Chapter 120120
They thought they had made a mistake at first, and then checked Jiang Qing's school. It was indeed Wucheng No. 1 Middle School.
"Wucheng's results this year are not bad. The first and second place are both from Wucheng." The teacher of the competition class of the Provincial Normal University Affiliated Middle School said in surprise.
"What first and second place?" Teachers from other schools also came over curiously. As a result, they saw that the names behind the first and second place on the competition results sheet were Wucheng No. 1 High School and Wucheng Senior Middle School respectively.
Several teachers looked at each other in bewilderment. They really didn't expect that among the seven counties, five districts in the city, ten schools, and two schools in Rongchang County, two schools in Wucheng would win the first place.
If it was Wucheng Senior High School, they could understand it, but what about Wucheng No. 1 High School?
A teacher from the Provincial Normal University Affiliated High School couldn't help but say sourly: "Wucheng No. 1 High School has produced a good seedling this year."
"Who is the competition teacher of Wucheng No. 1 High School?" someone else asked.
Several people looked at each other in bewilderment. First, Teacher Ji was a new teacher. Second, the performance of No. 1 Middle School had always been eliminated in the first round of the city competition, and very few of them entered the provincial competition. Therefore, Teacher Ji was not very familiar with the teachers of the old and established city key schools in their city.
Some people who knew him said, "I heard that he won the first prize in the province and was recommended for the winter camp."
They didn't know the details.
A teacher said with emotion: "It turns out that he has been to the winter camp, no wonder he can teach such a good seedling."
Competition is so cruel. It is not enough to have good students, but also good teachers. Competition students must be taught by professional competition teachers. Ordinary math teachers cannot teach a good competition student. This is also the case with all the key high schools in the city. It is not that there are no students with outstanding grades, and even they can get the top ten in the city's examinations, but they are nothing in the competition, such as Wucheng No. 1 Middle School before.
Because there are no good competition teachers.
It was also after Principal Sun took office that he spent money to dig up Teacher Ji and another competition teacher. Together, the two of them made the competition results of No. 1 Middle School slightly better in the past two years.
They looked at Song Peifeng, who ranked second in two subjects and first in one, and said, "Wucheng's Wuzhong has Wucheng No. 1 High School catching up, and Wuzhong's scores have also improved. This time, the first and second places are both in Wucheng."
Jiang Xi's appearance also made Wucheng No. 1 High School enter the eyes of these teachers, and they asked them, "How many people have entered Wucheng No. 1 High School this year?"
They checked the list and found only two people.
Jiang Xi and Xing Hongyu.
Zhang Wenxue and Cheng Yufeng put all their thoughts on the school performance competition, and spent less time and energy on the competition. They were still outstanding in Wucheng County, but compared with so many top students from the whole city, their performance was not good enough. Although they were both excellent, none of those who could make it to the city competition were not excellent. The only difference was how much time and energy you spent on this matter.
They spent less time and energy on the competition, so they were naturally surpassed by others.
There is nothing wrong with this. Everyone's choice is different. Not everyone can do both competitions and school performance like Song Peifeng and Jiang Qi.
In fact, although they are all competition results, the results of the top five and those after the top five are falling off a cliff. Not everyone is suitable for the competition route. There are also many people who come to the city to participate in the competition and enter the provincial competition. They also know that they may not be able to perform well in the competition, but they still have reservations about the competition. Although their own results have dropped, they have never given up.
Only three other students besides Jiang Xi and Song Peifeng are determined to take the competition route and want to compete for the first, second, and third prizes in the provincial competition.
The third prize in the provincial competition can add ten points in the college entrance examination.
They will only be in the second half of the year. If the provincial competition results are not ideal, it is not too late to put energy into the college entrance examination. If they win the prize, they will get ten extra points in the college entrance examination. If they can enter the winter camp and be directly signed by the top ten universities, it will be even better.
Last year, more than a hundred students were signed by Tsinghua University and Peking University alone.
Xing Hongyu has some wildness and impulsiveness. After the final exam, he put all his energy into the competition. Especially during the provincial Normal University Affiliated High School exam, he encountered other schools ignoring and cold-treated their Wucheng No. 1 High School, which made him even more angry. After the city competition, he returned to the training team and worked even harder.
He didn't know if he could enter the provincial competition, but he wanted to try his best. The feeling of being ignored and cold-treated before made him feel very unhappy.
