Students of this era generally start school at a later age, and with retakes and repetition of study years, high school students tend to look older.
In the evening, Ni Yang went back and told Zhao Yu about school.
Zhao Yu had never been to school before and was very curious about it, "Great, great, I want to go to school!"
Ni Yang nodded, "Then I'll take you to enroll at school tomorrow."
Zhao Yu raised her right hand, "Mom, I want to go to the same school as Goudan!"
Ni Yang said, "Goudan is only in junior high this year; you're going to high school."
Zhao Yu continued, "I heard from Goudan that their school has a high school too! Anyway, I just want to go to the same school as Goudan!"
Originally, Ni Yang thought about sending Zhao Yu to the city's Third Middle School that she had attended before.
Because she was a bit more familiar with the teachers and the Principal there.
Now, she had to give up that idea; she must respect her child's wishes.
