The results came out quickly. Looking at the four beautiful test papers, Shi Zhiqiang thought to himself, "These are indeed the children of the leaders. They have no problem getting into the third year of junior high school. And although they are not yet ten years old, they are in good health, so it doesn't seem out of place."
The two teachers went downstairs, and judging from the principal's respectful manner, they knew he was an important person.
Gu Chuanming and Zhang Xingguo were overjoyed as they looked at Zhenye and his classmates' exam papers. These were their children, their pride.
"Sir, there's no problem with all four children getting into the third year of junior high school."
"Haha, that's great. They can come to school tomorrow. Have you already arranged which class they'll be in?"
"Sir, there are six classes in total for the third year of junior high school. Should we assign each of them to a class, or should we put them all in one class?"
Zhang Xingguo didn't say anything, but looked at the four children and let them decide for themselves.
"Principal, let's each take our own class," said Zhang Zhenye, the eldest student.
"Okay, then you can go straight to Class 1 through Class 4 tomorrow."
"Thank you, Principal. Where are our textbooks?"
"Wait a moment, I'll go to the academic affairs office to prepare it for you. When I get back, I'll just register you."
An hour later, the four children were looking through their textbooks, including their science lesson. School life seemed quite fulfilling.
The six of them didn't get home from school until 10:30. "Grandpa, we don't need a car, we'll ride our own bicycles."
“Okay, let’s go to the building this afternoon, you can choose your own bicycles,” Gu Chuanming said with a smile.
When they arrived home, lunch was ready. Zhang Hongmei was quite anxious waiting at home. Although she knew in her heart that the children would definitely pass the exam, she was still a little worried because she wasn't there in person.
Seeing that they all came in with their textbooks, I finally felt relieved.
At the dinner table, I listened to the four of them talking about the exam, their faces beaming with pride.
"Mom, we're going to buy a bicycle and some stationery this afternoon. Do you want to come?"
"Okay, let's go as a family."
After lunch break, the family went to the building. Each person had a bicycle, all of them the same type, and each person also had a military green backpack, a pencil case, paper, pens, notebooks, rulers, compasses, and each person bought ten notebooks.
Zhang Hongmei also bought several fountain pens. She also prepared stationery for the three children. Afterwards, she looked around on the first floor but didn't find anything she needed, since the supplies for all of them weren't enough. Then she went to the Overseas Chinese Store and bought bread and chocolate, which were also for Liu Qiang and the others.
When Zhang Shouyi returned home that evening, he learned that his sons would be starting school the next day, so he gave each of them a fountain pen.
The next day, Zhang Hongmei saw her four sons off to school, and Lu Jing and the others picked up Liu Qiang and the others. The three of them also began their studies.
Everything returned to normal.
Zhang Hongmei is only two months pregnant, so she doesn't feel much of a pregnancy. She's also bored, and the scripts and games don't require her involvement right now. So she's just looking at plans and accounts.
Zhang Zhenye and the other three entered the class in order.
Most of the students in their final year of junior high school are around fifteen years old. Even if the four of them are about the same height, they still look very young.
Yesterday afternoon, the principal held a meeting with the teachers of all subjects from the four classes. Although the leader had instructed them not to reveal their true identities, the teachers generally understood what Shi Zhiqiang meant: the four of them were not ordinary people.
They weren't late, but all the students in the class were studying diligently. The high school entrance exam was just over three months away, and all the children who had persevered and were still in school naturally hoped to get into high school and eventually university. So, the learning atmosphere was still very strong.
The teacher hadn't arrived yet, but there was an empty seat at the back of the classroom. Zhenye went to the back, took out a handkerchief, and wiped the seat inside and out, top to bottom, before sitting down.
In fact, all forty-odd students in the classroom were secretly watching the new student.
Everyone felt he must be younger than them, but he was over 1.6 meters tall, looked about the same age as them, and was fair-skinned and neat. Judging from his movements, you could tell that his family must be very well-off.
How could children from poor families have the time to do these things?
Zhang Zhenye has exceptionally strong senses, and he also has the ability to read minds. He knows that the students in this class are not bad and none of them have any real malice.
I took out the book, thought about their progress, and felt that I could still go through it during the morning self-study session today.
Zhang Weiyu's life was much better than his older brother's because he was very good-looking, which attracted the curiosity of all the boys and girls in the class. Everyone loves beauty.
However, Wei Yu hasn't truly gotten over his grief yet, so he just forced a smile and gave everyone a half-hearted laugh. He did the same thing as Zhen Ye, carefully tidying up the table.
The first class is taught by the homeroom teachers of each class, so it's all about introducing new students.
The four of them weren't shy at all; they stood confidently next to the teacher on the stage and introduced themselves.
They didn't say their age, so it's best not to mention it.
The four of them were the subject of much discussion during the entire third year of junior high school. Everyone was very surprised to learn that they were quadruplets.
However, there were also children from government-employed families among them, who had all heard that the leader's family had quadruplets. So, the classmates who knew the inside story all came over to befriend the four of them.
Zhenye and his classmates did not refuse these offers, and within a week, they had become close friends in the class.
This week, Zhang Hongmei noticed that all four children looked more relaxed, especially the third child, whose eyes showed much less sadness.
On Friday evening, after the four of them finished dinner, Chengzi drove them up the mountain. This time, the two elderly people didn't come along, mainly because they were worried about leaving Zhang Hongmei alone at home.
On Saturday, the three of them went to the old lady's house. Ma Li went into labor early this morning, leaving only Liu Changhe at home to keep the old lady company. Zhang Hongmei was worried, so she came over to stay with her.
"You don't need to come over." The old lady glared at Zhang Hongmei helplessly.
“I don’t feel comfortable leaving you at home. Besides, I also want to see the child as soon as possible.”
The nanny Zhang Hongmei brought is helping to make soup in the kitchen. This one will be taken to the hospital later.
At 9:30, the phone rang. "Grandma, Ma Li gave birth! It's a boy weighing 6 pounds 8 ounces. Mother and child are safe," Liu Aimin said excitedly.
The old lady smiled too. "Okay, I'll send the soup over in a bit."
"Grandma, this baby was born very well. Ma Li won't have any trouble during her postpartum period now."
"Yes, it's to avoid suffering. Is your child born in the twelfth lunar month?"
"I thought it was the twelfth lunar month, but it's been two months now."
