Chapter 3737 [Update 1]

The students in Class Three don’t understand the expectations of other classes for the monthly exam. After all, Teacher Wang has never attracted hatred from other classes. Teacher Wang only encourages them with encouragement.

Teacher Wang is a very energetic teacher with a high passion for teaching.

From morning reading at six in the morning to evening self-study at nine thirty in the evening, he can maintain a high level of energy throughout the day and is full of energy every day, like a fighting chicken ready to fight at any time.

His state also affects the learning state of students in Class 3, as if they are always prepared.

He taught his students whenever he had the chance. Even when he met students from Class 3 passing by during breaks, he would ask them in English about what they had learned that day or yesterday, and ask them to answer him in English. It didn't matter whether your answer was good or not, he insisted that you speak. If you didn't speak, he would keep staring at you and asking questions.

He will also write some conversation sentences related to the words learned previously based on what has been learned that day, and stick them on the side of the blackboard, so that you can study and review anytime and anywhere.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t remember the words and sentences you have learned. Just walk past the blackboard wall, take a look, and casually ask the classmates around you a question. Through question and answer, you can practice speaking and review what you learned yesterday.

Even the students in Class 3 who were originally not interested in English, did not like English, and did not like to memorize words, had to roll up when the head teacher could conduct random checks at any time and anywhere, which made the atmosphere of learning English in Class 3 of Grade 1 become more intense.

This also means that they are not nervous at all when facing the upcoming monthly exams.

I don't know if other subjects were stressful or not, but English was definitely not. Even He Xiaofang, who ranked last in English in the class, felt that she would not do badly in the exam after her daily English conversations with Jiang Ning.

It is also the learning atmosphere of Class 3, where people speak English anytime and anywhere, that makes the eyes of Class 1 and Class 2 look at Class 3 with murderous intent when they pass by them.

After all, Teacher Liu is not the head teacher of Class 1 and Class 2. The time he spends in Class 1 and Class 2 is limited. It is totally impossible for him to keep the class in a learning atmosphere where students can practice English at any time like Teacher Wang does.

The head teacher of Class 1 is the math teacher, and the head teacher of Class 2 is the Chinese teacher. These two teachers wish all the unimportant elective subjects were used to teach Chinese and math.

If nothing unexpected happens, when the students are divided into arts and science classes in the second year of high school, the two head teachers of Class 1 and Class 2 will definitely be the head teacher of the key arts class and the key science class in the second year of high school.

"Ningningningning, look at them, are they looking at you again?" He Xiaofang was sitting in the first group near the window. She was very sensitive to other people's eyes, not to mention that they were looking at Jiang Ning, the person she cared about the most.

Every time Class One and Class Two passed by their class, she would notice them immediately and naturally would not miss the look they gave Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning, who had no idea that he was being hated by another class's English teacher, looked out the window nonchalantly: "Don't worry about them, just read your book. Have you finished your math problems?"

He Xiaofang, who also had a headache with math, physics and chemistry, wailed and buried her head in her math book: "Math is so difficult! Physics is so difficult! Chemistry is also so difficult!"

She really wanted to cry!

She studied very hard and managed to get into No. 1 Middle School.

When she was in junior high school, she surpassed other students with her hard work and effort. When she reached high school, all of them were top 30 students in their grade in various township middle schools. She was sandwiched between these truly smart top students and was suddenly drowned out. This made her already unconfident state become even more inferior and unconfident.

Especially since she is with Jiang Ning and Xu Xiuli every day, she can truly feel the difference in IQ.

It took her a long time to understand a question, but Jiang Ning and Xu Xiuli could master it effortlessly after listening to it once. However, she needed Jiang Ning to explain it to her over and over again, breaking it down and explaining it to her several times before she could fully understand it. She was very frustrated.

But seeing that Jiang Ning was so smart and working so hard, she raised her head and continued to roll!

Xu Xiuli turned around and saw He Xiaofang's face full of pain. She couldn't help but pursed her lips and thought it was funny, then continued to do the questions.

The teachers at No. 1 Middle School are very tricky and schedule the monthly exam on Friday.

Originally, students did not have to attend evening self-study classes on Friday nights, but now they have an extra evening self-study time. Teachers can use the evening self-study time to finish the monthly exams in one day, and then use the weekend and National Day holidays to mark the exam papers, and send the exam papers to students when classes start on Tuesday.

