Chapter 84 The First Assessment of the Girls' School
Compared to the excitement of others, Chen Yingchun only felt that his palms were sweating from nervousness.
No one accompanied her today, but she didn't care about that at all. She was only worried that she would mess up the test later.
In her opinion, this is not just a test, but another important turning point in her life.
Previously, her mother-in-law went to the girls' school to make a scene and wanted to get back the private money she had saved for tuition, but was driven away by Mr. Cui. After that, the county yamen runners had been patrolling this area. The old lady did not dare to go to the girls' school to make a scene, so she kept making trouble at home, making the family restless.
At first, her husband was able to stand on her side despite the pressure from his mother, but her husband was a filial son. After the old lady made a fuss for a few days and then lay in bed pretending to be sick, her husband hesitated and wanted to let her drop out of school and go home.
Although Chen Yingchun had guessed the outcome long ago, he still felt a little disappointed.
It seems that nothing has ever gone her way since she was a child, including marrying a man.
Chen Yingchun always sighs when she thinks of her reaction that day. She doesn't know where she got the courage from. She stood in the small courtyard at that time, and she had never been so determined. "Quitting school is impossible, but we can get a divorce. You can marry another obedient woman."
The man was frightened by her words at first, and then he became angry.
But Chen Yingchun didn't feel afraid at all. She even hoped in her heart that it might be a good thing if they could get a divorce. She didn't know where she got such a bold idea from.
In the end, the man compromised because he didn't have the money to marry another wife.
"Ding-ling~"
The bell of the girls' school rang, and the crowd that was chatting busily fell silent. Before they could understand what was happening, the children had already sprung into action.
They each brought their relatives to the seats arranged in the living room and sat down. For today's assessment, Cui Qingyi arranged the assessment location in the living room.
The space here is quite large, and even after moving the children's embroidery frames and the square stools for the parents, there is still plenty of room.
Qi Yuan told Qi Moxuan and his wife, "Dad and Mom, just sit here and watch me take the test carefully."
Fan Hui tapped her daughter's nose with amusement, "Okay, now you know your parents will definitely be watching you without blinking."
Old Mrs. Li was sitting next to Fan Hui. She felt that she was even more nervous than her granddaughter who was about to take an exam, and her palms were sweating.
When Cui Qingyi came out, she saw that the candidates and their parents were already seated, and everyone had a serious look on their faces.
"Everyone, don't be so nervous. Although this is an assessment, the most important purpose is to allow you to directly see the children's learning results over the past three months.
Let you know that the children are working hard in school and your efforts are not in vain."
Although Cui Qingyi said this, the atmosphere at the scene did not relax much. Instead, everyone was a little nervous.
This is probably the wonderful thinking of parents. There are so many people here and if their children don’t behave well, they will be laughed at later.
Seeing this, Cui Qingyi said no more and directly announced the start of the assessment.
Konjac came on stage and announced the duration and content of the assessment.
Each child was first given a ball of messy embroidery thread, and they needed to separate the threads by color and arrange them neatly within half a quarter of an hour.
This tests basic skills, a person's patience, carefulness and eyesight.
Fan Hui really looked at Qi Yuan without blinking, worried that Qi Yuan's impatience would cause the embroidery thread to become tangled. Master Konjac had just said that if the embroidery thread became tangled once, it would mean failure in the first round of assessment.
But after a while she smiled. Qi Yuan did not let her down. She concentrated on separating several thread ends from a tangled ball of thread, and then, without knowing how she did it, she separated a complete embroidery thread with just a few pulls.
Old Mrs. Li also stared at her daughter Li Miao closely. Seeing that her movements were only slightly slower than Qi Yuan next to her, she felt relieved.
The first person to finish the first round was Chen Yingchun. The embroidery threads placed in front of her were arranged neatly by color.
The female shopkeeper of Jinxiufang looked at Chen Yingchun with shining eyes. She had been doing business for so many years and had a first-class eye for people. She felt that Chen Yingchun was a good seedling. If she could hire her Jinxiufang, her big customers would not have to wait in line in the future.
The more she thought about it, the more feasible it seemed to her. She had previously asked Cui Qingyi and they didn't plan to do the embroidery business in the future, so this wouldn't be considered poaching.
The second round of the assessment is to select pictures, and there should actually be a drawing item.
However, Cui Qingyi cancelled this step based on the actual situation. She drew the drawings herself and sent them to the candidates.
But this picture is not colored. Children need to choose appropriate embroidery thread based on their understanding of the pattern. Their personal level can actually be seen at this step.
After all, everyone has different aesthetic tastes, and their understanding of the picture is biased, so the final product will have different qualities.
Top embroidery masters must have a top understanding of beauty.
This task is relatively time-consuming. The children were fully focused on the embroidery. No parents present were chatting and they were eager to get closer to watch.
As usual, Chen Yingchun was the first to finish. She put down the embroidery needle, moved her stiff shoulders, and looked at the peony flowers that appeared on the embroidery frame.
This small flower used three kinds of embroidery threads for the pistil alone, and the petals are even more delicate. Of course, the finished product lived up to her efforts. If you don't look at the embroidery frame next to it, it seems to be alive.
Qi Yuan was the second one to stop. Unlike Chen Yingchun, the first thing she did after putting down her embroidery needle was to look at Fan Hui and Qi Moxuan. Fan Hui smiled broadly at her daughter.
Even Qi Moxuan secretly gave her a thumbs up. He didn't expect that his daughter's embroidery skills had reached such a level. He admired Cui Qingyi and Konjac even more.
As the saying goes, teaching a disciple will starve him to death, but these two people are very generous when teaching their students.
Li Miao's movements were a little slower, but he managed to complete the assessment within the specified time without any major problems. Old Mrs. Li felt that her heart had finally settled down.
Although it was an assessment of her granddaughter, she was more nervous than anyone else present. She was afraid that Li Miao was too slow to catch up with the others, and she was worried that Li Miao would prick her hand with the embroidery needle because of her clumsy hands. When the incense used for timing was almost burned out, she was worried that Li Miao would not be able to finish the embroidery. There was nothing in the entire assessment that she was not worried about.
Fortunately, it is finally over now.
Since this is an assessment and results exhibition, it naturally cannot end like this. The next step is also the top priority of today.
Cui Qingyi stood in front of the crowd again, and the female manager of Jinxiufang also walked to the front with a smile.
She is also a celebrity in Dongping County. After all, a woman running such a big business is known to everyone on the street.
