The next day, Jiang Yi, her elder brother, and Jiang Yao went to Yuncheng No. 1 Middle School together.

Bring some inexpensive but festive items such as homemade sugar cakes, fried dough sticks, dried persimmons, oranges, etc.

When she got downstairs, Jiang Yi was a little surprised to see Pan Qiang getting out of the car.

Pan Qiang smiled and said, "Sister, Brother Yang, the boss asked me to take you there."

Jiang Yi looked into the car, no one was there, "How would he know?"

"That's what Brother Yang said yesterday."

"Oh." Jiang Yi said, "No need, we can just go there by bicycle."

It’s not that far, and Jiang Yi thinks there’s no need to make such a fuss.

It also takes up other people's time.

Pan Qiang didn't force it, "Okay, if the boss says you need his help, tell him."

Jiang Yi thought for a moment, "Is Mr. Nie at home?"

I didn't come last night.

"Our repair shop is officially open for business today, and he is in the shop."

Jiang Yi said "Oh" and thought, I'll go find him again at night.

It takes less than ten minutes to get to Yuncheng No. 1 Middle School by bike. Classes start on the ninth day of the Chinese New Year, but many teachers are already at work on the seventh day.

"Hey, aren't you Comrade Jiang Yi?"

Jiang Yi turned around.

Daisy?!

Oh no, Teacher Yang.

Of course Jiang Yi remembered. This man came several times. Although she didn't talk to him and he ran away in a hurry every time, Teacher Yang didn't come later, but his name remained in the teahouse.

"Happy New Year."

Teacher Yang also replied, "Happy New Year. Are you here to register?"

He teaches English to senior high school students this year, but he taught Jiang Yao last year. The girl had good grades, so he remembered her.

"Happy New Year, Teacher Yang." Jiang Yao was a little surprised: "You know my sister?"

Teacher Yang was even more surprised than she was, "She is your sister?"

No, it should be said that fate is really a wonderful thing, Teacher Yang smiled happily.

Jiang Yang had also heard from his wife before that there was a teacher from No. 1 Middle School who was pursuing Yi Yi and sent a bunch of daisies to the teahouse every day. Judging from her expression, this should be the one.

Well, he is well-mannered and of decent stature, and can be considered a handsome man.

Jiang Yao said, "My sister also wants to register."

"Ah?" Teacher Yang was surprised again and looked at Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi smiled and said, "Yes, I dropped out of school for some reason, and I have regretted it until now. I came here to ask if I can repeat my studies and take the college entrance examination again."

Teacher Yang's eyes lit up. "This is a good idea and should be encouraged. I can--"

He wanted to say that he could help because the principal was his uncle, but before he could finish, he was interrupted by a voice.

"Oh, isn't that Jiang Yi?"

A Suzuki women's motorcycle stopped in front of them, and Wu Xia got off the motorcycle. "Why are you here?"

Jiang Yi thought to herself, what a rare opportunity! Now they are all here.

"I'm here to see Principal Wen."

Teacher Yang was so enthusiastic, his eyes sparkled, "So you two know each other? Comrade Jiang Yi wants to take the college entrance examination."

Wu Xia glanced at Jiang Yi and suddenly burst out laughing.

"No way. How old is your child?"

Jiang Yi also smiled, "I shouldn't be over the age limit, right?"

Wu Xia said, "I didn't say you were over the age limit, it's just that five years have passed and you should have forgotten most of that knowledge. We at No. 1 Middle School don't just accept random people."

Since 1985, there have been planned and unplanned admissions. Every year, many students from various schools in the town want to come to No. 1 Middle School. Those who don’t meet the required scores have to rely on connections to get in through the back door, and the number of places is extremely limited.

Jiang Yi knew that what she said was true.

In her previous life, she didn’t want to take the back door and chose No. 2 Middle School which was easier to get to.

Jiang Yi did not refute Wu Xia, "Our appointment with the principal is almost up, let's talk again when we have time."

Teacher Yang went to the principal's office with his elder brother Jiang Yao, and after thinking about it, he followed them.

Wu Xia thought Jiang Yi was arrogant and sneered, "Do you still think you are the same Jiang Yi as before?"

"Who is that?" a teacher came over and asked.

"One of my old classmates gave up the college entrance exam and married a military officer. Now she is divorced and is in a big fight over a defamation case."

"Ah! That's her! She's a famous figure too. Let's go take a look..."

Jiang Yi met Principal Wen, who was in his early forties, wearing a pair of black-framed glasses and a Mao suit, and looked quite approachable.

It is very different from the first impression given by his wife, Ms. Yang.

Principal Wen looked at Jiang Yi. The young girl looked humble, with a smile on her face and clear eyes full of spirit.

Eyes are the windows to the soul. Principal Wen had a good first impression of Jiang Yi. "Please take a seat."

Jiang Yang put the food down and said, "Hello, Principal. This is what we made at home. Let everyone have a taste."

Principal Wen said thank you and asked Teacher Yang to distribute the food to everyone.

He also asked Teacher Yang to call the grade director, Director Yu.

Jiang Yi explained the purpose of her visit and her situation to the principal and the director.

Principal Wen had a complicated look on his face. "But you haven't studied for five years. Now you're taking care of your kids and working in a factory. If you don't come to class, will your grades keep up?"

In order to provide the country with more outstanding talents, No. 1 Middle School has set higher teaching goals, unlike other schools.

In other words, he was afraid that Jiang Yi would hold him back.

"My sister was ranked in the top ten in her grade back then," Jiang Yang said with some pride, "from her freshman year to her senior year."

Director Yu thought for a moment and said, "Principal Wen, why don't you give her some papers to do and see how she does before making a decision."

If a woman with children returns to school and gets admitted to university, it is a good story.

It's also good for their school's reputation.

"Ah? The exam is coming up soon?" Jiang Yang is not without confidence in his sister, but this is too hasty.

At least give them some time to review.

"Principal Wen." Wu Xia walked in from outside the door.

Wu Xia was able to teach at No. 1 Middle School right after graduation because the principal's wife, Aunt Yang, was a friend of her mother and so was familiar with the principal.

"Jiang Yi is my classmate. She was a very good student. Just give her a chance and give her some papers to do."

It seemed like he was pleading for Jiang Yi, but in fact he just wanted to embarrass her in public.

Teacher Yang wanted to help Jiang Yi. "How about letting Jiang Yi and the other students take the baseline test together when school starts?"

At least there are still a few days to review.

Jiang Yao was also a little worried about her sister, "Yes, Principal Wen."

Principal Wen glanced at Jiang Yao. This was the child who was in a premature relationship with his son.

His lover told him this two days ago.

On the first night of the new year, the son went out, and his lover took out several love letters from his drawer, all of which were written by the girl to his son.

The lover was very angry and said that like sister, like sister. One was pestering an officer and the other was pestering the principal's son. Both of them were trying to climb up the social ladder by relying on their looks.

He also had to criticize Jiang Yao in front of all the teachers and students in the school.

So that she would stop bothering her son.

Of course, I didn't agree with this approach.

"Do you want to take the test now, or take it with your classmates at the beginning of the school year?" Principal Wen didn't want to deliberately make things difficult for a girl.

Because in his opinion, the results are the same.

Jiang Yi thought that it was the second day of work at the factory on the ninth day of the first lunar month, and there were a lot of things to do. Moreover, she had to appease a certain boss in the evening, so she probably wouldn't have time to review. In the end, it was about the same, "Let's do it now."