For Jiang Ning, the monthly exam was no different from the weekly classroom quizzes, and she completed it very easily.

After each exam, He Xiaofang liked to check answers with Jiang Ning. Jiang Ning's answer was always, "I've finished the exam. What's there to check? Have you finished reviewing for the next subject?"

He Xiaofang, who always felt like she would never finish reviewing, screamed and quickly took out her book to read.

Xu Xiuli looked at He Xiaofang in a soft voice and said gently: "Xiaofang, you can come to me for the answer, and I will tell you."

He Xiaofang sternly refused: "I don't want it. I will never ask you for the answer even if you kill me."

Jiang Ning knew that what she wrote was wrong but she would only encourage and comfort her, while Xu Xiuli's answer would only discourage her.

Xu Xiuli couldn't help but smile when she saw her expression.

When having dinner in the evening, she met Jiang Bai in the cafeteria, and Jiang Bai came over and asked her if she wanted to go home tomorrow.

Jiang Ning’s first reaction was, where does she have a home?

Then I thought of my grandfather and his little house on the mountain.

Grandpa’s cabin on the mountain does not belong to him, but to the forest ranger.

After her grandfather passed away, the hut that carried her childhood memories was taken back by the brigade and handed over to the next forest ranger. All traces of her and her grandfather in the hut disappeared without a trace with the move of the new ranger.

She nodded and said, "Yes."

"Then I'll go back with you."

Jiang Bai wanted to take advantage of the two-day holiday to go back quickly and bring some food back to school. If Jiang Ning continued to eat the way she did, he was afraid that Jiang Ning would have eaten up all the food coupons before the end of the semester, and he would have to go hungry then.

He knew too well how hungry it felt. It was so unpleasant.

His sister was still young and didn't know much. She spent the food coupons as she pleased, but he couldn't help but consider her future food problem.

He said, "Then we'll leave tomorrow morning."

The minibus will be waiting at the school gate in the morning. If you miss it, you have to go to the bus station by yourself.

It would take nearly an hour to walk to the station and the bus would cost fifty cents.

Because of the monthly exam, which lasted until 9 p.m. on Friday, all the students who had originally gone home on Friday evening had to move to Saturday morning.

"Not in the morning." Jiang Ning thought for a moment and said, "I can probably leave at ten o'clock."

She had to take advantage of Saturday morning to write a manuscript of more than 10,000 words for Wang Yong. She had been busy with the monthly exams these days and had no time to write. During the three-day National Day holiday, she had to go home to pick up her grandfather to go to Shanghai for a physical examination. She might not have time to write, so she had to write more tomorrow morning.

Wang Yong knew that Jiang Ning had a monthly exam, and he had a lot of manuscripts in storage, and he didn't need to waste time on the road to receive the manuscripts via email, so Wang Yong told Director Li that he would wait until after Jiang Ning's monthly exam before writing the manuscript.

After knowing that Jiang Ning was a high school student, Director Li had already prepared himself mentally for this. This was only the first year of high school. In the second and third years, there would be even less time to write. By then, "The Great Song" should have been finished, right?

At that time, there was no concept of the National Day holiday. There was only one day off for National Day, and with the weekend, there were only three days.

"Then I'll wait for you downstairs tomorrow morning."

"Wait for me at the school gate."

Because of the school's rule that prohibits male and female students from getting together, when Jiang Ning and Jiang Bai were talking, He Xiaofang and the others were sitting far away in the girls' area, watching and could not hear what they were saying.

He Xiaofang thought that Jiang Ning would not go home during the National Day. When she thought that she and Jiang Ning would be the only ones left in the dormitory for the next three days, she was so happy that she almost jumped up. She got up very enthusiastically to help Xu Xiuli pack her things, carried her bag, and even sent her to the school gate and waved goodbye to her.

Xu Xiuli: ...

Although I was helped, I didn't feel happy at all.

She looked at He Xiaofang with pretended worry: "Xiaofang, you're not going back for three days off?"

He Xiaofang waved her hand nonchalantly: "No!"

Her eldest sister took the children back to her parents' home. Her house was already small to begin with, and now there was no place for her to sleep. If she went back, what would happen to her eldest sister and her nephew?

