Yu Rujia inwardly complained, but thinking about how her family attracted attention, she encouraged them, "Duoshou did a good job. As long as they don't harm anyone, don't tell anyone outside your family what you know."
Duo Shou put on a serious face and said earnestly, "Auntie, I will only tell these things to my family."
Yu Rujia felt a sudden itch in her palm and couldn't help but give him a flick on the forehead: "Don't copy your older brother in everything. It's not cute at all. Smile for me."
As the eldest brother, Duofu was more serious when disciplining his younger brother, and over time, Duofu's face gradually turned icy.
Yu Rujia corrected him several times, and the boy would indeed smile in front of her; however, when she wasn't around, his face would revert to its original state.
Especially when his younger brothers made mistakes, his little face would turn stern, and a chill would emanate from him. Whenever Duolu and the others saw this, they would carefully tuck their tails between their legs, honestly confess what they had done, and then get scolded and punished.
Duo Shou has always aimed for good fortune and is determined to become a good older brother who can keep his younger brothers in line. The fair-skinned little dumpling who used to roll his eyes often has changed his appearance and now often has a stern face.
As for ice cubes, one is enough for the house. Yu Rujia absolutely does not want any more, not even one more.
There's little chance of turning Duofu around; Duoshou's icy, undeveloped face must be corrected.
Just as Duoshou was feeling smug, his little body stiffened. He realized that he had inadvertently touched his aunt's taboo again. The little guy quickly loosened his lips and a smiling face appeared.
The soft, fluffy little dumpling appeared, and Yu Rujia happily rubbed his little face: "Yes, that's it. Our Duoshou has the best smile, so you should smile more."
The person who got hit on the head was Duoshou, and Duofu, who was sitting next to him, immediately adjusted his facial expression as if he felt the same way, and showed a shy smile.
Yu Rujia encouraged, "Duofu looks good when he smiles. Smile more often. You can't always have a long face at home."
Doro laughed heartily, "Auntie, I'm happy every day, I don't have a long face."
Duoxi sidled up and giggled, "Me too, I laugh, I laugh every day."
Yu Rujia put her arms around a soft little dumpling in each hand: "As expected of your aunt's precious baby, come here, let your aunt hug you."
September arrived as scheduled, and Yu Rujia took Duofu, who had a new schoolbag, to the primary school in Shangfen Brigade.
Duofu studied literature and martial arts at home with Gao Shujing for two or three years, and his academic level was more than enough to be at the fourth or fifth grade level.
Neither Yu Rujia nor Gao Shujing planned to let him skip a grade. Firstly, childhood only happens once, and entering the adult world too early is not a good thing.
Secondly, studying at school allows one to learn knowledge more systematically and also learn how to get along with others.
The most important point is that the college entrance examination is over, and given the Xia family's current situation, exposing Duofu to the public too early might lead to more unforeseen events.
After careful consideration, they decided to let Duofu do the appropriate things at the appropriate age.
Shangfen Brigade is a large village with one or two thousand people. After the town launched a large-scale recruitment drive, most of the brigade members' families, realizing the benefits of education, were willing to spend the money for their children's future.
There were more than 100 children sent to primary school, and the school had a total of four teachers, including the principal.
There are only four teachers for the five grades in the primary school, not even one for each grade, but that's okay, the teachers will allocate themselves.
There are more than 100 students, mainly in the first and second grades. The number of students in the third, fourth and fifth grades will gradually decrease. For example, the fifth grade in the previous year did not even have ten students.
Therefore, the first and second grades in the school have dedicated teachers, while the third, fourth and fifth grades are taught by two teachers on a rotating basis.
The first-grade teacher was a man in his thirties named Guo Xueyou, whom they had met in the team.
Upon seeing him, Duofu greeted him crisply, "Hello, Teacher Guo."
Guo Xueyou laughed and said, "I heard that Duofu knows a lot of characters. Why doesn't Yu Zhiqing take him to test his knowledge in the higher grades?"
Duofu's friend Gou Dan is in second grade this semester, and Hua Zi is in third grade.
Hua Zi is doing better, but Gou Dan has always been mischievous and can't concentrate on studying, so his grades are predictably poor, and failing exams is a regular occurrence for him.
Huang Guihua would get a headache and want to beat him up every time she saw his homework, but Hua Zi, who couldn't bear to see his friend get beaten up, would occasionally give him some pointers on his homework.
Unfortunately, Gou Dan just couldn't learn it. He would teach it one minute and forget it the next, often making the quiet Hua Zi so angry that she would curse him out.
When playing with Duofu and others, these things inevitably came up in conversation.
Duo Shou was interested in learning, so he asked Gou Dan to show them his homework. To their surprise, Duo Shou discovered that he could do all the problems.
A group of people started pointing out his homework. If Gou Dan could learn it so quickly, he wouldn't be Gou Dan.
Several people were giving instructions, but Gou Dan's homework was still covered in red X's.
In order to get Gou Dan to focus on his studies, Duo Fu made a stern statement: if Gou Dan's homework was still a complete mess, he would no longer be allowed to come to learn martial arts.
Only then did the martial arts-loving Gou Dan steel himself to do his homework. Although his grades were still not ideal, at least he was able to pass.
Gou Dan's grades improved so much that Guo Xueyou was surprised. Upon asking, he learned that it was Duo Fu's doing.
Guo Xueyou also learned from Gou Dan that Duofu could also give Hua Zi some pointers on his homework, and occasionally give Er Dan and Da Wa, who were both in fourth grade, some pointers.
That's why Guo Xueyou was so surprised when such a talented student like Duofu came to register for first grade.
Yu Rujia casually remarked, "We only taught him some basic knowledge at home, so it wasn't comprehensive. He still needs to listen to the explanations from professional teachers like you to help him fill in the gaps in his knowledge."
Jacky Kwok: "Even if it's just to fill in the gaps, there's no need to start from first grade. Why not let him take a second-grade test? If he can do it, I recommend him to go to third grade. Duofu is smart and will definitely be able to keep up with their learning pace."
Yu Rujia: "There's no need to rush. Duofu is young and has just come to school. We need to let him adjust first. Let's start from first grade."
Seeing that she had made up her mind, Guo Xueyou stopped trying to persuade her: "Your arrangement is fine. Once he's settled in, if he wants to skip a grade, he can come to me anytime."
With Duofu away at school, he couldn't be with his brothers as often as before.
Duolu and Duoxi played wildly in the brigade like two runaway horses, sometimes even daring to run into the mountains, which was already quite something.
The two foolish brothers, relying on their meager martial arts skills, dared to venture into places they had never explored before; their audacity was off the charts.
