Zhen Yu silently thought "Add to memory," and the 11 ability points transformed into memory points, bringing her memory to 74.

For physics, chemistry, and math! Starting tomorrow, I need to start adding to logic...

With this thought in mind, Zhen Yu drifted into sleep.

-

A few days before school started, Mrs. Zhen, taking Zhen Yu’s advice, negotiated a commission-based payment with Li Li, an employee of Shoe City, and signed a written employment contract.

This practice was unique in their small town at this time.

But Li Li was happy to sign, as unlike others who received fixed salaries, she could earn more based on her hard work, something she had never dared to imagine before.

Then, assured, Mrs. Zhen made a spare set of keys for Shoe City for her, so she could go late and leave early after her children went to school, and come home for lunch.

The breakfast on the first day of school was made by Mrs. Zhen; after eating, the three of them locked the door, and the siblings, with their backpacks on, walked toward Siying School, while Mrs. Zhen went in the opposite direction.

Because Shoe City was also located near the town center by the train station.

-

Crossing a big pit, passing the only gateless courtyard wall of the Four Merchants Store, a row of neatly arranged Dayang trees came into view.

Sticking close to the school’s courtyard wall until the first tree, there was a gap about as wide as a double door between the tree and the school wall; passing through it, the school gate was on the right.

The direction from which the Zhen siblings came was the side of the school; there was a row of Dayang trees on each side of the school’s main gate, with a straight road in front leading to the distance.

Entering the school gate, a hint of nostalgia flashed in Zhen Yu’s eyes; this place was often present in her childhood dreams from her previous life.

Inside the school gate was also a straight road, with a brick house on the left, which was the water room.

On the right were two long rows of brick houses; those close to the school gate were elementary classrooms, and further ahead were the junior high classrooms.

The school gate faced north, and the classroom doors opened to the south. The siblings walked forward, passing around the Fangshan head from the second row of brick houses, and arrived at the ----- playground.

Not far in front of the junior high classrooms was a small concrete platform with an iron flagpole erected, the very place for raising the national flag.

The area around the concrete platform was open, near the southwestern corner of the school compound wall, with a row of red-brick buildings marked with two big black characters ------ Female/Male

Those were semi-open-air toilets.

There were also a row of buildings in the southeast corner ----- student dormitories, where Zhen Yu had lived in her past life.

At this moment, many students had already arrived on the playground, but Zhen Yu didn’t recognize anyone, so she just stood next to her brother.

-

Until the school broadcast started.

"Dear students, a new semester has started again! Welcome back to school! Everyone please line up in order quickly, we will hold the flag-raising ceremony in ten minutes."

As the broadcast sounded, some teachers and school leaders filed out from the teachers’ office building.

It was a small two-story building set parallel to the row of junior high classrooms on the left side of the road, right next to the school’s east mountain wall.

Zhen Yan called out to his sister, "Hurry back to your class! I need to line up for my class too!"

Zhen Yu didn’t move, looking at her brother’s retreating figure a bit dumbfoundedly, her class? How was she supposed to know which was hers...

The crowd in front slowly started to form lines like fish in the sea, Zhen Yu could only make out that the shorter ones on the east were elementary students, and the taller ones on the west were junior high students.

She subconsciously searched for familiar faces until someone patted her shoulder.

"What are you spacing out for? Aren’t you going to line up?"

It was Han Jiayang.

Han Mingyue stood behind him, her smile serene.

Zhen Yu nodded expressionlessly at him and turned to Han Jiayang, saying, "Lead the way!"

"..." Han Jiayang huffed, "What, you’re marching into the village like an enemy?"

"Hurry up," Zhen Yu urged softly.

Han Jiayang took a few steps ahead and squeezed into the crowd, "Here it is!"

Zhen Yu followed him and stopped in front of this group of people.

-

As soon as she had settled, the girl in front turned around to talk to her, "Hey~ Zhen Yu! You’ve gotten noticeably fairer over the summer!"

Zhen Yu glanced at her skin, which could rival Song Xiaobao’s, and lightly uttered, "Hmm."

"I heard they will divide the classes right after the flag-raising! Our junior high has only two classes per grade, I wonder how they’ll divide us?"

Zhen Yu couldn’t remember that girl’s name and wasn’t too keen to talk, simply replying, "Wait for the announcement."

But Han Jiayang started chatting with her, "Who cares how they divide us~ At worst, they’ll just throw all the poor students into one class!"

The girl retorted sarcastically, "Of course you’re not worried! No matter which class you’re in, you’ll still be at the bottom! Those of us who are neither top nor bottom have to worry!"

"..." Zhen Yu silently agreed, Han Jiayang, this poor student, also needed rescuing~~ With Han Mingyue excelling in studies, why didn’t she take care of him?

Han Jiayang didn’t mind being labeled a poor student, boasting cheekily, "Worrying is useless! Wherever you’re assigned, can you not go?"

The girl thought about it and didn’t say anything more, turning her head back around.

Soon, Fu Yu also arrived, standing directly next to Han Jiayang, ignoring Zhen Yu.

He was still mad at her for not lending him the summer homework.

Zhen Yu ignored him too, not indulging the child’s tantrum!

-

After the flag-raising, the students of each grade were mostly led away by their homeroom teachers, leaving only two small groups on the playground, each on one side.

One group was the newly enrolled first-year elementary students, and the other group was juniors like Zhen Yu.

The first order of business was indeed class division, Zhen Yu, the dark-skinned girl, and Fu Yu were assigned to one class, while Han Jiayang was in the other.

This was the same as Zhen Yu’s previous life, and she was quite calm about it.

The homeroom teacher of class one was named Teacher Cao, a very short middle-aged man.

In Zhen Yu’s memory, Teacher Cao was a decisive and stubborn person, who taught mathematics very well.

Zhen Yu’s junior high grades were quite good, often joining the class toppers for his extra sessions - practice worksheets.

His favorite activity was handing out tests, from pop quizzes to major exams.

Every three days a small test, every five days a major one, making the students of class one complain endlessly.

In her previous life, he had the final say in the class, the entire Junior High School First Class was his dictatorship.

Now, all the students of class one were gathered in front of a classroom door by him, Zhen Yu looked at the thin papers in his hand and couldn’t help but smile knowingly.
