Chapter 109 Diagnostic Test
There aren't many people in high school these days, so Jinran and Dahong quickly paid their tuition and got their books.
She then accompanied Da Hong to the dormitory. Unlike the dormitories of later generations, which had bunk beds, the dormitories now consisted of a kang (a heated brick bed). There were already three or four other people tidying up inside.
A dormitory room crammed with about ten people—that's how crowded it is. There'll probably be a lot more to come. Jinran's head spun just thinking about it. Thankfully, she doesn't live here.
Da Hong sighed again, "If only you lived at school, I could cuddle with you to sleep at night."
Jinran: ".............." You really haven't given up on your wicked intentions.
Then Da Hong excitedly said, "Nini, this county town is huge! We must explore it properly when we have time."
"You country bumpkin, you've never seen the world."
Da Hong and Jin Ran turned to look at a girl who was wearing faded, patched clothes and had her chin held high with an arrogant expression.
Da Hong clicked his tongue and ignored her.
The girl seemed to have been humiliated. Just as she was about to say something, the girl next to her tugged at her sleeve.
The girl then stopped talking.
Jinran glanced at the girl who had stopped her. The girl smiled gently at Jinran and introduced herself, "Hello, my name is Wang Jie, and this is Xu Pandi. She didn't mean it; she just said it without thinking."
Xu Pandi muttered, "I'm not wrong. What's so big about this county town? The city is the real deal."
Jinran rolled her eyes and said with a sneer, "This is truly the pot calling the kettle black. I thought you had seen so much of the world."
Xu Pandi didn't let up, continuing her barrage of questions.
Wang Jie kept trying to smooth things over, but finally sighed as if she had no other choice and gave Jinran and Dahong an apologetic look.
Based on Jinran's many years of experience writing novels, she sensed a strong, veiled aura of hypocrisy.
After that, Da Hong and Jin Ran introduced themselves, and the rest of the roommates got to know each other before heading back to packing their things.
This little incident didn't affect the two of them at all. After Jinran helped Dahong tidy up, the two of them went to the classroom to take a look and familiarize themselves with the place.
Then she went home.
High school studies are quite demanding, with students working from dawn till dusk every day. Wang Cuifen was worried about Jinran going home alone late at night, so she had Grandpa Shen take turns picking her up.
Jinran dragged Da Hong around to do endless practice problems at school every day, and in the evenings, she would use the excuse of asking for help to get her older brothers to tutor her.
The four little ones stayed in the space every day to accompany Jinran in her studies. Jinran praised them, deceiving herself, "You are all such good children, you even know to keep your mother company."
The four little ones lifted their eyelids slightly and fell asleep again. Their dark circles were already completely oblivious to their surroundings.
So what is she after, keeping these bastards around?
Their homeroom teacher was a middle-aged woman named Fang Qiong. Not long after the start of the semester, she announced that the school would be holding a placement test.
Check everyone's learning progress and then adjust the teaching pace.
Everyone groaned, but Jinran shrugged, unconcerned. She had high school level knowledge in her grasp. That's how confident she was.
The high school had four classes, with about thirty students in each class, and even fewer girls. Therefore, girls were highly sought after, and many boys tried to win their favor.
Then, the student in front of him turned around and said to Jinran and Dahong, "I'm pretty good at studying. If you don't understand anything, just ask me. My strong point is math."
Da Hong, without a care in the world, asked, "Really? Then let me test you. Do you know how to do this question?"
The boy took the test paper and then fell silent.
Da Hong asked regretfully, "You don't know how? This is considered easy."
The boy silently returned the test paper to Da Hong, then went back to his seat, quietly feeling emo.
Jinran almost died laughing. Da Hong is single by choice.
When the exam started, Teacher Fang patrolled around to prevent cheating.
After finishing one exam, a boy jokingly said to the teacher, "Teacher, let's trust each other a little more. You must be tired from walking around all day."
Ms. Fang just smiled, and then during the second exam, that boy received special treatment. Ms. Fang stood next to him for at least ten minutes.
The boy was about to cry.
Jinran laughed herself to death again.
After the exams were over, Jinran smacked her lips and whispered to Dahong, "These exam questions were really difficult, quite different from our junior high school exams."
Da Hong nodded and whispered, "It's even harder now. As the hope of the village, we still have to study hard."
Jinran nodded in agreement.
A soft chuckle came from behind me.
"People should know their own limitations. Learning isn't just about hard work; it also depends on talent."
Without a doubt, it must be Wang Jie and Xu Pandi. I don't know what kind of fate it is, but the two of them are like spirits behind their backs, impossible to kill or drive away.
It's so annoying.
Jinran and Dahong exchanged a glance, both looking somewhat annoyed.
