Chapter 66: New School

Start from the beginning
                                    

While playing under the tree with the puppies, Cen Huai'an, seeing the sprouted jujube tree, couldn't help but think: It would be great if it could bear a lot of jujubes; they could eat them for a long, long time.

"Yes," Cen Zhengnian's tone had no hesitation. "In the past, your cousin used to come and harvest the jujubes from the tree. This year, you can join me and your cousin in harvesting the jujubes."

Cen Huai'an, picturing the scene, suddenly felt a sense of anticipation. "Dad, when will the jujube tree bear fruit?"

Cen Zhengnian, patiently washing the dishes, answered him, "Around May, the jujube tree will blossom. After the flowers fall and the fruit sets, you can start eating some green jujubes by mid-July. By the time of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the jujubes will be fully ripe."

Cen Huai'an calculated the time in his mind. With this calculation, it would still be several months before he could enjoy the jujubes.

Huangzi and Heizi tugged at his pants, wanting to go out and play. As it was getting a bit dark, Chu Xia didn't allow them to go outside after dark. So, Cen Huai'an took the two dogs to play in the yard.

Originally a small ball meant for people to play with, Cen Huai'an threw it out, and Huangzi and Heizi immediately jumped up to catch it. They would then run back, holding the ball in their mouths, eagerly waiting for Cen Huai'an to throw it again.

Throwing it to one dog and then to the other, Cen Huai'an had a great time playing with both puppies.

After finishing up in the kitchen, Cen Zhengnian came out and, seeing the scene outside, couldn't help but smile.

He stood at the doorway of the east wing for a moment, then walked to the bathroom entrance and informed Chu Xia before heading to the small convenience store in the alley.

At this time, having a personal telephone was expensive, with a monthly fee that most ordinary families couldn't afford.

To make it more convenient for the residents, the telecommunications bureau installed public telephones in small shops or cooperatives in the alleys, charging a fee every five minutes, providing an affordable option for everyone in the community.

Cen Zhengnian called Jiang Zhida from the small convenience store.

When he returned home, Chu Xia had already come out of the bathroom. Cen Zhengnian smiled at her and said, "Tomorrow, Dazi will take you to the entrance exam at the experimental primary school."

"Resolved? So quickly?"

Cen Zhengnian explained, "It's not a big deal. Originally, the age requirement for starting school at seven wasn't strictly enforced by most primary schools. As long as the registration fee was paid during enrollment, anyone could attend. However, since An'an is transferring, the director of the experimental primary school has some stricter requirements."

Cen Huai'an's household registration is linked to Cen Zhengnian's. When Cen Zhengnian was transferred to the capital, the household registration was also moved, and Cen Huai'an's registration is not an issue. Moreover, since Cen Huai'an is already six years old, he's not too young to start school.

So, all that was needed was to enroll An'an as a transfer student in the primary school, and Dazi, with the help of a friend, quickly arranged it. However, after resolving the matter, Dazi still informed Grandpa Jiang about it.

Upon hearing Dazi's account, Cen Zhengnian felt a subtle sense of disappointment. This should have been something he took care of.

He sincerely thanked Dazi and informed Chu Xia that it was Dazi who helped.
