After lunch, Shi Qingqian carefully tidied up Xiaodouzi's clothes and gently reminded him to be polite later.

Xiaodouzi nodded obediently, with anticipation glittering in his eyes.

"Come on, let's go to school together."

The three of them were walking on the way to school. Xiaodouzi was skipping and jumping in the middle, asking some questions about school from time to time. Shi Qingqian and Xu Huaian patiently answered him.

After a while, they arrived at the school.

Principal Li and Teacher Zhang were already waiting for them at the door.

Principal Li smiled broadly, his eyes revealing a warm warmth. "Captain Xu, this is Captain Xu's family member, right?"

Xu Huaian smiled and nodded, introducing: "Principal Li, this is my wife Shi Qingqian. Qingqian, this is Principal Li, and this is Teacher Zhang."

Shi Qingqian greeted them politely: "Hello, Principal Li and Teacher Zhang."

Principal Li responded with a smile, "I've long heard that Captain Xu's family is a heroine. Seeing her today, she is indeed extraordinary."

Shi Qingqian smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Principal Li, you are too kind."

At this time, Teacher Zhang also came forward and looked at Xiaodouzi with a smile: "This is Xiaodouzi, you are so cute."

Xiaodouzi hid behind Shi Qingqian shyly, and poked his little head out to look at Teacher Zhang.

Shi Qingqian gently pulled Xiaodouzi out and said, "Xiaodouzi, say hello to the teacher."

Xiaodouzi said timidly, "Hello, Principal Li, and Teacher Zhang."

"Xiaodouzi is so well behaved," Principal Li looked at Shi Qingqian and asked, "I wonder if Xiaodouzi has a real name?"

"My great name is Wenlan, which means "literature carries the truth" and "lan" means "read widely".

Principal Li nodded slightly and praised, "Literature carries the truth, and reading widely is a good name."

Next, Principal Li and Teacher Zhang took turns asking Xiaodouzi some questions, all of which were from the first-grade textbooks.

Principal Li and Teacher Zhang only asked Xiaodouzi questions with a preliminary understanding of the situation.

However, as Xiaodouzi answered one by one, expressions of surprise gradually appeared on their faces.

Xiaodouzi knew quite a few words, and the first and second grade textbooks were no problem for him at all. Especially in math calculations, Xiaodouzi was much better than fifth grade students.

"Xiaodouzi is very talented," Principal Li praised.

Teacher Zhang nodded in agreement: "That's right, we can't let such a good seedling be buried."

Principal Li looked at Xiaodouzi with admiration in his eyes. He smiled and said to Shi Qingqian and Xu Huaian, "Xiaodouzi is very talented. At his current level, it would be a waste of time to start learning from the first grade."

"I suggest that you send Xiaodouzi to school tomorrow morning and let him start directly from the third grade."

Teacher Zhang nodded and said, "Yes, Xiaodouzi's ability far exceeds that of his peers. It would be better for him to start learning in the third grade."

After listening to what Principal Li and Teacher Zhang said, Shi Qingqian felt a little hesitant.

Xiaodouzi is very talented, but she is also worried that Xiaodouzi is still young and it might be too stressful for him to go directly to the third grade.

She also hopes that Xiaodouzi can be with children of the same age and enjoy a happy childhood.

Shi Qingqian said, "Principal Li, Teacher Zhang, I understand your good intentions, but Xiaodouzi is still young after all. I'm worried that he won't be able to keep up if he goes straight to third grade."

Xu Huaian looked at Shi Qingqian's slightly furrowed brows and whispered, "Wife, why don't you listen to what Xiaodouzi has to say."

After listening to Xu Huaian's words, Shi Qingqian felt that there was some truth in them, so she nodded slightly, her eyes gently falling on Xiaodouzi.

"Xiaodouzi, do you want to start from the first grade and go to school with other children your age, or from the third grade?"

Xiaodouzi bit his lips, his little brain working rapidly.

After a while, Xiaodouzi raised his head, looked at Shi Qingqian and Xu Huaian with a firm gaze, and said, "Mom, Dad, I want to go to the third grade."

Shi Qingqian looked at Xiaodouzi's determined expression. She squatted down, gently hugged Xiaodouzi, and said, "Xiaodouzi, have you really thought it through? Studying in the third grade may be harder than you imagined."

Xiaodouzi nodded vigorously and said, "I've thought about it. I think I can do it."

Xu Huaian also walked forward, touched Xiaodouzi's head, and said, "Good son, you have courage. Since you have made up your mind, Dad supports you."

Shi Qingqian sighed and said, "Okay, since you have decided, Mom supports you."

After the decision was made about Xiaodouzi's studies, Shi Qingqian and A Miao immediately started preparing things for Xiaodouzi to use for school tomorrow when they returned home.

A Miao took out a small schoolbag that she had made last night.

This small schoolbag was carefully sewn by A Miao using dark blue cloth, and there is a little eagle embroidered on it, making it look particularly exquisite.

When Shi Qingqian saw the small schoolbag, a look of surprise appeared on her face.

"Ah Miao, this schoolbag is so beautifully made. When was it made?"

"We did it last night after you all went to bed."

Anyway, she is a robot and doesn't need to sleep. She is really bored alone at night, so she starts making schoolbags when she has nothing to do.

Xiaodouzi ran over excitedly, and when he saw the beautiful little schoolbag, his eyes sparkled with joy.

"Auntie, this schoolbag is so beautiful! Is it for me?"

Shi Qingqian smiled and said, "Yes, Xiaodouzi, this is made by Aunt Miao especially for you. Do you like it?"

Xiaodouzi nodded vigorously and said, "I like it. I like it very much. I will carry it to school tomorrow. Thank you, Aunt Miao."

Xiaodouzi hugged Ami's legs and rubbed them like a little kitten.

A Miao lowered her head slightly, looked at Xiaodouzi's cute appearance, and gently touched Xiaodouzi's head.

……

Xiangyang Village.

Zhang Lanxiang hasn't received any letters from the army for almost half a month.

A few days ago, I went to the town to make a phone call. Although people in the army said that Lao San and Qing Qian were doing well, Zhang Lanxiang was still very nervous and felt very uneasy.

Seeing that she couldn't sit still because of the needles on her butt, Xu's father couldn't help but say, "Can't you just be quiet for a while? What can happen to the children in the army? Don't worry about it."

Zhang Lanxiang rolled her eyes at Father Xu. "What do you know? I haven't heard from you in over half a month. How can I not be panicked?"

She paced back and forth in the room, sometimes going to the window to look outside, sometimes sitting down to pick up her needlework, but soon put it down again.

Zhang Lanxiang said, "No, I just feel uneasy. How about we go to the town and make a phone call to ask?"

Father Xu advised, "Didn't you just call a few days ago? Stop making such a fuss. Even if you want to call, you have to wait until tomorrow. Go to bed quickly."
