Chapter 666 [Second update]

Jiang Xi scored 82 out of 100 on the test paper, which was already very high.

Everyone was a little surprised: "So high?"

Several girls came to Jiang Xi's side to look at her test paper. There were also boys who wanted to come over to take a look, but No. 1 Middle School was very strict with male and female students. Male and female seats had to be divided into groups, and they were not allowed to sit together on weekdays, so they were a little hesitant.

But they were really curious, so they stood a little further away from the girls and looked over.

Then they were surprised to find that Jiang Xi had done more than them. Because they were short of time and the test paper was really difficult, they left a lot of blanks, while Jiang Xi had basically done all the questions correctly.

That is to say, if Jiang Xi was given more time, she would be able to finish the test paper and her score would definitely be higher.

This made them face up to this classmate from the parallel class for the first time, and they had a new understanding of Jiang Xi in their hearts: this girl is so strong!

After a month in the competition class, everyone was not as unfamiliar as before. Seeing everyone looking at Jiang Xi's test paper, several boys from Class 2 also came over curiously.

There were few girls in the competition class, and there was no grouping of boys and girls. Teacher Ji was more open-minded and did not discuss the grades with these students, but he was afraid that the director of the political and educational department would see him and say something to him, so he deliberately walked to the door of the classroom and looked at the corridor outside to prevent the elusive director of the political and educational department from suddenly appearing at the door of the competition class.

After a while, the bell for evening self-study rang. After looking at Jiang Gui's test paper, the students returned to their seats. Teacher Ji then walked to the podium and looked at the group of students who were abused and looked pale with a smile on his face: "Have you seen your grades? Do you have any ideas?"

Seeing how friendly Teacher Ji was, the students couldn't help but speak out their thoughts, wailing: "It's too difficult!"

"Yes, it's really difficult!"

"Teacher, there is not enough time. Is there also such limited time during the competition?"

Teacher Ji said with a smile, "Of course not. It's not that our time is limited. We can only give you a few classes at night. There is only so much time, and you have to take the exam. We can only do this." He encouraged them again, "Don't be discouraged. If you are given more time, you will definitely get more than this score." He smiled and said, "There are also three students who scored more than 80 points."

He looked at the only three people in the class who scored above 80 points. Two of them were boys in Class 1, and they were usually among the top three in the grade in exams.

His smile was full of sunshine, and his eyes fell on Jiang Xi's face: "It seems that we have a chance to win a prize in the competition next year."

Jiang Xi was surprised to see that when Teacher Ji said "win a prize", his eyes fell on his face, and he couldn't help but say, Teacher, you are not talking about me, are you?

Do you have any misunderstandings about me?

You want me to participate in the Chinese competition, which is fine, but the math competition? She really didn't even think about it.

Teacher Ji thought that the principal had talked to Teacher Wang, and they all understood that Jiang Xi would concentrate on the competition in the future. She was in a very good mood and was much more energetic in class than usual. She also knew that Jiang Xi could really understand what he was saying, so she didn't slow down her speech as before to take care of Jiang Xi, a new student, but returned to his original rhythm.

Teacher Ji was originally sunny and smiling all day long. When he was in a good mood, he was very energetic when he taught the class, which made the students who had attended the class all energetic.

Even Jiang Xi, who was sitting in his seat and listening attentively on the surface, couldn't help but secretly think in his heart that it was really pleasing to the eyes to have a good-looking teacher teaching them.

The class was very harmonious, but in fact, the mood of these students was not as calm as it seemed on the surface.

At night, they returned to their respective dormitories and talked about Jiang Wu with other roommates: "She was ranked in the top ten in her grade before, and I knew there was a girl in the parallel class with good grades, but I didn't expect her to be so strong."

The other roommates were also surprised to hear this classmate's evaluation, because this classmate was already a top student in the class, and even he said so, so Jiang Wu must be really strong.

The same thing happened in the girls' dormitory.

There were five girls in the competition class plus Jiang Wu, and three of the other four girls were from Class One, and one was from Class Two.

After hearing about Jiang Xi's performance in the competition class quiz, the girls in the dormitory of Class 1 and Class 2 asked in surprise, "So amazing?"

"There are only three people who scored above 80 points, and she is one of them. She has only been in class for a month. Do you think she is amazing?"

Through this specific comparison, they had a clear understanding of the strength of the students in this parallel class for the first time.

Jiang Xi didn't know that others were talking about her in the dormitory, and she didn't know that even the principal knew her name, and that she was also being paid attention to by the principal and the director of the academic affairs office.

