Reborn before the famine, kicking away the scumbag's family and living a carefree life.

94. Skipping a grade (2)

Su Jinxuan knew that the reason his older sister valued his studies so much and encouraged him to study hard for more than a year during the famine was because she had suffered a deep trauma in this regard. She was disliked by Qi Zhengyang for being uneducated and eventually divorced him. So she didn't want her younger brother to suffer the same fate of being uneducated.

He couldn't let his older sister down.

After settling her younger brother in, Su Jinru arrived home in the afternoon. It was time for her son and daughter to come home from school, so she hurried home.

When we got home, the two kids were playing at their mother's house.

Su Jinru told her parents that her younger brother had passed the exam and directly entered the third year of junior high school, and they were very happy for their son.

After listening to her mother and grandparents, Anran raised her tender little face.

"Mom, do you mean you took Uncle to the school today to talk to the principal and let him go straight to the third year of junior high, skipping the first two years of junior high?"

“It’s not that he missed two years of classes; it’s that he spent the year at home learning all the junior high school courses. He already knows all the knowledge from the first and second years of junior high! So there’s no need to waste time continuing his studies.”

"Mom, I've finished studying the elementary school curriculum on my own. Does that mean I can go straight to fifth grade?"

"Fifth grade is a bit of an exaggeration. In my opinion, you should be fine going straight to third grade."

"Then go and tell our teacher tomorrow to let me go to the third grade."

“Anran, we have to let our abilities speak for themselves. Your uncle got into junior high school directly through the school’s exam.”

"I can also take the school's exams."

"Okay! Tomorrow, Mom will take you to the school to see your principal."

Liu Yulan: "I heard that Qi Zhengyang is no longer the principal, and he is no longer even qualified to be a teacher."

Su Jinru naturally knew this long ago. She often went to the township government and dealt with the people there every day. She knew that a new principal had come to Daben Township Elementary School, a young man who had graduated from a teachers' college.

Su Ke: "Qi Zhengyang took that woman to the school early in the morning, then to the township government, and later to the county education bureau, saying he wanted an explanation. I don't know what kind of explanation he got, but he came back looking dejected."

Liu Yulan: "Yes! She did such a scandalous thing and still wanted to be a teacher. What kind of explanation did she expect? She certainly didn't get anything good. In the afternoon, Qi Zhengyang went to work in the production team, but that woman didn't go."

An Ran: "Why isn't my dad the principal anymore?"

Liu Yulan: "Because he was having an affair."

An Xin innocently asked, "What does 'having an affair' mean?"

Su Ke stopped him, saying, "Why do you say everything in front of the children?"

"Anran, Anxin, you'll understand when you grow up."

An Xin looked completely innocent.

"Today at daycare, one of my friends said my dad is a slut. Now I want to know, what does 'slut' mean?"

Liu Yulan glared at her husband.

“It’s not a good thing for children to know nothing. They should know what they need to know, otherwise they won’t even know what they’re being insulted by.”

An Xin: "Grandma, is 'having an affair' an insult?"

"Yes! Your father is such a scoundrel. He didn't want such a good woman as your mother. He went out and messed around with other women. He's immoral, he's hurting himself and others. He even ruined his good job."

Anger flashed in An Ran's eyes: "I hate him."

Su Jinru found it strange. She and Qi Zhengyang had been divorced for over a year, and the child's maternal grandmother often scolded Qi Zhengyang in front of the child. But An Ran had never said he hated his father like this before.

He must have been ridiculed by the children at school.

"Anran, did your dad get teased by other classmates at school today?"

An Ran's eyes were filled with tears.

Su Jinru pulled her son into her arms, wiped away his tears, and held his little hand.

Did your classmate hit you?

An Ran shook her head.

Did he insult you?

Anran nodded.

"How do you react when he insults you?"

An Ran shook her head.

"In the future, no matter who bullies you outside, don't be afraid, don't tolerate it, be smart, and know how to assess the situation. For example, if someone attacks you, if you can beat them up, then beat them up properly. If you can't beat them up, then run away, or ask for help from outsiders, such as teachers or classmates. If the other party doesn't attack you but just insults you, you need to learn how to argue back."

Su Jinru said to An Xin, "Especially An Xin, if others laugh at you, as a girl, you shouldn't easily fight back, because you can't beat them and you'll easily suffer losses. You need to learn how to argue."

Su Ke: "Aru, how could you teach a child to argue and fight?"

"Dad, we can't let people bully us for nothing! Living a miserable life will only hurt your health."

Liu Yulan: "Yes, we can't let ourselves be bullied. If we can beat them, we fight; if we can't, we argue."

An Xin: "How do you argue?"

Su Jinru: "Be very fierce in attitude, and very loud in voice. If someone insults you once, you insult them ten times back. Have you learned that?"

An Xin: "What do you mean by 'very fierce'?"

Su Jinru: "The same sentence, said in a calm tone, is called stating the facts, but said in a very fierce tone, is called arguing. Let me imitate it."

Su Jinru put her hands on her hips and said, "You're the one who's a slut. Your father is a slut, your mother is a slut, your whole family is a slut."

Then, in a soft and submissive tone, she repeated what she had just said.

The same words were spoken twice, but the feeling and momentum they conveyed were completely different.

An Xin clapped her little hands.

"I know, I know, I know how to argue with people now."

Su Jinru said with a smile, "Come on, show us what you would say if a classmate said, 'An Xin, your father is a womanizer'?"

An Xin put her left hand on her hip, pointed at the other person with her right hand, and said aggressively, "You're the slut, your mother is a slut, your father is a slut, your whole family are sluts."

An Xin's imitation was so lifelike that her choice of words and attitude even surpassed Su Jinru's performance, causing everyone to burst into laughter.

Su Jinru smiled and said, "Yes, yes, that's right. Don't be afraid of others bullying you, and don't be afraid of arguing. After arguing a few times, you'll be able to understand the secrets."

Su Jinru said to her son, "Anran, you are a man, so you shouldn't be afraid of arguing or fighting. You can't bully others first, but if someone bullies you, you have to bully them back. Don't be a coward, understand?"

Anran nodded.

The next morning, Su Jinru accompanied her son to school. She found the young Principal Zhao and told him that she wanted her son to skip a grade.

Principal Zhao initially disagreed.

He didn't believe that a child who had only attended primary school for less than a year could be self-taught.
