Chapter 3737 [Update 1]
The students in Class 3 don’t understand the expectations of other classes for the monthly exam. After all, Teacher Wang has never attracted the hatred of other classes. Teacher Wang only comes to tease them.
Teacher Wang himself is a very energetic teacher with a high enthusiasm for teaching.
From the morning reading at 6 o’clock in the morning to the evening self-study at 9:30 in the evening, he can maintain a high energy state throughout the day. He is full of energy every day, like a fighting chicken ready to fight at any time.
His state also affects the learning state of the students in Class 3, as if they are always ready.
He teaches students by taking advantage of every opportunity. Even when he meets students from Class 3 passing by during breaks, he will ask them in English about the content of the English lesson that day or yesterday, and ask them to answer him in English. It doesn’t matter if your answer is good or not, he must make you speak. If you don’t speak once, he will keep staring at you and asking.
He will also write some dialogue sentences related to the words learned that day and stick them on the side of the blackboard, so that you can learn and review anytime and anywhere.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t remember the words and sentences you have learned. Just walk past the blackboard wall, take a look, and ask the students around you a question. In the question and answer, you can practice speaking and review the content learned yesterday.
Even the students in Class 3 who were not interested in English, did not like English, and did not like to memorize words, had to roll up their sleeves when the head teacher could randomly check them anytime and anywhere, which made the atmosphere of learning English in Class 3 of Senior 1 thicker.
This also made them not nervous at all when facing the upcoming monthly exam.
I don’t know if they are nervous about other subjects, but they are definitely not nervous about English. Even He Xiaofang, who ranked last in English in the class, felt that she would definitely not do badly in the exam this time during her daily English conversations with Jiang Xi.
It is also the learning atmosphere of Class 3 where people speak English anytime and anywhere that makes the eyes of Class 1 and Class 2 look at Class 3 as if they are faintly murderous when they pass by them.
After all, Mr. Liu is not the head teacher of Class 1 and Class 2. The time he spends in Class 1 and Class 2 is limited, and he can't keep the class in such an atmosphere of practicing English at any time like Mr. Wang does.
The head teacher of Class 1 is a math teacher, and the head teacher of Class 2 is a Chinese teacher. These two teachers wish that all unimportant secondary courses were used to teach Chinese and math.
If nothing unexpected happens, when the second year of high school is divided into arts and science, the two head teachers of Class 1 and Class 2 will definitely be the head teachers of the key arts class and the key science class in the second year of high school.
"Hey, hey, hey, look at them, are they looking at you again?" He Xiaofang was sitting by the window in the first group. She was very sensitive to other people's eyes, not to mention that they were looking at Jiang Xi, who she cared about the most.
Every time Class 1 and Class 2 passed by their class, she would notice them immediately, and naturally she would not miss their eyes looking at Jiang Xi every time.
Jiang Xi, who had no idea that he was hated by the English teacher of another class, looked out the window without caring: "Don't worry about them, read your own books, have you finished your math problems?"
He Xiaofang, who also had a headache about math, physics and chemistry, wailed and buried her head in her math book: "Math is so difficult! Physics is so difficult! Chemistry is also so difficult!"
She really wanted to cry!
She studied entirely with hard work and effort, and only then could she squeeze into No. 1 Middle School.
In junior high school, she relied on hard work and effort to surpass other students. In high school, all of them were top 30 students in their grades in various township middle schools. She was sandwiched between these truly smart top students and was drowned out. This made her already unconfident state even more inferior and unconfident.
Especially when she was with Jiang Xi and Xu Xiuli every day, she could really feel the difference in IQ.
It took her a long time to understand a question, but Jiang Xi and Xu Xiuli could master it effortlessly after listening to it once. However, she needed Jiang Xi to explain it to her over and over again, breaking it down and explaining it to her several times before she could fully understand it. She was not without frustration.
But seeing that Jiang Xi was already so smart and working so hard, she raised her head and continued to study!
Xu Xiuli looked back and saw He Xiaofang's face full of pain. She couldn't help but pursed her lips and thought it was funny, and continued to practice questions.
The teachers in No. 1 Middle School were very clever and put the monthly exam on Friday.
