Chapter 94 Chapter 94 1st in the district, 7th in the city...
0 points?
When they heard this score, Shen Miao and Shen Wanshan were both stunned for a moment, not paying any attention to the following score.
"…Please press the pound key to listen again."
Shen Miao turned on the hands-free this time, and after calming herself down, she pressed the “#” on the number dial.
"Hello, the scores of... in 1998 in Yu City, Henan Province are: 0 points for theoretical courses, 89 points for tutor questions and answers, 94 points for practical internships, and a total score of 183."
0 points, it was indeed 0 points, they did not hear it wrong.
In the theory exam with a full score of 100, Shen Miao actually scored 0 points? !
In order to obtain a physician certificate specializing in Traditional Chinese Medicine, not only must you pass the 60-point mark in all three exams, but you must also score more than 80 points in the theoretical course. This is why the pass rate is very low every year.
But 0 points... How is that possible? Even if Shen Miao did badly in the exam, it would definitely not be possible to get 0 points, right?
The results were announced by a mechanical female voice, and I pressed the "*" key to be transferred to the manual answering channel.
There were many students checking their scores at the same time, and the music on the phone played for a long time but no one responded.
Shen Miao was anxious, Shen Wanshan was anxious too, and the confused Shen Shansheng and his wife were even more anxious. Although the waiting music on the phone was soothing and relaxing, it could not relax their nerves, and instead made their palms sweat with anxiety.
After waiting for nearly half an hour, I finally heard the operator's voice.
"Hello, hello, please wait a moment. Can I ask what happened to this 0 point?" Shen Wanshan picked up the receiver and asked anxiously, "My granddaughter's grades have always been very good. What's the matter with this 0 point? Can I ask?"
The voice on the other end of the phone was cold: "I can check the scores, but is there any problem with the results?"
"right."
"Then you have to contact the Health Commission's Admissions Office. We are only responsible for solving the problem of not being able to find the scores."
Shen Wanshan was a little anxious, "Huh? Just now you said there was a problem and asked us to transfer to manual work, but you didn't solve it after the transfer, and told us to contact the admissions office. Aren't you just passing the buck?"
"This is not our responsibility. I can't solve it." After answering dozens of calls in a short period of time, the operator couldn't hold back his temper and said in a bad tone, "Please ask the admissions office for specific score questions. Do you have any other questions?"
"you……"
Upon learning that Shen Miao scored 0 points, Shen Wanshan was already holding back a rage, and the half-hour of waiting was like a complete ignition of the fire he had been suppressing.
Seeing that Shen Wanshan was about to argue with the operator, Shen Wanshan hurriedly took the receiver and said, "That's all, that's it, thank you."
After hanging up the phone, Shen Wanshan was still in shock, and kept muttering to himself into the phone on the table: "0 points, it can't be 0 points, I can believe any point you say, how could it be 0 points..."
The consciousness was also bombarded by this "0 points" mushroom bomb. Compared with Shen Wanshan's impatience, Shen Miao, who was sitting on the chair, seemed to have lost consciousness, and clutched his admission ticket with a dull look.
She was also wondering how she could possibly get 0 points in the exam. Even when she was in school before, she had never brought home an empty score.
Besides, she estimated her score after the exam, and conservatively speaking, she would get around 85 points. Even if she estimated the score wrong, it would not be as outrageous as getting 0 points.
"Miao Miao, are you okay?" Wang Dongmei put her hand on Shen Miao's shoulder and asked softly with concern.
"I, I'm fine."
Coming back to her senses, Shen Miao wanted to raise the corners of her lips to tell her that she was fine, but as soon as she opened her mouth, the tears that had been accumulating in her eyes for some time began to flow down.
How could this be?
She thought that passing the exam would make her parents happy and her grandfather proud of her...
“It’s okay, it’s just that you didn’t pass the exam,” Wang Dongmei wiped away Shen Miao’s tears, held her in her arms, and comforted her, “It’s not like you can only take the exam once in your life. If you don’t pass this time, you can take it again next time. So many people have failed the exam.”
