Views:

On September 1, the weather was fine and the autumn breeze was cool.

Qian Mai woke up early and helped Qian Liqin set the fire. After eating, Qian Liqin left the dishes and chopsticks and did not tidy up, and hurriedly fed the pigs. The whole family went to the front grocery store to help Qian's grandparents.

Yang Yong did not go to the field today. One is that the grocery store will be very busy today, and the other is today is an important day for my daughter to start a journal. Coming to the front, Yang Yong picked up a stool in each hand and placed it under the window of a grocery store on the highway, and came back to carry a small bamboo bed frame. The family went in and out, and placed today's main products on bamboo beds. They were all daily necessities such as thermos, washbasins, buckets, towels, soap, and lunch boxes. In the store, Qianjia's grandparents had already placed school supplies such as pens, inks, papers and inkstones in a conspicuous place.

It is said that you get up early, others get up earlier than you. Before the division of labor in the Qianjia grocery store had time, people from nearby natural villages walked more than a dozen miles of mountain roads, carrying quilts and boxes to send their children along the road to the school. Qian Mai took the small bench and sat down outside the wall of the grocery store. The task of Master Qian Jia was to guard the goods as security.

Seeing the men and women passing by, Qian Mai's heart was moved. Sweaty face, sweaty vest shirt, and even a sweat-wiping towel hung around his neck, are also moist. The shoulder poles on the spine show the weight of the box, all of which are slightly curved. What a deep and great love! It's a pity that there is no camera or internet. Otherwise, the photos will be taken and posted on the Internet, which will surely move a lot of people. Dear friends can also come to the conclusion: the original "send child group" has already existed since the beginning of school.

These children who need their parents to pick up the quilt box and send them are not from the village, most of them are pupils from Primary Four and Primary Five. Because Nanjiang rural natural village has only elementary school and no high school, these children will go to Nanjiang Township Central School to become small residential students after finishing the third grade in their village. In addition to picking up luggage and paying school fees for their young children, parents have another job to find a safe and comfortable place for their children. The school does not have a dormitory building, so all the students who live on campus are placed in private houses by their parents. This is also the reason why the parents rushed early, who didn't want to find a kind and friendly place for their children close to the school and the landlord. As for the students who live in junior high schools, some are sent by their parents, and some come to school by themselves in groups. They are all familiar with them, so they are relatively late.

The business in the Qianjia grocery store is pretty good in the morning. Stationery items such as pencils, ball-point pens, and erasers were gone for a little while, and most of the necessary supplies such as buckets, washbasins, and lunch boxes were gone. Many students who live on campus did not catch up with the steaming time at noon, and most of the parents bought snacks for them, so they also left some biscuit sodas. The students came in droves, and although four adults were present inside and outside the Qianjia grocery store, they couldn't help but feel overwhelmed. Especially the Qianjia grandfather, he was just assigned to teach junior and elementary schools in several nearby villages when he was young, and many of the parents of these "send children group" were his early students. So many people say hello to him today, and some ask him if there is a house for rent at home, saying that the child lives in the teacher’s house and feels relieved. The grandfathers of Qianjia all responded with a smile, saying that there is no room in the house at home, but he also introduced them to a few people who are interested in renting out houses, and let their children have time to play at home in the future.

Being so busy, Meier Lan entered the grocery store through the back door with a calm face, followed by Qian Xiaofen who was pulling her head and wiping her tears. Lan Meier started chattering as soon as she entered the door, while stating that the school wanted Xiaofen to repeat the grade, but she still couldn't forget to scold Qian Xiaofen. In the end, he said to Qianjia Grandpa again: "My uncle, can you help me talk to the school leader and let Xiaofen continue to the second grade. I'm going to repeat the grade, and the tuition for the previous year was in vain." "

The Qianjia grandfather listened silently and found change for the parents of the students outside the window. He turned around and said to Lan Meier sternly: "Sister Lan, this is not because I refuse to help, but the problem is that the child’s academic performance is not good. Failing the first grade, and then going to the second grade will definitely be very difficult, maybe you will fail again. Looking at it from another angle, repetition is not a bad thing, at least it can help the child to lay a solid foundation, and the effect of learning in the future may be certain. will be better."

Several parents of students who heard it outside the window also said yes. One of them also gave an example of the son of XX who failed in the first grade and repeated the grade for a year. The foundation was laid, and his academic performance was very good later.

Qian's grandmother and Qian Liqin also relieved Meier Lan for a while, and instructed Qian Xiaofen to work harder next time.

Seeing what Qian's grandfather said, she was busy watching the shop, and led Qian Xiaofen out of the back door, muttering to Qian Xiaofen: "Let's see how your parents will clean up you in the future."
