Chapter 98 School Starts (Update 1)
Originally, Lu Pingan thought that the weather was a little warmer today, so he could ride a bicycle to send Shen Xiaoyue off, which would also be a different experience.
As soon as I walked out of the room, I saw Lu Siyu and Lu Sixia standing at the door with their small schoolbags on their backs.
As he opened the door, they both looked up at him.
(ω)(ω)
Each of them was holding a hot corn dumpling in his hand.
"? Why are you standing at the door of my room instead of going to school?"
Lu Jun was squatting outside brushing his teeth with a toothbrush in his hand. When he heard Lu Ping'an talking, he stood up immediately.
"Ping An, since you have to send Xiao Yue off anyway, please help me and Yong Zi send them off."
As he spoke, he wiped his face with cold water.
If Lu Ping'an goes to send them off in the future, they can sleep for twenty more minutes!
He and Lu Yong hit it off immediately and sent the two children directly to Lu Ping'an's door.
Before Lu Ping'an could say anything, Shen Xiaoyue popped her head out sleepily: "Okay, I'm just on my way, I can just walk there with them, it's not far."
"Don't go. Just sleep a little longer and I'll take them there."
She was too excited last night and hardly slept. She was groggy at the moment, and as she was talking, her head fell on Lu Ping'an's back.
Lu Pingan reluctantly turned around and hugged Shen Xiaoyue carefully, allowing her to fall into his arms.
"You're still thinking about sending others off right now. You might fall asleep on the road halfway through, and then Siyu and Sixia will have to drag you over."
"Those two little guys can't drag you."
Chen Xiaoyue closed her eyes and raised her head, looking weak: "Relax for a while, relax for a while, I got up too hard just now, and I'm still sleepy."
The early morning sun carries a warm scent, even the eyelashes are stained with a circle of light.
Lu Ping'an felt itchy, so he turned around and said to Siyu and Sixia, "Wait a moment", then closed the door and kissed her.
Shen Xiaoyue opened her eyes suddenly: "What are you doing? You haven't brushed your teeth yet!"
"I swiped it."
“I didn’t brush it!”
"It's okay, I didn't kiss you, and besides, you're awake."
Lu Ping'an was very confident, with an expression that said, "I kissed you just to wake you up."
"Okay, stop holding on to your husband and go brush your teeth and wash your face, or you'll be late."
Shen Xiaoyue once again refreshed her understanding of how shameless he was.
He wordlessly put on his thick coat and opened the door.
Lu Pingan brought a kettle and said, "I boiled some water last night. Use this to brush your teeth and wash your face."
Shen Xiaoyue made a "hmm" sound in response, obviously she was used to it.
Lu Jun, who had just brushed his teeth and washed his face with cold water:? ? ?
"Why didn't you pour me some water when I was washing? Didn't you see I was shivering with cold?"
His dear elder brother had never enjoyed such a good day!
Usually, Lu Ping'an and Shen Xiaoyue got up late, and Lu Jun didn't know that his younger brother would actually boil a pot of hot water every night for his sister-in-law to use the next morning.
Lu Jun had a heart attack when he thought about how he had to prepare himself mentally every morning to brush his teeth and wash his face with cold water.
Lu Pingan glanced at Lu Jun calmly: "Brother, don't you usually prepare for your sister-in-law? It's really inconsiderate."
Lu Jun inexplicably felt a hint of contempt in his eyes.
"I'm done, let's go."
Shen Xiaoyue was holding the steamed bread that Siyu had just handed to her.
When I arrived at the school gate, I found that Song Weiya and Yu Qi were already standing at the door ready to welcome the students.
Song Weiya smiled at the two of them: "Xiaoyue, Comrade Lu, good morning."
Lu Ping'an also responded with a smile: "Good morning, Song Zhiqing."
"It's so early, Weiya, have you had breakfast?"
"I ate it."
Lu Ping'an patted Sixia and Siyu on the shoulders and asked them to enter the school first.
"Okay, you should go back soon, see you at noon."
There were children all around, and Shen Xiaoyue was embarrassed to stand too close to him, so she just nodded to signal him to go home first.
"Don't forget the homework I gave you yesterday."
"Got it, wife."
Yu Qi has been married for several years. Most people in the village are relatively introverted. He and his wife got together because the educated youth site and his wife's home were close to each other. They fell in love with each other over time. Later, he felt that Dahe Village was not bad, so he simply stayed and got married.
He couldn't help but joke, "The relationship is good right after marriage."