"Could it be that the name is written wrong? Or the test number is written wrong?" Shen Shansheng reminded.
Name? Admission ticket?
Looking at the admission ticket in her hand, Shen Miao tried hard to recall what happened on the day of the exam, but her mind was filled with only the questions on the test paper.
Name? She has been using this name for more than 20 years, and she can write it without mistakes even with her eyes closed.
Test number?
When filling in the test number that day, the invigilator did emphasize that you must pay attention to the test number. If you write the wrong test number, it will not only affect your own score, but also cause the other person to have no score.
Before the tutor Q&A and practical sessions, the teacher in charge would check if the exam number and name of the candidate coming in were correct, but when it came to answering the theory questions, there was no one to help check.
Test number... Could it be that the test number is really wrong?
Shen Miao couldn’t remember clearly because she was indeed only focused on answering the questions and didn’t check carefully after filling in the test number.
Wang Dongmei: "Why don't we go to the admissions office and ask what's going on?"
Shen Shansheng: "Let's go, let's all go and ask what's going on together!"
Ding ding ding~
Ding ding ding!
Just as I was about to pack up and leave, I heard the phone on the table ringing again.
It was Shen Wanshan who went to pick it up.
He thought the operator might have reported the wrong score, so he called back to inform him.
Thinking that his attitude towards the operator just now was not very good, Shen Wanshan deliberately slowed down his tone, "Hello? Who is this?"
"Old Shen, it's me."
It’s Lu Jianghai.
Hearing the overjoyed tone on the other end of the phone, Shen Wanshan’s face suddenly darkened, “What’s the matter?”
"The kids' grades are out today, so I came to ask if you want me to help you check the scores on the computer?"
It's rare for Lu Jianghai to be so enthusiastic, but the more enthusiastic he is, the more people feel that he has something bad to say.
Especially Shen Wanshan, who knew him best, heard a hint of watching the fun from his words.
Shen Wanshan: “No, we just called to check.”
"How did you do on the test?"
Shen Wanshan supported his forehead and said, “Well, it’s fine.”
"That's good. That's fine."
Lu Jianghai's tone was like a wolf circling outside the sheepfold. He did not rush to pounce madly, but slowly enjoyed the feeling of being able to choose.
"Are you free on Sunday? Let's have dinner together as a family?" Lu Jianghai asked again.
Shen Wanshan sneered at him, “Why, you’re going to have a grandson again?”
"No, it's a celebration party, a celebration party for my grandson," Lu Jianghai said proudly, "to celebrate the fact that he got first place in the district and seventh in the city. Although he's not first in the city, it's also a good thing to bring honor to our family."
Shen Wanshan: ???
“Do you even know the ranking?”
"Yes, the top few scorers will have their rankings. My Lu Xin scored 290 points." After deliberately pausing for a few seconds, Lu Jianghai asked, "Why? Can't your Miao Miao even see the ranking?"
Shen Wanshan: …
290?
Almost full marks?
Is this genius?!
Seeing that Shen Wanshan didn't say anything, Lu Jianghai continued to ask tentatively: "Then how many points did your Miaomiao get in the exam? Even if there is no ranking, with her strength, it shouldn't be a problem to pass the line, right?"
"After all, this child studies hard and actively participates in internships arranged by the school. Even if he performs poorly, he will definitely get a certificate."
"Mr. Shen, I want to congratulate you too. Someone will finally take over the Shen family business!"
Shen Wanshan's face became worse and worse. He felt more and more that Lu Jianghai made this call on purpose. Every word he said sounded harsh.
Lu Jianghai seemed to know that the more he boasted, the more uncomfortable Shen Wanshan felt.
"No, there was a problem with Miaomiao's score, and we are about to go to the Health Commission to ask what the situation is."
Shen Wanshan couldn't tell a hypocritical lie to save face, so he told him the score frankly.
