The Lin family's little boy returns to being eight years old, taking his family to new heights.

Seeing how much everyone loved Grandma's cooking, Lin Xi couldn't help but say, "Grandma, why don't we open a restaurant? I guarantee we'll make money."

Lin Guiying rubbed her lower back. "No, don't try to fool me. I wouldn't do it no matter how much money I make. It's exhausting."

As they spoke, they began to tidy up the gifts scattered on the ground; none of them had come empty-handed.

There wasn't enough room inside, so several boxes of canned food were piled up in the yard.

"Hey, Xiaoxi, how much did they spend on all this stuff?"

"That box of sea cucumbers cost over a thousand, the milk powder over five hundred, but the health supplements are the most expensive, a foreign brand, probably worth over ten thousand..."

"Huh?! Tens of thousands?! Xiaoxi, how about we return it and get the money back?"

Lin Guiying's lips twitched with pain. "Sigh, they brought tens of thousands of yuan worth of stuff just to eat a stew in an iron pot."

"Those animals deserved to die!"

Lin Xihao said with a smile, "Don't return them, Grandma. They're all good for your health. Remember to eat them every day, Grandpa. They're good for your health."

"What a disaster! This is practically the same as eating gold!"

……

Lin Xi has a new dream: she wants to buy a villa for her family in the city center.

It would be best to be right next to the master, to infuriate the second senior brother.

On the 26th day of the first lunar month, Lin Xi finally started school, and she had a very fulfilling holiday.

Busy making a living like an adult

Now that I suddenly have to go to school and return to a normal childhood, it feels like a lifetime ago.

The system tasks have also been updated. Now I need to run five kilometers every day, and my study task has changed from reading extracurricular books to reviewing the first semester of junior high school math.

As expected, her next task was to review one book every day until she had finished all the junior high school courses.

As soon as she stepped into the campus, she saw Lin Jing waiting for her at the gate.

Upon seeing Lin Xi, it hopped and skipped over like a little rabbit.

"Xiao Xi, I've been waiting for you for ages. Come on, I'll take you inside."

Lin Jing has been aware of this ever since her homeroom teacher told her that Lin Xi would be her deskmate.

She began to look forward to the start of school with great anticipation.

Thanks to her tireless promotion, Lin Xi had long since become a big shot in the sixth grade.

As soon as I reached the classroom door, the noisy classroom instantly fell silent.

They immediately began to whisper among themselves.

"Is that Lin Xi? Wow, she's so cute!"

"Oh my god, I really want to pinch her cheeks!"

“I told my mom that a nine-year-old girl would be joining my class, but she didn’t believe me.”

"I still can't believe it, she actually got a perfect score on her skipped-grade exam."

……

Lin Jing led Lin Xi to her seat.

I secretly introduced her to some of my classmates.

The commotion finally subsided when the school bell rang.

Su Youcai's face lit up with joy when he saw Lin Xi.

Who wouldn't want a class treasure like that?

After class, Su Youcai called Lin Xi out, but didn't say what it was about. Instead, he took her directly to the principal's office.

The old principal was over sixty years old, and the years had etched deep wrinkles on his face.

Each line seems to tell a story of the educational journey.

Lin Xi recalled that the schools would soon be merged.

From then on, there was no more Sulin Primary School, and no more former principal Su Yushan.

I couldn't help but feel a little sad.

I have the utmost respect for this elderly man who has dedicated his life to education.

She bowed before saying, "Hello, Principal."

Su Yushan's eyes narrowed into crescent moons, his face full of affection.

"Sit down, child."

Ever since he saw Lin Xi get full marks in both the grade skipping exam and the sixth-grade final exam, an idea has taken root in his mind.

Although Sulin Primary School is a lower-level school, it still has one spot in the National Mathematical Olympiad every year.

However, if there are no students who are truly outstanding, they are forced to give up their spots to others every year.

Perhaps they will finally get their revenge this year.

Do you know about the National Mathematical Olympiad?

Lin Xi nodded.

Of course I know, the bonus is very generous.

However, it's not that easy to get.

They have to go through city-level competitions and provincial-level competitions before they can advance to the national level.

They competed for the championship against the most outstanding students from various provinces and cities.

Would you like to participate?

“Principal, of course I’m willing.”

I'd be willing to do it for the prize money.

Su Yushan laughed heartily, his laughter as loud as a booming bell.

It was as if glory was already in their hands.

"Okay, starting today you don't need to listen to lectures. Just study at your own pace."

He then pointed to the books on the table.

"These are books about math olympiad, and all the textbooks from junior high school."

"I know that the sixth-grade curriculum is no longer difficult for you, so reviewing the junior high curriculum in advance will save you time."

However, you need to manage your time well, as the city-level math Olympiad competition starts in March, so you need to pay close attention.

If you have any questions, you can ask your homeroom teacher.

He participated in three National Mathematical Olympiads and won the championship each time. He has a lot of experience.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xi couldn't control her expression and immediately widened her eyes.

Are you kidding me! That's amazing! How come you're a teacher in such a remote little village?!

Su Yushan could tell what she was thinking just by looking at her expression.

"No matter how great his achievements are, they are not as valuable as helping a child leave the countryside."

Deep within Lin Xi's heart, a gentle string seemed to be plucked, resonating out in waves.

Sulin Elementary School not only cost the old principal his entire life, but also cost his two sons half their lives.

"Principal, I will only be the champion."

Lin Xi said it with absolute certainty.

Why should such good principals and teachers remain unknown their whole lives?

She wanted to announce to the world that her principal and teachers were the best.

Su Yushan looked pleased; he knew the boy hadn't been exaggerating.

"I believe in you, you can do it."

"Anything you don't understand in the junior high school textbooks, feel free to ask me. I have a basic understanding of everything except English."

"Okay, thank you, Principal."

Great! I was terrible at physics and chemistry in junior high, so it was really difficult to review them on my own.

She picked out a few math olympiad books and first-year junior high school Chinese, math, and English textbooks, and went back to her class.

Lin Jing looked at the books her sister had brought back and, even though she had already witnessed her sister's learning speed, couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Are you going to preview the junior high school textbooks? Are you going to participate in the math Olympiad?"

"Yes, I'll be quite busy lately. If you have any questions, you can ask me after class."

After all, I'm a contracted author with Youth Novel Illustrated, so I need to be more professional.

The students in front and behind looked on with envy when they heard this.

Being close to the water tower gives you an advantage; since Lin Jing is someone else's older sister, her grades skyrocketed.

Only Su Wanxin scoffed and snorted.

What are you pretending for? She doesn't believe that little girl is that capable.

After Lin Xi left, Su Yushan called Su Youcai and English teacher Li Li to his office.

"From now on, let Lin Xi study whatever she wants in class, don't worry about her."

Su Youcai nodded smugly; that was exactly what he had planned.

Regardless, it's not because the students have been abandoned.

They're just too good to be bothered with.
