Chapter 12

The next day, Li Chujiu got up early and made breakfast for the whole family as usual. When Aunt Zhang saw her, she couldn't help nagging: "You child, you have to go to school today, why don't you sleep a little longer? See the teacher later and be more energetic."

Li Chujiu smiled awkwardly and scratched the back of her head: "Probably because I'm too happy, I wake up at [-]:[-] in the morning, and I can't fall asleep even when I lie down, why don't I get up and find something to do."

Aunt Zhang shook her head, and started to prepare breakfast with Li Chujiu in a tacit understanding. Maybe she saw that Li Chujiu would be nervous and wanted to relieve it. Aunt Zhang did not continue to talk about school, but brought the topic to breakfast and What dishes are up.

Grandpa Zhao came to Li's house early in the morning, followed by breakfast, corn cakes served with porridge, and the usual side dishes, which are very rich. After Grandpa Zhao finished eating, he was very satisfied and envious and said: "Ah Jiu, no matter how you say it, you are also me. Granddaughter, come live with me when you go to school, and I will send you over to study every day."

Grandpa Li cast a glance at Grandpa Zhao: "It would be nice if you come to eat every day, and you want to pack people home."

Grandpa Zhao raised his index finger and tapped on the table: "Why can't my god-granddaughter come home with me? I found this person at the beginning, but you are lucky, and you want to occupy it all day long. Let me tell you, it's not that cheap." thing."

Immediately, Li Chujiu didn't know how to reply, or try to persuade her, because she seemed to offend one side no matter what she said.Simply, she lowered her head slightly, pretending to be an ostrich, since there are still people around anyway.

Seeing that the two of them were quarreling again, Grandma Li began to act as a peacemaker: "You two old men, don't say a word to each other. Is it interesting to quarrel? Ah Jiu is the one who is in trouble." Then, he looked at Grandpa Zhao: "Old Zhao, I Come up with an idea, why don't you just move to our house, anyway, you are the only one there, when you were asked to live here, you had to buy a house, now you know how lonely you are."

"It's a good feeling. I'll pack up and live here tomorrow, big sister, you can clean up a room for me, as long as I can live in it." Grandpa Zhao said with a smile on his face. Since he bought a house to live in, he realized that living alone It's boring, he wanted to come over a long time ago, but he refused before and was embarrassed to speak again, and he was also afraid that Lao Li would use this matter to arrange him.

After saying this, Grandpa Li frowned, glanced at his wife, and said to Lao Zhao, "Let me tell you first, our family does not raise idlers, and don't move here today, move away tomorrow." , we can't afford it."

Grandpa Zhao smiled so hard that his creases could kill a fly: "Don't worry, my granddaughter is here, and I won't go anywhere."

After the problem was solved, Grandpa Zhao seemed very happy. Regardless of Grandpa Li's awkward expression, he walked to the phone and started making a call, but hung up after hearing him say a few words, probably to ask someone to pick it up.

After Grandpa Zhao hung up the phone, Grandma Li began to ask him about his requirements for the room. Grandpa Zhao didn't care about it, he just said that he could sleep.

After the two of them finished discussing the room, the person Grandpa Zhao was waiting for had already arrived, and he led Li Chujiu out the door. Grandma Li told Li Chujiu not to be nervous and to keep calm.

The courtyard of the Li family is not only the exit of the Chinese Medicine Hall, but also a gate on the side, the kind that a car can drive in.

There was a black car waiting at the door. In this era, it was an absolute luxury, but Li Chujiu had seen the more advanced ones in later generations, and she didn't show much curiosity about it.

After getting into the car, Li Chujiu's calm expression also made Grandpa Zhao admire in his heart, calm and calm, it really is my granddaughter!

After the car was on the road, the person in the passenger seat turned his head, glanced at Li Chujiu, and said to Grandpa Zhao: "The things you ordered have been arranged, and you can go to school after doing a few sets of test papers later. .”

Grandpa Zhao raised his face, and gave an earnest 'En', and saw him peeking at Li Chujiu, and said in a dignified voice, "My granddaughter!"

The man looked 34 years old, dressed very formally, and his hair was combed sleekly. After hearing the words of Grandpa Zhao, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he didn't ask any further questions. After nodding to Li Chujiu with a smile, he then Turned around and went.

Li Chujiu looked at the passing scenery outside the car window, and thought about the identity of Grandpa Zhao. When he was in the Li family, he was completely informal and straight-forward. Now when he sees him getting along with others, he is very serious and dignified.Moreover, Grandpa Zhao has a unique temperament, he should be a soldier, his age is here, and his rank is probably not low, but now that he is at home, has he already retired?
This was all Li Chujiu's guess, but she felt that it was pretty close. She never asked about the background of Grandpa Zhao and Grandpa Li's family.

After getting on the bus, about five or six minutes later, the car drove into the best high school in the county - No. 6 High School.This is the first time Li Chujiu came in. When she passed by the door before, she always told herself that she must be admitted to this place in the future. Although there were many twists and turns, she still came in here easily.

