Chapter 403: Eternal Second
"Three of you, come here and stand next to the mayor. I'll take a picture of you." The officer holding the camera directed the three people to their positions.
"Ah, taking pictures!" Ning Qingyuan was dumbfounded. If he had known, he should have washed his face first. It would be unsightly if he took pictures like this. Others would think that the runner-up was a person with a dark face and who didn't like to be clean.
"Comrade, can you let me wash my face before shooting?"
At this time, the captain also came back to his senses from his joy and looked at Ning Qingyuan's face with a frown.
"Xiao Ning, what's all this black stuff on your face? It's even dirtier than a cat squatting in the stove to keep warm. Go get some hot water and wash yourself. Your parents won't be able to recognize you like this."
"Pfft." Ning Xiyue couldn't help laughing when she saw the masterpiece on his face. It was her fault because she didn't have time to help him clean it.
"Little sister!"
Ning Qingyuan was annoyed when he heard this laugh.
"Go wash." Mayor Huang couldn't help laughing when he saw him like this.
Zhang Jianguo had already brought him a glass of water from the house. Ning Xiyue took it and took out a handkerchief: "I'll help you."
The officer holding the camera suddenly realized what was going on after seeing that the stuff on his face had been cleaned. He had thought that the runner-up's face was really that dark and the stuff on his face was medicine for treating acne.
But the effect of the photo just now was quite good, and it was very consistent with the idea of hard work and simplicity. He had even thought about how to write the manuscript.
After finishing the arrangement, Ning Qingyuan said, "Comrade, that's enough. I'm sorry for taking up your time."
"It's okay, come and look at me." The officer holding the camera took a picture of the only year in which the Daliu team had two top scorers and one runner-up in the exam.
After the photo was taken, Huang Zhenshang gave some encouragement, said a few words of praise and congratulations, and then turned his gaze to the other comrades who were staring at him eagerly.
"In addition, there are many comrades in our team who have passed the preliminary selection score line. You are all pillars of the country. I have brought the list with you. You can go to the team leader to see it. Those who have passed the score line remember to go to the commune for a physical examination tomorrow. Dawei will come to the commune for a meeting at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. Okay, that's all. Congratulations to everyone first. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
After Mayor Huang finished speaking, the clerk behind him handed a list and some information to the team leader.
Everyone else looked at the list in the captain's hand with red eyes, and took small steps to follow behind the captain, waiting to see what was going on.
The captain took the document but did not rush to open it, as there were leaders here and he had to see someone off. He put his hands holding the document behind his back, letting the people behind him stare at the document so close to them, wishing they had eyes with X-ray vision so they could see through what the captain was holding.
Mayor Huang saw the captain following closely behind him and waved his hand: "No need to see me off. Tell the good news to these children first. Don't let them wait anxiously. Go ahead."
At the request of Mayor Huang, the captain stopped sending off the players, but he asked Ning Xiyue and Chen Yechu, the two top scorers, to send off the players.
Zhang Dawei looked at everyone waiting for the results and waved his hand: "Now, those who want to see the list, follow me into the office and line up one by one, or I will read it to you."
Although everyone was excited, they lined up obediently, waiting for the captain to show them.
After Ning Xiyue and Chen Yechu sent Mayor Huang to the big willow tree, Mayor Huang asked them to stay, handed Ning Xiyue a note and waved: "Go back."
"Goodbye, Mayor."
Mayor Huang and his two companions came and left quickly. After bringing them the good news, they rode away in a leisurely manner on their bicycles.
Ning Xiyue watched the mayor leave and then opened the note in her hand.
Seeing that what was written on it were the specific achievements of their Youth League School, Ning Xiyue looked at the back of Mayor Huang who had ridden away with gratitude, and then called Chen Yechu to her side to read it together.
The preliminary selection score line is 200 points for science and 210 points for liberal arts.
It was about the same score as she had estimated.
Looking down, Chen Yechu scored 392 points. She admired him for scoring so high in liberal arts and gave him a thumbs up, "Great."
Then I looked at my own score, and felt a little embarrassed. She scored 395 points, with only a few points deducted in Chinese and politics.
Chen Yechu didn't think it was bad, and happily congratulated: "Congratulations, Xiyue, you are great, you only lost five points."
"Just luck." Ning Xiyue took advantage of the situation and acted like a good kid, pretending to be humble.
