Chapter 20 Stupid Children and Nine Dragons Pulling Coffins (5000-word chapter)
Registration for Junsha public primary schools has already started. Originally, parents only needed to prepare the materials as required to register, but there were still queues all night long at the gates of many primary schools.
I pity the hearts of parents in the world.
It's just that times have changed, and the way we deal with and respond to many things has also changed. However, the people's hearts and concepts of the older generation have not kept up with the times.
For example, Junsha's primary school registration now adopts online pre-registration and on-site registration confirmation. The education department has repeatedly emphasized and confirmed that school-age children in the school district will be admitted. The class schedule is also randomly generated by computers. However, some parents still think that I queue up all night long.
Then you must give me the best priority, otherwise you will prepare the whole family to make trouble.
There are also some people with ulterior motives who spread information about the quota limit, the saturation of first-grade students, the signing of contracts with real estate developers, etc., causing emotional tension among registered parents.
Zhou Shuling has already registered online. The registration for first-year primary school freshmen is divided into categories such as "household with house, house without house, house without house, house without house" and other types. Zhou Dongdong's household registration has always been here, and now he also buys it.
After buying a house, the transfer procedures were completed, and the registration went smoothly. However, Zhou Shuling still felt unsettled, so she went to a private elementary school with a good reputation and a very popular reputation to try to register.
Of course, private primary school enrollment does not guarantee that everyone will be admitted. The primary school entrance exam is a must. Unsurprisingly, the child Zhou Dongdong was happily eliminated in the entrance exam.
"You are really free." Liu Changan was carrying the dishes and listened to Zhou Shuling's complaints about how difficult it was to go to elementary school.
"I can go to first grade again when I grow up!" Zhou Dongdong said happily, carrying an empty schoolbag.
"Why don't you grow up and go back into my belly? I want to give birth to a new one." Zhou Shuling hated that the teacher in charge of the primary school entrance examination looked at her with sympathetic eyes. Naturally, she was proud and disdainful at the time, but she replied
I will definitely beat Zhou Dongdong from now on.
"You don't have a husband anymore, how can you give birth?" Zhou Dongdong asked curiously and with some relief, "If you give birth to me again, will I still be so powerful?"
"What's so great about you?" Liu Changan couldn't tell at all, "Eating three bowls in one meal is your greatest skill, right?"
"yes!"
"That pig can eat as much as a bathtub in one meal. Pigs are much more powerful than you."
"Really!" Zhou Dongdong's eyes widened in disbelief.
Zhou Shuling sighed, "Today, other children had talent shows, singing, dancing, cross talk, painting, harmonica and so on... I asked her to perform and dance too, but she forgot about it when she stood on the stage and took it out of her pocket.
Take out two dates and tell the teacher that she wants to perform a performance of eating two dates at the same time."
"After waiting for so long, I'm hungry..." Zhou Dongdong reached out and took out the pockets on both sides. He had finished eating the dates. When you are hungry, your mind can only think about things related to eating. Isn't it natural?
"That won't work." Liu Changan shook his head at Zhou Shuling, "It's dangerous to eat two jujubes at the same time. Zhou Dongdong, next time you have to perform two Xiao Long Bao at the same time."
"I really like this kind of performance!"
Zhou Shuling angrily punched Liu Changan and Zhou Dongdong.
Back home, Zhou Shuling asked Liu Changan to stop the fire, took the vegetables bought by Liu Changan, and prepared to go to the kitchen.
Of course, Zhou Shuling can’t really only cook crayfish, she just likes to eat crayfish, so what she cooks for midnight snacks is basically crayfish.
While eating, Zhou Dongdong moved a basin to serve the rice. He wanted to prove himself, but was scolded by Zhou Shuling, so he had to eat three bowls and felt that he was no longer powerful at all.
Liu Changan saw packing boxes in the living room. Zhou Shuling said they were winter clothes and packed them first.
Liu Changan received fifty yuan, and then helped Zhou Shuling and Zhou Dongdong move their winter clothes upstairs. After looking at the almanac, he saw that tomorrow would be a good day, so he made an appointment to move tomorrow.
