In the Hong family, apart from Hong Yanru who went to work, Shui Xiaoying and Hong Yi also went to school.
It should be said that it is an important first experience in life.
Going to school for the first time, no matter who it is, is an unforgettable event, and everyone should leave a good memory.
It is a pity that although both children are first grade primary school students, they both attend Banbuqiao Primary School.
But because of the age difference, there is almost a year difference.
As a result, the memories and feelings of these two children were completely mixed with joy and sorrow.
What's going on?
Daqing Shui Xiaoying was born at the end of 1977.
According to the standard of entering school at the age of seven at that time, she was ten months overage.
As for Hong Yi, his birthday is October 29, 1978.
There are still two months left before the normal school entry age.
To be honest, don't underestimate this age gap. There is a huge difference inside and outside.
Because a child's time and an adult's time are completely different concepts.
Many parents should have had this experience.
Maybe in the first few days they were worried that their children couldn't place the building blocks stably.
But after a month or two, the child already knew how to use building blocks horizontally and vertically to build a house.
Maybe their children can't distinguish colors in the first few days.
But after two weeks, the child already knows how to pursue color classification.
And the children's surprising words from time to time will surprise parents all over the world and create the illusion that their children are language geniuses.
These phenomena are enough to illustrate the importance of time on children's ability performance.
What's more, in terms of physiological characteristics, girls' minds develop earlier than boys.
In terms of personality, Shui Xiaoying is extroverted and Hong Yi is introverted.
Physically, Shui Xiaoying eats enough, drinks enough, and exercises enough.
Not only is Hong Yi very picky about food, he often stops eating after eating snacks.
Moreover, she likes to stay at home, read little books, play with old objects, and doesn’t like to go out.
So as far as the two siblings are concerned, the gap is undoubtedly even more significant, not even a little bit different.
So it would be better if these two children really entered the school in two classes, then maybe everyone would feel very relaxed and happy.
However, at that time, the admission requirements were relatively loose, and this year the theory that "the earlier children go to school, the more advantages they have" became popular in society.
Hong Yi's father, Hong Yanzheng, neither listened to Hong Yanwu's good advice nor learned the lessons that had happened to Hong Yanwen.
(Note: Hong Yanwen should be in the 70th grade according to his age. He was the only one in the "movement" who was assigned to work and stay in the city. It was precisely because he went to school for a year early that he became an educated youth)
Instead, he listened to Lu Lu's words and forced Hong Yi to go from kindergarten to school.
As a result, there is a huge difference, and it is inevitable that things will backfire.
For Shui Xiaoying, her enrollment in school was legitimate.
The memory of this day is quite romantic and perfect.
When she got up early that morning, she dressed, washed, had breakfast, and packed her schoolbag by herself.
Aunt Shui, who had taken care of her since childhood, was only responsible for braiding her hair.
And new books, new bags, new pencil cases, everything is new.
White clothes, denim skirt, white sneakers, the clothes are even more clean and beautiful.
When she went to school, Shui Qing personally took her by the hand and sent her off.
The mother and daughter were in a very happy mood, walking together in the long alley, under the shade of the colorful trees.
It wasn't until they reached the campus gate that Shui Qing let go of Shui Xiaoying's hand.
At this time, Shui Xiaoying was a little reluctant to leave. She walked with her schoolbag on her back and looked back at Shui Qing.
And her beautiful mother stood staring at her in the soft morning sunshine.
His whole body seemed to be radiating light, and he smiled and waved to her, encouraging her to walk in by herself.
At this time, under the blue sky and white clouds, a group of pigeons were circling just passing by...
Although there is no camera to capture this scene.
But this beautiful and artistic picture still became an eternal moment, deeply embedded in Shui Xiaoying's mind forever.
So in the days to come, all she could think about was the day she went to school for the first time.
They all recalled a sacred scene and a very clear and beautiful image of their mother.
But on the other hand, Hong Yi's first day at school was nothing short of a farce.
This child is a bit confused and is very afraid of school.
So I started cheating since I got up early in the morning.
Don't get up, don't get dressed, don't eat breakfast, don't want to go to school.
He had been scolded several times by his father, and was tempted by his mother with "sugar cakes" and "sugar ears", so he reluctantly obeyed.
And after leaving the house, because I wasted time, I could only hold the food in my hand and eat while walking.
Not only was this unsightly, but it also looked insignificant. When he arrived at the school gate, this kid's mouth was full of oil and his hands were full of grease.
Xu Manli could only tell her son to listen to the truth when entering school and not to throw things away, while wiping his hands and mouth.
But at this time, Hong Yi was afraid. He had never seen so many children, and he refused to let his mother go.
And he was yelling to go to the toilet.
Xu Manli said, "Didn't you pee at home?"
He said he still wanted to pee after peeing.
So Xu Manli took him into the school to find the toilet.
