The Burden of the 2000s (7)

The principal was crazy with joy.

Since he became the principal, he has never seen anything like this.

Both children are geniuses!

Although one can only be half a genius, this is still very powerful! !

These papers were all produced by their own teachers in their school. After they were published, they were sent to be printed. For this type of paper alone, they printed at least three types. The ones he just gave to Duan Qingen and Zheng Yuxuan were randomly picked out by him. .

So it is impossible for them to know the answers on the paper in advance.

There is only one answer. There are two geniuses in their school.

The principal couldn't stop smiling. Fortunately, he still had some sense. He knew that although he had passed the exam, he still had to observe where he would skip the next grade.

So this time he seriously pulled out the third-grade and sixth-grade general subject test papers from the test papers on the ground, handed them to Zheng Yuxuan and Duan Qingen, and asked them to continue working.

He himself said to Wang Xiuhong: "Well, please watch the two children doing the papers first, and Teacher Wang and I will go inside to discuss it."

"Hey, okay, go ahead."

Wang Xiuhong naturally has a sense of awe when facing teachers and principals, but when she saw the shocked faces of the principal and Teacher Wang just now, although she was still in awe of them, she felt a little more proud.

right! This is my son!

What a genius!

The principal took Teacher Wang into the room inside. As soon as he entered the room, the joy on his face could not be concealed. He smiled and couldn't wait to ask Teacher Wang:

"Teacher Wang, do you know what is going on with these two students in your class?"

If it were the teacher who took Duan Qingen and Zheng Yuxuan before, he might be able to tell that these two children were smart and obedient before, but they were definitely not to this extent.

But that teacher was on maternity leave, and Teacher Wang was new here, so she could only rely on her previous results.

Fortunately, when she called Zheng Yuxuan before, she looked at their scores and was able to answer them now.

"Their grades are very good, with perfect scores in almost every subject, and their rankings are among the best in the class."

Anyway, this is what is written on the score sheet, so this answer must be correct.

Teacher Wang thought for a moment, then saw the principal's pensive look on his face, and continued: "These two children are very sensible, especially Duan Qing'en, who is like a little adult and answers questions quickly. Zheng Yuxuan is also very sensible."

Although they had not been together for a day, Duan Qingen's smooth answers left a deep impression on her, and Zheng Yuxuan had also helped distribute books before.

The first-grade children are only that old, and they are happy to come to school again after a holiday. It is good if they don’t cry and make trouble, and they can help distribute books. Of course they are sensible.

Teacher Wang continued: "I haven't had much contact with Zheng Yuxuan's parents, but we also chatted with Duan Qingen's mother for a while. The two children are neighbors and grew up together. The two children did not go around to play during this holiday. During self-study at home, classmate Duan Qingen also asked her to borrow books for senior students. It may be because of this that the two children got such high scores. "

So, the conclusion came out.

The two children are already smart and sensible, and they took advantage of the holidays to study on their own, which is how they achieved such good results.

Makes sense.

The principal nodded: "Zheng Yuxuan is okay. Although she is smart, I have seen her at that level before. Duan Qingen, on the other hand, is an amazing child. Sixth grade courses cannot be completed by self-study."

Self-study of senior courses is not that simple. If you can really succeed in self-study casually, what will the teacher do?

What's more, the gap between first grade and sixth grade is really too big.

The principal felt that Zheng Yuxuan must be a smart girl, but Duan Qingen was definitely more than just smart.

"Principal, do you think we should allow our children to skip a grade?"

Principal: "Since the child is here, he has this intention. What's the use if we don't agree."

What's more, skipping a grade is not a bad thing, I'm just worried that I won't be able to keep up without laying a solid foundation. If Duan Qingen and Zheng Yuxuan master all aspects, skipping a grade would be good.

After talking to Teacher Wang, he asked Teacher Wang to come in instead of Wang Xiuhong.

This time, he asked Wang Xiuhong and Duan Qingen carefully whether the child was smarter than other children since he was a child.

