The registration for Junsha Public Primary School had already started. Parents only needed to prepare the materials required to register, but there were still scenes of overnight queues at the entrance of many primary schools.
How pitiful parents are!
Times had changed, and many things had to be dealt with and responded to. The hearts and ideas of the older generation could not keep up with the times.
For example, the registration for Junsha Public Primary School was done online and on the spot. The education department had repeatedly emphasized and confirmed that children of the right age in the school district would be enrolled. The class arrangement was also randomly generated by the computer. However, some parents still thought that if they queued overnight, they must give them the best priority. Otherwise, they would prepare a family to cause trouble.
There were also some people with ulterior motives who spread information such as the quota limit, the first grade was saturated, the signing of real estate developers, and so on, causing the parents to feel nervous.
Zhou Shuling had already registered online. The registration for first grade students was divided into "household with house", "household without house", "house without house", "no house without house", and so on. Zhou Dongdong's household registration had always been here. Now that she had bought a house and completed the transfer procedures, the registration went smoothly. However, Zhou Shuling still felt uneasy, so she tried to register at a very popular private primary school.
Of course, private primary schools did not guarantee that everyone could enroll. Primary school entrance examinations were mandatory. Unsurprisingly, Zhou Dongdong was happily eliminated during the entrance examination.
"You really have nothing better to do." Liu Changan carried the vegetables and listened to Zhou Shuling's complaints about how difficult it was to go to primary school.
"I can go to first grade when I grow up!" Zhou Dongdong carried an empty school bag and was elated.
"Why don't you go back into my stomach when you grow up? I want to give birth to another one. " Zhou Shuling hated the teacher in charge of the primary school's entrance examination to look at her with sympathy. At that time, she was naturally proud and disdainful, but when she returned home, she would definitely beat up Zhou Dongdong.
"You don't have a husband, how are you going to give birth?" Zhou Dongdong asked curiously and somewhat reassured. "If I give birth to another me, will I still be so amazing?"
"How are you amazing?" Liu Changan could not see it at all. "Eating three bowls of rice for a meal is your best ability, right?"
"Yes!"
"That pig can eat as much as a bathtub in one meal. Pigs are much better than you."
"Really?!" Zhou Dongdong's eyes widened in disbelief.
Zhou Shuling sighed. "Today, the other children had a talent show. They sang, danced, did crosstalk, drew, played the harmonica, and so on … I asked her to dance, but when she got on stage, she forgot. She took out two dates from her pocket and told the teacher that she wanted to eat two dates at the same time."
"I've been waiting for so long. I'm hungry …" Zhou Dongdong reached into her pockets. She had finished eating the dates. When she was hungry, she could only think of things related to food. Wasn't it natural?
"This won't do." Liu Changan shook his head at Zhou Shuling. "It's dangerous to eat two dates at the same time. Zhou Dongdong, you have to perform eating two dumplings at the same time next time."
"I love this kind of performance!"
Zhou Shuling punched Liu Changan and Zhou Dongdong in anger.
When they got home, Zhou Shuling asked Liu Changan to stop cooking. She took the groceries that Liu Changan bought and prepared to go to the kitchen.
Of course, Zhou Shuling would not really only cook crayfish. She just liked to eat crayfish, so she only made crayfish for supper.
When it was time to eat, Zhou Dongdong brought a basin to fill the rice. She wanted to prove herself, but she was scolded by Zhou Shuling. She could only eat three bowls of rice and felt that she was not amazing at all.
Liu Changan saw a packed box in the living room. Zhou Shuling said that it was her winter clothes, so she packed them first.
Liu Changan took 50 yuan and then helped Zhou Shuling and Zhou Dongdong move their winter clothes upstairs. He looked at the lunar calendar. Tomorrow would be a good day, so he made an appointment to move tomorrow.
Zhou Shuling wanted to say that it was impossible to live without a man at home. Fortunately, she met Liu Changan. But when she saw that Liu Changan was no longer the young boy she knew at the beginning, she couldn't say it. After all, they were adults, so it was inevitable that it would be a bit ambiguous. They got along well, so she had to be careful not to be awkward, in case he avoided anything.
