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.
When Shen Meng arrived, she saw her eldest son standing obediently at the entrance of the classroom, while her second son was already chatting with several little girls, looking quite playful.
"Mom!" Lu Mingfang hurriedly greeted Shen Meng as she came out of the office.
