Zhang Ran raised her wrist to check the time; it was already past six in the morning.
Too lazy to go back to sleep, she took advantage of the fact that no one was drawing water from the communal well, and went to the well with a bucket in each hand to fetch water. As usual, she made several trips back and forth, filled the water tank, put down the buckets, and boiled water to wash up.
With a creak, the door was pushed open, and Fu Qin walked out, yawning and stretching. She looked at Zhang Ran, who was brushing her teeth and washing up, and asked, "Who's knocking on the door so early in the morning?" The noise kept her from getting any sleep.
"Sini".
Si Ni? Upon hearing this name, Fu Qin immediately perked up, all her drowsiness vanishing. "Her whole family knows you're a woman, what's she doing here?"
“She went out to work and came to say goodbye to me,” Zhang Ran explained.
"Oh," Fu Qin responded, then suddenly remembered something and asked, "What's Si Ni called? And Liu Ni, I always hear you calling her Liu Ni, Liu Ni."
Zhang Ran paused for a moment, then said, "They don't have real names."
"What? No name?" Fu Qin was extremely surprised and couldn't believe it. In this day and age, there are still people who don't have names?!
Zhang Ran looked at her and said, "You know their family situation. They had nine daughters in order to have a son. Their parents didn't give them formal names; they just called them by their birth order."
This time, Fu Qin fell silent. "...Then the ID card can't also be called Si Ni, can it?"
Zhang Ran chuckled: "They don't even have names, how could they possibly have ID cards? They're all unregistered children born in violation of the one-child policy."
Fu Qin: "...Then how can I go out to work? Even getting into a factory requires an ID card."
“You can work on construction sites or as a temporary worker washing dishes in hole-in-the-wall restaurants. You generally don’t need an ID card.” Zhang Ran knew that she had never worked in society before, so she patiently explained, “Unregistered workers earn much less than regular workers. They do the hardest and most tiring jobs but get the least pay.”
Zhang Ran's words made Fu Qin feel extremely sad, and she even felt like crying.
Zhang Ran glanced at her, said nothing more, and walked to the open space to begin practicing martial arts.
Fu Qin suppressed her emotions and washed up.
Xinghua was the first to arrive at school with her schoolbag on her back. She put down her schoolbag and ran behind Zhang Ran to practice martial arts together.
When Fu Qin needed to light the fire and cook, he ran over to help.
Starting a fire with firewood doesn't require constant watching, so Fu Qin urged her to learn martial arts.
After breakfast, Xinghua cleared away the dishes.
Fu Qin was organizing the books and materials she needed for class when she suddenly noticed someone struggling to walk into the school gate with a cane. She immediately went over to help her carry the things. "Teacher Jiang, are you here to teach today?"
Teacher Jiang smiled at her. "The principal came to my house, and I thought my leg injury was mostly healed, and I could walk with crutches, so I came." Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at Zhang Ran and saw her sweeping up the trash in the open space. She called out to her, "Teacher Zhang, I'm here to teach today. Thank you for covering my classes these past few days."
Zhang Ran glanced at him indifferently and gave a faint "hmm".
Teacher Jiang said nothing in response to Zhang Ran's coldness and walked towards the fourth-grade classroom with her cane.
Fu Qin personally escorted him to his fourth-grade classroom, put down his things, and was about to leave when she was suddenly called back, "Teacher Fu."
Fu Qin looked at him with a puzzled expression.
Teacher Jiang lowered her voice: "I already know about Teacher Zhang's matter."
Fu Qin frowned, wondering which gossipy person had spread the rumor.
"I know you like Teacher Zhang." Teacher Jiang sighed deeply, "But now he's with Sini, so don't be too sad."
Huh? ? ? Fu Qin realized he had misunderstood, and mentally organized her thoughts on how to explain.
