Chapter 404
Zhou Zehan couldn't understand.Zhou Zedong also regretted it; saying these things to his younger brother was simply a waste of breath.
His eyes were fixed on the globe, a glint of light flashing in his gaze.
"Xiao Jiu, can I have a look at this?"
Jiang Jiu generously handed it over. "Big Brother, do you like this? If you like it, I'll ask my dad to give you one too."
Jiang Wenqing, standing to the side: "..."
He only had this one. If it weren't for the fact that his son liked it so much, he would have never been willing to give it to him.
And now his son was just generously offering it to someone else.
What a great son he had.
However, thinking about how highly the team leader thought of Zhou Zedong earlier, his eyes flickered. Perhaps this was a good opportunity.
He said, "I'll go to the institute and ask. If there are any extras, I'll find one for you."
Jiang Jiu immediately said, "My dad also has a world map and a microscope. Little bugs can become super big!"
"Big Brother, if there's anything else you like, just tell me, and I'll have my dad give it to you."
Jiang Jiu used to not know exactly what his dad did and felt he had no charm at all.
When others were showing off what their dads did and how amazing they were, he would feel very envious.
But when the teacher asked him what his dad did for a living, he couldn't answer at all.
Now, seeing it with his own eyes, he finally realized that his dad was actually so charming and so amazing!
Zhou Zedong spun the globe, and upon hearing this, his expression shifted again.
Jiang Wenqing: "..."
The group talked and laughed as they went to the classroom to register.
Si Nian asked Jiang Wenqing about his situation, "Is it convenient for you to bring Xiao Jiu to the research institute? If it's too much trouble, he can come to my house. The kids can keep each other company."
Jiang Wenqing smiled embarrassedly. "How could I do that? I wasn't home before and neglected Xiao Jiu. Now that I have him by my side, I want to spend more time with him and make it up to him."
Si Nian thought about it and agreed. She had been quite worried at first, but seeing Jiang Jiu excitedly telling the two children about what he saw at the research institute, it seemed things weren't as bad as she had thought.
Today was September 1st, and there were a lot of people coming to register.
Zhou Yueshen took his eldest son to the fifth grade, and Si Nian took Zhou Zehan to the second grade.
Jiang Jiu was in the same class as him, and many parents were currently bringing their children to register.
When the homeroom teacher saw them arrive, she specially came over to greet them. "I just heard from the director that two new transfer students have arrived. It must be these two little friends, right?"
Si Nian nodded. "Hello, this is my son, Zhou Zehan. This is Jiang Jiu and his father."
The teacher smiled and nodded. "Hello, little friend Xiao Han, and little friend Xiao Jiu. I am your homeroom teacher, Wang Shuang. Please take care of me from now on."
"Hello, teacher!"
The two children immediately greeted her loudly.
"Then I'll take them inside to meet their classmates," Teacher Wang said with a smile.
Si Nian and Jiang Wenqing waited outside.
The second-grade children were not very old yet, sitting perfectly straight and proper.
There were two or three other children on the stage, who all looked like new transfer students as well.
Including Jiang Jiu and Zhou Zehan, there were five of them in total.
Teacher Wang clapped the blackboard and said, "Quiet down. Today we have a few new friends in our class. Let's introduce ourselves to each other and talk about our hobbies and dreams, okay?"
It was Jiang Wenqing's first time bringing his son to school for registration. Seeing his son standing on the stage preparing to introduce himself, a hint of nervousness flashed in his eyes.
Si Nian, on the other hand, felt a bit awkward, terrified that her second son's dream would be to become a pig slaughterer just like his father.
The three students who went in first took turns introducing themselves.
"My name is Hao Zhengyi, and I am eight years old this year. My hobby is playing catch the thief. When I grow up, I want to be a police officer and catch thieves for the common people."
"My name is Wang Liting, and I am eight years old. When I grow up, I want to be a doctor and treat the common people for free."
"My name is Liu Yonggui. When I grow up, I want to be a scientist and let the common people fly into the sky..."
When it was the second son's turn, he found himself at a loss for words. Were everyone's dreams this grand?
He thought hard, and suddenly his eyes lit up as he said loudly, "My name is Zhou Zehan. When I grow up, I want to be the common people, so they will all serve me."
The class immediately erupted into laughter.
Si Nian: "..."
The teacher was also amused and looked at Jiang Jiu. Jiang Jiu originally wanted to be a scientist, but his dream had been stolen. He was just wondering what to say when he heard his second brother say this, and he immediately chimed in, "I also want to be the common people and enjoy their services with my second brother."
Jiang Wenqing: "..."
The person who brought Xiao Bowen to register was a middle-aged woman. He hadn't expected to run into Zhou Zedong so soon.
His face was full of surprise.
The two of them were now transfer students in Class One of the fifth grade. Both children had been assigned to this class because of their excellent grades.
There was none of the lively atmosphere of the second grade; the scene was even a bit awkward.
The teacher asked the two of them to introduce themselves.
"My name is Xiao Bowen, and I'm eight years old."
"My name is Zhou Yuedong, and I'm eleven."
Everyone: "..."
Why the sudden awkward silence?
The teacher laughed awkwardly to smooth things over. "Where are you two students from? Do you have any hobbies, or what do you want to be when you grow up?"
Fang Bowen frowned and said, "My hobby is reading and doing homework."
Zhou Zedong: "My hobby is reading books and practicing calligraphy."
Everyone: "..."
Zhou Yueshen: "..."
Behind him, a woman stared blankly at Zhou Zedong's face.
Primary school covered a lot of subjects, and the knowledge varied in every city, but it wasn't too difficult. Zhou Zedong knew most of the material.
He really wanted to just skip straight to junior high.
Moreover, he had no interest in these things now; his mind was still on the globe Jiang Jiu had brought back earlier that day.
After returning home, he flipped through a book he now found dull and said to Si Nian, "Mom, can I go to the library to read?"
Si Nian knew he had lost interest in what he currently had, which was why he brought this up to her.
In any case, reading more books was always a good thing. She nodded and agreed, "Of course, but don't stay out too late. You can borrow the books you want from the library and read them at home; otherwise, Mom will worry about you being out alone."
Zhou Zedong nodded and agreed.
He planned to go to the library after class tomorrow.
There was a very large library right across from their school. He had seen Fang Bowen—oh, wait, Xiao Bowen—go there with a woman after class.
Actually, he had really wanted to go look too, but he was afraid his mom would worry, so he came home first.
"Bowen, do you know that boy?"
Xiao Guifang asked her grandson. Because her son was very busy with the start of the school term these past few days, she was asked to bring the child to school to register.
She hadn't expected to see a boy who looked so much like her eldest son.
Xiao Guifang had been completely stunned at the time.
Only now did she finally react.
Xiao Bowen nodded as he flipped through his book, "I know him, Grandma. He is Zhou Zedong. When Mom and I went to Yungui-Sichuan City, he lived right next door to me. Even though he always keeps a straight face, he is a very good person."
Xiao Guifang's eyes trembled.
