"As long as Qingqing can continue to study and have the opportunity to continue her studies, we will be very grateful."
"This child is smart and studious. She's been bored at home all day, with really nothing to do. Being able to go to school is a huge blessing for her."
The principal looked at the little girl beside Lin Jianxue, who was trembling slightly with excitement and nervousness, and a gentle smile appeared on his face.
He reached out his hand and gently touched Fu Qingqing's head, his tone filled with the kindness and encouragement of an elder: "My child, from now on you will be a member of our Zhenhai High School Grade 1 (1) class."
"You must study hard and don't let down your teacher Lin's hard work and expectations of you."
Fu Qingqing's eyes suddenly turned red. She nodded vigorously, her shoulders twitching, and her voice was choked with sobs, almost inaudible: "Yes! Principal, I will! I will definitely study hard!"
"I will definitely not let down the principal, Director Wang, and Sister Xiaoxue!"
Seeing this, Lin Jianxue felt distressed. She walked forward and gently put her arm around her shoulders, comforting her softly: "It's okay, Qingqing, don't cry. This is a big birthday, we should be happy."
Her voice was like the gentle spring rain, carrying the power to soothe people's hearts.
Fu Qingqing leaned in Lin Jianxue's arms, sobbing softly, releasing all her grievances, uneasiness and the ecstasy at the moment.
Soon, under the guidance of Wang Jianjun, Lin Jianxue completed all the necessary procedures for Fu Qingqing's admission.
Fu Qingqing's hands were shaking as she held the admission notice with the bright red seal of Zhenhai High School.
The three of them walked out of the teaching office together.
Wang Jianjun and the principal sent them to the stairs, and gently told Fu Qingqing to study hard for a few days and not to feel pressured.
Lin Jianxue thanked him sincerely again, then took the hand of Fu Qingqing, whose eyes were still red but could not hide her excitement, and walked towards the school gate.
On a July afternoon, the sun shines through the gaps between the leaves, casting dappled shadows. The air is filled with the fragrance of grass and soil, and everything seems so vibrant.
As soon as I reached the school gate, a tall and familiar figure came up to me eagerly.
It is Fu Zhewei.
He was indeed waiting there, standing straight with his tall figure under the shade of the old locust tree, but his brows were filled with obvious anxiety.
Seeing Lin Jianxue and Fu Qingqing walking out of the school gate hand in hand, his deep eyes suddenly lit up, as if he finally saw the light after a long wait, and rushed over in two steps.
"How is it?" His voice was deeper and hoarser than usual, with a barely perceptible tremor, and his gaze moved back and forth between Lin Jianxue and his sister's red and swollen eyes.
"What's going on?"
Lin Jianxue looked at his nervous expression, the smile on her lips deepened, and she announced in a light tone: "Done!"
"Starting from next Monday, Qingqing will come to school with me."
Fu Zhewei's tense body relaxed visibly, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his body, and he breathed a long sigh of relief.
"elder brother--!"
Fu Qingqing couldn't help herself any longer and yelled, "Brother!"
Then she suddenly broke free from Lin Jianxue's hand, threw herself into Fu Zhawei's arms, and burst into tears.
All the emotions that had been pent up in my heart burst out at this moment.
Fu Zhawei's tall body stiffened slightly, and then he hugged his sister tightly, patting her back awkwardly with his big hands.
His eyes couldn't help but turn red, and his voice trembled slightly, "It's over, it's over, Qingqing, it's over. I'll go back when I can go to school."
The brother and sister hugged each other tightly, silently conveying each other's excitement and sadness.
They knew very well that with the Fu family's current status, it would be very difficult for Fu Qingqing to return to school.
If it weren't for Lin Jianxue's unremitting efforts to negotiate and help, they might never have dared to hope for this opportunity in their lifetime.
For them, studying is an unattainable dream.
Lin Jianxue stood aside, watching them quietly, feeling a lot of emotions in her heart.
She waited until the brother and sister calmed down a little before she smiled and said, "It's enough, Qingqing, don't cry."
"Look at you, your eyes are already tearing up. If you keep crying, how are you going to face the new students tomorrow?"
"You've been taking exams all morning. You must be exhausted and hungry, right?"
Lin Jianxue's tone brightened: "Let's go have a bowl of noodles!"
"Let's go to the street together. I'll treat you. Let's celebrate Qingqing becoming a formal student of Zhenhai High School!"
Fu Zhewei and Fu Qingqing's mood gradually recovered.
Hearing Lin Jianxue's suggestion, Fu Qingqing rubbed her red eyes and said in a low voice with some embarrassment: "Thank you, Sister Xiaoxue."
Fu Zhawei also looked at Lin Jianxue, emotions surging in his deep eyes.
He nodded and said in a low voice: "Tuo."
The three of them walked along the path towards the town and found a small state-owned noodle restaurant.
It was lunchtime, and there weren't many people in the noodle shop, but the tempting aroma of hot food was wafting through the air.
Lin Jianxue generously ordered three bowls of the signature beef noodles.
When the noodles were served, she deliberately put most of the beef in her bowl into Fu Qingqing's bowl.
"Qingqing, eat more to replenish your body." Lin Jianxue said gently, "Going to school and studying every day will be very demanding on your brain."
The steaming hot beef noodles have a rich soup, tender beef and are garnished with green chopped green onions. Just the smell makes you salivate.
Fu Qingqing looked at the beef piled high in the bowl, her nose felt sore again, and she responded obediently: "Thank you, Sister Xiaoxue."
She picked up the chopsticks, carefully picked up a piece of beef, and began to eat it in small bites, as if she was tasting the most delicious food in the world.
Lin Jianxue touched her little head with relief, then raised her head and prepared to start eating noodles herself.
But he inadvertently met Fu Zha's dangerous gaze.
Qing Ge was staring at her without blinking. His black eyes, which were usually indifferent and distant, were now filled with deep emotions that she could not understand for a moment. He was so focused that it seemed as if she was the only one left in the world.
Caught by her clear gaze, Fu Zhawei seemed to be scalded by something. His tall body stiffened slightly, and then he suddenly lowered his head. A suspicious layer of light red appeared on the roots of his ears at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He looked away somewhat embarrassedly, picked up the enamel pot of boiled water on the table, tilted his head back and took a big sip to cover up his loss of composure.
Lin Jianxue looked at his innocent yet somewhat clumsy appearance, and a faint smile appeared in her clear eyes, like ripples in spring water.
Soon, three bowls of steaming hot beef noodles were brought up by the waiter.
The large chunks of beef are tender and tasty, garnished with emerald green onions, and the rich aroma of the beef bone broth is mouth-watering, making you salivate.
Fu Qingqing's bowl had a thick layer of beef and a beautiful golden fried egg.
"Eat quickly, we're all hungry." Lin Jianxue picked up the chopsticks and took the lead in picking up a handful of noodles.
Fu Zhawei then raised his head, picked up his chopsticks, and began to eat noodles silently, still without saying a word. He would only occasionally glance up at Lin Jianxue who was eating with a smile on her face, and then quickly lower his head, as if the noodles in the bowl had infinite attraction.
The smile on Lin Jianxue's lips deepened. She lowered her head, picked up a piece of noodles with chopsticks, and slowly began to eat.
The sun shone in through the open doors and windows of the noodle shop, falling on them, making them feel warm.
The wind in July seems to have become especially gentle.
Everything seems to be moving in the right direction.