She just felt that Teacher Wang had been paying too much attention to her in class recently. He especially liked to call on her to answer questions in class, and all in English. After discovering that she could answer him fluently in English, she said more than just the dialogues she had recently learned in the textbook.

Before, Teacher Wang would call on her to answer questions or talk to him in English, but he only said the words and sentences learned in the English class that day. There were 60 students in the class, and Teacher Wang had to call on every student as much as possible to give every student a chance to speak. However, a class was only 45 minutes long, so it was impossible for him to call on everyone, nor was it possible for him to hold on to one student and talk to him for a long time. So in the previous exams, although he knew that her English grades were very good, he didn't know that her English was so good that she could communicate with him in English without any obstacles.

After learning that Jiang Xi's English was so good, not only did Teacher Ji want her to concentrate on the competition, but even Teacher Wang suddenly thought that Jiang Xi should not participate in any math and physics competitions, but should participate in English competitions.

Teacher Wang felt that Jiang Xi would definitely win a prize in the English competition.

However, there were few English competitions in their area, and most of them were held in the provincial capital. This idea only flashed through Teacher Wang's mind and then disappeared.

Students should still focus on studying, and participating in so many competitions would distract their attention, which is not a good thing for students.

Teacher Wang also greeted the teachers of other subjects, and they paid special attention to Jiang Xi in class. The result of being paid attention by the teachers was the same, that is, they liked to call on her to answer questions.

Other students in the class also noticed this problem. He Xiaofang took Jiang Xi's arm with some envy: "Xixi, I found that the teachers all like you very much~"

Jiang Xi raised his head and said seriously: "Isn't it normal to like me? I'm so good, it's abnormal not to like me, right?"

It was the first time that He Xiaofang saw someone who praised himself so seriously and said that it was normal for others to like him.

But looking at Jiang Xi who said it as a matter of course with a serious expression, He Xiaofang found that she liked Jiang Xi like this. She felt that Jiang Xi was like a glowing person that attracted her.

She nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, yes, our Xing Xing is so good, so smart, so beautiful, it's normal to like you." She nodded vigorously

, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that Jiang Xing was right. She was so good, who could not like her? It would be abnormal not to like her.

Xu Xiuli also agreed and said, "It's true."

She and Jiang Xing held hands, Jiang Xing squeezed her hand and said with a smile: "Not only me, you too, you two are also very good, very good girls."

Xu Xiuli couldn't help but raise her chin slightly, and the corners of her lips also slightly raised, and said proudly: "Huh, I know."

She has always known that she is excellent, but she still feels very happy to be said so bluntly.

He Xiaofang had never been praised so bluntly before, and she couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Really?"

She had been praised the most for being well-behaved, obedient, sensible, and hardworking. She harvested rice quickly, planted rice well, fed pigs well, and helped her mother with housework.

But no one had ever said that she was a very good girl.

Was she good?

She had always felt that she was a very stupid person, and that she had to work very hard to get her grades a little better.

Especially when she was in high school, with Jiang Xi and Xu Xiuli, who were really smart people around her, as a reference, she felt even more stupid.

But Jiang Xi said she was very good~

She held Jiang Xi's arm tightly and leaned her head towards him, wanting to rub against him intimately, but she was too tall and Jiang Xi was not tall enough, so she couldn't reach him, "Xixi, I like you too~"

Jiang Xi patted her arm: "You have good taste."

He Xiaofang's heart was filled with honey when she was praised by him. Xixi praised her for having good taste!

Xu Xiuli saw that she was leaning against Jiang Xi tightly, but she didn't care. On the other side of Jiang Xi, she held Jiang Xi's hand. The two girls, who were about the same height, held hands and swayed back and forth, with a leisurely posture.

Director Wang wanted to organize a joint examination, so he first told Principal Wu Zhong. Principal Wu Zhong had no objection, so he went to the principal of No. 1 Middle School and the director of the Academic Affairs Office to discuss the joint examination. Principal

Sun of No. 1 Middle School saw through Director Wang's idea of ​​pulling down No. 1 Middle School at a glance. No. 1 Middle School has always been the comparison group of Wu Zhong.

He couldn't help but frown and said, "The freshmen have only been enrolled for less than a semester, and the final exam is coming soon. We are organizing a joint examination at this time? What will we test?"

He looks very serious, tall and strong, and likes to wear all black. He is very imposing, and at first glance, he looks like a big boss on TV.

