On September 1st, Cen Huaian reported to school. He no longer had to go to preschool and went directly to the first grade at the primary school affiliated with the institute.
When Chuxia took him to school to pay tuition, he was admitted easily because Cen Huaian was the child of a researcher at the research institute.
The affiliated primary school was originally established to facilitate the children of researchers to go to school, so naturally no one would block anything.
There are more things to learn in the first grade of elementary school, but Cen Huaian knows most of them. He has already mastered the pinyin taught by the teacher.
On the first day, Cen Huaian went home and flipped through the book and said to Chu Xia, "Mom, the first grade content is so simple."
Chuxia saw that Cen Huaian was not interested in first-grade life. She always knew that An An was a genius and he liked challenging things.
For example, Go, Sudoku, and some difficult math problems.
If Cen Huaian wasn't so young, Chu Xia would consider letting him skip a grade. But he started school earlier than other children, and if he skipped a grade, there would be no one of his age around him. Chu Xia didn't want An An to not be able to make friends in class because of his young age.
"How are your classmates?"
Cen Huaian thought for a moment and said, "They are a little older than when they were in preschool, but some people still cry."
Not only were there those who cried, but there were also those who didn’t know how to attend class and continued to wander around the school, and there were also those who didn’t know how to go to the toilet.
Before every class on this day, the teacher would go out to catch the students.
Chuxia covered the schoolbag in her hand and said, "You are only six years old now. If you skip a grade and go to the second grade, everyone will be older than you, and you may not be able to make friends."
It's not just that he can't make friends. It's possible that some older kids think An An is weak and bully him. This is not impossible.
Cen Huaian thought for a while and said, "Mom, I don't think I can make friends in the first grade."
Cen Huaian didn't like many of the things that first-grade kids played with, and he couldn't play with them. In the preschool class at Experimental Primary School, An An also had no close friends except for his deskmate.
Cen Huaian's friends are mostly those outside the school. For example, now he likes to play with Hong Youxuan. They both love playing Go, and Hong Youxuan has a steady personality. The two of them play Go and discuss for a whole morning without realizing it.
When Chu Xia heard what An An said, she frowned and felt a little sad. In fact, sometimes a genius may not live a happier life than an ordinary child.
Chu Xia lowered her head to look at Cen Huaian's expression. He didn't care whether he had friends or not. He looked calm. Chu Xia fell into deep thought.
Her original plan was to have An An go to school step by step before the third grade of elementary school. After the third grade, when he was older, if he felt the courses were too easy, he could skip a grade.
But now it was obvious that he didn't like the first grade. Chu Xia touched Cen Huaian's head and said, "Wait until your father comes back, I will discuss it with him..."
Chu Xia paused and continued, "If your father agrees with you skipping a grade, your father and I will take you to the principal and let you skip to the second grade."
Cen Huaian just went home and told his mother about his troubles. He didn't know that he could skip the first grade and go directly to the second grade. He blinked and asked, "Mom, can I go directly to the second grade?"
