At the end of the year and the beginning of the year, the Zeng family was busy, and even when they went to pay New Year's greetings to several elders, they were all done by Zeng Wei's two sisters, and their parents were really busy.

Zeng Wei is actually not very enthusiastic about this matter, but as a tradition, it cannot be exempted.

However, the second sister Zeng Tong was very happy about this matter, because when she went to visit the New Year, she not only had good things to eat, but also red envelopes and gifts, which was so much to her heart.

After the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the New Year's greetings finally came to an end, and Zeng Wei also returned to school, while Zeng Wei and the second sister Zeng Tong were doing winter vacation homework at home with a bitter face.

However, the reasons why the two are bitter are not the same. Zeng Wei wanted to go out to play and was reluctant to do her homework and had a bitter face, while Zeng Wei felt that these third-grade exercises were too simple and it was a waste of time to do them.

"I have to think of a way to get rid of such a low-IQ job ......," Zeng Wei thought to himself, as he spun the pen around his fingers a few times.

………………

When night fell, the family sat down at the dining table and was ready to eat, Zeng Wei coughed dryly, and after attracting everyone's attention, he said seriously: "Everyone, I have a very important thing to announce to you." ”

There are a lot of people at the table today, not only Zeng Wei's family, but even the second uncle's family. Recently, the construction of the pig farm is in full swing, and it is in the slack season, and the second uncle and second aunt have also come to help.

During this time, everyone can be regarded as having seen Zeng Wei's methods, and even most of the ideas in the family are taken by Zeng Wei.

Seeing him so serious, everyone stopped to get the dishes and chopsticks, and looked at him without speaking, wanting to see what he had in mind.

Zeng Wei smiled and said, "That's the case, I decided that I will skip a grade after school starts!"

Everyone was stunned, and then they were all happy, and they began to act, some people distributed chopsticks, some people took bowls to scoop rice, and the table was very happy to talk and laugh.

Zeng Wei was a little unhappy when he saw that everyone didn't pay attention to their decisions, patted the table, and said, "Don't laugh, everyone, I'm serious!"

Everyone still didn't care, and continued to do their own thing.

Zeng Wei was very depressed and said loudly: "I want to skip a grade! I want to skip a grade! I want to skip a grade!"

Yan Chengxiu glared at Zeng Wei dissatisfied, and said, "What are you doing so loudly!"

The others also looked at Zeng Wei in confusion, not knowing what this little guy was crazy about.

Zeng Wei snorted: "Say important things three times!"

Everyone was sweating profusely, but they felt that what this kid said was so reasonable, and important things should not be emphasized?

………………

On February 7, 1993, the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Sunday, it is appropriate to go to school, study arts, and travel.

Qili Township Central School also ushered in a new semester on this day.

In the principal's office, Zhuo Zhongfu, the principal of Qili Township Central School, frowned.

Judging from the feedback just received from the homeroom teachers of each grade, there is a big problem with the collection of book fees this semester. The reason for this is that Zhuo Zhongfu knows that at the end of last year, the price of meat and pigs fell sharply, resulting in a sharp decrease in the income of most student families.

Since serving as the principal of Qili Township Central School, such a problem has been encountered by Zhuo Zhongfu at the beginning of every semester, but this year is especially serious. Zhuo Zhongfu knew that the school might have a lot of students who would have to face the situation of dropping out.

In this regard, Zhuo Zhongfu was very helpless. It's not that he doesn't want to help these children, it's that there's nothing he can do.

But Zhuo Zhongfu's most heartache is that there are several children in the sixth and third grades who are excellent in character and learning, and I am afraid that they will drop out of school because of this crisis.

This will greatly affect the school's admission rate and teaching quality, and it will undoubtedly be a heavy blow to the school.

Zhuo Zhongfu really wanted to find a way to save the children's studies, but after thinking about it, he couldn't do it.

Although he holds the position of principal of Qili Township Central School, his salary is not high, only in his early 100s, but he still has to support a family of six, especially two children, one in high school and the other in junior high school.

It can be said that he himself said that the mud bodhisattva crossed the river.

………………

"Tuk Tuk Tuk ......" Just when Zhuo Zhong was at a loss, there were a few soft knocks on the door.

"Which head teacher should be complaining again......" Zhuo Zhongfu thought secretly, but he still tried his best to suppress the boredom in his heart, and said in a calm tone: "Please come in!"

However, when the office door opened, Zhuo Zhongfu didn't notice anyone coming in. When Zhuo Zhong was puzzled, a voice sounded in the room: "Principal Zhuo, let's talk to you about something." ”

Who's talking? It can't be haunted, right?

