Chapter 7272 [Second update]
Why is she ranked first?
It’s no wonder that Wu Zhong’s teacher was confused. When he said this, the other teachers were also confused, “What Jiang Ning?”
The other teachers came over to see what was going on, and saw that the teacher who copied the ranking list had written the first place: Jiang Ning.
The second place is Song Peifeng. They all know him, and those who have never seen him have all heard of his name.
At this time, there was a one-point difference in the scores behind their respective names.
Jiang Ning was in front and Song Peifeng was behind.
No wonder Wu Zhong’s teacher was confused. They were also confused and asked the same question as the teacher who copied the name: Who is Jiang Ning?
The first-year high school teachers who came tried hard to recall Jiang Ning's name, but they really had no impression of her. It was as if she had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
However, the first-year high school teacher who stayed here was familiar with this name and said in surprise, "She is the first place?"
"Do you know her? Is she famous? Why haven't we heard of this student before?" The teachers at Wuzhong were puzzled.
It's no wonder they don't have doubts. After the high school entrance exam every year, the top ten students are the ones that the admissions teachers of No. 1 Middle School are crazy about recruiting. The top twenty and thirty students below are also their key targets, but the scholarships are less than those for the top ten. Still, many students are tempted every year.
The admissions teachers at No. 2 Middle School have also come into contact with these students who ranked high in the high school entrance examination. Generally speaking, they are familiar with the top dozens of students, even if they are not from their school.
But they really had no impression of Jiang Ning at all.
The two teachers from No. 1 Middle School looked at each other and said with some surprise, "She ranked tenth in the last exam. We all thought that Xing Hongyu and Zhao Yufeng would be in the top three this time, but we didn't expect it to be her."
Naturally, these two students also made it into the top ten in the county, but one was ranked fourth and the other sixth. The second and third were both from Wuzhong. The second one was the top scorer in the previous high school entrance examination and the hot favorite for the first place in the county this time - Song Peifeng.
The fact that Song Peifeng didn't get first place in the county and was taken away by an unknown student made the teachers in Wuzhong all look upset. On the contrary, the teachers in No. 1 Middle School, who had never expected to get first place, smiled so hard that their teeth showed: "Oh my, what a surprise, what a surprise, Old Wang!"
The director of the Academic Affairs Office of No. 1 Middle School immediately laughed. Regardless of the performance of the second and third grades, the first graders won anyway.
"She is usually in the top ten in her grade at school. Who would have thought that she would perform so exceptionally well this time?"
"Yes, this student is not an exam-oriented person. Who would have thought that she would be so stable in the joint examination!" The two directors of the Academic Affairs Office of No. 1 Middle School, Director Zhang and Director Wang, were both very surprised. They had never expected that the first place in this joint examination would be won by a student from a parallel class in their school.
They hurriedly comforted Director Wang of Wuzhong: "Hey, it's just a joint exam, it's nothing, it's not the college entrance examination, right?"
"Yes, yes, this is only the first year of high school, there are still two years to go. Come on, come on, look at the students below."
As a result, when the statistics of the top ten students in the first year of high school came out, among the top ten, because of the sudden appearance of Jiang Ning, the student from Wu Middle School who was originally ranked tenth, was directly squeezed to eleventh place. In other words, among the top ten, six were from No. 1 Middle School, four were from Wu Middle School, and none were from No. 2 Middle School.
Teacher Wu Zhong's face turned black, but in contrast, the teachers from No. 1 Middle School laughed and said modestly, "This is really unexpected, unexpected."
No matter it was an accident or not, it could not hide the fact that No. 1 Middle School suppressed Wu Middle School. Even in the later results of the top 100 and top 200, the number of people in Wu Middle School was more than that in No. 1 Middle School. But many people did not look at the top 100 and top 200, they only cared about the top 10.
Other high school teachers are the same. They only pay attention to how many places their school has among the top 200 students. As for the proportion of Wuzhong and No. 1 Middle School, they only look at the top ten.
