With a cheat code, she travels through the 40s and hoards goods to take her motherland to new height

Next, she needs to find a school quickly, preferably one where she can start school today!

With her shoulder bag on her back, Shu Ran set off for Zhang Pingfang's school.

Zhang Pingfang had taken her to their school before; it was quite large, and she was familiar with the location. So, she decided to go and check out this Yuguang School first.

"You're late? Hurry up and go in! You can make it to the first class."

When the gatekeeper saw Shu Ran coming over, he mistakenly thought she was a student from the school who had arrived late.

Shu Ran greeted him with a smile: "Hello, sir! I'm here to see the principal and ask what's required for admission to our school?"

Grandpa Guo put down his cup and looked at Shu Ran with curiosity: "Why are you here at this time?"

He kindly pointed out the location to Shu Ran: "Go along this road, turn left, and go to the top floor. The principal's office is marked there!"

"Thank you, uncle!"

After thanking her, Shu Ran was about to go inside.

Grandpa Guo called out to Shu Ran, not forgetting his own job, and pointed to the hand-sewn notebook on the table, saying, "Wait, fill out a form first!"

"The school is full of children, and I have to ensure the safety of the students inside."

Shu Ran replied, "I understand, you're just doing your job!"

Seeing the idioms Shu Ran used, Grandpa Guo asked, "A cultured person! Did you go to school before?"

"Yes, I went to school. My family and I moved here, and we didn't have time to find a school."

"Okay, go ahead!"

After filling in her name, Shu Ran was able to enter the school smoothly.

Following Grandpa Guo's directions, we successfully found the principal's office.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Please come in!"

Shu Ran recognized a familiar-looking middle-aged man sitting at the desk; he was the nagging son of the old man who sold soda.

"It's you!"

Clearly, the middle-aged man also recognized Shu Ran.

"Hello, Principal! You still remember me!"

Shu Ran greeted them obediently. Her appearance had changed a lot compared to a few months ago. First of all, her skin tone was much better than before, which was dark and tan.

Although it hasn't regained its original fair complexion, it has become much fairer.

"Yes, of course I remember! My dad, cough, mentioned you, praising your taste."

What kind of flavor is it? Is it chilled soda?

The principal was a little embarrassed. There was nothing he could do; his family members didn't eat such unhealthy and unhealthy food, except for his father, who especially liked it.

"Uh, is there something you need?"

The principal changed the subject.

"I'm here to inquire about schooling. If possible, I'd like to start classes today."

Shu Ran then briefly explained her situation.

"You can sit there and wait a while! Or go out for a walk and come back in half an hour. I'll prepare a test paper."

The principal agreed without hesitation.

"Okay, thank you for your help, Principal."

Shu Ran decided to go out for a walk before coming back. Staying in the principal's office was too awkward, and she had to watch people give her questions.

By the way, I'll also take care of enjoying the scenery.

Half an hour later, Shu Ran returned from the wisteria-covered corridor of the school in a cheerful mood. Although it was already November, the withered winter scenery was still a beautiful sight.

"You're back? You have two hours. Do as much as you can, and I'll assign you to a grade and class based on your test performance."

Sitting opposite the principal, Shu Ran took the test paper, glanced at it, and began answering the questions.

The problems aren't difficult. She just needs to control herself and not write in simplified Chinese characters, which aren't widely used yet, and she shouldn't write anything that's out of touch with the times.

Fortunately, during her time at the Qian family's house, she had already mastered the characters she now commonly uses and had read through her textbooks several times.

After more than an hour, Shu Ran turned the completed test paper around and pushed it to the principal.

"I finished."

After reviewing the paper, the principal looked at Shu Ran with approval: "Not bad, but your grasp of some basic knowledge is not very solid."

"Go to the second floor and call over Ms. Li Lixia, the teacher of the second year of junior high school."

It seems this person will be her future homeroom teacher.

Shu Ran accepted the order and turned to leave the principal's office.

"Principal, you wanted to see me!"

Shu Ran followed Li Lixia in.

"This student's name is Shu Ran. She will be in your class from now on! Take her to pay her tuition and pick up her books, and then you can bring her directly to your class."

"Understood, Principal. I'll take Shu Ran and leave now."

As they walked, Li Lixia learned about Shu Ran's situation and also introduced the school.

"Does your home live nearby? If it is, I wouldn't recommend you stay at the dormitory. You've arrived late, and the dormitories are basically full now."

"Teacher, I'll just apply for day school."

"Okay, by the way, you'll start classes today. I need to tell you that students aren't allowed to go home for lunch. You can bring your own food, or you can bring food to the kitchen to exchange for meal tickets. If you don't bring any, you can go to the back gate of the school at lunchtime. There are often stalls selling food there."

"Thank you, teacher. I really can't remember."

Li Lixia was young, just over twenty years old. When she talked to Shu Ran, she didn't have the air of a teacher at all. She even shared with Shu Ran which restaurant near the back gate had the best and cleanest food.

After completing the enrollment procedures, it was almost lunchtime.

Li Lixia glanced at her watch, paused in her steps toward the classroom, and turned to lead Shu Ran toward the back door.

"Come on, I'll take you to lunch! I didn't bring any lunch from home today, and I'm tired of the food in the cafeteria."

Thinking about her own appetite and the sumptuous lunch required by the mission, but it was too late to change her mind now, Shu Ran could only quickly catch up with Li Lixia.

Hopefully the food at the back gate will meet the standards!

Without even leaving the school grounds, separated by several wide railings, Lin Lixia skillfully bought her lunch.

Without asking Shu Ran any pointless questions about whether she had brought any money, she took someone to pay the tuition and book fees, confirming that she still had some money left over, more than enough for lunch.

Seeing the few vendors around, Shu Ran ordered a set of pancakes, a sesame seed cake, and a bowl of fried dough sticks, then stopped. She planned to fill her stomach first and then find a quiet place to cook a private meal later.

After lunch, Lin Lixia showed Shu Ran the classroom and arranged her seat: "Class starts at 1:30 pm. There will be an audio reminder before class. You can go in and rest or go out for a walk now, just don't leave the school."

After glancing at the empty classroom, Lin Lixia explained, "Everyone should be eating by now. Those who bring their own lunch will go to the cafeteria, where they can help heat up their food. If you bring your own lunch later, you can go there. The firewood for heating up food is collected by the students themselves in their spare time."

The tables, chairs, benches, and books have all been delivered. Although they are not brand new, they are all very clean.

"Thank you, teacher. You can go and rest now. I'm going in."

Fortunately, there was no nap task. After watching Lin Lixia leave, Shu Ran sat down in her seat on the second floor by the window, where she had a wide view, although it was a bit too far forward and she was more likely to get chalk dust in her mouth!

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, Shu Ran picked out some mild-tasting but nutritious food and treated herself to a meal.
