Pingyang County, Zhao Wenmu’s home.

The enrollment procedures for the two little ones have been completed a long time ago, and they are in Dongguan Primary School not far from the nursing home community.

After Zhao Wenyan and Zhang Zhenshan bought a new house, their family registration moved to the city, so Zhang Yuanming could naturally enroll in Dongguan Primary School.

And Zhao Zimeng's admission procedures were not troublesome.

Li Guofu, the director of the state-owned hotel, acted as a bridge, and Zhao Wenmu invited someone to have a "light meal" at the old Zhao's crayfish restaurant, and the matter was resolved.

He still has this bit of face.

In any case, the name Zhao Wenmu is well known in Pingyang County and even Quancheng City.

Zhao Wenmu took the two children over without any special idea, just to let them get used to it first.

However, these two people depended on Zhao Wenmu every day, so they had no problem adapting to life in the city.

Even so, Zhao Wenmu is still a little worried about whether Zhao Zimeng's child can successfully integrate into the new school.

Perhaps because of his decades of life experience in his previous life, Zhao Wenmu always has an old man's mentality. Especially when it comes to the children at home, he is almost extremely patient and caring.

Sometimes I care a little too much.

Zhao Zimeng was in first grade in Toucun, Shandong Province.

Although Shandongtou Village is the largest and best village nearby, it is still a rural area, and conditions are still very difficult in the early 1980s.

The gap between urban and rural areas is still very obvious.

Zhao Wenmu used to go to primary school in Toucun, Shandong, and is very familiar with this school.

When Zhao Zimeng went to school, the school was still the same old building as before, and the overall conditions had hardly changed.

There are only six adobe buildings in the entire school, and dozens of children usually crowd into one classroom for classes.

Teacher resources are extremely scarce, and one teacher has to be responsible for several courses and even teach across several grades. For example, a first-grade Chinese teacher may also serve as a third-grade art teacher.

After all, courses such as art and physical education do not have professional teachers.

In the low and dilapidated classroom, the white plaster walls have long been mottled and peeled off, the tamped soil floor has long been pitted and uneven, and even the posters and celebrity quotes posted on the walls are somewhat yellowed and faded.

In the small courtyard in front of the classroom, there are only a few poplar trees that are growing well.

These trees were planted when Zhao Wenqiu was in school. Zhao Wenmu remembered that the little girl brought home a small section of branches, saying that they would grow into big trees if they were planted in the soil.

Within a few days, the branches completely dried up and died. The little girl hugged Zhao Jing and cried loudly.

Zhao Wenmu made fun of him for many years.

There is a short flagpole in the small courtyard. After class, the children play shuttlecock, jump rubber bands, and pick up stones in this small courtyard.

In short, they are all games that do not require professional equipment.

Although it is simple, it is also happy.

In the small campus, the most colorful place is probably the simple flower garden in front of the classroom.

The teachers planted roses inside, and every year they also planted some red bunches, cockscombs, chrysanthemums and other flowers.

Whenever flowers are in season, teachers will carefully dig them out, wrap them in soil, and distribute them to students.

The students regarded these flowers as treasures and carefully took them home and planted them in the soil.

Zhao Wenmu still feels warm in his heart when he recalls this scene.

In this era when food and clothing have consumed almost all of our energy, the act of planting flowers not only cultivates children's hands-on ability, but also plants a sense of hope and romance.

When these flowers are brought home, not only the children, but also their parents, the farmers who work with their backs to the sky and their faces facing the loess, will also take good care of them.

In winter, teachers will seal the front and rear windows of the classroom as tightly as possible, and cover the back wall of the classroom with dense corn stalks to isolate the howling cold wind as much as possible.

Even so, the entire classroom was not much warmer than the freezing and snowy outside.

Only on the coldest days would a fire be lit in the classroom stove, because coal was expensive and firewood was scarce.

Heating in winter is a luxury.

In the past, Zhao Wenmu's family never lit a fire to keep warm in winter.

This is the school where Zhao Wenmu and his entire Zhao family studied, and it is also the school where Zhao Zimeng studied for a year.

When everyone around you is the same, you don't think it's shabby or hard.

However, Dongguan Primary School is the best primary school in Pingyang County.

Not only does it have spacious and bright red brick classrooms, but it also has the only cement playground in the county, although it is very small.

In addition, there are also table tennis tables, football and other sports equipment.

As well as a team of teachers with higher academic qualifications.

From all aspects, it completely crushed Shandong Toucun Primary School.

Zhao Wenmu was happy that his two younger students had better learning conditions, but he was also worried that Zhao Zimeng would develop an inferiority complex or be rejected by his classmates due to the change in environment.

This old father’s mentality of worrying about gains and losses!

Fortunately, the little guy is still young. Children of this age can easily play together, so there is no need to worry too much.

Zhao Wenmu prepared a start-of-school gift package for the two little ones, including pencil cases, pencils, erasers, pencil sharpeners, and notebooks.

Practical but not ostentatious.

In fact, he also bought a very cute backpack, but after observing it, he decided not to give it to them for the time being.

Because no one in the school is carrying such a good schoolbag at the moment.

Being able to carry a grass-green military satchel across the shoulder is already considered a student from a very good family. Most students carry bags hand-sewn by their parents.

It's like the kind of bag that the aunts of later generations would carry when shopping for groceries.

It is not a good thing to be a transfer student and carry a schoolbag that is too eye-catching.

School bullying can ruin a child's life. Zhao Wenmu will never allow this to happen!

Liu Xiumei temporarily stayed at Zhao Wenmu's house. After all, it was her son. She was still a little worried in the first few days of school.

Mainly because I'm worried about him getting into trouble at school.

The two children have played together since childhood, and now they eat together every day, go to school together, and come home from school together. They are so happy.

Liu Xiumei stayed for a few days and then went back. After all, her family was too busy harvesting mushrooms and so on.

Zhao Wenmu stared at the two little carrot heads every day.

He was already very concerned about his nephews, and he paid more and more attention to them these days.

If something goes wrong, I really can't explain it to my eldest sister or sister-in-law.

Taking care of four students, two seniors, two juniors, and a little girl, this dull but fulfilling life will continue for a long time.

In these days, some new changes have quietly taken place in Pingyang County.
