Chen Ping was at a loss for words when it came to finding Principal Chen. In his opinion, letting a three-year-old go to primary school was a joke.
Therefore, he was afraid that Principal Chen would scold him if he said it out loud. Chen Ping’s mouth opened and closed. It was as if the words were stuck in his throat and he couldn’t spit them out no matter how hard he tried.
Chen Meng’er looked at her father’s conflicted expression and sighed in her heart. This matter, it was still her who opened her mouth. If she was counting on her father… she would probably have to wait until the sun set today. “Grandpa Chen, my father and I came to look for you today because of my elementary school matter.”
When Principal Chen heard Chen Meng’er’s words, he thought that he had misheard. “What? Meng’er, I didn’t mishear, right? You said that you came with your father today because of your elementary school matter?”!!
Chen Meng’er nodded her head firmly in the face of Principal Chen’s gaze that said that he must have misheard.
“No, Meng’er, how old are you this year?” Principal Chen asked.
“Three years old. I’m three years old today.” Chen Meng’er answered with a serious expression.
“Meng’er, if you are in elementary school, you have to be seven years old.” Principal Chen finished speaking. He raised his head and looked at Chen Ping. “Little Ping, is Meng’er talking about the purpose of your visit today?”
“Yes, it’s about this matter.” Chen Ping nodded and said under Principal Chen’s stern gaze.
“Nonsense, what nonsense. Meng’er is still young, so it’s fine if she doesn’t know.” Principal Chen glared at Chen Ping and criticized.
“Uncle Chen, I know everything you said. But I told Meng’er, and she still insisted. I’m afraid that we, husband and wife, are stupid. I said something wrong and hurt Meng’er’s heart, so I thought of bringing Meng’er to your place and letting you talk to her.” Chen Ping told him the purpose of bringing Chen Meng’er here.
“Is that so?” Principal Chen felt that what Chen Ping said was right, “Meng’er, it’s not mom and dad. It’s not that Grandpa Chen doesn’t want you to go to school. It’s that you’re not old enough to go to school yet. When you’re old enough, Grandpa Chen will welcome you to school.” Principal Chen advised Chen Meng’er earnestly.
If it were any other child, Principal Chen would probably have surrendered after saying this. However, the person in front of Principal Chen was not anyone else, but Chen Meng’er, a person who had been reborn. In addition, she was determined to enter primary school today.
“Grandpa Chen. I know there’s a special situation.” Chen Meng’er tugged at the corner of Principal Chen’s shirt and blinked her eyes as she looked at Principal Chen and said.
“What special situation?” Principal Chen and Chen Ping asked in unison.
“Aren’t students with good grades allowed to skip grades? Then if my grades are good, won’t I be able to enter the school earlier?”
Looking at Chen Meng’er’s serious little face, Principal Chen was at a loss for words. Chen Meng’er looked at Principal Chen, who was stumped by her words, she continued, “Then Grandpa Chen, you can take my exam. If my grades are good, you can let me go to school with Xuan. If my grades aren’t good, I won’t go to school. I’ll wait until I’m old enough to go to school.”
Chen Meng’er was taking a step back in order to advance. Principal Chen also felt that Chen Meng’er’s suggestion was not bad. The reason why Principal Chen felt that it was not bad was because he felt from the bottom of his heart that it was impossible for a three-year-old brat like Chen Meng’er to pass his assessment. “Alright. Since Meng’er has made such a suggestion, then we’ll do as Meng’er says.”
When Chen Meng’er saw that her suggestion had been accepted, she was so happy that she clenched her fists in her heart.
“Yeah!”
