5. Skip a grade
Xu Ruo carried his schoolbag and returned home with a calm expression, just when he saw his mother putting the prepared dishes on the plate, Xu Ruo walked in quickly, and put the plate on the dining table.
Later, Xu Meiren asked suspiciously: "Xiaoruo, why did you come back a little late today." ”
Xu Ruo replied while putting down his schoolbag and untying his red tie: "Well, I was in the office today and told the teacher that I was going to skip a grade, and then it was too late." ”
"What?"
Xu Meiren was also shocked, she hurriedly extinguished the fire in the stove, and hurriedly impulsively Xu Ruo's tone in front of her was not lacking in anxiety and worry: "What are you doing, how can you tell the teacher to skip a grade in a good manner!"
Xu Ruo smiled, took her mother's hand, and sat on the stool together, she looked at her mother's worried eyes, like a parent whose daughter was in trouble. She said to her mother soothingly: "Mom, don't worry, I came back so late in the afternoon, just because the teacher was testing my topic, and the teacher thought I was very good, and said that I would discuss with the principal about my skipping a grade, and your daughter and I are not bragging, as long as I read the book once, I will not forget, so I told the teacher to skip a grade." ”
Xu Meiren didn't know what to say, she was surprised, happy and worried, she looked at her daughter: "Seriously, just read the book once?"
"Hmm. Xu Ruo nodded affirmatively, and fell coquettishly into her mother's arms: "Mom, isn't your daughter particularly powerful, Mom, you wait." ”
Xu Ruo suddenly thought of something, stood up again, ran to an old newspaper, glanced at it, and handed it to his mother: "Mom, you take it and read it, and I'll recite it to you." ”
Xu Meiren realized her daughter's intention to do this, she subconsciously sat up straight, looked at the newspaper carefully, she listened to her daughter memorize word by word, some words she didn't even know herself, but the daughter she knew all memorized! Really, this is true! Her daughter is a genius!
Xu Meiren was so excited that she even forgot to eat, pulled her daughter, and asked and answered.
By the time the questions were all asked and Xu Meiren was satisfied, the food had already warmed up, but fortunately it was hot now, and the food was cold and slow.
Xu Meiren smiled embarrassedly and put down the newspaper: "Look at me, I forget everything when I am happy, eat first, and I'll go get the dishes and chopsticks." ”
"Good. Xu Ruo looked at her mother's back and thought to herself, she should have given her enough confidence tonight, and hoped that she wouldn't be too unbearable after she knew that I was going to skip the sixth grade.
Another day passed.
When Xu Ruo was in math class, the Chinese teacher walked into the classroom and whispered a few words to the math teacher, and the math teacher nodded.
Chinese teacher: "Xu Ruo, come out." ”
Xu Ruo calmly looked at the eyes of all the students in the class, walked out of the classroom, and followed behind the Chinese teacher.
Door to the principal's office.
The door was open, and Xu Ruo saw the principal sitting inside, and the principal also saw them, and smiled kindly: "Come in." ”
After Xu Ruo entered, he said, "Hello principal." ”
The principal nodded in response, motioned for them to sit down, and then said straight to the point: "Your name is Xu Ruo, right, you're only 8 years old this year?"
Xu Ruo nodded: "Yes." ”
The principal lit a cigarette, smoked it, and slowly spit it out: "I have a few test papers here, you can do it first." The headmaster gestured to the table.
"Good. Xu Ruo walked over, the pen and the test papers were on the table, Xu Ruo didn't talk nonsense, sat down directly, looked at the test papers, and the test papers from the third grade to the sixth grade were available.
Xu Ruo picked up the pen and began to answer the questions, she was very fast, first finished all the math papers, put them aside, and then continued to do Chinese. She noticed that the math papers that had been put aside were taken by the Chinese teacher for correction.
By the time Xu Ruo had completed all the Chinese test papers, only an hour and a half had passed, and she had not written the essay.
The principal was looking at Xu Ruo's math test papers, all of which were full marks! He put down the papers, suppressed the surprise in his heart, and said to Xu Ruo: "Children, bring me the Chinese test papers you have done." ”
Xu Ruo packed up the roll and put it in front of the principal. The principal picked up the Chinese test paper and began to read it.
