Chapter 59: Isn’t this a coincidence?
Shen Meng handed the child over to Shen Shoutian and went to the office herself to pay the tuition and collect the new books. The process went smoothly; she simply gave her name and the teacher took care of everything else. She experienced the convenience of pulling strings through connections.
Lu Mingyang had never been to school before. He usually earned work points in the fields with his younger siblings, mostly interacting with Daqing and Erqing. Now seeing so many children, he felt incessantly uneasy and didn’t know how to interact with other kids. He stood at the door with a stern expression.

"Ah, Mingyang, come here, you and Ming Liang and Ming Fang have all been registered. Here are your textbooks, from now on you’ll be first-grade students. Ming Fang, mom wants to say a few words to you. If someone bullies you at school, find your brothers. Don’t keep quiet.
