The question of growing up is profound.

Not to mention Ning Yanshu, even Ning Wan couldn't figure it out.

How can someone who's clearly in their thirties still be so childish and vindictive?!

But before Ning Yanshu could grasp the true meaning of growing up, she was plunged into the most terrifying hellish elementary school life.

I've heard that primary school students these days face a lot of academic pressure, and the phenomenon of intense competition is extremely serious.

There have even been so-called preschool-to-primary transition classes.

Ning Wan didn't want Ning Yanshu to live such a hard life.

Anyway, she had enough money to support Ning Yanshu for a lifetime.

As for the next generation, who cares?

If we take a step back, what if Ning Yanshu doesn't want to have children in the future and plans to remain childless?

So, with Ning Yanshu's consent, Ning Wan enrolled him in Longshou Primary School, the closest school to his home.

On the first day of school registration, Ning Yanshu seemed particularly nervous.

He felt a little uncomfortable in the unfamiliar environment and with unfamiliar people.

Until one moment when he turned around, he saw Wang Zihao and Long Aotian, who had also come to register.

At that moment, the shameful scenes from the graduation ceremony flashed before the eyes of the three of them.

"Mom..." Ning Yanshu looked embarrassed and hesitated before asking, "Do I really have to go to school?"

Didn't we agree that graduating from kindergarten means saying goodbye to our teachers and classmates?

Why did I see them again two months later?!

What was the reason he was crying so emotionally?!

...

Ning Wan spread her hands, looking like she had no choice.

Longshou Primary School is the only public school in Longshou Village, so children living nearby naturally attend this school.

Fortunately, the children are still young and thick-skinned.

After feeling a little embarrassed at first, she quickly became happy that she could go to the same school as her best friend.

As first graders, they began carrying large schoolbags and reciting difficult poems.

Her little face was round and soft.

The child's voice is sweet and cute.

The teaching model in primary schools is very different from that in kindergartens compared to the past.

Even the times for classes and activities before and after class are completely different.

Not only are the children trying to adapt to their new lives, but even the first-grade teachers often have to learn to face many unexpected problems.

For example, halfway through a class, a pair of little hands suddenly shot up from below the podium: "Teacher, I need to go to the toilet."

Fifteen minutes later, the child returned, his pants down and his bottom exposed, crying and shouting for help: "Teacher, I didn't bring any toilet paper..."

...

Another example is secretly bringing snacks to school and being discovered by the principal passing by in the corridor.

A child peeled open a piece of candy and generously popped it into the principal's mouth: "Here, I'll give you one too. Don't you dare tell Teacher Zhang!"

headmaster:"……"

...

For example, during a quiz, the teacher noticed a student burying their head and fidgeting under their drawer.

I thought I'd caught him cheating, but when I got closer, I found out he was just folding paper airplanes.

The child didn't panic at all when caught red-handed by the teacher.

She even took out all the paper airplanes from her drawer and handed them to the teacher, saying, "Here, these are for you! You're welcome!"

Teacher Zhang: "..."

...

Teacher Zhang was often exasperated by these lively and mischievous children, to the point of both laughing and crying.

Of course, not all the children in the class are naughty; there are also well-behaved and intelligent ones.

For example, Tang Tang and Long Aotian.

Tang Tang, who had three years of experience as a class monitor in kindergarten, continued to serve as class monitor after entering the first grade of primary school.

She has excellent grades and consistently ranks first in her class in every quiz.

Long Aotian, who closely followed Tang Tang's footsteps, naturally couldn't fall behind.

His academic performance was also quite excellent.

At a midterm parent-teacher meeting, Ning Wan looked at the blank test paper on Ning Yan's desk and asked in confusion, "Why didn't you do it?"

Ning Yanshu, still confused, asked her, "What are you doing?"

"This is it." Ning Wan pointed to the test paper: "Didn't the teacher hand it out to you so you could answer the questions?"

"Yes, it was sent, but I didn't want it."

Afraid of upsetting Ning Wan, Ning Yanshu quickly added, "I already thanked Teacher Zhang!"

Imagining that scene, Ning Wan was so angry she wanted to pinch her own philtrum.

So that evening.

A lively family meeting was held regarding Ning Yanshu's academic performance.

The two, led by Shen Fu and Lu Chen, initially formed two completely different arguments.

"Education is the foundation of a nation's long-term development; this is a view that my grandfather taught me from a young age. He always had high expectations for my studies and made me learn multiple languages, including English, Japanese, German, and French."

"My grandfather required me to never fall behind others as a child of the Lu family; my maternal grandfather also often encouraged me to read more professional knowledge related to business, such as finance and management. Occasionally, he would let me try things out on my own to learn about economics and business through practice."

Upon hearing this, Ning You looked at him with concern and said, "Wouldn't that make things very difficult for you, husband?"

Hearing Ning You's concern, Lu Chen's heart softened, and his eyes were filled with tenderness.

He smiled faintly and said, "I am the only son in the family, and the only hope of my mother and grandfather. It is normal for my grandfather to have high expectations of me."

With great power comes great responsibility.

This was a burden that fell on his shoulders, and Lu Chen had no way to shirk it.

"It is because of Grandpa Lu's overly strict parenting style that you have the personality you have now."

Lu Chen's forehead veins throbbed.

He countered by asking Shen Fu, "What kind of personality do you think I have?"

Shen Fu opened his mouth, saying indifferently, "Boring, and a repressed pervert..."

Lu Chen: "..."

...

“The old man is strict with you because you are the only one in the Lu family; he has no other choice. But we are different. Xiaoshu still has me and Wanwan.” Shen Fu said, “We never ask him to become a great person in the future. As long as Xiaoshu can live a peaceful and happy life, that’s enough.”

Lu Chen retorted, unconvinced, "But society is developing, and we need to progress too. We can only be prepared for danger in times of peace. How can you guarantee that there won't be another Long Batian or Shen Xinxing in the future?"

Ning Wan and Ning You nodded in unison.

They seemed to agree with his point of view to some extent.
