Chapter 80: Isn't your goal too high?
After making her bed, Gu Yin was about to read a book when her homeroom teacher called her to the office.
When I arrived at the office, there were only a few homeroom teachers inside.
“Teacher.” Gu Yin walked to Wang Shumei’s side.
Wang Shumei looked up and smiled, "You're here? Sit down. Help me register the scores on this form. Register the Chinese scores first, then register the math scores."
Gu Yin nodded, took the form, and then a thick stack of Chinese exam papers. The first one was hers. The full score was 120, and she got 120. She had been practicing and paying attention to the composition and the neatness of the paper. As long as these two things were fine, it was quite easy to get a high score in Chinese.
She was busy until evening self-study session before she finished recording the grades for all subjects.
Wang Shumei glanced at the time and nodded: "You've worked hard. Do you want to grab something to eat? You have half an hour. Eat first, then go back to the classroom."
Gu Yin shook her head: "I'll grab some late-night snacks after evening self-study, it's fine. I'll head back to the classroom now."
Wang Shumei nodded upon seeing this: "Take the Chinese test papers and distribute them. I'll be explaining them later. Go ahead."
Gu Yin walked out of the office with the test paper. In this exam, she only lost two points in politics, getting 98 points. All the other scores were full marks. The total score was 860, and she scored 858. The second place was her deskmate Zhao Xiaomin with a total score of 830, and the third place was Song Pengfei with a total score of 820.
Back in the classroom, the students quieted down when they saw the test paper Gu Yin brought. After all, it was a test paper, and now that the scores were out, it would be a lie to say they weren't nervous.
Gu Yin looked at everyone and said, "This is the Chinese exam paper. I'm going to hand it out now and ask for your opinion: should I read out the score or not?"
"I won't read it!"
"read!!"
Gu Yin smiled and nodded: "If it's too loud to read aloud, then we won't read it aloud. If you want to know other people's scores, you can see them when the homeroom teacher posts the rankings. Okay, let's hand out the test papers first, and the homeroom teacher will come over to explain them later."
After evening self-study, Gu Yin didn't go to the canteen, but instead went to the convenience store to buy instant noodles. She wanted to know Gu Shu's exam results. Gu Shu usually didn't go to the canteen, but always went to the convenience store.
Sure enough, just as she finished making her instant noodles and sat down, Gu Shu and the rest of the class walked in. When they saw her, they greeted her, ran over and got a bowl of instant noodles, and brought it to Gu Yin's table.
"Why are we eating here tonight? Not in the cafeteria?"
Gu Yin shook her head and nodded: "I came here especially to wait for you. How was the exam?"
Gu Shu covered the instant noodles and let them soak slowly. Hearing this, he said proudly, "Fifth in the class, tenth in the whole grade! How about that, isn't that great?!"
Gu Yin calculated the number of students from this school who were admitted to the county's key high school in previous years and shook her head: "No, in previous years, the highest number of students who were admitted to the county's key high school was only the top six, and the lowest was only the top three. Your tenth place is not enough. There are still more than three months left, so you have to study like crazy."
Gu Shu sighed: "Is Experimental Middle School really that bad? It's considered a key school."
"No, big brother, I'll go to Jiang City High School, and Ahua will go to the county's key high school. With our combined efforts, we'll both get into Beijing. Ale is still young, so he might go to the city for junior high, or even Beijing. You'll go to Experimental High School. Look at how many students from Experimental High School get into Beijing? Only one or two every year. Do you think you can get first place there? No way, right? Then our whole family will go to Beijing, and you'll be the only one here studying at university?"
The instant noodles were ready. Gu Yin took a bite and continued, "You can go to the county's top high school. Your grades might not be very good there, but the teaching environment is better, the teachers are better, and you'll be surrounded by top students. We have a house in the county. I'll ask my uncle to find you a tutor on weekends. If you study hard at the county's top high school for three years, you can have an easier time. If you study hard at the county's experimental high school for three years, you will work very, very hard, and the results won't be proportional. Think about it yourself."
Gu Shumeng ate several large mouthfuls of instant noodles. Thinking that he would be the only one left here while his family all went to Beijing, he suddenly felt miserable. Fine, he thought, he might as well work himself to the bone.
"Fine! I'll do my best! I'll even forgo eating and drinking! I'll get into the county's top high school! But sis, isn't setting your sights on the city's top high school a bit too high?" It wasn't that he looked down on his sister, but it seemed like there were very few people in the entire county who could get into that school, and their town only had one in decades!
Gu Yin glanced at him, then took a tissue from the side to wipe her mouth: "I risked my life. I'm leaving now. You can eat slowly."
Watching his sister's heartless back, Gu Shu quickly finished the rest of his noodles. Fine, let's fight it out!
In May, Jiang City was already getting hot. The students took off their thick coats and put on light cardigans, and the young and strong men were already wearing short sleeves.
"Are we really going to sign up so many people?" The sports committee member looked at the vice class monitor in shock.
Gu Yin nodded: "Yes."
"100 meters, 300 meters, 400-meter relay, 800 meters, 1500 meters, high jump, long jump, shot put, rope skipping, vice class monitor, you've already signed up for so many, how about basketball, volleyball, badminton, and table tennis as well?" the sports committee member continued to ask.
Gu Yin said regretfully, "I'd like to too, but the time conflicted, and ball games take a long time, so forget it!" She chose those nine, and each one only needed to be participated in once.
The sports committee member touched his nose and nodded: "Then after school, when someone goes to practice, remember to get a feel for it too. There are so many people, let's just do our best. It doesn't matter if we get a ranking or not!" He was afraid of putting too much pressure on the vice class monitor and ruining him. If he was ruined by the training, the teacher would definitely skin him alive!
Gu Yin nodded: "Yes!" After class, I can go over and wander around. I don't need to worry about anything that requires stamina, but I need to learn some techniques for high jump.
The sports meet will begin on May 10th.
On May 8th, after finishing her Chinese class, Gu Yin felt a bit unwell in her stomach. Thinking she had diarrhea, she went to the toilet, but she didn't feel the urge to defecate at all. However, as soon as she returned to the classroom, her stomach started to feel uncomfortable again.
After assessing her physical condition, Gu Yin found it bearable. When school ended at noon, she stood up to go eat, but Song Pengfei stopped her.
Gu Yin turned around and saw that his expression was strange, and he seemed a little embarrassed and didn't dare to look at her.
"What's wrong?" Gu Yin asked.
Song Pengfei's eyes darted around: "Um, cough, well, your pants, your pants are dirty."
Dirty? In an instant, Gu Yin realized her unusual behavior today. Looking at Song Pengfei's expression, what didn't she understand? Okay, he's on his period. He's grown up.
"Thanks." After saying that, Gu Yin turned around awkwardly, took off her coat and tied it around her waist, then quickly left the classroom and ran to her dormitory.