"Let me see my second brother. He got 391 points. Looks like that math problem is holding him back."
Ning Xiyue shook her head with regret. If the second brother had been more careful, he would probably... still score one point lower than her. It wouldn't have much impact on the ranking. Haha, Ning Xiyue laughed unkindly. The title of eternal runner-up would definitely go to the second brother.
Chen Yechu laughed along and continued to read: "Let me see Zhiyu's score, 385 points, not bad, sure to get into Huazhong University."
"Yaoyao's score is 320, so she should be able to get into Beijing University."
Ning Xiyue looked at Chen Yechu inquiringly.
"It should be possible." Chen Yechu nodded with a smile, and pointed at Wang Mengmeng's score: "Mengmeng scored 313 points, so she should have a chance at Peking University."
Seeing that Wang Jiandong and Li Dabing's scores were not much different from what they expected, Ning Xiyue looked for Zhang Jianguo's score with confidence. 259 points, just one point less than she expected. Her efforts in teaching him the second-year high school courses for more than a year were not in vain.
Li Xiuxiu was just a little short of the mark, just six points above the passing line. Now all we can do is wait and see whether she will be admitted.
Looking down, all the students in the Youth League College have reached the preliminary selection score line.
To her surprise, the person who performed the worst in the exam was not the two old educated youth who had not read or studied for too long, but the former male protagonist Xia Zhipeng. His score was only two points higher than Li Xiuxiu's, and he only scored 208 points.
Ning Xiyue could understand it after thinking about it. Ever since what happened when he first went to the countryside, Xia Zhipeng had become a loner.
Chen Yetu also saw his score, but just glanced at it and didn't care. However, she was secretly happy in her heart. The person who had ruined her first half of her previous life did poorly in the exam. This was just retribution. It didn't mean that she still cared about him. This was just a normal human emotion.
"Xiyue, let's go back."
Chen Yetu took Ning Xiyue's arm and walked towards the Youth League Home.
When we arrived at the Youth League Home, it was really lively. Everyone came back, and all the people from the Dalui Team who were on the preliminary score line list came together to the Youth League Home, where they were happy and partying together.
Ning Xiyue was also infected by their bright smiles when she walked to the door, and could feel everyone's heartfelt happiness.
The list that Mayor Huang gave to the captain only contained the names of the candidates who needed to undergo physical examinations and the preliminary selection score lines, but no specific scores.
Ning Xiyue held the list in her hand and let them be happy for the time being, and then showed it to them after they were happy.
Entering the preliminary selection score selection only means that everyone is qualified and has a chance to be admitted, but whether you can be admitted by the university you have applied for is still an unknown.
But after seeing the scores, everyone can basically have a more accurate premonition of their admission situation and have a general idea in their mind.
As soon as Ning Xiyue took out the things in her hand, the smiles on several people's faces faded a little, and they all became worried about their admission letters.
Sure enough, when their cheers had stopped and they sat down to calm down, Ning Xiyue put the note in her hand on the table and opened it, which immediately silenced half of the people present. A new round of anxiety began, especially for those who were close to the passing score.
Chen Yetu paid special attention to Xia Zhipeng's reaction when he saw the report card. Seeing that his face suddenly turned ugly, as if he had lost his parents, he withdrew his gaze with satisfaction.
Ning Xiyue also paid attention to it quietly. Hi, some were happy and some were sad. She firmly stood on the side of Chen Yechu's happiness.
*
Early the next morning, all the people from the Daliu team who had made it to the preliminary selection line boarded the oxcart provided by the team and went to the commune for a physical examination. Ning Xiyue was responsible for driving the car.
There was no one at the physical examination site. Well, there were more than 400 people who applied for the exam from the entire commune, but only about 50 people entered the preliminary selection line.
Mayor Huang said that their commune still has a lot of people, and it's all thanks to their Daliu team that increased the number of people. The commune with the least number of people only had four people who made it to the preliminary selection line.
Since their Daliu team accounts for the majority of the troops, this period of time is exclusive to their team for physical examinations, and with few people, the examinations can be completed quickly.
After completing all the physical examinations, a group of people sang revolutionary songs and happily headed to the team.
After returning to the Youth League Home, married Wang Fenglan came with a one-and-a-half-year-old girl.