The more I looked for him, the more anxious I became. I was so anxious that I stamped my feet, as if I was about to pee in my pants.
Xu Manli was more anxious than him and finally found it.
But because he needed to go in alone, he said he had no urine.
God knows where all the hard work has gone to with the urine that can't wait to soak in his belly.
The mother was naturally angry and worried, so she had no choice but to take Hong Yi and find Gu Lingye for entrustment.
Before leaving, she lifted up her son's pants, full of worry.
If nothing else, this child's hands-on ability is very poor, even at such an old age.
I still can’t tie my pants or shoelaces.
You also need to wear pants with elastic bands. Children have no hips, so their pants tend to fall down.
I'm afraid that he wants to pee during class, but he doesn't dare to say anything and holds it in, then...
Xu Manli's worries are not in vain.
As expected, Hong Yi peed his pants in the third period that day. It was Gu Lingye who changed his pants and cleaned them up. He also went home to pick up his pants.
This is also a kind of school.
But whether it is adults or children, it is obviously not related to beauty.
As for the academic gap, the gap is even greater.
Due to Shui Qing's supervision, Shui Xiaoying began to learn numbers, letters and memorize poems from the age of five.
Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan also taught her a few English words from time to time.
That first-year course was a piece of cake for her.
This girl really deserves her surname, Shui, and has completely inherited the fine tradition of ingenuity and ingenuity among Shui family girls.
He is excellent in all subjects and is the child with the best academic performance in the class. He even failed in the quizzes.
But Hong Yi, on the other hand, can only read dozens of words and can barely count from one to thirty.
To be honest, I can't even write properly, and my homework every day is as slow as a cat crawling.
To say that he and Hong Jun are worthy of being brothers, they also directly "hit the rocks" in terms of Chinese Pinyin.
But the difference is that Hong Jun didn't study hard at first, his brain and understanding ability were not bad, but later he could learn it as long as he put his heart into it.
But it's not that Hong Yi is not serious, his mind is completely confused and it is too difficult to learn.
In the class, he is the shortest one, which is not enough to explain the problem.
Therefore, even if he is not lazy, it will be difficult to achieve the ideal learning effect and make up for this gap in time.
Like September 8, the first weekend of school, Xu Manli finally discovered the seriousness of the problem.
That day she saw Hong Yi working hard on his homework, and she was very happy.
But when she opened the first page of the Chinese language book, wanting to test Hong Yi's ability, she pointed at the big pinyin letter Q and asked him to read it.
I didn't expect that he didn't know him.
Then I asked him and he couldn't pronounce the following o, e, i, u, v.
So Xu Manli got angry on the spot and slapped the table.
"What have you been doing in class?"
Unexpectedly, Hong Yi looked at her blankly, as if he was also asking her, "Yes, why did I go?"
Xu Manli felt that something was wrong from her son's confusion when he heard the book from heaven.
So a comprehensive inspection began.
Well, this time it's even sadder.
Because his son not only didn't know the alphabet, he also didn't know the four tones.
The simplest four sounds of "a" made him speak, and he uttered an indistinct "Ah...ah...ah..." like a mute.
I’ve been taught the four tones seven or eight times and still can’t do it.
Xu Manli gradually lost her patience and slapped the table and yelled at him.
"You are not a foreigner, so you still don't know how to speak your own words?"
Hong Yi cried aggrievedly and said, "I can speak words, but I can't speak the four tones."
"If you don't know how to speak, you have to speak. Follow me and learn! If you make a mistake in pronouncing it once, I'll show you."
Mothers have their own reasons, so Hong Yi spoke out in a tearful voice and fearfully.
There is no suspense. Naturally, there are many wrongs and few right, and there are "slaps" and slaps in between.
But soon, even Xu Manli couldn't bear it anymore.
"No, if I hit you, my hand will still hurt."
At this time, Hong Yi's weakness of low IQ became more apparent.
He actually took the initiative to hand over the instruments of torture.
"Mom, please use a ruler."
But there were mistakes, and Xu Manli couldn't bear it anymore.
He just shook his head and sighed.
But I didn't expect that what happened next would be even more annoying.
Hong Yi's filial piety was in vain, and he did not escape a more severe punishment.
"I asked, why do you always pronounce the e like "hungry, hungry"?"
"That's what the teacher taught."
"Nonsense, your Chinese teacher is not from Shaanxi, so you can still say 'I' as 'hungry'."
"Our teacher... hehe, she is... from Shanxi."
"Shanxi people?"
"That's right. Your hometown is also from Shanxi. My grandma and grandpa can't pronounce e, so they call it 'hungry'. You always call it 'hungry'..."
"I, I..."
The climax of the reprimand ended when a burst of black, choking smoke drifted into the kitchen.
This directly triggered Xu Manli's panic and sudden realization.
"I'm going to give you a damn lesson. The whole pot of meat on my fire will be burnt! Brat! We'll talk about it later..."