Director Wang of Wuzhong had long been accustomed to the cold face of Principal Sun of No.1 Middle School. He smiled and said, "They have studied for most of the semester. It is a good opportunity to see how they are doing. Don't relax and slack off just because they have graduated from junior high school and it is still early for them to enter the first year of high school. We must pay close attention to them."

Principal Sun poked the table with the tip of his pen and said, "Don't you know how they are doing? Don't we have monthly exams every month? Normally, the class also has weekly exams."

Director Wang was also tall and thin. He didn't know how they were doing. He was not afraid of Principal Sun's cold face, and his face was full of smiles: "Principal Sun, don't you want to know how they rank in the whole Wucheng? Usually these kids think that they are the best in the world after entering Wuzhong and No. 1 Middle School. It is just right to use the joint examination to let them know that there are mountains beyond mountains and people beyond people. If no one gives them some stimulation, how can they know to work hard?"

He was talking about the students of Wuzhong who think they are the best in the world, and they also bring them No. 1 Middle School.

The students of No. 1 Middle School never think they are the best in the world.

Principal Sun knew that this was to stimulate the students of Wuzhong.

Being used as a tool to provoke students from other schools, Principal Sun, who always thought that his school and Wuzhong were two key schools on par with each other, was a little angry in his heart. He was angry at the arrogance of Director Wang of Wuzhong, but he did not show it on his face. Instead, he stood up and walked to the wooden sofa chair in the office and poured a cup of tea for Principal Wuzhong and Director Wang: "Okay, you want to hold a joint examination, then do it. Which schools will participate?"

"I haven't called to confirm it yet. Didn't I come to discuss it with you?" Director Wang was smiling and spoke very politely.

No. 2 Middle School would definitely participate. Every time there was a competition, No. 2 Middle School would actively participate, wanting to be on par with Wuzhong and No. 1 Middle School.

But in Director Wang's view, it didn't matter whether other schools participated or not. What mattered was that No. 1 Middle School had to participate.

No. 1 Middle School is like the control group of their school. If No. 1 Middle School does not participate, what is the point of this joint examination? It is better for Wu Middle School to take the exam at school.

Only if Wu Middle School beats No. 1 Middle School in every exam, can it be considered a real winner.

"If you participate, I will talk to the Education Bureau to determine which schools will participate, how to set the test questions, who will set the test, and when will the test be set? Should we take the test now, or make the students' final exams a joint exam, or will we take the exam next year? Will it be for only one grade, or for all three grades of high school?"

Principal Sun couldn't help but think of Jiang Gui, the key university seedling that Teacher Wang talked about.

After both Teacher Wang and Teacher Ji said that this was a good seedling, Principal Sun went to learn more about her. After all, such a good seedling did not get in through the school scholarship, so this student must not be as outstanding as she is now in the high school entrance examination. So he looked at Jiang Xi's high school entrance examination results and her scores in every exam after entering No. 1 Middle School.

Like other teachers' concerns about Jiang Xi, Principal Sun was also afraid that Jiang Xi would be the kind of student who would collapse psychologically and do poorly in the big exams.

The joint exam of several schools is also a rare big exam, and it is not impossible to use such a big exam to train her.

He looked serious, with his hands on his knees, sitting upright, and said calmly: "Since we are going to do it, it must be for all three grades. The joint examination has been organized, so how can we only test one grade? It just

so happens that there is only the last half year left for the senior year, so we will have a big exam to let them adapt to the atmosphere of the college entrance examination first." Director Wang still smiled and said: "Then listen to Principal Sun, the three grades will take the exam together, so let's do it this way for the time being. After I talk to the Education Bureau, we will determine the participating schools, and then we will discuss the examination papers later."

They are all familiar with the people in the education system and often meet them in meetings, so it is really just a matter of greeting the Education Bureau.

The examination papers for the joint examination of the three grades must be determined by the deans of the academic affairs offices of several schools after the participating schools are determined.

Although Wuzhong was the one that took the lead, it was not the school that simply printed out the test papers, distributed them to each school, and then conducted the test. Each school had its own curriculum arrangements. For example, Wuzhong completed all the teaching content in the first and second year of high school, and entered the comprehensive review stage in the third year.

But not every school has such a tight teaching schedule. Many schools follow the routine, with the first year of high school taking the first year's courses, the second year's courses, and the third year's courses. Only at the end do they leave some time for review. This should be noted when making the test papers.

