Cartoonist's Dream

From Friday, August 8th to Sunday, August 28th, many primary schools in Nanhua City ushered in a new registration period.

Parents of lower-grade students are not yet at ease enough to allow their children to register with hundreds of dollars.

Therefore, parents whose children are in the same class at the same period, or parents from the same village who know each other, will always go to register their children in groups.In fact, the primary school registration process is very simple. If there are no special circumstances, you only need to fill in the form, pay the money, and withdraw the receipt, and no student participation is required at all.

However, in order to cultivate the ability of children to register independently, parents usually bring their children to register together, so that they can gradually learn the registration process.

As a victim of the curse of mystery, Li Mu tried to avoid going out, and became a veritable squatting at home.Although he wanted to avoid registration for various reasons and let his mother take full responsibility for the registration, but as a skipping student, he had to meet the new class teacher in advance. [

Li Mu's mother selected the registration time to be on the afternoon of the 28th.Saturday and Sunday are the days when there are plenty of taxi customers, and she doesn't want to waste the golden time of the 29th and 30th.And on the afternoon of the 28th, when I came back from registration, I went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables to save the time of going out again.

At the same time, many parents always like to squeeze in the last day and register late.Avoiding the registration rush is also a strategy to buy more time to talk to the teacher about your child.

******

The head teacher of Class [-] of the fifth year is Teacher Li, a kind-hearted old woman who is not unfamiliar to Li Mu.When Limu was about to graduate at the end of the sixth grade, Mr. Liu was on vacation for some reason, and it was Mr. Li who taught algebra to Class [-] of the sixth grade.At that time, because she was worried that other young teachers would suddenly take over the courses of the graduating class, she volunteered to serve as the mathematics substitute teacher of the graduating class.

The registration place of Pingnan Primary School is located in the classroom where each student will be enrolled, and the person in charge of registration is the head teacher of the class.Although this arrangement makes the class teacher tired and inefficient, it also has its own reasons.

On the one hand, it allows parents to take students to familiarize themselves with the location of the new classroom, so that students will not be lost like flies on the first day of school; on the other hand, it is convenient for parents and teachers to exchange information about their children.

For example, if a child is short-sighted, the parents want to keep the child’s seat in the front row; if the child has a heart attack, the teacher needs to pay more attention to his condition; if the child is distracted, the teacher begs the teacher to be stricter with his child.

There are all kinds of things, and there are many.

Li Mu came to the fourth class of the fifth year to greet the end.Teacher Li picked up the materials at hand, and put the glasses hanging around his neck in front of his eyes. After reading the materials, he looked at the short Li Mu, put down the glasses and said:

"The test results are very good, not bad, very good, young and promising, welcome to the fifth grade, student Li Mu."

Her personality is no different from Teacher Li in Li Mu's impression, her eyes are restrained, her tone and diction are sophisticated to a certain level.People like her should have held the position of principal long ago, but she never pursued that position—her husband was originally the principal of Pingnan Primary School.

However, she did not hold any administrative position in the school. She was just an ordinary math teacher. She devoted herself to the work of teaching and educating people, not the fierce competition for teaching and administrative positions.

"Thank you very much for your compliment, Teacher Li."

"Is there any problem with the heart?"

"There is no problem in the hospital's inspection, so I think there should be no problem."

"In our class, there are 11 or 12-year-old students. Basically, everyone is taller than you. I will put you in the first row for a long time. Is it okay?"

"No problem, thank you for your arrangement."

"Although there is a difference in age between you, you are better than others. I hope you will not be proud of your achievements and try to get along with everyone. If you encounter any difficulties, you can come to me to discuss—" Teacher Li read After glancing at Li Xiuli who was standing aside, she continued, "You can also ask your mother to come and discuss with me."

"Please don't worry, I will handle the relationship with my classmates very harmoniously." Li Mu didn't target the target just to reassure her mother. Politically, the means of "coaching a group and suppressing a group" are enough to play around with elementary school students. [

"My son will be entrusted to you in the future." Li Xiuli bowed to Teacher Li cautiously and said.

"I'll leave it to you in the future." Li Mu occasionally imitated the bow and raised her head to wink.

"Heh, puff..." Seeing Li Mu's cute appearance, Teacher Li couldn't help pursing her lips into a smile. The fun of teaching children actually comes from children.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little heated.

Li Xiuli felt that her son and Teacher Li were very close, so she might as well recognize her as grandma, and she was just about to make such a proposal.Suddenly, she found that other parents had come to the door of the fourth class of the fifth year, which made her miss the opportunity to speak out.

It was a woman who was more cautious than Li Xiuli, and she didn't know how long she had been waiting outside the door, standing hunched over by the door and not daring to go directly into the classroom.When the three of them looked over, her hand was about to knock on the door, but it seemed to stop in mid-air as if she was about to knock.After being noticed by the three people, he didn't know whether to knock his hand down or take it back.

"Come in, come in, what are you doing standing there." Teacher Li gently waved towards the door.

"Ms. Li, let's not bother you now." Liu Xiuli took Li Mu's hand.

The form is filled out, the money is paid, and the return receipt is taken. There is no reason to stay in the classroom and hinder the work.

"Come early on Monday, and I will introduce you to everyone." Teacher Li finally ordered.

04:30 in the afternoon.

Nanhua City has "only spring and summer, no autumn and winter", which is a reflection of the seasons in Nanhua. Even the afternoons in late summer and early autumn are not cool.The "mother group" who had registered with their children naturally gathered at the school gate.In order to rush to complete the painting task of "A Collection of Thousand Pages", Li Mu took the lead to go home with Lu Wei and other friends.

