journey

It has been two weeks since Luo Nian came to the Chu family.In order not to miss her homework, Chen Shufen completed all the adoption procedures, and immediately went through the elementary school enrollment procedures.It is said that Luo Nianli is nine years old this year, and he is about the same age in the fourth grade of primary school. However, Luo Nianli's foundation is so poor that he hardly knows other words except his own name. The teacher suggested that Chen Shufen let him start from the second grade. Although she was a bit reluctant, learning had to be done step by step, so Chen Shufen didn't say much, she just explained to the teacher that her child was relatively introverted, and hoped that the teacher would take more care of her.

On the way home, Chen Shufen took Luo Luo to the vegetable market, planning to buy something to cook at home.After picking some spinach and handing over the money, Luo Nianli suddenly stretched out his hand and lowered his head, not ashamed to speak:

"What's the matter baby, what do you want?"

After waiting for a while, Luo Nianli whispered:

"I...I'll carry it for you."

Chen Shufen looked at his little hands, and then at the spinach he just bought.Suddenly laughed, and put the spinach bag in Luo Nianli's hand,

"Oh, my little one is so sensible. Okay, I'll carry it for you."

Then I bought some ingredients one after another. Every time after paying the bill, Luo Nianli would reach out to pick up the vegetables, and Chen Shufen would give them to him too. In Chen Shufen's education, it is very necessary for children to do some housework, so they take the initiative to know how to help adults The child is even more deeply in her heart.Later, I felt that it was a bit too much, so I didn't let Xiao Luoluo mention it any more.Big hands holding small hands, walking on the street home.

"Luo Luo, the teacher said today that your homework foundation is too poor. Although you are older, you have to go to class with younger students. So you have to work harder and catch up with them quickly. Let's skip a grade and try to be with your peers. Go to school, okay?"

After hearing this, Luo Nianli nodded and said something in a low voice

"I will study hard."

Chen Shufen smiled after hearing this, and felt that this child was not so shy, but he was not familiar with him and had a strong sense of defense, and he would be more cheerful when he was familiar with him.This temperament is completely different from that of her family's wild monkey. To Chu wild monkey, he is not familiar with it, and it can go crazy if it is pleasing to the eye.Chen Shufen was suddenly in a good mood. God gave her two completely different children. Such a life might be very colorful.Thinking so, he shook Luo Nianli's little hand and walked home with a smile.Luo Nianli may have been influenced by her, or it may be that he will be able to go to school soon, and he is also in a good mood, secretly grinning.

As soon as they arrived at the gate of the compound, they saw Chu Zheng and Zhuang Yi sitting on their bicycles laughing and chatting about something.

"Zheng'er."

Chen Shufen shouted.Chu Zheng turned his head and saw her mother walking over with Luo Luo, so he pedaled in front of his mother

"Why did you go?"

"Take Luo Luo to go through the admission formalities today."

"oh oh"

Chu Zheng agreed, looked down and saw that Luo Nianli was carrying a lot of vegetables,

"Thank you for your hard work, baby, just come and get it"

I reached out and took those vegetables from his hand and hung them on my handlebar, and then took bags one by one from his mother's hand and hung them on my own handlebar

"Hello, Auntie, hello Luo Luo"

Zhuang Yi also rode over from behind and greeted Chen Shufen and Luo Luo

"Good boys, you are all out of school"

"Well. Chu Zheng and I plan to chat for a while before going back. Then I'll go home first. Goodbye, Auntie. Luo Luo bows."

Zhuang Yi smiled and waved to Xiao Luoluo, Luo Luo also raised his hand and waved politely.Zhuang Yi smiled at Chu Zheng when he saw it, and Chu Zheng also smiled back at him, saying

"See you tomorrow."

"Well, see you tomorrow."

Zhuang Yi got on the car and went home.The three members of the Chu family also happily walked home.

During dinner, Chen Shufen told Chu Jianguo and Chu Zheng what the teacher said at school today.Chu Jianguo smiled and said to Luo Nianli:

"It's okay Luo Luo, if we start late, it doesn't mean that we will slow down the speed. Don't worry, read the book slowly, and ask your brother if you can't."

Chen Shufen added a piece of chicken to Luo Nianli's bowl,

"Yeah baby, your uncle is right. It doesn't matter if you start late, just work hard."

Chu Zheng also imitated his mother, took a piece of meat and put it in Luo Nianli's bowl,

"Yes baby, if you don't study well, you can still serve as a soldier."

Hearing this, his mother immediately glared and shouted:

"What are you talking about Chu Zheng, I owe you a lot, can you teach me something better?"

His dad glanced at him too, and snorted.The fuck went on to say:

"What's so good about being a soldier? We Luo Luo won't be a soldier. We Luo Luo study hard and become a promising person in the future. Don't be like your brother, who knows how to be mischievous every day when he doesn't do his job properly."

"What's wrong with being a soldier..."

