Chapter 38 Going to school in the rain
Since taking over the Lou family's banquet, people have approached He Yuzhu one after another and asked him to cook. Although He Yuzhu is young, he is good at craftsmanship and cooks delicious food. He has made a name for himself through word of mouth.
As time goes by, it's time for He Yuyu to go to school. Xiaohu, who is the same age as Yuyu, should also go to school.
"Zhuzi, it's time for Yuyu to go to school. Why don't you let her and Xiaohu go together? I'll pick her up and drop her off together, which will save you trouble." said the teacher's wife.
"Of course that's good, it's just going to cause trouble for the master's wife." He Yuzhu said.
"Okay, registration will start in a few days, I'll sign up together." said the teacher's wife.
So the registration was left to the master's wife. He Yuzhu was not idle either. He took Yuyu and Xiaohu to the department store and bought pencils and other stationery for them. I didn’t buy a schoolbag because my wife had already prepared it. Find thick cloth and sew a book bag.
The two little guys were quite excited because they were going to school. He Yuzhu thought of the children in the online videos of later generations rolling all over the floor on their first day of school. I wonder what it will be like for them to go to school.
The teacher's wife successfully completed the admission procedures for the two of them and placed them in the same class.
A few days passed in the blink of an eye. The first day of school has arrived.
"Brother, hurry up, or you'll be late." Yuyu was a little excited because he was going to school today, so he urged He Yuzhu to leave early.
"It's coming, it's coming, don't rush me, it's good." He Yuzhu replied.
Amidst the urging of the rain, He Yuzhu put away the washed dishes and chopsticks, quickly dried his hands, and came out.
After locking the door, I got on my bicycle and headed straight to my master's house with the rain on my back. I met my master's wife and sent the two little guys to school together.
The school is not far from my teacher’s mother’s house, just across two alleys.
Because the term had just started, there were still many people in the school. He Yuzhu followed the teacher's wife and sent the two little guys to class.
By the way, I got to know Yuyu’s class teacher. The class teacher’s surname is Zhang, a middle-aged man who has taught for many years.
Looking at Yuyu and Xiaohu, they entered the classroom, sat down on their seats, and quickly became mingled with the children around them. No discomfort whatsoever. He Yuzhu was relieved.
Seeing parents coming with their children, He Yuzhu and his wife said a few words to Teacher Zhang before saying goodbye and leaving.
He Yuzhu was a little uneasy all morning, always thinking about whether Yu Yu would be bullied by other children at school, or whether he would be punished by the teacher for being naughty. After all, teachers at this time can hit people.
The mistress watched He Yuzhu sitting down and getting up for a while, feeling distracted.
"Zhuzi, if you have nothing to do, go out for a walk. Don't get up now and sit down later." The teacher's wife said.
"Master's wife, isn't this Yu Yu's first day of school? I'm worried that she won't adapt." He Yuzhu said.
"It's you who I don't like. Yu Yu and Xiao Hu are together. What are you worried about?" said the teacher's wife.
"Hey, don't I care about you?" He Yuzhu said sheepishly.
"Okay, you go to the market to buy vegetables and come back to cook. When the food is ready, they will be out of school." The teacher's wife sent He Yuzhu out to buy vegetables.
"Okay, I'll go right away." He Yuzhu said.
There is nothing to buy in the market, but the space for vegetables, meat, and fruits is very complete. It's fresher and more delicious than what's on the market. After all, it's produced in space, so there's no way it could be bad.
After shopping around, I thought about the upcoming ticket era. I would not have to worry about food and drink, but I still had to buy shoes. I found a place that sold shoes and bought two pairs of shoes for myself and Yu Yu. I didn’t buy more for fear of attracting attention. There are no winter clothes now, but fortunately there is still time. This year we just started to control flour. Others will be controlled gradually.
After wandering around for a while, I went back to Master's house, walked to the door, and took out some vegetables, meat, etc. from the space.
"Master's wife, I'm back." He Yuzhu came in and shouted.
"When you get back, go to the kitchen to prepare meals. I'll pick them up from school later," the teacher's wife said.
He Yuzhu obediently entered the kitchen and prepared lunch.
Just when He Yuzhu finished cooking and put the lunch on the table, the master's wife came back with the two little guys.
"Come on, brother has made delicious food for you." He Yuzhu shouted when he saw Yu Yu and Xiaohu.
When the two little guys heard that there was something delicious, they ran in and reached out to grab the braised prawns on the table. He was stopped by the teacher's wife who came in shortly after.
"Everyone, stop it. I told you all the time, wash your hands before eating, and don't scratch them with your hands. You all wash your hands. If you can't wash them thoroughly, you are not allowed to eat." The teacher's wife taught you a lesson.
"I know, let's go wash our hands right now." said the two little guys.
Yuyu and Xiaohu went out to wash their hands. The teacher's wife began to lecture He Yuzhu again: "What's wrong with you, brother? The two of them didn't wash their hands but they grabbed them, and you just watched from the side? You didn't care."
"Master Wife, I know I was wrong. I will definitely stop them next time. Anyone who doesn't wash their hands will not be able to eat." He Yuzhu said vowedly.
"Just spoil them two." The mistress rolled her eyes at He Yuzhu and went out to supervise the two little guys to wash their hands.
After lunch, the two little guys took a nap for a while. When it was time to go to school, the teacher's wife woke them up and washed their faces to wake them up. He asked He Yuzhu to take them to school on his bicycle.
He Yuzhu sent them to school, watched them enter the classroom, and turned around to leave.
Instead of going to Master's house, I returned home, sat at my desk, and dazed for a while. I now had food, drink, a house to live in, and no worries about anything. In the beginning, I really enjoyed this kind of life. After all, in my previous life, I worked all day long and never had a moment of leisure. Now that I have such a free time, it feels very boring after a long time. Still have to find something to do.
After a while of random thoughts, it was time to go to Fengzeyuan to help the cook.
I rode my bicycle to Fengze Garden and said hello to my master and senior brother. Then the evening business began.
After get off work in the evening, He Yuzhu followed his master home and received rainwater.
After the two siblings returned home, He Yuzhu began to ask about Yu Yu's performance at school today, whether he was naughty or whether he had made any new friends.
Hearing his brother ask about his performance in school, He Yuyu started to tell his brother how obedient he was, how he made new friends, and helped the teacher comfort the crying children. The teacher also praised Yuyu.
"Then did you cry?" He Yuzhu asked.
"Of course not. Yuyu is a grown-up child, so he won't cry." He Yuyu said.
"The rain is great. My brother will prepare delicious food for you tomorrow morning." He Yuzhu said.
"Okay, I want to eat steamed buns." Yuyu said.
"Okay, my brother will make delicious crab roe soup dumplings for you tomorrow." He Yuzhu said.
"Crab roe soup dumplings? Are they delicious?" Yuyu asked.
"You will know tomorrow. It's time to go to bed, otherwise you won't be able to get up tomorrow and you will be late for school." He Yuzhu said.
"Okay, I'll go to sleep right now." Yuyu replied.
After coaxing Yu Yu to sleep, He Yuzhu read for a while and then lay down to sleep.
