Chapter 1 A Little Catfish Came to Yudong Elementary School



In a parallel universe, September 2, 1984, at the gate of Yudong No. 2 Primary School in Ba County, Chongqing.

A large JEEP off-road vehicle slowly stopped at the corner of the road.

Today is Xiao Zhen's first day as an elementary school student, so no matter what Xiao Zhen says, his father has to drive him to school.

When Xiao's father came, Xiao's mother followed him, and his aunt also came. The whole family came to send the little brat Xiao Zhen to school.

Not only that, the main thing is that Xiao Zhen wants to skip a grade. He contacted us beforehand and handed over a thick stack of published articles.

This is the "hard currency" for skipping grades. As soon as you walk into the school gate, you will see some people jumping rope, some doing hopscotch, and some doing bull-heading and rolling hoops.

A very vivid picture of the 1980s slowly unfolded before Xiao Zhen.

Xiao Zhen, who was about to attend Yudong No. 2 Primary School, looked at the iron words when he just entered the school gate.

He felt very proud and thought that no matter how bad Xiao Zhen was, he would at least become a famous alumnus of Yudong No. 2 Primary School.

This kind of idea was definitely not what Xiao Zhen, a young courier with firm revolutionary beliefs, thought, but such a whimsical idea popped up in Xiao Zhen's mind.

The first benefit after full integration was that Xiao Zhen felt that his cerebral cortex was abnormally active. This might be the result of 1+1+1>3.

Basically, he can memorize a book completely after reading it once, and he can understand its meaning very thoroughly after reading it carefully again.

This resulted in Xiao Zhen being a primary school student with "mature" thoughts but also lively and interesting soul.

The Yudong No. 2 Primary School where Xiao Zhen studied was considered the best primary school in Ba County and it became a key primary school in 1955.

Decades later, when the new century version of Xiao Town came into being, how many parents bought houses, changed jobs, and rented houses to accompany their children to attend this primary school!

Xiao Zhen couldn't imagine, it's just a primary school, what's the big deal?

Of course, there will be a lot of children in the future. The population will be large with a large base, and there will be serious internal competition in everything we do.

Xiao Zhen also hoped that his father could do better. However, he didn't know if he could catch up to Thatcher's fall this year.

Xiao Zhen was walking in front, held by his mother and aunt respectively, while his father walked behind and watched the boys and girls playing and fighting on the campus, which was very lively.

Arriving at the principal's office door, he knocked and said, "Come in!"

"Hello, Principal Wei. I am Xiao Zhengtang, the parent of Xiao Zhen, who previously submitted an application for his child to skip a grade. Xiao Zhen came over to say hello to Principal Wei." Xiao Zhengtang said as he let Xiao Zhen, who was carrying a Japanese-style schoolbag, in.

"So this is the little prodigy Xiao Zhen who has published so many articles. Publishing articles can't be a condition for skipping grades, you have to pass the exams." Principal Wei said to the little kid Xiao Zhen with a smile.

"Principal, I know everything. I'm ready. Please feel free to ask questions!" Xiao Zhen said generously.

"Well, that's good that you are confident. Comrade Xiao Zhengtang, then let's not waste time and go to the teacher's office to start. Can I have a child? Do you need to go to the toilet?" Principal Wei asked kindly.

"No need to go to the bathroom, so first and second graders don't have to take the test. Let's start from third grade, okay?" Xiao Zhen asked.

"Okay, let's go." Principal Wei said and led the group to the teacher's office.

They must have prepared in advance, so they found an empty office as the examination room and started with the third grade exam paper.

Xiao Zhen finished a test paper in an average of half an hour, which required a little more time to write the composition.

As soon as I finished one paper, a teacher would cross-check it and give the score on the spot. All the math scores were 100, except for the Chinese composition, which was deducted a little.

After more than three hours, the teachers were numb. Xiao Zhen shook his slightly sore hands. After finishing writing, he still had to act a little tired. It was really difficult for the little boy.

"Mom, I'm thirsty. Can you pour me some water?" Xiao Zhen said cutely.

"Here I am, here's the kettle for you!" Wen Yunshu came over with a thermos cup, opened it and poured a glass of water.

Xiao Zhen took the lid of the kettle and drank it in one gulp. After drinking, he wiped his mouth with a handkerchief.

He stood quietly beside his mother. Principal Wei reviewed all the test papers and nodded.

He said to Xiao Zhengtang, "It's a pity that your town is too small. Otherwise, he could have gone straight to take the graduation exam next year. Since the child is still young, it's better to let him stay in elementary school for a year or two. Xiao Zhen, what grade do you want to go to?"

"Principal, can I go to the fourth grade?" Xiao Zhen asked with his big eyes blinking.

"Principal Wang, what are the opinions of Director Lin and Director Hu?" Principal Wei asked the school's leadership team.

"No problem, let Xiao Zhenxiao study in the fourth grade. By the way, which class will accept him?" Principal Wang asked.

So the usually quiet teacher's office became as lively as a market. After all, as a teacher, who doesn't want a gifted child?

"Okay, let's draw lots. It's fair and reasonable. Let me give you a heads-up first: you must protect Xiao Zhen and don't let the older kids bully him." Director Lin said,

He is the Dean of Academic Affairs, another Director Hu is the Director of Moral Education and Discipline, and Principal Wang is the Executive Vice Principal.

There are eight classes in the fourth grade, and the lucky one is Class 6 led by young teacher Wang who won the first place.

Class 6 of Grade 4 is just average in Yudong No. 2 Primary School, but not too bad.

The main reason is that Teacher Xiao Wang’s teaching method is relatively innovative and he does not physically punish or beat children, which is very rare.

During this period, corporal punishment such as slapping the hands was a very common phenomenon. It was only after society developed that things got better.