Duan Qingen didn't show anything before, so Wang Xiuhong could only speak according to his own memory.

"This child was quieter than other children when he was a child. He did his homework obediently. He usually hid in the room and read books. He didn't like to go out and play with other children. Except when Yuxuan came to him, the two of them read together. I don’t talk much when I’m doing homework.”

She said hesitantly: "Although Qing En was good before, he didn't show anything. Since his father left, the child seems to be able to talk better than before. And he didn't like playing with children before, but now He often went downstairs, but I saw that he was playing with the children and he didn’t participate much. "

Because the principal asked about Duan Qingen's differences from childhood to adulthood, Wang Xiuhong gradually became uneasy: "Principal, is my son okay in this situation?"

At this moment, the principal has determined in his heart that Duan Qingen is a genius with a very high IQ: "It's okay, don't think too much, I just want to ask you, if Duan Qingen's IQ was higher than other children since he was a child, then this quiet phenomenon would happen The probability is very high. What you said may just prove that this child has been smarter than his peers since he was a child. "

He took a pen cap and an eraser from the table and showed them to Wang Xiuhong.

"I studied abroad when I was young, and one of the people I studied with at that time was a genius with a very high IQ, so I know a little bit about this."

"This pen cap is the IQ of an average child, and this eraser is the IQ of your Duan Qing'en. Children don't have anything in their minds, at most they just eat, drink, and play, but your Qing'en is different. He has a high IQ and thinks more than other children, so most of the time, he will think quietly. "

Wang Xiuhong: "But now he can talk a lot more than before, just like a little adult. Before, he didn't talk much and was very timid."

Principal: "Maybe he wasn't timid at that time, he was just observing."

"You also said before that this child was quiet before your husband died. Now he suddenly shows his sharpness, maybe because he noticed that the male elders in the family were leaving and wanted to grow up quickly to protect you. Teacher Wang also told me just now "Yes, Qing En's grades were excellent before, but why didn't he mention that he wanted to skip a grade before? Why did he propose to skip a grade now? It's because he is a genius."

The more the principal talked, the more he felt that this was the case. For a moment, he seemed to have returned to the mysterious feeling he had when he was a young man.

He continued: "So you don't have to think that this kind of thing is so surprising. It's a good thing for a child to be smart. He wants to grow up quickly. It's probably because he feels that his father is gone and only he can protect you, so you just want to grow up quickly." Just get along with him like you used to.”

Wang Xiuhong nodded her head, feeling relieved and sour and guilty at the same time.

As an adult mother, she has reached the point where her son feels sorry for her and wants to grow up quickly to protect her.

The principal just listened to what Teacher Wang said and what Wang Xiuhong said, and he has already decided in his heart that Zheng Yuxuan can still let it go, but Duan Qingen must be a genius.

Just now Wang Xiuhong said that Duan Qingen also published a book.

At such a young age, he can actually publish a book.

Even if he doesn't think like most people that those who can publish books are great writers, he also knows that publishing a book is not that easy. Even if it is a children's book, it still has to stand out from the crowd of competitors.

Such a genius actually appeared in their school.

It’s really satisfying to think about it.

When the principal was young, he devoted himself to studying for the sake of the country, so he didn't think about how prosperous they would be as Duan Qingen's elementary school alma mater in the future when Duan Qingen became a talented person.

Instead, his mind was full of the fact that such a young genius who was likely to become a pillar of the country in the future was discovered in their school.

He immediately made a decision: "Well, Ms. Wang, I will wait until the paper is finished. If there are no problems, I will ask the child's opinion. If he really wants to go to sixth grade, as long as his grades are acceptable, our school will have no problem." ”

Wang Xiuhong nodded quickly: "Okay, I'll ask him later."

The principal paused, smiled a little embarrassedly, and rubbed his hands: "Well, can you ask me what the name of the book written by classmate Duan Qing'en is? I want to take a look too."

Wang Xiuhong quickly reported the title of the book.

