Chapter 42



Have a good new year, what a simple wish.

But for students with poor academic performance, it is so difficult to achieve.

If you don't do well in the final exam, it will be a big problem that you won't get the New Year's money. Even having a good New Year's Eve dinner would be hit hard by my grades. The gossip girls who usually have nothing to do with each other gathered at one table and asked the children about their grades.

After asking, you can start to slander.

But this situation will not happen again this year.

Yu Qingyan pursed her lips, with an exceptionally bright smile on her face. She carefully folded up her score slips and prepared to go home and give her parents a surprise.

Huaxu made great progress this time. With Zhou Xiu's help, he passed the math test for the first time, and his score in comprehensive science also increased by more than 60 points.

Du Feiyang improved by more than 200 places, from a poor student at the bottom to an average student. If he had a tail, it would probably be so proud that it would be raised to the sky.

He said happily: "Go and repost my Weibo, I will announce the prize in ten minutes. Ten people will be picked and ten will share the ten thousand yuan equally!"

Du Feiyang, who is usually stingy, finally became generous for once.

Huaxu took out his phone and glanced at Zhou Xiu who was reading English. "Xiu Xiu, please forward this. There is a one in four chance of winning."

Zhou Xiu expressed regret that without Weibo, "I won't participate."

Du Feiyang urged her: "Xiu Xiu, please register quickly. I'll wait for you."

At Du Feiyang's urging, Zhou Xiu closed her English textbook reluctantly, took out her cell phone, registered a Weibo account, and reposted Du Feiyang's Weibo post.

Xu Qing originally wanted to forward it, but when he heard Du Feiyang's words, his thumb stopped on the screen, and finally he turned off the screen and put the phone in the drawer.

Du Feiyang started a lottery the moment Zhou Xiu retweeted the post. At that time, the number of retweets was only 16.

The poor students who didn't have time to forward the message glared at Du Feiyang: "What about the ten minutes you agreed on?"

Du Feiyang smiled and shook his phone, saying confidently, "I can't help it. I'm just biased."

Too many people lowered the winning rate. What if Zhou Xiu didn’t win?

He stretched his neck to look at Zhou Xiu at the table in front of him and asked, "Xiu Xiu, did you win the prize?"

Zhou Xiu saw the winning information automatically sent by the system in the private message, nodded, pursed her lips and smiled: "I won."

Du Feiyang felt very happy and transferred money to the students who won the prize one by one.

Only Tan Ming was sitting in the corner with an expressionless face, drinking his drink one sip after another.

If it wasn't for the words "sports energy drink" on the plastic bottle, the dull look on his face would make people mistakenly think he was drowning his sorrows in alcohol.

Du Feiyang, who was handing out red envelopes, patted his deskmate on the shoulder as he was about to land: "Mingming, it's okay, keep working hard next semester."

"You've made progress too, but it's just not as obvious as ours."

Tan Ming: “…”

Before school was over, teachers from various subjects came to distribute the test papers and praised the students in Class 24. Especially the chemistry teacher, he asked with a smile:

"I heard that your class has a secret weapon this time?"

After grading the test papers, the chemistry teacher found that the average score of Class 24 was nearly ten points higher than that of the monthly exam, which is a very rare thing in normal exams.

Yuan Ruoyi handed the old materials she had read to the chemistry teacher.

The chemistry teacher flipped through a few pages and gave it high praise: "It is indeed a secret weapon."

This collection of notes is easier to understand and more concise than the tutorial book. It contains many clever problem-solving techniques that even the teacher has never taught or seen. It really took a lot of effort to put it together.

After all the test papers for other subjects were distributed, the mathematics test paper arrived late.

As usual, Mr. Huang scolded the poor students in Class 24. The math subject in this monthly exam was quite difficult, and he was too lazy to even look at the average score of Class 24. He was about to leave the classroom after handing out the test papers.

At this time he was stopped by a student.

"Teacher Huang, please give us some comments on the test paper!"

This was the voice made by Yuan Ruoyi. The poor students looked at her in surprise and were all silent. They looked at the seriousness in Yuan Ruoyi's eyes and couldn't help but be stunned.

After a while, other students also called Mr. Huang one after another: "Mr. Huang, please talk about the test paper."

"I feel that the final exam is complete only after listening to Mr. Huang's comments."

"It's still early, and we don't want to leave school so early today."

Seeing this, Du Feiyang ran up and "invited" Lao Huang back to the classroom.

