Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Chen Ping was at a loss for words when it came to finding Princ.i.p.al Chen. In his opinion, letting a three-year-old go to primary school was a joke.
Therefore, he was afraid that Princ.i.p.al Chen would scold him if he said it out loud. Chen Ping’s mouth opened and closed. It was as if the words were stuck in his throat and he couldn’t spit them out no matter how hard he tried.
Chen Meng’er looked at her father’s conflicted expression and sighed in her heart. This matter, it was still her who opened her mouth. If she was counting on her father… she would probably have to wait until the sun set today. “Grandpa Chen, my father and I came to look for you today because of my elementary school matter.”
When Princ.i.p.al Chen heard Chen Meng’er’s words, he thought that he had misheard. “What? Meng’er, I didn’t mishear, right? You said that you came with your father today because of your elementary school matter?”
!!
Chen Meng’er nodded her head firmly in the face of Princ.i.p.al Chen’s gaze that said that he must have misheard.
“No, Meng’er, how old are you this year?” Princ.i.p.al Chen asked.
“Three years old. I’m three years old today.” Chen Meng’er answered with a serious expression.
“Meng’er, if you are in elementary school, you have to be seven years old.” Princ.i.p.al Chen finished speaking. He raised his head and looked at Chen Ping. “Little Ping, is Meng’er talking about the purpose of your visit today?”
“Yes, it’s about this matter.” Chen Ping nodded and said under Princ.i.p.al Chen’s stern gaze.
“Nonsense, what nonsense. Meng’er is still young, so it’s fine if she doesn’t know.” Princ.i.p.al Chen glared at Chen Ping and criticized.
“Uncle Chen, I know everything you said. But I told Meng’er, and she still insisted. I’m afraid that we, husband and wife, are stupid. I said something wrong and hurt Meng’er’s heart, so I thought of bringing Meng’er to your place and letting you talk to her.” Chen Ping told him the purpose of bringing Chen Meng’er here.
“Is that so?” Princ.i.p.al Chen felt that what Chen Ping said was right, “Meng’er, it’s not mom and dad. It’s not that Grandpa Chen doesn’t want you to go to school. It’s that you’re not old enough to go to school yet. When you’re old enough, Grandpa Chen will welcome you to school.” Princ.i.p.al Chen advised Chen Meng’er earnestly.
If it were any other child, Princ.i.p.al Chen would probably have surrendered after saying this. However, the person in front of Princ.i.p.al Chen was not anyone else, but Chen Meng’er, a person who had been reborn. In addition, she was determined to enter primary school today.
“Grandpa Chen. I know there’s a special situation.” Chen Meng’er tugged at the corner of Princ.i.p.al Chen’s shirt and blinked her eyes as she looked at Princ.i.p.al Chen and said.
“What special situation?” Princ.i.p.al Chen and Chen Ping asked in unison.
“Aren’t students with good grades allowed to skip grades? Then if my grades are good, won’t I be able to enter the school earlier?”
Looking at Chen Meng’er’s serious little face, Princ.i.p.al Chen was at a loss for words. Chen Meng’er looked at Princ.i.p.al Chen, who was stumped by her words, she continued, “Then Grandpa Chen, you can take my exam. If my grades are good, you can let me go to school with Xuan. If my grades aren’t good, I won’t go to school. I’ll wait until I’m old enough to go to school.”
Chen Meng’er was taking a step back in order to advance. Princ.i.p.al Chen also felt that Chen Meng’er’s suggestion was not bad. The reason why Princ.i.p.al Chen felt that it was not bad was because he felt from the bottom of his heart that it was impossible for a three-year-old brat like Chen Meng’er to pa.s.s his a.s.sessment. “Alright. Since Meng’er has made such a suggestion, then we’ll do as Meng’er says.”
When Chen Meng’er saw that her suggestion had been accepted, she was so happy that she clenched her fists in her heart.
“Yeah!”