Originally, there was no evening self-study on Friday night, but now they have an extra evening self-study time. The teachers can use the evening self-study time to finish the monthly exam in one day, and then use the weekend and National Day holiday to correct the test papers,
and the test papers can be distributed to them on Tuesday. For Jiang Xi, the monthly exam is no different from the weekly classroom test, and it is very easy to complete.
After each exam, He Xiaofang liked to check answers with Jiang Xi. Jiang Xi’s answer was always: “It’s all over. What’s there to check? Have you finished reviewing for the next subject?”
He Xiaofang, who always felt that she had to review endlessly, screamed and quickly took out her book to read.
Xu Xiuli looked at He Xiaofang in a low voice and said softly: “Xiaofang, you can come to me to check answers. I’ll tell you.”
He Xiaofang sternly refused: “I don’t want to. I’ll never check answers with you even if you kill me.”
Jiang Xi knew that she wrote something wrong and would only encourage and comfort her. Xu Xiuli’s answer would only discourage her.
Xu Xiuli couldn’t help but laugh when she saw her like that.
When she was having dinner in the evening, she ran into Jiang Bai in the cafeteria. Jiang Bai came over and asked her if she wanted to go home tomorrow.
Jiang Xi's first reaction was, where does she have a home?
Then she thought of her grandfather and his small house on the mountain.
The small house on the mountain did not belong to her grandfather, but to the forest ranger.
After her grandfather passed away, the small house that carried her childhood memories was taken back by the brigade and handed over to the next forest ranger. All traces of her and her grandfather in the small house disappeared without a trace as the new forest ranger moved in.
She nodded and said, "Yes."
"Then I'll go back with you."
Jiang Bai wanted to take advantage of the two-day holiday this time to go back quickly and bring some food back to school. According to Jiang Xi's eating habits, he was afraid that Jiang Xi would eat up the food coupons before the end of the semester and would have nothing to eat.
He knew too well what it felt like to be hungry. It was too uncomfortable.
His sister was still young and ignorant. She could spend the food coupons as she wished. But he had to consider her food problem in the future.
He said, "Then we will leave tomorrow morning."
The minibus would be waiting at the gate of their school in the morning. If they missed it, they would have to go to the station to catch the bus.
If she walked to the station, it would take nearly an hour, and the bus would cost fifty cents.
Because of the monthly exam, which would last until nine o'clock on Friday evening, all the students who had been going home on Friday evening had to leave on Saturday morning.
"It's not possible in the morning." Jiang Xi thought for a moment and said, "I can only leave at about ten o'clock."
She wanted to use Saturday morning to write a manuscript of more than 10,000 words for Wang Yong. She had been busy with the monthly exam these days and had no time to write. During the three-day National Day holiday, she had to go home to pick up her grandfather to go to Shanghai for a physical examination. She might not have time to write, so she had to hurry up and write more tomorrow morning.
Wang Yong knew that she had a monthly exam, and she had a lot of manuscripts saved before, and she didn't need to waste time on the road to receive the manuscripts in the mailbox, so Wang Yong told Director Li that she would wait until after Jiang Xi's monthly exam to write the manuscript.
After knowing that Jiang Xi was a high school student, Director Li had already prepared for this. This was only the first year of high school. In the second and third years of high school, there would be less time to write. By then, "The Great Song" should be finished, right?
At that time, there was no concept of the National Day holiday. There was only one day off for National Day, and there were only three days including the weekend.
"Then I'll wait for you downstairs tomorrow morning."
"Wait for me at the school gate."
Because of the school's rule that prohibits male and female students from getting together, when Jiang Xi and Jiang Bai talked, He Xiaofang and the others sat far away in the girls' seats and watched, and could not hear what they were saying.
He Xiaofang thought Jiang Xi would not go home for the National Day. When she thought that in the next three days, she and Jiang Xi would be the only ones in the dormitory, she was so happy that she almost jumped up. She got up very enthusiastically to help Xu Xiuli pack her things and carry her bag. She sent her to the school gate and waved goodbye to her.
Xu Xiuli: ...
Although I was helped, I didn't feel happy at all.
She looked at He Xiaofang with pretended worry: "Xiaofang, you won't go back for three days off?"
He Xiaofang waved her hand nonchalantly: "No!"