Teacher Huang: “…”

His brows were deeply furrowed as he looked at these poor students with suspicion. His feet that were heading towards the office were stopped abruptly.

God knows when these poor students became so fond of studying.

Teacher Huang had no choice but to take the test paper, find a few questions that were easiest to get wrong, and review them. He looked at the pairs of shiny black eyes below the podium, and his face couldn't help but lengthen and his mouth drooped.

Okay, he gets it.

After finishing his review, he sighed, "The students have made great progress this time, and Zhou Xiu also did well in the exam - I admit that you are all pretty good."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was warm applause from below the podium.

They clapped their hands so hard that their hands almost turned red, but they didn't care.

This time they cheered for themselves, applauded their classmates, and applauded for the days when they had been insulted and would never return.

They truly gained the recognition and respect of their math teacher.

A burst of warm applause floated out from the window of Class 24, spread throughout the entire corridor, and the sound lingered for a long time.

Students from the two classes next door came to Class 24 to take a look in surprise, thinking that something had happened.

Old Huang took a look and met those pairs of eyes. There was a strange light flashing in the students' wet eyes.

After the applause stopped, Lao Huang's face, which had been as black as the bottom of a pot, gradually returned to normal. "Okay, okay, don't be so proud. The college entrance examination is still a long way off."

"I'm leaving!"

After Lao Huang left, the whole class couldn't help laughing happily. Du Feiyang breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm not a piece of barbecued pork."

"I'm not trash either." said a poor student.

"Not trash!" added another.

"I never thought I would hear Lao Huang's praise in my lifetime."

Oh, the sound makes my whole body feel numb, it sounds more sweet than a subwoofer.

“Hahahahahahahaha—”

"He also told us not to be proud."

Is it possible for poor students? No, they can spend the whole year proudly.

Zhou Xiu couldn't help but curl her lips and couldn't even read the English book.

After school.

The behind-the-scenes story inquired about Lu Lingshan's grade ranking, but she didn't expect that she wasn't even in the top 100 this time.

She received the news and was surprised: "Didn't Qi Yaguang say that she would definitely be in the top ten in her grade?"

A friend of the behind-the-scenes reporter said, "Lu Lingshan... got 81 points in math."

My mom did not even as well as her in the exam. The tidbits were shocked.

Yu Qingyan came over to take a look. This was a message sent by the student council of the Wen Na class to the behind-the-scenes students.

Huatui didn't even need to ask the student council member, and immediately called: "She didn't say that she was not feeling well and it affected her performance in the exam, did she?"

The “Typing…” displayed on the screen suddenly cut off.

The student council member of the Wen Na class directly sent a voice note: "Ahhhh, Sister Xu, you are amazing."

Tidbits snorted.

As a rival who had not gotten along well with Lu Lingshan for several years, Huaxu knew her temper very well.

Although Zhou Xiu scored over 80 points in English, her English has always been poor. It doesn't make sense that Lu Lingshan's body weight would be 140 at one moment and over 80 at another. This "abnormality" is too abnormal.

Huaxu told his friend: "I understand. It's for face."

She quietly dug out the Weibo post where Zhou Xiu and Zhou Xi were compared and criticized by Lu Lingshan’s brainless fans, and reposted the comment: “Zhou Xiu, 150; Lu Lingshan, 81.”

No matter whose face is, it is still face.

After school, Zhou Xiu went to the biology teacher's office to pay the tuition for the winter vacation competition.

Xu Qing just came back from the office to pay his tuition. He asked Zhou Xiu, "Are you going to take the biology class?"

Zhou Xiu nodded.

Xu Qing smiled slightly, "See you next week then."

The biology preliminary competition will be held when school starts in March, so the biology class decided to use the winter vacation time for training, and therefore there is no homework in the biology class.

Zhou Xiu had to take an extra week of biology classes during the winter vacation, and she had to pay the thousand yuan in her pocket before she could even warm it up.

The system said: [Don’t feel bad about this little money. 】

Only if you are willing to invest in learning can you gain more.

[Ding——Won the first prize in the preliminary round of the Biological League, reward 5000RMB]

[The top 5 in the preliminary round will be rewarded with 10,000~1.5WRMB, and the top 3 will be rewarded with 15,000~3WRMB. 】

Zhou Xiu looked up in shock.

The biology teacher asked in surprise: "What's wrong? Any other questions?"

It is not very humane to give extra lessons during holidays. Therefore, the biology class remedial lessons are mainly voluntary and not compulsory.