She doesn't read much herself, but this is a book written by her son, and she has read it several times at home these days.

"I don't know if it has been sold to us. Principal, if you want to see it, we have a sample book at home sent by the publisher. How about I ask the children to bring it over next time?"

"It's okay, it's okay. I happen to be going to the library. I'll go check it out first."

How could he have the nerve to directly read the books at the student's home?

How embarrassing.

Duan Qingen and Zheng Yuxuan outside took a lot longer to do it this time, after all, they covered all subjects.

Duan Qingen always writes like that, quickly and without any rush. He can write quickly after just glancing at the topic, as if he doesn't have to think at all.

Zheng Yuxuan, on the other hand, is relatively slower. Sometimes he will stop writing, frown and think seriously, and then start writing cautiously.

The difference between the two children can be seen at a glance.

But no one can say anything bad about Zheng Yuxuan. At her age, she can be considered a genius if she can achieve this level.

Wait until the paper is finished and the principal will mark it personally.

After the changes were completed, he announced that Zheng Yuxuan could go to the third grade and Duan Qingen could go to the sixth grade.

But he still had to make it clear.

"Although your grades are adequate, your age is still far behind the original third- and sixth-grade students. Especially you, Duan Qing'en, you are only seven years old this year, but most of the sixth-grade students are twelve years old. It’s almost twice as big as yours. Aren’t you afraid of not being gregarious after you passed?”

Duan Qingen shook his head: "I'm not afraid. As long as I'm good enough, they will be willing to join me even if I'm young."

Zheng Yuxuan also imitated Zhuma and shook his head: "I'm not afraid either."

Anyway, she is not gregarious to begin with, doesn’t she just study on her own without playing together?

This is something.

Anyway, she didn't want to play and only wanted to study. It would be best if she could graduate from college quickly and work to support her parents.

So, the two children skipped grades.

Duan Qingen's reputation as a genius was also completely established.

But because Zheng Yuxuan was following him, it was not so conspicuous.

People said that there were two students in xx Primary School who seemed to be geniuses and skipped grades directly.

Zheng Yuxuan was not a genius, but she was willing to work hard and endure hardships at a young age. In addition, the primary school courses were not very difficult, so she was able to skip to the third grade.

But at this moment, she didn't understand these. She only saw that with her skipping grades, her parents were envied by the neighbors. When people talked about their family, they didn't always talk about her father's legs and how hard her mother's life was, but how sensible and powerful her daughter was.

They said that she would definitely have a great future, go to a good university, make a lot of money and be filial to her parents.

Zheng Yuxuan could clearly see that her parents' spirits were gradually getting better. When her father went out, he no longer avoided people as if he had done something wrong. Instead, he stood with his chest and head held high, leaning on a cane and smiling as people praised her.

Even though her long-term goal of "graduating quickly to make money to support her parents" had not yet been achieved, she had tasted the sweetness and studied harder and more seriously.

At this moment, she still didn't understand that although she was not a real genius, when she made efforts, the fruits of the harvest would still fall on her head.

And Duan Qingen, he was still the same, and he was popular wherever he went.

When he first went to the sixth grade, he was particularly small among a group of teenagers and received a lot of attention.

Children in the sixth grade were more sensible than those under ten years old. Seeing Duan Qingen, an outlier, they did not laugh directly, but asked questions in a friendly manner.

The sixth-grade teachers always paid special attention to Duan Qingen.

Although they knew that Duan Qingen was a genius, such a young child, coming to the sixth grade to attend class, always made people worry that he would be bullied.

But the teacher carefully supervised for a long time, and finally found that not only did no students in the class reject Duan Qingen, but every one of them liked him very much.

Whether they were good students or poor students, they were very friendly to Duan Qingen.

The girls seemed to be because Duan Qingen was cute and always patiently explained the questions to them.

The boys were because Duan Qingen, a genius, was in their class, which gave them a lot of capital to brag about.

Of course, the most important thing was Duan Qingen himself.