Xu Ruo noticed that the principal read most of the ancient poems and typos and multiple-choice questions.
The principal put down the test papers, and had to admit that there was a genius in Qinghuan Village, and he said to Xu Ruo: "You can skip a grade, let your mother come to the school in the afternoon to go through the formalities, and transfer to the sixth grade tomorrow." ”
Xu Ruo smiled brightly: "Thank you, principal, thank you, teacher." ”
……
The Chinese teacher took Xu Ruo out of the principal's office again, and she said to Xu Ruo: "Xu Ruo, the teacher knows that you are very smart, but you can't be proud, and don't relax in your studies, you know?"
Xu Ruo nodded: "Teacher, I know, I will always work hard." ”
The Chinese teacher touched Xu Ruo's head, in her short teaching history, Xu Ruo was the most talented student she had ever seen, and she was afraid that Xu Ruo would become a wounded Zhongyong.
"It's almost noon, you can go home and come back with your mother in the afternoon." ”
"Well, okay, goodbye, teacher. ”
Xu Ruo thought that skipping a grade was really much smoother than she imagined, and when she thought that she could jump to the sixth grade tomorrow, Xu Ruo was so excited that she didn't want it, and she ran home all the way.
"Mom, Mom, come with me to school in the afternoon. ”
When Xu Ruo got home, Xu Meiren was watching TV.
Xu Meiren looked at her daughter: "Why are you running so fast, why are you going to school in the afternoon." ”
Xu Ruo took a breath: "The principal agreed that I skipped a grade, and asked you to go over in the afternoon to go through the formalities, Mom, I'm going to be in the sixth grade!" Xu Ruo threw a bomb.
Xu Meiren almost jumped up: "Sixth grade, I heard you right!"
"That's right, it's like a fake. Xu Ruo smiled: "Mom, didn't I say it yesterday, your daughter is very powerful." ”
"Hey, my daughter is amazing. Xu Meiren was happy, and gently pinched her daughter's face with both hands and dragged it: "You are really good." ”
Xu Meiren looked at the time: "You watch TV for a while, and my mother will cook you something delicious." ”
"Good. Xu Ruo responded loudly.
At noon, Xu Meiren's best hand-rolled noodles were also unusually rich, with two eggs alone, and a lot of shredded meat in the noodles, Xu Ruo salivated just by smelling it, and ate two small bowls until his stomach was round.
Xu Meiren said: "Go take a nap, and your mother will wake you up when the time comes." ”
Xu Ruo licked the corners of his mouth, feeling a little depraved, and slept when he was full, wouldn't he become a pig. However, if you eat too much at noon, you will indeed be a little sleepy, and if you fall, you will fall! Then, I lay down on the bed and closed my eyes, and after a while I fell asleep.
In a daze, Xu Ruo heard someone calling her, and pinched her nose, the sleepy insect was driven away, Xu Ruo opened her eyes and saw her mother's smiling eyes.
The mother and daughter washed their faces, walked to the school together, and found Xu Ruo's homeroom teacher.
The Chinese teacher said, "Xu Ruo, then you go back to the classroom first, and I'll take your mother to go through the formalities." ”
Xu Ruo nodded, and was about to go back to the classroom. The Chinese teacher also called Xu Meiren on the way to the principal's office.
The three classes this afternoon are ideological education and art classes, and the last one is self-study.
Xu Ruo is a little bored with the thoughts and morals that he has memorized a long time ago.
At this time, her tablemate Ge Youyou quietly came over and asked, "What did the teacher tell you to go out for today?"
"You'll find out tomorrow. Xu Ruo replied.
Ge Youyou pouted, not satisfied with this answer, but she had a similar relationship with Xu Ruo, and she couldn't pull her face to ask again.
Xu Ruo doesn't care what others think, what she is thinking about now is, how will she go to the sixth grade tomorrow? There will be a teacher to pick her up, right? Probably?
After school, Xu Ruo packed all the books into her school bag, fortunately, there were not many books in the fourth grade, and she planned to take them all home, anyway, she would go to the sixth grade tomorrow.