Her eldest sister took the children back to her parents' home. Her house was not big enough to begin with, and now there was no place for her to sleep. If she went back, what would happen to her eldest sister and her nephew?
Xu Xiuli took Jiang Xi's hand again: "Xixi, you don't want to go back either?"
Jiang Xi smiled and said nothing.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Xu Xiuli didn't force it, but smiled and said to Jiang Xi coquettishly: "Xixi, I'll bring you delicious food when I come back."
I don't know when Xu Xiuli and He Xiaofang started to call Jiang Xi's nickname.
Xu Xiuli's voice was originally soft and thin. She called Jiang Xi's nickname in such a soft and coquettish tone, just like a shy girl acting coquettishly with her boyfriend. He Xiaofang was so angry that she threw her luggage on the roof of the minibus: "Hurry up, the driver is urging you!"
Xu Xiuli reluctantly held Jiang Xi's hand until they got on the bus, and then she reluctantly let go.
He Xiaofang was so angry that she grabbed Jiang Xi's hand and dragged her to the school: "Let's go, let's go for a run."
The school's minibuses leave very early. The ones that are closer are fine, leaving at around six o'clock, and the ones that are farther away are waiting at the school gate at four or five in the morning, so that after sending the students home, they can still pick up another batch of morning passengers.
Jiang Xi had breakfast and went to the Internet cafe.
Wang Yong had been waiting for Jiang Xi at the entrance of the alley. Knowing that Jiang Xi might have already had breakfast at school, he made her a cup of soy milk. After typing 12,000 words and sending them to the magazine's mailbox, it was already past nine o'clock. Wang Yong hurriedly reminded her that the manuscript fee from "Martial Arts" magazine had been paid.
Wang Yong had been waiting for his royalties for a long time. He came to Wucheng for a business trip for a month. Although the travel expenses could be reimbursed, they were not paid in advance. They were all paid at the end of the month together with his salary and bonus.
He received a total of 600 yuan in salary and bonus this month, of which 300 yuan was his salary after he became a regular employee, 60 yuan for travel expenses, and the rest was all bonuses after he brought in Jiang Xi as an author.
His bonus for one month alone was almost as much as his classmates who had a regular salary.
After all, his classmates who had a regular salary only received 280 yuan a month.
Jiang Xi was so focused on the monthly exams that she forgot about the manuscript fee. After all, she was not a student who had just graduated from junior high school and entered high school. She had not touched a textbook for so many years and had already forgotten a lot of knowledge. She needed to spend a lot of time reviewing before she could remember the knowledge she had learned.
There was a bank at the gate of their school. After she came out of the Internet cafe, she went straight to the bank.
The bank at the gate of the school was very small, with only a storefront and two windows inside. The main service objects were students from No. 1 Middle School and Wu Middle School. There were several other banks nearby, all not far away.
Jiang Xi received two manuscript fees this time, one for 1,600 yuan and the other for 6,840 yuan.
The total was 8,440 yuan, plus the 1,500 yuan that Jiang Xi had saved before, which was almost 10,000 yuan.
Even the bank staff couldn't help but look up at Jiang Xi when they saw the number on her passbook. They were also very surprised to see such a huge amount of money on the passbook of such a young classmate.
After all, it has not been many years since the concept of a 10,000 yuan account in the 1980s. 10,000 yuan was a huge amount of money everywhere, even in the mid-1990s. If you tell others about it, you will be envied to death.
She looked at the source of the large amount of funds in her account, and the remittance units were all magazine companies.
This also made her feel relieved, and at the same time reminded the little classmate: "Be sure to take care of your passbook."
These days, others can use your passbook and ID card to take the money out of your passbook.
Jiang Xi naturally knew this truth.
Today's ID cards are still handwritten, and the ID card photos are black and white, with very blurred facial features. Find someone with a similar face shape to yours, take your ID card, and say it's theirs. You don't even need an ID card, as long as you know your password, they can take the money out of your passbook. It's
really a bit unsafe to hold such a huge amount of money in your hands.
She took some cash and kept her passbook safe, then left the bank. As soon as she left, she saw Jiang Bai waiting at the school gate with his bag on his back. Seeing her leave the bank, he looked a little serious. Jiang Bai couldn't help asking, "Are you out of money?" Jiang
Xi looked at her second brother and nodded slowly, "Yes."
