Qin Yu goes to school
It’s a hot July day, and the sound of cicadas chirping makes people wish they could close their ears.
"Dad? Shall we go catch some cicadas to eat? I saw on TV that they can be fried." Qin Yu approached his father and looked at him eagerly.
"You catch it, you eat it...I don't want to eat this stuff." Qin Wenli quickly refused. Qin Yu came closer and tried to persuade him again, but then Yang Xiu came out of the house and shouted, "Yuyu, you're going to school tomorrow, have you packed your things?"
Qin Yu turned around and looked at her mother and said, "Okay, everything is ready..."
"Well, go to bed early, so you don't get up late tomorrow morning..."
Qin Yu pouted reluctantly. She didn't report until ten o'clock. She wanted to be late, but didn't her mother wake her up after seven o'clock that day? Qin Yu turned her head to her father for help, but Qin Wenli blinked with glee. Qin Yu could only pout and go into the house to sleep.
…
"Hey, what you asked that day was whether Xizi would come after school starts?" Yang Xiu asked while sitting next to Qin Wenli and chewing a sour apple.
"Yes, that's what my aunt said. Erbao has a family outside, and the whole family can only live on the money earned by my uncle. There are also two children to raise, so my aunt and Xizi have to earn money..."
"You said Erbao is really something. Xizi looks so good, but he insisted on making him a farmhand. Just wait and see, he will suffer in the future!"
Not long ago, Qin Wenli received a call from Dabao, saying that there was news about Erbao. Qin Wenli was excited for a moment. Erbao had been missing for two years. It was really great to find him unexpectedly. Unexpectedly, Dabao's next sentence made Qin Wenli blush: Erbao found a widow in her forties outside, lived in her house and helped the widow raise her son...
Qin Wenli was so shocked by the news that he was unable to recover for a while. When Hu Yufeng asked him, he told her everything. Hu Yufeng was so angry that she jumped three feet high. If Erbao was there, he would definitely be hurt.
After being angry and scolding each other, the family discussed how to tell their aunt. Hu Yufeng meant to tell it directly, but she had to hide it from Xizi. It was not because she was afraid that Xizi would be angry, but mainly because what if Xizi wanted to go look for it and lost it again?
There is no better way. Erbao is a dead person in Xizi's heart anyway, so it is better to just pretend that this person does not exist. So Qin Wenli secretly told this to his uncle-in-law. His uncle-in-law was silent for a long time, and finally nodded to indicate that he understood.
Anyway, I don’t know what my uncle-in-law told my family, but the name Erbao has completely disappeared from Xizi’s family.
"Hey, Xizi, come here now and let me learn it well. Then I can find someone to cooperate with me and set up a stall..."
Speaking of this, Yang Xiu thought of Huizi again. What a good candidate, but it was a pity that she was sick. After that, she searched for two months but couldn't find a suitable one.
"Don't think about it, let's go to sleep quickly. We still have to take Yuyu to register tomorrow..."
…
It was a clear day, a good day for school.
Qin Yu put on a white lace shirt and red leggings early in the morning. She tied a big red flower with white edges on each of her pigtails and looked at herself happily in front of the mirror.
"Yu Yu, doesn't your scalp hurt because your hair is so tight?" Qin Wenli saw that his daughter's hair was so tight that it lifted up the corners of her eyes. He couldn't help but let out a "hiss" and touched his scalp.
"No, Dad, this is more energetic and beautiful, you don't understand..." Qin Yu didn't feel any pain at all, he just felt that he was the most beautiful kid in the school.
Well, they are indeed a family, and he cannot understand the pursuit of beauty by the female compatriots in the family, no matter whether they are young or old.
"Okay, stop taking pictures. You haven't had enough of taking pictures all morning. Let's go..." Li Lanhua came over with her three children and called Yang Xiu, who hurriedly urged Qin Yu.
Qin Yu quickly put on the little heart-shaped schoolbag sewn by the old lady and followed his parents out.
"elder sister……"
"Yuyu, your hair looks really good today..."
"Yeah, my mother did it..."
The three little girls gathered together and chattered, sometimes talking about hair flowers and sometimes about clothes. Qin Wenli listened silently behind him and once again expressed that he didn't understand these little girls.
…
Xiaogou Village Primary School is very close to Qinjia Bay, with a straight-line distance of no more than 300 meters. It is so close that you can hear the bell for class even at home. It just takes about seven or eight minutes to walk around in twists and turns.
Qin Fang and her two siblings were already senior students. As soon as they entered the school gate, they blended in with their classmates very smoothly and greeted acquaintances from time to time.
Qin Yu was like a baby bird that had just left the nest. Holding the hands of his father and mother, he looked at this new world timidly and curiously.
The registration for new students is very quick. You just need to queue up to register your information, pay the fee, and then take your child to the corresponding class to sit down. That’s it!
Qin Wenli felt a little lost. He was not used to bringing the chattering little girl here and going home empty-handed. Qin Yu was also not used to it. She was surrounded by unfamiliar little faces, and everyone had the same curious expression. She suddenly missed her mom and dad.