Li Xiuli and Li Shu are holding the popular "ultraviolet protection parasol", which is actually just a layer of silver paint on the lower layer of an ordinary umbrella.

They are the only ones holding umbrellas. The other members of the "Mom Group" should say that they don't pay attention to maintenance, or they don't have sun protection awareness... In short, they don't even hold ordinary umbrellas.

Although there are no signs of it now, after the age of 50 or 38, the skin that is often exposed to the sun and the skin that pays attention to maintenance will show a difference.Li Shu is [-] and nearly forty, standing in the group of mothers but not looking old at all, probably this is where the saying "ten years younger" comes from.

Li Mu's mother had to be more careful than them in protecting her body because she had to drive a taxi for passengers in hot weather. This cautious attitude continued from the time she started driving until her old age.Li Shu doesn't leave the gate without leaving the door. She sleeps in the cage in the morning and has a beauty sleep at night. In fact, she is the one who sticks to the way of maintenance in the mother group.

Together with Liu Hongjing, Liang Jianming, and Ma Yingshao's mother, the two of them passed the alley leading to the school and walked all the way to Pingnan vegetable market to chat.

"Is Li Mu really in the fifth grade?" Liu Hongjing's mother asked.

Although I heard the rumors from Li Shu, but not from Li Xiuli's own confession, it still feels so unreal even when it happened before my eyes.Lu Wei and Limu just skipped preschool two years ago, but it was because of their age that the school suggested skipping grades, but in a blink of an eye, Limu will graduate from elementary school in a year?

"Li Mu was good at studying, and now he is good at drawing." Liang Jianming's mother obviously knew better.

She is Li Xiuli's close friend, it should be said that she is a close friend with Li Shushu... Well, a close friend of a higher level than Li Shuli.But because the distance between Liang Jianming's mother's house and Li Xiuli is about 300 meters, the number of exchanges with Li Xiuli is not as many as that of Li Shushu. [

"Ah, I know this, it must be some kind of painting contract signed with a foreigner."

"Is it the kind that will be exhibited? It's really enviable. I heard that one can sell for a lot of money, right?"

"Ah!? Not much. It's comics, not painting exhibitions, or the kind of comic books sold at street stalls. How much money do you think you can make per page?" Li Xiuli cautiously denied her son's claim that he made a lot of money from comics.

If she knew that her son spent nearly 1 yuan on earphones with almost all the manuscript fees he just earned, she would definitely go back and educate her immediately.

"Painting comic books... Don't talk about that, tell us how you taught Li Mu's Wei." Ma Yingshao's mother asked for advice.

"This one……"

Hearing that Li Xiuli was going to impart her own "educational scriptures", the mother group walked a little closer, pricking up their ears so as not to miss a word.

"This..." Li Xiuli was in a dilemma.She really didn't know how her son learned it, and Nian Zai's usual education was also very effective, so she bit the bullet and said:

"At night, he must be forced to watch TV after finishing his homework, and he is absolutely not allowed to do his homework while watching TV; he must go to bed at nine o'clock in the evening, and help him preview the next day's class content before going to bed; call the teacher more often, Ask what the next step is to teach your child..."

"Uh-huh……"

"oh oh……"

Seeing the four of them nodding like chickens eating rice, Li Xiuli relaxed a little after communicating for a while.To be honest, I am quite happy to be a leader in the mother group, but I have to teach myself the education experience of Limu, because I am afraid that my education method is wrong and I am a little embarrassed to say it.

In fact, she successfully sent Li Mu to a key university. Compared with other members of the mother group, her education is undoubtedly the most successful.

"I really didn't expect that besides driving, cooking for your husband, and serving your mother-in-law, you can spend so much time taking care of your children...I really admire you." Li Shu knew Li Xiuli's experience best.With a pear tree in her arms and a big belly, she also had to feed the pigs and carry the water from the fish pond to grow vegetables.

At the beginning, her belly was so round that she was about to give birth. Li Xiuli had to sweat coldly to bend over to spoon water. I really don't know what her mother-in-law thought.Think it's fun to drop your daughter-in-law into a pond, wrestle, or have a miscarriage?

Fortunately, none of this happened, and Qilinzi Limu in Pingnan Village was born safely.

"Yeah...it's hard for you, Xiuli." Liang Jianming's mother felt the same way.

"Haven't they all come here, and there will be good days in a few years."

Li Xiuli looked at Liang Jianming's mother and smiled, making the fine lines around her eyes proliferate.If you don't take care of it, I'm afraid she will look older than anyone in the mother group.The mother group is to enhance the experience of close conversation, to exchange bitterness and bitterness, and to tell each other from the bottom of my heart.It is precisely because they like and understand each other that they get together.

Liang Jianming's mother is in a similar situation to Li Xiuli. Her husband is an uneducated villager in the second group of Pingnan. Like Li Jiahui, he likes to gamble and drink, but the degree of alcoholism far exceeds that of Li Jiahui. Therefore, Liang Jianming and his mother are often beaten at home. .This is something Li Shu, who has a husband who is a civil servant, has never experienced.

The experience of deja vu made Li Xiuli and Li Shu have a closer relationship than others.

"In a few years, it will be fine in a few years," Liang Jianming's mother yearned.

In fact, her life was much easier in the future. Four or five years later, her house was expanded to six floors. At that time, her husband who was drinking and beating others also died, and the demolition of the house happened not to her land.The house that was originally close to the village has become a golden shop on the side of the road... History is not surprising. In the next period of time, due to demolition and land acquisition, Li Xiuli and her took the opposite downhill trajectory.
