Chapter 208 If others can do it, I can do it too!
Zhou Cai thought for a moment and said, "Since we are taking turns to go to the countryside, we shouldn't stay there for the rest of our lives. If we can be promoted after we come back, I think it's worth it.
There is no official in my family. If I could get a position, I could protect you guys!"
Zhou Gui smiled and said, "I will fight with you! In life, you must dare to challenge and try things. When you are old, you will feel that your life is worthwhile."
Zhou Rong sighed softly, children who have not experienced the harsh beatings of society will always be so high-spirited.
It's good to have some experience, because the road ahead is still so long. If you don't experience it and don't suffer any loss, no matter how much others say, you won't be able to empathize with them and won't agree with their opinions.
"Just think it over and reply to Teacher Qin in a couple of days."
Zhou Gui: “Yeah.”
After returning home, the three sisters showed their graduation certificates to Zhou's father and mother.
Father Zhou laughed happily and said, "Mother, go buy some candies and give them to the neighbors later!"
Mother Zhou was also happy that her three daughters had successfully graduated. She smiled and said, "I'll go right away! I'll buy some food and come back to celebrate! Sister Xue, let's have dinner together later, so we can have some fun!"
Xue Wanyi: "Okay."
Zhou Jiaguang took the opportunity to say, "Mom, buy another box of soda. It would be boring to have a celebration party without soda!"
Mother Zhou knew Zhou Jiaguang's little thoughts, but she was happy today, so she didn't care: "I'll go buy it, you bring it back."
Zhou Jiaguang: "I don't have enough strength. If I fall, it will be a big loss. Let Dad go with me."
Father Zhou: "You are so weak, you don't need to go. I will do it myself. You can see what dishes are at home and prepare them first."
Zhou Jiaguang: "Okay. Today I'll let you try a dish that I, a little kid, just invented: sweet and sour pumpkin!"
Zhou Cai mercilessly criticized him: "Did you invent that? It was obviously my eldest sister who taught me!"
Zhou Jiaguang: "Can you please give me some face? As a cook, if I'm in a bad mood, it will affect the taste of the food."
Zhou Cai: "Humph! So what? If it doesn't taste good, it's all yours. It's hot now, if you don't finish it, you'll have something rotten tomorrow."
Zhou Jiaguang: “…”
Xue Wanyi watched the Zhou siblings bickering with a smile, then got up and went back to her own home, planning to pack three red envelopes and give them to the three Zhou Rong sisters.
When Zhou's mother came back from shopping, she gave two candies to everyone she met, saying that there was a happy event at home and everyone should celebrate together.
Everyone guessed that the three Zhou Rong sisters must have graduated successfully, and they hurriedly congratulated Zhou's mother.
Listening to the series of blessings, Zhou's mother smiled so much that the wrinkles on her face deepened...
Before the meal, Xue Wanyi gave red envelopes to Zhou Rong and the other two, and did not allow them to refuse: "I am very happy to see you three working hard. You have done many things that women cannot do. I believe you will have a bright future.
This red envelope is a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it. Don’t push it around and make me sad.”
Zhou Rong: "Okay, then we'll accept it. Aunt Xue, when you come to eat next time, please don't bring anything with you. It will make our relationship estranged."
Xue Wanyi: "I like to buy food for Da Wa, Nini and others. This is my freedom and you can't interfere.
You shout about freedom and equality every day, but why doesn’t it work for me? This is not the ideological awareness that a progressive youth should have.”
Zhou Rong: “…”
The Zhou family's celebration banquet was very lively.
The eldest son asked Zhou Rong if he could skip a grade when school starts in September. He wanted to learn from his mother and get into university as soon as possible.
Next year, not only will one million cadres go to the countryside, but primary and secondary school graduates will also have to go to the suburbs to participate in agricultural production for 1-2 months.
The eldest child will start school in September and will be in the fifth grade. If he skips a grade, he will be in the sixth grade, which will be the perfect time for the countryside activity.
Zhou Rong does not object to her children participating in agricultural labor, but the eldest child will only be 9 years old next year, and she is really worried about leaving him alone outside for a month or two.
Zhou Rong said: "The brothers and sisters in grade six are a head taller than you. If you skip a grade and join them, you will definitely be bullied.
If you know all the knowledge in the textbooks, you can read more extracurricular books, exercise your body, grow taller, and then when you enter junior high school, you can skip a grade."
Being in the same grade as the eldest child is the most embarrassing thing for Zhou Jiaguang.
But he always scored lower than the eldest child in every exam. His classmates often laughed at him for being an uncle but not as good as his nephew.
If the eldest child was in the sixth grade and he was only in the fifth grade, he would definitely become the biggest laughing stock in the school and be ridiculed every day.
Thinking about that scene, Zhou Jiaguang was scared and quickly chimed in, "Your mother is right. With your current small stature, you will definitely be bullied if you are in the sixth grade.
Although I am your uncle and it is my duty to help you fight, I also fail sometimes. What if we meet a tough guy and both of us get beaten up?
You should just stay in the fifth grade. We can be companions and look after each other. Uncle and nephew will unite and no one will dare to bully you!"
The eldest boy has grown a lot in the past two years and is almost 140cm tall. Every time he grows taller, he leaves a mark on the door.
The eldest child pointed at the mark on the door and said, "I am a little taller than last month. I have observed the sixth grade students and found that many of them are not as tall as me.
I practice the moves my mother taught me every day. Most people are no match for me. If I skip a grade, I will never be bullied.
I got full marks in all the final exams this time, and I have also finished studying the fifth grade textbooks on my own. Going to class again is meaningless and a sheer waste of time. Mom, please agree to let me skip a grade."
Zhou Rong: "What if the school organizes extracurricular labor and requires you to go to the countryside to do farm work for a month or two? Can you do it?"
Big Boy: "If others can do it, I can do it too! I'm originally from the countryside, and I followed you into the city. I'm familiar with the countryside stuff!
The teacher said that we are the future successors of the motherland and need to develop in all aspects of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics and labor. I cannot hold you back. "
Zhou Rong: "...you are indeed the future successor of the motherland, and your thinking is very advanced. If you insist on skipping a grade, then go ahead. When you register, I will directly enroll you in the 6th grade. During this time, you should prepare for your lessons well."
Big Baby: “Okay.”
Zhou Jiaguang raised his hand and asked weakly, "Sister, can I skip a grade?"
Zhou Rong: "How many points did you get in the final exam? What's your ranking in your class?"
Zhou Jiaguang said proudly: "Chinese 90, arithmetic 95, ranked fifth in the class. Compared with before, I have improved a lot."
Zhou Rong: "If you were a teacher, would you allow such a student to skip a grade?"
Zhou Jiaguang murmured in a low voice: "Let's discuss it carefully, we can make some adjustments."
Zhou Rong: "Since you are so confident, let's skip a grade together. You can keep me company when we go to the countryside to work. You are the uncle, so remember to take good care of Da Wa."
Zhou Jiaguang: “…”