Zhou Shuling really wanted to say that every man in the family is not good enough. Thanks to meeting Liu Changan, but after seeing that Liu Changan was no longer the young boy he first met, she couldn't say this. After all, they are all adults, so it is inevitable to say this.
There are some ambiguous meanings, but if we all get along well, we still have to be careful not to be embarrassed, lest he avoids anything.
"Brother Chang'an, then we move upstairs, and you will move here?" Zhou Dongdong asked with great anticipation.
Liu Changan thought for a while and nodded.
"Then if you hear me jumping around the room from now on, come and play with me!"
"I'll beat you up when I come up."
"I hid under the bed."
"Then you will be beaten by your mother."
"Why do you have to hit me!"
"Yeah, so pitiful."
Zhou Dongdong thought for a while, sniffed, and hummed twice before feeling miserable and crying. However, Zhou Dongdong was not really scared, because Brother Changan only talked, except patting his butt.
, I never really beat her like my mother, making her scream indiscriminately.
Zhou Shuling squeezed three cups of juice, and Zhou Dongdong immediately took the juice and sat on a small bench and drank it quietly.
"Give me two hundred yuan, and I'll treat you to dinner and help you with Zhou Dongdong's study." Liu Changan looked at Zhou Dongdong's concentrated drinking of juice and shook his head.
"Okay!" Zhou Shuling was very surprised. Although she had always thought that those who could manipulate things like a primary school degree were extremely powerful people, Liu Changan, a high school student, could do it for two hundred yuan? Most people would definitely find it incredible.
, if it is true, there are many people who are willing to pay 20,000 or 200,000 yuan, but for a high school student, no one except Zhou Shuling will believe it for 200 yuan.
Zhou Shuling immediately sent a red envelope to Liu Changan. She sat upright with her hands on her knees and watched Liu Changan receive the red envelope expectantly.
Liu Changan called Qin Yanan.
It took a while for the call to be connected.
"Cousin." Liu Changan's attitude was very correct. After all, he was asking for help. "Zhou Dongdong is going to elementary school. Could you please find the best school near our community? The key is to say hello to the teacher. I hope it is one
The kind of class teacher who is gentle and patient and won’t treat students with bad grades badly.”
There was no sound on the other end of the phone.
Liu Changan was just confused when he heard the reply, "Okay."
The voice was relatively low, and it was unclear whether it contained any emotion, but it was obviously a little different from the usual Qin Yanan.
"Do you like Zhou Dongdong very much?" Qin Yanan still asked in a very low voice.
"I think stupid children need more care, which is the meaning of social justice. She can also be educated well and cannot give up so early."
"I'm witty..." Zhou Dongdong finished drinking the juice. Hearing the words "stupid kid", he subconsciously retorted, but Zhou Shuling immediately covered her mouth to stop her from disturbing Liu Changan's call. Zhou Shuling was
Nervously looking forward to something happening.
"Okay, please send me her name and the ID number on the household registration book."
Liu Changan signaled to Zhou Shuling, who quickly took out the household registration book from the bag on the sofa, and Liu Changan read the number to Qin Yanan.
"Okay, wait for my good news." Qin Yanan was about to hang up the phone.
"I'll treat you to dinner and I'll cook."
"good."
Liu Changan hung up the phone and his mood was slightly affected. People are always most susceptible to the influence of habits. They are used to Qin Yanan's tone and emotion when talking to him. Now her changes have affected Liu Changan... It seems that he still has some problems.
It was easy to blend the feelings of Qin Yanan and Ye Sijin together in a daze, otherwise Liu Changan would not notice the attitudes of ordinary people.
What's going on? Liu Changan put down his phone and drank juice.
"Is this done?" Zhou Shuling picked up Zhou Dongdong, which was really hard.
"No problem, she knows people from the education department. She found a nearby elementary school to make it easier for her to get to and from get out of class."
Zhou Dongdong opened his mouth and looked at Liu Changan blankly, "I'm going to be sent to elementary school!"
Liu Changan continued to nod.
