"Sister Ye, look, these are the characters I've practiced these past few days, and some math too. They were all taught to me by my sister-in-law and the others."
Lu Yun proudly showed it to Ye Zhiyu.
Ye Zhiyu picked up the notebook on the table. It was filled with writing, both the front and back were used up.
The handwriting isn't beautiful, but every stroke was done with care; there was no perfunctory work.
Logically speaking, children her age should be having fun, since she has no concept of going to school.
I only know that going to school is troublesome, nothing compares to the freedom of staying at home.
But Lu Yun was different; she obediently stayed at home, learning to write characters stroke by stroke.
Ye Zhiyu put down the notebook in her hand and kissed Lu Yun on the cheek with a "wooden horse".
"Niu Niu is so great, let me give you a kiss." She then took out some candy from her pocket and gave it to her.
Her cheeks were flushed after being kissed by Ye Zhiyu.
They look absolutely adorable.
After a while, Lu Yun took her hand, a little nervously asking, "Sister Ye, is school fun?"
This was the second time she had asked this question. Ye Zhiyu was a little puzzled, stared at her for a while, and then understood.
What she wanted to know wasn't whether school was fun, but rather that she was in an unfamiliar environment and felt a little scared. Her subconscious thought was to ask someone with experience to know something in advance so that she could feel at ease.
Adults need half a day to adapt to a new environment, let alone children.
“Niu Niu, school is a magical place. It allows you to learn knowledge and make new friends. You study together in class and play together during breaks. Many interesting things will happen between you.”
Ye Zhiyu's words created some images in Niu Niu's mind, and her eyes were filled with longing.
"Sister Ye, really?"
Ye Zhiyu smiled, "Of course it's true."
Then he said seriously, "But, Niu Niu, you must remember, if you are bullied at school, you must come home and tell your family, understand?"
Tian Hongfang, who had been watching their interaction with a smile on her face, slowed down her movements.
How can someone be bullied at school?
Lu Jun was a little confused: "Sister Ye, didn't you say I would make new friends? If they are friends, why would they bully me?"
His big eyes were full of doubt.
Seeing those eyes, Ye Zhiyu couldn't help but think of the horrific murder case from later generations.
Three junior high school students, all under the age of fourteen, brutally murdered another junior high school student. When the body was found, it was unrecognizable. Who could have imagined that he had only told his family that he was going out to play for a while and would be back soon, but he never returned?
“Niu Niu, not everyone you know will become your friend. We treat people with sincerity, but whether they accept it or not is their business. If they accept it, you are friends; if they don't, you are just classmates. If they don't accept you and bully you, they are bad people.”
Lu Yun seemed to understand but not quite, and Ye Zhiyu smiled and said, "It's okay. Just remember, if you suffer any grievances at school, you must tell your parents, brother, and sister-in-law when you get home, okay? If anyone threatens you not to tell your parents or teachers, don't listen to them. Whatever happens, we'll talk to the teacher first, and then tell your parents when we get home, understand?"
Lu Yun nodded obediently.
"good!"
After staying for a while, Ye Zhiyu took her leave, and Tian Hongfang saw her out.
"Auntie, that's enough for now, you can go back now."
Tian Hongfang grabbed her hand: "Ye girl, is what you just told Niu Niu true?"
Her two sons had gone to school before, and the two boys never talked about how the school was. When asked, they would just say it was fine. She had never been to school herself, so when she suddenly heard her say this, she felt a little uneasy.
My daughter is the youngest, so she missed the best time to start school. Besides, can a daughter be the same as a mischievous boy?
It's perfectly normal for boys to fight, but not for her daughter.
Lu Chen: ......
Lu Ze: ......
Ye Zhiyu smiled and comforted her: "Auntie, what I said was just to give Niu Niu a heads-up. Think about it, how long have we been living together in this village? We still argue with this person and fight with that person all the time."
"I'm just worried that Niu Niu will be bullied, but there's no need to worry too much. After all, there are only a minority of kids in school who enjoy bullying others."
Tian Hongfang thought about it and realized that there were more people around, which also meant more trouble.
I'll pay more attention to my daughter then.
Then I remembered that Ye Zhiyu brought up this topic, so she must have encountered this situation before.
"Girl, have you been bullied before?"
"I don't think so, right?"
My memory is a bit hazy; I can't remember it very clearly.
However, she did remember something she had never forgotten.
Boys always like to form cliques, to get into a fight with this person or to spar with that person.
Then one of the boys ran into a brick wall; the boys they had harassed the previous times had simply ignored them.
Later, she got really annoyed, so she grabbed one of the boys' arms, and then... it broke.
His arm was in a sling for a month. Later, I found out that he was a martial arts student who had been learning since he was five years old.
From then on, I never dared to provoke them again.
Ye Zhiyu told Tian Hongfang about this, and she laughed so hard she couldn't straighten her back.
"He deserves it."
On her way back, Ye Zhiyu was still thinking about how, when she was undergoing the tribulation of lightning, the case of the brutal murder had not yet reached a final conclusion.
Since they are all under the age of 14, it is still unknown whether they will be sentenced, and if so, what kind of sentence they will be given.
At the time, there were calls online for the death penalty, but no one could say for sure until the outcome was announced.
......
When Ye Zhiyu returned to the educated youth settlement, a postman on a bicycle asked a child by the roadside for directions and headed west into the fields.
The fields were bustling with activity when the messenger stopped his bicycle.
"Who is Fu Tingshen? Is Fu Tingshen there? There is an urgent letter for you."
Some kind-hearted people also helped by calling out, "Fu, the educated youth, your letter."
Fu Tingshen straightened up, his forehead covered in sweat, and his lower back ached from years of bending over. He slowly walked over.
Urgent letter?
He had some suspicions in his mind. He had written home about his relationship with Li Xi, but because of the rain, there had been no news for a long time, so he thought everything was fine.
When the young man delivering the letter saw him come out, he took the letter out of his backpack.
"Fu Tingshen, right? This is your letter."
Fu Tingshen thanked him and watched him leave.
Holding the envelope in his hand, he hesitated to open it.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Li Xi standing in the field, looking at him curiously, and he instinctively looked away.
He walked to a tree, took out the letter, and slowly unfolded it.
The letter was filled with his parents' dissatisfaction with his behavior.
The note read: "Fu Tingshen, you bastard, you actually ignored our words! Do you know how Aunt Ye Zhiyu humiliated me in my office? You made your father and me lose face. I order you to break up with that Li Xi immediately, or we'll pretend we don't have a son like you."
