Su Xiaotian could understand Grandma Su's current anxiety and apprehension.
Her elderly grandparents had left their hometown for a completely unfamiliar place for the sake of their grandchildren.
Anyone would feel uneasy.
It was her fault for not thinking things through at the time.
If she had been more considerate, perhaps Grandma wouldn't be so worried now.
"Xiaotian, if you're ever wronged at school, you must tell us when you get home!"
Grandma Su wasn't afraid of anything else, only that Su Xiaotian would be bullied.
Su Xiaotian didn't think that far ahead; she spoke with great confidence.
"At school, as long as we study hard, who would dare bully us?"
Although Su Xiaotian said this, she didn't actually think that way.
She felt that if anyone dared to bully her, she would just beat them up. If they still didn't behave after one beating, she'd beat them twice.
In short, if she beat them three times a day, she was sure to subdue them!
Grandma Su had no idea that her soft and cute little granddaughter had such a violent side.
Seeing Grandma Su still looking worried, Su Xiaotian didn't know what else to say.
Since arriving in the capital, Grandma had always felt that people were looked down upon when they left their homeland!
Even the smallest things could be magnified in Grandma Su's mind.
This couldn't go on for long!
"Mom, Xiaotian is right. We earn our living by our own abilities, we don't need to worry about anything else!" Su Manxiu also comforted her mother.
She understood her mother's thoughts; her mother had been worried like this when they were in the south.
Adaptation takes time!
It could only be a gradual process!
Grandma Su sighed, "It's a good thing our family has always been kind to others, otherwise we'd probably be bullied to death now!"
Grandpa Su nodded in strong agreement.
"For this matter, we have to thank Professor Chi and Teacher Shen!"
One should not forget a kindness received!
That evening, the elderly couple decided to invite Chi Ge and Shen Zizhen over for a proper meal to express their gratitude.
The next day, the weather was clear and fine.
The morning sun cast specks of golden light.
Su Xiaotian and her siblings, carrying the schoolbags made by Grandma Su, went to school.
Chen Zi'an escorted the children to the school gate before leaving.
Su Xiaotian looked at the tall school gate of No. 7 Middle School, her face beaming with a bright smile.
To have the opportunity to study in a school in the capital in this lifetime was something she had never even imagined.
But today, she was truly about to walk into this school that had nurtured countless brilliant minds.
Speaking of middle schools in the capital, No. 7 Middle School was second to none.
It was said that students who graduated from this school were never subpar. While not all of them might attend prestigious universities, they were not far off.
"Xiaotian, what are you looking at?" Su Xiao Jiu asked curiously.
The school gate just looked taller and more impressive than the school gate of County No. 1 Middle School; there wasn't much else different.
"Ninth Brother, let's go in!" Su Xiaotian said with a smile, slowly stepping through the gates of No. 7 Middle School.
The class bell hadn't rung yet, so Su Xiaotian decided to find Principal Gu first.
Principal Gu was overjoyed to see Su Xiaotian.
This young girl was not only academically gifted but also had a good teacher; she couldn't afford to offend her.
With this thought in mind, when he heard her request to not live in the dormitory, Principal Gu did not show any dissatisfaction.
In fact, Principal Gu found a very reasonable explanation for Su Xiaotian himself.
"You have a good teacher, so you'll definitely be attending lessons in the evening, right?"
His words were tinged with a hint of flattery.
He actually wanted to ask if it would be possible to invite Elder Chi to give a lecture at the school.
But he ultimately did not voice this request.
Su Xiaotian was taken aback.
So, it was possible to interpret things this way?
"Yes, Principal Gu!" Su Xiaotian immediately nodded, indicating that his understanding was perfectly correct.
Principal Gu's face lit up with joy.
With Elder Chi personally guiding her, Su Xiaotian had a promising future!
"Alright, then you don't need to live in the dormitory. I'll arrange this!" Principal Gu's attitude was exceptionally good.
Su Xiaotian hadn't expected things to go so smoothly.
Just as she was about to express her gratitude, Principal Gu spoke again.
"Xiaotian, do your brothers also need to attend Elder Chi's lectures?"
Su Xiaotian hadn't intended to bring up her brothers' situation.
But since Principal Gu mentioned it, she casually replied, "Yes, my brothers will be going too!"
As for attending lectures, she herself wasn't attending, let alone her brothers!
However, living at school didn't seem particularly beneficial, so going home was better.
Having achieved her goal, Su Xiaotian returned to her classroom.
The gifted class Su Xiaotian was attending was Class 18 of the first year at No. 7 Middle School.
This class had one dominant characteristic: the students were young, averaging four to five years younger than students in normal classes.
The homeroom teacher of Class 18 was Huang Wenbai, a young man in his thirties.
He soon heard the news that the Su siblings would not be required to live in the dormitory.
His first reaction upon hearing this news was disbelief.
It had been previously stated that all students had to live in the dormitory; how could there be an exception now? Principal Gu wouldn't do that, would he?
But the news that spread made him have to believe it; this news might be true.
He had to go and see Principal Gu himself.
"Principal, this won't do. Special treatment for some will inevitably lead to very negative consequences!"
He had high hopes for this class and didn't want it to be ruined by someone receiving special treatment!
"Then what do you suggest I do? Are we supposed to ignore the fact that their family has such a formidable teacher?" Principal Gu glared at the teacher who had come to see him.
"A formidable teacher? Principal, throughout the capital, No. 7 Middle School's teaching staff is considered quite good. Could the Su family have a teacher more formidable than ours?" Huang Wenbai said dismissively.
Principal Gu looked at Huang Wenbai and sighed, "Teacher Huang, you are still young and don't know that there's always someone better out there!"
No. 7 Middle School's teaching staff was indeed good, but it was only good.
Compared to an old-generation great educator like Chi Ge, the difference was not insignificant.
It would be an honor to even have the chance to hear Chi Ge lecture.
But the problem now was that Su Xiaotian and the Su siblings, as long as they wished, could listen to a true master lecture at any time.
Huang Wenbai clearly did not grasp the meaning of Principal Gu's words.
"Principal, even if there's someone better out there, it wouldn't be in the Su family."
Although he already knew that the Su children's academic performance was good, they had come from the Northwest after all.
In terms of educational standards, a place like the Northwest couldn't possibly compare to the capital, right?
"Teacher Huang, have you heard of Chi Ge?" Principal Gu couldn't help but roll his eyes at Huang Wenbai.
This matter had already spread throughout the school; why didn't Huang Wenbai know about it?
Huang Wenbai couldn't recall who Chi Ge was for a moment.
"Teacher Huang, it seems you need to improve yourself!"
Seeing that Huang Wenbai couldn't recall Chi Ge's identity, Principal Gu's smile faded.
It was only then that Huang Wenbai suddenly remembered Chi Ge.
It wasn't that he hadn't improved himself; it was that Chi Ge had been living in seclusion for many years. How could he have thought of him when Principal Gu suddenly brought him up?
"Principal, what is Chi Ge's relationship with the Su siblings?"
"You know the poor teaching conditions in the Northwest. Why do the Su children have such good grades?" Principal Gu asked instead of answering.
