The principal then gave them the second-grade final exam papers to do, and the three children finished them quickly and got them all right.

The principal started to take it seriously, realizing that the little girl probably hadn't lied.

To find out how well the three children had learned, the principal boldly gave them a fifth-grade math test.

While the three children were diligently working on their problems, the principal pulled Xu Xinning aside for questioning.

Principal: "May I ask your relationship to the child? Are you her older sister or her aunt?"

Xu Xinning pointed to Mu Leyu and Mu Beichen and said, "Principal, hello! I am the mother of those two children. They are twins, a boy and a girl, and the other one is my uncle's child."

The principal laughed: "I really didn't realize that. If you hadn't told me, I would have thought you were still a college student."

Xu Xinning: "Thank you for the praise, Principal!"

Principal: "How do you usually teach these three children?"

Xu Xinning: "We didn't specifically teach them. After they could speak, my husband would take them to read and write whenever he had time. He would also teach them some math in daily life. As they got older, their thirst for knowledge grew stronger. Since there are many children in the family, they would compete with each other. As they got older, they learned more and more."

Principal: "May I give them the Chinese language test paper to try?"

Xu Xinning: "It should be possible. My sister-in-law is taking the college entrance exam next year, and we have a lot of textbooks at home. Sometimes when she is studying by herself while the children are playing, she feels unbalanced and will try to persuade them to study with her."

The principal smiled, thinking that this must be a very harmonious and happy family.

The principal said, "After they finish this test, I will give them a Chinese test. If they can be as good at Chinese as they are at math, I don't think it's necessary for the three children to start from first grade. It would be a waste of their time. We should also implement individualized instruction, shouldn't we?"

Xu Xinning: "I will follow the principal's arrangements, as long as the child can adapt."

The three children didn't finish the fifth-grade test as quickly as they had on the previous tests, since there were quite a few word problems, but it didn't seem to stump them.

After the principal finished grading their work, they were truly impressed. Mu Beichen got all the questions right, while Mu Leyu and Xu Zehong each accidentally got one multiple-choice question wrong. However, after the grading, both of them knew where they went wrong, so the teacher didn't need to explain the questions at all.

Then the principal gave them a Chinese test. This time, instead of starting with the first-grade test, he started directly with the third-grade test. The principal thought to himself, "If they start with the third-grade test, they're already prodigies."

Even Xu Xinning was quite surprised after the exam, since the Chinese test covered a lot of textbook content. She didn't expect all three children to get everything right, and they even did a great job on the final picture-writing exercise.

Actually, Xu Xinning and Mu Jingheng had never taught them systematically according to the textbook at home, so how could she not be surprised that the children were so familiar with the textbook?

Mu Jingshu: Education is something I still have to do! Is it all for nothing to send them out to do exercises all the time?

Xu Laosan: Don't I deserve any credit? Wasn't it me who got those exam papers?

In the end, the principal gave them a fifth-grade Chinese language test to do.

This time the speed was noticeably slower.

The principal stood behind them watching, and the more he looked, the wider his smile became.

Several teachers came over out of curiosity, and after the three children finished, they were all amazed.

"A prodigy! A true prodigy!"

With a little more training, they could be sent to a gifted youth program.

"Won't our school become famous?! Three child prodigies at once!"

The principal asked the fifth-grade Chinese teacher to grade the papers, and the teacher was so excited that her hands were shaking.

When the grades were corrected, the three children's results were surprisingly good.

In the end, the principal decided to let the three children start from the fifth grade, and if they adapted well, they would be allowed to enter the sixth grade next semester to take the entrance exam.

Xu Xinning had no objections. She only had one request: she hoped the school would not overpraise the three children and not mythologize them. The reason they were able to do this was because they had studied in advance, and they were not real prodigies.

Xu Xinning doesn't want her three children to get carried away by the praise, or they won't even know who they are anymore.

After registering, Xu Xinning took her three children home.

The three children were in a state of excitement, never expecting that they could go straight to fifth grade. They felt pretty amazing.

Xu Xinning only asked about the content of the textbook after leaving the school.

Mu Leyu: "My aunt and uncle taught us. They gave us textbooks and let us learn on our own. Whoever learned well and in the shortest time got a reward."

Xu Xinning: "What reward?"

Mu Leyu: "We have pocket money, chocolates, comic books, and everything else we like."

Xu Xinning: "Do you guys do practice tests regularly?"

Xu Xinning noticed that they seemed very skilled at doing the test today, which is why she asked that question.

Mu Leyu: "Of course we have to do it, otherwise how will we know who is learning better?"

Hsu Hsin-ning: "Are Chih-yu and Yu-li the same?"

Mu Leyu: "Of course it's the same, otherwise my aunt would yell that it's unfair. Why should she study so hard while we just eat and play all day?"

Xu Xinning has finally found out who really pushed the seedlings to grow too fast.

However, it seems that the children are quite happy learning, and they seem to like this method, which is good.

When the men of the Mu family came home from get off work that evening and heard about the three children, everyone except Mu Jingheng was incredibly excited, feeling as if their family's ancestral graves were emitting auspicious smoke.

After dinner, Grandpa Mu went to the Qin family and told them about the three children's heroic deeds that day. He also showed Grandpa Qin the test papers that Mu Zhiyu and Mu Youli usually did, which excited Grandpa Qin so much that he personally took Mu Zhiyu and Mu Youli to primary school the next day.

Only then did the principal realize that the three children from yesterday were also children of General Mu.

Thinking back, she realized why Xu Xinning seemed so familiar yesterday; she had seen her in the newspaper.

With such outstanding parents and family members, it's no wonder their child is so exceptional.

After Mu Zhiyu and Mu Youli finished their exams, they were assigned to the same class as Mu Beichen and the others. The fifth grade is going to be quite lively now.

However, many of the children in the primary school were from the compound. The siblings Shao Shuhua and Shao Ruihua also went to school there, as did many of Mu Leyu's followers.

Knowing that the five little devils of the Mu family had actually skipped grades to fifth grade, the underlings were truly in awe!

When the people in the compound heard about this, the sounds of adults yelling at their children while tutoring them could often be heard every night, and a "motivational parenting style" emerged in the compound.

Mu Leyu was very unhappy because her younger brothers were having less and less time to go out and play.