Chu Zheng muttered something in a low voice, and his mother pointed at him with chopsticks

"Are you full? Go back to the house and do your homework when you're full. Let me tell you, my brother is going to school soon. Set a good example for me. If he doesn't know how, you can teach him well and take you in." ambition."

Chu Zheng glanced at his mother, stopped talking, and continued to cook.

After dinner, his mother issued an imperial decree, asking him to teach his younger brother to write his name tonight.So Xiao Luoluo lay on the desk with a pen in his hand, and Chu Zheng sat behind him, holding his hand, writing strokes on the paper.

"Luo Nianli, Luo Luo, your name is like a little girl's name. Do you know which one you read and which one is left?"

Luo Nianli looked at the pen in his hand and replied:

"Grandpa said it's the thought of missing, the leaving."

Miss leaving?Chu Zheng froze for a moment, what does this mean.Feeling puzzled, he still held him and wrote his name stroke by stroke.After writing it a dozen times, Luo Luo said he wanted to write it himself.Then Chu Zheng looked at him, and wrote his name crookedly according to the words he wrote before.

"Well, ugly is a bit ugly, but they are all correct. Even when you first learn to write, you are ugly, just practice more."

Luo Nianli looked at the handwriting he had finished, and he was quite happy in his heart. He didn't think it was ugly, he thought it was amazing.There are not many people in their village who can write. Many uncles and aunts can only write after they have been away for a few years.He has to practice hard to write better, so that he can show his grandpa what he wrote when he goes back.

Seeing him writing his name over and over again, Chu Zheng smiled, moved some and sat on the other side of the desk to start writing his homework.Until his mother knocked on the door and came in, gave each of them a glass of milk, and after drinking, asked Luo Luo to go out with him to wash up and get ready for bed.Chu Zheng didn't have a lot of homework today, but Luo Nianli lay down on the bed, but he also finished his homework and ran out to wash up.When he came back and lifted the quilt, the little guy hadn't slept yet, so Chu Zheng got in and lay side by side with him.Mom said that the bunk bed will come tomorrow, and tonight is the last night to sleep together.

"Luo Luo, why are you called Nianli?"

Chu Zheng asked.Luo Nianli thought for a while.

"Grandpa said it was named after Dad."

It seems that he himself is not very clear.As soon as his father was mentioned, Chu Zheng remembered that his father quietly said that Luo Luo's father had already given the title of martyr.Chu Zheng felt awe in his heart, and then wondered what his future would be like, whether there would be such a dangerous day... and slowly fell asleep after thinking wildly.Seeing that Chu Zheng hadn't moved, Luo Nianli whispered "Brother" in his ear, and seeing that he still didn't respond, he shrank back into bed and fell asleep obediently.

On Monday morning, the Chu family was busier than usual, and Chen Shufen was the main one because today was Luo Nianli's first day of school.Chu Zheng, Luo Nianli and his father were sitting at the dining table eating, while his mother was walking around with her schoolbag inside and out.

"Luo Luo, have you brought your student ID? Don't forget to put on your red scarf after dinner."

"Luo Luo, have you prepared all the books for today's class? Don't forget to bring your textbooks."

"..."

Looking at the busy figure of his mother, Chu Zheng wondered if she was like this when he first went to school, more excited and anxious than himself, but Chu Zheng had no impression, he only remembered that there were many people who could be with him Crazy, he was looking forward to it.

"Oh, that's fine. You should hurry up and have some food too. You don't have to go to work after sending Luo Luo off. Didn't you check everything last night?"

Chu Jianguo couldn't stand it anymore, and said something to his wife.Only then did his mother hurriedly sit down at the dining table and quickly took two bites of the steamed stuffed bun.

"Luo Luo, after school at noon, go to the small dining table where your aunt took you yesterday to eat and take a nap. It's very close to the school, remember. You should listen to the teacher of the small dining table, okay?"

Because Chu Jianguo and his wife both had to go to work, no one was actually taking care of the children at noon.Chuzheng Primary School has eaten with Zhuang Yi at that small dining table for six years. The aunts at the small dining table are very strict. Go out to buy and eat by yourself.As soon as he was liberated, Luo Nianli went in again.

Listening to Chen Shufen's instructions, Luo Nianli bit the bun and nodded.

"Mom, you're going to work and it's not on your way. I'll drop him off at the school gate by bike and go straight to school."

Chuzheng Elementary School and Junior High School are on the same line, so it is just right to put down Luo Nianli and ride to school.But his mother just disagreed, thinking that he was too frizzy, afraid that he would fall Luo Luo while riding a bicycle.

"School just started today, I think it's better to be safe. Just go to your school after eating."

Hearing this, Chu Zheng curled his lips, stuffed the last mouthful of steamed stuffed bun into his mouth, drank the milk in one go, took his schoolbag and went out.Luo Nianli saw that he had finished eating, so he hurried up and finished eating the buns in his hand.Chen Shufen also felt that it would be better to go to school earlier, so she settled for breakfast, tidied Luo Nianli's clothes, put on a red scarf, and went out.Only the Chief of Staff of Chu was left, looking at the dishes and bowls on the table with a dazed expression, and stuffed a mouthful of steamed stuffed buns into it. Well, today is his intention to clean up the dishes.