However, after learning that only he and Jiang Wu were admitted to the city training team, Xing Hongyu was very happy, but his face turned red quietly, and he was very shy.
Because he felt that he and Jiang Wu had an unspeakable fate.
Otherwise, Zhang Wenxue and Cheng Yufeng, who were ranked second and third in the school before, did not enter the city training team, so how come only he and Jiang Wu entered?
And he and Jiang Wu have more in common than just this. Jiang Wu was originally in a parallel class outside the top 200 of the whole grade, and he also rushed to the top 5 of the grade from the 60th in the grade in the high school entrance examination.
When a young man has a different feeling for a person, he will always rack his brains to prove that he has a different fate with this person.
Jiang Wu originally wanted to take advantage of the summer vacation to come to Shanghai with Jiang Bai. First, she could see the current decoration of the villa, and second, she could buy a shop near Jiang Bai's school. She didn't want to make any money, but she wanted to give Jiang Bai something to do so that he would feel more at ease. Second, she could afford the shop now. In two years, the house prices in Shanghai will rise wildly, and she won't be able to afford it even if she wants to.
This shop is bought there. Even if it does nothing, just collecting rent will be enough for the future.
Unfortunately, plans are not as fast as changes. Who could have thought that she would be locked up in the training team during the summer vacation and not have a single day off.
After waiting for the results of the city competition, she thought she would have two days off, but Jiang Xi and Xing Hongyu were sent to the city training team together with the people from Wuzhong.
Because there were only two people from No. 1 Middle School going this time, when Jiang Xi chose to sit by the window, Xing Hongyu sat next to Jiang Xi subconsciously and was secretly happy. He pretended to look out the window from time to time, but actually looked at Jiang Xi with the corner of his eye.
No. 1 Middle School arrived early. Teacher Ji thought of his girlfriend. It was so hot, so he went downstairs and ran to the school gate to buy three bottles of soda. He brought one bottle each for Jiang Xi and Xing Hongyu. When he saw them sitting together, he pointed to the other seats on the minibus with the soda bottle and said, "There are few of us, so the bus has enough room. You don't have to squeeze together."
Teacher Ji was very thoughtful. The soda bottles he bought were already opened. Xing Hongyu and Jiang Xi didn't hesitate. After saying thank you, they sat back in their seats.
Xing Hongyu smiled and said to Teacher Ji, "Thank you, Teacher Ji. The students from Wuzhong haven't come yet. I don't know how many of them there are. I'll sit here first."
Because there were fewer people this time, the two schools booked a minibus instead of the big bus as last time.
Teacher Ji thought about the constant confrontation between No. 1 Middle School and Wuzhong, and thought it was okay for two No. 1 Middle School students to sit together.
Not long after, the two leading teachers from Wuzhong came out with six students from Wuzhong.
Only fifty people were selected for the market training team this time, two from No. 1 Middle School, six from Wuzhong, and the rest of the schools basically had about four to five people.
The people from Wuzhong were not surprised to see Jiang Xi and Xing Hongyu drinking soda when they got on the bus. They estimated that Jiang Xi from No. 1 Middle School would definitely get in this time, but they didn't know what her exam ranking was in the city.
Because there were only a few people from the two high schools this time, only eight people in total, the directors of the two schools did not follow, but arranged the registration and military training of the incoming freshmen in the school.
The leading teachers of the two schools were Mr. Liu and Mr. Zhou from Wuzhong, and Mr. Ji and Mr. Su from No. 1 Middle School.
Mr. Zhou and Mr. Ji were a young couple. Without the director to follow, Mr. Zhou had not yet got on the bus, but Mr. Ji had already come up with a refrigerated ice soda, and the two sat together as soon as they got on the bus.
When they arrived in the city, the people from No. 1 Middle School got off the bus at the gate of the Municipal Hospital.
Teacher Ji and Teacher Su bought some fruit and a bunch of carnations in the store opposite the hospital, and took Jiang Xi and Xing Hongyu to the Municipal Hospital to visit the former Dean of the Academic Affairs Office of No. 1 Middle School, Director Zhang.
Director Zhang was still hospitalized in the Municipal Hospital, and his wife was taking care of him.
Director Zhang was very happy to see Jiang Xi and his family coming over, and wanted to get out of bed, but was stopped by his family.
Teacher Ji and his family immediately said, "Lie down, lie down." They also hurriedly gave the flowers and fruit to Director Zhang's family.
