There wasn’t much to do in the afternoon. So, Ye Ning finished her work before getting off. On the way back, she stopped at the mall for a while. She had bought four shops here, and Ye Ning always felt like she belonged here every time she passed by.
“You guys are about to start school soon. You should also review your homework. The teaching in the countryside is still not as good as that in the city.” In fact, Ye Lan didn’t need to be worried about. Ye Ning was thus most worried about Ye An.
“Don’t worry, I will give Xiao An tutoring lessons whenever I have free time this summer. Now he has finished reviewing the second grade textbook. I don’t believe that he will be worse than the people in the city.” Ye Lan was idle at home with nothing to do, so she just helped Ye An review his homework.
Ye Ning glanced at Ye An sympathetically. He had finished reviewing the entire first volume, which showed that he was not free during the summer vacation.
Ye An showed a pitiful expression and reached out to grab the hem of Ye Ning’s clothes. He was very excited to live in the city, but he regretted it within three days. In the city, his second sister wouldn’t let him go out and would ask him to review homework all day long, how could he feel at ease like he felt in the village? In the past, at this time, he should have been swimming, catching loaches, and digging out bird’s nests with his friends.
“Just don’t fall too far behind, but you don’t have to push too hard.”
Ye Lan looked at Ye Ning like a doting parent, “Sister, you said you were worried that Xiao An would be bullied by his classmates if he fell too far behind.”
“Did I say that?” That shouldn’t be her original words, right?
“You have.” Ye Lan had heard her eldest sister say that she was afraid that Ye AN would be bullied at school. She also thought so. The children in the city were arrogant and would probably bully Xiao An who came from the countryside. Neither she nor their eldest sister could protect him in time, but if Xiao An got good grades, the teacher should protect him.
After listening to Ye Lan’s explanation, Ye Ning touched Ye An’s head. It was actually right to think so. Teachers always preferred students with better grades. If Xiao An’s grades were good, classmates in the class would not dare to bully him.
When school started in September, Ye Lan would go to high school and Ye An would go to the second primary school. However, both of them would come back at night, so it would be no different from before.
“How are you getting along with your classmates?” Ye Ning put a piece of meat into Ye An’s bowl.
“The math teacher is a female teacher who is very kind to us. The Chinese teacher… looks a bit serious and is an old teacher. The classmates are all very nice. By the way, the person sitting behind me also lives on Houxi Road. We even made an appointment to go to and from school together.” Ye An went to class for a few days and gradually became familiar with the classmates.
From the look on his face, it didn’t look like he was being fake. It was good if he could make friends. Ye Ning chuckled, “It’s good that you are so destined with them.”
Compared to Ye An, who seemed to be getting along like a fish in water, Ye Lan’s side didn’t seem to be going very smoothly.
“Most of the class is living on campus, and some local students are also living on campus. Those who live in the same dormitory have thus become good friends.” Ye Lan remembered that when she signed up, her eldest sister said that No. 2 Middle School was a little far from Houxi, so she asked her to live on campus. However, she chose go home because she couldn’t afford to live on campus.
She told her at that time, but she refused to listen. Ye Ning sighed, “It’s not just that, is it hard to go to and from school these days?”
“I’m not afraid of this kind of road. I’m used to it in my hometown, I just feel like I can’t fit in.” Ye Lan was a little frustrated.
To put it bluntly, in fact, she still had low self-esteem.
Ye Ning said: “Tomorrow I will go to the teacher and say that the house we live in is too far from the school and walking is a waste of time. You were specially recruited and the teacher will definitely care about you. If you have good grades, she can find you a bed. You can live on campus and go to school well. Besides, if you don’t live on campus this year, you will still have to live on campus next year. It will be even harder to adjust at that time. Don’t worry, it’s too dangerous for you to walk alone at night.”
This time Ye Lan didn’t refuse. The next day, Ye Ning went to the factory to ask for a half-day leave from Director Yang, and then went to school to talk to Ye Lan’s class teacher in relation to things about living on campus.
“I’ve talked to classmate Ye Lan a long time ago. High school is the most critical time, and everything is focused on learning. Moreover, it has been notified from above that students will have to start studying early and study late at night in the first year of high school. It is more convenient to live on campus.”
“I think so, what about the beds?” Ye Ning was worried that the dormitory was full.
“There are still two dormitories with empty beds, one is 305, and the other is 504. You are originally a student of our No. 2 Middle School. You know the difference, so you can choose for yourself.”
Both dormitories had their own advantages. For one the building was shorter, so climbing stairs was less laborious. While the other was five floors high, but the dormitories had only four people living together, so it was relatively spacious.
It was Ye Lan, so she had to ask her for her idea.
“I want to choose 504.” The person sitting in front of her was from 504. They occasionally exchanged a few words, and they would thus get to know each other faster.
Ye Ning nodded, handed over the money to get the key, and then took her to her dormitory.
