Chapter 11 Wen Leyu

When Lu Jingyao's letter arrived at Qingshui County No. 2 Middle School, Li Ye happened to be transferred to the new repeat class one along with several classmates from Class 2.

A classmate complained sadly, saying that why did he keep switching partners for no reason? He had just become so familiar with the girl sitting next to him that they could even "read palms" together, but in the end he had to break them up by force.

However, Li Ye, who learned the inside story from his grandfather, knew that the school was re-dividing the “fast and slow classes”.

This year, the county’s No. 2 Middle School enrolled three repeater classes. At the beginning of enrollment, the first repeater class was divided into a “fast class” based on the college entrance examination scores.

However, the results of a single test cannot fully reflect the overall level of students. After four months of intensive teaching, the results of each class have diverged.

Some students have made a comeback, some have fallen behind, and among the students who have just entered the second year of high school this year, there are also several good prospects.

Therefore, it has become inevitable for schools to re-screen exam seeds and form new "fast classes" to improve the admission rate.

Li Ye, carrying his schoolbag, followed Hu Man and others and walked lazily into the classroom of repeat class one.

Then, it attracted the attention of many students.

"Why is Huang Shiren in our class? He can't even be in the top ten in Class 2, right?"

"Humph, his family is rich! Maybe he got the gift through the back door!"

"What do you mean by maybe? It's certain that the dog landlord always takes the crooked path."

"Guo Yunzhen is so wronged. He studied so hard, but was squeezed out by Huang Shiren."

As the saying goes, "someone comes in, some goes out." Li Ye and others were placed in the repeat class, and some people in the repeat class were placed in the other two classes.

The students who have been in the repeat class for a long time have always considered themselves superior to others. Now that they are squeezed out, it is certain that they are unwilling to accept the result.

But these students only talked in low voices. Li Dayong, who was as strong as a bear, was a bully in the class. He and Li Ye, the dog landlord, were birds of a feather, so no one dared to provoke him face to face.

"Brother, brother, come and sit here!"

Li Dayong was sitting in the last row of the classroom and happily stretched out his arms to greet people.

Although Li Dayong looks big and strong, his grades are actually a little better than Li Ye's.

Because Li Ye was going to look for Lu Jingyao, Li Dayong had tried his best to be careful to avoid provoking Li Ye. But now that they were in the same class, he was actually happier than Li Ye.

Li Ye walked towards Li Dayong with a smile, but was stopped by someone halfway.

Xia Yue, Lu Jingyao's former best friend, held a letter and said to Li Ye with a sour face, "Here, your letter."

Li Ye took the letter in surprise. After seeing the postmark date on it, his smiling face suddenly turned gloomy.

"Why is my letter in your hand?"

"I saw it at the reception desk at the door, so I brought it to you. Why, do you want to thank me?"

Xia Yue rolled her eyes and showed a look of contempt.

But when she met Li Ye's suddenly cold and oppressive eyes, she couldn't help but take a half step back and asked in surprise: "What are you going to do?"

"I'm not doing anything," Li Ye said coldly, "I just want to know why you withheld my letters?"

Xia Yue raised her voice and said, "Who detained your letter? I helped you get it out of kindness, but you are just trying to stop me."

"This letter was delivered yesterday," Li Ye held up the envelope, interrupting Xia Yue's explanation. "The postmark on it is the evidence. Do you want us to go to the post office to check the records? You opened my parcel privately last time, and this time you detained my letter. What on earth are you trying to do?"

“.”

Xia Yue was unable to defend herself for a moment, her eyes widened as if they were about to spit fire.

Several other students in the class finally stood up and joined in, expressing their indignation.

"What are you doing? What's the big deal about a broken letter? You're going to bully our class on your first day here, right?"

"That's right, it's fine if you come in through the back door, but you're still looking for trouble. Do you really think that our class is easy to mess with?"

"Bang~"

Li Dayong, who was sitting at the back of the classroom, slammed the table, stood up and shouted angrily, "Who are you talking about using the back door? Everyone, watch your words!"

Li Dayong's reputation as a vicious person was well-deserved, and the noisy noise in the classroom suddenly disappeared for the most part.

