In September 1980, the first temporary business license for self-employed individuals in the catering industry was issued. Gao Wei followed suit and applied for one, thus officially licensing Gao Ji Braised Food.
However, it will take some time for people to change their mindset, and the reform has just begun.
There are two big happy events at home this month. The first is that little Gu Yiyi is going to elementary school.
In fact, at her age, she could stay in kindergarten for another one or two years, but Gu Yiyi’s best friend Huahua is going to elementary school this year.
Hearing that he would not be able to play with Huahua after they separated, Gu Yiyi started clamoring to go to elementary school after returning home.
Everyone in the family tried to persuade her, but she refused to listen and insisted on one thing - whether she wanted to separate from Huahua.
Seeing that he couldn't persuade her, and Jianshu was annoyed by her nagging, he simply agreed.
In any case, in a few years, the current basic education system will be reformed, with primary school becoming six years, junior high school three years, and high school three years, for a total of twelve years.
By this calculation, Gu Yiyi was about sixteen or seventeen years old when she took the college entrance examination, so she was not too young.
Let her try it first. If she can't keep up, she can repeat the grade. Anyway, there is no strict age limit for going to school now.
Since Jianshu agreed, no one else had any objections.
After all, I am going to elementary school, so I must have the necessary sense of ceremony.
A few days in advance, Jianshu and Gu Mingjing took Gu Yiyi to the department store to buy school supplies.
Gu Yiyi held her mother's left hand and her father's right hand, jumping back and forth holding their hands. Occasionally, she would use the support of the two to dangle her feet in the air, letting her parents carry her. Occasionally, she would squat slightly and let her parents drag her along.
The short distance after getting off the bus allowed her to come up with countless ideas, and walking didn't seem so boring anymore.
"Okay, stop playing and go buy something. Didn't you say you wanted to buy new pencils?" Seeing that they had arrived at their destination, Jianshu stopped her from playing anymore.
Gu Yiyi's attention was immediately diverted, and she cheered, "Buy pencils! Mom, can you buy me a few more?"
"As long as you are obedient, mom will buy it for you."
"I'm very obedient!"
"Then you have to listen to your teacher when you're in school, okay?"
"good--"
After buying new stationery such as pencils and notebooks, the school bags sold in the supply and marketing cooperative did not suit little Gu Yiyi's taste. They were not as pretty as the small shoulder bag her mother sewed for her!
After finishing shopping, it was still early, so the family of three continued shopping. Since they were shopping with their children, they had to spend some money and buy some new clothes and shoes.
When I finally left the department store, I was carrying a lot of bags.
On the first day of school, the family of three got up early in the morning.
After eating the nutritious breakfast carefully prepared by Aunt He and saying goodbye to her grandfather who went to work, Gu Yiyi wore new clothes, new shoes, and carried a new shoulder bag, and was sent to the elementary school by her parents.
Not long after walking, I met Huahua’s mother who was also sending her child to school.
The two little girls cheered and immediately hugged each other, and several adults followed behind to chat.
The primary school was not far away, so a group of people were walking slowly. Two little girls were walking in front, holding hands, speaking in childish language, their words full of their fantasies about primary school life.
"Yiyi, do you think elementary school is fun?"
"With so many older brothers and sisters going to school, it should be fun, right?"
"Yeah, kindergarten is full of little brats, it's not fun at all."
"I wonder if the food in elementary school is good. Will I ever be able to eat the cookies made by my aunt again?"
"It's okay, there must be other aunties making cookies in elementary school!"
“…”
Jianshu listened to the two children's words and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
Haha, I hope that one month later, you can still say what you said today.
For innocent children, kindergarten and elementary school are two completely different things.
I sent the two children to school, registered them, and asked them to report to their new classes.
A teacher was already waiting inside and welcomed the two children in and arranged seats for them.
The two of them sat at the same table. After they sat down, they smiled and squinted their eyes. However, no one around them spoke. They were infected by the atmosphere and consciously closed their mouths. They just rubbed against each other.
Seeing that the teacher started to enforce discipline, taught some sitting postures in class, and helped students get used to raising their hands to speak, Jianshu felt a little relieved.
It seems that I have adapted well now.
"Let's go, the little girls will be easily distracted if we stand here."
Gu Mingjing nodded, "Don't you have classes later? You should go back to school first. Leave Yi Yi to me."
"Well, I'll go back to school first."
After sending his daughter to school, Jianshu started preparing for the second big event while attending classes.
Zhao Tianrui is going to study at Tsinghua University!
The little boy back then has now grown into an outstanding young man.
The seventeen-year-old boy still has a somewhat immature face. After experiencing the voice change during puberty, his voice is already very different from that when he was young. Only the shadow of his childhood can be vaguely seen in his eyebrows and eyes.
Now, Zhao Tianrui has grown to be half a head taller than Jianshu, and is no longer the child she could easily pick up when she was young.
Only at this time can Jianshu feel the passage of time.
Although Zhao Tianrui was attending university in the city, Jian Shu and Zhao Yueling still arranged to send him to school, just like he had sent them to campus back then.
How can there be no one to send your child off to college for the first time?
Rejecting all of Zhao Tianrui's objections, on the first day of school, the two sisters carried large and small bags and took him to the dormitory.
Looking at the looks of the onlookers, Zhao Tianrui looked a little embarrassed but also full of smiles.
Humph, I have a sister to send me off!
To be honest, this feeling is pretty good!
When I arrived at the dormitory, I met Zhao Tianrui's roommate, and soon a few more guys started calling her sister.
It was dinner time, so Jianshu took everyone out for a meal and bought some food for Zhao Tianrui. Seeing that it was getting late, the two sisters waved goodbye and left.
"If you need anything, come find us next door."
"Okay." Zhao Tianrui reluctantly nodded in agreement. He was already such an adult, but his two sisters still thought he was a child.
"Sisters, please come and visit us often when you have time!" said the other boys in the dormitory reluctantly.
"Go! This is my sister!"
"Hey, Lao Si, don't be so stingy! Isn't your sister our sister?" The young man with a crew cut next to him bumped into his shoulder.
"Get out of here, don't take advantage of me!" Zhao Tianrui cursed with a smile.
Boys’ friendship always develops quickly, and the dormitory soon became a scene of laughter and noise.
Here, after sending their brother off, the two sisters immediately rushed back to the dormitory.
They took time out to come because they have to go to class later.
Fortunately, the two schools are close to each other. As soon as I arrived at the dormitory, it was almost time for class. I quickly grabbed my textbook and rushed to the classroom with Zhou Yanan.
