41 Chapter 40, Skip a Grade

This was the first time Liu Qianqian had seen the principal with this kind of gaze. She jumped in fright and left dejectedly.

After she left, the principal looked at the other children, “For this lesson, all of you will study by yourselves first. Read your books by yourselves.”

...

After saying that, he looked at Ji Yuanyuan, “Yuanyuan, come, come out with me for a moment.”

Ji Yuanyuan had a good impression of the principal.

She followed the principal out of the classroom with her short legs.

Outside the classroom, the principal squatted down and raised her hand to gently stroke Ji Yuanyuan’s head.

“Teacher Liu was joking with you just now. You are actually very smart. They don’t know the English that teacher Liu wrote on the blackboard just now. Only you can read it.” The principal’s gaze was gentle, her tone was especially gentle and healing.

“And the way you speak, there is no problem. You have always been a good child who knows how to be polite.”

Ji Yuanyuan said sincerely, “Thank you, Principal.”

The principal smiled and nodded, “Alright, let’s go back to class.”

After seeing Ji Yuanyuan return to her seat, the principal strode toward her office.

Ji Yuanyuan naturally didn’t know what happened after that.

In the afternoon, Ji Yuanyuan was called to the principal’s office.

Ji Yuanyuan originally thought that it was because of Liu Qianqian’s matter, and her heart was still nervous.

In the end, as soon as he entered, the principal took out candy from the drawer and placed it in Ji Yuanyuan’s palm, “Student Ji Yuanyuan, how do you know how to read English on the blackboard yesterday?”

After all, it was a third-grade course. Ji Yuanyuan was only a first-grade primary school student and had transferred here halfway. She had not even attended kindergarten.

“I learned it from my older brother,” Ji Yuanyuan said innocently.

It was a well-known fact that she had two older brothers at home, so the principal did not doubt it. He only asked, “Then Principal will test you, okay?”

Ji Yuanyuan nodded.

The reason why she stood in the limelight in class yesterday was not only because she was angry at Liu Qianqian, but also because she had another thought. She wanted to skip a grade.

It was really too boring to attend class with a group of first-grade children.

Second-grade students should be a little more mature, right?

Moreover, if she skipped a grade this year, she would find an opportunity to skip another grade tomorrow. She might even be able to skip to the same class as Ji Zi’ang.

She could even help Ji Zi’ang with his homework. It was too embarrassing for him to always be last.

According to Ji Yuanyuan’s knowledge, Ji Zi’ang’s academic results in his previous life were not that good.

Because he got into an unrated university, later his fans would always laugh at him for being a brainless vase.

In this life, as her brother, even if Ji Zi’ang had to be a beautiful vase he had to be a vase with a brain.

The principal took out the language book and pointed at one of the poems, asking, “Do you know how to recite this poem?”

Ji Yuanyuan took a look and saw that the principal was holding a second-year language book.

She closed her eyes and recited, “When you live, you have to be a hero, and when you die, you too become a hero among ghosts. Until today longing for Xiangyu, refusing to cross Jiangdong.”

The principal was a little surprised. She found a few more difficult poems and Ji Yuanyuan recited them all.

Then, she found a piece of paper and wrote down a few math questions.

“Ji Yuanyuan, please do these questions.”

Ji Yuanyuan took a pen and wrote down all the answers with a few strokes.

Under the principal’s shocked gaze, Ji Yuanyuan was a little embarrassed. However, it was only addition and subtraction of less than 100. She could even calculate it with her knees.

The principal’s gaze was as if she had won a Nobel Prize. Did she have to be so exaggerated?

“Ji Yuanyuan, don’t be in a hurry to leave after school tonight. Principal will go home with you.”

Ji Yuanyuan smiled foolishly, “I understand, Principal.”

At night, Ji Yuanyuan waited at the door of the classroom after school. About ten minutes later, Ji Zixuan and Ji Zi’ang came over.

Each of them held one of Ji Yuanyuan’s hand and was about to take her home.

“We can’t, the principal asked me to wait for her. She wants to go home with us,” Ji Yuanyuan said with a crisp voice.

Ji Zi’ang frowned and was a little suspicious, “Why did the principal want to go home with us? Did you get into trouble?”

Ji Yuanyuan curled his lips helplessly, “Do you think I’m you?”

Just as she was speaking, the principal came over with a bag of fruits in her hands.

Ji Zixuan and Ji Zi’ang were still a little afraid of the principal, so the principal and Ji Yuanyuan were the only ones talking along the way.

“Yuanyuan, where is your mother working now? Is she busy with work?”

“My Mommy sells vegetables and fruits at the market. She’s not very busy but it was hard.”

“Where do you eat in the morning? Does your mom have to go out very early?”

“Mom will give the money. Brother will take me to buy food.”

..

Soon, they reached home.

Ji Zixuan opened the door, and a fragrant smell immediately came from inside.

Li Xu was cooking.

“Put down your bag and take your sister to wash her hands. The food will be ready soon…” Li Xu turned around and saw the principal standing at the door.

“Principal, why are you here?” Li Xu quickly turned off the gas and looked at Ji Zi’ang with a frown. “Did Zi’ang make a mistake again?”

Ji Zi’ang raised his head and sighed speechlessly, “Mom, can’t you think well of me? This time, the principal is here because of my sister. She must have made a mistake.”

Hearing this, Li Xu was shocked and subconsciously asked the principal, “Principal, did Yuanyuan get bullied?”

Li Xu’s reaction made the principal laugh.

When it was Ji Zi’ang, it was because he had caused trouble, but when it was Ji Yuanyuan, it was because she had been bullied.

“I’m really sorry for delaying your meal.” The principal placed the fruit on the ground, only then did she say, “Ji Zi’ang’s recent performance has been pretty good, and Ji Yuanyuan hasn’t been bullied either. I’m here to discuss something with you.”

Only then did Li Xu heave a sigh of relief. She looked at Ji Zixuan and Ji Zi’ang and said, “The two of you go and do your homework first. I’ll talk to your principal.”

The two brothers obediently entered the room. Li Xu went to pour water for the principal and asked nervously, “I don’t know why you’re here.”

The principal hurriedly took the water, “It’s like this. I only discovered today that Student Yuanyuan’s literacy level has far surpassed that of the first grade. She’s basically at the level of the first semester of the third grade now. What I mean is, why don’t we let her skip a grade next semester?”

Li Xu looked at Ji Yuanyuan with some surprise. When did her daughter learn this? Could it be in the space?

“It’s also true that some teachers have recalled that Yuanyuan was a little out of focus during class. It’s probably because she has already learned it and wasn’t willing to learn anymore. I think that if we let her skip a grade and let her learn something a little more difficult, perhaps she would be able to focus her attention.”

Li Xu hurriedly said, “I’ll listen to you. I don’t have any objections.”

When the principal heard this, she said, “Then that’s it. In the next semester, let her directly go to the second grade.”
