Like every other visit, she sat behind the glass in the meeting room, excitedly waiting for Boyi to come out.
On the way to the meeting room, Boyi was very puzzled. Shumei's visiting time had not changed over the years, so why was it suddenly advanced this time? He was very uneasy and thought that something bad had happened at home.
His steps became faster and faster, his expression became unusually heavy, as if he had a lot on his mind.
When Shumei saw him come in, her face was full of smiles.
Seeing Shumei's expression, his uneasiness subsided a little, but only for a moment. The next moment, worry crept back in. He excitedly threw himself onto his seat and picked up the phone.
"Did something happen at home?"
"No! Everything is fine at home."
"Then why did you come to see me so early? Isn't it always at the end of the month? Don't hide it from me. I'm also a member of the family. I have the right to know if there is anything going on."
"Well! There is something I want to tell you, but it shouldn't be a bad thing. Xiao Youchen came back to me yesterday and told me that he wanted to apply for a skipping grade exam and go directly to junior high school after finishing the fifth grade. I wanted to ask for your opinion. Do you support him doing this?" Shumei simply stated her purpose.
Boyi thought for a moment and asked, "Do you agree?"
Shumei's face still showed a hint of embarrassment. "I don't understand this either. Xiao Youchen said he thought it through clearly and knew everything he needed to know for sixth grade, and he didn't want to waste another year. Seeing how determined he was, it was hard to stop him, so I reluctantly agreed. There's still nearly a month until the final exams, so if you don't want me to, I can stop him again."
"I believe in your decision, and I also believe in Xiao Youchen. I support you both. Since you've already promised the child, let him do it! It's a good thing that he has his own opinion."
"Okay, since you said so, then I'm relieved. Are you doing well recently? I came here in a hurry this time, so I didn't prepare much for you. If you need anything, tell me now. I'll come to see you again after the child's grades come out."
"I have everything I need. Just take care of yourself. I'll take care of the family."
The two chatted calmly until the supervising teacher shouted that the time was up, and Shumei left reluctantly.
On the third day, Shumei went to school with her two children. The teacher explained the situation to her in detail. Since she had promised Xiao Youchen the previous day, she would not return today. Although the teacher wanted her to persuade Xiao Youchen to reconsider, she politely declined.
Next, Xiao Youchen studied even harder, looking forward to the final exam.
On the day of the final exam, his seat in the fifth-grade class was empty, while in the sixth-grade class, there was a temporary desk.
The exam bell rang, and the students in Grade 6 Class 1 each took their seats and fell silent. When he walked into the classroom with his pencil case, all the dozens of students gave him strange looks. For a moment, he seemed like a monster.
He sat down at the makeshift desk. The students in front, behind, and around him were staring at him intently. He smiled at them awkwardly.
Before the teacher arrived, a boy asked him, "Are you a new transfer student?"
He shook his head.
"Are you from another class? Why haven't I seen you before?"
He smiled again and shook his head.
"Are you mute? Can't you say anything?" The boy sitting in the back row, who looked like an unqualified student, said bluntly, seeing that Xiao Youchen remained silent.
"I'm Tang Youchen from Class 1, Grade 5. I'm very happy to take the final exam with you."
The boy said in surprise: "What? Grade 5, Class 1, did you walk into the wrong classroom? This..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the teacher who came in. The sound of the teacher slapping the podium scared everyone into sitting quietly.
"Be quiet, don't look around or whisper, and do your own thing. Come, pass your test paper to the back. If you're found cheating, you'll be disqualified. Please call your parents."
The test paper is passed from the first person in the front row to the back row one by one.
The boy who had just spoken to Xiao Youchen said quickly while handing him the test paper, "This is a sixth-grade test paper. Tell the teacher you've gone the wrong way."
Xiao Youchen responded with a smile, "Thank you, this is the test I want to take."
Xiao Youchen's words made the boy very confused. He was still thinking about this matter during the exam and couldn't wait for the exam to end so that he could get to the bottom of it.
