Just like that, He Yuzhu went back and forth between the rolling mill and the courtyard house every day. He noticed that Qin Huairu had not come to provoke him during this period of time. Even when they bumped into each other, Qin Huairu would just smile and greet him before leaving. At the same time, Xu Damao did not argue with him anymore. If they bumped into each other on the road or in the courtyard, Xu Damao would not talk back to him. Instead, he would smile and greet him.
Although He Yuzhu felt that Qin Huiru and Xu Damao were acting weird and abnormal, he did not take it to heart. He was happy that this was good. He did not provoke them, and they did not provoke him. It was best for them to live their own lives.
The days slowly passed. The new semester was about to begin. His sister, He Yushui, had another leisurely holiday and was about to welcome a new academic career.
This morning, He Yuzhu, the Deaf Old Lady, and the other seven were having breakfast prepared by an auntie when Yi Zhonghai suddenly said,""Rainwater, are you going to be a freshman in a few days?”
" Yes, Grandpa Yi," He Yushui said happily." I have to go to school in seven days. I can't wait."”
He Yuzhu glanced at his sister and said expressionlessly,""I don't think you can't wait to learn, but you can't wait to show off your bicycle at your new school.”
"Brother, how can you say that about me? I'm not happy.”He Yushui pouted unhappily.
Zhao Wanqiu quickly smiled and said," Zhu Zi, don't make Yu Shui angry. Yu Shui, you have to study hard now that school has started. You have to strive to get into a university in the future. This way, our family will have a university student."”
" Yes, Sister-in-law." He Yushui smiled and nodded." Don't worry. I'll study hard."”
He Yuzhu reminded his sister a few more times and looked at Zhao Yiqiu who was busy eating. He smiled and said,"Yi Qiu, you little glutton, stop eating. Look at yourself, your face is round from eating. If you continue eating, you will become a little pig.”
Zhao Wanqiu rolled her eyes at He Yuzhu and looked at Zhao Yiqiu who was still eating beside her. She couldn't help but pinch her sister's chubby little face and said with a smile,""Zhu Zi, what nonsense are you talking about? Look at how cute Yi Qiu is now.”
Zhao Yi Qiu looked at her sister who had interrupted her meal with a dumbfounded expression. She unhappily pushed away the hand that was pinching her face and then started eating again. Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they saw this scene.
After the meal, He Yuzhu sat beside Zhao Yiqiu, who had a satisfied look on her face. He happily pinched her small round face and asked with a smile,""Yiqiu, how's your sister and Sister Yushui's tutoring for you these past few months?”
"Sis…Husband... I'll... Sister Rainwater…Primary school…The textbooks were all…I've seen it." Zhao Yiqiu said with difficulty.
"Yeah, our little Yi Qiu is so smart. Brother-in-law has to praise you.”As he spoke, He Yuzhu pinched her red and cute little face.
Zhao Wanqiu smiled and said to He Yuzhu,""Alright, stop bullying Yiqiu and don't listen to her nonsense. Yiqiu did read all of Yushui's books, but she just couldn't understand them. It's been so long since Yushui and I managed to barely get her to grasp the knowledge of the first to third grades, and she only knows a little about the knowledge of the fourth grade.”
He Yuzhu was stunned when he heard that. He asked in disbelief,""Didn't Yi Qiu go to the third grade? Why are the textbooks so difficult now?”
Zhao Wanqiu looked at He Yuzhu's speechless expression and smiled,""This sister of mine, she never studied hard back in our hometown. Her grades were average when I tutored her every day. These days, both I and Yu Shui tutored her, but Yi Qiu would become muddle-headed when she sat down to read. When it comes to eating and playing, she would be full of energy. She's hopeless. She's not cut out for studying in this life. I think it's better to let her stay at home and not send her to school.”
Zhao Yiqiu also said to He Yuzhu with anticipation,""Brother-in-law, I don't want to study or go to school.”
He Yuzhu ignored Zhao Yiqiu's words and said to Zhao Wanqiu,""Uh, she still has to study. Yiqiu is still so young, it's not a good idea for her to stay at home. Besides, it's not like I can't afford her to study. Even if she can't learn much in school, it's good to get to know some classmates and make some friends. Besides, Yiqiu is just young and doesn't want to study, but it's not like she's not smart. Maybe in a few years when Yiqiu is sensible, her studies will improve by leaps and bounds.”
Zhao Wanqiu looked at He Yuzhu with a touched expression and said,""Zhu Zi, it's so good to have met you in this life.”
"Me too."
......
The next day, He Yuzhu packed five catties of cornmeal and went to the front yard to look for Third Uncle Yan Bugui. Third Uncle was washing his bicycle at the door. He Yuzhu smiled and shouted,"Third Uncle, I'm busy. I have something to tell you.”
Third Master Yan Bugui raised his head and saw He Yuzhu. He adjusted his glasses and saw the cloth bag in his hand. He smiled and asked,""Silly Zhu, why are you looking for me?”
"Third Master, it's nothing serious. I'm planning to let Yi Qiu go to school. She used to study for three years and now wants to go straight to the fourth grade. I want you to bring me to the principal of Red Star Primary School and help put in a good word for me.”
Yan Bugui took the bag and felt that it weighed about five pounds. He said happily,"No problem, Silly Zhu. Leave this matter to Third Master. You just have to go to school with me in a few days.”He Yuzhu smiled and chatted with Third Uncle for a while before going home.
A few days later, before He Yuzhu got off work, he went to ask for a day off from the cafeteria's director, Director Wang, to deal with He Yushui and Zhao Yiqiu's school matters.
The next day, school reopened. Early in the morning, He Yuzhu brought Zhao Yiqiu and First Uncle to Red Star Primary School. Under First Uncle's lead, He Yuzhu quickly met the principal of Red Star Primary School.
The principal of Red Star Primary School was surnamed Lin. He was in his fifties. At first glance, he looked like a knowledgeable, elegant, and easy-going person. When he saw Third Master Yan Bugui and He Yuzhu, he smiled and asked,"Teacher Yan, why are you looking for me?"
He Yuzhu quickly went forward to explain his intentions. After Principal Lin understood the situation, he asked Zhao Yiqiu a few more questions. Seeing that Zhao Yiqiu answered well, he smiled happily and said to He Yuzhu,"Comrade He, your sister's knowledge is quite good. She can go straight to the fourth grade.”
He Yuzhu thanked him profusely, and Zhao Yiqiu also smiled and thanked Principal Lin. Principal Lin smiled and arranged Zhao Yiqiu's class. After He Yuzhu paid the tuition fees, he asked He Yuzhu to collect the textbooks. He would come to school tomorrow. He Yuzhu bade farewell to the principal and collected the new textbooks under Third Uncle's lead. Then, he left the school with Zhao Yiqiu.
After that, He Yuzhu and Zhao Yiqiu went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some school supplies such as a pencil, exercise book, and a pencil case. As for the school bag, He Yuzhu drew a drawing based on the appearance of the school bag in the future. Although the drawing was ugly, Zhao Wanqiu still made one based on it. The finished product was not bad. Even his sister, He Yushui, couldn't bear to part with it and asked his sister-in-law, Zhao Wanqiu, to make one for her.
After buying the things, He Yuzhu brought Zhao Yiqiu home.