In their hearts, they were all laughing at Wu Zhong, who always thought highly of himself, but on the surface, they all smiled and said, "Yes, Director Wang, this must be an accident. They are only in the first year of high school, why are you in such a hurry? We can hold two more joint exams later and see their results."
Then I can see the complicated expressions of teachers Wuzhong twice more, haha.
"That's right, Director Wang. One result doesn't mean anything. It's just one point difference. Next time, the first place will definitely be from Wuzhong." These words were simply stabbing Wuzhong in the throat, but they were said with smiles on their faces.
If you weren't all smiling so happily, I might still believe that you were really comforting me.
But how could Director Wang let them make a fool of themselves? Without changing his expression, he asked another teacher who was transcribing, "Teacher Zhou, have the rankings for the second and third year grades come out? Bring them here for me to see, and see the percentage of each school in the top ten and top 100."
Come on, let’s hurt each other!
The news that No. 1 Middle School took six of the top ten first-year high school students spread throughout No. 1 Middle School overnight. Both teachers and students were excited. The results of the first-year high school students completely overshadowed the second and third-year high school students. As for the proportion of the second-year high school students in the top ten in the county, no one cared. The key point was that the first-year high school students beat Wuzhong and a girl from No. 1 Middle School took the first place in the county. It was simply unbelievable.
"Who is this? So awesome?" Even the sophomores and juniors heard the news and became curious about who this freshman girl was.
The truth is, for so many years, the top scorer in the senior high school entrance examination has always been from Wuzhong, and No. 1 Middle School has never been able to find one. If you are lucky, you may get the second or third place, but if you meet a wealthy family, they will not even let you find them. So over the years, whether it is the college entrance examination or the joint entrance examination, Wuzhong has always been ahead of No. 1 Middle School, and there are very few people who have been beaten back by No. 1 Middle School. Otherwise, the people of Wucheng would not think of Wuzhong, not No. 1 Middle School, as the best high school in Wucheng.
It can be seen that the reputation of Wuzhong over No. 1 Middle School is deeply rooted in people's hearts.
But this time, the first place was taken by someone from No. 1 Middle School.
This cannot be blamed on Song Peifeng, who was originally the top student in Wuzhong’s grade.
Because Song Peifeng performed very stably, just like every time he performed before, he was far ahead of others and his score was ridiculously high.
Even the head teacher of Wuzhong's Class 10, yes, Wuzhong's key classes are exactly the opposite of No. 1 Middle School, they are Class 10 and Class 9, the head teacher of Class 10 was also disappointed when he saw the ranking of grades, and he had to come to comfort Song Peifeng: "It's not that you did poorly in the exam, this was purely an accident. It's normal for someone to do well in the joint exam. Even one more or one less point in the essay may affect the ranking. This doesn't mean that her grades are really better than yours."
The head teacher of Class 10 is not making this up.
The Chinese composition was graded by the same teacher. There were joint examinations of several schools and thousands of compositions. At the beginning, the teacher could still read and grade the compositions carefully. But later on, unless the composition was particularly eye-catching, the teacher basically became numb to it. Sometimes, he would not carefully read how the composition was written, but would look at the title, format, citations, etc., just like a mathematical formula. The teacher saw that the student had prepared several major elements of an excellent composition, so he took a rough glance at the composition and gave a grade based on his feeling if he thought it was good.
Otherwise, how could we finish correcting thousands of essays in just over a day? Even God can’t see it all.
They are teachers themselves and have marked joint entrance examination papers, so they are very familiar with this system. So sometimes a few points more or less really depends on luck.
In his opinion, Jiang Ning was just lucky this time and was given a few more points by the examiner, while Song Peifeng performed very stably.
Song Peifeng himself was quite calm.
