Chapter 145 Skipping a Grade
After that, Xiong Shan's family didn't dare to cause any more trouble for Xiao Taohua. Xiong Shan also transferred schools. It was said that the Xiong family lost their jobs and went back to their relatives' home in the countryside. No one was interested in or had time to ask any further details.
Yin Qing and his wife later wanted to cause trouble for each other, but they didn't even have to lift a finger.
However, another bolt from the blue struck, and the couple looked rather grim.
But there's nothing we can do about it; it's certainly served as a deterrent.
Elementary school students, especially first graders, spend their days learning the same things: recognizing characters, recognizing characters, and more recognizing characters. They don't pay much attention to other subjects, as it's all about recognizing characters.
Little Peach Blossom learned very quickly, or rather, she recognized all the characters. At first, she looked forward to going to school, but later she wanted to skip class.
She kept learning the same things over and over again, and the other children in her class both admired and kept their distance from her. Little Peach felt wronged and didn't want to go to school anymore.
Yes, she developed a dislike for school as soon as the semester started.
As for Hong Yuemei, although she wanted to be friends with Xiao Taohua, Xiao Taohua insisted on not doing so!
A promise is a promise, and Little Peach Blossom is not one to break her word.
"Mommy, Peach Blossom really doesn't want to go to school anymore." Peach Blossom tugged at her mother's sleeve, her little face scrunched up.
Yin Qing smiled and pinched her daughter's cheek: "Weren't you the one who looked forward to going to school the most?"
"No, I'm not looking forward to it anymore."
"Is that so?"
"I know everything the teacher teaches, so I feel really bored in class."
"Our little peach blossom is so smart."
"Yeah, my classmates are all so stupid, they don't know anything."
"How about this, we skip a grade?" Yin Qing said.
"Skip a grade?"
"Yes, you can skip from first grade to second grade, or third grade to fourth grade. But you have to take an exam to skip a grade. You can only skip a grade if you pass the exam."
"What if you fail the exam?"
"If you fail the exam, you'll have to stay at this age and continue attending classes obediently."
"Okay, Mom, I'm going to take the test."
"Okay, it's settled then."
"It's a deal!"
Little Peach Blossom was full of confidence; she could do it.
The couple had discussed it before agreeing to let their daughter skip a grade. Just like they had thought, since they were already the center of attention, a little more talking wouldn't hurt.
Then, the news that Xiao Taohua was about to take the exam to skip a grade spread throughout the school.
After her initial surprise, Ms. Jiang wasn't too astonished. After all, the child was in her class, so she knew him quite well. It was just a pity that she couldn't continue teaching him.
Hong Yuemei, upon hearing the news, also insisted that her parents let her take the grade-skipping exam. She had vowed to be friends with Xiao Taohua, and if they didn't skip grades together, they wouldn't be able to be friends in the future!
In the end, this kind of thing always makes a big fuss. Some people think that Xiao Taohua is smart and natural, while others think that she is just fooling around. Unsurprisingly, Xiao Taohua has once again become the center of attention.
Fortunately, no one, whether good or bad, reported or did anything. There are still clear examples ahead, and no one wants to end up like the Xiong family, which is tragic and unbearable to offend.
So, on the day of Xiao Taohua's exam, the school was bustling with activity. Yin Qing and his wife came, as did Tieguai Li and his grandson; basically, everyone who could come was there, making it as lively as New Year's. Because of Xiao Taohua's special status, even if the principal wanted to stop her, he couldn't. So, while Xiao Taohua was taking her exam, a crowd gathered outside the classroom.
"Guangsheng, what grade do you think my little peach blossom can skip to?" Knowing that his daughter is smart is one thing, but he really doesn't know the specifics.
"Just watch," Lin Guangsheng said.
"Fifth grade is no problem," Tieguai Li said with a smile.
"Really?" Yin Qing looked at the other person.
They, as parents, may not know the details, but Xiao Taohua's medical teacher certainly does.
"Yes, I have taught him." Tieguai Li stroked his beard and smiled.
Although he usually teaches mostly medical skills, he also teaches the content in textbooks, not just Chinese, but also math. There's no way around it, since his apprentice has a photographic memory. Even when he has nothing else to teach, Tieguai Li will sometimes pick up his grandson's textbook and teach him a little something.
"Thank you for your hard work, Master Li," Lin Guangsheng said.
"No, it's because Xiao Taohua is smart. Actually, Xiao Taohua is fine in junior high, but fifth grade is better," Tieguai Li said with a smile.
"It's good." The couple smiled at each other.
With this assurance in mind, the couple was no longer worried and instead had time to observe the crowd of onlookers.
To be honest, I feel helpless every time I see the influence my daughter has on her.
Fortunately, these effects will not have any negative impact on my daughter.
They even felt a sense of gratitude, albeit subtly.
In this era, having a deterrent force is essential for safety.
In the classroom, Xiao Taohua completed a test paper and the teacher graded it. She was quite fast, which was also related to the fact that the tests in elementary school were not that difficult. The teacher graded them very quickly. The test papers with perfect scores made the onlookers' eyes light up, and the crowd occasionally let out a sigh of admiration.
Different people are just different; most people can't compare.
After all, most people in this world are ordinary people. Little Peach Blossom, who has just started school, may not even know how to write her own name, but she has already taken the lead.
Xiao Taohua did well on her exam, but Hong Yuemei did not. She couldn't solve the third-grade exam, especially the composition.
So in the end, even if Hong Yuemei skipped a grade, she could only skip to the second grade, but her parents ultimately made her stay in the first grade.
Although she was unwilling, there was nothing she could do. She didn't have a particularly bright mind, so it was better to follow the established path than to repeat a second grade.
Just as Tieguai Li had guessed, Xiao Taohua got a perfect score on all the fifth-grade tests at school.
If elementary school didn't only have a fifth grade, I probably could have continued to take the exams.
The principal's eyes shone as he looked at Xiao Taohua. A genius! A living genius! He had never seen one in his lifetime! It was truly...
The principal excitedly adjusted his glasses and walked forward with a smile: "Welcome to the fifth grade, Lin Xiaotao."
"Thank you, Principal. I will continue to work hard."
"Yeah, come on."
"Wow, Little Peach Blossom is amazing. I'd be perfectly content if my child was half as good as her."
"Hey, no other child could be as amazing as Little Peach Blossom. She's God's favorite daughter. Why compare her to Little Peach Blossom? It's not like she's tired of living."
"That's right, that's right."
"Haha, a seven-year-old fifth grader, a little kid sitting among big kids, we can't let the big kids bully us."
"Who dares to bully us?"
"There was a Bear Mountain before."
"Hey, that's a company that's completely clueless."
Hong Yuemei, whose mind is not clear: ...
She tugged at her mother's clothes and backed away. She had been a little confused at first, but thankfully she had cleared her head later.
So, don't see her, don't see her...
Hong Yuemei's mother looked at her daughter with amusement, but didn't say anything. It was good that her daughter was a little scared, so that she wouldn't be spoiled and become unruly.
