"Good grief." Zhu Yanyi froze. "Who brainwashed you to say that? I’ll beat her up later."
Zhu Zhibin giggled. "Grandpa said it. He said Sister is a little fox. Does Sister Ani want to beat Grandpa?"
Zhu Yanyi was speechless. Beating Grandpa? She’d be struck by lightning. She glared at Zhu Zhibin. "I think you’re doing this on purpose to annoy me."
The whole family ate together, laughing and chatting happily. Zhu Shun Yao and Xie Xinlian felt satisfied. With these three children, their lives were not in vain.
After dinner, the three siblings started their homework. Each had different tasks, but they all worked seriously. Thanks to their advanced learning abilities, they finished quickly. What took others three or four hours, they completed in less than an hour. After packing up, Zhu Yanyi decided to visit Xie Zhong. It was only right to greet her after returning.
Zhu Yanyi and Zhu Zhibin went with her. The three siblings walked slowly toward the Xie house.
They chatted casually as they walked. Zhu Yanyi said, "Doumiao is now in the nine-year compulsory education system. She won’t need to take the primary-to-middle school entrance exam. Just the graduation test."
Zhu Zhibin looked unhappy. "Sister Ani and Sister Anan are so lucky. They only need five years of primary school. I have to do six. What a waste."
"What waste? This is a sign of progress," Zhu Yanyi smiled, gently correcting her. Three years ago, when Zhu Yanyi was in third grade, the education system in Huaxia had reformed to nine-year compulsory education. She was glad she had started school early. If she had started at eight, she would have had to go through this too. That would have been a real waste of her time.
Zhu Zhibin tilted her head, looking at Zhu Yanyi and Zhu Yanli. "Sister Anan, Sister Ani, what do you think if I skip grades?"
Zhu Yanyi looked at her. "What level are you studying on your own now?"
"I’m already studying eighth-grade courses." Zhu Zhibin had a very high IQ. With her sister Zhu Yanyi guiding her, she learned easily.
Zhu Yanyi hadn’t realized she had reached middle school level. If so, keeping her in primary school was indeed boring. She skipped grades step-by-step to accumulate practical medical experience. Zhu Zhibin had no side pursuits. She said, "Okay. Once you finish self-studying ninth-grade courses, you can apply for the grade-skipping exam." Her brother was different from her. She didn’t skip grades because she needed to learn more medical knowledge, and her memory was better when young. But Zhu Zhibin was different. She focused only on studying. Keeping her in primary school seemed unfair to her. "But you should tell Grandpa first. After all, she has walked more bridges than we have."
Zhu Zhibin nodded. She looked only six, but thanks to the Spirit Spring and Zhu Yanyi’s abilities, her IQ was exceptionally high. Despite her young age, her thinking was very mature.
When they arrived at Xie Zhong’s house, Zhu Yanyi didn’t see her. She asked Qi Qiao’er, "Grandma, where is Grandpa?"
