Chapter 124 Going to school (2)

The hour hand pointed to 7 o'clock and the minute hand pointed to 45. Lin Zisu took out a homemade handkerchief and wiped her mouth. She looked at her watch and said, "There are still 5 minutes left. It's almost 7:50. Have you finished eating?"

The people sitting around heard the time she said and ate faster. The reason why everyone didn't finish their breakfast in 30 or 40 minutes was mainly because they spent some time in the queue.

Lin Youcai glanced at the electronic bracelet, then looked at everyone else. Everyone was wiping their mouths after eating, except for Zhang, the second daughter-in-law of the Shen family, and Lin Hongmei, who watched the children finish their breakfast reluctantly and lined up to follow the teacher back to the classroom.

Every time there are classes of children under the age of 6, on the first day of class, the teachers bring them to the cafeteria for breakfast. They don't have to pay for this meal, it is counted on the government bill, but children over the age of 6 have to pay for it themselves.

After breakfast, everyone rushed to the classroom in a hurry. As expected, a large number of people who attended the class on the first day went to the wrong classroom, which caused a lot of jokes.

The teacher seemed to be used to it. After counting the number of students, it was almost 8:30 before the class finally started. There were stacks of notebooks and cloth bags on the podium.

Sun Xiaojuan opened the notebook and said, "Books and stationery are being distributed. When a name is read, come up and claim it. Lin Youcai."

Lin Youcai sat in the back, quickly stood up from his chair and walked towards the podium. Sun Xiaojuan glanced at him and handed him a cloth bag, a book bound with fine linen paper, and a soft paper book with Chinese language one written on the outside.

Lin Youcai touched the cloth bag and felt the texture of a hard pen inside, then he took the thing and returned to his seat.

Sun Xiaojuan: "Lin Zisu."

Lin Zisu sat in the front row and only took two steps to reach the podium.

Sun Xiaojuan looked at her, and it was indeed her, not only could she read, but she also knew the time. Sun Xiaojuan didn't say anything or ask, and handed the thing to Lin Zisu, who took it and returned to her seat.

After more than ten minutes, everyone received their books and stationery. Old Lady Wang, Old Lady Ye, Old Man Lin, and Old Man Shen all had complicated expressions on their faces. It was the first time they were called by their full names by a yellow-haired girl who was almost the same age as their granddaughter.

No one thought they could study for free, and no one thought the teacher was so young.

Lin Zisu opened the cloth bag. Inside were two pencils and a knife. The pencils were a bit thick, but where was the eraser? Wasn't it needed?

Sun Xiaojuan didn't waste any words and went straight to the point: "The school's rules are that classes start at 8 a.m., so everyone should be in the classroom before 8 a.m. to prepare for class, and it's best to be in the classroom before 7:50 a.m. You can't be late for class or leave early. You will be fined for being late or leaving early.

The class time every day is from 8 am to 10 pm, Chinese class from 10 am to 12 am, and math class from am to pm. In the afternoon, you can do whatever you want, go back home to rest, or go out to work.

There is no need to explain the calendar, everyone knows the date of the month, what I want to talk about is the day of the week in Japan. The day of the week does not conflict with the calendar. "

Sun Xiaojuan took a piece of chalk and wrote on the blackboard, Monday to Sunday, "A week has 7 days, and it is a cycle of 7 days, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. The last day is not called the seventh day of the week, but Sunday or Sunday. For example, today is Wednesday, March 3, so tomorrow is Thursday, and the day after tomorrow is Friday, and so on, until Sunday. After Sunday, the next day is Monday again, and it repeats like this for 17 days. The day of the week does not conflict with the day of the month. The calendar is the calendar, and the week is a cycle of 7 days. No matter what day of the month it is, it is counted separately."

Sun Xiaojuan: "Why do I tell you that there are 7 days in a week? Because in China, people go to work and school not only by the date of the month, but also by the day of the week.

In Japan, Monday to Friday is the time for work and school, and Saturday and Sunday are the time for rest. There are five days of work and school in a week, and two days of rest.

If you go to the government for business, you have to go on Monday to Friday. There are people on duty on Saturdays and Sundays, but they only deal with urgent matters. The exception is the hospital, which takes turns to rest.

Today is your first day of school, Wednesday, March 3th. Tomorrow is Thursday, and the day after tomorrow is Friday. You will have three days of classes until Saturday and Sunday. You don't have to go to class on Saturday and Sunday, you are off.

During the holidays, everyone should practice what they have learned in class at home and strive to graduate from the beginner class as soon as possible. We have beginner, intermediate and advanced classes. In Japan, everyone must at least graduate from the beginner class. The different levels of graduation directly affect your wages when you go out to work.

Graduates of the intermediate class can go to a technical school and learn skills for free. It is easier to find a job after graduating from a technical school and the salary is very high.

Graduates of the advanced class can take the civil service exam and work in the government."

Everyone was confused at first, but they all became excited after hearing the latter part. Become an official? After studying for three classes, you can take the examination for a government post and become an official?

Sun Xiaojuan took a sip of water and continued, "The school has exams at the end of every month. The kindergarten class will take exams, and the elementary, intermediate, and advanced classes will also take exams. In the monthly exam, those who are in the top 50% will get 30 yuan, which means that the top half of the people can get money. The top 100 will get 40 yuan, the top 50 will get 50 yuan, the top 10 will get 70 yuan, the third place will get 80 yuan, the second place will get 90 yuan, and the first place will get 100 yuan."

Old Man Lin's eyes widened. Not only was the education free, but if you did well in the exams you could get money! This was something he had never heard of or seen before!

Then what does it mean that he pooled the efforts of his entire family and saved money for more than ten years to support a scholar?

Old Man Shen and Old Man Lin looked at each other and saw surprise and shock in each other's eyes.

Sun Xiaojuan: "The full score of the test paper is 80 points. If you get points or more, you will pass and graduate. After graduating from the elementary class, you will go to the intermediate class. After graduating from the intermediate class, you can go to a technical school or continue to study in the advanced class! Okay, that's all. If you have any questions, ask them after class. Let's open the book and start learning from the pinyin letters..."

Lin Zisu's family of four sat and listened obediently. On the surface, they were thinking about what to eat for lunch. For modern people, the first-grade content is too complicated. Unless they have never been to school, there should not be many people who do not study in the nine-year compulsory education system.

After the Chinese class, we took a 20-minute break to go to the bathroom, and then the math class continued as the bell rang. The math class was also taught by a young girl, who brought a huge wooden clock with an hour hand, minute hand, and second hand. It was very realistic. The numbers and three needles were dyed in different colors, and the scales were also dyed in different colors to facilitate teaching.

The first thing we taught was Arabic numerals, which the teacher called simple numerals. She wrote the Chinese characters from one to ten, the traditional characters from one to ten, zero is 0, and 1 to 10 on the blackboard, and taught everyone how to recognize and use them. We started with the simplest addition and subtraction, and then taught how to read time on a clock, and the difference between the 24-hour system and the 12-hour system.

As the bell rang for the end of get out of class, everyone handed in their Chinese 1 and Math 1 textbooks and went back with their notebooks and stationery bags.

Everyone walked out of the classroom and went out of the school in an orderly manner.

Lin Zisu heard the uncle next to her say, "This country is really amazing. Instead of arranging jobs for the refugees from outside, they arrange for them to go to school for free. They are also required to take a shower every day and be clean every day."
