“Oh, I see.” Chen Meng’er understood. Her father had brought her to Principal Chen’s house because he wanted Principal Chen to reject her.
“However, I really didn’t expect you to be so amazing that you could even get all the first grade papers right. I have to go back now and tell your mother about this.” Chen Ping was also very excited. He and his wife did not have high academic qualifications. They both graduated from junior high school, but their minds were still quite aware. They knew that if this child wanted to get ahead, she had to study well.
On the way back, the smile on Chen Ping’s face did not disappear. Chen Meng’er looked at the silly smile on her father’s face. Her heart was very satisfied, and it was always warm. This was something that she had been searching for in her previous life but had never been able to obtain.
“Yo, Little Ping, you’ve only just returned from Principal Chen’s Home?” The Aunties in the village asked when they saw Chen Ping.!!
“That’s right, Little Ping. You ran so fast just now that you didn’t tell us. Why are you carrying your daughter and looking for Principal Chen?” These aunties were really persistent. It had already been more than two hours, yet they were still struggling with this problem when they saw the father and daughter.
At this time, Chen Ping’s attitude changed, he answered very frankly, “Yes, my daughter and I just came back from Principal Chen’s house. I went there this time because of my daughter’s schooling.” Chen Ping would not admit that he was showing off.
“Your daughter’s schooling? Little Ping, are you alright? Shouldn’t it be your child, Little Xuan’s schooling?” The middle-aged woman looked at Chen Meng’er, who was in Chen Ping’s arms, she did some calculations in her heart. She did not remember incorrectly. Chen Ping’s daughter was only three years old.
It was not only the middle-aged woman who had the same thought. Everyone standing there had the same thought. Chen Ping must have said something wrong.
“I didn’t say anything wrong. It’s about my daughter, Meng’er, going to school.” Chen Ping grinned, he said, “My Little Xuan is going to primary school today. However, my little Xuan is already at the age of the first grade of primary school. I don’t need to look for Principal Chen. My daughter is still not old enough to go to primary school. That’s why I went to look for Principal Chen to discuss it.”
This was not about being old enough to go to primary school. At Chen Meng’er’s age, going to nursery school was a little risky.
“How’s the situation? Did Principal Chen agree?” Someone asked. They did not think that Principal Chen would be someone who would help you just because you asked him to,
“He agreed. Well, Principal Chen took out the grade one examination paper and asked my daughter to do it. In the end, my daughter did it all right. Principal Chen agreed to make an exception and let my daughter go to grade one.”
“Yo, you’re really amazing. You can do the elementary school exam at such a young age.”
“Yeah, you did it all right. That child of mine only got 80 marks today.”
Amidst everyone’s discussion, Chen Ping raised his head and grinned. He carried Chen Meng’er and walked home. Chen Meng’er had long become numb to her father’s boastful look.
However, the corners of Chen Meng’er’s mouth curled up, betraying her current mood. For the first time, she knew that the feeling of being the proud child that her parents talked about was so wonderful.
Chen Meng’er leaned on her father’s shoulder and looked at the people who were discussing in the distance, she said silently in her heart, “Father, thank you. Thank you for letting me know what it feels like to be a child of proud parents. Thank you.”
When Chen Ping carried Chen Meng’er home, Chen Meng’er was so tired from the morning exam that she had fallen asleep on her father’s shoulder.
As for Liu Juan, she was like an ant on a hot pan at home, waiting anxiously. She didn’t know how things were going. She also began to regret not going with them.
Liu Juan saw Chen Meng’er lying on her husband’s shoulder. She was shocked. Could it be that Meng’er was ruthlessly rejected by Principal Chen? She was sad and cried all the way.
As for Chen Haoguo and Chen Haoxuan, they knew that their sister was going to Principal Chen’s house today to talk to him about school. Therefore, the two good brothers who were worried about their sister didn’t go out to play either, they were also waiting at home.
The two of them did not think as much as Liu Juan did. When the two brothers saw their father and sister coming back, they wanted to run over and ask about the results. However, they were stopped by their quick-witted mother. “Both of you, calm down. Can’t you see that your sister is sad?”
Liu Juan was certain that Chen Meng’er had been hit hard by Principal Chen. Chen Haoguo, who came to his senses, looked at his sister lying on his father’s shoulder and asked worriedly, “Mom, is my sister sad? Is she crying?”
Chen Ping carried Chen Meng’er and walked in as soon as Chen Haoguo’s question was asked. Chen Ping also heard Chen Haoguo’s words. “Who said that? Your sister Isn’t crying. She’s asleep,” Chen Ping said softly.
After Chen Ping said that, Liu Juan, Chen Haoguo, and Chen Haoxuan finally saw Chen Meng’er, who was lying on Chen Ping’s shoulder and sleeping soundly with her eyes closed. They then heaved a sigh of relief.
“How was it?” Liu Juan looked at her husband and asked.
When Chen Ping mentioned this, his eyes lit up. If his daughter, Chen Meng’er, was not sleeping on his shoulder, he would have laughed out loud. “Very good. Principal Chen has agreed to let Meng’er go to school with Little Xuan.”
“What? This…” Liu Juan’s mouth was slightly agape at her husband’s reply.
“Very surprised, right? I’m quite surprised too.” Chen Ping looked at his wife’s reaction and smiled as he told his wife, Liu Juan, about what had happened at Principal Chen’s house. This made Liu Juan both surprised and happy.
Even Chen Haoxuan, who was listening at the side, could not help but say, “Little sister is really amazing.”
