Chen Xingling initially regarded his son's "crazy ideas" as just a child's mischief and did not take it seriously.
Unexpectedly, when he returned home, he saw his son and Gu Xuan sitting in the yard reciting a text, and the text was the famous "The Pavilion of the Drunken Old Man". Chen Xingling unconsciously realized that Xiaohu seemed to be studying with Gu Xuan all the time recently, and he secretly felt something was wrong.
"Huzi, don't bother your aunt." Chen Xingling shouted, "Drink some warm water and go play later."
Gu Yinmo shook his head and replied with a smile: "No, I want to study. My aunt said that these are the ancient Chinese texts and poems that must be tested in the college entrance examination. I plan to memorize them in the next few days."
Chen Xingling asked suspiciously, "Your aunt is taking the college entrance examination, and you are taking a junior exam, so don't confuse them. You just need to memorize some commonly used ancient poems, the kind that are easy to understand and concise."
Gu Yinmo shook his head: "I already know those. Dad helped me recite 300 ancient poems a while ago, and I can write and recite them all. I will now start with more difficult medium-length and long ancient texts, and try to finish memorizing them as soon as possible."
Chen Xingling looked at the two figures, one big and one small, snuggling under the bamboo. Feeling depressed, he turned around and ran to the study to find Gu Qi.
It was still early and Zhao Xiaoxing was already cooking in the kitchen. Gu Qi didn't need to help and was reading in the study.
"...What?" Gu Qi looked confused: "He went to Chongwen Middle School? He wants to transfer to another class?"
Chen Xingling knew that Gu Qi always spoke his mind, and if he was not unaware, then he really was unaware.
"Has he been to Mizukoshi Elementary School recently? You always take him there in the morning, right?"
Gu Qi shook his head: "Not for more than a week. Ah Xuan said she would pick him up on the way, so after breakfast, Ah Xuan would drive him out. In the afternoon, just like before, he would walk to the factory to find me. After get off work, I would drive him around, go to the riverside to play with river sand and draw, and recite ancient Chinese texts and poems."
Chen Xingling smiled bitterly: "So, he didn't go to class at all - no, to be precise, he didn't go to Shuiyue Primary School, but sneaked away to Chongwen Middle School to attend class."
"Why is he going to Ah Xuan's class?" Gu Qi asked, "Why is a four-year-old kid going there to join in the fun?"
Chen Xingling looked hopeless: "I heard that he went to Principal Li and begged to transfer to the senior science class. I don't know if he succeeded... and I, his mother, and you, his father, have been kept in the dark by him so far. We know nothing."
Gu Qi: “…”
After a while, Gu Qi led Chen Xingling out of the study, walked around the corridor, and walked down the steps to the yard.
"Yinmo, come here."
Little Hu was discussing a topic with Gu Xuan. When he heard his father calling him, he stuffed the big bowl in his hand to Gu Xuan and ran over happily.
"Dad! Mom!"
Gu Qi looked at the tiny creature who was currently only as tall as his thigh. His handsome face, which had been trying to keep a straight face, couldn't help but show a hint of helplessness, and he couldn't put on a cold expression.
"Yinmo, how have you been doing in school recently?"
The little tiger's eyes rolled around and he answered crisply, "Very good! The teacher always praises me!"
Chen Xingling asked with a smile: "When does the midterm exam start? It looks like it's almost time, right?"
"...I don't know." Little Tiger answered without thinking: "It should be soon."
Gu Qi said calmly: "Isn't the midterm exam next week? What? You don't know yet? Didn't the teacher tell you?"
Little Tiger stared in surprise, his chubby little face full of avoidance.
No one knows a son better than his father or mother. Gu Qi and Chen Xingling could tell at once whether their son was lying or not.
Gu Qi said in a deep voice: "Gu Yinmo, did you miss class? Hmm? Tell the truth!"
His mother usually calls him "Little Tiger", but his father is different.
When they were having fun playing, his father would call him by his nickname more often. Usually, his father would always call him by his name seriously, and it was very rare that he would call him by his given name and surname.
Once dad calls me by my full name, there is only one thing that can happen - dad is angry!
Little Tiger was startled and quickly lowered his head, then ran away.
Then, he went to find the person he thought was his "savior" - Gu Xuan.