"Brother Chang 'an, then we'll move upstairs, and you'll move in here?" Zhou Dongdong asked in anticipation.
Liu Changan thought for a moment and nodded.
"Then I will jump in the room in the future. If you hear it, come and play with me!"
"I will beat you up when I come up."
"I will hide under the bed."
"Then you will be beaten up by your mother."
"Why do they all beat me!"
"Yeah, so pitiful."
Zhou Dongdong thought for a moment, sniffled and hummed twice. She felt that she was pitiful and cried out. But Zhou Dongdong was not really afraid, because Brother Changan would only say it. Other than patting her butt, he would never really beat Zhou Dongdong like his mother did.
Zhou Shuling squeezed three glasses of juice. Zhou Dongdong immediately held the juice and sat on a small stool and quietly drank it.
"Give me 200 yuan, I will treat someone to dinner and help you settle the matter of Zhou Dongdong's studies." Liu Changan looked at Zhou Dongdong who was focused on drinking the juice and shook his head.
"Okay!" Zhou Shuling was very surprised. Although she had always thought that those who could play tricks on things like elementary school degrees were extremely powerful people, how could a high school student like Liu Changan be able to settle it with 200 yuan? If it was true, there were many people who were willing to pay 20,000 or even 200,000 yuan. But a high school student, 200 yuan, except for Zhou Shuling, no one would believe it.
Zhou Shuling immediately sent a red envelope to Liu Changan. She sat upright with her hands on her knees, looking forward to Liu Changan receiving the red envelope.
Liu Changan called Qin Yanan.
It took a while for the phone to be connected.
"Cousin." Liu Changan's attitude was very proper. After all, he was asking for help, "Zhou Dongdong is going to elementary school. Can you find the best school near our neighborhood? The key is to greet the teacher. I hope he is gentle and patient, the kind of teacher who will not mistreat students with poor grades."
There was no sound from the other end of the phone.
While Liu Changan was puzzled, he heard the reply, "Okay."
The voice was relatively low, and it was not clear whether there was any emotion in it, but it was obviously a little different from the usual Qin Yanan.
"Do you like Zhou Dongdong very much?" Qin Yanan still asked in a very low voice.
"I think a stupid child needs more love, which is the meaning of social justice. She can still be educated well, and can't give up so early."
"I'm smart …" Zhou Dongdong finished the juice. When she heard the words "stupid child", she subconsciously refuted, but was immediately covered by Zhou Shuling to stop her from disturbing Liu Changan's phone call. Zhou Shuling was nervously looking forward to it.
"Okay, send me her name and the ID number on the household register."
Liu Changan gestured to Zhou Shuling, and Zhou Shuling quickly took out the household register from the bag on the sofa. Liu Changan read the number to Qin Yanan.
"Okay, wait for my good news." Qin Yanan was ready to hang up the phone.
"I'll treat you to dinner, I'll cook."
"Okay."
Liu Changan hung up the phone, and his mood was slightly affected. People were always the most easily affected by habits. He was used to the tone and mood when Qin Yanan talked to him, but now her change actually affected Liu Changan … It seemed that he was still a little absent-minded and easily merged the feelings of Qin Yanan and Ye Sijin together. Otherwise, Liu Changan would not notice the attitude of ordinary people.
What was going on? Liu Changan put down the phone and drank the juice.
"That's it?" Zhou Shuling carried Zhou Dongdong, which was really strenuous.
"No problem. She knows someone from the education department. She found a nearby elementary school, so it's convenient for her to go to and from school. "
Zhou Dongdong opened her mouth and looked at Liu Changan in a daze. "I'm going to be locked in an elementary school!"
Liu Changan continued to nod.
How could this happen? She clearly failed to register, and her mother clearly said that she was going to shove her back into her stomach, and she clearly wanted to wait until she grew up before going to elementary school. She already began to look forward to the beautiful life of a child under the parasol tree, sitting on a small stool and feeding loaches. How could it suddenly change?
