldn't be so embarrassed.
Grandma Qin glanced at the two sisters and was a little surprised!
They became smarter and not stupid anymore.
She didn't stop them and let them help.
When they were almost done, Grandma Qin wiped her hands on her apron and said, "Hongpin, come with me."
Qin Hongpin thought the old lady was going to ask about school, but no, Grandma Qin changed her clothes, picked up her things, and took her hand, and went straight to a place, it was school! Aunt Qin was already waiting at the school gate, chatting with a female teacher on duty.
What is there that Qin Hongfei doesn't understand after seeing this?
Grandma Qin came to take her to school to ask for forgiveness, "Grandma, didn't my mother tell you that the school issue has been..."
Grandma Qin pinched her palm and interrupted her with a serious expression, "It has been resolved? How is it resolved? You have to go to school. Have you paid the tuition and got the books? I don't know how your mother taught you, and I don't know that you are so young and like to lie and care about your face. Grandma won't care about this with you, but Hongfei! If you listen to your foolish mother, your life will be over. Just like your sister, you will honestly admit your mistake to the teacher and this matter will be over, understand?"
She thought that the eldest daughter-in-law's story about having a way to go to school was made up in order not to bow to the fifth room.
Qin Hongfei didn't blame the old lady. Even though she was sure that she was lying, she still treated her with such care. Old lady Qin was really good. But at the same time, she also disagreed with Old Lady Qin's behavior. She was biased and hurt people. Why did she directly accuse her of lying without confirmation?
