480 Chen Chen's New Deskmate

Little Fu Haochen is the first student in his family to go to school.

Children like Chen Chen don’t need to eat any of the fried dough sticks with double eggs or the perfect score.

Because he doesn't need this form at all and he still got the first place in the exam, so he can eat whatever he wants and whatever is delicious.

Little Chenchen was so spoiled by the special delicacies in his father's workplace canteen yesterday that he insisted on having a full breakfast at home before going to school today.

Little boy Chenchen drank the last mouthful of soup in the bowl and touched his belly with satisfaction. He announced that the pancakes baked by his grandma and the egg noodles made by his mom were the most delicious breakfast in the world!

"Drink the milk and then go to school." In order to ensure that the child has sufficient calcium, Su Taotao makes sure the child drinks enough milk or soy milk every day.

Chen Chen picked up the cup and drank it all, then licked his lips:

"Mom, it's too cold. I can go to school by myself. You don't have to go."

Chen Chen is already eight years old, and is taller than most children of his age. No one would question him if he said he was ten years old.

However, Su Taotao still worried about him going to and from school alone:

"No, this is not the base. You can go to and from school by yourself after you are ten years old. Mom and uncle also want to go to the store to take a look.

Grandma won’t go, we’ll take you there.”

Zhou Linglan: "Why don't I go too? I don't have much to do at home anyway, maybe I can help out at the store."

Su Taotao thought for a moment and said, "That's fine, we can eat lunch in the store so we don't have to cook at home.

In the future, Ehang will pick up Chenchen and take him to the restaurant for dinner, or we can come back to eat together.

Anyway, Chenchen cannot go out alone. You have to wait for an adult at home to pick you up. Do you understand?"

Su Taotao pinched the child's cheeks.

Chen Chen rubbed his cheeks and said, "But little uncle is not an adult either."

"My little uncle is almost as tall as your father. If you grow up to be that tall, mom will think you are an adult."

Chen Chen looked down at his short legs and sighed silently.

"Mom, can you take Baibai to the store? It's so pitiful to leave it alone at home!" Chenchen touched his little friend's head and didn't want to be separated from it at all.

Su Taotao shook her head and said, "Not yet. Baibai is too big. Taking him on the bus would scare others. When the weather gets warmer and we can ride bikes to school, we can bring Baibai back to the store."

"Well then," Chenchen stroked the white dog's head, "then you will be in charge of guarding the house. If a stranger wants to enter our house, remember to shoo him away."

Baibai: “Woof woof woof woof…”

Although home is not far from school, it is quite troublesome to take the bus. Su Taotao thought, it would be great if she could buy a car for the family.

But it's just a thought. This idea can only be realized in the 1980s.

The whole family walked to the door and suddenly heard two beeps.

Xiao Zhang jumped out of the car and said, "Chenchen, my husband asked me to drive you to school."

Chenchen blinked and looked at his mother. Doesn't that mean Baibai can go to school together?

Su Taotao shook her head: "No need, Xiao Zhang, thank Grandpa Hu for us, we will also calculate the time needed to go to and from school, go and do your own thing."

Chen Chen himself is already conspicuous enough, and if he continues to parade around like this, he will inevitably appear even more out of place.

What Mr. Hu meant was to follow Su Taotao's arrangements.

Since Su Taotao doesn't need a car, Xiao Zhang doesn't force her:

"Sister Su, I went to the store yesterday to inspect it. There weren't many changes. It's basically finished, except for some decorations. Some things still need to wait. Check and see if there's anything else you need. Come back and tell me."

Su Taotao nodded: "Okay, thank you for your hard work, Xiao Zhang."

…

It takes a little over half an hour to get from home to school, including the time walking to the bus stop and waiting for the bus.

The bus stops on both sides are very close, and it only takes a few minutes to walk. There are not many cars on the road these days, and there is no traffic jam. If the waiting time does not exceed ten minutes, you can reach school within half an hour.

Chenchen still carried the small schoolbag with white patterns made by his grandmother, waved goodbye to his family happily, and walked towards the sixth grade classroom.

Su Taotao no longer needed to be told too much, she just said: "Wait for us to pick you up after school, you can't leave without permission."

Chenchen didn't even look back, and ran to the classroom: "Mom, I know!"

A boy about eleven or twelve years old, slightly taller than Chenchen, walked over and bumped into Chenchen at the door. He thought he had gone to the wrong place, but then he went back to look at the classroom number and found that he was not wrong.

I reminded Chenchen, "Classmate, did you go to the wrong classroom? This is Grade 6 (1) Class."

Chen Chen shook his head: "No, I skipped a grade and I am in the sixth grade this year."

The classmate was shocked and said, "I also skipped a grade. I started school early. I am eleven years old this year, but I think you are at most ten years old? Did you skip two grades?"

