Reborn As Lucky Star-Chapter 180 - Yue Qingqings Student Career Begins

Chapter 180: Chapter 180 Yue Qingqing’s Student Career Begins Chapter 180 -180 Yue Qingqing’s Student Career Begins The village school didn’t have many formalities regarding enrollment, not requiring a unified start date within the school year.

As long as parents were willing, they could send their children to school at any time.

Regrettably, even though the country had been consistently emphasizing the implementation of nine years of compulsory education, there were not many parents in the village who were willing to send their children to school.

One reason was tradition, everyone believed that farmers’ descendants should focus on farming rather than learning much; recognizing and writing their own name was considered sufficient.

Another reason was the issue of promotion rates during that era, as very few students managed to pass the examinations to advance in their studies.

Let alone a university graduate, having someone in the family who made it to a secondary vocational school was an extraordinary accomplishment.

Therefore, many in the village believed it was unnecessary to send children to strive for a limited opportunity when they could learn to farm at home.

Lin Chunju, however, was different; she always instilled the importance of education in her children.

Not just to stand out, but more importantly, to become enlightened and wise, to understand the world in various ways.

Early in the morning Lin Chunju specially woke up early and cooked fried dough sticks and sunny-side-up eggs for her three children.

“Study hard so that you can score one hundred percent on every test in the future.”

Yue Xiaohu devoured his food, the runny yolk from his egg dripping onto his chin.

The child didn’t yet understand what going to school meant; he just thought it was a change of play space.

In her previous life, Yue Qingqing was taught by a master and had secretly visited a mortal school.

She had seen students who couldn’t recite their lessons get struck on the palms with an iron ruler by their teacher.

Thinking about this, Yue Qingqing couldn’t help but feel anxious.

Yue Xiaofang wiped her mouth, “Be good, study hard at school, and in a few days, your aunt will make you a new school bag that looks absolutely great.”

Yue Xingxing showed off her own school bag right in front of her younger siblings.

“You’ll have one very soon.”

When Yue Xingxing stepped out the door, she took on a commanding tone like an adult, holding a hand of each sibling, “Listen to the teacher in school, do not disrupt the class, do you hear me?”

Yue Xiaohu, half-understanding, was distracted by a locust he spotted on the way and chased after it.

He caught it and was about to put it in his makeshift paper bag to take to school for fun.

Yue Xingxing sternly prohibited it, “No! The teacher will scold you for that.”

Yue Xiaohu pouted, and only then realized that school might not be as fun as he thought, and he began to fuss about not wanting to go to school halfway there.

Yue Qingqing ran a fingertip down his face, “Xiaohu, don’t cry. Aren’t men supposed to be brave? Are you scared of going to school?”

Provoked by her words, Yue Xiaohu immediately wiped his tears and proclaimed loudly, “I am not scared! Not at all!”

Wang Xiaoni, watching her son’s tear-stained cheeks, couldn’t help but smile and took out a handkerchief to clean his face.

There were only three teachers in the school now, two of whom were male educators who were formerly sent-down youths.

Having no close relatives in the city, they chose to settle down and live in Daye Village after they married.

The other teacher was a woman who had only completed junior high school, but she was sufficiently competent to teach the few older children in the village.

The teachers were all pleased to see new students enrolling.

The eldest among them, Dong Kang, collected the tuition fees and handed two sets of textbooks to Yue Qingqing and Yue Xiaohu.

Yue Qingqing flipped through them and noticed that the textbooks looked somewhat worn, with dark marks from pencil drawings on them.

Dong Kang explained, “The conditions are poor now, textbooks are passed down from the older to the younger students, we can only use old ones.”

Zhang Ying quickly agreed, “The most important thing is to learn from the teacher, it doesn’t matter whether the textbooks are old or new.”

As she spoke, she placed a basket she brought with her on the table in the teacher’s dormitory.

Another male teacher, Lian Wenxing, hastily tried to refuse it, “No need, you’ve already paid the tuition fees.”

Wang Xiaoni said, “They’re just eggs from our own hens, they’re not worth much.”

The teachers declined several times, but ultimately accepted.

The three children from the Yue family were led to the classroom, and Yue Qingqing’s days as a student officially began.
