Extra: Little Princess Xiao Ran Enrolls in School (1)



Before he knew it, Xiao Ran had reached school age.

There were no kindergartens in rural areas at that time, but there were preschool classes in cities, not in rural areas.

The first grade is when you enter school.

Xiao Ran also started school with his third uncle's cousin Xiao Pei. They were the same age, but Xiao Pei was a few months older.

When the little princess heard that Xiao Ran was going to school, she asked Xiao Ran to find a way to help her.

Xiao Ran went to find Yao Xinyi and helped the little princess get a household registration and school registration in Xiao Ran's world.

In this era, even if the school is far away, parents usually don’t send their children to school.

If there are senior students in the village, ask the villagers to bring their children along.

It's a bit far from the school, about 45 minutes' walk.

It took almost an hour for the rain to come, but luckily the first class was at eight in the morning.

This way, we can set off earlier in the morning.

Uncle San's family didn't send them either, so they asked Xiao Pei and Xiao Ran to go with other people in the village.

The two agreed, but Xiao Xiaoran actually didn't want to.

But I can't say it. I can't say that I don't want to be with this cousin.

One person was carrying a green canvas backpack, and the others basically had the same thing. Backpacks were rare because they were expensive.

Many people's canvas backpacks are used by their older brothers and sisters, or from their neighbors.

Xiao Xiaoran and Xiao Pei's were still new, which made them both very happy.

There is also a metal pencil case in the schoolbag, and when you open it, there is a multiplication table inside.

There are ballpoint pens and pencils for 50 cents each, and the pencils have a very small eraser on one end.

The pencil case made a lot of noise when I walked because of the bumps.

But it doesn't feel noisy at all.

He is still very excited. At this age, he is full of energy and walks in a skipping manner.

"Is it early now?" Xiao Xiaoran looked around and didn't see any other students on the road to the village.

"My dad said it's better to go earlier, because if it's late everyone else will leave and we'll be left without company."

"Yeah!" Xiao Xiaoran didn't say anything.

When they were about to leave the village, Xiao Pei was still looking to see if there was anyone else.

Xiao Xiaoran said: "It's too early now, it's just the starting point!"

Xiao Xiaoran looked at the electronic watch on his wrist.

"Grandma bought you a watch?" Xiao Pei wanted one a little.

"Well!" Xiao Xiaoran said, "Let's walk slowly and wait for the others!"

"Let me see your watch."

Xiao Xiaoran didn't take it off, and handed his arm over, "Here!"

The two of them were walking and chatting, but Xiao Xiaoran seemed a little absent-minded.

Look around.

The little princess said that she would wait for Xiao Ran on the road, pretending that they were both students, but pretending not to know her.

Otherwise, there is no way to explain it. Only after they become classmates can Xiao Xiaoran bring the little princess home to meet her grandparents.

Just can't say where the little princess is.

This was Xiao Ran's instruction. Grandpa and grandma were very familiar with the neighborhood. As long as they knew which village the child was from and what his surname was, they would probably know whose family the child belonged to.

Even the grandparents know where the daughter-in-law is from and who she is related to from that place.

Xiao Ran has always admired this point. It seems that his grandparents all know about these interpersonal relationships.

People from nearby villages intermarry, and most of them are related.

The little princess saw Xiao Ran and Xiao Pei, and prepared a canvas schoolbag for herself.

She changed out of her Tang Dynasty dress.

Instead of having her hair tied into a bun, Princess Yuzhang braided her hair into two small braids.

The clothes he wore were similar to those of the others, a bit rustic.

Those who live in poor conditions still have patches, and the remote mountainous areas are indeed poor.

Many people don’t buy shoes, but have small cloth shoes made by their family members.

The soles are not thick and will wear out over time.

I didn’t notice it before, but later when conditions improved, I could wear sneakers.

When I went back to wearing my small cloth shoes, I felt pain in the soles of my feet when I stepped on stones on the dirt road in the countryside.

On this day, Xiao Ran and Xiao Pei had new shoes and clothes, so they were very happy.

The little princess came out from another intersection and pretended to meet two people by chance.

I saw someone, very young, walking alone with a schoolbag on his back.

Xiao Pei smiled and said, "That one is also a student."

A child wouldn't think there's anything wrong with going to school.

On the road behind, we saw groups of students one after another.

"Well, he doesn't look very old. He should be a freshman like us." Xiao Xiaoran pretended not to know.

As they got closer, the three of them met at the intersection. It was the first time that Xiao Ran saw such a rustic little princess.

It still looks good and has integrated better with the other students in the village.

"Are you going alone?" Xiao Pei looked at the little princess.

Xiao Xiaoran is introverted, but Xiao Pei is not.

"Well, it's a bit early now, and the others haven't come out yet." The little princess also said.

"Then let's go together!" Xiao Xiaoran quickly said.

"Okay!" The little princess walked to Xiao Xiaoran's side. The two of them were very familiar with each other, but they pretended not to know each other.

It was performed for Xiao Pei.

"Are you a freshman too?" Xiao Pei asked.

"Yes, what about you?" The little princess nodded.

"Us too, so we are in the same class." Xiao Xiaoran said.

This school has only one class from grade one to grade six.

Many people cannot finish elementary school.

The first grade classroom is the most crowded and has the most people.

Slowly decrease.

The teaching building has two floors, with three classrooms on each floor.

From right to left, they are first grade, second grade, third grade, and fourth grade go to the second floor. From left to right, they are fifth grade and sixth grade.
