The two then went to the Bund, where there were many Chinese-style sailboats on the river, which were very beautiful. Ferries shuttled between the two sides of the Huangpu River, taking farmers from Pudong to the early morning market to Puxi and taking people from Puxi to work to Pudong!

The occasional sounds of ship horns and boatmen's shouts from the river caught their attention.

I drove around for a long time and took some photos.

Back from Shanghai.

Lin Dongzhe was the first to run out to greet them.

"Uncle Zhuang, Aunt Huang, you're back!"

Xiaoting and Tunan followed behind.

"Mom and Dad, let me help you carry it!"

I bought two packs of butterfly cookies. "Song Ying, these are butterfly cookies, a specialty of Shanghai. I bought some for you to try."

Song Ying accepted the butterfly pastry. "Thank you, Sister Ling. You must be tired too. Please come inside and rest. I'll cook dinner tonight!"

After dinner, Song Ying took two jars of canned oranges from the cabinet and shared them with the three children.

The start of the school year is fast approaching.

In the classroom at the start of the new semester, the teacher is explaining the knowledge of geometric figures before the lecture.

When discussing the relationship between rectangles and rhombuses, Teacher Zhang said, "A rectangle is a special type of rhombus."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Dongzhe, who was sitting below, frowned and muttered under his breath, "A rectangle is not a special rhombus!" Although his voice was not loud, it was particularly clear in the quiet classroom.

Hearing this sudden rebuttal, the teacher stopped writing with chalk, her face darkening slightly: "Lin Dongzhe, what are you saying? Stand up!"

Lin Dongzhe stood up nervously, staring at the ground. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "A square is the special rhombus. Teacher Zhuang told us that a square is the special rhombus. I've done problems with that. Xiaoting, let's eat red bean popsicles. I even got your test paper dirty!"

Hearing Lin Dongzhe's words, Zhuang Xiaoting turned around and said, "The teacher is teaching, you can't just say it out loud!"

For a moment, the classroom became noisy as students began to whisper among themselves.

Teacher Zhang, standing on the podium, raised her voice, "Quiet, quiet!"

Afterwards, Teacher Zhang quickly flipped through the textbook in her hand and, after careful examination, found that what Lin Dongzhe said was indeed correct.

But in order to save face, Teacher Zhang made up an excuse for herself: "What the teacher said is wrong. You can raise your hand to speak. If you waste one minute, then all thirty-plus students in the class will waste more than thirty minutes. Do you know that you are wasting everyone's precious time?"

"Lin Dongzhe, look at you! You weren't paying attention in class when you were in second grade, and you only got 68 points on your math final exam. Now you're in third grade, what score are you planning to get?"

After listening to the teacher's words, Lin Dongzhe lowered his head slightly and looked at the book in front of him, his fingers unconsciously stroking the pages. After thinking for a moment, he looked up at the teacher and said, "Teacher, teacher, I can get ninety points!"

Lin Dongzhe was asked to leave his answer sheet after class for arguing with the teacher.

After all the other students went home, Lin Dongzhe and the students on duty stayed in the classroom.

After receiving the test paper from Teacher Zhang, Lin Dongzhe picked up a pencil and began to answer the questions seriously.

The only sound in the classroom was the scratching of his pencil tip across the paper.

Xiaoting stood quietly at the door watching Lin Dongzhe, feeling somewhat worried.

Lin Dongzhe quickly finished writing the answer sheet and handed it to the teacher.

The teacher watched Lin Dongzhe writing on the test paper so diligently, and then noticed that he got them all right!

She could hardly believe that Lin Dongzhe, who had only scored 68 points in math on the last semester's final exam, had mastered the third-grade curriculum in such a short time.

To confirm further: "Lin Dongzhe, please write down the last major question again."

Lin Dongzhe silently picked up his pencil and began writing again.

He finished it smoothly in no time.

The teacher still couldn't believe that this troublemaker could have made such great progress, so he went to his desk and carefully examined it. Apart from some textbooks and stationery, he didn't find anything that could be used for cheating.

Teacher Zhang looked at Lin Dongzhe, thought for a moment, and then said, "Lin Dongzhe, go and call your parents over!"

