Zhuang Chaoying and Huang Ling both took rare leave and took Wang Gang and Zhuang Xiaoting to school in person.
You must know that both Zhuang Chaoying and Huang Ling can be called model workers, especially Zhuang Chaoying. Even if he was sick and had a fever, he never took a day off. In terms of work attitude, he was absolutely not picky, otherwise the school would not arrange for him to take the college entrance examination.
This time, Zhuang Chaoying and Huang Ling went out together to communicate with the principal of the primary school about Wang Gang's grade skipping. They obviously took it very seriously.
The principal also warmly received Zhuang Chaoying. After all, they were both in the same system and had met each other in private.
"Teacher Zhuang, you have raised a genius son!" The principal complimented Zhang Chaoying as soon as he came up:
"Yesterday I personally tested Zhuang Tunan. Not only has he mastered all the knowledge in elementary school, but he has even touched on the knowledge points in junior high school in mathematics. He has a strong sense of advanced learning."
Zhuang Chaoying felt happier when she heard the principal praise her son than when she heard others praise herself.
"The school's teachings are good. This kid Tunan still has a lot to learn." Zhuang Chaoying said politely.
"I have discussed with several teachers that Zhuang Tunan can definitely skip to sixth grade and take the primary to junior high school exam next year." The principal looked at Wang Gang with relief and said.
Huang Ling said anxiously: "The sixth graders are all children much older than Tunan. Isn't he uncomfortable in the past?"
The principal smiled and said: "We have also considered this issue. The sixth grade teacher said that he would pay more attention to Zhuang Tunan."
Zhuang Chaoying held the principal's hand and thanked him: "Thank you for the help the school has given to my son. Principal, you have taken the trouble."
The principal smiled and said: "Teacher Zhuang is very polite. It is an honor for the school to have such an outstanding student as Zhuang Tunan."
The matter of skipping a grade was happily settled in this way. In fact, according to Wang Gang's idea, he wanted to skip a grade directly and go to junior high school. It was really uncomfortable for him to go to class with those little brats.
However, it is only the first half of the semester, and the last promotion from primary school to junior high school has ended. It is still very difficult to enter junior high school directly without passing the exam. Wang Gang himself knows that it is unrealistic.
Before Zhuang Chaoying and Huang Ling left, they told Wang Gang to study hard and not be complacent after reaching sixth grade.
Wang Gang promised all the time, but he didn't pay attention at all in class and kept reading the junior high school textbook.
The teacher didn't say anything when he found out. As long as Wang Gang didn't read idle books and didn't affect others, the teacher would turn a blind eye. Who could tell that Wang Gang ranked first in the class in every quiz?
The sixth-grade students were initially curious about Wang Gang, a junior who suddenly jumped up, but as the novelty wore off, they gradually accepted it.
Several unsighted students made trouble for Wang Gang, but he dealt with them all severely. After that, they all became honest, and no one looked down on Wang Gang anymore.
Ever since Wang Gang skipped to sixth grade, Zhuang Chaoying and Huang Ling have appeared in the workplace. Many people have asked them for parenting advice, and their vanity has been greatly satisfied.
After the Zhuang family learned that Wang Gang had skipped a grade, they seemed to have forgotten what happened on Zhuang's mother's birthday, and even invited Zhuang Chaoying's family back for dinner.
?Wang Gang doesn’t understand why they are so thick-skinned!
Both Wang Gang and Huang Ling, as well as the youngest Zhuang Xiaoting, were resistant to going to my father's and grandma's house. Only Zhuang Chaoying was very happy.
Just because the college entrance examination was about to take place, Zhang Chaoying was too busy at school and couldn't spare time to go to her father's and mother-in-law's house. Huang Ling breathed a sigh of relief.
Before New Year's Day, the cotton mill handed Huang Ling the key to the new house, and she immediately took her children to see the new house.
Huang Ling was assigned a bungalow, located in a small alley, with two rooms, one large and one small, and shared a small courtyard with her next door neighbor.