Dust is silent.

He didn't want to lie, but he also wanted to appear more sociable and live a normal life as an elementary school student.

This was the first time he met a classmate who had skipped a grade. What would he do if the classmate didn’t want to play with him if he told him that he was only eight years old?

In Chenchen's mind, two little black and white men were fighting each other and their minds were twisted:

The black villain said, "Chenchen, you can lie to him and say that you are ten years old this year and have skipped two grades. Anyway, you are tall and don't look like eight years old. At most, people will think you are ten years younger, which is not a big deal."

The little white man said, "Chenchen, you are a good kid with excellent behavior. How could you lie to your classmates? You didn't even go to elementary school for one year. You skipped to the sixth grade. How could you lie to others?"

Black villain: "That's called a white lie. It doesn't hurt anyone. What's wrong with hiding it?"

Little White Man: "A white lie is still a lie. Daddy Chenchen and Mommy Chenchen would never teach Chenchen to lie. Go away, you bad guy!"

Black villain: "You are so stupid and don't know how to adapt at all. Daddy Dust and Mommy Dust will definitely not let Dust play with someone as stupid as you."

White villain: "I am upright, not stupid!"

Black villain: "It's just stupid!"

White villain: "That's integrity!"

…

"Ah..." Chenchen held his little head and sighed.

"Hey, Chenchen, why are you up so early? What are you doing?"

The old principal appeared in time, the black and white men disappeared, and the little Dust boy returned to normal.

"Good morning, Principal. I was wondering where I should sit."

The old principal took Chenchen's hand and said cheerfully, "Just sit in the first row. You won't be able to see the blackboard if you sit in the back."

Chen Chen blinked, but I couldn't be distracted since I was sitting in the first row. It was okay for me not to look at the blackboard.

"Shiki is here too? That's perfect," the old principal took the boy's hand, "You two are the youngest students in the class, and both of you skipped a grade. It's perfect for you to sit at the same table in the first row."

Chen Zigui tacitly assumed that Chen Chen was a smart classmate who had skipped two grades, and couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

These days most children start first grade at seven, and it is normal for them to start sixth grade at thirteen.

Chen Zigui started school at the age of six. Born in late December, he had always been the youngest child in the class. In addition, he skipped a grade, so he thought there would be no classmates younger than him in the sixth grade.

He didn't expect to meet Chen Chen when he reported to the sixth grade, but he was still very happy.

The old principal settled his two favorite children and gave them a few more instructions before leaving the classroom.

"Hello, my name is Chen Zigui." Chen Zigui took the initiative to greet.

Chenchen tilted his head and said, "I hear the cuckoo singing in the deep mountains again? Is it the cuckoo?" (Note: from Li Bai's "The Road to Shu is Difficult")

Why use this name?

Chen Zigui's eyes lit up: "You know?"

Chen Chen nodded and said modestly: "I only know this little bit, but I also know 'The poplar flowers have all fallen and the cuckoo is crying, I heard that the Dragon Flag has passed the Five Rivers', which is a very special name." (Note: From Li Bai's "I heard that Wang Changling moved to Longbiao from afar and sent this letter to him")

In fact, Chen Chen has a photographic memory and will never forget any poem or song he has read. When he grows up a little, he knows what they mean. This name carries a sense of melancholy.

Chen Zigui's eyes lit up even more, and he wished he could make Chen Chen his close friend:

"Chenchen, you are so smart, you are the first classmate who can accurately tell the origin of my name!

In fact, my parents had been trapped abroad for a long time and were only able to return to serve their motherland in the past two years. My name was given to them when they were trapped abroad.

"Chenchen, what is your full name?"

Chen Zigui was more intelligent than other children, but he had never met any classmates with whom he could speak the same language, let alone anyone who knew the origin of his name.

But he didn't expect that when he skipped to the sixth grade, he would meet Cong Ming Chen Chen, who was younger than him.

He felt that he was finally going to find like-minded friends!

Chen Chen: "Fu Haochen."

Chen Zigui's eyes lit up again:

"From Qu Yuan's "Chu Ci Yu Fu", "How can I, with my pure whiteness, be covered with the dust of the world?

Your parents want you to be a gentleman with high moral character and integrity, right?"

Fu Haochen, who felt that he had been implied, said: "..."

"Actually, there is something I want to confess to you first."

Chen Zigui liked this new friend very much. He thought whatever Chen Chen said was good, so he nodded and said, "It's okay, go ahead."

Chen Chen was still a little timid: "Actually, I am only eight years old this year, and I have never been to primary school seriously. Today is my first day to attend primary school."

After Chen Chen finished speaking, he patted the left side of his forehead and said, "Bai Xiaoren won. He is a gentleman with high moral character, uprightness, and only speaks the truth!"

Chen Zigui's expression gradually became distorted...