,,,,,,,

Zhuang Chaoying was walking home from get off work when she ran into Song Ying and Lin Dongzhe, who were both dressed in striking red shirts. "Song, Dongzhe, what are you two doing?"

"Teacher Zhuang, I need to go to the Academic Affairs Office. I don't know what this little rascal has done wrong this time. Going to the Academic Affairs Office has become a regular occurrence for me."

"Then go quickly!"

Zhuang Chaoying returned home, put down her briefcase, and went straight to the kitchen to help Huang Ling.

"Chao Ying handed me the greens."

Zhuang Chaoying held the bowl of vegetables. "Ah Ling, Xiao Song and Lin Dongzhe went to the Academic Affairs Office again!"

Huang Ling took the vegetables, poured them into the pot, and stir-fried them a few times with a spatula. "Could it be that Lin Dongzhe has done something wrong at school again?"

Zhuang Chaoying shook her head. "That's not necessarily true. Dongzhe is a smart kid; maybe something good is going to happen."

Huang Ling pouted. "I don't believe anything good can happen. If Song Ying beats up Dong Zhe later, we have to help stop her. Engineer Lin is working overtime and isn't home, you hear me, Tu Nan, Xiao Ting!"

"it is good!"

Zhuang Chaoying moved the table and set it in the yard.

Then she went back to the kitchen, carrying the dishes. "Xiaoting, go get the bowls and chopsticks for your mother!"

Zhuang Chaoying had just placed the dishes on the table when she heard someone calling her. "Teacher Zhuang! Teacher Zhuang!"

Song Ying excitedly ran into the yard and grabbed Lin Dongzhe's arm.

"Teacher Zhuang, Sister Ling, I have good news for you. Teacher Zhang has suggested that Dongzhe skip a grade and go straight to fourth grade!"

Huang Ling stared wide-eyed at Song Ying. "Song Ying, what did you say?"

Not only Huang Ling was stunned, but Tu Nan Xiaoting also stood rooted to the spot, looking at Song Ying, then at Lin Dongzhe, and then at Zhuang Chaoying.

"Skip a grade! Teacher Zhang suggests Dongzhe skip a grade!"

Huang Ling stammered. "He... Dongzhe... he skipped a grade? Ah~~?"

"Teacher Zhang gave Dongzhe a third-grade worksheet, saying that Dongzhe has completely mastered the third-grade curriculum."

Song Ying held Huang Ling's hand. "Teacher Zhang suggested that I apply to the school for a formal test. If I pass, I can go directly to fourth grade! The teachers all think Dongzhe will be fine!"

Zhuang Chaoying laughed. "Dongzhe, do you want to go straight to fourth grade? Or we can have Xiaoting accompany Dongzhe to skip a grade. She taught them the third-grade curriculum during the holidays, and they've basically learned it all. When she taught Pengfei the fourth-grade curriculum, they listened in and learned some of it too."

Song Ying couldn't stop smiling. "Teacher Zhuang, thank you so much for your guidance. Dongzhe was trained by you. If Wu Feng knew that Dongzhe could actually make it this far, he would be overjoyed."

"Teacher Zhuang, I still need to ask for your opinion. Should we skip a grade?"

Zhuang Chaoying looked at Xiaoting and Dongzhe. "Dongzhe and Xiaoting are very smart. I think they'll be fine in fourth grade."

Hearing what Teacher Zhuang said, Song Ying excitedly hugged Xiaoting and Lin Dongzhe together. "Haha, Xiaoting and Dongzhe are in the same class again! They're inseparable, like a kitchen knife and a chopping board, and they can go to fourth grade together again. That's wonderful!"

Huang Ling separated them. "Alright, let's eat. You can't be so happy that you don't even eat, right, Dongzhe!"

Lin Dongzhe nodded. "Yes, eating is the most important thing!"

Song Ying slapped Dong Zhe on the head. "All you ever do is eat!"

"Mom, you've made me stupid, now I can't skip grades!"

Song Ying quickly grabbed Lin Dongzhe's head. "Yes, yes, it was Mom's fault. She shouldn't have hit his head; she should have pinched his face instead!"

"mom!"
