(No system, no cheat, no troublesome relatives, no CP.) Li Yu was very capable. Her childhood spent as a 'left-behind child' made her yearn more for home and a life of financial freedom. La...
Shishu was Jiang Yueyin's servant, and he quickly brought in a set of bowls and chopsticks.
Jiang Yueyin said to Lin He: "Sit down and eat something so you don't have to go to the cafeteria. I have something to tell you."
Lin He sat down as he was told.
After eating, Lin He asked, "Master, will I attend class with the brothers this afternoon?"
"You've just entered school, so logically you should be in Class C and taking classes with the introductory students, but looking at your last test results.
The introductory courses should not be too difficult for you, so start with Class B. After you have mastered Class B, you can pass the exam to enter Class A. Students in Class A are all preparing for the Tongsheng exam.
So you have to work hard and strive to get into Class A as soon as possible."
Lin He quickly stood up and saluted.
"Students must study hard and keep the master's teachings in mind," he said.
Jiang Yueyin reminded him again: "Don't just study blindly. If you don't understand something, you can ask me or my classmates. Go ahead, I'll ask the secretary to take you to the Yi character class."
"Shishu, come in and take this student Lin to Class B."
The young man came in and said to Lin He, "Classmate, follow me."
Lin He took his leave and followed the secretary.
When he arrived at the class, the secretary said to him, "Sir, come in. This is Class B."
Lin He clasped his fists and bowed to him, thanking him: "Thank you for leading the way, young man."
The secretary just said that it was his job and turned away.
Mingde Academy only has one teacher, Jiang Yueyin. Although there are three classes, and they all learn different things, the students are not large, with only about twenty people in each class.
Class A has a lesson in the morning and is given homework after class.
While Class A was doing their homework, Jiang Yueyin went to give a lecture to Class B and assigned homework after finishing the lecture.
The same goes for Class C.
Class C is basically an introductory class, so most of the time it is about learning to read and practicing writing.
Jiang Yueyin felt that she could handle this kind of teaching mode with ease.
When Lin He arrived at Class B, it was almost time for class and most of the students were already sitting in their seats.
As soon as Lin He entered the room, Li Yiran and Liu Yang, whom he had met at the dormitory door before, saw him.
Liu Yang quickly said to Li Yiran: "Dude, look, there's a new student in our dormitory, Class B."
Li Yiran took a look and lowered his head to fiddle with his cricket, showing no interest at all.
Lin He didn't know where to sit when he entered. When he was about to find an empty seat at the back, he heard someone calling him, "Lin He, buddy, come here.
It's us, Liu Yang and Li Yiran. Remember? We were at the dormitory door not long ago." Liu Yang said as he waved to him.
Lin He of course remembered them and walked over to greet them: "I remember, classmate Liu, classmate Li."
Liu Yang said with a smile: "Come sit over here, the seat behind us is empty, no one is there."
Lin He thanked him.
The classmates looked at them and whispered, probably thinking that they were just entering Class C and that they had gotten in through the back door. Of course, Lin He didn't take it to heart.
He came here just to learn.
It was time for class, and Lin He saw Jiang Yueyin walking in with a book in his hand.
He didn't start the lecture, but first introduced Lin He to everyone: "Classmates, we have a new student today, Lin Helin. Lin, please say hello to everyone."
Lin He stood up and saluted: "Although you are younger than me, you all entered school earlier than me. I will shamelessly call you senior brothers. Hello, senior brothers, my name is Lin He. I am from Yangshulin Village."
Seeing Master Jiang nod, Lin He sat down.
Master Jiang continued, "I know that recently everyone in the school has been saying that I got Lin He a backdoor. He was 16 years old and had never been to school before, yet he was able to pass the exam and get in. Not only did he pass the exam, but he also went straight to the Class B.
I'm going to make it clear to everyone that I didn't know him at all before he came to take the exam. He didn't go to school because his family was poor, but he had been taught by his mother at home and knew all the characters. He had memorized the Three Character Classic and the Analects of Confucius, which are the basic elementary texts.
Because I had never listened to the teacher's lectures, I didn't understand a lot of his ideas. But during the test, I found that he was able to guess and got a lot of them right.
Now you understand why I asked him to come to Class B. Guys, be careful and work hard, don't let the newcomers surpass you.
That would be really embarrassing.”
Jiang Yueyin talked so much about Lin He in one breath. Many of the contemptuous looks towards Lin He before have now all changed. Even Li Yiran, who has always been indifferent to others and has no interest in Lin He, looked up at Lin He.
"Alright, alright, let's get started. Lin He, let me warn you, in addition to listening to the lectures, you also have to put in the effort to practice your calligraphy. You shouldn't have any major problems with your schoolwork, but writing is a different story. Practice makes perfect, and you probably haven't practiced much at home. Make sure you put in the effort."
Lin He quickly agreed.