"Ah? Is there a problem?" Lu Jianghai's tone was a little too surprised. "Then go quickly. Tell me if you need any help. I know some people in the National Health Commission. Maybe I can help."
Shen Wanshan: “Yeah.”
Before hanging up the phone, Lu Jianghai reminded him again: "Zhong, remember to come to my grandson's celebration banquet on Sunday, don't forget."
Shen Wanshan originally wanted to thank him for his kindness, but now it seems that it is completely unnecessary.
"290, so high?!"
On the way out, Shen Shansheng couldn't help but sigh.
Wang Dongmei lowered her voice a bit, "Shh, I've already told you that he's a genius. Isn't it normal for a genius to work hard and get a high score?"
Of course, even if her talent cannot be surpassed, Wang Dongmei and Shen Shansheng still believe in their daughter's ability.
One subject got 94, the other 89. If he could also get 90 in the theory course... then his score would not be much different from Lu Xin's.
290 points was indeed quite high, but Shen Miao was not in the mood to be happy for Lu Xin right now, she just wanted to figure out why she got 0 points.
When I arrived at the National Health Commission, there were many people outside the gate crowding in front of the list to check their results. I heard that there were a thousand more people taking the exam this time than last time, but the number of people who passed the exam was even fewer than last time, less than a hundred.
There were quite a few people outside the Admissions Office, all of whom had objections to their own scores.
The person in charge of the office seemed to have been prepared. The names and specific reasons of the candidates whose scores were questionable were recorded on the lists in his hand. As long as the name and test number were reported, they could be found quickly.
"Zhang Jiamin, my test number is 5775060821. Excuse me, why can't I find my score for the practical test?"
"It's not that we can't find the patients. It's that you and a few other people mixed up the patients. None of you were able to distinguish them."
"I, I, 6377040116, my name is Wei Hua. How could I fail the tutor's question and answer test? My tutor spoke very highly of me at that time."
"This is not a problem with the score, so I can't answer it."
"What about mine? 5975020125, Guo Shun, why does it say the test number doesn't exist when I checked it several times? I clearly took the test."
"Are you sure you entered your test number correctly? The maximum number of numbers starting with 5 is 56. Why is your number 59?"
Everyone’s questions were all kinds of weird, and listening to everyone’s various outrageous and bizarre questions, Shen Miao realized that even if some people had the ability to cure diseases and save lives, their IQ was a bit behind.
For example, the one who insisted on not writing down his test number and had to argue with the staff, and the one who was caught cheating and was given zero points but still argued about what he didn't see... God knows who gave them the courage and made them believe that they were right.
After waiting in line for a long time, it was finally Shen Miao and the others’ turn.
“Hello, I would like to ask about my theoretical class results, Shen Miao, the test number is 5685010311.”
Based on her name and test number, the staff quickly found her problem.
"You filled in the wrong test number."
Shen Miao: …
It seems that this is really my own problem...
“Then can you let me take a look at the test paper?” Shen Miao asked again.
Shen Miao was not sure if she had filled in her test number correctly, so she wanted to take a look at the test paper. If she had not filled in the number correctly, she would know how many points she could get.
"No, after the papers are sealed, they cannot be taken out for inspection." The staff member explained, "Many people wrote the wrong test numbers. If we take them out one by one and look at them, if someone changed one or two strokes while no one was paying attention, it would be hard to explain."
Shen Wanshan: "Will there be a situation where we read it wrong? For example, we didn't write it wrong, but the teacher who graded the paper saw something wrong."
Staff: "There is no such problem. Our marking process is as strict as that of the high school entrance examination and the college entrance examination. Generally, there are two teachers responsible for marking the papers. Even if they both find mistakes, there will be a third teacher to review them."
There were three teachers checking the whole process, which meant that it must be Shen Miao's own problem, as he wrote his own test number incorrectly.
"If there are no mistakes, what is the score? Can I see it?" Shen Shansheng asked again.
"cannot."
