The only place in town with long queues was the supply and marketing cooperative.
There were hardly any people in the rest of the area.
"Tiger, haven't you had breakfast yet? Let's go."
Chen Yunyun led the group to a state-run restaurant, which was next to a supply and marketing cooperative. After they finished eating, they could go for a stroll.
State-run restaurants serve steamed buns and noodles for breakfast.
There are two kinds of steamed buns: vegetarian and meat-filled.
Chen Yunyun was afraid of getting too greasy, so she took two vegetarian buns for herself and ordered meat buns for the rest.
After giving the money and tickets, everyone sat down at the table, and the steamed buns were served quickly.
These days, steamed buns are huge. Chen Yunyun gestured with her hand, and one was almost as big as her palm.
He was much more conscientious than those steamed buns of later generations.
After the meal, the group went into the supply and marketing cooperative.
The people in line were there to buy eggs, but they weren't buying any food this time, so they went to the other side.
Thinking that the children would be going to school, I bought them some stationery and some cloth.
After paying with the cloth coupons, the little ones each helped Chen Yunyun carry the bags.
The navy blue fabric got dirty easily, so Chen Yunyun planned to sew a schoolbag for the children when she got back.
After dawdling for so long, it was already broad daylight.
The registration place Xia Lan mentioned was right next to the commune government building.
We took the children for a walk and found a wooden sign for Yunxi Elementary School.
We found the right place.
The primary school was actually just a few single-story buildings side by side, with a spacious open space behind it and a fairly flat ground.
On the first wooden door, there are black calligraphy characters that read "Office".
Chen Yunyun knocked on the door, and someone inside opened it.
The person who came was a female teacher, and she looked quite familiar.
"Hello comrade, I've brought my child here to register."
Xia Fang glanced at the children following behind Chen Yunyun and smiled gently, "Come in and register."
Xia Fang took out a small booklet and wrote down the children's names, ages, and home addresses.
"Xu Jingtian..."
Xia Fang paused when writing Niu Niu's name.
"What's wrong, teacher? Is there a problem?"
Chen Yunyun was worried that the teacher wouldn't accept Niu Niu because she was too young, "My daughter A Tian is very smart, she can read."
"No, comrade, you misunderstood." Xia Fang explained with a smile, "It's mainly because there are few girls studying here. Including A-Tian, there are only three female students in our class."
She paused, then praised Chen Yunyun, "Comrade, you are very insightful. It's also very important for girls to study."
Chen Yunyun breathed a sigh of relief. She was mainly worried that Niu Niu would be disappointed and go back crying.
It was good that she could enroll; Chen Yunyun paid the tuition fee herself.
A child's books cost 50 cents, and tuition is 50 cents.
Three children cost three yuan.
Xia Fang carefully put the money away and instructed, "School starts tomorrow, remember to have the children come early."
"Because some students live far away, we start class at nine o'clock here."
"OK."
The children all thanked Xia Fang politely before Chen Yunyun took them home.
Xia Lan had a good impression of this family.
It wasn't just because Chen Yunyun was willing to send her daughters to school in an era of scarcity, but also because all of Chen Yunyun's children were polite and well-behaved.
Xia Lan thought that Chen Yunyun must have put in a lot of hard work and taught the child with care.
Back in the village, Chen Yunyun went to the Zhang family first.
She did her morning warehouse watch duties, which Tiger's mother didn't have to do at work, so she helped her with those tasks.
It's not even noon yet, and Rong Yan has missed the entire morning of work.
So he went straight to his cultivation after returning home.
After returning home, Da Wa and Niu Niu were dividing up stationery, while Chen Yunyun put San Wa down from her back, let him pee and wash his hands, and let him play in the yard.
Chen Yunyun took advantage of this time to try and finish making two schoolbags.
She wasn't very skilled at sewing; she had never touched a needle before transmigrating into the book, and she was slow at it.
Fearing that her child wouldn't have a schoolbag for school tomorrow, she had no choice but to bother Tiger's mother again.
Tiger's mother also had a piece of dark blue cloth, which Chen Yunyun had bought for Tiger.
As soon as Hu Zi came back, he asked his mother to make him a schoolbag. Hu Zi's mother put down what she was doing and just picked up the needle when Chen Yunyun arrived.
"I thought it was something serious. This needlework is nothing!"
She then said, "How about you go ahead and do your work, and I'll make it and bring it to you?"
Chen Yunyun shook her head and declined Tiger's mother's offer.
"I want to make it for them myself..."
"Auntie, you do your thing, I'll just learn from you."