Although Zhuo Zhongfu is a party member, in this era that is not very open, and it is a mountainous place, it is naturally influenced by some feudal superstitions, and he suddenly felt a chill in the back of his head, and said a little nervously: "Who? Who is talking?"

A small head popped out from the front of the desk, and the voice sounded again: "Principal Zhuo, it's me." ”

Seeing that little head, Zhuo Zhongfu breathed a sigh of relief, he knew this child, he was the first in the third grade, called Zeng Wei. Four years ago, when he first came to Qili Township Central School, his eldest sister Zeng Jiao was his first batch of students, and her grades were very good. In addition, his second sister Zeng Tong seems to be in the fifth grade of the school.

Although Zhuo Zhongfu couldn't know every student in the school, he still had a deep impression of the top students in each grade, so he recognized Zeng Wei at once.

He showed a kind smile and said to Zeng Wei: "It's Zeng Wei, you came to me, is there something wrong? Is there a problem with the tuition fee?"

Zhuo Zhongfu remembered that Zeng Wei's family's economic situation was not good, his parents were farmers, there were three children in the family, and one was in his third year of high school.

Zhuo Zhongfu's mood was a little heavy.

He remembers that this child's grades last semester were very good, with full marks in Chinese, mathematics, thinking and nature in the test papers, and the teachers also responded very well to him in sports, art and music.

Such a child with excellent character and learning, waiting until the junior high school exam three years later, it is not surprising that there is hope to compete for the first place in the county. It would be a huge loss to drop out of school because of financial problems.

So, if he pleads with him to reduce some tuition fees, should he agree?

………………

Zeng Wei didn't know what Zhuo Zhongfu was entangled in his heart at the moment, he shook his head with a smile and said, "No, Principal Zhuo, my tuition has already been paid, and I came to you for something else." ”

Hearing Zeng Wei's words, Zhuo Zhongfu was a little relieved, he finally didn't have to worry about such an excellent child dropping out of school.

Zhuo Zhongfu, who was in a good mood, asked curiously: "Then tell me, what is the matter? You actually asked you to come to me, the principal, in person?"

Generally speaking, the most feared thing for children in school is the principal, and if it is not necessary, no child wants to drill into the principal's office, not even those who are excellent in character and learning.

However, what Zeng Wei said made Zhuo Zhongfu a little uneasy.

"Principal Zhuo, I'm going to skip a grade!"

"What?" Zhuo Zhongfu almost jumped up from behind his desk, there was no way, the amount of news contained in this sentence caught him a little off guard.

In recent years, it is not uncommon to skip grades, after all, every year there are hundreds of talented teenagers across the country, who attend the juvenile classes of those famous schools in the country at the age of twelve or thirteen or fourteen or fifteen or fifteen years old, and Zhuo Zhongfu has seen a lot of such things in the newspaper.

However, the word "skipping grades" was really the first time that it came to his ears in person, not to mention that it was a third-grade child who said it.

Qili Township Central School is a poor school in a poor mountainous area, and the teaching quality is not good, which is restricted by the quality of teachers and more by the students themselves.

As the saying goes, the children of the poor are in charge of the family early, and another meaning in this is that the children of poor families have to take on the work of the family as early as possible, so that the experience of studying will naturally be less, and the academic performance will naturally be greatly affected.

Therefore, Zhuo Zhongfu has heard of the word "repeating grades", and at the beginning of each semester, there are many children who have to choose to repeat grades because they can't keep up with their studies.

But the conscience of heaven and earth, the word "skipping", he really hadn't heard of it before.

Zhuo Zhongfu's next reaction was to object, he said angrily: "Zeng Wei, do you know what you're talking about?"

Zhuo Zhongfu has great expectations for Zeng Wei, if he can win the first place in the county in the junior high school examination three years later, it will be of great significance to the school, and maybe the county education commission's attention to the central school of Qili Township will be improved. The increased attention of the county education commission means that schools can receive more education funding and more policy support.

But now this kid actually said he was going to skip a grade?

It is true that this child's grades are good, and even since he started school, his grades have been very good in the past three years, but this does not mean that he has intelligence far beyond his peers.

What's more, this child was originally enrolled two years earlier than ordinary children, and it is very rare to have the current results.

Therefore, he had to persuade him to dispel his thoughts no matter what.

Zeng Wei said seriously: "I know, of course I know, skipping a grade is to go to class with my brothers and sisters in the sixth grade." ”

As soon as the phrase "taking classes with my sixth-grade brothers and sisters" entered Zhuo Zhongfu's ears, it was like a bolt from the blue.

Nima, this kid wants to jump three levels in a row?!

Jump three times in a row?

Jump three levels in a row!