Don't let them put the third year's questions on the second year's test papers. Students from other schools will see that they have never studied them! Then what is the significance of the joint examinations of other schools? Is it to be your stepping stone, for you to step on?

Other schools participate in the joint examinations to achieve the purpose of training, and at the same time, they also want to see how big the gap is between their key schools such as Hewu Middle School and No. 1 Middle School, and which schools students should apply to in order to be safe when applying for schools in the future.

After all, the papers that they usually prepare themselves are definitely not that difficult in order to take care of the students' progress, and the college entrance examination papers must be much more difficult than the papers they usually prepare. Although the papers prepared by Wuzhong No. 1 Middle School are not as difficult as the college entrance examination papers, they are definitely close to the college entrance examination in terms of difficulty.

This is the purpose of their participation in the joint examination.

So when they received the notice from the Education Bureau that Wucheng was going to hold a joint examination and asked them whether they would participate, these schools all nodded and said they would participate to train their students.

It's just that they still need to discuss the time.

After Director Wang and others left, Principal Sun became more and more unhappy in his office. It was one thing for him to use the big exam to train students' psychological qualities, but it was another thing for others to use them as stepping stones to stimulate their school.

With a sullen face, he went to the Dean of the Academic Affairs Office and told him what the Dean of the Academic Affairs Office and the principal of Wu Middle School had told him about the joint entrance examination. When talking to the Dean of the Academic Affairs Office, he lost his dignity and complained, "This old Wang really doesn't take our No. 1 Middle School seriously at all. Does he think that the top 100 students are all reserved by their school? They are trying to gain fame by stepping on our No. 1 Middle School. If they succeed this time, they will not be able to recruit good students next time."

He said to the Dean of the Academic Affairs Office, "Talk to them. The head teachers of each class told them to study harder and beat Wuzhong in this joint exam! "

After thinking for a while, he couldn't help but said angrily: "Tell them that the top ten and top 100 students in Wucheng must not be less than Wuzhong!"

Although the top scorer in the high school entrance examination was in Wuzhong, there were also several students in No. 1 Middle School in the top ten, so he was not worried about the results of the top ten. He was worried that the number of students in No. 1 Middle School would be too far behind Wuzhong in the top 100 and top 200, which would be too embarrassing.

The head teachers who suddenly learned about the joint exam: ...

In normal exams, teachers set questions and test students, and the students are the hardest, but when the joint exam was announced, the pressure was suddenly placed on the teachers, and the teachers became nervous.

If they can't pass Wuzhong in the joint entrance examination, then they will be inferior to the teachers of Wuzhong in the future, right? They are all in Wucheng, and they see each other everywhere. They often see the meetings of the Education Bureau, so they all cheer up and encourage their students: "The time has come to really test you. Normally, I won't say anything if you don't do well in the exams. If you lose to Wuzhong in the joint entrance examination, think about it. Isn't it embarrassing? Everyone says that Wuzhong and No. 1 High School are the two best high schools. The two schools are located opposite each other, but Wuzhong always thinks it is superior to us. Do you also think it is superior to you?"

These words inspired the students who had just finished the monthly exam and relaxed, and shouted loudly: "No!"

"Yes! No! What does Wu Middle School have? Isn't it just that they are a little better than us in the annual competition? That's because we gave up the competition. We beat them in the college entrance examination! The joint examination is not a competition. It is a test of your accumulation in class. Do you have the confidence to beat them?"

The students blushed and shouted loudly: "Yes!"

If it was a competition, No. 1 Middle School might not be able to beat Wu Middle School. Wu Middle School has invested a lot of energy in this area, and the teachers are also very professional and strong. But if it was based on their usual grades, many of them were among the top dozens in the county in the high school entrance examination. In their respective high schools, they are also top students in the grade. How could they be afraid of them?

The teachers continued to motivate them: "It's no use just saying it, you have to take action!"

Jiang Xi didn't expect that the joint exam would come just after the monthly exam.

But the teachers didn't tell them the time of the joint exam. They only knew that there was such a thing and told them in advance, so that they could be mentally prepared in advance and study hard, so as not to embarrass themselves by doing too badly in the upcoming joint exam.

The atmosphere in the class suddenly became tense. The students who were originally laughing because of the end of the monthly exam didn't dare to run around and play after class, or sit in their seats and chat with others. They went to the toilet and came back to continue to practice questions.

Originally, they had two days off on weekends in the first year of high school. After the news of the joint exam came out, the first year of high school also had only one day off on Sunday, just like the second and third years of high school.

