Chapter 2

Next day her aunt prepared hearty breakfast for her and also packed some for her journey too.

She caressed 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 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 at 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 passed 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 Institute, 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 the end, river further turned a different path and in front of them was a magnificent building of different unique patter.

She witnessed very first time and in its head was fairly written Primary Grade Level Manner Institution, 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, when they reached this school so they were given rooms temporary for temporary stay 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 the interview.

She walked in the open and her eyes fell on a student, he was already looking at her.

She looked at him curiously, why his face seemed familiar? Did she ever saw him before?

She hold the hand of her uncle with reservation and tried to hide behind him, her uncle could understand, she was in a new place.

Her uncle accompanied her in the office of the Dean, they clasped fist and bowed to each with 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.

With the gesture of the Dean, her uncle told her to wait outside the office.

She bowed and went out obediently.

"Did you share the past of her parents and the circumstances in which she was left to you for care," Dean asked concerning.

"No, I did not because it would have affected her personality development and may be unstable thoughts," her uncle seriously answered.

"You did great thing, now I am clear that she was in good hands, from now on she is the responsibility of Yellow River School until she find her purpose," Dean stood up and clasped his hand.

They called her back in the office.

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 the daughter at seven."

She nodded her head.

She did not want to disappoint her by showing that she was little worried, and she fear to be here alone.

"Don't feel alone here, you will start liking this place once you set a big goal for yourself to achieve," he patted on her shoulder.

She looked blankly, how come her uncle know what was in her heart?

She looked back at the grand building and nodded.

[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 and her bid her farewell.

She remembered his advice.

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 sleep 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 Institute 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 illustrated how to behave in front of an attendant, she keenly read them moreover they were very simply elaborated.
