Chapter 195 Responsible?
After checking everyone's grades, the head teacher took Meng Shulan to the school office.
It was agreed before that once the preliminary examination results came out, Meng Shulan would be given a certificate so that she could study at the No. 5 Middle School in the city.
Along the way, the head teacher kept reminding Meng Shulan to seize this opportunity, try to be admitted to a good foreign language university, and set a role model for the younger students.
Meng Shulan kept nodding.
The two went to the school office. From a distance, Meng Shulan saw Gu Hansong standing at the office door and talking to the principal.
So he is here!
Meng Shulan was just thinking about how to share her achievements with him when this person appeared.
When the principal saw Meng Shulan coming, he knew that she was here for a certificate, so he asked her to wait a moment. The certificate had been written and just needed to be stamped.
The head teacher and the principal went into the office, but Meng Shulan did not follow them in. Instead, she stood outside with Gu Hansong.
Today Gu Hansong wore a white shirt with pin-stripes, paired with dark blue sweatpants and sneakers. He looked clean and refreshing, like a college student.
Meng Shulan asked him, "When did you come here?"
Gu Hansong: "I just got here not long ago."
When he entered the room and saw her near the teachers' dormitory, he came over to find the principal first.
Meng Shulan: "You know my pre-test results, right?"
"Yeah. I did well on the test."
As soon as they met, the principal told him that her grades ranked sixth in the city and second in the county.
It’s great that the little girl who cried so hard that she had difficulty counting to fifty when she was young has grown up and is so dazzling that it makes his nose sore.
Meng Shulan: "When are we going to the city?"
This is just a preliminary exam, not the college entrance examination, and Meng Shulan doesn't want to stop moving forward at all.
Gu Hansong: "Tomorrow. Auntie said that the factory will give you an extra meal at noon to celebrate."
Before coming here, Gu Hansong went to the Meng family. He didn't see Meng Shulan, but chatted with He Jinqiu for a few words.
Although it was not the college entrance examination, the pre-examination was also a big deal. And as her daughter happened to be going to study in the city, He Jinqiu wanted to do something for her and prepare a meal for her at the factory so that they could have some fun together.
The workshop has moved these days, from the small courtyard to the newly built factory building.
Although the chosen start date has not yet arrived and the staff and machines are not all in place, it is still possible to have some fun first.
Meng Shulan smiled, "Then let's do it tomorrow."
Last year, Meng Shulan passed the preliminary exam, and her family killed chickens and fish and called her sister's family over for dinner, making the whole family have a great time.
At that time, her family cheered her on with a winning mentality, but who knew that when it came to the critical moment of the college entrance examination, she messed up.
In this life, everyone in the factory cheered for her, and Meng Shulan felt embarrassed to disappoint everyone.
After getting the certificate, Meng Shulan and Gu Hansong left. They had to go to the town office to get another identity certificate to complete the procedures.
When the two of them were leaving the school, they saw a lot of people with sad looks on their faces, carrying their luggage and preparing to go home.
Nearly two hundred people took the preliminary exam, and only one-third of them passed in the end. Only a small number of them were happy, while a large number of people actually returned home disappointed.
Gu Hansong saw someone carrying a quilt and a bamboo mat, and asked Meng Shulan if she wanted to collect the things. He happened to be there and could help.
Meng Shulan: "My dad came over a few days ago to help take the things away..."
As the two talked, their figures slowly disappeared outside the school gate.
In the girls' dormitory at school.
Ye Ran carried her things on her back, sat on the flower bed downstairs and started crying.
She failed the preliminary exam and her grades were very poor, and her ranking in the school was outside the top 150.
With this score, it would be very difficult to repeat the year.
Moreover, she had already repeated a grade once. When she came to check the scores, Ye Pingshun had already told her that if she couldn't even pass the preliminary exam, there would be no need to repeat the grade again. She could just go back home to work and find someone to marry.
Ye Ran doesn't want to work, and even less does she want to marry casually.
But……
Woo woo woo, what should I do!
I don’t even dare to go home.
Ye Ran has been doing well in school in the past few years. Even though Meng Shulan embarrassed her and made her laugh last year, she is still quite popular on the surface because she always takes out a tutorial book in her hand. At least the lower grade students will call her "senior sister" when they see her.
Ye Ran usually enjoys this feeling of superiority and walks with her head held high.
But now, she was as miserable as a poor homeless puppy, sitting there pitifully, with nowhere to go and no one to comfort her.
What is there to comfort her? Those who failed the exam are feeling the same as she is. They are sad themselves, so how can they care about others?
Those who were lucky enough to pass were so happy that they couldn't hide their smiles. It was also difficult to persuade those classmates who were wiping away tears, for fear of arousing envy. It would be bad to be accused of gloating over others' misfortune.
Moreover, Ye Ran's reputation has been almost ruined in the past six months. Now that she has passed the exams, no one expects her to borrow books anymore. Who would want to pay attention to her?
Ye Ran just sat there pitifully until Han Ning appeared in front of her with his hands in his pockets and a sinister look in his eyes.
When Ye Ran saw Han Ning, she felt complicated and unwilling.
He passed.
I didn't expect he passed!
In the last ranking test before the pre-exam, Han Ning was already ranked outside the top 100. Based on this score, he should not be able to pass...
But this person actually passed!!!
He passed, and even if he can't get into university in the future, with the Han family's connections, he should be able to get into a technical secondary school.
In this era, technical secondary schools also assign jobs.
From now on, he will have a stable job, and what about me...
Ye Ran's mood fell to the lowest point.
Ye Ran had thought about this time's preliminary exam in advance as she was unsure of her performance.
She knows very well what her level is.
At first she thought, if she couldn't pass the exam, then she wouldn't pass it. Anyway, she had Han Ning with her, and she could just stick to him and cling to him.
Last time, in the alley outside the school, Han Ning kissed her, and Ye Ran would not let it go easily.
In the village, let alone kissing, even holding hands requires responsibility.
There was no way she could just let it go as if nothing had happened.
After that, Ye Ran also looked for Han Ning twice and made it clear that he needed to take responsibility.
But at that time everyone was preparing for the preliminary exam, time was tight, and many things could not be said.
Ye Ran thought, let's wait until after the preliminary exam. Anyway, there is no hope for both of them. No matter what he does or where he goes, she will follow him. She must find a way to make him marry her. Even if she can't take over the Han family's job in the future, she can still follow Han Ning to the city to enjoy a good life.
But now…
Ye Ran wiped her tears and stared at Han Ning, "I told you, we can't just let it go. You must take responsibility."
Han Ning looked at her with amusement, "Oh? Then tell me, how can I be responsible?"
