Chapter 2
Zhou Chuyang is now over eight years old, and it is the time to grow up. So my grandmother gives her eggs, steam, boil or fry every day. The material life in the countryside is not rich and there are not many nutritional supplements. I can only rely on these. Other children do not have such good conditions.
On this day, Zhou Chuyang pulled his grandparents and said with a serious look on his face: "Grandpa, grandma, I want to tell you something today."
"What's the matter?"
Zhou Chuyang organized the language and said, "That's right. I want to change my surname and change it to the same surname as my grandfather, and the surname Qiao with my grandfather."
Zhou Chuyang is a vengeful person. She doesn't want any more things or traces of that unfaithful father, including his surname. But the bloodline in her body cannot be replaced.
Grandpa and grandma looked at each other in surprise and hurriedly advised: "Yangyang, why did you have this idea?"
In this era, it emphasizes family and surnames, especially the elderly, which represents their own bloodline and respect and inheritance of ancestors. Of course, grandparents could not accept Zhou Chuyang's ideas for a while.
"That's right. I'm eight years old now and should go to school. If I don't have a household registration, I can't go to school. So I want to change my surname, take my grandfather's surname, and go to our family's household registration. If I need to change it in the future, I will change it back." This reason was thought out by Zhou Chuyang for a long time before he thought about it. Grandpa and grandma valued their ancestors and could not let Zhou Chuyang change his surname casually, but grandpa and grandma support Zhou Chuyang's study. It turns out that Zhou Chuyang is the most educated child in the village, and is still a girl, because grandpa and grandma don't want a scholar's daughter to be uneducated, and they are afraid that Zhou Chuyang will be disliked by her father.
Zhou Chuyang's grades were indeed good because she also wanted to find her father, let him see his good grades and praise him. But in the end, because of his high attitude and low skills and high ambitions, he did not get into high school.
In the last life, in order to make Zhou Chuyang study, grandparents spent a lot of effort, and also made uncle, aunt and aunt feel a lot of resentment. They always feel that all the grandchildren and grandchildren are not as good as Zhou Chuyang, which makes grandparents disheartened with them.
In this life, I was able to change my surname and go to school smoothly, killing two birds with one stone.
Grandpa pondered for a moment and said to grandma: "This is indeed a problem, but Yangyang, this is a big deal. Please let me think about it first."
Zhou Chuyang nodded and said, "Grandpa and grandma, don't worry, I will definitely study hard."
Grandpa nodded, and grandma took Zhou Chuyang's hand and sighed.
On this day, my aunt came to the door and saw Zhou Chuyang picking vegetables in the yard, and praised him: "Yang Yang is sensible."
Zhou Chuyang smiled shyly and called out to Auntie.
As the eldest daughter of grandparents, my aunt is the most filial to her grandparents. She often sees the two elders and is also good to Zhou Chuyang.
The aunt brought brown sugar and eggs, but the grandmother refused and said, "Every time you come, you get something, your in-laws have any opinions."
The aunt left the things behind and said, "I am not by your side normally, so of course I can only give you something to your heart."
Grandma told my aunt that Zhou Chuyang wanted to change his surname. The aunt said, "Of course it's great that Yangyang has such an idea. You know, we are just that fool. You know, their family is working hard to support the child in school. When they were popular, everyone laughed at their family for their efforts and money. Now, look at it. The child is now better and more filial to the family, and his life is getting better and better. So we all sent the child to school."
Grandma nodded in agreement, "No matter what, it's always good to know more words."
"It's not only literacy, but also calculating. The kid helps the village chief settle the score. The old man's abacus can't even calculate him. You said that he is so powerful, and this household registration is indeed a problem. Yangyang can't always do this. There was a kid in our previous place. I didn't have a household registration, so the school didn't collect it. The family went to many places and used a lot of effort to get the kid to go to school. I told you, this kid who has no household registration will have to make trouble once every semester. It's very troublesome, and it's much more convenient to get a household registration."
Zhou Chuyang was relieved when he listened to the two of them outside. Because his aunt was filial, he could still listen to his grandparents' words to his aunt.
When my grandfather came back, my aunt told her again, and my grandmother finally decided to put Zhou Chuyang's name on the household registration and change her surname. Anyway, Zhou Chuyang changed her surname to her mother and was not an outsider. It would be the same if she found an opportunity to change her surname in the future. If Zhou Chuyang did not change her surname, she would not be able to get into the household registration here.
Grandpa was very neat in his work and quickly changed Zhou Chuyang's surname and registered his household registration.
Looking at the three words Qiao Chuyang in the household registration book, Qiao Chuyang was so excited that he almost cried.
Grandpa touched Qiao Chuyang's head and said, "Now, I can go to school smoothly."
Qiao Chuyang nodded fiercely and said, "I must study hard, and then earn money to buy a notebook and a pen."
Grandpa was suddenly happy: "Tell me how you make money"
Zhou Chuyang thought for a while and said, "I can go and pick tea, and I can go up the mountain to dig herbs."
Grandpa shook his head and said, "These are not enough, don't worry, grandpa will give you money, you just need to study hard."
