When cousin Lin Shuang's parents passed away, she was adopted by Lin Man's parents and became the family's darling.
Lin Man, on the other hand, became the sandwiched punching bag,...
Chapter 195: Successfully Landing (Page 1/2)
On the morning of August 6th, the sun was shining brightly and the breeze was gentle. Lin Man sat on the back of Huo Qingci's brand new bicycle, heading to the Military Children's Middle School with a nervous heart.
This day is of great significance to her. Whether she can become a Chinese teacher depends on her performance in today's exam.
The clock struck eight o'clock, and the exam began on time. This exam covered all the knowledge points in the high school textbook, including Chinese, politics, history, as well as mathematics, physics and chemistry.
Those in the Chinese language group have to take exams in Chinese, politics, and history, while those in the mathematics group have to take exams in mathematics, physics, and chemistry.
The test questions for each subject are written by excellent teachers of the corresponding subject. The school hopes to screen out the best talents through this exam.
A tense exam atmosphere filled the entire examination room, and everyone was concentrating on answering the questions.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is 2:30 in the afternoon, and the time to announce the results has finally arrived.
The total score ranking of the 132 candidates was clearly presented to everyone.
Surprisingly, Lin Man ranked second with an excellent score of 289 points!
The first and third place winners were both men, Gao Pengfei and Cai Lin respectively.
Gao Pengfei, a talented student, scored an astonishing 300 points in the three subjects, with full marks in every subject; Cai Lin followed closely behind with 287 points, including 94 points in Chinese, 98 points in politics, and 95 points in history.
It is worth mentioning that Gao Pengfei participated in the mathematics teacher qualification examination, so Lin Man naturally became the leader of the Chinese group.
Cai Lin also belongs to the Chinese language group, but his Chinese score is slightly lower than Lin Man's by one point. However, his politics score is four points higher and his history score is five points lower.
Calculating this way, Lin Man's total score was two points higher than Cai Lin's.
The fourth place scored 286.5 points, the fifth place scored 285 points, and the sixth place scored 284 points. This result made Lin Man excited and emotional. Who of them didn't have the ability to be able to take the exam?
She knows very well that she has a long way to go in the future and will be beaten if she falls behind. She needs to keep working hard to improve herself so as not to fall behind.
The top ten students with the highest total scores will stay for the interview at 2:30 pm, which will include lesson preparation, lesson plan writing and trial teaching.
It took Lin Man half an hour to prepare the lesson plan and another half an hour to give a trial lecture. It was her first time to stand on the podium and give a lecture to several school leaders.
She was still a little nervous when she got on stage. After all, she had never taught before. She had given Huo Qinghuan tutoring on the island before, and she knew that if she showed her head, she would get hurt. She simply treated all the judges in the audience as Huo Qinghuan and taught them.
As soon as she thought of this, she was no longer nervous. She taught a lesson to the school leaders according to the lesson plan she had written, and boldly interacted with them and asked them to answer questions.
The total score for the practical exercise was 100 points. Lin Man scored 94 and Cai Lin scored 96. Combined with their scores in the morning, their scores were tied.
Fortunately, the third place in the Chinese language group was several points lower than Lin Man's, which made her feel a little relieved.
Lin Man thought to herself: This time it was really a close call! After some hard work, she finally passed the assessment and became a temporary teacher at the children's school.
However, whether she can actually get the position depends on her work performance in the next three years.
Students will officially start school on August 31st, and as a newly hired teacher of the school, Lin Man must go to the school tomorrow to attend a meeting and complete the entry procedures.
Time was running out, and she felt a little nervous, but also full of anticipation.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, Huo Qingci rode his bicycle to the school gate and waited quietly for Lin Man to come out.
When he saw Lin Man walking out of the school gate, he immediately went to meet her and asked with concern: "Manman, are you hot?"

Lin Man was a little surprised. She originally thought that Huo Qingci would ask her whether she had successfully passed the teacher qualification examination.
After all, in this hot summer, the classroom without fans or air conditioning is like a steamer. But today, in order to appear more solemn, she deliberately wore long sleeves and long pants.
Lin Man nodded, the corners of her mouth slightly raised to reveal a smile, and she responded softly: "It is indeed a bit hot today, it is estimated to be 40 degrees Celsius today, I should wear short sleeves and a skirt when going out.
Of the female comrades who came to school to take the exam today, most of the male comrades were wearing short-sleeved shirts and long pants, while many of the female comrades were wearing skirts. "After saying this, she unbuttoned her cuffs and rolled up her sleeves...
"No one cares if female teachers wear skirts, as long as they don't dress up like the women in the art troupe."
"Yeah, I understand. It's okay for teachers to wear skirts, but the hem should be appropriate, not above the knees, and makeup should be avoided to be too heavy or bright..."
I understand all of this. I wore a white shirt and black pants today because I wanted to appear serious and dignified. First impressions are very important."
Huo Qingci casually praised: "Manman did a good job."
"Qingci, why didn't you ask how I did on the test today?"
"There are a large number of people taking the exam this time. Those who have successfully registered have at least decent academic qualifications and are all educated people. You know, I don't want to put too much pressure on you..."
A sly smile flashed across Lin Man's face, and she said jokingly, "Qingci, you need to work hard to earn money to support the family in the future. My child and I will depend on you for our livelihood."
Hearing this, Huo Qingci suddenly stopped pushing his bicycle, and his pace also stagnated. He said in a firm tone:
"Didn't Manman pass the exam? It doesn't matter. Don't worry even if you didn't pass. I will work hard to make money and let you live a good life."
Lin Man couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Haha, I was just teasing you. I'll be coming to the school tomorrow to handle the induction procedures, and I have to attend a meeting this afternoon."
"Manman, you really passed the exam? Congratulations! I knew you were the best. Let's celebrate tomorrow night."
They can't celebrate tonight. Even if they bring some seafood, chicken and duck back from the space later, they won't be able to cook. It's getting late, and Sijie may have already prepared the meal.
The two walked side by side, chatting and enjoying the evening breeze. After walking a few hundred meters, Lin Man suddenly said, "Qingci, it's getting late. Let's go back first!"
"Okay, come on up. Do you want to sit in the front today?"
Huo Qingci smiled and patted the bicycle bar. Lin Man glared at Huo Qingci unhappily and said with a stern face, "As a teacher, you should behave properly. Do you think it's appropriate for me to sit in the front?"
Huo Qingci laughed out loud, "Teacher Lin, I'm sorry! I was just kidding. Please sit in the back."
I'll try to get you a ticket later and buy you a bicycle so you can go home early if you get off work early."
When it came to buying another bicycle, Lin Man hesitated for a moment, frowned slightly and said:
"Qingci, if our family buys two bicycles within a year, the neighbors will definitely talk about it.
How about this, we can wait until next year to buy it, it’s not that long away anyway.
And if I walk home, as long as I speed up a little, I can probably get home in about 40 minutes!"
