According to the national regulations, children should be eight years old to start school. Teachers will determine whether a child is old enough to attend school based on their physical condition and intelligence test results.
Er Ya is too young; it remains to be seen whether she can get past the teacher's hurdle.
Lin Jianguo wandered around the school for a long time but couldn't find the place for new student registration.
Seeing Lin Jianguo so anxious, like an ant on a hot pan, unable to find a place.
Er Ya pointed helplessly ahead: "Dad, is that it? I see a lot of people there."
Lin Jianguo looked up and saw that it was indeed parents with children who were only a few years old. In order not to lose face in front of Er Ya, Lin Jianguo puffed out his chest and said, "That's it. I just saw it. Let's go over there quickly."
After waiting for a long time, it was finally Er Ya's turn. A gentle-looking female teacher in her early twenties looked at Er Ya and asked Lin Jianguo, "Isn't this child old enough? She doesn't look that old to me."
Er Ya straightened her back and said in a childish voice, "Hello teacher, my name is Lin Xi, and I'm almost six years old. Although I'm not old enough, I'm very smart. You can test me anytime, and I can answer all the questions."
Oh?! Teacher Fangzi became interested: "Lin Xi, then I'm going to test you. I'll give you some numbers, so you can count from 1 to 30. I'll see how good you are."
It wasn't that the teacher was being difficult for Er Ya. Children this age usually attend preschool for a year, so they can count simple numbers without any problems.
I never imagined that this stylishly dressed young girl in front of me had just come from the village and had never attended school.
Isn't this so easy? With her hands behind her back, she began to read in a childish voice: "…………30".
Lin Jianguo wasn't sure if he was right or wrong, but seeing his daughter's confident demeanor, he couldn't help but clap his hands.
Ms. Fangzi nodded in satisfaction, then held up five fingers and asked, "How many is this?"
Er Ya answered crisply, "Five."
How many is this?
"three".
Fangzi nodded in satisfaction and said, "Okay, Lin Xi, you meet all the requirements and can go to school now. I'll take you to your classroom later, and I'll be your substitute teacher from now on."
Er Ya sweetly called out, "Hello, teacher! You're so beautiful, teacher! I liked you at first sight!"
This girl has such a sweet tongue; she's so lovable at first glance. After exchanging words with the teacher next to me, I took Er Ya and prepared to go to the classroom.
Lin Jianguo wanted to follow, but Teacher Fangzi stopped him: "Lin Xi's father, you can leave Lin Xi to me. You can go back now and come pick her up when it's time."
"She's enrolled just like that?" Lin Jianguo was still a little incredulous. He had originally thought that Er Ya was too young to go, and he was even thinking of asking Qian Lu for help. That kid had a lot of connections, and maybe he could put in a good word for her.
Unexpectedly, she was admitted directly. Lin Jianguo was proud of his daughter. Seeing that none of the other students were accompanied by their parents, he could only say, "Then I'll have to trouble you, teacher."
"Er Ya? Lin Xi, is that your nickname?"
Er Ya nodded and said, "That's what my family calls me."
"Well, at school, we'll be called by our full names. Look how nice your name sounds; the teacher really likes it."
It's not that the school rules forbid calling people by nicknames, it's just that in a class, if you say "Er Ya," more than a dozen people will stand up in a flash. The rate of duplicate names is too high. Lin Xi is much more catchy and easy to pronounce!
"Okay, Dad, take your time on your way back, and don't forget to come pick me up."
Lin Jianguo turned around and went back. Er Ya happily followed behind Teacher Fangzi, telling her about the school buildings as they walked: "This is where we run. You can come here to play for a while after you finish your homework."
"This is a vegetable garden set up by the teachers at the school. You can come here to observe how the seedlings grow when you have time."
"This is where we teach, Grade 1 (1). My desk is in the room we just came from. If you need anything, go there to find me."
Now, on the podium, he clapped his hands and said, "Everyone, please be quiet. This is our new student. Let her introduce herself, shall we?"
Er Ya, imitating Teacher Fangzi, stood on the podium and said in a loud voice, "Hello everyone, I am Lin Xi, a new student. There are many things I don't understand, and I hope you will take care of me in the future."
Thunderous applause erupted from below. Looking at her young age, she seemed easy to bully, and since she said she didn't understand anything, wouldn't that make her even easier to coax?
To everyone's surprise, right after the first exam, Er Ya dominated the headlines with her outstanding grades, receiving praise for getting perfect scores and ranking first in her grade. This title lasted until she graduated from elementary school.
In the classroom, Er Ya sat in the seat the teacher had assigned her and began to listen attentively to the teacher's lecture.
She still wanted to see if the current courses were the same as what she had learned before. What if the content had changed and was extremely difficult? Wouldn't she be completely lost?
Watching the teacher skillfully write the character "人" (person) on the blackboard and point to it with her finger, leading everyone to read it together: "Come on, everyone, read it with me, okay? '人' means 'people,' good people."
Er Ya silently complained to herself, really not wanting to read such idiotic stuff. Just as she was about to lie down on the table and take a nap, she was hit by a piece of chalk from Teacher Fangzi.
"Lin Xi, come here and write down this 'person'."
Write it neatly.
Er Ya ran over, lightly wrote something on the chalk, put it down, and sweetly asked, "Teacher? Did I write it correctly?"
Teacher Fangzi paused for a moment, then looked at the words on the blackboard again; they were written even better than hers.
"Lin Xi, you have mastered it and wrote very well, but I know you want to sleep. Could you please not snore when you sleep so as not to disturb the other children?"
Er Ya nodded, returned to her seat, and fell fast asleep. She was so tired that she drifted off to sleep in no time.
Fangzi's voice still echoed in my ears from time to time: "Wang Yang, those are a left-falling stroke and a right-falling stroke, not a vertical stroke."
"And you, Li Dahui, look at what you wrote! You still have the nerve to laugh at others."
At first, you could still faintly hear some sounds, but when she entered a deep sleep, you couldn't hear any sounds at all.
When Er Ya woke up, it was already noon. Er Ya rubbed her rumbling stomach, quickly packed her schoolbag, and rushed out of the school.
