Chapter 104 Preparing for School
The machinery factory got off work very punctually. Chen Qing blinked twice with heavy eyelids and looked at the sunlight projecting through the window with empty eyes.
She didn't do anything today and felt a little dizzy. It also delayed her from getting the first place to leave the machinery factory.
Chen Qing lamented: Is she destined to be a hard worker?
How come after a day of eating, drinking, playing and sleeping, she still doesn't feel well?
Chen Qing rubbed his forehead and slowly returned to the alley.
She first saw the man standing at the gate of the slum next door.
The hazy afterglow of midsummer fell on him, softening his cold brows.
Chen Qing's eyes lit up instantly!
——He Yuan!
He is home!
As if sensing something, He Yuan also focused his gaze on her: "Are you back?"
Chen Qing nodded stupidly.
His neat and tidy attire was totally out of place with the surroundings, and he looked like a work of art standing there.
"Did you change your clothes when you got home? Then you'll have to wash an extra set of clothes tonight."
He Yuan: “…”
The smile on his lips froze.
"You have good observation skills."
"It's okay, wait a moment, I'll get something for you." Chen Qing asked him not to enter the house for the time being, and ran back to his home in a hurry.
She owed He Yuan more than a hundred yuan, so Chen Qing decided to pay back 20 yuan every month so that the pressure would not be so great.
When He Yuan was stuffed with 20 yuan, he was a little confused: "I'm not short of money."
When He Yuan lent the money to Chen Qing, he never thought of taking it back.
"I know, let's put it this way." Chen Qing didn't want to argue about this matter. Besides, there were too many people coming and going at the entrance of the compound. "It's getting late. It's almost time for dinner. I'll go back first."
He Yuan's eyes dimmed: "Okay."
Chen Qing didn't understand anything. After returning home, he rummaged through the drawers and cabinets to find the few balls of wool left by the original owner.
Wool is extremely expensive, with a single sweater costing as much as 15 yuan.
Otherwise, how could it be said that in the past, having enough food and clothing was a luxury.
Chen Qing planned to go to the office to knit. Otherwise, without a cell phone, TV, or romance novels, she would be so bored that her head would be dizzy.
"Aunt."
Xiaoyu shouted outside the door.
"What's wrong?" Chen Qing asked.
Xiaoyu: "When we filled his bucket with water, Uncle put a lot of things in our bucket and asked us to take it home without being discovered by others."
"What did he give?"
Chen Qing went to take a look.
The table was filled with so many things that she felt numb.
Dried squid, dried fish, kelp, scallops, and dried clams.
They are all seafood specialties.
Chen Qing thought of the city where He Yuan went. It was not surprising that he could buy seafood specialties, but it was several bags and not cheap.
"Our cooking skills are such a waste of good ingredients."
He Yuxiang: "I've never eaten it, so I don't know how to make it."
Chen Qing said: "It's okay, I'll go find him when I'm at the machinery factory and ask him how to make seafood."
"good."
He Yuxiang cooked the usual dishes as usual.
The two children were silent during dinner. It was normal for He Yuxiang not to speak, but Xiaoyu was a chatterbox. She would chatter with her about what she had done that day, not even letting go of the smallest details.
Chen Qing asked tentatively: "Xiaoyu, do you know that you are going to school and the pressure is too great?"
"A little bit."
Xiaoyu looked depressed, like a cotton doll, with drooping mouth corners and watery eyes, looking pitiful.
Chen Qing felt extremely distressed and prepared to teach He Yuxiang a lesson later.
Xiaoyu stirred the tofu in the bowl, mixing the soy sauce tofu and rice together, and put spoonful after spoonful into her mouth. When her cheeks were bulging, she mumbled, "Uncle He Yuan said that he has a day off tomorrow and can take us to school."
"Really? That's great." Chen Qing thought that she would be overwhelmed with two children on her own, "Then I'll go and tell him the time later."
Xiaoyu blinked her eyes frantically and slid down: "Aunt, I ate too much fruit this afternoon. I'm full. I'm going back to the house first."
She ran into the house, tumbling her short legs and arms like crazy.
Chen Qing was too late to stop him. He looked at He Yuxiang on the table with an unhappy face and said, "What did I say? Don't put too much pressure on your sister. If you really want her to get into a technical secondary school, just let her study in junior high school. Elementary school is for playing!"
He Yuxiang glanced at her dimly.
It was clearly she who made Xiaoyu sad.
"knew."
"All right."
After dinner, Chen Qing went to find He Yuan.
He Yuan was not surprised by her arrival.
But the people in the compound still stared at them.
Chen Qing just said to He Yuan: "Tomorrow morning at 7 o'clock, let's go to the state-owned restaurant to eat wonton noodles."
"Okay." He Yuan nodded in agreement.
Chen Qing went home and told the two siblings the time to get up.
"This is your first day at school. Xiaoyu is short, so she must take a seat. So we have to go early and get up at 6:30. He Yuxiang, you are responsible for waking us up at the appointed time, understand?"
He Yuxiang nodded.
Two dollars in hand.
I don’t know how to start.
Xiaoyu came out of the house: "Aunt, will you go to the state-owned restaurant with us to have breakfast tomorrow, and then the two of us will follow Uncle He Yuan to school?"
"What are you thinking about? I will definitely send you there tomorrow, but there will be a lot of people there tomorrow, and it will be a bit confusing for me to look after you two alone, so I'll call He Yuan for help. You must not run around tomorrow, understand?"
The machinery factory is a large factory with tens of thousands of employees. Although it is no longer advocated to change one's destiny through knowledge, many people still hope to enter the technical secondary school of the machinery factory and then become temporary workers in the machinery factory, so there are always many new students enrolled every year.
As a parent, Chen Qing needed to fill out some things and was afraid that they would be squeezed.
Xiaoyu's eyes suddenly lit up, and her tone became excited: "Aunt, are you going to school with me?"
"Of course." Chen Qing urged her to take a shower: "You have to get up early tomorrow."
"good!"
Xiaoyu spun around happily.
He Yuxiang stuffed two dollars into his pocket, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
It's good that she is willing to go.
Tomorrow he and Xiaoyu will both have parents.
*
Yang family.
Since his ex-wife left, Yang Xiujing asked his very close female relatives to teach his daughter how to clean and cook. So his house is very clean and he can eat hot meals when he returns home every day.
"Xiao He, tomorrow is your first day of school. Are you happy that your dad will send you to school?"
Yang Yihe said expressionlessly: "Happy."
Yang Xiujin smiled gently and ruffled her hair: "Our Xiaohe has grown into a big girl in the blink of an eye. She can help Dad do so many things. Dad is really proud. When you go to school, you must get along well with your classmates and become a capable assistant to the teacher. Let others know that even if our Xiaohe doesn't have a mother, she is the most obedient child, okay?"