Yu Qi was one of the rare educated youth who stayed in the village honestly and lived a down-to-earth life. Needless to say, his relationship with his wife was very good.
Shen Xiaoyue smiled and said, “Yu Zhiqing, what you said is true. You and your sister-in-law have been married for so many years and your relationship is very good.”
Yu Qi scratched his head: "That's right."
Yu Qi's wife was pregnant. Besides being interested in being a teacher, he also wanted to increase his income to prepare for the upcoming birth of his baby.
"You can just call me Brother Yu. I'm older than you and we'll be working together from now on, so don't be too polite."
There are fewer classes in junior high schools than in elementary schools. Many people in the village stop sending their children to school after elementary school, so one of the originally prepared classrooms is left empty to be used as their teacher's office.
Students came to school one after another. As the bell rang, the three of them went to the classes they taught, holding their textbooks.
"Hello, students. I am the new Chinese teacher, Shen Xiaoyue. I will start calling the roll now. Everyone please stand up so we can get to know each other."
After Principal Fu separated the first and second grades into separate classes, there were very few children in the first grade, including Lu Sixia.
When Lu Sixia saw her aunt standing in the classroom, she almost blurted out "aunt".
Later, I remembered that my father and mother had told me yesterday that when I saw my aunt at school, I should call her "Teacher Chen", so I quickly covered my mouth.
Sit up straight.
When Shen Xiaoyue called her name. He also shouted "here" honestly.
Sixia's mind was working rapidly.
Before, when she slept in class, the teacher would not tell her parents. But it was different with her aunt. She would tell her uncle, and her uncle loved to tell complaints!
Sixia decided that even if she felt sleepy during her aunt's class, she would wait until the next class.
But surprisingly, Sixia found that she was not sleepy at all.
My previous Chinese teacher spoke with a heavy accent, she couldn’t understand the words in the book, and she wasn’t very good at pinyin. She always felt dizzy after the whole class.
But the young aunt had a nice voice, and she didn’t start by reading from the textbook, but instead taught them pinyin.
Sixia was surprised to find that she could actually understand.
He tilted his head back and studied the pinyin alphabet written on the blackboard by Shen Xiaoyue seriously.
“…………ǎ……à…”
Shen Xiaoyue read it once, and the students below followed suit.
Having fewer students has its advantages. Shen Xiaoyue can tell who is slacking off at a glance.
"Xiaohua, read the passage the teacher just read."
As one of them came to his senses, the other one's eyelids started to twitch again.
After reminding several distracted children, I finally got through the first class.
"How does it feel?"
Fu Wen was worried that some of the young teachers had little teaching experience and were under psychological pressure, so he came to see them.
"It's good. The children are very obedient."
The three of them were a little nervous before the class started, but most children of this generation start helping with housework at an early age and are very obedient.
They are also very respectful of the teacher. If some of them are distracted, they will listen to the class attentively with their faces reddened after the teacher reminds them.
"Is it just that the school time is too early? Many children seem sleepy during class."
Fu Wen glanced at Shen Xiaoyue and sighed, "On the one hand, the school time is early, and on the other hand, many children not only have to study, but also have to prepare breakfast for the whole family before going out in the morning. When they return home in the afternoon, they have to help with housework. For example, in a family where everyone is doing farm work, the children have to cook when they go back, and their energy is limited."
Most people want to do more work and earn more work points, so they get off work very late. Now that there are many children being born, the older children often have to take on tasks such as cooking, and cutting grass for pigs.
"So we rarely assign homework, and they don't have time to do it when they get home. That's why I separate the first and second grades. To improve learning efficiency, we can only hope that they can absorb more in class."
The three didn't know what to say after hearing this, they just said that they would pay more attention to the sleepy children in the future.
"Boom boom boom."
There was a knock on the office door, and several people looked towards the door. Lu Ping'an poked his head out and smiled at Fu Wen: "Hey, Teacher Fu, you are giving a lecture."
After successfully getting a big eye roll from Fu Wen, he raised the lunch box in his hand and said, "Wife, it's time to eat."
Shen Xiaoyue took the lunch box, and the two chatted about the morning class, and then Lu Pingan went back.
When Hu Qingqing came to find Shen Xiaoyue, they found an empty classroom.
Hu Qingqing taught herself first and then asked her if she didn't understand something.
Classes continued in the afternoon. The elementary school finished early, so Siyu and Sixia usually went home together.
Now that Shen Xiaoyue is here as a teacher, they don't need to do any work at home, so they can just wait until Shen Xiaoyue gets off work, do some of the homework that Shen Xiaoyue assigns to them, and then wait for Lu Ping'an to take them home together.
