September arrived in the blink of an eye, and the registration period for various schools finally came.

Xu Xinning prepared Mu Leyu and Mu Beichen's schoolbags early in the morning, intending to take them to register for elementary school.

Kuang Meizhu also brought Xu Zehong over early on. He was carrying the same military green canvas crossbody bag with a big red five-pointed star on it as Mu Leyu and Mu Beichen.

The three who were going to register seemed a little excited, but Mu Zhiyu and Mu Youli were a little frustrated. Why couldn't they go to school together?

Here's what happened: Xu Xinning originally thought the children were too noisy, so she wanted to put them in school as soon as possible. However, Qin's maternal grandmother couldn't bear to let her two eldest grandsons suffer so much at such a young age, since they weren't even five years old yet. So she thought she would let them stay in kindergarten for another year.

Grandpa Mu actually approves of Xu Xinning's approach. He has seen his own child's excellence firsthand. After all, what child under five years old can read newspapers and books that are all text?

Their children can.

However, relatively speaking, the eldest child's two children are a little less gifted; they are currently still at the stage where they like to read comic books.

Old Master Mu also had his own ulterior motives.

The earlier the children start school, the sooner they can join the army. He wants to protect the children for a while while he is still in his position.

As people get older, they start to have more to think about.

Moreover, he felt that his children were indeed more outstanding than other children, and outstanding children should be used by the country.

The high-ranking leader praised the children after seeing them, especially Mu Leyu, saying that she was a woman who was just as capable as any man and that she would definitely achieve great things when she grew up.

Since the grandmother has made this decision, we should give her some face, after all, she also has Qin family blood in her veins.

The three children were all dressed in white short-sleeved polyester shirts, blue shorts, and white canvas shoes, looking fresh and capable.

Mu Leyu's hair was tied in a ponytail, adorned with a blue bow matching the color of her pants. The little girl was fair-skinned and looked like she had stepped out of a magazine.

The primary school wasn't far from the compound, so Xu Xinning led them on foot to register.

Mu Zhiyu and Mu Youli watched them walk out of the courtyard, and when they could no longer see them, they couldn't help but cry.

The aunt wiped away the children's tears and comforted them, "Don't cry, your grandma will come to take you to register for kindergarten in a little while."

Speaking of the Mu family's children, none of them have ever attended kindergarten. Xu Xinning felt that kindergarten was just a place to play and that they couldn't learn anything there. So she set out their daily learning schedule herself, and once they finished it, they could have free time.

Because of this, the children not only have a much higher level of knowledge than their peers, but they are also more resilient.

In addition, Mu Jingheng would give them extra tutoring when he had time, so the children's knowledge actually surpassed that of many older children.

Mu Youli, grinning and crying, said, "What's so great about kindergarten? They're all illiterate little brats who just cry with snot running down their faces."

The aunt couldn't help but chuckle, tapping Mu Youli's forehead and saying, "You said others only knew how to cry with their mouths wide open, so what are you doing now?"

Mu Youli suddenly stopped, and it seemed that he was also crying.

Realizing what had happened, he quickly wiped away his tears and said seriously, "Did I cry? Who said I cried? Grandma, you're old, you must be seeing things. Brother, neither of us cried, right?"

Mu Zhiyu didn't actually cry, his eyes were just red. He sighed and said softly, "My older sister and the others have all gone to elementary school now. We won't be able to go to elementary school until next year at the earliest. Won't we be a year younger than them then? But we're about the same age as them!"

Mu Youli also sighed, and said in a mature tone, "What a waste of time!"

The aunt casually said, "That's easy, you can just skip a grade if you're good at it, right? I heard that your second uncle was really good back then, he even helped the middle and high school kids in the compound with their homework for a fee while he was still in elementary school!"

Mu Zhiyu and Mu Youli suddenly realized that if their second uncle could do it, perhaps they could too.

Xu Xinning brought her three children to the registration office. During registration, they would check the household registration book to verify whether the children were of school age.

In this day and age, schools won't stop you from starting school at night, but if you're underage, you definitely will be stopped unless you have connections at the school who have given you advance notice.

The main concern is that if we take in children who are too young, they might not be able to take care of themselves, which would increase our burden and cause trouble.

As expected, Xu Xinning's registration was obstructed.

The person at the registration desk was a young teacher who looked familiar to Xu Xinning, but she couldn't remember where she had seen her before.

The teacher's attitude wasn't very good. With a cold face, she closed the household registration booklet that Xu Xinning handed over and said, "I'm sorry, the child is not old enough to register. You must have come to the wrong place."

Xu Xinning: "Teacher, this age isn't a strict requirement, is it? Although our children are young, they are very independent and have good learning abilities. Why don't you test them before making a decision?"

Teacher: "No need. Do you think I have any free time? Move aside, don't disturb the other children's registration."

Seeing that she couldn't reason with the teacher, Xu Xinning took her child to see the principal.

On the way to see the principal, they saw children cleaning and moving new books in the classrooms, which the three children found very interesting.

Xu Xinning asked with a smile, "When you go to elementary school, will you also do everything by yourselves like these older brothers and sisters?"

Mu Leyu: "Mom, I can do it too. Don't we often help Grandma with chores at home?"

Xu Zehong immediately said, "We can also fold blankets. My brother-in-law said we fold them as well as soldiers."

Mu Beichen looked at Xu Xinning, seemingly also demonstrating his abilities.

Xu Xinning smiled and patted the three little faces, then they went to the principal's office together.

The principal was a female teacher in her forties. She had a warm and kind smile on her face. After listening to Xu Xinning's request, she looked at the three children and asked with a smile, "Do you want to go to school?"

The three children looked at the principal and nodded.

The principal continued, "Can you count?"

Mu Leyu frowned, feeling that the principal was insulting them. Didn't Dad say that counting was something kindergarten kids did? They were about to start elementary school, so why were they being asked if they could count?

Mu Leyu glanced at Xu Xinning, then said to the principal, "Grandma Principal, we can do addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, and we can also do geometry problems. We can count as soon as we can talk."

The principal was quite surprised, but then thought the children might be exaggerating, so he gave them a first-grade math test to do. As a result, all three children finished it in less than twenty minutes.

After the principal graded the papers, all three children got them all right. They were quick and accurate, which really surprised her.
