Chapter 26 Midterm Exam Local students look down on out-of-town students
In a blink of an eye, Xu Heye had already attended classes in the new school for ten days.
That day, Chen Yuru, the homeroom teacher who had just finished two physics classes, dropped a big bomb in the class.
The school will hold midterm exams next Monday and Tuesday. This exam is not only a school exam, but also a joint exam for several schools. The results will be ranked in the district.
There was a sudden wailing in the classroom.
However, those who complained were all local students, while the transfer students from other places were silent.
Sometimes, true despair is silent.
Compared to the local students who complain that they are not prepared and will not do well in the exam, the transfer students from other places are the ones who are truly unsure.
After all, those who came earlier had only been here for a month or so, and those who came later, like Xu Heye, had only attended classes for ten days. The textbooks, teaching progress, and learning content of the two places were not consistent. Let alone keeping up with the learning progress, many students, like Kong Xiaoyue, could not even speak Hucheng dialect. How could they do well in the exams?
Xu Heye noticed that Kong Xiaoyue's hands and feet were shaking with nervousness.
She looked at the desk that was shaking because of Kong Xiaoyue, and reached out to hold Kong Xiaoyue's hand.
"Take a deep breath and calm down."
Kong Xiaoyue looked at Xu Heye with fear in her eyes.
"Xu Heye, what should I do? I didn't do well on the test."
She couldn't even understand what was being said and was just busy listening in class.
The situation has been better these days. I can look at the notes of my deskmate Xu Heye, but after all, there is a layer of separation. Xu Heye understands many knowledge points, so she doesn't take extra notes.
Although she could ask, and Xu Heye was willing to teach him, they were both students after all, and they still had to focus on their own studies. Kong Xiaoyue also didn't want to keep disturbing Xu Heye.
Xu Heye didn't know how to comfort Kong Xiaoyue, so she could only say a few dry words, "It's okay, this is only the first midterm exam. If you don't do well this time, there will be final exams later. If you don't do well in the finals, there will be the third year of junior high school. If it really doesn't work out, next year, just do better in the midterm exam next year."
Kong Xiaoyue: “…”
She didn't know whether to cry or laugh, "Xu Heye, you really don't know how to comfort people. What you said made me even more nervous."
Kong Xiaoyue said so, but she actually felt a little relaxed.
After a weekend, Monday came in the blink of an eye.
The exam took two days. Because it was a district-wide exam, all the papers were collected and graded together, so the results came out a little slower. But on Friday, all the results, including district rankings, school rankings, and class rankings, were out.
The first class is the physics class taught by our homeroom teacher Chen Yuru.
She walked into the classroom with a stack of papers in her arms, wearing her pointed high heels. The sound of her heels hitting the ground echoed throughout the classroom, as if stepping on everyone's heart.
"The class representative will hand out the papers." Chen Yuru said expressionlessly.
"Okay." Mu Xia, the physics class representative, walked more lightly when handing out the papers.
Chen Yuru had been teaching them for two years, and everyone had gotten to know her quite well. Chen Yuru was a very expressive person, her moods changing with the students' grades.
If their class did well on the test or won some collective honor, Chen Yuru would be particularly happy and beaming when she came to class. If they did poorly on the test or made a mistake, Chen Yuru would have a long face when she came to class.
Seeing the situation today, all the students were holding their breath.
"Have you all got your papers?" Chen Yuru said. "Everyone is looking at their own papers now."
"Have you all seen your scores?"
Everyone was silent.
Chen Yuru didn't need their answers and continued, "The total score for physics this time is 100 points. There are 58 students in the whole class, but only three of them scored above 90 points, and only one student scored 95 points."
"It's okay if they didn't get 90 points, but only thirteen of them scored above 80. There were also about ten students who failed. Failing would be fine, but there were even some who scored over 20 points."
"Out of 60 multiple-choice questions, you got 20 points. Even if you threw the paper on the ground and stomped on it, you'd still be able to find a few correct answers! Remember, your parents worked so hard to send you back home to study, and you got a grade like this. Who are you being worthy of?"
As Chen Yuru spoke, her sharp eyes swept across the students below. Wherever her gaze fell, everyone who was stared at by Chen Yuru subconsciously lowered their heads, not daring to look her in the eye.
"Physics is a required subject for the high school entrance exam. Whether you want to go to high school, university, or technical secondary school, physics grades are very important. If you don't do well in physics, expecting to get high scores in the high school entrance exam is just dreaming!"
"That's all I have to say. You can decide for yourselves. Now let's get started."
After Chen Yuru finished speaking, she unfolded the test paper and began to explain the questions. After the bell rang, Chen Yuru took the textbook and left.
Classmates started asking about grades.
Wang Cai poked the monitor Fang Sihe on the back and said, "Monitor, monitor, you have the best grades. Are you the one who scored 95?"
Fang Sihe looked at the big words "92" on the paper and shook his head.
"Class representative, is that you?"
Physics class representative Mu Xia also shook her head: "It's not me either." She hadn't performed well this time, only scoring 90 points, third in the class.
"Who is that?"
Mu Xia nodded in the direction of Xu Heye.
"Who? Are you saying that the outsider got the first place in the class in physics? How is that possible?" Wang Cai looked at Xu Heye in disbelief.
“Aren’t the results of these outsiders very poor?
Isn’t the school unwilling to accept these out-of-town students? After all, if their grades are poor, they will just be a drag on the team.”
Mu Xia glanced at Xu Heye nervously and said in a low voice, "You're going to die! Keep your voice down. People might hear us." Mu Xia didn't want to believe that a student from another place could actually pass the test better than them, but the results on the test paper couldn't be faked.
"I heard it, so what? These outsiders can't understand it anyway." Wang Cai muttered, walked to Xu Heye, and said in a condescending tone, "Hey, outsider, let me see the test paper."
Xu Heye ignored him.
She was busy correcting wrong questions and filling in the gaps.
"Hey!" Wang Cai knocked on Xu Heye's desk. "I say, you outsider, let me see your test paper." Wang Cai thought Xu Heye didn't understand Hucheng dialect, so he switched to a half-baked Mandarin.
Kong Xiaoyue looked at Wang Cai with some fear, and nervously tugged at the sleeve of Xu Heye's coat.
Xu Heye then raised her head and said in very authentic Hucheng dialect, "What's the matter?"
Wang Cai's expression changed slightly: "Can you speak Hucheng dialect?"
