Chapter 6

But when Li Xiaohong asked Wang Cui to help, Wang Cui asked, "Help with what?"

"I want to skip a grade."

"Why do you want to skip a level?"

"I think I know all the content, and it's boring to learn it again."

From Li Xiaohong's behavior in the past, Wang Cui felt that the niece should not be treated simply as a child.

"Oh? Then what grade do you think is suitable for you?"

"Let's go to the third grade. I heard that there is composition in the third grade, so it's different from what you learn in the first and second grades. Besides, I'm going to a higher grade all of a sudden, and I'm afraid I won't be able to keep up with others."

"Okay, I'll find a way for you."

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

"You child, what are you doing so politely!"

Then Wang Cui went to find their principal, who was in the same village, and they couldn't see each other. Principal Wang simply gave a few third-grade word problems, which of course meant nothing to Li Xiaohong, and then let her upgrade.

It is worth mentioning that because Zhang Jialin was stimulated by Li Xiaohong, he was afraid of being said that he was not as good as his younger sister, so he put in a lot of effort during the whole summer vacation and skipped a grade with her.

The whole village was a sensation. Since the elementary school was opened, there has never been a student who skipped a grade. How smart and powerful these two children are.

But the most sensational news is not this, but that as long as there are kang houses in the village with flue-cured tobacco, they have installed thermometers bought from the supply and marketing cooperatives.

It’s good to have a thermometer, when should be what temperature, such as how many degrees the tobacco leaves should be roasted to sweat, and how many degrees should be roasted slowly, no more manual estimation.

The people in the supply and marketing cooperative are also very happy. There are so many batches of thermometers in the whole cooperative, and they are all out of stock.

This is the result of everyone coming to learn after seeing that the tobacco leaves baked by Li Xiaohong's kang house are better than those of other families.

Finally, the quality of the overall tobacco leaves in the village is obviously much better than before, and this matter is still slowly radiating to the surroundings.

Knowing that this was Li Xiaohong's idea, everyone in the village was very enthusiastic when they saw Li Xiaohong.This gave her a handful of peanuts, and that gave her a few jujubes. Li Xiaohong didn't want to take it, and it didn't matter if she didn't take it. The villagers just stuffed it into her pocket regardless of her refusal.

When they saw Zhang Meiying, the villagers all praised her for having a good daughter, and praised her for being able to teach such a smart child.Throughout the summer, Zhang Meiying was in high spirits and kept laughing every day.

This change is formed unconsciously and will have a more profound impact in the future.

This morning, Wei Lijun called Li Xiaohong to go to school.

Her hair is the same as her mother's, a little curly, with bangs hanging mischievously on one side.There are two shofar braids on the back of the head. The braids are braided from the top of the head downwards, with a pink bead flower pinned to it. She is wearing a floral rag top with a floral handkerchief pinned to it, and a pair of light grass black. The pants are neat and clean, and they look more silky and cute than ordinary rural children.

Generally, boys pay more attention to a special girl. Could it be that Zhang Jialin hit a pebble with a slingshot in order to attract Lijun's attention, but accidentally hit her on the nose?
Shaking her head, Li Xiaohong threw away this nonsensical thought.

Wei Lijun rested her chin in one hand and sat quietly on the small bench waiting for Li Xiaohong.

"By the way, Lijun, why did you come to my house to move a small bench just now? You borrowed my stool?"

"It doesn't belong to your house. I moved it from my house. Look, it has my name on the back." Saying this, Wei Lijun stood up and turned the small bench over for Li Xiaohong to see.

"Then what are you doing with a bench? We're not going to watch a movie." At this time, when a movie is shown in one village, people in neighboring villages will move their stools to watch it.

"Xiaohong, why did you forget after a summer vacation? We need to move stools for school."

Oh, Li Xiaohong finally remembered that when she was in elementary school, she seemed to have to move a stool to school, then keep it in school, and move it back home at the end of a semester.

"Look at my memory, I forgot about it."

"Xiaohong, your brain is so smart that you have to remember other things. Naturally, you don't remember this little thing. It's like the story of Einstein you told me. He was such a powerful scientist. He ended up walking You will fall yourself into the pit."

Li Xiaohong sweated a lot. It turned out that in the eyes of her friends, she was on the same level as Einstein.

Hey hey smiled and walked over, she stretched out her hand and tugged at Wei Lijun's braid, and said, "Who did it for you? It's a four-strand braid. It's so pretty. But it's not easy to braid. I still only know how to braid it like this." a bit."

As she spoke, she turned her head to let Wei Lijun see that she was starting to tie her ponytail.

Wei Lijun rescued her own braids first, then glared at Li Xiaohong and said, "My mother said that a woman's head is a man's foot, whether you want to touch it or not."

Then she said earnestly in a sister's tone, "Xiaohong, you are still young, but you have to be careful, don't let others touch your head casually in the future."

Li Xiaohong held back her laughter, why didn't she find that Wei Lijun was so funny when she was a child.

"That's for adults, and it has to be between men and women. We children naturally don't count. And, it's 'man's head, woman's feet, whether you want to see it or not'."

"Really?" Wei Lijun asked suspiciously.

"Of course, you see when I lied to you."

"Well, in fact, four-strand braids are also very easy to weave. If you want to learn, I will teach you later."

"Okay, then thank you in advance."

Li Xiaohong put the homework and stationery box into the schoolbag, and the two talked and laughed and walked towards the school.