Director Zhang said arrogantly: "Next time, just come and see me. No need to spend money to buy things. Look at what I have piled up here. I can't finish it. Take some back when you go back later."
Since Director Zhang fell ill and was hospitalized, his students came to visit him every day. They bought all kinds of fruits and health products, which he didn't need at all.
For him, the students' willingness to visit him was the happiest thing.
Knowing that two people were admitted to No. 1 Middle School this time, Director Zhang was also very happy. He encouraged Jiang Xi and Xing Hongyu: "Study hard in the training team and win glory for the school!"
Jiang Xi and Xing Hongyu didn't stay in the hospital for long and went back.
Seeing them go back, Director Zhang was very reluctant.
His family was too strict with him. He was not allowed to go out or eat anything. He could only lie in bed every day, which made him very uncomfortable. Finally, some students came to visit him, and he wanted them to talk with him more, but he also knew that they were still busy with study and work.
So when they left, the old man watched them leave the ward door eagerly, and then stretched his head out of the window to look down, watching the two figures wearing the blue and white school uniforms of No. 1 Middle School. After leaving the hospital, he could no longer see them, and then he lay back on the bed dejectedly.
After Director Zhang was hospitalized for illness, he had officially completed the retirement procedures. Now the director of the Academic Affairs Office of No. 1 Middle School is the former Director Xiao Wang. At the same time, a new director was promoted to the Academic Affairs Office, that is, Teacher Wang, the former head teacher of Class 3 of Grade 1, who likes to walk like a model.
Because both directors were surnamed Wang, the original Director Xiao Wang became Director Da Wang, and Teacher Wang became Director Xiao Wang. Everyone joked privately and called the two directors of the Academic Affairs Office "Big Wang and Small Wang".
But Director Zhang was very lonely and had not adjusted his mentality after just leaving the teaching position he had fought for all his life.
His family saw him looking at the students walking away with eager eyes, and said to him while peeling apples for him: "If you really want to go back to school, listen to the doctor, don't drink, take good care of your illness, and come back to school when you are well. After all, it's close and you can see it."
Director Zhang nodded obediently.
Jiang Xi and his friends no longer lived in a hotel for this training, but in the new dormitory of the Provincial Normal University Affiliated High School.
Because the school had not started yet, the new dormitories were still empty, so Jiang Xi and Wu Zhong's Ruan Hong were assigned to the same dormitory.
After the two put their things down, they were called by the teachers to go to the training team's class.
The training team was divided into three classes: physics, mathematics, and chemistry. However, there were also students like Jiang Xi and Song Peifeng who signed up for all three competitions, so in addition to small classes, there were also large classes.
This was the first training team class, which was a large class.
Students from local high schools in the city arrived one after another from eight or nine in the morning.
They knew they had joined the city's training team, but they didn't know their specific scores. After arriving at the training team, they saw the top 50 score rankings posted on the wall. However, all of them were representing their city to compete in the provincial competition. After their names, there were only scores on the score list, but no school was written. It
was just that several schools in the city, like the schools in Wucheng, often took joint exams together, so everyone was more or less familiar with the names of their respective schools.
But they really couldn't remember the names of Jiang Xi and Song Peifeng on the top.
So when they entered a school, they asked each other if Jiang Xi and Song Peifeng were from their school. When they entered a school, they asked again. As a result, students from the city's schools came in one after another. Soon, they all arrived, but they still couldn't find out who Song Peifeng and Jiang Xi were.
However, the third, fourth, and fifth place students had all arrived. When asked, they all said that they were not from their schools and had never heard of them. It
was not until after ten o'clock that people from Wucheng Senior High School and Rongchang Second Middle School arrived. Everyone went over to ask and found out that Song Peifeng was from Wuzhong Senior High School. They asked them again if Jiang Xi, who was ranked first, was from their school.
The students from Wuzhong and Rongchang Second Middle School also shook their heads.
It was the students of Wuzhong who said, "We know Jiang Xi. She is from Wucheng No. 1 Middle School."
"Wucheng No. 1 Middle School?"
"Is she impressive?"
Jiang Xi and her classmates were the last to arrive among all the schools because they went to visit Director Zhang. She and Xing Hongyu, led by their teacher, had just entered the training class when they saw everyone inside looking towards the door. Someone was whispering, "Look, look, this is Wucheng No. 1 Middle School, right? People from Wucheng No. 1 Middle School are here."