Qiao Chuyang nodded, thinking silently about what to make money. In the past, she wanted everything well, and a notebook and a pen were a huge expense. This time, she had to learn to reduce the burden on her grandfather.
When school starts in autumn, every child will take a simple test to see if he can write or not. Basically, it is very simple to write from 1 to 100, and calculate a simple addition and subtraction.
Qiao Chuyang was very successful in school. The teacher looked at the words she wrote with stern words and nodded with satisfaction, while grandparents smiled happily. They had never taught Qiao Chuyang deliberately, but they didn't expect that they would learn it themselves.
One of Qiao Chuyang's few advantages in his previous life was that his writing was well written. Now he has recovered from his child's body and is still a little uncomfortable and his writing skills are not high. I believe that he will recover slowly after practicing for a long time.
The teacher examined several arithmetic questions. Qiao Chuyang could give the answer within one or two seconds, which surprised the teacher. Other children had to count the better ones for half a day, and some of them needed finger counts. Qiao Chuyang could be said to be the smartest child she had ever seen.
The teacher asked Qiao Chuyang and the others to wait, and went to call the principal to come.
The principal is a man in Zhongshan suit. He was beaten to the bullpen when he was in a popular fashion, and now he has been invited to be the principal again, but his character is indeed very good.
The principal looked at Qiao Chuyang's calligraphy, took Qiao Chuyang's arithmetic exam in person, and finally got the double-digit addition and subtraction. Qiao Chuyang suddenly remembered whether he was too outstanding. He hurriedly pretended to think about it and then answered. The principal nodded with satisfaction and asked Qiao Chuyang to write his name again, which Qiao Chuyang quickly wrote.
The principal couldn't help but praise, "What a smart child, you taught me at home."
Grandpa hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, although I know a few words, I don't have time to teach you. I only taught you the name, but I only taught you last night."
Qiao Chuyang couldn't help but sigh secretly, Grandpa, you are too honest
The principal touched Qiao Chuyang's head and said, "Is anyone teaching you how to write and arithmetic?"
Qiao Chuyang pretended to be naive and said, "No, the calculation is to help grandma calculate money and count chickens and eggs, and the writing is to read grandpa's herbal books."
"What a smart child." The principal praised.
Grandpa smiled and said, "Maybe the child's father is an intellectual, so the child is smarter."
The principal smiled. As an intellectual, he knew that this explanation was unreliable, but there was no other explanation except for the statement that Qiao Chuyang was born smarter.
"It's a good thing for the child to be smart. Let's do it. She'll just go to the second grade and skip the first grade." The principal said to his grandparents.
Grandpa and grandma were still hesitant, and the principal said, "Since the child knows how to write, he doesn't need to go to the first grade. It's a waste of time and delays the child's study."
Grandpa and grandma agreed.
Qiao Chuyang has no objection to going to the second grade directly, and he wants to jump to more grades. If she follows a group of kids and read a, o, e, or 1, 2, and 3, she will not be used to it.
The teacher took Qiao Chuyang to the second grade. There were a few children Qiao Chuyang knew in the second grade class, but they were not very familiar with each other.
When I returned home in the evening, my grandfather was very happy because Qiao Chuyang had asked the principal to praise him. In the simple countryside, in the eyes of these villagers, the principal praised the child with more value than the teacher praised the child.
In the evening, grandfather took Qiao Chuyang's hand and kept reminding Qiao Chuyang to study hard and not to shame his father who is an intellectual.
Qiao Chuyang didn't want to hear anything about scumbag father, and asked, "Grandpa, is my mother smart?"
Grandpa said happily: "Why aren't smart? I'm not smart before someone bullied your grandma to do not study well, and calculated the work points randomly. I calculated the fewer it for your grandma. It was all pointed out by your mother."
Qiao Chuyang shook his head and said, "I look like my mother."
The grandma beside her angrily said, "Old man, you arranged me in front of your granddaughter again."
"Hehe, what I'm talking about is the real thing?"
The next day, Daniu came to Qiao Chuyang to go to school. Daniu sniffed his nose and said, "Yangyang, why are you so powerful? The principal praised you."
Qiao Chuyang nodded, "It's okay, if you study hard, the principal will praise you."
Big Bull is a person who can’t sit still, it’s good if you don’t take the exam for zero eggs.
"Uh" Daniu didn't want to say this, so he hurriedly changed the topic and said: "My mother asked me to protect you. If someone bullies you in the school, tell me and I will beat him up."
Qiao Chuyang responded with a smile.
At first, the principal was worried that Qiao Chuyang would not be able to keep up with him. After seeing him several times, the teacher also specially asked Qiao Chuyang to answer questions several times. Qiao Chuyang's performance naturally made the principal very satisfied.
The principal said: "Yangyang, if you can get double hundred in the next exam, I will let you go to the third grade class, do you think it's okay?"
Qiao Chuyang tilted his head and said, "If you get the double hundred exam, will you be rewarded?"
Pretending to be innocent is to avoid other people's suspicion. After all, something like jumping to level is already very eye-catching.
The principal did not doubt that he was there and laughed and said, "If you get a double hundred exam, you will be rewarded with a few notebooks, a pen and a bottle of ink. Do you think it's okay?"
