Fu Weiyi arrived at the classroom door and just in time heard a series of "wows" from inside. She smiled knowingly and coughed dryly to let everyone know that she was here.

Well.

Didn't hear.

It was not until she walked onto the podium that someone felt the shadow and realized she was coming.

"Student Wang Zhaozhao, please go to the principal's office first." She said to Wang Zhaozhao.

"Okay." Wang Zhaozhao nodded, feeling nervous.

Really! She wasn't that nervous during the exam, but now her heart was beating faster.

As she walked out of the classroom and up the stairs, she kept taking deep breaths, but it was of little use as she couldn't control them at all.

When I arrived at the principal's office, my heart was pounding and my legs felt a little trembling.

"Host, are you okay?" The system was 'blasted' out by her heartbeat.

"Do I look okay? I feel like my heart is going to burst out of its shell." Wang Zhaozhao tried hard to appear calm, but his voice was hoarse when he 'spoke' consciously.

It’s too exaggerated, really!

"This is the first time I know that I am such a useless person." After making a final self-deprecating remark to the system, she sat down in front of the principal.

He first glanced at Wang Sibing, then at the principal.

I have to say it or not, I don't want to admit it, but her being so nervous is a bonus! But, it's the truth.

Up to now, she has achieved a small goal that she has not announced to anyone: to study hard so that no one in her family can stop her from continuing her studies.

Now, the twenty kilograms of grain and two dollars from the first and second wives every year can be used as her living expenses, and she does not need to use it for tuition.

Moreover, her fourth uncle has a way to make money, although it cannot be made public, it is not illegal.

But as for the bonus, she just wants to say: I want it very much.

Having money and confidence, it’s that simple.

To make an inappropriate analogy, after Liu Shanhua received the 30 yuan thank-you fee from Wang Gonglai, she had the confidence to confront her mother.

"Classmate Wang Zhaozhao, what are your expectations for this exam?" When Wang Zhaozhao was thinking divergently, she heard Principal Liu ask her a question.

"Principal, I'm super nervous now, my heart is pounding..." Don't play this guessing game.

It's so torturous.

Upon hearing this, Principal Liu burst into laughter.

"I'm so happy to hear you say you're nervous."

"……"ha?

Wang Zhaozhao looked at Principal Liu in disbelief. Is this their Principal Liu? How could he have such a bad taste?

But Principal Liu said to Wang Sibing, "Look, how vivid this is... It's good to remain calm when a mountain collapses in front of you, but you have to act like a child sometimes."

Wang Zhaozhao: “……!”

Wang Sibing: “……!”

Wang Sibing also wanted to complain about Principal Liu. Was he so happy that he didn't even care about his image as a principal?

Principal Liu, perhaps understanding Wang Sibing's expression, cleared his throat and regained his composure. "The results haven't come out yet. We may have to wait a couple of days, but the bonus we were promised last year has already been approved, and the commune has also given us an additional bonus."

Then he explained that Wang Zhaozhao represented not only the school but also the commune in this exam.

Both Wang Zhaozhao and Wang Sibing could understand this. Such a big thing would definitely attract the attention of all parties. To put it bluntly, when a group of village heads sat together, someone would definitely bring up this matter. If there was no one participating in a certain village, that village head would definitely be embarrassed.

Someone might even link this to business capabilities and use it as an opportunity to make a fuss...

"I'm going to tell you guys secretly. Once the results come out, the county may hold a commendation meeting. Those who rank high may go on stage to receive awards..." Principal Liu couldn't help but whisper a piece of news.

Wang Zhaozhao couldn't help but ask with sparkling eyes, "There will be a bonus, right?"

The air quieted down for a moment.

The teacher and student looked at each other. Wang Zhaozhao was still a little naive and smiled guiltily.

Principal Liu also smiled. "Of course, the county will give out awards, the Education Bureau will give out awards, and the commune will definitely give out additional rewards. After all, participating and winning awards are two different things."

Wang Zhaozhao's heart, which had finally calmed down, began beating wildly again.

Wang Sibing was already numb.

But Principal Liu seemed to be addicted to the game. He was clearly in his office with the door closed, and he looked around.

Wang Zhaozhao and Wang Sibing were brought in unconsciously. They sat up in unison and leaned forward slightly.

"Listen to what I'm going to say next, and forget it once you leave this door." Principal Liu also leaned forward and lowered his voice.

Is that so exaggerated? Or maybe you should just stop talking about it.

Principal Liu understood Wang Zhaozhao's look and almost gave her a slap.

"Uh..." Principal Liu opened his mouth to speak, but he didn't know where to start.

He pondered for a moment, organizing his words before continuing, "There's a rumor that they might start a junior class, and this exam is just a broad assessment..."

Wang Zhaozhao and Wang Sibing looked at each other. Okay, her fourth uncle probably didn’t understand.

Normally, she wouldn't understand, and she did have some questions, "What is the Junior Class? Where can I find it?"

Is it a university?

"It's hard to say for sure, but there will probably be special training and then evaluation..." Principal Liu said it very vaguely.

Wang Zhaozhao smiled and understood.

They should select a group of children, put them in special training classes, and then let them take the college entrance examination and go directly to university.

Just...a beating heart and trembling hands.

Principal Liu secretly expressed his satisfaction, thinking that he had said enough. "Alright! Now, as for the bonus, do you want to claim it privately, or wait until the whole university comes together to claim it?"

"Privately."

Wang Zhaozhao and Wang Sibing said in unison.

Principal Liu smiled, and although he felt a little regretful, he also expressed understanding.

"I mentioned applying because the bonus has been upgraded. So, the school and the commune will each award five yuan, along with some school supplies. Since you'll be in fifth grade next semester, the set square, compass, and pen are directly awarded. Plus, you'll get two dictionaries..."

"Wow……"

Principal Liu took out one by one. A small dictionary was very eye-catching, and the last two super thick dictionaries made Wang Zhaozhao exclaim in surprise.

If she didn't have to maintain her persona, she might have jumped up and pounced on him.

They are "XX Dictionary" and "English-Chinese Dictionary".

"Thank you, Principal." Wang Zhaozhao stood up and bowed directly.

Principal Liu is really... so thoughtful.

Last time at the recycling station, she found an English-Chinese dictionary that was so tattered that it looked terrible. Was it something that Principal Liu prepared specially for?

"No need to thank me, just study hard." Principal Liu was extremely pleased.

When the bonus was taken out, Wang Zhaozhao's eyes lit up, but when the two dictionaries were taken out, her eyes lit up even more.

That's good, very good.