How could this be possible? She obviously failed to register, her mother said she wanted to put her back in her belly, she wanted to wait until she grew up to go to elementary school, and she was already looking forward to sitting on a small bench under the sycamore tree.
Why did this beautiful child who grew up feeding loaches suddenly change?
Having a baby is so hard.
Liu Changan went downstairs after drinking the juice, packed up his things, and planned to move upstairs according to the situation after Zhou Shuling moved tomorrow.
His belongings mainly include a few sets of clothes, some daily equipment, pots, shovels, kitchen utensils, etc. The rest are the books accumulated over time.
After cleaning up, it was already midnight. Liu Changan walked out of the room and looked around. He felt that both Mrs. Karnstein and the third wife seemed to have been quiet for a while.
At least it felt like there was no surveillance arranged in the community. It seemed that the words I wrote on the telegraph pole must have played a role.
Maybe it was for other reasons, but Liu Changan wasn't very concerned.
He went to the carriage to take a look as usual. The coffin seemed to have a calm and peaceful atmosphere at present, and it was not as full of ghost stories as it was at first. If it was not given to the little hen, it would be fine. If it was given to the little hen, it would be fine too.
He still eats and seems to be well nourished, and somewhat reserved like the master of the harem.
"Dan Dan, something happened last night that convinced me of the magic of this coffin." Liu Changan exclaimed softly, "Have you heard of the story of the Nine Dragons pulling the coffin?"
Naturally, Shangguan Dandan has never been heard of.
"Life is the greatest miracle in the world. In the vast universe and the boundless starry sky, many people speculate that the earth may be the only source of life... In other words, on June 11, 2010, outside the International Space Station, it was cold and cold
In the universe that coexists with darkness, the nine behemoths are motionless, as if they have been there for eternity, making people feel the endless desolation and eternity, but they are actually nine dragon corpses!"
"No different from the dragons in myths and legends."
"Each dragon corpse is a hundred meters long, and a black iron rope as thick as a bowl is tied to the end, leading to the dark space behind the nine dragon corpses, where a mouth of twenty-year length is quietly hanging.
rice bronze coffin."
Liu Changan paused for a moment, "Of course, I know that your coffin does not have nine dragons to pull it, although based on your status and the story of the emperor slaying the dragon in our traditional culture, there are nine dragons to pull it for you.
It cannot be said that the status of the coffin does not match, but the key point is that based on my experience, it is very regrettable that there are no dragons in myths and legends on our earth."
Liu Changan gently touched the painting on the coffin. The dragon pattern on it had simple lines and exaggerated shapes, which was quite imposing.
"Okay, let's continue telling the story of the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin... The giant bronze coffin is simple and unpretentious. There are some vague ancient patterns on it, full of the vicissitudes of time. I don't know how many years it has been floating in the universe..."
Liu Changan stopped after finishing the first chapter of this novel, "Okay, let's talk about politics next. For you, politics is a must-learn subject. Karl Marx once said that philosophers just use different
way to explain the world, and the problem is to change the world... So this is why Marx is the top philosopher, and other philosophers are probably a lower level..."
"You tell the story of the coffin pulling in Kowloon..."
Shangguan's dull voice finally sounded in the carriage again after a month.
"Then first tell me what this coffin is about. Don't fool me about the ritual of sealing and burying souls. It may have something to do with it, but it is definitely not something that can draw blood and vitality, or even make other people lose their flesh and blood.
Corruption, the reason for reshaping life." Liu Changan did not expect that his sudden idea would really arouse Shangguan Dandan's curiosity and desire to listen to stories.
Little girls love to listen to stories.
Shangguan Dandan definitely knows a little more about coffins than Liu Changan, but it is impossible to know them all. The story of using a nine-dragon to pull a coffin will naturally arouse her thoughts.
"This is my baby."
"Your treasure? A coffin has become your treasure? Is it the kind of treasure that if I call you, do you dare to agree? By the way, I have never told you about Journey to the West. This coffin is the kind used by gods.
baby?"
Shangguan Dandan didn't speak anymore, Liu Changan was not surprised, but a little regretful.
