Chapter 386: Chapter 386
If you ask where is the most lively place these days, besides the Red Flag Brigade Elementary School, there’s no place more lively than here.
Every day, it’s bustling with people coming and going. During the day when kids are at school, it’s still manageable, but as soon as the kids are dismissed, it’s absolutely as lively as if there’s a fair happening.
Every single person is discussing topics loudly, making it feel like a learning center.
Indeed, it has become a learning center, although initially this place was decided by Cai Ming and the school’s Principal Wang Jianming to be a location for some people to copy books.
According to Cai Ming’s original plan, you should quickly go back to your own learning points after copying the books and start studying seriously. In the middle of winter, there’s no need to come here.
This way, it could also allow him to relax, otherwise, with these people here, Cai Ming wouldn’t be able to go back early to review his own lessons.
Cai Ming started reviewing in August, definitely two months earlier than everyone present. Not to mention, previously he hadn’t put down his studies, occasionally flipping through high school textbooks and doing exercises, but he didn’t pay much attention to them. Now Cai Ming is naturally eager to study, study.
Nationally, Cai Ming feels that there will be many people like him who haven’t given up studying. Plus, they all received some news early, which assumedly more people might know this news, so they took the initiative to prepare early, making Cai Ming really apprehensive.
However, the development of the situation was really impossible to predict. Originally intended to serve the educated youth surrounding the villages, it unexpectedly spread further, attracting more educated youths carrying dry food and paper and pen to copy textbooks.
With more people coming, there would certainly be discussions. After discussing, everyone found it much easier to read the books, so of course, they firmly insisted on continuing this discussion group, which made Cai Ming worried.
"Do you think we have to be busy until the college entrance exam?" Cai Ming really felt it would delay things significantly. He admitted distributing the textbooks was for gaining a good reputation, but he couldn’t sacrifice his own time for this so-called good reputation.
Cai Meina also found the development of this situation very unfavorable, "Can’t they just copy the books and go back to discuss on their own?"
"There are many people here." Zhan Jing thought it was quite normal for it to develop , "Otherwise, where would they go to discuss?"
Zhan Jing was worried whether the daily discussions of the educated youths would cause trouble for the kids at school, thereafter causing trouble for Cai Ming.
She turned to Cai Ming with concern, who waved his hand indicating there wasn’t much trouble, "Principal Wang said let the school kids really see what it means to study well." The most update n0vels are published on novel-fire.net
"These days, the kids at school are truly much more eager to advance." Though there’s quite a number of kids, parents who genuinely emphasize their children’s education aren’t many.
Many parents just feel like, in any case, having kids from a farm family, what good comes from reading more books, even if there is a recommendation to go to the Worker-Peasant-Soldier University, but how many slots does the commune have each year?
Not to mention that many people also just look and listen, without truly hoping, but after the news of resuming the college entrance exam came out, many still feel it has nothing to do with them, although there are quite a few visionary parents who think about many things.
"Going to the city for school, staying in the city for work, becoming a city person is seen as the most glorious thing in the countryside." Zhao Gang thought even though it’s quite utilitarian, if it can motivate a batch of kids to study hard, it’s not necessarily a bad thing.
Recently, Gong Ruini has been staying home, continuously copying test papers, continually grading the adults’ test papers. There’s no other way, the adults at home have started working hard, making several test papers every day, there has to be someone to grade them, and someone to copy the papers.
In short, Hua Miaozhu acts as the leader, leading six kids to do logistical work, ensuring Zhan Jing and others only worry about the college entrance exam, and nothing else.
Oh, Gong Tao and Zhao Gang also have to take care of some tasks, which are bringing back prey from traps, and selling chives harvested home to old customers; this isn’t just to make money but also to slightly deepen relationships with them.
Zhao Gang found out that every month the factory would have several trucks going to Beijing to pick up or deliver goods; if they could catch a ride to bring their furniture and books to Beijing, that would be great.
Indeed, the household belongings are too much. Relying solely on them, there’s no way to take them to Beijing; of course, clothes and books can be sent through mail, but furniture and some valuable items, Zhao Gang is reluctant to send via mail, due to distrust and because some items the post office wouldn’t want to accept for dispatch.
Initially thinking their relationship with Li Jian Country is quite decent, they could continue leaving them in this house, occasionally bringing some to Beijing, but now Zhao Gang doesn’t dare to take such a risk.
Gong Ruini is also worried about how to deal with so many things; if it were just her, she could store them in space and put a few things on display, but she couldn’t do that now.
Abandoning so many things really feels regrettable, especially the good wood and crafted furniture that the old man bought, which absolutely cannot be abandoned.
Thinking about it gives Gong Ruini a headache; she’s too young to even make a suggestion, even if she thinks she’s an adult, would Zhao Gang and others listen to her proposal?
Seeing Gong Ruini with a look of distress, Zhao Xuran really wants to hold his forehead, what exactly is this girl worrying about again, this girl really worries too much about many things recently.
"Ni Zi, what’s wrong with you?" Zhao Xuran asked quietly.
Previously, Zhao Xuran asked Gong Ruini what she was worried about after the fact; but this Ni Zi kept her mouth very tight, stubbornly saying nothing was bothering her.
Zhao Xuran knows that once this girl gets upset, if you suddenly ask at this time, she’ll definitely say it.
"I’m just wondering whether the furniture my dad made for me and the great wood we bought back with great difficulty would ." Hmph, trying to get her to talk, Gong Ruini has heightened her defenses a lot ever since Zhao Xuran cunningly got her to talk a few times.
Some things are fine to say, but once saying something not supposed to be said, it could lead to major issues, like matters concerning space or thoughts and comments about future situations.
These two aspects, Gong Ruini must bite down hard and dare not say a word, otherwise considering Zhao Xuran’s intelligence and ability to associate ideas, he might discover something.
Gong Ruini absolutely doesn’t underestimate Zhao Xuran’s deductive ability; caution is priority.
Yeah, what to do with these things, Gong Ruwen looked worriedly at Gong Tao; back then dad ate a lot of hardship acquiring these things, and these woods, Gong Ruwen remembers dad mentioned they were meant for his sister.
Gifts for the sister must absolutely not be abandoned, but how to move such large, long items away.
A truly concern-driving bunch of kids, yet Zhao Gang wouldn’t reveal the solution; not because he’s being a tease, but he doesn’t know whether the other party would offer assistance.
If asking turns out they can’t help, wouldn’t that leave these kids happy in vain.
Zhao Gang could only guarantee, "We will figure something out; anyway, no matter what, these things won’t be left here."
Gong Ruini really wants to roll her eyes. Isn’t such a response a bit too diplomatic? But she also knows, in an era without private transportation, moving so many items away is really not an easy task.
Never mind, if they truly are their belongings, they should follow them.
Better eat faster and go back to continue copying test papers as that’s the right path.
