Chapter 40: Grade Skipping
It was the first time that Liu Qianqian saw such a look in the principal’s eyes. She was immediately frightened and walked away dejectedly.
After she left, the principal looked at the other children and said, "You should study on your own during this class and read your books."
After that, he looked at Ji Yuanyuan: "Yuanyuan, come, come out with me."
Ji Yuanyuan still has a very good impression of the principal.
She walked out of the classroom with her short legs, following the principal.
Outside the classroom, the principal squatted down, raised his hand and gently touched Ji Yuanyuan's head, then spoke.
"Teacher Liu was just joking with you. Actually, you are very smart. They don't know the English that Teacher Liu wrote on the blackboard just now, and only you can read it." The principal's eyes were soft, and his tone was particularly gentle and healing.
"And the tone of your voice is fine. You've always been a good and polite child."
Ji Yuanyuan said sincerely: "Thank you, Principal."
The principal smiled and nodded, "Okay, let's go back to class."
After watching Ji Yuanyuan return to her seat, the principal strode towards the office.
Ji Yuanyuan naturally didn’t know what happened next.
In the afternoon, Ji Yuanyuan was called to the principal's office.
Ji Yuanyuan originally thought it was because of Liu Qianqian's matter, and she was quite nervous.
As soon as he entered, the principal took out a candy from the drawer and put it in Ji Yuanyuan's palm: "Student Ji Yuanyuan, how did you read the English on the blackboard yesterday?"
After all, that was a third grade primary school curriculum, and Ji Yuanyuan was only in the first grade now. She transferred here midway and had not even attended kindergarten.
"I learned it from my brother." Ji Yuanyuan said naively.
It was common knowledge that she had two older brothers, so the principal did not doubt it. He just asked, "How about the principal testing you?"
Ji Yuanyuan nodded.
The reason why she stood out in class yesterday, besides to piss off Liu Qianqian, was because she had another idea: she wanted to skip a grade.
Taking classes with a group of first-grade children is really too boring.
Second-year students should be a little more mature, right?
What's more, if I skip a grade this year, I can find another opportunity to skip a grade tomorrow, and maybe I can jump to the same class as Ji Ziang.
She can also help Ji Ziang with his homework. It's too embarrassing that he is always ranked last.
As far as Ji Yuanyuan knew, Ji Ziang's academic performance in his previous life was not very good.
He was admitted to a second-rate university, and later his fans always mocked him for being a brainless beauty.
In this life, as her brother, Ji Ziang has to be a vase, but he has to be a vase with brains.
The principal took out a Chinese textbook, pointed to a poem and asked, "Can you recite this poem?"
Ji Yuanyuan took a look and saw that the principal was holding a second-grade Chinese textbook.
She closed her eyes and recited: "Live as a hero, die as a ghost hero. I still miss Xiang Yu, who refused to cross the Yangtze River."
The principal was a little surprised and found a few more difficult poems. Ji Yuanyuan memorized all of them.
Then she found another piece of paper and wrote down a few math problems.
"Student Ji Yuanyuan, please try these questions."
Ji Yuanyuan took a pen and wrote down all the answers in a few strokes.
In the shocked eyes of the principal, Ji Yuanyuan felt a little embarrassed. However, it was just addition and subtraction within 100, and she could do it even with her knees.
The principal's look was as if she had won the Nobel Prize. How could it be so exaggerated?
"Student Ji Yuanyuan, don't be in a hurry to leave after school. The principal will go home with you."
Ji Yuanyuan smiled innocently: "I understand, Principal."
In the evening, after school, Ji Yuanyuan waited at the door of the classroom. About ten minutes later, the two brothers Ji Zixuan and Ji Ziang came over.
Someone took Ji Yuanyuan's hand and was about to take her home.
"No, the principal asked me to wait for her. She wants to go home with us." Ji Yuanyuan said crisply.
Ji Ziang frowned, a little suspicious: "Why did the principal want to go home with us? Did you get into trouble?"
Ji Yuanyuan curled her lips helplessly: "Do you think I am you?"
As we were talking, the principal came over with a bag of fruit in his hand.
Ji Zixuan and Ji Ziang were still a little intimidated by the principal, so it was the principal and Ji Yuanyuan who talked all the way.
"Yuanyuan, where does your mother work now? Is she busy at work?"
"My mother sells vegetables and fruits in the market. It's either very busy or very hard."
"Where do you eat in the morning? Does mom have to go out very early?"
"My mother gave me money, and my brother took me to buy food."
…
Soon, we arrived home.
Ji Zixuan opened the door, and a fragrance immediately came from inside.
Li Xu is cooking.
"Put down your schoolbag and take your sister to wash hands. The meal will be ready soon..." Li Xu turned around and saw the principal standing at the door.
"Principal, why are you here?" Li Xu quickly turned off the gas, then looked at Ji Ziang and frowned, "Did Ziang make a mistake again?"
Ji Ziang raised his head and sighed speechlessly, "Mom, can't you hope for the best for me? The principal came here this time because of my sister. She must have made a mistake."
Hearing this, Li Xu was startled and subconsciously asked the principal: "Principal, is Yuanyuan being bullied?"
Li Xu's reaction made the principal laugh.
If you come for Ji Ziang, it means Ji Ziang got into trouble. If you come for Ji Yuanyuan, it means you got bullied.
"I'm so sorry to have delayed your meal." The principal put the fruit on the ground and said, "Student Ji Ziang has been doing well recently, and student Ji Yuanyuan has not been bullied. I came here to discuss something with you."
Li Xu finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Ji Zixuan and Ji Ziang: "You two should go do your homework first. I will talk to your principal."
The two brothers entered the room obediently. Li Xu went to pour water for the principal and asked nervously, "I wonder what you are here for."
The principal quickly took the water and said, "It's like this. I just discovered today that Yuanyuan's cultural level has far exceeded that of the first graders. Now it is basically at the level of the first semester of the third graders. What I mean is, why don't we let her skip a grade next semester?"
Li Xu looked at Ji Yuanyuan in surprise. When did her daughter learn this? Was it in the space?
"Some teachers have indeed reported that Yuanyuan is not focused in class. It is probably because she has learned everything and is unwilling to learn again. I thought that if she skips a grade and has some difficulty in learning, maybe she will be able to concentrate."
Li Xu quickly said, "I'll do as you say. I have no objection."
Upon hearing this, the principal said, "That's it. Let her go directly to the second grade next semester."