The environment of the house is not very good. There is no toilet or faucet, which makes life very inconvenient. But compared with other families of the same era, this small house is enough for the banker's family of four.
When Wang Gang walked into the alley for the first time, he found that the people around him were more or less lucky, which made him happy.
Although the house has been obtained, it still needs some renovations. It is impossible to do a major renovation, but it is still possible to paint the walls white and add some furniture.
Huang Ling asked her colleagues in the factory for help and planned to spend money to build furniture.
Regarding the house, Zhuang Chaoying had no time to take care of it, so Huang Ling took care of it. After all, it was her own house, and Huang Ling was very concerned about it.
On weekends, Huang Ling brought Wang Gang and Zhuang Xiaoting over to paint the walls, and also hired a carpenter named Wu to build furniture.
Master Wu is also a worker in the factory. He lives not far from the alley and is a neighbor to the banker.
Wang Gang heard that Master Wu was very good at carpentry, but he was unlucky. His wife passed away early and left behind a pair of children. Life was very hard, so he usually took on some private work.
Huang Ling came directly to the door with her children and was quite polite to Master Wu. After all, we were all neighbors from now on, and we were from the same factory. We could not see each other without looking up.
"Master Wu, I want to buy two beds, a wardrobe, and a dining table. How much does it cost in total?"
"Do we need chairs for the dining table?" Master Wu made some calculations and asked.
"Build two chairs!" Huang Ling said, "I can find some old stools."
After Master Wu calculated the account, he quoted Huang Ling a fair price.
"You pay a deposit of fifty yuan first, and I will buy the materials. The remaining money will be paid after the furniture is finished." Master Wu said:
"Do you have any requirements for furniture styles?"
Huang Ling smiled and said: "My son has some ideas about furniture."
Master Wu glanced at Wang Gang in surprise.
Wang Gang took out some drawings and said, "Master Wu, these are the furniture drawings I drew. Take a look."
"Did you draw it?!" Master Wu took the drawing in surprise and found that it was really a design drawing of furniture, and the drawing was very detailed. Even an experienced carpenter like him might not be able to draw it.
Huang Ling touched Wang Gang's little head and said with a smile: "They were all drawn blindly by children. Do you think it's suitable?"
Master Wu looked at the drawing carefully and praised: "It's suitable, it's so suitable. I can't even draw so well. Your son has learned carpentry at such a young age."
Huang Ling said proudly: "No, it's all just his usual guesswork."
Master Wu sighed: "I'm afraid I can't draw the blueprint, but your son is very talented."
When Huang Ling heard Master Wu praising her son, she couldn't close her mouth with laughter.
Zhuang Xiaoting shouted proudly at this time: "The teacher said my brother is a genius."
Master Wu seemed to remember something and asked: "I heard from my daughter before that there was a boy in their elementary school who jumped directly from the third grade to the sixth grade. Couldn't he be your son?"
Zhuang Xiaoting raised her chin proudly and said, "My brother is awesome!"
"Awesome, awesome." Master Wu sighed: "If my boy is half as capable as your brother in the future, I can laugh out of my dreams."
At this time, a little girl walked into the courtyard carrying a vegetable basket.
"Dad, I'm back." The little girl saw that there were other people at home, but she didn't see anything happening. She seemed to have been used to it for a long time.
Master Wu called the little girl over and said, "This is my daughter Wu Shanshan, Shanshan, come and meet your Aunt Huang."
Wu Shanshan looked at Huang Ling warily, her eyes were very strange, as if she was looking at some enemy.
"Hello, Aunt Huang." Wu Shanshan said unnaturally.
"Hello Shanshan." Huang Ling greeted with a smile, not paying much attention to Wu Shanshan's eyes.
"Shanshan, Aunt Wu's children are also your classmates. You two go to the same school, and her son is the boy who skipped a grade." Master Wu introduced.