This child was indeed a genius as the outside world said. No matter what people said, he could connect the topic. He had high IQ and EQ.

Recently, there was another thing that made Duan Qingen attract a wave of attention in the class. That is, the book he wrote has been sold in the city.

It is no secret that Duan Qingen has published a book.

When some children whose families are willing to pay for books bought books and went home happily to read them, they found that the author actually wrote the three words Duan Qingen. Those who didn’t know him didn’t care, and those who were in the same class with him were of course very excited.

Almost the second day after these books started to be sold, some children came to ask Duan Qingen if he wrote this book.

Duan Qingen admitted it directly.

It was not something shameful, and he did not want to play the pig to eat the tiger. Given the current situation of his family, the more famous Duan Qingen was, the better.

Sure enough, as soon as Duan Qingen admitted it.

The whole class immediately regarded him as an object of admiration.

This is publishing a book! !

Now if any of them submits their manuscripts to those publishing houses, and then they can occupy an article in the composition book after the manuscript is approved, it will be a great event that they can show off for a long time.

Duan Qingen is amazing!

This is a whole book!

No, no, because it is sold in separate volumes, there is more than one book!

This is simply amazing! !

For a while, Duan Qingen seemed to have become a celebrity in the school.

Some bad students in the upper grades (for first graders) in the school who used to bully him, let alone continue to bully him, now directly hide from Duan Qingen from a distance.

Now Duan Qingen is a big treasure in the eyes of the teacher, and they are not stupid. What if they are caught by the teacher?

Zheng Yuxuan is similar.

She was not very popular before, but after she entered the third grade, everyone was curious about her because she skipped a grade, and then because "it is said" that she and the little writer Duan Qingen who published a book are neighbors, they chased her and asked this and that.

If I want to describe it, it is that Duan Qingen has become a big star, and Zheng Yuxuan is also looked up to because she is a friend of the big star.

She doesn't think that she is a byproduct, but she is quite happy for Duan Qingen.

Before Duan Qingen skipped a grade to the sixth grade, she was worried that this little childhood sweetheart who had always been protected by her would be bullied if he left her.

Sixth grade!

They are taller than them. Even if Duan Qingen is really bullied, she can't help fight back.

Zheng Yuxuan is not worried now.

She should have known long ago that Qingen is so good at telling stories, there will be no problem.

Duan Qingen's reputation as a genius gradually spread to half of the school.

Now, no one talks about his fatherlessness anymore.

People talk about how smart this kid is, how he can skip to the sixth grade at such a young age, and even publish a book.

Does just publishing a book mean anything? Not only does it mean being a genius, it also means getting royalties.

With Duan Qing'en here, even if their family was poor before, their life will be better in the future.

Wang Xiuhong has been hearing such words more and more recently. At first, she felt a little uncomfortable with people praising her when they met her, but now she has adapted to it perfectly.

Even modest words are spoken in a very stupid way.

As "The Adventures of Lilliput" began to be sold, word spread about how good the book was. In many bookstores, children came by themselves, and adults also brought their children to buy it.

"The Adventures of Lilliput, yes, that's it. My deskmate has a copy, but he won't lend it to me, so I buy it myself."

"Let's buy them together. You buy one, I buy one, and then we switch."

The bookstore owner asked someone to look at the store in the morning and went out to stock up on goods. When he came back, he saw so many people in his bookstore and he immediately smiled.

As soon as I walked to the counter, I saw a parent with his child asking the clerk:

"Do you still have that copy of "The Adventures of Lilliput"? Is it gone?"

The clerk nodded; "It's just sold out. I'm really sorry."

After hearing this, the parent said helplessly to his child: "See, it's not that dad doesn't want to buy it for you, it's because they've sold out."

Tears immediately came to the child's eyes:

"No, no, you promised to buy it for me, and I got 90% on the test. Dad, you promised, you promised me."

"But my bookstore doesn't have it. You saw it too. I'm not trying to trick you."

"I don't, I don't, I want it. Wuwuwuwu, you bought it for me just because you said I would get 90% in the test."

