Chapter Fifty-Five: Going to Elementary School

  Before going to register for school, there was a family meeting at home, mainly to discuss whether Qiu Ye should skip grades. This question was raised by his stepfather, who had taught Qiu Ye and Qiu Feng for nearly four months. He knew the current learning level of the two children and believed that Qiu Ye should go straight to fourth grade, starting from first grade would be a waste of time.

  Qiu's father and mother were overjoyed when they heard Fang Haibo's words. Their child was indeed a genius, able to skip grades and enter fourth grade directly upon starting school. This had never happened before in the university's history. Just thinking about it made them feel proud. Those university professors could learn from their own children; even they couldn't keep up with their daughter's intelligence. At the same time, they thought to themselves that their child's godfather was truly talented - he had taught their daughter everything she needed to know in just four months.

  Qiu's mother was even more delighted, and she had already forgotten the things that her daughter used to do to annoy her. Now, no matter how she looked at her daughter, she thought she was great. In her heart, she was secretly thinking that this time, her own daughter could directly enter the fourth grade, and she would also be able to hold her head high and show off in front of those people who looked down on their family.

  This school is also a place for mutual comparison, and it's even more serious than other places. Let's not mention those leaders, but even if both parents are teachers at home, their eyes will be on top of their heads, looking down on everyone else, thinking they're superior because they're all intellectuals, better than the staff and their families in every way. Then there are those where one parent is a teacher and the other is a worker, with their eyes on their forehead, also looking down on others, because they have both culture and good family conditions, stronger than ordinary people. Finally, there's the Qiu family, with one parent being a worker and the other a dependent, with elderly and young at home, and their family conditions can only be described with one word: impoverished, inferior to others in every way.

  Although Qiu Ye knew what her mother was thinking, and she also knew that her stepfather had brought up this topic for her own good, but she had her own thoughts. She didn't want to skip grades, at least not in the near future.

  Because the lower grades get out of school early, like first grade at 11 am every day and finish school at 4 pm, she can continue her small business. If she directly skips to fourth grade with such a high profile, she will definitely attract attention, and her small business will be affected. In front of money, everything else is just floating clouds, she can completely earn some money first and then skip grades.

  Of course, she can't tell her parents that the reason she doesn't want to skip grades is because she wants to sell buns every day. She just says she wants to go to school step by step and enjoy a happy childhood.

  So in the end she still went to first grade. Qiu's mother now thinks that her daughter is a born troublemaker.

  Qiu Yeke doesn't care about those things, mom has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. If others wanted to force her to skip grades, mom would definitely be the first to jump out and stop them. Now it's just that she's not feeling well, later on drinking more honey water will be fine, hehe.

  And so, Qiu Ye began her happy elementary school days.

  It's really happy because her small business is still making money.

  Because of Qiu Ye's inspiration, Qiu Baba and Qiu Mama no longer sell tofu at the market on Central Avenue in the afternoon, but instead went to Xi Zhai Market to continue selling tofu at their daughter's stall, which is indeed much better than before. They are also busier now, so they don't have time to cook for their siblings at noon.

  Zhao Shuyan took over the task of preparing lunch for her siblings, so that year Qiu Ye and his sister had lunch at their godmother's house every day. Qiu Ye saw that she didn't have time to make meatballs, and her godmother was idle every day with nothing to do, so she asked her godmother to cook meatballs for her every morning, and after school, she could directly push the cart to sell them.

  Zhao Shuyan is an unconditional spoiled child, without any complaints, she worked as a small worker for Qiu Ye for a year, not even asking for a penny.

  Qiu Ye spent the year studying and doing business, living a fulfilling life. Her tea egg business developed very well, and she took advantage of her vacation to run for several days, increasing her orders by several dozen. This year was a great harvest for her, with four zeros on her savings account.

  If there's one thing that's not satisfying, it's that the first grade of elementary school is very boring. When classes started, Qiu Ye was a head taller than everyone else in the class.

  The teacher was teaching, and the students below suddenly burst into tears. The teacher had to stop the unfinished lesson and investigate. As a result, the child said that he had urinated in his pants, which caused everyone to burst out laughing.

  Or it's not even class dismissal yet, and there are kids who directly run out, the reason is that they're hungry and want to go home for dinner. Such things have happened many times, first-grade children are too young, and they haven't adapted to school life yet, in class they either pull each other's hair or pee their pants, or hit each other, every day the classroom is like a vegetable market, chaotic and noisy, and can't even finish learning one pinyin character "a" in a week.

  Fang Haibo looked at Gan Niangzi's bitter melon face every day, smiling unscrupulously: "Are you regretting it? Now you can skip a grade if you want to. I'll go talk to Principal Ma and you can be transferred to the fourth grade." He still didn't give up on the idea of letting Qiu Ye skip a grade. With Qiu Ye's level, staying in first grade was really a waste of talent. Moreover, Qiu Ye was a bit old for her grade - those who started school early were already in second or third grade at the age of eight.

  Qiu Ye ignored her father's words. Although she found going to school every day a headache, for the sake of her own business, she decided to endure it.

  In the end, Qiu Ye thought of a solution herself. She learned from Lao Seng and entered a state of concentration, borrowing an English original book from her godfather, and during class time, she would focus solely on reading the sacred books, oblivious to everything outside.

  Fang Haibo gave a thumbs up to his wife's decision, so she wouldn't be wasting her youth. He also decided that after the kids have a solid foundation in English, he would teach them other languages. In his heart, he always believed that having many skills is not a burden, as long as one has the energy, learning more things is good.

  Qiu Ye still didn't know what her godfather was thinking, she just immersed herself in the ocean of books every day.

  Qiu Ye's behavior did not attract the attention of the teachers, who were busy dealing with those crying and noisy children and didn't even notice kids like Qiu Ye who didn't cry or make a fuss and weren't outstanding in any way, so they could be completely ignored.

  Of course, the teacher didn't notice Qiu Ye, but that doesn't mean the kids didn't notice Qiu Ye. Among Qiu Ye's classmates was Wang Dan Dan, and Qiu Ye felt very puzzled about Wang Dan Dan being in the same class as herself. She remembered that in her past life, the two of them were good friends, but not classmates, so why were they classmates this time around? Was it a result of her own butterfly effect?

  No matter how puzzled Qiu Ye was, it did not change the fact that she and Wang Dan Dan became classmates for life.

  Wang Dandan has a bit of princess syndrome, and it's possible that her mother said something at home, so she looks down on Qiu Ye in class. In front of Qiu Ye, she says to Qiu Ye's deskmate: "She and her mom are both petty vendors, don't talk to her, or she'll sell you out too."

  Children have no sense of right or wrong, and after listening to Wang Dandan, they withdrew the hand of friendship that was about to be extended to Qiu Ye.

  Qiu Ye is not a real kid, Wang Dandan's words did not hurt her heart, and she really has no common language with these snotty, tearful little brats, so Wang Dandan's move was just what Qiu Ye had expected.

  Compared with making friends with these little brats, she would rather have her own business thriving and earning a fortune.
