In Zhou Xiaoyun's eager anticipation and joy, a month passed in the blink of an eye.
On the day of reporting, Zhou Guoqiang got up early and called Zhou Guomin's home. The one who answered the phone happened to be Song Mingli.
Song Mingli said on the phone: "Second brother, you can rest assured to bring Da Yu over, I'll go to the school gate to meet you at that time."
Zhou Guoqiang felt relieved in his heart and hung up the phone, urging Zhou Xiaoyun to hurry up.
Zhou Xiaoyun specially wore a white shirt and suspenders skirt, braiding her hair into a long braid that hung down to her waist.
Hmm, Xiaoshu is a perfect girl, 100 points.
Zhou Xiaoyun took a photo from the left and then from the right, finally coming out under Zhou Guoqiang's urging.
Dabao actually goes to school tomorrow, today is the day for new students to report and pay fees, he doesn't need to go at all. However, Dabao, who has been bored at home, insists on going with them to join in the excitement.
Thinking that Da Bao's car was more convenient than his own, Zhou Guoqiang agreed to take him along.
Xiao Bao blinked his eyes, wanting to follow, but unfortunately, being small had no right to speak. He looked at his brother Da Bao with red eyes as he rode his bicycle with Zhou Guoqiang and Zhou Xiaoyun.
Zhou Guoqiang refused to let Zhou Xiaoyun ride alone, insisting on riding with her himself. Feeling her father's loving intentions, Zhou Xiaoyun didn't raise any objections and obediently got on the bike.
Dabao wanted to show off his superb cycling skills, first with one hand on the handlebars, then both hands let go, and the bike wobbled forward but somehow didn't fall.
Zhou Xiaoyun's crisp laughter entered Zhou Guoqiang's ears, and Zhou Guoqiang was also very happy and relieved. As for Dabao's behavior, he just frowned and ordered him not to let both hands go slack.
Dabao thought he was very cool, using one hand to hold the handlebars and pedaling quickly against the wind.
Zhou Xiaoyun couldn't help but burst out laughing. Da Bao's "rascal" personality really can't be changed no matter what.
He thought he was early enough, but when he arrived at the entrance of Yingming Middle School, he found that there were already many people gathered in front of the gate. It seemed that they were all parents and students who came to register and pay fees, and there were indeed a lot of people.
Zhou Guoqiang squeezed through the crowd with two children, finally reaching the entrance, but the big gate had not opened yet and they could only wait at the entrance.
It was said that it wouldn't open until 8 o'clock, and the adults crowded at the entrance started chatting with each other, familiar or not.
At last a 'gatekeeper' opened the big 'door', and parents with their children swarmed in.
Zhou Guoqiang and Zhou Xiaoyun followed the crowd into the campus with Dabao.
Zhou Xiaoyun looked around the campus. She had only glanced at the main gate from afar, and her impression was that it was a very large and majestic middle school.
The high school and junior high school departments of Yingming Middle School are separated by a wall, with two large 'gates' leading in. I heard that the high school department is much larger than the junior high school department.
It seems to Zhou Xiaoyun now that even the campus of the junior high school department is big enough.
The estimated area is at least seven or eight times larger than Xingwang Primary School, center
The road is a clean and spacious cement road, with long flower beds on both sides where flowers, trees and other things are planted. On both sides are teaching buildings, all of which are three stories high and there are several buildings.
Behind it, there is a large playground with a circular running track, basketball hoop, table tennis table and other facilities that can accommodate two to three thousand people. The playground has lush green grass, and when students are free, they can kick a football on the lawn, which must be very pleasant.
What most attracted Zhou Xiaoyun's attention was a long row of glass display windows, filled with calligraphy and painting works or excellent essays. Zhou Xiaoyun looked at them one by one, and couldn't help but gasp in surprise, it seemed that this place was indeed full of talented people!
Dabao was also here for the first time, and he was most interested in the playground. He said to Zhou Xiaoyun: "Big sister, our school's playground is not as big as this one, and the teaching building is not as new as this one, there are more of them here."
Of course, this is the best school in the county.
Zhou Xiaoyun felt a surge of pride in her heart, and a strange sense of excitement.
Yingming Middle School, Zhou Xiaoyun is here!
Song Mingli stood at the school gate for half a day, seeing people coming and going, but not catching a glimpse of Zhou Guoqiang and Zhou Xiaoyun's figures, her heart couldn't help but feel anxious.
Just as Song Mingli was about to enter the campus to look for someone, she suddenly saw Zhou Guoqiang, Zhou Xiaoyun and Da Bao walking towards the main gate. She raised her hand to signal that she was there.
As soon as they met, Song Mingli complained: "Second brother, didn't I tell you to wait for me at the school gate? Why did you bring the kid into the campus again, making me search for half a day and almost worried to death.
This year I'm also arranged to teach first-year Chinese language and literature, and have to serve as class advisor too, there's a lot of work!
Zhou Guoqiang hastily laughed and explained: "The kids wanted to take a walk around the campus, I thought you weren't coming so I took them for a spin to get familiar with it. Didn't expect that in just this short while, you'd arrive, really sorry about that."
Song Mingli felt a bit embarrassed as Zhou Guoqiang apologized to her, and they exchanged a few polite words.
Dabao's sister raised an eyebrow: "Daliao, do you think you'll be assigned to San Shu's class?"
Zhou Xiaoyun shrugged: "Of course I want to, but where can such a coincidence happen?"
It would be best if I could be assigned to San Shu's class, with a language teacher and class advisor like San Shu, I would definitely receive more care in the class.
Although I don't like to take the back door, who wouldn't want to take it if there is a back door available?
Song Mingli took a few people to the accounting office, reported Xiaoyun's name last week, 'handed over' the admission notice and took out her household registration book for basic registration, and then 'handed over' the tuition fees.
Zhou Guoqiang thought to himself, "The school is good, but the tuition fees are so expensive. Last year, Dabao's tuition was not cheap either, but this year, Zhou Xiaoyun's tuition is actually 50% more expensive than Dabao's."
No wonder there are few rural children who come to the city to attend middle school, first because the journey is long, second because the admission scores are high, and third because the tuition fees are expensive, how many families can afford to let their children come here?
However, Zhou Guoqiang didn't care about this money at all.
As long as the child is good and can attend a good middle school, he will spare no expense. Who is all this hard work and busyness for?
Isn't it all for the children?
Let Xiaobao and Er Ya both come to the city to study tomorrow, if they can't get into university, taking a vocational or junior college exam is still better than going out to work.
Zhou Guoqiang thought of this and felt delighted in his heart, thinking that the prospects were all beautiful.
After finishing paying tuition fees and getting the invoice, Zhou Guoqiang took his children to follow Song Mingli to see which class Zhou Xiaoyun was assigned to.
A large red paper has just been posted outside the teaching building, with dense names on it.
The parents all crowded around, it was impossible to squeeze in.
Song Mingli also just knew that she was in charge of the first year this year, and she only knew that she was the language teacher and class advisor of Class 4 this year, without even knowing how many students there were or what they looked like.
Song Mingli had the heart to go to the teaching office to check the list, but was afraid that the teaching office would be busy today and might not be convenient, so she could only let Zhou Guoqiang find it slowly here.
Song Mingli herself went to the classroom to wait for new students to report.
