Chapter 169: Can I Still Go to School If I'm Found Out I'm Pregnant?
Although the voice was very small, Zhou He, who was sitting next to me, could hear it and said with a curled lip:
"Teacher Wang, you don't think I've never participated in an Olympiad before, do you? If you win a place, you can get a bonus for teaching. And students who participate in the competition also have the opportunity to receive a scholarship and may even be selected by colleges. If you play like this, aren't you afraid that people who know about it will transfer to another class?"
Ye Xiaomei was stunned and looked at Zhou He straight in the eye: "Really? I also get a bonus?"
Wang Liang's mouth twitched. "Yes, you must have it. But you have to choose a school. Don't choose a third-rate school in this city. Teacher Wang hopes to train you well so that you can go beyond the city and strive to participate in the provincial Olympiad next year. Oh, and you will be the first choice for other competitions."
Ye Xiaomei was simply overjoyed.
"Eat dumplings, eat dumplings..."
The students in the class were all more enthusiastic than each other. Ye Xiaomei could tell without looking back that Shang Zhen, the leader, had the loudest voice.
"Okay, okay, eat, eat..." Wang Liang pinched his eyebrows.
When Ye Xiaomei heard this, she decided to take care of the matter first. She stood up and said, "Teacher Wang, you have to help bring the coal stove from the security room over. We will eat in the classroom. There are twelve dumplings in one bowl, and it costs two yuan. It's not too much, but it's not too little either."
Wang Liang sucked his teeth a few times, gritted his teeth and nodded: "Okay!" He was so excited, as if he would not dare to make such an important decision without gritting his teeth.
Soon, Wang Liang sent someone to get the stove. Shang Xuetang and two classmates were guided by Shang Zhen to the dormitory to get materials. Ye Xiaomei set up her stall on the podium.
The podium was moved aside by two people, and Shang Xuetang and Shang Zhen helped to carry the bowls, and the chopsticks were passed from the first row to the back one by one.
In an instant, the classroom of Grade 1, Class 1 was filled with the delicious aroma of plump dumplings.
Standing on the podium, Ye Xiaomei knew that many female classmates had opinions about her, such as Li Xiaochun, but she was prepared and asked Shang Zhen to take a plastic bag:
"If you can't finish the food, pour it into this plastic bag." She could feed it to cats and dogs, after all, it shouldn't be wasted like that.
Wang Liang stood with his hands behind his back, counting the money from each student in the class. One bowl cost two yuan. The more he counted, the more tense his expression became.
This won't do. The possibility of losing the bet with Ye Xiaomei is relatively high. Suddenly, Wang Liang looked at Shang Zhen who was busying around, and a headache and fever came suddenly.
What if this guy really gets into the top ten...
Thinking of this, Wang Liang glanced at the podium that had been moved to the corner of the wall, and suddenly felt a toothache.
"Teacher Wang, you should have a bowl too." Ye Xiaomei was busy wiping her sweat. It was almost the time of spring. Although it is said that spring starts at the 69th day, it is still at the 69th point. However, it is hot enough and cold enough to freeze a person to death.
Wang Liang waved his hands repeatedly: "No, it's mainly for the students to eat."
"Then I'll eat it." Ye Xiaomei was not vague. She had not had dinner yet after attending classes for the whole afternoon. She only ate after finishing her business at the dumpling stall every day. She was very hungry at the moment.
There were quite a few people watching outside the window, some of them were acquaintances from the same class and were waiting to get out of school together. But today was different, as there were a few teachers standing outside with their hands behind their backs, watching the excitement.
Wang Liang walked out with an embarrassed look on his face: "Old Ma, stop laughing. Just say whatever you want to say."
Ma is the physics teacher of Class 1, and he is laughing so hard that his mouth is about to drool:
"I was thinking, Ye Xiaomei from your class has brought you honor, you should at least treat us to a meal."
"Go away! Ye Xiaomei usually sells dumplings at the school gate during her break. You can just spend two yuan to eat there. Do you really need me to treat you?"