The journey of happiness is always short, and the two arrived at school soon.

The school is still the same as in my impression, not big, except for a small two-story building, there are only five dilapidated tile-roofed houses with half-earth and half-brick structure, exactly one for each grade.It used to be a landlord's house, but after liberation it became a school.

The school's courtyard wall was still made of earth, and many places were badly damaged, only half the height of a person, and there were traces of people turning over in many places.When the school toilet was tight, she climbed over the wall and went to the villager's house next to the school to use the toilet.

Because I said in advance, after breaking up with Wei Lijun, Li Xiaohong went to find the third grade teacher Wang Mingjie.

The teacher's office is in the only small building in the school and the only small building in the whole village.

The small building faces north, and the strange thing is that there is only one room on the first floor, which is the principal's office.Walking through the office, I greeted the principal inside, and the principal asked her to find Teacher Wang on the second floor.

The office is on the shaded side, next to the stairs.As soon as I walked into the stairs, I immediately felt a chill.

The light in the stairwell is dim, and there is only a small window on the high second floor. Through that glimmer of light, you can see that the paint surface of the wooden stairs is mottled and peeled off, and the exposed stubble is no longer white, but half gray and half gray. Black, with a taste that has been soaked in time.

Even though Li Xiaohong stepped lightly, the stairs still creaked when she stepped on them, as if she was trembling without bearing a heavy load.

This building is already in danger.No wonder the school doesn't allow students to play here after school, and there are many rumors that the place is haunted, so few people dare to come here.For the timid, walking here is scary enough.

Teacher Wang is still as in his impression, tall and thin, with slightly sunken cheeks on his face, making his bones stand out.

In this way, when he pursed his lips again, he looked more serious, only his eyes were still bright and energetic.

He and another Chinese teacher, Mr. Wang, are the best teachers in the school. They used to teach the fifth grade all the time, but for some reason they started teaching the third grade this year.

"Mr. Wang, hello. I'm Li Xiaohong, and I will follow our class from now on."

Perhaps it was because Li Xiaohong was so generous, one of the rare people at this age who was not afraid of seeing the teacher, a trace of surprise appeared on Teacher Wang's face.

"Xiaohong, welcome. I know, you are from Teacher Chen's class, right? You are one of the only two people in our school who have skipped a grade. Not bad. But you can't be proud in the future, you have to keep working hard."

"I will, Teacher Wang."

Wang Mingjie laughed and softened his facial expression. "Your cousin has already been here, I'm waiting for you, now take you to our class." Then, he picked up the broom and rag, and walked out first.

Teacher Wang asked boys and girls to line up according to their height. After everyone stood up and pushed each other, Li Xiaohong found that she might be able to keep up with nutrition, but she was not the shortest. Middle and lower, I can't help being in a good mood.

Seeing Zhang Jialin standing at the front with a helpless face, I felt a little better.Let me call you cousin for so long during the summer vacation, so what about cousin, isn't it taller than me?

After teasing her mood, she thought again, originally she didn't want to skip a grade in such a high-profile way, but time waits for no one, and she can't learn much here. She doesn't want to waste time in elementary school like this, and doesn't want to make her parents work hard for a few more years.

She must go out earlier so that she can better think of ways to improve her life and change her original life trajectory.

After school, Li Xiaohong and Zhang Jialin went to his house to wrap the book covers.

Seeing Wang Cui, Li Xiaohong said, "Honey, we are so lucky to have two Teachers Wang teaching us this year."

"Hehe, it's not your luck. Because both of you have skipped a grade, and your grades are not bad. The principal and teacher are full of confidence in you, thinking that you can bring out two good seedlings. No, Teacher Wang just sent away the graduates. Ban, I will come down this year and prepare to take you. Don't let the teacher down."

What Wang Cui didn't say was that Zhangwang Primary School hadn't achieved any results for many years, and it ranked lower in the town's ranking every year.Zhangwang Primary School is just a village-run primary school. The villagers don't pay much attention to it. The lack of primary school students is one aspect, and this teacher is another aspect.The two teachers Wang in the school are the top teachers, and they used to be assigned to the most important fifth grade graduating class.

Because of poor grades and no teachers in the formal education system, the Education Bureau almost ignored Zhangwang Primary School, and could not get any resources, let alone training.

No, after finally meeting two outstanding students, the principal and the teacher put all their eggs in one basket, thinking that if they could get better grades in the township exams, it would be reasonable to ask again.However, there is no need to tell these two children. All they have to do is to study hard and improve their grades.

"Teacher Wang is very strict. Why are we so unlucky? If I had known, I wouldn't have skipped a grade. I still have to learn so much."

"You don't dare to go to Teacher Wang's class because you are afraid that you won't be able to compare with your sister?"

"How come? Mom, you will underestimate me." Zhang Jialin didn't get excited, and jumped up.

However, upon hearing what the concubine said, Li Xiaohong's heart skipped a beat, and she also thought of this.

At the moment, I also admire the principal's decision. Not any teacher would dare to leave a graduating class alone and make such a decision specifically for two young children.

Moreover, if there are results in doing so, the biggest benefit is the two teachers. As the principal who is about to retire, it is just an honor.

If it is said that Li Xiaohong had regrets in her previous life, so did the two teachers.

If possible, she hopes that her hard work can change the fate of these two good teachers in this life.
