Chapter 46 Bonus Chapter: Thank you to the generous donor, Soaring↑, for the 88000 + 1500 coins!
Liu Xiaoli sighed. Ever since her daughter started learning martial arts, she's become like a wild boy, always ready to fight with her son at the slightest provocation.
Chen Lang wasn't worried; the child was very resilient.
She was afraid that if a classmate angered her, they might not hold back when they started fighting.
Chen Lang nodded in agreement.
"Don't worry, Mom."
"My wife is actually very sensible; she wouldn't hit someone for no reason."
Liu Yifei nodded in agreement. She wouldn't fight with anyone else; she would only fight with her younger brother.
Hearing Chen Lang say this, Liu Xiaoli felt much more at ease.
"I'll pick you up at noon to go home for lunch."
Chen Lang waved his hand.
"No need, Mom."
"You're so busy, we can walk back ourselves."
"The road isn't far, and we all know it."
Liu Xiaoli hesitated.
She is indeed very busy; she has a lot of things to do at the theater.
I was thinking that I should at least pick them up and drop them off on the first day.
From now on, we should still let them go to and from school on their own.
In those days, the roads were full of bicycles, and motorcycles were a rare sight.
Children usually walk to school in groups by themselves.
Children attending kindergarten in the countryside all run there by themselves.
Since Chen Lang had said so, she agreed.
"Okay, be careful on the road."
Before we knew it, we had arrived at the school.
The entrance to Poyang Street Primary School is quite impressive.
Two thick stone pillars support a school gate in the shape of a memorial archway.
A number of parents had already gathered at the entrance to drop off their children for school.
These parents were all dressed very well.
The man was wearing a well-fitting shirt and trousers, and the woman was wearing a proper dress.
Everyone's temperament is different from that of ordinary people.
They gathered in twos and threes, greeting each other and chatting.
It's obvious that they each have their own established circles.
The children too.
Most of them didn't come alone.
They had already arranged to meet their classmates at the entrance and then go inside together.
Liu Yifei also saw several familiar faces.
Some were classmates from kindergarten, and others were friends I met in the courtyard of the opera house.
Soon, someone recognized Liu Xiaoli.
"Oh, isn't this Teacher Liu?"
A woman with a stylish curly hairstyle and wearing a blue floral dress walked over.
"You bring your child to school too?"
"Yes, Sister Wang."
Liu Xiaoli greeted her with a smile.
The two exchanged a few pleasantries.
Sister Wang's gaze fell on Chen Lang and Liu Yifei.
"These are your two precious children?"
"He's really handsome."
Her gaze lingered on Chen Lang for a while longer.
"This must be your family's musical prodigy, right?"
"I've heard my husband say that several times."
"It is said that Yu Deshen and Wang Sen almost got into a fight over taking him as their apprentice."
"They also said that when this child became an apprentice, he was very sincere and kowtowed three times."
As soon as he said that, several parents who were chatting nearby looked over.
Yu Deshen and Wang Sen are very famous figures in Wuhan's literary and artistic circles.
What kind of talent must a child have to be so sought after as an apprentice by both of them?
In an instant, several gazes focused on Chen Lang.
Chen Lang maintained his usual well-behaved persona.
He lowered his head slightly, revealing a somewhat shy expression, and called out.
Hello, Aunt Wang.
Sister Wang's smile grew even brighter.
"Oh, so good."
After finishing her social engagements, Liu Xiaoli took her two children to the bulletin board at the school gate.
The class assignment list for first-grade students was pasted on red paper.
She searched for a while and quickly found the names of the two children.
"Liu Yifei, Class 2, Grade 1"
"Chen Lang, Class 2, Grade 1"
"Great, you're in the same class now."
Liu Xiaoli breathed a sigh of relief and led the two children into the school gate.
Following the signs, I found the classroom of Class 2, Grade 1.
A bespectacled female teacher, who looked to be in her thirties, stood at the classroom door. She had a very gentle demeanor.
"Hello teacher, we're here to register."
Liu Xiaoli pushed the two children to the front.
The female teacher squatted down, looked at the two children, and smiled.
Hello everyone.
"You must be Liu Yifei, and you must be Chen Lang?"
Her gaze lingered on Chen Lang's face for a few more seconds.
It seems she had also heard of Chen Lang's reputation.
"Hello, Teacher Li."
Chen Lang and Liu Yifei bowed and greeted each other.
"What a polite and well-behaved child."
Teacher Li stood up and nodded to Liu Xiaoli.
"Parents can drop their children off here."
"Don't worry, I'll take good care of them."
Liu Xiaoli gave the two children a few more instructions before leaving, turning back to look at them every few steps.
The parents have all left.
Teacher Li led the students into the classroom.
The classroom was small but bright, and the windows were spotless.
The wall is covered with a multiplication table and a Chinese phonetic alphabet.
Above the blackboard, a red banner was hanging.
"Welcome, new student."
The desks were the old-fashioned kind, with two people sitting at each desk.
The tabletop and stools were made of wood and painted with a layer of yellow paint.
Teacher Li began arranging the seats.
"Huang Chengzi, you and Liu Yifei sit here."
She pointed to a window seat in the third row.
Huang Chengzi is a classmate that Liu Yifei has known since kindergarten.
She was a very cute little girl with two little pigtails.
She happily took Liu Yifei's hand and sat down next to him.
Liu Yifei's face remained expressionless.
She didn't like the arrangement and wanted to sit with Chen Lang.
She subconsciously turned to look at Chen Lang.
"Chen Lang, you and Che Yue can sit in front of Liu Yifei."
Teacher Li had just finished speaking.
Liu Yifei immediately felt relieved.
Fortunately, it was right in front of us, within arm's reach.
Chen Lang walked to his seat and sat down.
His new deskmate is named Che Yue.
She was a very quiet little girl with a cute bob haircut.
She glanced at Chen Lang and then turned back, her cheeks slightly flushed, and greeted him softly.
"Hello there."
"Hello there."
Chen Lang responded politely.
After everyone was seated.
Teacher Li stood on the podium and clapped her hands.
"Alright, students, from today onwards, we are all members of the Class 2, Grade 1 family."
"To help everyone get to know each other quickly, let's start with some self-introductions."
"Everyone come up on stage and tell everyone your name and hobbies."
"Who's coming first?"
The classroom was quiet for a moment.
A chubby little hand was the first to be raised high.
A chubby boy walked confidently onto the stage, showing no stage fright whatsoever.
"My name is Zhang Yang. My father is a professor at Wuhan University. I like reading and playing football."
He spoke in a very methodical and organized manner.