It’s just that originally Sixia and Siyu didn’t eat lunch at school. The elementary school finished school early, so they went home to eat breakfast after school. It’s a bit late to go home now, so Lu Pingan can only take the food for three people at noon.
In the evening, she would take Lu Ping'an to study for a few hours.
Repeating this every day, life becomes fulfilling and interesting.
That day, Hu Qingqing brought a piece of news.
"Li Zhiqing is pregnant."
Shen Xiaoyue was at a loss: "Who? Li Lan? So fast."
"Not really, it's been several months, but she hasn't been working. I got this news when I came to see you and happened to see Li Lan's mother-in-law chatting with someone else."
"But her mother-in-law didn't look too happy. From what she said, she thought Li Lan could become a village teacher, so she didn't have to do farm work. But now that she didn't become a teacher and she's pregnant, she found an excuse not to do anything. Her mother-in-law is a little dissatisfied."
Hu Qingqing suddenly glanced at her and smiled mysteriously: "What about you? You got married earlier than Li Lan."
Shen Xiaoyue couldn't say it clearly, so she just hesitated: "...We don't have such plans yet."
"That's right. If the college entrance examination is resumed early, it will be inconvenient for you to study with a big belly. If it is resumed late, you will have to take care of the child after it is born. You are still young, so there is really no rush."
The two sighed a few times and then went back to studying.
However, it was unexpected that not long after that, Li Lan and her mother-in-law started arguing at the door of their house, and the villagers quickly called Lu Guodong over.
"Secretary Lu, you've come just in time. Please judge for me. Li Lan has been married to our family for such a long time, but she doesn't do any housework. Today I asked her to wash the dishes, but she just threw them to the ground. Do you think there is such a daughter-in-law?"
Zhang Mazi's father, Zhang Qian, was smoking a pipe, frowning, and pulling her sleeve from behind.
"Wu Rong, stop talking. Xiaolan is still pregnant."
It would have been fine if Zhang Qian hadn't said anything, but once he spoke, Wu Rong got even angrier: "I want you to be a good person here, but it was you who agreed to her being with Youde in the first place."
Li Lan felt aggrieved: "You were the ones who said that I just needed to stay at home and prepare to give birth to a big fat boy. You were also the ones who said that Youde could go to work in the factory. I've been pregnant for four months, and he still hasn't gone. Didn't you say that his sister could help him find a job?"
Wu Rong was speechless for a moment, then turned around and started scolding Zhang Mazi's sister again.
Lu Guodong couldn't comment on other people's family affairs, so he could only criticize them: "Wu Rong, Li Lan married into your family, you are a family, and now she is pregnant, you as a mother-in-law should be more tolerant."
"Also, stop thinking about your daughter's job. Do you think factory work is like eating sweet potatoes on the roadside?! Can I give it to you if you want it?!"
"Li Zhiqing, as a member of the family, you should also take the initiative to assume some family responsibilities. I'm not asking you to do farm work, but you can help with housework when you have nothing to do."
"Zhang Qian, as the head of the family, you have to coordinate the relationships among family members!"
"Where is Youde? You two are arguing and Youde doesn't care, so I'll just let you guys quarrel?"
Wu Rong quickly excused Zhang Youde: "Youde has gone to work, Secretary Lu, take a look, it's just a small matter."
When the onlookers saw that they had stopped quarreling, they dispersed.
Lu Guodong talked about this during dinner and shook his head repeatedly.
They had only been married for a short time when they started quarreling.
He looked up at the people who were working hard to eat, and sighed heavily: "Dad and Mom don't ask you to do anything, don't quarrel over trivial matters, family matters can be discussed by the whole family!"
Lu Jun nodded and secretly took the corn cake from Lu Siyu's bowl.
This corn pancake was made by Shen Xiaoyue.
Everyone was tired of eating steamed and roasted corn, so Shen Xiaoyue asked Si Xia Si Yu to help break off a few corns to make corn cakes.
Who knew that the Lu family loved to eat it, and from time to time they would hold a few corns to hint to Shen Xiaoyue to make more.
Fortunately, with Sixia and Siyu as helpers, it was easy to do.
Siyu hadn't noticed that a small piece of corn cake had been taken away from his bowl. He was listening carefully to his grandfather's speech, nodding his little head non-stop like pecking at rice.
Sun Min noticed it and pinched Lu Jun: "You greedy bastard, you even want to steal your own son's food, give it back now."