He is not a native of Wucheng. He went to the best schools in the provincial capital for both elementary and junior high school. He had excellent grades in his original school. Later, he followed his father to Wucheng due to his father's job transfer. He took the high school entrance examination in Wucheng, and his results were far superior to those of the local students in Wucheng. After entering high school, he was always the top student in the grade of the best high school in Wucheng. His classmates and teachers from his original school would often send him review papers and review guides for the important high school in the provincial capital. He would also take them out and share them with the high school teachers here, never keeping them to himself.
He looked at the score of a classmate who got one point higher than him, smiled at the teacher who comforted him, and said, "It's okay, teacher. If there was a classmate who really got good grades, I would be happy too."
His father is now the top leader of Wucheng. If two students can be admitted to the top universities in the country during his father's rule in Wucheng, it will be very good news and a political achievement for his father.
He himself is working hard to get into those two schools, and he hopes that this classmate will not let him down.
The ranking of the county's academic performance was first spread among teachers in a small circle, and then posted on the bulletin boards of various schools...mainly Wuzhong No. 1 Middle School and No. 2 Middle School.
No. 2 Middle School posted the ranking of the top 100 students in the grade, and then the number of students from the school who made it into the top 200 in the county. As for the specific rankings, they were not marked. They only wrote the good news that these ten students made it into the top 200 in the county. They posted their names and photos on the honor roll, and awarded them each a scholarship ranging from fifty to one hundred yuan.
This is already a lot of money. Even Wuzhong and No. 1 Middle School may not necessarily set up scholarships in exams like the joint entrance examination. Generally speaking, scholarships are only awarded after the final exams of each academic year.
This time, the honor roll was posted during the day and did not cover the ranking list of the previous midterm exam. Instead, a separate space was vacated on the other side of the bulletin board to post the county's performance ranking list.
The teachers at No. 1 Middle School are very interesting. They posted the rankings of the first year of high school on the left bulletin board, and the rankings of the second and third year students on the right bulletin board.
The grades on the bulletin board of the first year of high school are posted like this, for example: First place, Jiang Ning, followed by brackets with the score and school.
Second place, Song Peifeng, brackets, score and school.
Third place: …
Therefore, all the students in No. 1 Middle School can clearly see how many students from No. 1 Middle School and how many students from Wu Middle School are among the top ten, especially the first and second, with No. 1 Middle School on the top and Wu Middle School on the bottom. The contrast is very obvious and it is clear at a glance.
Regardless of whether they knew them or not, when they saw the rankings on the list, even if they were not the ones who got such results, they all puffed out their chests and felt proud, as if they had got first place and surpassed the students of Wuzhong.
The name Jiang Ning has become a legend in No. 1 Middle School.
Before, many students who only focused on studying and didn’t pay attention to anything else also noticed this name. They all asked everyone who this Jiang Ning was. When they learned that this talented person was from a parallel class, they were all surprised and gave him a thumbs up: Awesome!
Even the students in Class 1 and Class 2 of Grade 1 talked about Jiang Ning's performance in the competition class, saying that she had only been in the competition class for a month, but she had surpassed many of them in the exams who had only been studying for three months.
"How come I'm not surprised at all that she got first place in the exam?"
"It's still a bit unexpected, right? That's Song Peifeng, eh?"
Many of them have never seen Song Peifeng, but they have seen Song Peifeng's high school entrance examination results.
Song Peifeng was a talented person whose score in the high school entrance examination was several tens of points higher than the second place. In the subsequent exams, he never failed once.
If it weren't for the dark horse Jiang Ning who suddenly emerged this time, Song Peifeng would definitely be the first place this time.
In fact, Song Peifeng's performance in this joint examination is still unforgettable to many people.
"This Jiang Ning is improving so fast, it's simply abnormal!"
Many people were indeed surprised, the only one who was not surprised was Jiang Ning himself.
Jiang Ning had an impression of the name Song Peifeng, and they even had some interactions later on.
In her second year of high school, a banner was hung at the gate of Wuzhongzheng for a whole year. It read: Congratulations to our student Song Peifeng for being admitted to Tsinghua University with the top score in the city's college entrance examination.
