章 46: Chapter 46: More information about school
When everyone is still sleeping, she proceed with cutting the wood, the work that has the least noise but after 30 minutes has passed, she need to start assembling, so she also doesn't have a choice. Anyway, it was time to wake up for afternoon nap too, it's 3 pm already.
Bai Yi Yang start assembling the room door, her method was the same with the West house door, making a base, then attached the geometric shape on it.
She use wood glue to attach them, but also use screws. Later she can just fill the hole with wood fille, anyway, she is using small screws so it wasn't that obvious. It is already pretty but it will be prettier when they are finished.
One door down, four to go.
"Do you mind if I see you make them?" Second Li ask. Unexpectedly, he came to her workshop to see her work.
"I don't mind. Uncle Li, you take a stool to sit." Bai Yi Yang said. At the corridor, there are wooden stool arranged neatly, Second Li took one and start watching attentively at Bai Yi Yang.
"Yatou, you are only using hand hand saw to cut all these precisely?" Second Li ask.
"Yes, I have a few different kind here." Bai Yi Yang point at her hand saw on the side. Second Li nod and saw that it is really that case, they are also a bit blunt by now.
"I will help you sharpen them." Second uncle Li said took the sharpening tools. Bai Yi Yang was feeling thankful, her hand saw is actually getting blunt, she already changed onto the third one.
"Thanks Uncle Li.." Bai Yi Yang said.
"Small matters.." Second Li answer.
Bai Yi Yang then proceed with assembling the door. In no time, she finished the second one. Second Li offer to put it outside with the rest. Bai Yi Yang didn't reject too.
This time around, Second Li see the process from the start, from making the base of the door to assembling the geometric pattern. Her measuring tool and pencil didn't stop moving, making marks and lines, then cutting, screwing. Second Li almost applaud on the spot, this is a professional work that he is seeing. As a result by the time Bai Yi Yang finished the third door at a bit passed 5 pm, Uncle Li also only finished sharpening the hand saws, he was too distracted to focus solely on his job.
"Yatou, I really don't know what to say now. Your carpentry skill is as good as those masters in town. It doesn't look like someone with your age can do, how is this considered beginner ah." Second Li laugh as he helped carry the third door out.
"What are you two talking about? I am about to go down the mountain to see the flood progress, the rain slow down a bit." Grandpa Bo came to the workshop.
"Then I would also like to see..I never seen flood before.." Bai Yi Yang said. She is indeed a bit curious, what does they mean with the water rising high ah, how much has the water risen that the villagers have to move away?
"Alright." Grandpa Bo immediately agree. Bai Yi Yang and Second Li went to wear raincoat, but it was seen by the children playing in the living room. They were curious too, especially the Bai siblings.
Grandpa Bo doesn't see anything wrong with bringing the children along, as long as they did go into the water, there is no harm. So they all end up going, only Li Su Ning didn't go because she need to take care of the small Xiao Nian.
"Eldest yatou, do you need us to cook anything in advance?" Grandma Bo ask.
"Grandma, just cook the rice for now" Bai Yi Yang ask as she helped her younger siblings putting on raincoat.
"Alright. Do you need anything else? I will go pick it from the farm." Grandma Bo said.
"Then just cut some tomatoes, and shredded potatoes. The rest, I will do it." Bai Yi Yang said.
Grandma Bo nodded.
All the children and the two grown men head down the mountain. Bai Yi Fang and Bai Yi Mo goes hand in hand. They wanted to run but the road is slippery, they can only walk carefully. Bai Yi Chen actually offered to lift Bai Yi Fang but the girl doesn't want too, she want to walk on her own.
"I was worried that the road become damaged because of the rain, it's good that there are small drain made on the side of the road." Bai Yi Yang chat with the rest while she look around.
"Yes, the mountain road may not be covered in asphalt but it was strategically made from the beginning. The road is a bit long but it's not steep, it's easier for any car to come. There are also a lot of rocks, so it is not affected by rain." Uncle Li explained. Bai Yi Yang nod in understanding, so it's like that.
After 15 minutes walk, Grandpa Bo stopped them when they saw the flood water at the foot of the mountain. Bai Yi Yang was amazed, the water has really rise, it has covered all the village road.
"See, that's the mark we put this morning, the water has rise a bit again." Grandpa Bo point.
"It is indeed.." Second Li agree. Second Li make a phone call on the spot, he seems to be calling Head Village Li.
Bai Yi Yang and the other watch the flood water from 10 meters away, she doesn't want any of the children become mischievous and fall into the water. After staying for a while, they all went up the mountain again. The children is already uncontrollable at this point, Bai Yi Yang let them play with the puddles, even Bai Yi Ling will sometimes purposely step on the puddles. There is no problem, just bath them hot water bah.
And as if the people at home can read her mind, they already prepared hot water in advance, Bai Yi Ling help bath the 3 children first, then she took a bath. After that, Bo Yuan took bath last out of the children.
Bai Yi Yang was still okay, she make sure to bundle up before going out so she is not wet and dirty like the children. Bai Yi Yang went to the kitchen and cook two dish, stir fry tomato and egg, then stir fry shredded potatoes with big green pepper and carrot.
[2 point earned. Total points: 137 points]
Since it was still early, Bai Yi Yang took a shower first.
