Returning to the small mountain village of '86, intelligence updated daily.

Chapter 122 School, Memories

After washing up, Zhou Rui looked at the three people sitting and waiting for him.

This is so embarrassing!

A sense of apology flashed through Zhou Rui's mind, but he quickly realized why this apology sounded so familiar.

Fortunately, his parents didn't say anything to him. After calming himself down, he set off with the three of them.

Besides the four of them, their younger cousins ​​followed behind.

However, neither Zhou Guo'er nor Zhou Xing were very interested, especially Zhou Xing.

Going to school means leaving home for a short period of time, and both of them are dependent on their families, which is why they did this.

To Zhou Rui's surprise, in the past, either his parents would take him to register, or Yang Laidi would join them.

Zhou Shijie rarely goes there.

It wasn't that he didn't care about his children before, but rather that he felt there would be no point in him going.

Zhou Shijie has changed a lot and has become a little more responsible.

The group went by tricycle. Zhou Rui rode it, his younger siblings sat in the back, and the other adults walked on the road.

When we arrived at the school, it was a village primary school. I don't know if it was because it was so early in the morning, but there were very few people there.

Most of the children cried and whined; they didn't want to go to school and found it too boring.

Only the two children from the Zhou family didn't cry or make a fuss; they were just a little down.

Registration, in this context, means paying fees, including tuition and other miscellaneous fees.

In the past, every time he signed up, he either used the money he had saved up or received financial assistance from Zhou Shiping. However, this time, Zhou Shiwei brought his own money.

Instead of paying it himself, he gave the money to his second younger brother, Zhou Shijie.

"Shijie, you go and pay it this time."

Zhou Shijie never had much money, and this was his own suggestion that we not share any money with him first.

It used to mean he hardly did any work, but now it means something else entirely.

Over the years, he's been eating and drinking for free, and he even has his own children to support. His elder brother's family has done more than enough for him, so he has no face to ask for a share of the money.

Zhou Shijie did not refuse, took the money from his elder brother, and then took his two children to register.

Zhou Shiwei gave Zhou Rui a few instructions and then went off to a place to start working as a helper at the school.

Although they were called helpers, they were actually just doing odd jobs and all sorts of tasks.

In addition, he is literate and occasionally works as a substitute teacher, so even among school helpers, his salary is among the highest.

After his father left, Zhou Rui was left all alone, because Zeng Jiamei went with him to pay the fees, as she was worried that Zhou Shijie might not understand the process since it was his first time.

Zhou Rui wandered around the school aimlessly. Schools these days weren't as good as they were in later generations, let alone in the impoverished mountainous southwest.

Inside the classroom, the desks and chairs were dilapidated, and rats occasionally appeared. Looking at the moss on the roof, there was also a faint smell of mildew.

The old-fashioned blackboard was also pitted and uneven.

The table and chairs were both made of wood, and the chairs were long benches, equally pitted and mottled.

There aren't actually that many classes in the school, and there are even classes that integrate students from different backgrounds.

A so-called integrated class is a teaching model where multiple grades are taught together.

Teachers usually have to prepare multiple teaching materials, and after finishing the first-grade curriculum, they go on to teach several other classes to older students.

Zhou Rui knew that Zhou Xing was in a class that was trying to integrate students.

Zhou Rui wanted to come along for a simple reason: he knew the importance of education. In his previous life, it was because he was mischievous, but more so because his family was already struggling financially.

But he doesn't blame anyone; no one can really explain these things.

There were only a few classrooms, and Zhou Rui passed by each one. The doors were locked because the students could go home after registering today, and classes would start tomorrow.

Zhou Rui lingered at the door of a classroom, peering through the window. This was the classroom where he used to have classes.

He stood at the door, hesitant, walking over and back again. He really wanted to go in again, to attend another class, even if it was just to sit for a while.

However, the classroom door was already locked.

Zhou Rui left the classroom door and never came back.

Back at the registration location, Zhou Rui saw from afar that everyone except his father was waiting for him.

"Big brother, let's go home~"

Zhou Guo'er said sweetly.

Zhou Shijie didn't understand why Zhou Rui went to visit the school, but he didn't say anything.

Walking down the street, Zhou Rui couldn't help but say to Zhou Xing and Zhou Guo'er, "Going to school is so great!"

Hearing her older brother say this, Zhou Guo'er felt a little sad for some reason, but she didn't show it.

"Big brother, it's okay~"

Zhou Guo'er didn't know how to comfort her older brother, so she just forced a smile and said it was okay.

Zeng Jiamei's eyes were full of heartache, and she silently patted Zhou Rui's head.

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting tense, Zhou Rui laughed.

"What are you all doing? It's nothing~ Our family is doing great now, let's not talk about this anymore, come on, I'll take you to the supply and marketing cooperative, let's buy some snacks before class~"

Due to his emotional state, Zhou Rui hadn't checked the intelligence system's updates even though it was almost 10 o'clock.

However, after that burst of laughter, his mind gradually cleared up.

With his eyes slightly closed, another intelligence message appeared "before" Zhou Rui's eyes.

In just two seconds, Zhou Rui opened his eyes, his face expressionless.

The reason is simple: it's yet another piece of white intelligence.

[Intelligence 1: Wang Er went to file for divorce today, and the staff eventually supported him. He then went to find Chen Li, and after much entanglement, Chen Li finally gave in to Wang Er's persistent pleading, and thus Chen Li and Wang Er divorced.]

[Intelligence 1 Quality: White]

No, how can a probability of 60% be so high!

Thankfully, a green safety net was released these past few days, otherwise I would have wondered if I had stepped in dog poop.

Zhou Rui muttered a few complaints to himself.

However, the more this was the case, the stronger Zhou Rui's expectations became. He had seen green intelligence before, and based on past experience, green intelligence was not just simple information.

It will definitely bring benefits or gains.

If green is so useful, what will purple be like?

Zhou Rui suspected that the intelligence report about rising tea and rapeseed prices was probably only at the purple intelligence level, or perhaps a little weaker.

Zhou Rui had no other comparisons, so he didn't know what the specific purple intelligence was like.

There's also information about the water deer. Zhou Rui suspects this is also a purple-level intelligence report, or at least somewhere between green and purple.

With this in mind, Zhou Rui's mood improved slightly.

My luck isn't that bad, is it? After all, in the nearly one month since I was reborn, I've already received two pieces of information that are practically purple-tier.

As Zhou Rui pondered this, his curiosity led him to think of the red quality and the golden legend!

If purple can make a fortune—what about red and gold?

Zhou Rui dared not think about it anymore; he was afraid that if he continued to think about it, he would become complacent.