Children were so difficult.
Liu Changan finished the juice and went downstairs. He packed his things and planned to move upstairs after Zhou Shuling moved tomorrow.
His things were mainly a few sets of clothes, some daily tools, spatula, kitchen utensils, and so on. The rest were the books that accumulated over time.
By the time he finished packing, it was already midnight. Liu Changan walked out of the room and looked around. He felt that whether it was Mrs. Carnstein or the third wife, they seemed to have stopped for a while.
At least there was no one in the neighborhood to watch them. It seemed that the words he wrote on the electric pole had an effect.
Maybe it was because of other reasons, but Liu Changan was not very concerned.
He went to the carriage as usual to take a look. The coffin seemed to be upright and peaceful, not as full of the feeling of a ghost story as before. Even if he did not give it to the little hen, it would be safe. Even if he gave it to the little hen, it would still eat it. It looked very easy to take care of, and it had some of the reservations of the queen of the harem.
"Dandan, something happened last night that confirmed the magic of this coffin." Liu Changan exclaimed softly. "Have you heard of the story of the nine dragons pulling the coffin?"
Naturally, Shanghai Dandan had not heard of it.
"Life is the greatest miracle in the world. In the vast universe, in the boundless starry sky, many people speculate that Earth may be the only source of life … Speaking of which, on June 11th, 2010, outside the International Space Station, in the cold and dark universe, nine behemoths were motionless, as if they had been there since ancient times, giving people a feeling of endless desolation and antiquity. Those were actually nine dragon corpses!"
"They are no different from the dragons in the myths and legends."
"Each dragon corpse was a hundred meters long, and black iron chains as thick as the mouth of a bowl were tied to the end of their tails. They were connected to the dark universe behind the nine dragon corpses, where a bronze coffin that was 20 meters long quietly floated."
At this point, Liu Changan paused. "Of course, I know that this coffin of yours did not have nine dragons pulling it. Although with your status, according to the story of the Son of Heaven slaying the dragon in our traditional culture, having nine dragons pulling the coffin for you is not unworthy of your status. But the key is that based on my experience, regrettably, on our Earth, there are no dragons in the myths and legends."
Liu Changan gently stroked the painting on the coffin. The dragon patterns on it were simple and exaggerated, giving it a rather imposing appearance.
"Okay, let's continue the story of the nine dragons pulling the coffin … The bronze coffin is simple and unadorned, with some blurry ancient patterns on it. It is full of the vicissitudes of time, and who knows how many years it has been floating in the universe …"
Liu Changan finished the first chapter of the novel and stopped. "Okay, next, let's talk about politics. For you, politics is a compulsory subject. Karl Marx said that philosophers only use different ways to explain the world, and the problem is to change the world … So this is why Marx is the top philosopher, and the other philosophers are probably a level lower …"
"You're telling the story of the nine dragons pulling the coffin …"
After a month, Shanghai Dandan's voice finally sounded in the carriage again.
"Then tell me what is going on with this coffin first. Don't try to fool me with some kind of soul-sealing and soul-burying ritual. Maybe it has something to do with it, but it is definitely not the reason why it can absorb blood and vitality, or even prevent other people's flesh and blood from rotting, and reshape life." Liu Changan did not expect that his sudden inspiration would really arouse Shanghai Dandan's curiosity and desire to listen to the story.
Little girls like to listen to stories.
Shanghai Dandan definitely knew a little more about coffins than Liu Changan, but it should not be possible for her to know everything. Using the story of the nine dragons pulling the coffin, it would naturally arouse her association.
"This is my baby."
"Your baby? A coffin has become your baby? Is it the kind of baby that if I call you, do you dare to answer? By the way, I haven't told you about Journey to the West. Is this coffin the kind of treasure used by immortals? "
Shanghai Dandan did not speak again. Liu Changan was not surprised, but he felt a little regretful.