Gu Xuan timidly looked at his elder brother, then at Chen Xingling, and realized that the truth had been revealed, so he had no choice but to confess everything honestly.
Since the beginning of the year, Xiao Huzi has been promoted to a transfer student in the sixth grade. Although he is surrounded by older brothers and sisters who are 14 or 15 years old, his achievements have impressed all the older brothers and sisters, who admire him, but soon they all feel helpless and say that they can't catch up.
Little Huzi has almost a photographic memory and can recite every word, phrase, idiom, ancient poem and prose he has seen.
Not only that, he is very good at mathematics and can easily grasp the mathematics of junior high school and high school.
"He borrowed junior high school textbooks from someone and studied on his own. He learned them all. Later, he borrowed high school textbooks from Sanyue Sifang and others and studied them all. His math level is much higher than mine. He taught me all the questions I couldn't solve. He is only lagging behind in geography and politics, but he has mastered everything else. He said... since he was going to skip a grade, he might as well go straight to college. So, I took him to class with me."
Chen Xingling didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and asked, "Didn't the teacher kick him out?"
Gu Xuan hesitated: "He... he is still young, I said he is my nephew. The teacher saw that he was not noisy and could write with a pen, so he ignored him. Besides, we sat at the last table and would not disturb others."
Gu Qi has a special way of communicating with his son, and he directly asks him about any doubts in his mind.
"Yinmo, why do you want to transfer to a high school? You are only four years old now, there is no rush to go to college."
Little Tiger pouted: "But I want to go to college~~"
Chen Xingling said: "If you want to go to college, you can wait until you grow up. You are only four years old now - there is no need to rush!"
Little Tiger shook his head: "I don't like going to school every day...it's boring!"
Forehead?
Chen Xingling and Gu Qi were amused by him and asked, "If you don't like going to school, then why do you go to high school to attend classes? If you don't want to learn, then don't go. Otherwise, you should go back to the kindergarten in the factory. Play with other children every day, sing songs, and draw pictures. Go to the cafeteria with your dad at noon, and your dad will pick you up in the evening after get off work. It's the same as going to school now, isn't it?"
Little Tiger was not happy about it and explained, "But you all said that you have to study when you grow up. After kindergarten, you go to elementary school, after elementary school, you go to junior high school, and then to high school. After high school, you have to take the college entrance examination, and after the college entrance examination, you have to go to college. Since you have to study all the time when you grow up, why don't I just finish it all at once? In that case, I don't have to go to school every day, I'll finish it anyway."
Chen Xingling: “…”
Gu Qi: “…”
"You can't say that." Gu Qi persuaded: "There is no end to learning, and there are always people better than you. There is no end to knowledge and books. We should have the determination to learn all the time, enrich our lives, and constantly enrich our insights and knowledge reserves. Yinmo, you shouldn't regard reading as a task that must be completed. The joy of reading and learning knowledge is endless. You should discover this joy and enjoy the process of reading and learning."
"Ah!" Little Tiger held up his chubby cheeks and sighed like a little adult: "When I read and study by myself, I am still very happy and joyful. But the teacher teaches too slowly. In one class, he only talks about one or two examples. I already knew them. It makes me bored and want to sleep. It's not that I don't like reading, I just don't like going to school."
It's like this!
Chen Xingling continued to recommend: "It's okay if you don't like going to class, just go back to kindergarten. Play hide-and-seek with your brothers and sisters, play handkerchief dropping, and play eagle and chick - how happy it is! By the way, sister Shanshan is still studying in the factory kindergarten! If you go back now, you can still be in the same class with her."
Children, should play happily, be carefree and happy. The first step in life should be a happy childhood.
Regardless of whether her son is smart or not, or how high his IQ is, she hopes that he will be a healthy baby, play, eat, sleep, and go to kindergarten with other children of the same age, rather than being a so-called "little prodigy" who "stands out" among a group of adults.
Little Tiger pouted and shook his head: "No, they don't understand what I play. I think the things they like to play are childish and boring. I want to finish reading all the books quickly, and then do what I like."
Chen Xingling waved his hand and said, "Don't study anymore. Wait until you are seven years old before going to school. Do whatever you like now. Just be safe and don't get in any danger."
"Really?!" Little Tiger suddenly became excited: "Mom, I want to study nuclear submarines!"
Chen Xingling: “…………”
