After the New Year, everyone's life returned to normal, repeating the trajectory of the previous year day after day.

Every time Gu Anyang went home for a break, Liu Jinhua urged him to get married. However, Liu Jinhua was never able to get a promise from Gu Anyang, and her eager hope of holding her grandson was always dashed.

Gu Anyang also wanted to get the marriage certificate quickly and sleep with his beloved every night, but Chen Qiangwei told him that it was impossible to have a wedding banquet before he turned 20 years old. They had to get the marriage certificate first and then have a wedding banquet and live together.

Although Chen Qiangwei likes both puppies and wolfhounds, her soul that traveled through time from the 21st century does not allow her to become morally corrupt.

While Gu Anyang is still under that age, it’s enough to just take advantage of the little things with your eyes and hands to satisfy yourselves.

This year is the year when the first batch of sixth-grade students of Hope Primary School take the entrance examination to junior high school.

This exam concerns Wang Xiaomai's future, the admission rate of Hope Primary School, and the reputation of Huaihua Brigade.

In this era where collective honor is paramount, Chen Qiangwei was a little surprised by how much importance the team members attached to this exam.

When everyone goes to work, they can't help but lower their voices and slow down their pace when passing by the elementary school, for fear of disturbing the children's studies.

It made her feel as if she had returned to her previous life, seeing countless parents working so hard and showing off their talents for their children's future.

As soon as the school started, Gu Aiguo found Chen Qiangwei and asked about the learning progress and situation of the sixth-grade students, and inquired about the expected graduation rate this year. He also learned how many students would have to repeat a grade and which students would repeat.

This era is not like the 21st century, where students can graduate and advance smoothly regardless of their test scores. Now, as long as the average test score is not passing (60 points), you will have to repeat the grade.

Especially after the college entrance examination was cancelled a few years ago and educated youth went to the countryside, the door for children to succeed was closed and no one paid much attention to education.

When sending children to school, people only want them to learn some simple writing and arithmetic, and not be blind. They just want them to get a primary school diploma. Some even only let their children, especially girls, study for two or three years. No matter how much they study, they still have to farm in the end.

This kind of thinking is passed on to children through their daily words and actions, which makes it common for some playful children to repeat a grade for one or two years.

Of course, going to school requires money. If you are not the apple of your eye, if you fail a grade twice, your parents will ask you to pack your schoolbag and go home to work.

Chen Qiangwei filtered the situation of the children in the class in her mind.

Most of the children in her class love reading, except for three who are a bit naughty and refuse to change no matter what she says.

After receiving the reply, Gu Aiguo went door to door with his hands behind his back to do ideological work.

There is only one main point: if a child doesn't study hard, it's closely related to the parents. If they fail the exam and are held back, haha...

The word "ha" made the parents tremble with fear. After sending Gu Aiguo out, they caught the naughty child and started playing mixed doubles with him. They also said that if he failed the exam, he would be given enough stir-fried bamboo shoots and pork!

Well, Gu Aiguo’s ideological work was not in vain. The three naughty kids in Chen Qiangwei’s class did turn over a new leaf.

These three naughty kids are still little rascals. Others attend classes and complete their homework on time, but they sit upright and daydream in class, and do their homework seriously, but their answers are exaggerated.

But you can't say that they don't pay attention in class or don't complete their homework on time, and you can't punish them even if you want to.

From Chen Qiangwei's perspective of later generations, the sixth-grade questions in that era were not difficult at all. It was not the case in the 21st century that ten parents would have ten different opinions on a single question, and a word problem would be like a brain teaser.

Nowadays, the questions are very strict. As long as you have a correct attitude, listen carefully in class and complete your homework on time, there is no such thing as failing.

Moreover, the sixth-grade knowledge has been learned in the last semester, and this semester will focus on comprehensive review, from first to sixth grade.

Chen Qiangwei didn't know what sixth graders learned in other schools at that time, or how the teachers taught. The time she had spent studying at the Commune Shengli Primary School was too short and the final exams were approaching, so the teachers focused on review.

She could only teach based on her limited memory and the teaching methods of her previous junior high and senior high school teachers.

Among the three boys who might have been held back, the most mischievous and the one who took learning the least seriously, Pihou, made great progress in his studies after he corrected his attitude towards learning and studied seriously.

His fellow sufferer asked him, "Hoo, didn't you think studying was useless before? Why are you suddenly so serious?"

Pihou’s answer was: My parents said that if I fail the final exam, I will have as much stir-fried bamboo shoots and pork as I want, and my brother will have one egg a day!

There are only two brothers in his family. He and his younger brother have always been at loggerheads. Can he allow his younger brother to stand on his head and pee and shit? Absolutely not.

Chen Qiangwei smiled after hearing this. It turned out that parents are the ones who understand you best.

Pihou even managed to place fifth on the midterm exam. Even though there were only fourteen students in his class, his parents were so happy that they cooked him some rice that night and even rewarded him with an egg. His younger brother could only watch, drooling, and determined to do well on the final exam.

It turns out that there is such preferential treatment for being a good student. From then on, Pihou started to think about "getting rich by studying", and his learning momentum was unstoppable.

As a sixth-grade teacher of both Chinese and mathematics, Chen Qiangwei is extremely busy. She carries a military water bottle to class every day, and her throat is sore after school.

Her professionalism was seen and remembered by the parents. Some ambitious parents wanted their children to continue their studies, so they asked Chen Qiangwei to give their children special guidance, so they would send them some vegetables, dried mushrooms, fish they caught themselves, etc. from time to time.

He had no choice but to collect the vegetables, so he put them at the door of Gu Sannai's courtyard and ran away. When Chen Qiangwei heard the noise and went out, he had disappeared.

There was no other way, Chen Qiangwei could only ask Gu Aiguo for help. Gu Aiguo also noticed that the relationship between his Gu Xiaowu and Chen Qiangwei had been very stable over the past year.

Moreover, his Xiaowu is more stubborn than a donkey. He is determined that Chen Qiangwei is unwavering. Chen Qiangwei is most likely his daughter-in-law. Since she is his daughter-in-law, she is a family member. Family members must not have any stain on her, even if someone gave her to him willingly.

And he would not allow such malpractices to occur under his jurisdiction.

So, Gu Aiguo went to the homes of sixth-grade students with his hands behind his back to do ideological work and put an end to this unhealthy trend.

Of course, Chen Qiangwei also returned all the things that were placed at the door of Gu Sannai's courtyard.

The captain was watching closely from the side, and he had no choice but to take those people in.

This approach is effective, and many team members who wanted to send vegetables to the teacher silently withdrew their heads.

Knowing that she was busy, other teachers in the elementary school would help her share some of the work. Originally, everyone took turns cleaning the office, and filling the thermos with water was also done in turns every day.

Now she basically doesn't have to do these tasks. When it is her turn, no matter how early she goes, the office is clean and the two thermoses are filled with warm water.

In the blink of an eye, it was June 17, 1975, and the entrance examination from primary school to junior high school was here.