Of course, he would not tell her the story of the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin again. Liu Changan continued to talk about politics: "If everyone could have their wishes come true, then maybe there would be no so-called politics in the world. People have too much interest in politics."
There are so many different understandings, but no matter which understanding you prefer, you must admit that the birth of politics is in the process of people competing, competing, dragging, and even fighting with others to put forward some words to explain to people why they are
Choices and practices are legitimate, while others are improper. Politics can be a set of rhetoric about individual interests or collective interests..."
Political science was naturally not as interesting as the story of the Kowloon coffin puller. Shangguan Dandan did not interrupt him again, nor did he ask him to continue talking when he stopped.
Liu Changan himself was inspired by it. This coffin was naturally not the one used in Kowloon, but maybe there were some similarities?
So Liu Changan went to read novels. Reading some online novels before going to bed is a very comfortable thing. Reading a little every day is good for keeping your mind active and your body and mind happy.
After leaving the stall the next day, Liu Changan, who had paid fifty yuan for the moving fee, put on a large vest and pants, and put a towel on his shoulders to help Zhou Shuling move.
Zhou Dongdong carried her string of broken firecrackers tied with cotton thread, and put her toy chickens and other things in her schoolbag to help with the work.
Liu Changan carried the bed first. Zhou Shuling wanted to help, but Liu Changan pushed her aside and stopped moving. She was stunned to see Liu Changan carrying such a big wooden bed as flexibly as he was carrying Zhou Dongdong's small bench.
Men are so awesome. Many times, when women see men using their strength to do things that women can't do, they can't help but feel admiration.
This is an extremely simple matter for Liu Changan, but when other neighbors pass by on the corridor, he still has to act more serious, holding a big bed and turning it around. Zhou Shuling and Zhou Dongdong are amazed.
I shouted and had no other reaction. If other normal neighbors saw him, they would inevitably be stunned... It would be fine if the strangers were stunned. The neighbors who looked up but looked down looked at him suspiciously, which was not low-key enough.
Liu Changan was very strong and fast, and he finished the move in an hour. If Zhou Dongdong hadn't been carrying a small stool from time to time, and the small stool was blocking the way on the stairs, it would have been faster.
"You guys clean up your house. If you have time, help me clean the downstairs. I'll go to the stall and sell a few more bowls of noodles." Liu Changan wiped his head with a towel and said.
"Yes, your house was clean when you moved in, and it should be tidied up when you leave." Zhou Shuling said matter-of-factly.
"I'll mop the floor for you!"
"don't want."
"I can work!"
"Using your face or butt is more like it."
"Am I the kind of kid who rolls on the floor?"
"of course."
"How come I don't remember rolling on the ground?"
"You don't even remember the things that are bad for you."
"oh……"
Liu Changan went to sell rice noodles.
Business is still good, and some people complained that the stall was open so late today. Fortunately, I looked back and ate this bowl of noodles in the morning, and I felt that the day was complete.
Liu Changan was very satisfied, this is the meaning that good food should have.
At noon, Liu Changan saw Qin Yanan walking towards him.
Her style today is completely different. She is no longer wearing a cheongsam, nor is she as elegant and elegant as a lilac-sweet girl in a small town. Instead, she is wearing a fluffy A-line skirt, with extremely slender legs and seven-centimeter high heels.
Her long hair was spread loosely, with light, distant bangs on her smooth forehead.
"Are you going to become an Internet celebrity and open a Taobao store?" Liu Changan glanced at Qin Yanan, who was walking over holding an umbrella, and asked with a little surprise, "Use your Bentley as the background and take a few product pictures, perfect."
"Zhou Dongdong's degree is settled, so after I asked Uncle Ma to say hello, I asked my father's secretary to call the principal. I know you are afraid that Zhou Dongdong's academic performance is too poor and he will be discriminated against in school...
But it is inevitable for public schools to focus on performance, so teachers can only encourage and educate more." Qin Yanan walked over, scanned the code, and said, "Here comes a bowl of rice noodles and less oil soup."
"OK."
"How can you be so calm?" Qin Yanan paid the money and looked at Liu Changan seriously as if nothing really happened that night.