Grandma Bo is cooking dry mushrooms soup with bok choy, Bai Yi Yang let her add what she thinks suitable. There are no meat in their house now, so having more vegetables dish is good too. Eating mushrooms soup in rainy day is the best.
When Bai Yi Yang come out of her bedroom after drying her hair a bit, everyone is already busy preparing for dinner in the living room, so she also head to the kitchen to eat. Their dinner passed peacefully like usual.
After dinner is cleaning up time, it has become Bai Yi Chen and Li Su Nong task. Bai Yi Yang stayed at the kitchen with them and they talked about school, it was actually mainly Li Su Nong who talked a lot about school. He is saying something about his classmates, he is in the third class of Grade 11, so he has seen quite a few troublemakers. Class 4 is even worse, there are more troublemakers, that's what he said.
"Yi Yang, you need to remember not to pass through the back of science lab, there are people who act like thugs always hanging around there. They like teasing girls, and also bullying weak looking student." Li Su Nong said.
"Are there many students who like causing trouble like that?" Bai Yi Yang ask.
"Many. A few groups. In your grade there is this one group, then in my grade there are also one group. Grade 12 is also the same. Basically, they have their own groups, when they are together they act like thugs, so brave, the one from Grade 12 even dare to confront the teacher directly." Li Su Nong said.
"They don't care about rules. But they usually fights amongst themselves, they won't disturb students who has nothing to do with them. But it's best to avoid them, sometimes when they are bored, they also pick on random people. Yang Yang, you remember this." Bai Yi Chen said.
"En, I won't passed by there. Anyway, they won't be able to bully me." Bai Yi Yang smile. She doesn't know any martial arts, but she knows that one random slap from her can cause a lot of pain. She is not afraid of little bullies. Should she upgrade her martial arts skill, that will be so cool, Bai Yi Yang grinned secretly.
"You are right, with Yi Chen there, they won't dare. You can look for me too, I can bring my friends to look out for you." Li Su Nong said proudly. Last night, he was still acting shy but now he feels that he is already close with the Bai siblings.
"Alright.." Bai Yi Yang nod.
'Host ah, with your strength, don't you think that you will scare this pure teenager?' The system ask.
'I will not fight in school, what are you talking about?' Bai Yi Yang feels like she is being accused of being a thug by the system.
'From what I see, if you really are in that situation, you will hit those punks until purple and blue.' The system add. Bai Yi yang cannot refute that, she really hates bullies, what more those who hit people without .
Their conversation goes from school thugs, to school couples, to top students, to teachers, to school scandals.
Normal high school surely sounds interesting. Bai Yi Yang only have been to elite high school who only 1% of children in in the country goes to. They will not tolerate thugs, as long as you have disciplinary issue or dropped in grade, then you will be expelled. No matter how rich you are, if you doesn't meet the criteria, then you wouldn't be accepted. She have to say, in terms of abilities, the school is really not biased towards the people with money. But that means that they are also different than other schools, they solely focus on academic, that type of school, there are no such thing as arts or physical education, the students only need to study and pass with high grades. The National Exams is nothing but a formality that they need to take, the school is focused on Science, they have their own set of exams that is recognise in all countries in the world. It was really a prestigious high schools.
But in her current school, the students doesn't only study, they can do sports as a part of physical education, they also have extracurricular activities that require all students to be involve in clubs. There is also comprehensive practical activities such as research oriented learning activity, community service and social practice. Their school basically teach students to become human being, unlike her high school before who taught students just to take in data like a computer, she quite like this school now.
As for the extracurricular activities, students are compulsory to attend clubs meeting every Wednesday, each student basically need to choose three clubs, one from each category of academic club, sports club, and music/arts club. Then each week will be different clubs meetings.
Bai Yi Yang doesn't really understand the education system she is in because she never really have holidays before. After asking ambiguous questions here and there, she found out that they are in the so called Winter vacation or Chinese New Year vacation, the Spring/second semester will start in mid February until July where they will have their midterm in May and final exam in July. Since this city is located at a tropical and warm area, even though it was called winter or spring, they are only doing standardised education system, this place is sunny all year long.
She also heard this from Xiao Ling, during the Chinese New year day for this year, her illness was at the worse, so they didn't even celebrate it. The siblings is really too pitiful right? Even the most basic New Year, they can't celebrate it. Anyway, she will compensate it for them next year.
With all these stories about school, Bai Yi yang becomes a bit excited and looking forward to see her school. The three people return to the Main house after chatting for a while in the kitchen.
The adults sat around and talk while the young people study. Actually only those who already goes to school went to study, whereas Bai Yi Yang sent the two small one into the bedroom to watch cartoons, she doesn't want them to influence Li Su Nuo who is being taught by Li Su Ning now. These Li siblings actually brought their school bags with them last night, no wonder they have a lot of luggage. If it were Bai Yi Yang, she will just leave it at home.
Bai Yi Ling study on her own without anyone teaching her, so does Bo Yuan who quietly read his books. Li Su Nong is also doing his homework, he skips a lot of questions and also sighs a lot.
Bai Yi Yang actually knows all the answers but she didn't want to show off too much, it's not good. She will just let him be, if he ask then she will help, if not let him be.