Coming out of the admissions office, the whole family seemed to have a dark cloud hanging over their heads. They walked out dejectedly, even more depressed than those candidates who had failed the exam.
It would be fine if Shen Miao didn’t have that ability, but it was just because she was careless and filled in the wrong exam number, which was the most regrettable. However, since it had already happened, there was no point in saying too much, and she could only keep looking forward.
"It's okay, I'll take the test again next year."
"That's right. Someone just said that it's normal to fill in the wrong test number. Many people fill it in incorrectly."
"Yes, yes, maybe it's not our fault. What if someone else wrote our test number? Didn't the teacher say that if the test numbers are the same, no one will get any points, so it's not necessarily our fault."
Seeing that Shen Miao kept her head down and didn't speak after coming out, Shen Shansheng and his wife and Shen Wanshan took turns to persuade her.
"We have the ability, so it doesn't matter if we get the certificate a few months earlier or later."
"Many top scorers in the college entrance examination did not pass it in one try. Look at that guy, he took the exam several times before he became the top scorer in the province."
"Okay, okay, it's all over. Look, you got 94 points on the practical test this time. I saw that many people just now only got 70 or 80 points. You can get more than 90 points, which proves that you are better than others! Come on, let's go have a good meal!"
Shen Shansheng and Wang Dongmei know how to comfort people.
They all saw how hard Shen Miao had worked over the past few months, and they really didn’t want to put too much psychological pressure on her.
And Shen Wanshan...
"Master, I'm sorry..."
Shen Miao lowered her head even lower.
I originally thought that I could win face for him this time and give Lu Jianghai a good blow to his arrogance, but in the end, not only did I fail to vent my anger, but I accidentally defecated a large pile when I exerted too much force.
Just now, he sounded so proud when he was on the phone. If he really went to Lu Xin's celebration party, wouldn't he be so proud of himself? !
"What's there to be sorry about?" Shen Wanshan helped her tidy up her hair. "I wrote it wrong this time. I'll be more careful next time. It's not a small matter to be upset."
Shen Wanshan has always believed in Shen Miao's ability. After all, he personally brought her up since she was a child. Her ability cannot be denied by just one test.
And what Shen Shansheng said just now was correct, maybe it’s someone else’s problem?
Someone else wrote his or her test number the same as Shen Miao's, which resulted in her getting no points. After all, with so many numbers next to each other, it was possible to accidentally write one or two numbers wrong.
"Your mother is right. Your scores in the tutor's question and answer test and the practical test are not low. Next time you take the test, you might even be able to come back with the top score. Come on, come on, you're already in your twenties, so stop squeezing cat piss."
Taking a deep breath of the sunny air, Shen Miao’s mood eased a little.
When coming out of the Health Commission and preparing to go to eat, Shen Miao also met several students from Xinglin Medical Auxiliary School at the door. They came to check their scores in a hurry. She guessed that there must be something wrong with their grades.
"Master, I want to go to the tutoring class."
At this time, the Xinglin Medical Assistant Honor Roll was also posted. Although she had written the wrong exam number and failed to get the certificate, Shen Miao still wanted to go and see how other people did.
Shen Wanshan: "Well, go ahead, we'll go eat when you come back."
When Shen Miao arrived at Xinglin Medical Auxiliary School, the school gate was full of people coming to see their scores and waiting to register. The bustling flow of people seemed to be even more crowded than half a year ago. Even though it was already winter, the area where the honor roll was posted was very hot.
Not only the results of the Traditional Chinese Medicine exam, but the results of several other medical exams were also released today. However, only the candidates who had expertise in Traditional Chinese Medicine had the worst looks.
The difficulty this time was higher than that of the first half of the year, but the pass rate was much higher than last time. There were a total of 156 people like Shen Miao who took the TCM specialty physician certificate exam, and 11 of them passed.
Shen Miao looked at the names on the honor roll, well, it was similar to the usual test scores, all of them were those who ranked at the top of the class, and only one or two people's scores were in the middle of the class.