The parents looked like they doted on their children, so they had no choice but to say: "Then we will go to your grandma's house today to see if there is anything for sale there."

He took the child and walked away.

The bookstore owner looked at the customers who continued to come to the counter to ask if "Adventures of Lilliput" was still available, and then left dejectedly. He felt as if he was watching big pieces of gold leave, and he felt extremely distressed.

The clerk saw the boss turning around to leave as soon as he came back, and quickly shouted: "Boss, what are you doing!"

"I'm going to buy another batch of "Adventures of Lilliput"!"

Don’t make any money? That's stupid!

It seemed like overnight, the Duan family's status suddenly rose.

Walking on the street, when Duan Qingen buys paper and pen, people will smile and touch his head. When Wang Xiuhong buys vegetables, the vegetable farmer will give him extra money. Even when he goes to the canteen to eat, the rice cook will shake his hands and bring more vegetables to Duan Qingen.

The reputation of a genius made the mother and son gain the goodwill of everyone at once.

Duan Qingen is thinking about his new book again.

His reputation as a genius not only made his classmates like him, but also made his teachers be more tolerant of him. At least the teachers pretended not to see him doing anything else in class.

After all, he is a genius, and ordinary people can understand the behavior of a genius.

As long as your test scores don't fall behind and you answer questions fluently when called upon, then it won't be a big problem.

As a result, he was able to study history smoothly.

At the moment, the publishing house doesn't know that the farmer they really want to keep in their field is still a primary school student.

In their minds, this Mr. Duan Qing'en is mysterious. He wrote directly to the editor-in-chief and requested that the checkout method be direct cash. His attitude as if he knew that the book he wrote would be a best-seller made people dare not fool him.

Now that the book is selling like hot cakes and has gained a good reputation, they offered to share the profits in order to retain Mr. Duan Qing'en.

As long as he can continue to create benefits for the publishing house, then everything they have done before will be worthwhile.

Since the last time I wrote a letter, Editor Ma has been thinking about it during the day, at night, and even in his dreams. Is Mr. Duan touched by their initiative to share profits? Will he start a second book to express his gratitude? .

This first book made their publishing house a lot of money and won a reputation. Mr. Duan Qing'en is the big rooster that lays golden eggs!

It can be seen from the past letters that he must be a talented man with a lot of knowledge in his heart and a lot of ink in his belly. Although he writes children's literature, adults will not be able to help but sink into it after reading it. If he is willing to rewrite what adults will read, Books can definitely be taken to the next level.

Editor Ma was thinking about Mr. Duan in the office, and his assistant knocked on the door just like Ji Yu: "Editor Ma, there is a letter from Mr. Duan."

He was shocked and quickly stretched out his hand, "Show me."

As soon as the letter arrived, Editor Ma quickly opened it and took a closer look. The eyebrows that had been frowning unconsciously due to worry slowly relaxed as soon as he saw the contents of the letter.

Assistant: "How is it? Did Mr. Duan say that new books are also being submitted to our publishing house?"

"As he said, he also said that his next book would be about history. Although it is still a children's book, it can also be read by adults."

Editor Ma breathed a sigh of relief as the big rooster that laid golden eggs stayed with them.

"He briefly described the content of this book in his letter. I want to say that it is strange and whimsical, but there is data to verify it. As expected, this book will be wonderful. I really want to see this Duan with my own eyes. Sir."

He sighed heavily and said with longing:

"Even though we only communicated less than ten times through letters, I could tell what kind of person he was from his words and pen."

"He must be a talented, gentle and elegant gentleman."

in elementary school

Duan Qingen was sitting by the flower bed with a book in his arms, reading. Zheng Yuxuan was playing hopscotch with his classmates. Seeing him reading again, he ran over and said crisply, "Qingen, don't always sit in the shade. Auntie said you should get more sun. Why don't you come and play hopscotch with us?"

"The talented, refined gentleman" put down the book:

"Okay, I want to play hopscotch, too."