The first high school has the best teaching quality, the most up-to-date teaching building, and of course the most expensive.In the words of later generations, this is a veritable noble school.There are ten places in this school for work-study students every year. At that time, she focused on this, and her first choice was here. Now... Turning around and looking at Grandpa Zhao, it is estimated that it will not be needed.

Grandpa Zhao is old, but his senses are still sensitive. When Li Chujiu glanced at him and turned back, he said: "The first high is very close to the Chinese Medicine Hall, and it only takes ten minutes to walk. If you don't want to walk, I will I can arrange a car transfer for you."

The corners of Li Chujiu's eyes twitched. Regardless of the surprised expression of the man in front of him, he smiled and said, "Grandpa, walking and exercising is good. I'm already this old, so I don't need the pick-up."

"You're a girl. It's not safe to go to and from school alone. Listen to me. I'll send someone to pick you up when the time comes." The more Grandpa Zhao thought about it, the more unsafe he felt, and he couldn't refuse.

Hearing this, Li Chujiu couldn't laugh or cry: "Grandpa, the security is pretty good now, and I'm not a child anymore. I can take a ride with my uncle when I go to school in the morning. There are many people on the road at noon and afternoon, so I really don't need to pick up."

Hearing Li Chujiu's explanation, Grandpa Zhao thought for a while, nodded and compromised: "Well, you must pay attention to your safety, and if something goes wrong, you should shout for help."

The more he talked, the more incoherent he became. Li Chujiu's heart was warmed by this proper concern, but he really didn't know how to continue the conversation.Fortunately, they had already got off the car while speaking and arrived at the door of the principal's office.

The headmaster looked a little younger than Grandpa Zhao and the others. After seeing Grandpa Zhao, he shook hands with great enthusiasm and exchanged greetings. He looked at Li Chujiu and said with a smile on his face: "This is Ah Jiu, Xingbang called today Come on, let's go inside and talk."

Grandpa Zhao didn't want to talk nonsense with the principal, so he directly asked the principal to go through the formalities first, and then it's not too late to talk about the past.

The principal's enthusiastic smile was not extinguished by Grandpa Zhao's cold water, so he asked for the household registration book naturally, and then took out a few test papers: "Ah Jiu, come here and do the entrance test first, I'll ask someone to go through the formalities for you .”

For the next hour or so, Ah Jiu made five test papers in a row. Grandpa Zhao didn't make a sound and didn't leave. He was drinking tea quietly, saw some books on the table, and occasionally picked them up to read the first two pages. .

Time passed quickly, and after Ah Jiu finished the test paper, he twisted his wrist at the back of his neck. Seeing this, Grandpa Zhao asked, "Have you finished?"

Ah Jiu put the test papers back, showing a sweet smile: "Well, the task has been successfully completed."

Grandpa Zhao yelled to the outside, and the man who came with him answered, and a man with a gentle appearance and gold-rimmed eyes came in. He looked like a teacher. After he introduced himself, he collected Ah Jiu's test paper. gone.

After a while, the principal came back, took a few pieces of paper, handed the household registration book to Ah Jiu, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to have been admitted to our school before, why are you reporting now?"

Ah Jiu pursed her lips, and said, "Something happened at home, and it was delayed."

The headmaster didn't ask any more questions, but instead said: "Your grades were pretty good before. Although you were delayed by almost half a semester, you should be able to catch up. I've had someone complete the procedures for you. You can come to school tomorrow. Class one and one in high school."

Ah Jiu nodded and asked, "Principal, if I want to skip a grade, what procedure do I need to follow?"

The headmaster froze for a moment, glanced at his grandfather who was not ready to start a conversation, and said with a faint smile: "Little girl, although your grades are good, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep up if you skip a grade."

"I'm confident. I have taught myself three years of high school courses at home. Can I ask the principal to give me a chance?" Ah Jiu said sincerely.

The principal looked surprised: "You really taught yourself high school for three years?"

Ah Jiu nodded.

"Do you mean you want to go directly to the third year of high school?" the principal asked.

Ah Jiu lowered her eyes, thought for a while, and said, "I'm confident that I can keep up with the third year of high school, but I haven't been in contact with the learning atmosphere of high school, so I'm going to the third year of high school rashly, and I'm going to take the college entrance examination next year. Sophomore year begins."

She hasn't gone to school systematically for a hundred years. Although the learning topics in future generations are much more difficult than now, she still has to adapt to the current learning environment. She is too impatient, and she will be under great pressure when the time comes.

The principal took out a few more test papers from the drawer and put them on the desk: "This is the entrance examination paper for the first year of senior high school last year. If you pass it, I will arrange for you to go to the second year of high school."

Seeing the principal's cheerfulness, Ah Jiu thanked her and started to answer the paper again.

The principal looked at her writing like a god, and left the office again. When he came back, there was another teacher, and then he said to Grandpa Zhao: "Mr. Zhao, why don't we go next door and wait? Go faster."

Grandpa Zhao was really bored, so he nodded and followed the principal out.
