Chapter 5
"Your most important task now is to get into Delin Middle School." Thinking of what Yu Fu said to him two days ago, Yi Hanxing, who had wanted to slack off for a while, sighed and began to study hard again.
After all, every minute wasted will not only make you feel overwhelmed by guilt, but may also cause you to fail the exam! After all, it’s not easy to get into Delin Middle School!
Delin Middle School is one of the best middle schools in Shanghai at this time. What is rare is that compared with other schools that are better at literature and foreign language education, this middle school is better at physics and biology.
The most important point is that this middle school is the alma mater of weapons design expert Sun Cheng.
"Sun Cheng is currently quite famous in Shanghai. His alma mater is planning to have him become a teacher there. Of course, it'll just be a nominal position, with the teacher occasionally giving lectures and guiding students through experiments." Yu Fu explained to Yi Hanxing, "School will start in about two weeks. Your task will be to join the school's physics experiment group and be responsible for communicating with Sun Cheng on a daily basis. Sun Cheng will also increase the frequency of his visits to the school to provide guidance to you."
When Yu Fu said this, he didn't consider the possibility that Yi Hanxing would fail the exam.
What else could Yi Hanxing do? After graduating from high school, he dove headfirst into computer science, a promising field. Before crossing over, Yi Hanxing hadn't touched any of the physics, chemistry, biology, or other subjects for about a decade. After crossing over, due to his conservative family, he had only received a liberal arts education, with no access to relevant subjects, not even a single book.
Being able to quickly pick up relevant knowledge while studying at the base was already a blessing from the solid foundation laid by his junior and senior high school teachers. Now, Yi Hanxing really has no idea whether he can be admitted to Delin Middle School.
But Yi Hanxing has a characteristic, that is, when others have high hopes for her, she always dares not let them down, so she can only study hard.
Not only should we learn, but we should also learn well.
The tuition fee of Delin Middle School is not cheap, and Yi Hanxing is afraid that he will waste the limited funds, so he has set his sights on the scholarship offered by Delin Middle School.
Delin Middle School not only provides a scholarship covering tuition, accommodation and even living expenses to the first place, but also waives tuition and accommodation fees for the second and third place students. In addition, the first place in each subject among the admitted students can also be exempted from tuition.
The examination subjects of Delin Middle School cover Chinese, mathematics, English, physics, biology, geography, history, and physical education. Yi Hanxing feels that even if he cannot get the first place in the whole school (after all, Yi Hanxing really cannot compare with the Chinese and history literacy of students these days), he should at least try hard to get the first place in a single subject, right?
At least in this situation, Yi Hanxing would not feel any guilt knowing that he had done his best.
Besides, the entry threshold for the physics experiment group of Delin Middle School is not low, and it is not easy to join.
Therefore, during the review period, Yi Hanxing was reading about mechanics formulas in his dreams.
Outside the door, Zhuzi brought the freshly cooked dinner and asked Yu Fu, "Are you still reading?"
"She's asleep." Yu Fu replied, "Let her rest for a while. She can have some noodles when she wakes up in the evening."
Zhuzi had no objection: "When she applied to a middle school, I was more nervous than when I first touched the wooden warehouse."
"Haha." Yu Fu laughed. "So do you understand how anxious and angry Mrs. Yao in the alley gets when she sees her son studying every day?"
"That's impossible to understand. After all, Han Xing is still working very hard." Zhuzi couldn't help laughing.
Yi Hanxing didn't know about the concerns behind Yu Fu and Zhuzi, and continued studying until the day of the Delin Middle School exam came.
Early in the morning, Zhuzi brought breakfast over and said, "Eat quickly, or you won't be able to make it in time for the exam."
For breakfast, Zhuzi heard Yi Hanxing casually say that a fried dough stick and two eggs represented 100 points, so he bought them early in the morning for a good omen.
Yi Hanxing hurriedly ate the blessing breakfast bought by Zhuzi.
"Check your things again? Did you bring your pen and ink? Did you bring your admission ticket?" Yu Fu started nagging again.
"I brought it." Yi Hanxing replied quickly.
"Open it again and take a look?" Yu Fu said.
Yi Hanxing listened to Yu Fu and Zhuzi, who were like his modern parents, nagging and urging him before his high school entrance exam and college entrance exam, and couldn't help but sigh that from ancient times to the present, parents who accompanied their children to take exams were all similar creatures.
Under the arrangement of Yu Fu and Zhu Zi, Yi Hanxing arrived at the school gate an hour early. At this time, the school gate had not yet opened, but there were already many students at the gate of Delin Middle School.
The morning in early spring is a little chilly, and the small vendors are the best at finding the time to set up their stalls. Knowing that many students will take exams today, many snack stalls appeared at the door.
"Dad, I want to eat wontons." A teenage boy nearby said to his father.
"I don't know if this is made outside or not. What if I get sick and it affects my exams?" The boy's father refused, "Didn't I give you steamed buns this morning?"
"There's no taste in my mouth after eating steamed buns." The boy said, smacking his lips.
"Don't eat anything greasy before the exam. It can easily upset your stomach," the boy's father emphasized again, then added comfortingly, "When you pass the exam, we'll buy you two pounds of pork belly."
The boy didn't hesitate any longer and agreed: "Okay, then I'll read some more books."
Yi Hanxing watched the boy reading a book, took a deep breath, and thought to himself that there is always a shortage of books. With the idea of rolling up the books together, he took a deep breath and inhaled the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes, then opened the Chinese book, intending to read the poems again to deepen his impression.
With a creaking sound, the iron gate of Delin Middle School was opened.
"Brother, you guys go back first. I will go back by myself after the exam is over." A student said to his family.
"It would be too uncomfortable for us to go back now. We've already taken time off to see you off. It would be more comfortable if we just wait outside."
"You guys are having a good time, but I'm under a lot of pressure." The student muttered.
"Then you, brat, just take the test and check your paper several times, okay?!"
On the other side, a student ran out of a car and shouted, "I know, I know!"
The various scenes of life in front of the school gate made Yi Hanxing unable to help but put on a smile. Suddenly, he felt like he was dreaming back to his student days.
In this era, those who could study and pass the middle school entrance examination could have enough food and clothing, which seemed to be similar to later times. There was a warm breeze that intoxicated the tourists and made them mistake Hangzhou for Bianzhou.
Yi Hanxing turned his eyes and looked back to see the skinny rickshaw driver with protruding ribs and the lady with bound feet who needed a maid to support her. Yi Hanxing's relaxed mood tensed up again in an instant. He took a deep breath, said hello to Yu Fuzhuzi, and stepped into his own battlefield.
"Hanxing should be able to pass the exam, right?" Zhuzi said to Yu Fu while looking at Yi Hanxing's back.
"We have to believe in her," Yu Fu replied, thinking to himself: We have to believe in the millions of young people who are working for the new China in this era.