Unfortunately, my name is not on it...
Alas, my mood, which had recovered slightly, feels worse again.
“Shen Miao?”
Hearing someone calling her name, Shen Miao turned around and looked in the direction of the voice.
It was Cao Yulan who came with her daughter to check the scores.
Cao Yulan's score has passed the passing line. After getting her certificate in a few days, she will be able to fulfill her wish and become a formal Chinese medicine doctor and open her own small clinic.
"Did something happen? Why didn't you pass?" Cao Yulan asked tentatively.
Cao Yulan was very clear about Shen Miao’s ability, and if nothing unexpected happened, she would definitely be able to successfully obtain a medical license.
Shen Miao smiled bitterly and sighed, “I wrote the test number wrong, so I didn’t get any points for the theory questions.”
“I see…”
Cao Yulan patted her shoulder with regret and comforted her gently, "It's okay, it's just a small accident. With your ability, even if you don't make it this time, you will make it next time!"
Shen Miao nodded.
Glancing at the glorious teacher on the bulletin board on the other side, Shen Miao suddenly remembered what Qin Xiaokun said to her that night.
He said that he hoped to calm down this time and wait until the next time to take the exam. She was puzzled at the time, and thought that she must get a high score to impress him. But now... not only did she not impress him, but she also lost face.
Alas, I should have listened to him and take the test again next time.
Since she was already here, after chatting with Cao Yulan for a few words, Shen Miao walked into the school’s registration office again to sign up for the next review class.
Fortunately, with the help of Qin Xiaokun, I got a scholarship. Although I had to waste another half a year, I at least earned a few thousand yuan.
Unlike the last time you registered, this time there will be a teaching assistant asking if you have registered for a class at Xinglin Medical Auxiliary School before, you can go upstairs to consult the teacher and then register directly. This way you can save time in queuing and it can be considered a benefit for old students.
When she arrived at the class, Shen Miao saw several familiar faces among the dozen or so faces waiting in the class.
Seeing Shen Miao appear, they all opened their eyes wide in surprise. They never thought that Shen Miao, who usually had such good grades, would have to "repeat a grade".
The teacher in charge of the consultation had not arrived yet, and everyone was sitting in their seats, busy with their own things. Shen Miao still found a seat in the last row and sat down as usual.
A lot of people came to the class one after another. When they saw acquaintances, they greeted each other as if they were old friends reuniting, and were grateful that they would still have familiar friends on the road of study in the next few months.
Only Shen Miao was looking at the dry branches outside, his mind was empty without any emotion.
"elder sister!"
It was Luxin's voice.
When I turned around, he was standing outside the window of the corridor on the other side, waving at me excitedly.
He was still the same as usual, a little sun emitting warm light. After getting high scores in the exam, his light even became more dazzling.
He came into the room excitedly and pulled out a chair next to her and sat down. Like a puppy, Lu Xin bent down and then looked up at her. "My grandfather's secretary just said that you came to sign up, but I didn't believe it. I didn't expect you to really come!"
He was very happy to see Shen Miao, but when his slow reflex arc realized what was going on, the corners of his lips drooped again, and at the same time he held her icy cold hand: “I heard that you filled in the wrong test number, are you… okay?”
“Well, it’s good.” Shen Miao didn’t want to make the atmosphere so sad, so she straightened her spine a little. She tried to force out a smile and rubbed his bangs in front of his forehead. “I haven’t had time to congratulate you yet. It’s amazing. You got first place again this time.”
"It's okay, that's it." Lu Xin replied dryly.
Shen Miao: “Is this still considered ‘okay’? First in the district, seventh in the city! Oh, it’s already this time, don’t be modest.”
"He is not being modest, he is just not having the right reason and not having the courage."
I don't know who in the front row said something so sarcastic.
When Shen Miao raised her head, she realized that many people in the class were looking at them.
Shen Miao: “What do you mean?”
"What do I mean? Just ask Lu Xin and he will know."
