Forty has a hurdle

Chapter 11 The First Day of School

At eight o'clock in the morning, the community was already full of pedestrians.

There are those who have already bought groceries, and there are also office workers who hurried out of the elevator with their briefcases.

More are uncles and aunts who are exercising in the community.

Zhao Hongming stayed at home until after nine o'clock before going out.

After wandering on the street for two hours, Zhao Hongming hurried to the supermarket to buy today's vegetables until it was close to 10 o'clock, ready to go home and cook.

The time for his son to leave school is around 12:30, two and a half hours is enough time for Zhao Hongming to make a hearty breakfast.

For some reason, Zhao Hongming felt more and more that he had no motivation to continue looking for a job.

Ever since he saw the job postings in the morning, he had a feeling.

He seems to be a bit out of tune with the current society.

Originally thought that with his own experience, he could easily find a job in Jiangcheng, but the reality was that he was slapped in the face.

He obviously has a skill, but because of one or another reason, he can't use it.

This made him feel quite useless as a hero.

Seeing that the time has come to 11:30, breakfast is ready, just pick up my son, and then I can cook and eat.

Zhao Hongming hurried downstairs, drove his Skoda, and went to Qixing Middle School.

Qixing Middle School is about 10 minutes away from Jiangcheng Shangju by bus, and it takes about [-] minutes to walk.

Zhao Huan had never gone to and from school alone before, and the time when Qin Yali got off work and when Zhao Huan got off school couldn't be the same.

So for the time being, Zhao Hongming can only pick up Zhao Huan from school.

With Qin Yali's reminder, Zhao Hongming arrived at the gate of Qixing Middle School 20 minutes before school ended, found a parking space and parked his car.

"It's still early."

Seeing the increasing number of cars, Zhao Hongming secretly thought.

When school was about to end, the entrance of Qixing Middle School was even more crowded.

The wide road has long been blocked.

Fortunately, a traffic policeman also came to the school gate at this moment, and together with the school teacher who was responsible for maintaining order, began to direct the traffic.

"Jingle Bell."

Inside the campus, a crisp bell rang.

Suddenly, the originally quiet campus became noisy.

Countless students surged out from various teaching buildings.

Parents at the school gate also stood on tiptoe and looked into the campus, expecting to see their children at the first time.

At this time, Zhao Hongming, like other parents, had already taken a seat at the school gate, so as soon as Zhao Huan came out, he would be the first to see him.

"Huanhuan, here."

Sure enough, only a few minutes later, Zhao Hongming saw Zhao Huan among the crowd of students.

"Dad." Zhao Huan, who was joking with his classmates, heard Zhao Hongming's shout, and rushed to Zhao Hongming's side with his classmates.

"It's not bad, it's only the first day of school, and I've made new friends."

Taking the schoolbag from Zhao Huan's shoulder, Zhao Hongming smiled.

"Isn't it!" Zhao Huan said with a look of complacency.

During this period of time, Zhao Hongming has been staying with his son at home, and he found that his son has a much more cheerful personality, talking and laughing with him all day long.

"Dad, if you find a job, why don't you just let me go back by bus!"

Sitting in the car, Zhao Huan said sensiblely.

There are many students in the class whose parents have to go to work, and these students all go home by bus.

Zhao Huan also knew that his father was able to pick him up now because he hadn't found a job yet.

If both parents have gone to work, they will definitely not have time to pick him up again.

He also wants to be independent and take care of himself like other students.

"Well, Huanhuan has grown up and knows that he loves his father. Let's talk about it later." Zhao Hongming laughed.

As Zhao Huan said, once he found a job, not to mention picking up his son, he might not even have time to cook.

At that time, we have to think about how to solve this problem.

In fact, there is a canteen in Qixing Middle School that provides breakfast and dinner services for students who need meals.

It's just that Zhao Hongming and his wife still want their children to go home to eat. After all, the food in the cafeteria is not as delicious as the food at home.

There is another problem that needs to be solved. If Zhao Huan goes to and from school alone, he needs to buy a mobile phone for Zhao Huan so that he can contact him easily.

In elementary school, Zhao Huan wore a children's watch, but this guy stopped wearing it when he was in the sixth grade, saying that this thing is for children.

After that, I kept clamoring to buy a mobile phone, saying that the students around me all had their own mobile phones.

However, because of Qin Yali's objection, this proposal was never approved.

Because it was the rush hour after school, it took about [-] minutes to go home, but it took half an hour to get to the community.

Seeing the bus running unimpeded on the bus lane, both father and son were envious.

"Oh, why did you come back? The food is cold."

When the father and son returned home, it was already 12:30, and Qin Yali was already at home, cooking the dishes.

"Forget it, there's been a traffic jam, and we're not as fast as the bus." Zhao Hongming complained a little.

If he had known this, he might as well take the bus to pick up Zhao Huan.

"Hurry up and eat, and go to memorize words for 10 minutes before going to bed after eating."

Qin Yali didn't continue to struggle with this issue, but said to Zhao Huan.

"Ah? Mom, you don't need to do this. Today is the first day of school. Do you want to memorize words?"

Hearing his mother's arrangement, Zhao Huan couldn't help pouting.

Zhao Hongming was about to speak, but his wife stopped him with a look, "Huanhuan, if you want to be admitted to a key high school, we have to show determination. If you recite 10 minutes more than others, you will be 10 minutes faster than them. One step faster. , step by step, so that you can take the lead, listen to me, you are right."

Qin Yali patiently explained to her son.

"Oh."

Facing his mother's arrangement, Zhao Huan didn't continue to argue, and after answering in a low voice, he began to eat quickly.

A meal took only a third of the usual time.

When Zhao Hongming started to wash the dishes, the sound of Lang Lang's endorsement came from Zhao Huan's bedroom.

Zhao Huan went to school at 02:30 at noon, took a nap at [-]:[-], and got up at [-]:[-] to go out.

Every minute, the couple calculated clearly, never wasting a minute or a second.

Qin Yali took a shorter nap, and had to get up at 01:30, only half an hour.

Many teachers in their school chose not to go home during the noon period. After eating at school, they put a recliner in the office, took a nap, and then went to class.

Because today was Zhao Huan's first day to go to Qixing, she was a little worried, so she rushed home.

In the afternoon, the school ends at 5 o'clock, the evening self-study begins at 06:30, and school ends at nine o'clock.

Just to pick up and drop off Zhao Huan, he had to go to Qixing Middle School six times a day.

Zhao Hongming didn't work, and was responsible for pick-up and delivery and cooking at home, which made him very tired.

Of course, Qixing Middle School also has students who live on campus, but they are given priority to students who are far away from the school. People like Zhao Huan do not meet the requirements for living on campus.

At night, it was almost ten o'clock, and Zhao Hongming felt a little headache watching his son seriously doing his wife's extra homework under the light.