The biology teacher was worried that the student would regret it and would not want to make up for the lessons, so he advised earnestly:

"The period from January to February is the sprint period for review. Make good use of it and fill in the gaps so that you won't be panicked when the exam comes. If the competition wasn't earlier this year, it wouldn't take up your winter vacation time."

Zhou Xiu shook her head and said firmly: "Teacher, please rest assured, I will come to class on time."

When Teacher He looked down at the student, her eyes were full of longing and the smile on her face was so bright that it could dazzle people.

He was infected by Zhou Xiu's positive attitude. He had never seen a student who loved tutoring so much.

"Okay, the teacher will wait for you."

Teacher He had no idea about Zhou Xiu’s troubles.

A semester ended, there were no more exams and no more homework, and Zhou Xiu suddenly lost many sources of income. Zhou Xiu is very worried because she has not yet found the money to pay for next year's tuition.

If she still can't raise the 90,000 yuan tuition before her senior year of high school, she might as well transfer to a regular high school.

After listening to the task issued by the system, if I don't study hard, I will be sorry for Zhou Xiu's worry over the past few days. It’s just a biology test, can it be more terrifying than English?

system:【……】

Blame me, blame me, blame me for being too picky.

Zhou Xiu pursed her lips and walked out of the office happily.

The moment I walked out of the school gate, the system started to ring:

【If you rank first in Mathematics in the final exam, you will be rewarded with 2,000 RMB. 】

【If you rank first in Chemistry in the final exam, you will be rewarded with 2,000 RMB. 】

[A student who ranks first in biology in the final exam will be rewarded with RMB 2,000. 】

【Students who achieve a final exam score in the top 10 will be rewarded with RMB 5,000. 】

【If the total score of the final exam reaches 2% of the class, a reward of 1,000 RMB will be given. 】

Zhou Xiu almost forgot that the system would give out rewards for the final exam. She touched her pocket in shock. The tens of thousands of fresh RMB stuffed into her cotton coat made it bulge slightly.

At the same time, the mobile phone in her pocket vibrated slightly, and a text message popped up saying that the bank transfer had arrived. Bank of China successfully transferred +25,000, with the detailed note: scholarship.

At this moment, Zhou Xiu's sense of happiness reached its peak. This is a happiness that cannot be compared with reselling the equipment given by Xi Shaoyuan, getting Du Feiyang's canteen card, Xu Qing's hotel card, and Zhang Qi's free travel.

She curled the corners of her mouth and happily walked out of the campus carrying her schoolbag.

After Zhou Xiu returned home, she quickly changed the medicine for her father.

As the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. Although Zhou Cheng stayed in the hospital for half a month, he still needed to stay in bed to rest after returning home. The house was filled with a strong smell of Chinese medicine.

Zhou Cheng said: "Xiu'er is so happy today?"

Zhou Xiu took out her cell phone and showed her father the scholarship she had received.

Zhou Cheng was startled and rubbed his eyes in disbelief, "So many?"

The couple couldn't earn that much money even if they worked for two months.

Zhou Xiu showed her little tiger teeth, "Not much, I didn't do well in English. The students who did well in the exam all received scholarships of 80,000 or 90,000 yuan."

She rubbed Zhou Cheng's feet to clear the meridians, "So--"

"I have a scholarship and have applied for a grant, so I don't have to worry about tuition. Dad can just stay at home and recover from his leg. I'll find another job in the spring."

Zhou Xiu never thought that Zhou Cheng was suitable for doing physical work. He had never been as strong as others since he was a child, and he had to take a break after raking the soil when working in the fields.

He has been preparing wedding banquets for others for so many years and has become an excellent cook. With so many foodies in this city, his cooking skills will surely find a market.

It’s just that the job at the construction site was introduced by a fellow villager, and I had to rely on that favor, so I couldn’t afford to break the appointment.

Zhou Xiu said slowly, "Dad is not very strong, and he won't be able to do that job on the construction site for long. The food you make is so delicious. When spring comes, you and mom can set up a stall together, and I guarantee that business will be booming."

Zhou Xiu said all the good and bad things about him. Zhou Cheng's eyebrows drooped, deep wrinkles appeared at the corners of his eyes, and he felt mixed emotions.

"Hey, hey, I'll listen to Xiu'er."

He touched Zhou Xiu's head with his rough big palm.

The author has something to say:

Xiu'er: If you can't learn to death, then learn to death

Could biology be scarier than English?

The poor students shed tears of ignorance: "..."

English is really not as scary as biology.