Then, of course, he would not tell her the story of the nine dragons pulling the coffin. Liu Changan continued to talk about politics, "If everyone can achieve what they want, then maybe there will be no so-called politics in this world. People have too many different understandings of politics. However, no matter which understanding you prefer, you have to admit that the birth of politics is in the process of people competing with others, competing with each other, and even in the process of fighting, to put forward some words to explain to people why their choices and practices are right, and others are not. Politics can be a set of words about individual interests or collective interests …"
Things in politics were naturally not as interesting as the story of the nine dragons pulling the coffin. Shanghai Dandan did not interrupt him again, nor did she ask him to continue when he stopped.
Liu Changan himself was somewhat inspired. This coffin was naturally not the coffin of the nine dragons pulling the coffin, but there might be some similarities?
So, Liu Changan went to read novels. It was a very comfortable thing to read online novels before going to bed. Reading a little every day was good for keeping the mind active and the body and mind happy.
After leaving the stall the next day, Liu Changan, who received 50 yuan as moving fee, changed into a large vest and pants, put a towel on his shoulder, and came to help Zhou Shuling move.
Zhou Dongdong carried her string of firecrackers tied with cotton thread and put her toy chickens in her school bag to help with the work.
Liu Changan first carried the bed. Zhou Shuling wanted to help, but Liu Changan pressed her to the side and did not move. She watched in astonishment as Liu Changan carried the large wooden bed as if he was carrying Zhou Dongdong's small stool.
Men were really amazing. Most of the time, when women saw men using strength to do things that women could not do, they involuntarily admired them.
This was an extremely simple thing for Liu Changan. It was just that when other neighbors passed by in the corridor, he still had to act a little more solemn. He carried the large bed and turned it around casually. Zhou Shuling and Zhou Dongdong exclaimed and did not have any other reaction. If other normal neighbors saw this, they would inevitably be stunned … It was fine if strangers were stunned, but if neighbors looked at him suspiciously, it would not be low-key enough.
Liu Changan was strong and fast. He finished moving in an hour. If it was not for Zhou Dongdong carrying the small stool from time to time, the small stool blocking his way on the stairs, he should have been faster.
"You guys tidy up the house. If you have time, help me clean the downstairs. I will go to the stall, and I can sell a few more bowls of noodles. "Liu Changan took a towel to wipe his head and said.
"You should. When you moved in, your house was clean, and when you left, it should be clean." Zhou Shuling said as if it was a matter of course.
"I will help you mop the floor!"
"No."
"I can do the work!"
"Use your face or your butt."
"Am I the kind of child who rolls on the ground?"
"Of course."
"How come I don't remember rolling on the ground?"
"You don't remember anything that is not good for you."
"Oh …"
Liu Changan went to sell noodles.
Business was still good. Some people even complained that it was so late today. Fortunately, they came back to check. After eating this bowl of noodles in the morning, they felt that their day was complete.
Liu Changan was very satisfied. This was the meaning of good food.
At noon, Liu Changan saw Qin Yanan walking over.
Today, her style was completely different. She was no longer wearing a cheongsam, nor was she as elegant and sweet as a lilac girl in a small town. Instead, she was wearing a fluffy A-line skirt, her legs were extremely slender, and she wore a pair of seven-centimeter high heels. Her long hair was loose, and she left a shallow fringe on her smooth forehead.
"Are you going to be an Internet celebrity and open a Taobao shop?" Liu Changan glanced at Qin Yanan, who was walking over with an umbrella, and asked with a little surprise, "I will use your Bentley as the background to take some product pictures. Perfect."
"Zhou Dongdong's degree is settled, so I asked Uncle Ma to tell him and asked my father's secretary to call the principal. I know you are afraid that Zhou Dongdong's academic performance is too poor and she will be discriminated against at school … But it is inevitable that public schools pay attention to academic performance. We can only ask the teachers to encourage and educate her." Qin Yanan came over and scanned the menu. "A bowl of noodles with less oil."
"Okay."
