Spring River Chasing the Moon

On the first day of school at the government primary school, the whole Nan family got up early.

The most excited people were Zhu Yuying and Chen Lili.

Nan Qiuyue felt helpless as she watched her grandmother and mother running up and down the stairs.

She didn’t feel anything before when she was in kindergarten, but when she went to elementary school, Nan Qiuyue suddenly realized that she had to go through the long road of studying in her previous life again.

Thinking of this, Nan Qiuyue's interest in going to school plummeted. Year after year, when would it ever end?

The Nan family didn't know what Nan Qiuyue was thinking at this moment. They only knew that today was Nan Qiuyue's first day of school at elementary school, so they all prepared a small gift.

This can be considered a tradition of the Nan family. Every child’s important stage in life is worth celebrating and recording.

Even though receiving gifts seemed to have become the norm in the Nan family over the past six months, Nan Qiuyue was still shocked when she saw the gift Nan Youmin gave her today.

"This is the primary school that my uncle named after you. It's in the small town next to South City."

Nan Qiuyue was so surprised by this that she didn't know what to say.

"This is our company's annual charity project. This year, we just established a Hope Primary School, so we wanted to use Qiyue's name to record this special beginning for our family."

Seeing Chen Lili's incredible expression, Nan Youmin began to explain.

Chen Lili nodded as if she understood. Otherwise, this gift was really too expensive. Although her brother's company was getting better and better, she would feel bad if she asked them to accept this gift for nothing. She and Nan Youzhao had limited monthly salaries, and they didn't know what gift to give in return.

"Then we can't just accept this gift. You Zhao and I will buy some school supplies and other things the children over there need. It can be considered as doing something for charity within our ability."

"Thank you, uncle. Mom, please take my pocket money too. I want to buy some for other kids too."

Nan Qiuyue didn't have much money in her previous life. When she was studying, the school would arrange donations to help students in need. At that time, she could only donate one yuan and fifty cents. Now her family's life is much better. Since she has the opportunity to help others, she is willing to give out her own pocket money. Together with her New Year's money, it should be quite a lot.

"Our Qiyue is sensible."

Nanzhou Yue felt extremely proud when he heard Nan Qiuyue's words. His little granddaughter was helpful and loving at such a young age. She was worthy of being a member of their Nan family.

"Okay, time for school. Don't be late on your first day."

Zhu Yuying looked at the time and said.

"Then Qiuyue, say goodbye to your grandparents and uncle. Mom will take you to school first."

He said he was sending her to school, but in fact he was just sending her to the gate of the compound. Then she would cross the road to the Government Primary School. Nan Qiuyue put on her schoolbag, said goodbye to Chen Lili, and walked towards her classroom.

This is the first time that Nan Qiuyue has been here. I have to say that the greening of this primary school is quite good, and it is not at all like the feeling given by Nancheng.

Soon, Nan Qiuyue found her classroom. She walked in through the door and sat down in a seat in the back row.

If she could do it all over again, Nan Qiuyue would just want to spend her study life quietly, preferably in the last row, being invisible and not attracting too much attention.

"Hello, students. I am your homeroom teacher. You can just call me Teacher Wang. I am also your Chinese teacher."

"Hello, Teacher Wang."

"Then how about we all stand up and introduce ourselves one by one? That way we can get to know each other better."

As one by one stood up and introduced themselves, Nan Qiuyue was silently observing her classmates.

"Hey, my name is Tang Li, you can call me Li Zi, what's your name?"

The little girl sitting next to Nan Qiuyue looked at her secretly and asked Nan Qiuyue in a low voice.

"My name is Nan Qiuyue, you can just call me Qiuyue."

Seeing that she didn't know which "Qi" it was, Nan Qiuyue took out a pen and paper from her schoolbag and wrote the three words "Nan Qiuyue" on the paper.

"Qiyue... your name is so nice."

Tang Li looked at the name on the paper and muttered silently, "Qiyue, your handwriting has been practiced, it's much better than mine. My family hired a calligraphy teacher for me, and I've been learning for three months, but my handwriting is still a mess."

Tang Li seemed a little depressed when he talked about this.

"Just practice more. It took me a long time to achieve this effect."

Nan Qiuyue smiled and said.

Tang Li wanted to ask who Nan Qiuyue's calligraphy teacher was, and it was their turn to introduce themselves.

Tang Lixian, she stood up hurriedly.

"Hello, my name is Tang Li, Tang as in Tang Dynasty, Li as in coming."

This is the self-introduction that Tang Li has been using since she was a child. At the beginning, she didn't even know what "Tang Dynasty" and "Li Lin" meant.

Only then did Nan Qiuyue realize that it was the "Li" in "Li Lin". She had just thought it was the beautiful "Li".

After Tang Li finished the introduction, it was Nan Qiuyue's turn.

She stood up, looked at the concerned eyes around her, and introduced herself.

"Hello everyone, my name is Nan Qiyue. Nan means Nancheng, Qi means Huaiqi, and Yue means moon."

"Huaiqi?"

Teacher Wang looked at Nan Qiuyue's name on the list. She thought about it for a while but couldn't think of any special meaning for the word Huaiqi.

Unexpectedly, Teacher Wang would raise questions, so Nan Qiuyue had to explain, "Teacher, Huaiqi is my grandfather's name."

Teacher Wang finally understood and nodded, letting Nan Qiuyue sit down.

After all the students in the class finished their introductions, Teacher Wang distributed the textbooks for the new semester one by one.

"Students, please write your name on each of your books. We must take good care of our books and keep them clean. Don't throw them away and lose them. Got it?"

Teacher Wang warned that every year there are one or two students who lose their new books as soon as they get them.

"I understand, teacher."

Nan Qiuyue wrote her name on each book and put it into her schoolbag as she finished writing on it so that there would not be one missing.

"Qiuyue, can you help me write my name? Your handwriting is beautiful."

Tang Li's little eyes were fixed on Nan Qiuyue's book. After hesitating for a long time, he finally spoke.

After all, they had only known each other for less than half a day, and she felt embarrassed to make this request.

Unexpectedly, Nan Qiuyue agreed immediately.

"Okay, I'll help you write your name after I finish writing mine."

"Thank you, you are so kind."

Tang Li liked Nan Qiuyue even more now. She thought Nan Qiuyue's handwriting was beautiful and she was a very friendly person. She felt so lucky to be able to sit next to Nan Qiuyue on the first day of school.
