Chapter 615 Nothing to do
When they arrived at the bow and arrow compound, the brother and sister strolled around curiously. He chose a smaller bow and arrow that suited him, and then took Wang Li to a roadside wonton stall to eat a bowl of wontons before going home.

When they got home, Wang Zhan started moving things to the cellar. There was a storage cellar in the northwest corner of the front yard. Wang Li was also busy with the work, but Wang Zhan did not allow her to go down to the cellar.

Just after they finished moving and were thinking about carrying the car in, Sister Wang appeared with an oil-paper bag. Sister Wang helped Wang Zhan carry the car in and asked, "Where have you been, brother and sister?"

"Aunt Wang, we went shopping for groceries and just came back and are moving them to the cellar. Are you looking for me?" Wang Zhan said.

Sister Wang smiled and said, "Yes, I'm looking for you. Let's go inside and talk."

Wang Zhan led Sister Wang to the front yard living room, then went to the kitchen to make a cup of tea for Sister Wang. At this time, Wang Li also ran over from the backyard and called out sweetly, "Aunt Wang, Happy New Year!"

Wang Zhan and Sister Wang were both stunned, then they both laughed. Wang Zhan said, "Look at my brain. I am not as good as my sister. I even forgot to wish you a happy new year."

Sister Wang said to Wang Li, "Happy New Year to you too. I'm here to give you some Yuanxiao (Chinese Lantern Festival dumplings), which are for the military families." Sister Wang deliberately omitted a word.

Wang Zhan took the bag and thanked him repeatedly.

Sister Wang continued, "I've already contacted the primary school for you. It's Red Star Primary School, Grade 3, Class 2. I'll take you there to complete the paperwork tomorrow."

Wang Zhan said, "Thank you, Aunt Wang. I am really sorry to bother you. By the way, can I take my sister to school?"

Wang Li looked at Sister Wang with expectation. Sister Wang said, "I have already discussed this with the principal. He agrees that you can bring your sister to school, but you can only sit at the last table because he is afraid that it will affect other children."

Wang Zhan smiled and said, "That's fine. As long as I can bring my sister with me, it doesn't matter where I sit."

Sister Wang told Wang Zhan some things to pay attention to when going to school and then left Keyuan.

When Wang Li heard Sister Wang say that she would bring her own lunch to school, she asked, "Brother, what are we going to bring tomorrow? We can't just carry the pot with us, right?"

Wang Zhan said: "The chef left his big lunch box for us. It's in the kitchen."

Wang Li finally felt relieved and went out to play. Wang Zhan went to the kitchen and started braising the offal and pork.

In the evening, Wang Zhan cooked rice, scrambled eggs with green onions, pickled cabbage with vinegar, and cut some braised dishes.

The brother and sister were very happy with their meal. Wang Zhan said, "For lunch tomorrow, I will bring two boiled eggs and fried cabbage. The staple food will be corn cakes. We can't bring meat or vegetables, understand?"

"Why?" Wang Li asked puzzledly.

“Don’t show off your wealth. Most of the students in that primary school are ordinary people who live a hard life. We can’t be different. Besides, we are two children with no source of income. If we eat too well, people will take advantage of us.” Wang Zhan said.

Wang Li blinked her big eyes and said, "Then you have to make it up to me when you get home tonight."

Wang Zhan smiled and replied, "Don't worry, we can eat anything at home, but we have to stick to lunch, but don't tell anyone, understand?" Wang Li nodded and lowered her head to eat. At this time, she kept eating braised meat. On March 1, 1953, Sister Wang came early to pick up Wang Zhan and his sister. The brother and sister had already eaten breakfast. Wang Zhan was carrying a military satchel, and his sister was also carrying one, which was bulging. Even Wang Zhan didn't know what his sister brought.

When they arrived at Hongxing Primary School, Sister Wang took the brother and sister to see the principal. The principal's surname was Ren, and Principal Ren knew Wang Zhan's background. Not only had Sister Wang looked for him, but people from the Ministry of Education had also instructed him. So Principal Ren warmly received the brother and sister, and personally took them to complete Wang Zhan's admission procedures, and then handed him over to a female teacher named Yang.

Teacher Yang was very gentle. She kept looking at Wang Li. It seemed that she liked this little girl. She took Wang Li's hand and said to Wang Zhan, "Let's go to the classroom. I am your head teacher and also your Chinese teacher."

Wang Zhan bowed and said, "Hello, Teacher Yang. Please take care of me in the future."

Teacher Yang took the siblings to a classroom on the second floor, led the two into the classroom, and stood on the podium. The class was Teacher Yang's Chinese class. Teacher Yang said, "Today, we have a new student in our class, named Wang Zhan. Let's welcome Wang Zhan with warm applause."

Wang Zhan stood on the podium and bowed to the whole class. The classmates all applauded enthusiastically. Teacher Yang waited for a while, then signaled everyone to stop, and then said, "That little girl is Wang Zhan's sister. Because there is no one at home, she can only bring her sister to school. Everyone must give way to this lovely little sister in the future, understand?"

"Got it." The students in the class said in unison, and then Teacher Yang pointed to the last double desk in the first row and said, "Student Wang Zhan, you and your sister will sit at that desk. Go ahead, I'll get you the textbook later."

Wang Zhan took his sister to his desk and asked his sister to sit against the wall. After she sat down, Wang Zhan took out her pencil case and notebook and placed them on the desk.

Wang Li's eyes were full of excitement. She looked around and everything was new to her. Wang Zhan then looked up to observe his classmates. When he looked up, he saw a little girl in the third row in front of him waving at him. Wang Zhan was delighted. He didn't expect that he was in the same class with He Yushui. She also responded. After a while, Teacher Yang came back and gave Wang Zhan the textbook first, then returned to the podium and said, "Class begins!"

"Stand up!" At this time a boy stood up in front and shouted, and everyone stood up.

"Hello, students!" said Teacher Yang.

"Hello, teacher!" the students shouted in unison.

"Sit down, the class starts now. We learned this in the last class," Teacher Yang began to lecture.

Wang Zhan also turned to the page the teacher was talking about, listened carefully, and looked at his sister from time to time. Wang Li was still very well behaved. She took out her toys and started playing with them. Those were the building blocks that Wang Zhan made for her. The table was very flat, so Wang Li had a lot of fun playing with them.

The bell rang, and Wang Zhan's first class in his life ended. He Yushui rushed over, handed Wang Zhan a piece of paper, and said, "This is the schedule I copied for you."

"Thank you, this is my sister Wang Li. Sister, this is sister He Yushui." Wang Zhan introduced.

"Hello, sister!" Wang Li called out sweetly, and He Yushui responded with a smile: "Hello, sister!"

At this time, Wang Zhan asked: "Yushui, where is the hot meal? I brought a lunch box with me this afternoon. Let's eat together at noon."

He Yushui said, "Okay, I usually eat in this cafeteria. Come on, I'll take you to the boiler room."

He Yushui took Wang Zhan and his sister to the boiler room outside the teaching building. There was a man in his fifties in the boiler room. In addition to burning the boiler, he was also responsible for heating meals for the students.
