Chapter 258 Slow down

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, at three o'clock in the morning, the wind was cold. On the dark night road, an old man and a girl who were wrapped around his body were walking slowly. The old man was hunched over and pushed a small cart with some bedding and clothes on the car, while the girl pulled the old man's clothes and followed him slowly.

These two are Zhao Yuejun and his grandfather.

Zhao Yuejun's grandfather was afraid of seeing people, afraid of being pointed at by others, and even more afraid of his granddaughter being pointed at by others. So he decided to take Zhao Yuejun to the school while there was no one. The journey was not far, and it took about an hour to send him to the school.

As the grandfather and grandson walked like this, they went from Zhaojia Village to Shijia Village, and then passed the bridge in Shijia Village.

Grandpa Zhao, who had been silent, spoke, "Yuejun, we are about to pass the bridge."

"The bridge? Is the road built on the water that I often tell me?" Zhao Yuejun said with a smile, "It's true, I heard the sound of water."

Zhao Yuejun said to himself again, "But, what does this bridge look like?"

Grandpa Zhao stopped, sat on the shore to rest and said, "There are many kinds of bridges, some are curved and some are straight. The bridge in front of us is straight. This bridge was built by Principal Lin for Shijia Village, and also by our Kushan people."

"Then Principal Lin is such a good person." Zhao Yuejun stood beside his grandfather and said, "She wanted to see what the bridge that Teacher Lin built looked like, but unfortunately she couldn't see it."

Grandpa Zhao stood up and continued to push the cart forward. Zhao Yuejun pulled the corner of his clothes and followed him slowly.

"Hold my clothes and don't walk around." Grandpa Zhao joked, "Otherwise it falls into the river and be careful that the fish will eat you."

"Ah, no, I don't want to be eaten." Zhao Yuejun grabbed the corner of his grandfather's clothes with both hands.

Zhao Yuejun still has an impression of fish. Her father bought the fish and touched it carefully. She still remembers that the fish is long, round and smooth, and its tail is divided into two pointed ones, but she doesn't know what it looks like. Just like the rabbit in her heart, she only knows that the rabbit has long ears, furry body, four feet and a short round tail. She doesn't know what it looks like, and she can't imagine it.

By the way, the fish has no feet. Zhao Yuejun still remembers this, but has two small wings.

Regarding anything, Zhao Yuejun only had a pieced outline in his mind.

"Yuejun, listen carefully to the teacher when you arrive at school. It will definitely not be easy for them to take care of you like this. You have to thank them." Zhao Yuejun's grandfather said in a nagging manner.

Zhao Yuejun said, "Well, I know, grandpa."

Zhao Yuejun's grandfather said again: "If you really suffer any grievances, I will secretly tell your brother and ask your brother to tell me that grandfather will seek justice for you."

"Yes." Zhao Yuejun smiled, "No, Teacher Lin is so good, I won't be wronged."

"Oh," Zhao Yuejun's grandfather sighed, "I hope so."

Soon, the grandfather and grandson arrived at the school. The gate of the school was now open and the kitchen was brightly lit.

This is a custom in Kushan. Every household gets up early on the New Year and then opens the door to welcome visitors to pay New Year's greetings.

Although Zhongguo Hope School is a school, Ma Zhongguo and Feng Chunxiu have already regarded it as their homes. They also got up early and opened the school gate according to Kushan's customs. Lin Ping was still sleeping in the quilt.

But he was destined to not sleep in. When he was asleep, he was woken up by Ma Zhongguo's knock on the door: "College student, get up!"

Lin Ping opened his hazy eyes and looked at the table below at 4:30. Although he knew that he had gotten up early for the New Year's dinner on the first day of the New Year, he didn't have to be so early.

Ma Zhongguo continued: "The little girl who is invisible to others is here with his grandfather."

When Lin Ping heard this, he immediately got up from the bed, then put on his clothes and walked out of the room. Although he said that he would send Zhao Yuejun to school after the New Year, Lin Ping was sent to the first day of the New Year.

Zhao Yuejun and her grandfather were squatting in the kitchen, and Liu Qingmei and her mother Feng Chunxiu were standing next to her. The fire was being cooked here, which was warmer.

Seeing Lin Ping coming, Grandpa Zhao quickly stood up and said, "Yuejun has sent it to you."

Lin Ping looked at the grandfather and grandson: "I didn't expect you to send this child here on the first day of the Lunar New Year. I thought you would let her stay at home for a few more days."

Grandpa Zhao family shook his head: "The new year has a new beginning. Let Yuejun stay in school from today. I have brought her bedding and clothes."

When the Zhao family entered the school, when he saw such good conditions in the school, he felt that sending Zhao Yuejun to the school was the right choice. He also understood that although sending Zhao Yuejun to the school was actually to let the school adopt his granddaughter Zhao Yuejun. From then on, his contact with his granddaughter would fade, and Zhao Yuejun would no longer have to go back to that home.

Grandpa Zhao turned his head and said to his granddaughter Zhao Yuejun, "Yuejun, you will stay here from now on. It is better than our family, with food and drink, and there are many good people. It is also clean and hygienic, so you don't have to go back."

Zhao Yuejun didn't speak in a daze, but tears fell from the corners of his eyes.

"Don't cry, it's so good here. Grandpa is old and can't afford to support you siblings and brothers, and can't take care of you anymore. Your brother also goes to school here, so you siblings and brothers still have some care." Zhao Yuejun's grandfather said softly.

Zhao Yuejun nodded softly and said nothing, and she knew that she would rarely see her grandfather in the future.

"Okay, I'll leave." Zhao Yuejun's grandfather seemed unwilling to stay here anymore. He felt very uncomfortable and wanted to leave this place quickly.

"Grandpa Zhao family, stay for breakfast." Lin Ping said.

"No, no, no." Grandpa Zhao family shook his head firmly.

Seeing that his firm attitude was not forcibly staying, Lin Ping said to Feng Chunxiu: "Aunt Feng, decorate the old man with New Year's goods and let him take it back."

"No, no." Grandpa Zhao family shook his head firmly again, "You gave us so much last time, but you haven't finished eating yet."

But Lin Ping grabbed him and said, "Take it and give Zhao Wuji more good food."

Feng Chunxiu prepared a large number of New Year’s goods for Grandpa Zhao’s family, including pasta and various meats. Grandpa Zhao’s family took these things with gratitude, lowered his head and said, “Thank you, thank you Principal Lin, thank you school.”

Lin Ping looked at Grandpa Zhao and said, "If there are any difficulties at home in the future, just tell the school that the school can help you and the children."

Grandpa Zhao thanked him, then pushed his car and walked out of the school gate.

The sound of the cart was getting farther and farther away, and Zhao Yuejun shouted loudly: "Grandpa!"

Grandpa Zhao stopped.

Zhao Yuejun said in tears: "You go slowly."

"Why."

Grandpa Zhao agreed, then pushed the cart and disappeared into the night.