Xu Xiuli took Jiang Ning's hand again: "Ning Ning, aren't you going back either?"

Jiang Ning smiled and said nothing.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Xu Xiuli didn't force her. She just smiled and said to Jiang Ning coquettishly, "Ningning, I'll bring you something delicious when I come back."

I don’t know when it started, but Xu Xiuli and He Xiaofang started calling Jiang Ning by her nickname.

Xu Xiuli's voice was originally soft and thin. She called Jiang Ning's nickname in such a delicate and coquettish tone, just like a shy girl acting coquettishly with her boyfriend. He Xiaofang was so angry that she threw her luggage onto the roof of the minibus: "Hurry up and leave, the driver is urging you!"

Xu Xiuli then reluctantly held Jiang Ning's hand, and did not let go until they got in the car.

He Xiaofang was so angry that she grabbed Jiang Ning's hand and dragged her to the school: "Let's go, let's go for a run."

The school's minibuses leave very early. Those that are closer are fine, departing around six o'clock, while those that are farther away wait at the school gate at four or five in the morning, so that after they send the students home, they can still pick up another batch of morning passengers.

After Jiang Ning had breakfast, he went to the Internet cafe.

Wang Yong had been waiting for Jiang Ning at the entrance of the alley. Knowing that Jiang Ning might have already had breakfast at school, he made her a cup of soy milk. When she finished typing the 12,000 words and sent them to the magazine's mailbox, it was already past nine o'clock. Wang Yong hurriedly reminded her that the manuscript fee from "Wuxia" magazine had been paid.

Wang Yong had been waiting for his royalties for a long time. He had been on a business trip to Wucheng for a month. Although travel expenses could be reimbursed, they were not paid in advance. Instead, they were paid together with salary and bonuses at the end of the month.

His total salary and bonus this month was 600 yuan, of which 300 yuan was his salary after being converted to a regular employee, 60 yuan was travel expenses, and the rest was all bonuses after he brought in Jiang Ning as an author.

His monthly bonus alone is almost as much as his classmates’ monthly salary who have a permanent job.

After all, his classmates who had a permanent job only earned 280 yuan a month.

Jiang Ning has been concentrating on the monthly exams recently and has forgotten about the publishing fee. After all, she is not a student who has just graduated from junior high school and is entering high school. She has not touched a textbook for so many years and has already forgotten a lot of knowledge. She needs to spend a lot of time reviewing before she can remember the knowledge she has learned.

There was a bank at the gate of their school, so she went straight to the bank after coming out of the Internet cafe.

The bank at the school gate is very small, with just a storefront and two windows. Its main service customers are students from No. 1 Middle School and Wu Middle School. There are several other banks nearby, all not far away.

Jiang Ning received two payments for his writing this time, one for 1,600 yuan and one for 6,840 yuan.

The total amount was eight thousand four hundred and forty yuan, plus the fifteen hundred that Jiang Ning had saved before, it was almost ten thousand yuan.

Even the bank staff couldn't help but look up at Jiang Ning when they saw the number on her passbook. They were very surprised to see such a huge amount of money in the passbook of such a young classmate.

After all, it has only been a few years since the concept of a ten thousand yuan household in the 1980s. Ten thousand yuan, even in the mid-1990s, was a huge sum of money anywhere, and if you told others about it, you would be envied to death.

She looked at the sources of the large sums of money in her account and found that the remittance units were all magazines.

This also made her feel relieved, but at the same time she reminded the little classmate: "Be sure to take the passbook with you."

Nowadays, others can take the money from your passbook using your passbook and ID card.

Jiang Ning naturally knew this truth.

Today's ID cards are still handwritten, and the ID card photos are in black and white, with very blurry facial features. You can find someone with a similar face shape to yours, have them take your ID card and say it's theirs. You don't even need an ID card, as long as they know your password, they can withdraw money from your passbook.

It is indeed a bit uneasy to hold such a huge sum of money in my hands.

She took some cash and kept her passbook safe, then came out of the bank. As soon as she came out of the bank, she saw Jiang Bai waiting at the school gate with his bag on his back. Seeing her coming out of the bank, he looked a little serious. Jiang Bai couldn't help asking, "Are you out of money?"

Jiang Ning looked at her second brother and nodded slowly: "Yes."