Luo Nianli's first class teacher was surnamed Liu, she was a young female teacher, she wasn't pretty, but she spoke kindly, and Luo Nianli felt very comfortable.Teacher Liu asked him some small life problems, and then led him into class.It was the first time for Luo Nianli to come to this kind of school. He used to be in the village. There was no such campus or playground, only three bungalows. There was a book grandfather who taught everyone how to count.Yes, it's not a teacher. There are a dozen or so children of different ages, and they all call him Grandpa Shu.His father came back from the army occasionally, and told him about the schools outside and what kind of children outside. He yearned for the school very much, but he couldn't imagine it. Now that he really came, his heart was full of shock and joy.There are many children in the class, but they all look younger than me and are alive and kicking.There are many desks and stools in the classroom, and there are beautiful blackboard drawings at the back, Luo Nianli felt his little heart was full.

As soon as he entered, the children didn't move at all, and looked at him with eyes in unison, Luo Nianli was a little nervous.After a while, I heard the bell, and Teacher Liu said to everyone, "Sit down quickly after class", and then the children quickly returned to their seats, looking at Luo Nianli curiously.Teacher Liu led Luo Nianli to the podium and said:

"Students, this is a new kid who will study with everyone in the future. Come on, everyone give him a round of applause, welcome."

There was instant applause from the audience, and Luo Nianli became even more nervous.The teacher gently pushed him

"Luo Nianli, introduce yourself to everyone."

Luo Nianli was a little confused. Last night Chu Zheng told him how to introduce himself, but now he was nervous and couldn't remember a single word.He stared blankly at the smiling little heads.

"What's your name, how old are you this year, don't be nervous, just tell me briefly."

The gentle teacher Liu taught him slowly.

"...Big... Hello everyone, my name is Luo Nianli, I am nine years old this year."

After Luo Nianli finished speaking in a low voice, several lively children immediately shouted:

"Nine years old? You are older than us. I was just seven years old."

"Pfft, your voice is so funny."

"..."

After a while of chattering, the teacher calmed everyone down and said:

"Student Luo Nianli is from another place and speaks a dialect, so it is a little different from everyone else. Children from other places speak in different ways, so don't be surprised."

Teacher Liu was afraid that Luo Nianli's accent would be ridiculed by his classmates, so he deliberately explained it. After finishing speaking, he led Luo Nianli to an empty table in the back row, and said to him:

"You sit here first, the seats of the classmates are all arranged, sit like this this semester, and after the exam next semester, the teacher will re-adjust the seat for you, okay?"

Luo Nianli looked at Mr. Liu, nodded, took off his schoolbag, and found a pencil case and textbooks from it. After Mr. Liu settled him down, the class began.

The first section is a Chinese class, even if it is a second-year class, Luo Nianli still has a bit of difficulty listening to it.Seeing that other children followed the teacher to read the textbook sentence by sentence, he didn't know how to read the words on it, so after reading a few sentences blindly, he stopped talking.After class, Teacher Liu came over and asked him a few words, but it was very difficult for him to answer.Teacher Liu patted his head comfortingly,

"It's okay, let's just take it slowly. The teacher will give you some homework alone at night. You can do it carefully at home, okay?"

Luo Nianli was a little ashamed, didn't speak, just nodded.Teacher Liu smiled at him,

"For the next class, you should familiarize yourself with it first. It doesn't matter if you don't understand, don't be unhappy."

Luo Nianli looked up at the teacher, smiled at her, and said that he understood.Teacher Liu stroked Luo Nianli's hair again, picked up the textbook and left.

Luo Nianli watched Teacher Liu off, then turned his head and lay down on the table. He missed his grandfather a little bit, and he also missed Grandpa Shushu very much.As he was distracted, someone pushed him, he turned his head to look, and it turned out to be the boy sitting next to him.Before he had time to get acquainted with the people around him, he suddenly discovered that his deskmate was a boy.

Luo Nianli looked up at him, but didn't speak, because he didn't know what to say.

"What's your name?"

The boy was leaning against the wall, with one arm resting on his own desk and the other on the desk of a classmate behind him, looking a little cool.

"My name is Luo Nianli."

Luo Nianli looked at him and said.Then both of them looked at each other, and there was no movement.

"What about you, what's your name?"

Luo Nianli took the initiative to ask.

"My name is Gao Wuyang."

The boy answered him, and there was another silence.

"You can't read?"

Gao Wuyang asked suddenly, Luo Nianli paused, blushed a little, and then nodded slightly.Gao Wuyang looked at him, turned around, changed the textbook for the next class, and didn't speak again.Luo Nianli didn't know what to say, so he passed the first day of school quietly.