This is a bit inconvenient for Jiang Xi. She used to write on Saturday mornings and study for the test papers handed out by teachers in the afternoons. Now there is only Sunday, which means that she has to finish two days of manuscripts in one day. This is also a lot of pressure for her.

Writing too many manuscripts too intensively is too much for even Jiang Xi. She can only divide it into two sessions, writing for two hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon. Twelve thousand words each time, one day is equivalent to a week's worth.

This is already her limit. Even for someone as emotionally stable as her, she feels tired during such intensive writing.

Fortunately, she always adjusts herself. In other time periods when she doesn't need to write, she will also find time to sort out the next plot, outline, and details.

With an outline and a detailed outline, you don't have to think too much and naturally you won't be that tired.

But this is to find a way to squeeze in, really find a way to squeeze in, and the teachers don't even give you any time.

In the past, there was at least a break, but now, teachers like to keep the class going.

When the bell rings for the end of a class, the teachers continue teaching as if they didn't hear it, leaving only a little time for students to go to the bathroom.

You have to queue up to go to the bathroom, and everyone rushes back. If you are late, the teachers won't say anything, just wave their hands and let the students hurry in and continue the class.

If there are two consecutive classes, for example, the third and fourth classes are both math classes, then the math teacher will not be able to stop teaching. He will only ask after the bell rings: "Are there any students who need to go to the bathroom? No? Okay, we will continue with the class."

If there are students who need to go to the bathroom, they can just go by themselves, and the others will continue to stay for class.

It's not just one teacher, all teachers are like this, as for physical education classes.

Haha, sorry, there are no physical education classes in high school, only Chinese, math, and English classes.

English class is okay, Teacher Wang doesn't like to take up classes, but Chinese and math teachers like to take up classes. All the secondary courses that are not included in the college entrance examination are occupied by these main subject teachers.

In fact, the teachers are also very tired. They are also human beings. Who wants to work overtime? But there is no way. For teachers, students’ performance comes first.

The principal of No. 1 Middle School was satisfied when he saw how hard the students and teachers were working.

He was satisfied, and He Xiaofang was about to cry.

Because Jiang Xi's entire time was taken up by studying, there was no time to explain the questions to them in the dormitory at noon, and everyone stayed in the classroom to study.

Jiang Xi took this time to write out the outline and details in her notebook.

Others didn't know, but seeing how seriously she was writing, not stopping for a quarter of an hour, they were also working hard as if there was a whip behind them.

This was not the first time that Wu Zhong had done a joint exam for several schools, and they were familiar with it. After talking to the Education Bureau and communicating with the principals of several other schools, the time was quickly confirmed, just ten days later.

Jiang Xi heaved a sigh of relief after getting the specific time of the joint entrance examination.

It was okay to study so hard in a short period of time, but if she had to study so hard every day, she really couldn't handle it.

This was only the first year of high school, and the second and third years would only be more competitive.

In such a competitive atmosphere, they finally faced the joint entrance examination.

In order to let the students feel the pressure of the big exam, Director Wang and his team arranged the examination room according to the college entrance examination. Students from No. 1 Middle

School went to Wu Middle School for the exam, and students from Wu Middle School went to No. 1 Middle School for the exam. The gates of both No. 1 Middle School and Wu Middle School were usually locked, so the students inside could not get out and the students outside could not get in. Although the two schools were opposite each other, it was the first time for Jiang Xi to come to Wu Middle School in two lifetimes.

The campus environment of Wu Middle School was similar to that of No. 1 Middle School, or even older.

No. 1 Middle School at least has a large dormitory building that was newly built in recent years, but even the dormitories at Wu Middle School are very old.

Before entering the examination room, they were inevitably attracted by the score ranking list on the bulletin board of Wu Middle School, especially the top three, which had two-inch photos posted on them, with their names and test score rankings and scores written below.

They were looking at the score rankings of Wu Middle School, and the students of Wu Middle School were also looking at theirs when they came to No. 1 Middle School.

The students of Wu Middle School, like the teachers, have always believed that Wu Middle School is the best high school in Wucheng, so in their mentality, they actually don’t take the students of No. 1 Middle School seriously. At most, they only pay attention to their top few. After all, these top few are also like them, the top few in the high school entrance examination, and were poached by No. 1 Middle School.

As for the top ten, they didn't bother to look at the names at the bottom, just glanced at the names of the first few people, and then left.
