Next day her aunt prepared for her hearty BREAKFAST and also packed some for her JOURNEY too.She EMBARRa.s.sED her before bidding her goodbye and said, "Remember to be MODEST all your way of years in learning...because a modest HEART learns goodwill, FAREWELL..."
Li was slightly SAD but waved her goodbye with a warm SMILE.
Her UNCLE was a MAN of few words but she always received FATHERLY AFFECTION from him.
It was due to her study that she had to part with them.
A coachman was riding the CART and she and her uncle were sitting inside SHADED cart not too worn with years.
She cast the last LOOK in the village house... and the people she received a lot of CARE and LOVE from them.
Outside scenery was rapidly moving.
She was excited in her heart.
The whole day pa.s.sed and they were still moving, except the intervals they took to take rest and eat, finally, they entered a huge gate.
They stop there for a while and she looked at the erected grand words, "Yellow River School...!"
While she was supposed to get admission in Primary Grade Level Manner Inst.i.tute, they further went in!
Now they traveled through Riverside, beautiful and calm river indeed, on both sides were flower lines and beyond flowers, lines were vast green grounds
She was in complete DAZE just in end, river further turned a different path and in front of them was a MAGNIFICENT building of different PATTERN_!
She witnessed very first time and in its head was fairly WRITTEN Primary Grade Level Manner Inst.i.tute...now she looked SURPRISINGLY... this was the place where she would SPEND two years... not bad... she thought in her HEART_!
Her uncle informed his ARRIVAL and the purpose to admit his niece.
It was the EVENING of the day_ when they reached this school_ so they were given rooms for stay TEMPORARY_ for the night and next day they could meet the office responsible for new ADMISSION_!!
She was allotted a separate room for stay and today was her face to face interview with DEAN and Deputy Dean of Yellow River School.
She wore her best clothing and prepared for INTERVIEW_ her uncle accompanied her in the OFFICE of the Dean_ they clasped fist and bowed to each in respect_and took seats when Dean nodded.
She was not worried over anything they did not QUESTION her either her parents or belongings_ Dean was a man of ordinary looks but RESERVED in manners while Deputy Dean was a female.
She was simply elegant Dean directly talked to her uncle...that if she performed well...she would be promoted to the Yellow River.
Now she was truly curious about this Yellow River...they further explained things to her uncle and he simply nodded in agreement.
Jen and her Uncle BOWED to Dean and Deputy Dean and left the office with a SMILE on their faces.
Her uncle dropped her at her residing room, "You no longer belong to the village... now you are at a big place where there are numerous opportunities for you to polish yourself...and after you performed well and got promoted...there are few things that your uncle wanted to share with you...!! Remember after two years, you would be seven years old and your uncle had promised to his friend that the legacy of father would be delivered to a daughter at seven..!..!!"
[She was surprised such a big school and almost zero formality for her admission though it was good other than to answer so many questions of two big people.!!]
Her uncle caressed her bid her farewell.
This was the second time that her uncle REMINDED her about the legacy of her father_and second time she thought about it_ if her uncle was to this much affectionate_ how much affection she would have received from her FATHER.
She looked at the disappearing figure of her uncle and turned back to her room but she was not much curious to know the legacy of her father.
She saw her room which was needy furnished.
She was used to sleeping in a separate room even in the village.
She EXAMINED the complete room and found the THINGS she needed.
Her UNCLE had clearly INSTRUCTED her and her AUNT had ADVISED her best_ what she needed was to fulfill their expectations_ it was best she could do to pay back their affection.
There were things to be done today before the first attendance tomorrow.
There was a small bookshelf where Primary Grade Level Manner Inst.i.tute rule book was placed...also white robs set of clothes...and a few things she needed in her first attendance.
She went through rulebook... there was also a small BOOKLET which ill.u.s.trated how to behave in front of an attendant...she keenly read them moreover they were very simply elaborated.