Wang Liang was worried. In those days, a teacher's monthly salary was no more than 380 yuan, and he also had to take care of his parents and children. This meal of dumplings cost him dozens of yuan.
Zhou He had to regress a grade, so he actually participated in the Mathematical Olympiad in his second year of junior high school and took sixth place in the city, and received a scholarship of 80 yuan.
Not to mention the rising prices nowadays, Ye Xiaomei got the best grades in the city, so the scholarship is quite a lot.
The meanings of scholarships and grants are different. That's why I reminded Ye Xiaomei to think carefully about it. Because scholarships are basically awarded by the high school after a collective decision. In other words, if you receive the scholarship, you have to go to that high school to study after graduating from junior high school.
One is money, the other is talent. Wang Liang is very worried. According to his assessment, Ye Xiaomei can take the skip-level exam in the second year of junior high school. If she keeps up the good performance, she can be admitted to Jinghai High School in the second year of junior high school.
As the sun set, Ye Xiaomei didn't expect that Shang Xuetang, Zhou He and several other classmates stayed behind to help clean up the dishes.
Ye Xiaomei didn't have to do anything to carry so many dishes and utensils to the dormitory.
After closing the dormitory door, Shang Zhen couldn't wait any longer: "Quickly calculate how much it is. Teacher Ma also ate a bowl just now."
Ye Xiaomei began to make an account: "Eighty-six..."
"Ah, haha! Xiaomei, we've made money again." Shang Zhen was lying on the bed with his limbs kicking around like a turtle lying on its back.
"Yes, the head teacher said to go to his office tomorrow to get the money." Ye Xiaomei closed the account book beautifully.
Shang Zhen seemed to remember something and jumped out of bed:
"From what Zhou He said, you still have a scholarship."
"It's a scholarship. There's a story behind this." Ye Xiaomei understood and explained the difference between a scholarship and a scholarship:
"I'm actually also wondering why I should go to school?" Ye Xiaomei murmured to herself.
Shang Zhen didn't understand: "Didn't you say that? You have to learn culture and knowledge, so that you can travel around the world in the future."
Ye Xiaomei shook her head: "That's not what I meant. Learning knowledge is for a better life, right?"
"Well, of course not. It will be easier to travel around with knowledge."
"But how can we have a better life with knowledge?" When Ye Xiaomei said this, Shang Zhen's mouth twitched. What kind of logical thinking is this?
"To achieve a certain aspiration, or a dream..."
Shang Zhen didn't answer, and Ye Xiaomei fell asleep quickly.
Little did they know that at this time, Ye Xiaomei became famous again, and even many parents heard about it.
——Learn from Ye Xiaomei, who always gets first place in exams, no matter whether it is a school exam or a city exam.
——How did you learn? Why did Yip Hsiao-Mei get such good grades but you couldn't?
For a girl, the most annoying thing is that she is pretty and has excellent academic performance, which makes many female classmates in the school angry.
There are even boys who secretly call her "Dumpling Xishi". Don't you think that's infuriating?
The next morning.
The students who were attacked saw at a glance the red ribbon banner at the gate of the No. 1 Middle School in the city.
It says congratulations to our school student Ye Xiaomei for winning the city Olympiad championship.
The first line: Learning has no end, so strive to become stronger; the second line: The wise are diligent in reviewing the old and learning the new.
There is a sign at the school gate, covered with red paper, which reads: Welcome leaders of the Education Department to come to the school for guidance.
——Oh my God, it’s Ye Xiaomei again. Can she get first place in the city’s Mathematical Olympiad?
——I heard that her family is from the countryside, and she never went to school when she was young. She went to junior high school recommended by night college.
——It's really a ghost.
——Yes, Li Song failed this time and didn’t even make it into the top ten.
Ye Xiaomei was still lingering in the dormitory: "Shang Zhen, what should I do? If I don't wear my military coat, my belly will be too obvious. What do you think will happen if I'm seen pregnant? Can I still go to school?"
