Chapter 81: Skipping A Grade, Military Training

Chu Xia nodded, "If you can pass the grade-skipping exam."

In the evening, when Cen Zhengnian came back, Chu Xia told him about the idea of having An'an skip a grade.

Cen Zhengnian paused as he was taking off his coat, then naturally hung it up and said, "Skip a grade? Isn't An'an a bit too young for that?"

Chu Xia said, "If he only skips one grade, the age difference with his classmates won't be too big."

Cen Zhengnian pondered for a moment, then turned and said, "I'll go talk to An'an."

Chu Xia was more familiar with An'an's learning progress because she had been taking care of him. Many things An'an learned were taught by her, and she knew that skipping to the second grade now wouldn't be a problem.

Cen Zhengnian, on the other hand, was not as familiar with An'an's academic progress, but he also knew that An'an was different from an ordinary six-year-old.

Cen Huai'an, familiar with the characters he knew, could look up words in the dictionary on his own. He had completed many Sudoku books, a feat that not many six-year-olds could accomplish.

"An'an, Mom told me that you want to go directly to the second grade?"

Cen Huai'an was in his room, with two dogs lying at his feet. With one hand patting Huangzi, he looked at a comic book with the other. Currently, he was reading "Water Margin."

Upon hearing Cen Zhengnian's voice, Cen Huai'an closed the comic book and looked at Cen Zhengnian seriously. He responded with a thoughtful "Hmm," saying, "I've learned everything from the first grade."

Cen Zhengnian took the textbooks placed on Cen Huai'an's desk, randomly flipped to the end of the math book, and asked him a math question.

Without hesitation, Cen Huai'an gave the answer, saying, "Dad, I told you I know everything." He patted the heads of Huangzi and Heizi.

Putting the book down, Cen Zhengnian knew that An'an already knew the material, but he still wanted to test him. Skipping a grade required an exam; it wasn't as simple as choosing the grade you wanted to attend.

Now completely reassured, Cen Zhengnian, with a smile in his eyes, looked at An'an playing with the two dogs and said, "Tomorrow, I'll take you to meet the principal."

Cen Huai'an's eyes lit up at this moment, and he immediately looked up at Cen Zhengnian, asking, "Dad, don't you have to go to work?"

"I can go a bit later in the morning."

Chu Xia, applying snowflake ointment to her face, heard Cen Zhengnian saying he would go to An'an's school tomorrow. She spoke up, "I'll only go to school in the afternoon tomorrow. In the morning, I can take An'an."

Cen Zhengnian walked over to her, his eyes on Chu Xia's hair. His hand rested on the end of her hair, and with a slight movement of his fingers, her carefully arranged hair scattered in an instant.

"An'an skipping a grade is a big deal. I am his dad. Many things in the past I haven't been involved in, but now that he's studying by my side, I don't want to be absent in his life."

Listening to Cen Zhengnian's somewhat subdued voice, feeling her hair being gently combed by him, Chu Xia reached out and held his other hand, saying, "Alright, I'll go along with your decision."

The next day, Cen Huai'an was exceptionally excited. After taking the dogs for a run, completing the tasks assigned by the martial arts teacher, he returned with a joyful expression.

"When are we going to school, Mom?"

Chu Xia handed him a boiled egg and casually stirred the porridge with a spoon, saying, "After we eat. We have to wait until it's time for you to go to school; otherwise, we'll get to your school, and it hasn't opened yet."