Students from No. 1 Middle School and Wuzhong School have been looking up to this name for a whole year.
A year later, Jiang Ning was admitted to another nationally renowned 985 high school with the highest score in the county and third in the city. This time, her name was hung on the banner at the gate of No. 1 Middle School for a whole year.
When they met again later, Song Peifeng was already a young local leader who was being trained by the higher-ups. She was also seen as a confidant of the big leader. Whenever people from Wuzhong talked about their alma mater, they would inevitably mention Song Peifeng, and whenever people from No. 1 Middle School talked about their alma mater, they would inevitably mention Jiang Ning.
With this comparison, the two schools seem to be evenly matched.
Your school has outstanding alumni, and so does our school!
Although in reality Song Peifeng is more capable and his future achievements will be smoother, but privately people can't help but compare the two people based on their family background. One has the blessing of family background, and the other... maybe he has the blessing of luck.
At that time, many people chose to forget what Jiang Ning had experienced in high school.
Yes, Jiang Ning was not surprised by her results. After all, she had accumulated all her strength in high school and finally broke out. She had achieved results that amazed everyone. Later, when everyone looked through her resume from childhood to adulthood, some people said that she was lucky, some said that she had good psychological quality, and was an exam-oriented person. She usually kept a low profile, but when it came to major exams that determined her life, she always managed to surprise everyone. When encountering all the key turning points in her life, she could always choose the most correct path, and she knew how to make choices and stand on the side.
Mr. Wang, the head teacher of Class 3, Year 1, walks with the wind. He is tall and has long legs, and walks like a model on TV, with an indescribable charm of elegance. Coupled with his pride that he always can't help showing off, he looks radiant. The head teachers and English colleagues in the office are happy for No. 1 Middle School, but they can't help but feel jealous.
This Old Wang was just lucky to have picked up a student like Jiang Ning.
I managed to hold back from saying a few sarcastic words to him at this moment, asking him to curb his arrogance.
But when there was nothing to brag about, Teacher Wang wanted to hold the teacup and show off to the whole office building. Now that there is something to brag about, he has to hold the teacup and ask everyone he meets: "The joint entrance examination results are out, have you seen them? Oh, how come our parallel class got the first place in the county!"
When someone saw Teacher Wang, they greeted him: "Teacher Wang, are you in a good mood?"
"You also know that our class ranked first in the county in the joint exam."
"Where are you going, Teacher Wang?"
"Go check out the list on the bulletin board. The one at the top is Jiang Ning from our class. You know her, right?"
The teachers who greeted him were all very angry and amused. Fortunately, this was a big happy event for the entire No. 1 Middle School, so they resisted the urge to beat Teacher Wang.
Jiang Bai, who never paid attention to the grades on the bulletin board, also saw the familiar name standing high at the top of all the names.
His eyes felt slightly hot.
Tong Jingang beside him was so excited that he jumped up and down like a monkey, and he hugged Jiang Bai's thin shoulders tightly with his arms: "Baizi! Baizi, did you see that? Our sister is too competitive! No. 1 in the whole county, this is the first in the whole county!"
Although not every high school in Wucheng participated in the joint entrance examination, several influential high schools did. For high schools in remote towns, whether or not they participated in the joint entrance examination did not affect the overall situation. Basically, the top students in the county were included in these high schools.
So, this is truly the first in the county.
Tong Jingang never thought that he, a poor student in No. 1 Middle School, could actually meet such an awesome girl. This girl is the younger sister of his good friend. To round it off, she is his younger sister!
Jiang Bai wanted to laugh, but it didn't come out at once, and tears wet his eyes first.
He tried his best to restrain himself and didn't want anyone to see the heat in his eyes, but he couldn't help but let his tears overflow.
He looked up at the sky, trying to force back the heat, but a slightly cool tear rolled down his Adam's apple and was drowned in his warm scarf.
Then he laughed.
"Yes." He replied proudly, "My sister."