But Xia Yue was in a rage, so she said without caring, "Why, you're not allowed to talk about using the backdoor? Everyone knows what Li Ye's grades are like? Why did he come to our class?

Our class originally had 50 people and 25 desks, so why did we add another desk now? It's obviously for Li Ye, isn't this a backdoor? "

“.”

The fierce Li Dayong was confronted and speechless for a moment, but a sinister voice came from the door of the classroom.

"Who said the school had a backdoor? For whom?"

Xia Yue suddenly started to wake up and turned to look at the door, only to see that the head teacher of Class 1 had arrived at the door without her noticing.

"Teacher Luo, we are discussing the results of the mock exam a few days ago."

"Discuss grades? Xia Yue, do you think you are qualified to discuss other people's grades? How many points did you get in this mock exam? Five hundred points?"

"No."

Xia Yue smiled awkwardly, but cursed Li Ye a hundred times in her heart. She thought that it was Li Ye who brought this unprovoked disaster upon her.

"Why don't you all just sit down in your seats?"

"Hmph~"

Teacher Luo snorted coldly, turned around and said something behind him, then walked up to the podium.

It was only then that people noticed that at the door of the classroom, there was a middle-aged woman holding a lesson plan book and a girl carrying a schoolbag.

"Now let me introduce your new teachers and new classmates. This is your new English teacher, Ms. Ke, and this is your new classmate, Wen Leyu. Welcome everyone."

“Pah pah pah pah~”

The students in Class 1 applauded in unison, and Teacher Ke walked up to the podium and bowed slightly to everyone.

Teacher Luo greeted the girl standing outside the door, pointed to the empty seat next to Li Ye and said, "Okay, Wen Leyu, go sit in the empty seat in the last row first, and then adjust the appropriate seat later."

The girl came in from the door and walked towards Li Ye.

As she walked, dozens of pairs of eyes in the classroom shifted their gazes in unison like tracking radars.

The girl's eyes were clear and silent. She was not moved at all by everyone's gaze.

But when she looked into the eyes of her new deskmate, she was obviously surprised for a moment, and then a faint smile appeared on her cold face.

Li Ye knew Wen Leyu, Teacher Ke, and others, but he did not expect to meet them again at the County No. 2 Middle School.

In the college entrance examinations before 1980, the English test scores were only used as a reference and were not included in the total score.

Even in 1981, only 30% of the score on the paper was counted in the total score, so many candidates did not pay enough attention to it, and many of them could not recognize the 26 letters.

But Lu Jingyao's father had a keen eye and saw the opportunity.

Through various connections, he found Teacher Ke, who was temporarily living in Qingshui County, and asked her to tutor his daughter in English. In just half a year, Lu Jingyao's English scores improved significantly.

The college entrance examination questions of this era were quite simple compared to those of later generations.

So when Lu Jingyao took the college entrance examination, although his total score was not outstanding, he scored a very high score in English and was admitted to Beijing University of Foreign Languages ​​as an exception. It can be said that it was a close call, but a stroke of luck.

Li Ye, who was already Lu Jingyao's fiancé at the time, after receiving several tutoring sessions from Lu Jingyao, turned his attention to those subjects that had a full score of 100.

Although his results were not up to standard in the end, the strangeness behind it was still intriguing.

"This class adjustment is a targeted teaching adjustment by the school. Please do not let this normal adjustment affect your normal studies."

"I warn you, don't let anything unrelated to study happen in the classroom. Xia Yue, as the class monitor, you must maintain order."

The head teacher, Mr. Luo, emphasized discipline at the podium and prepared to leave.

But Li Ye raised his arms high.

Teacher Luo frowned and asked, "Student, what do you want?"

Li Ye stood up and said in a calm and steady voice: "Teacher, I think Xia Yue's character does not meet the standards of a class monitor, so she is not competent for the responsibility of maintaining class order."

“.”

The whole audience was silent for two seconds, and then suddenly became chaotic.

Everyone turned their necks 180 degrees and looked at the tall and thin boy in the back row.

Among them, Xia Yue was so angry that she wanted to jump over and strangle Li Ye to death.
