The next day, Niu Ye and Niu Ma went to school together. On the first day of school, they had to report, collect summer homework, pay tuition, and distribute books.
We also need to deal with the repeaters in the class, and the head teacher is still very busy.
The two of them waited in the teacher's office for a long time before the original class teacher, Teacher Wang, was free.
"Mother Niu Ye, although your Niu Ye's final grades last semester were quite good, you parents are still a little unconscionable in letting him go directly to fifth grade."
The school's teaching quality is not high, the teachers are not very good, and they have experienced skipping grades.
It’s also strange that in the past few years, during special periods, education was not given much attention.
Regardless of whether the education is good or bad, the child's way out is to go to the countryside.
Even if students now don’t have to go to the countryside, they still can’t change their old habits that quickly.
"Teacher Wang, my Niu Ye said that he has already studied the fourth-grade courses on his own. Let's let him take the exam first and see the results. If he really can't keep up, he will continue to trouble you in the future."
"Okay, please wait for me. I'll go find two papers and let Niu Ye do them in the office first."
It will naturally not take long to complete two elementary school papers.
After Teacher Wang's correction, there were two more perfect score papers.
"Classmate Niu Ye, the teacher knows that you are smart, but I didn't expect that after you study hard, you will make such rapid progress. You are really a budding student. If it were an era when you could take the college entrance examination, you might actually become a college student."
Teacher Wang said with a pity expression.
"Teacher Wang, it's no shame. I heard that the country is already preparing to resume the college entrance examination."
This teacher Wang is quite nice and he is not too old. He may take the college entrance examination.
Niu Ye didn't mind, and reminded him more than a month in advance. Whether he could seize the opportunity or not depends on Teacher Wang, whether he believed what he said as a little brat.
Then Teacher Wang took the corrected papers and took Niu Ma and Niu Ye to the principal's office.
In other words, skipping a grade requires approval from the principal. Unlike repeating a grade, for such an important matter, the head teacher only needs to approve it.
"Niuye, now that the matter is done, mom will go back and cook something delicious to celebrate for you. Remember to go home for lunch."
After coming out of the principal's office, Mother Niu went home first.
Then Teacher Wang introduced Niu Ye to the fifth grade head teacher.
After paying tuition, collecting books, and arranging seats, Niu Ye became a glorious fifth-grade elementary school student.
After that, there is the matter of selecting class cadres and class representatives, which has nothing to do with Niu Ye, the newcomer who has just arrived in the class.
What was a pity for Niu Ye was that the classmates in the class were one year older than him.
There are two repeaters, who are more than one year older than Niu Ye. He is no longer the tallest child in the class, and there is no hope of getting a prime seat to "return to his hometown".
"Brother Niu, don't you need me to help you with your homework in the future?"
During the recess, Niu Ye thought that his younger brothers would come to him first.
Unexpectedly, the person who came to see him first was the "little homework expert" girl Xiao Fang.
Writing homework is indeed a problem. I think that for a person who is so old, how can I go home and write elementary school homework all day long?
"Can you do the fifth grade homework?"
"Brother Niu Ye, I can learn." The little girl said firmly.
"Okay, you wait for me at the door after school. I'll give you your homework. You can try to see if you can write it first."
The little girl is quite smart, but I don’t know if she can take the fourth and fifth grade classes at the same time.
After sending Xiao Fang away, Niu Ye went to the second grade to find his younger brother Qiao Erqiang.
"Two strong ones."
"Brother Niu Ye."
"When you get home today, find me your eldest brother's fifth-grade textbook and send it to my house."
"Okay, Brother Niu Ye, it's okay to leave this matter to me."
"You'd better talk to your elder brother about this, and I'll exchange it for you with rice. Don't do what you did with the textbook last time, not telling your elder brother and letting your elder brother teach you."
Niu Ye could find textbooks through many channels, so he chose Qiao Yicheng's just to help the Qiao family.
For four children, Qiao Zuwang only gave them a total of ten yuan for one month's living expenses.
This includes all the expenses of buying rice, noodles, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and vegetables. There is only so much money.
This money was used to ration food for several children, and after buying it, there was not much money left.
It means that there are also coarse grains in the ration, which can be cheaper, otherwise the money will only be enough to buy fifty or sixty kilograms of rice.
After school in the afternoon, Niu Ye first found the little girl Xiao Fang and brought her home.
After finding some biscuits for the girl to eat, she waited for Qiao Erqiang to bring her textbooks.
"Brother Niu Ye, I sent you the textbook. My eldest brother said that you can use the textbook as long as you want. There is no need to give us anything."
Qiao Yicheng didn't want to owe a favor. This was because Niu Ye usually fed the three Qiao brothers and sisters a lot of things, using old textbooks. Qiao Yicheng was embarrassed to accept the benefits.
He has a good personality, as a child can understand, and he is self-respecting and self-reliant, which is quite admirable.
"Here it is, just keep it. Brother Niu Ye, am I the one who is short of money?"
Niu Ye said proudly, with the tone of a wealthy and nouveau riche.
I gave the rice to Qiao Erqiang and asked Qiao Erqiang to go back first.
How could such a greedy child resist the temptation of food?
"Xiao Fang, this Chinese class is all about copying and writing, so you can just write it for me. I will write the math class homework myself first. You can take the textbook back and study it by yourself. When you can catch up with the progress, I will hand it over to you.
you write."
"I can write it now."
Xiao Fang took the old textbook that Niu Ye handed over and Qiao Erqiang sent over and said.
"Don't make trouble. You study for a while first. Even if you only do Chinese homework, we still have the same old rules."
This little girl is quite troublesome, and Niu Ye doesn't want the little girl to lose her income from homework just because she crosses here.
This income seems to be quite important to the little girl.
This year I'm still in the same school, so I can make do with it for a year. Next year Niu Ye will go to junior high school, so it won't be easy to do this.
I need to take time this year to get to know the little girl’s family and try to solve the problem fundamentally.
"Niu Ye, I heard that you are in the fifth grade and skipped a grade. Oops, that's incredible. Besides Qiao Yicheng, there are other people like you who are good at reading in our courtyard."
Niu's mother was probably too happy and told everyone she met. The news about Niu Ye's grade skipping quickly spread among the surrounding neighbors.
Niu Ye temporarily replaced the Qiao family and became the center of gossip.
In the past, only when Niu Ye's father came back and brought back all kinds of foreign knowledge, the Niu family had this kind of treatment.
The aunts and grandmothers in the courtyard would always praise Niu Ye when they saw him.
Niu Ye went from someone else's education background to become someone else's child.