"Yu Yu? Why did you run out?" Qin Wenli heard the "thump thump" sound of footsteps behind him, and when he turned around, he saw his daughter who was supposed to be in the classroom.
"Go back quickly, you can't go home before school is over. The teacher will scold you if he finds out..." Although I am not used to it, skipping school is absolutely intolerable. Qin Wenli escorted the pouting Qin Yu back to school, and repeatedly told her not to skip school and go home without permission, then he quickly turned around and walked home.
I kept looking back as I walked, afraid that my daughter would run back, and I began to worry about whether she could integrate into the school.
Yang Xiu was also a little worried because of the trauma he experienced at school. But then I thought again, I was wearing shabby clothes and was also timid and cowardly. Respect Luo Shang first and then respect others. My little girl is not only dressed brightly today, but she is also not a timid person, so she should not suffer any of this.
The couple frowned all the way, each with their own worries.
…
The couple felt that time was very slow. The children who were being ordered around by the teacher felt that time was passing very quickly. On the first day of school, we cleaned the classroom and the campus. Handing out textbooks, homework, meeting new teachers and classmates... When the little kids start to growl with hunger, it's time to go home from school.
Children nowadays are not like those in later generations. Parents would gather outside to look for their children before school is over. They were all gathered together according to the area where their families lived, with the younger ones in front and the older ones in the back, forming a road line. Each road team is led by a senior student who is responsible for the safety of the children in the team. The first team to leave was the one farthest from the school, and they set out in order from far to near. Qin Yu and her group were the last team.
It was the first time for Qin Yu to follow the team. She couldn't help looking back. Team leader Qin Fang was maintaining order on the side. Whenever she saw her looking back, she would remind her seriously, "Yu Yu, don't turn your head. Look ahead..."
Qin Yu couldn't help but stick out her tongue, but there was no one in front of her, so she couldn't help but want to do something.
As soon as we turned onto the path home, the children who had originally lined up in a column suddenly formed groups of two or three, chattering loudly:
"Yu Yu, how do you feel about your first day at school?" Qin Zhu ran up and pulled Qin Yu. He is a sophomore this year and is already Qin Yu's senior, so when he asked questions, he used the tone of a senior.
"It's pretty good. I got a book and made some new friends..."
"Yeah, if someone bullies you at school, just come to us. Last year, someone hit Xiaozhu and I beat him up..." Qin Qian also squeezed over. She has a hot-tempered personality. When Qin Zhu was bullied and crying in the first grade, she often stood up for him. The kids who were beaten all avoided Qin Zhu.
Qin Zhu, who was exposed by his sister, felt embarrassed for a moment, but he immediately became happy again. He stretched out his hand to cooperate with his sister and gestured: "Sister Qianqian, if you lift and push like this... now no one dares to mess with me..."
Qin Yu nodded as he heard this. Although there are no children bullying her yet, it feels different to have a sister as a backer. From now on, if any kids hit her, she would run to find her sister, and then Sister Qianqian would come over and beat them all up in no time. Just thinking about that scene makes me feel great.
Qin Yu's thoughts drifted away, while Qin Fang frowned slightly and asked uncertainly: "Didn't you see Lingling today?"
Upon hearing this, several people looked at each other and shook their heads. Because they were in different classes, Qin Fang only noticed that Qin Ling did not come to school after school.
"Is it because her stepmother doesn't allow her to go?" Qin Qian asked bluntly.
"Shh..." Qin Fang was so scared that she covered her sister's mouth. After looking around, he whispered, "Don't you even look at where you are now? If she hears you, it will cause trouble."
Qin Qian looked indignant, but she didn't say anything.
The other two younger ones looked at each other, looked around, and unconsciously quickened their pace.
…
Qin Yu said goodbye to his three siblings, stepped onto the edge of his own land, and immediately turned into a cheerful little bird, shouting and flying home. Qin Shu, who was feeling depressed in the yard, heard his sister's call, dropped the mud in his hand and ran outside, shouting "Sister, sister..."
When Hu Yufeng put down the work in her hands and came out, she saw the brother and sister hugging each other affectionately, as if they had not seen each other for many years.
"Oh, look at you two. We just separated this morning and went to school, but it feels like we haven't seen each other for years!" She couldn't help but laugh.
As soon as Qin Yu saw his grandmother, he let go of his brother and rushed over to her. Hu Yufeng had already prepared to retreat after being hit, but Qin Yu was more sensible. He braked immediately when he was about to hit her, then hugged her grandmother's waist and shook her, "Grandma, I missed you so much..."
The smile on Hu Yufeng's face was like the warm sunshine in spring, "Oh... this child...", she sighed while stroking her granddaughter's head unconsciously, her tone could melt the water: "Are you hungry? Go in and eat something first, and we'll eat when your parents come back..."
…
Then, Yang Xiu, who had just entered the yard after finishing her work in the fields, was thrown into her daughter's arms. Although she was already a grown-up girl, she still buried her head in her arms and rubbed against her. "Mom, you weren't here on my first day after school..."
"Oh, you are going there to learn knowledge for yourself, not to do any big project for the family. Why should I welcome you home?" Although he spoke with disgust, he still stood there and let the little girl make a fuss.
