Chapter 7272 [Update 2]
Why is she ranked first?
It’s no wonder that the teacher at Wuzhong was confused. When he said this, the other teachers were also confused, “What Jiang Xi?”
The other teachers came over to see what was going on, and saw that the teacher who copied the ranking list had written the first place: Jiang Xi.
The second place was Song Peifeng. They all knew him, and those who had never seen him had heard of his name.
At this time, the scores behind their respective names differed by one point.
Jiang Xi was in front, and Song Peifeng was in the back.
No wonder the teacher at Wuzhong was confused, they were also confused, and had the same doubts as the teacher who copied the names: Who is Jiang Xi?
The senior teachers who came here tried hard to recall Jiang Xi’s name, but they really had no impression of it, as if he appeared out of nowhere.
However, the first-year high school teachers who stayed here all had an impression of this name. They said in surprise, "She is the first place?"
"Do you know her? Is she famous? Why haven't I heard of this student before?" The teachers of Wuzhong were puzzled.
It's no wonder that they were puzzled. After the high school entrance examination every year, the top ten students in the high school entrance examination are the students that the admissions teachers of No. 1 Middle School are crazy about recruiting. The top twenty and top thirty students are also the targets they focus on recruiting. It's just that the scholarships are less than the top ten, but every year there are still many students who are tempted.
The admissions teachers of No. 2 Middle School have also come into contact with these students who ranked high in the high school entrance examination. Generally speaking, they will be familiar with the top tens of students, even if they are not from their school.
But they really have no impression of this Jiang Gui.
The two teachers from No. 1 Middle School looked at each other and said with some surprise: "She ranked tenth in the last exam. We all thought that Xing Hongyu and Zhao Yufeng would be in the top three this time, but we didn't expect it to be her."
These two students naturally made it into the top ten in the county, but one ranked fourth and the other ranked sixth. The second and third were both from Wu Middle School. The second one was the top scorer in the previous high school entrance examination and the hot favorite for the first place in the county this time - Song Peifeng.
The fact that Song Peifeng did not get the first place in the county and was taken away by an unknown student made the teachers of Wu Middle School all look gloomy. On the contrary, the teachers of No. 1 Middle School, who had never expected to get the first place, smiled so hard that their teeth were visible: "Oh my, what a surprise, Old Wang!"
The Dean of the Academic Affairs Office of No. 1 Middle School laughed immediately. Regardless of the grades of the second and third grades, they had won the first grade anyway.
"She is usually only in the top ten in her grade at school. Who knew she would perform so exceptionally well this time?"
"Yes, this student is not an exam-oriented player. Who would have thought she would be so stable in the joint exam!" The two directors of the Academic Affairs Office of No. 1 Middle School, Director Zhang and Director Wang, were both very surprised. They had never expected that the first place in the joint exam would be won by a student from a parallel class in their school.
They hurried to comfort Director Wang of Wu Middle School: "Hey, it's just a joint exam. It doesn't count. It's not the college entrance exam, right?"
"Yes, yes. It's only the first year of high school. There are still two years to go. Come on, let's look at the students below."
As a result, when the statistical results of the top ten first-year high school students came out, among the top ten, because of the sudden appearance of Jiang Gui, who was ranked first out of nowhere, the student from Wu Middle School, who was originally ranked tenth, was directly squeezed to eleventh place. In other words, among the top ten, six were from No. 1 Middle School, four were from Wu Middle School, and none were from No. 2 Middle School.
Wuzhong's teacher's face turned black, but the teachers of No. 1 Middle School laughed and said modestly, "This is really unexpected, unexpected."
Whether it was an accident or not, they couldn't hide the fact that No. 1 Middle School had suppressed Wuzhong. Even if Wuzhong had more students than No. 1 Middle School in the top 100 and top 200, many people didn't look at the top 100 and top 200. They only cared about the top 10.
Other high school teachers were the same. They only cared about how many students their school had in the top 200. As for the proportion of Wuzhong and No. 1 Middle School, they only looked at the top 10.
In their hearts, they were all seeing the joke of Wuzhong, which always thinks highly of itself, but on their faces, they all smiled and said, "Yes, Director Wang, this must be an accident. They are only in the first year of high school. Why are you in such a hurry? We will hold two more joint exams later and see their scores."
Then they can see the complicated expressions of the teachers of Wuzhong twice more, haha.
"That's right, Director Wang, one score doesn't mean anything. It's just one point difference. Next time, the first place will definitely be your Wuzhong." This is simply a stab in the mouth of Wuzhong, but they said it with a smile on their faces.
If you were so happy without laughing, I might still believe that you were really comforting me.
But how could Director Wang let them see a joke? Without changing his expression, he asked another teacher who was transcribing, "Teacher Zhou, are the grades of the second and third graders out? Bring them to me to see the percentage of each school in the top ten and the top 100."
Come on, let's hurt each other!
The news that No. 1 Middle School took six of the top ten first-year students spread throughout No. 1 Middle School overnight. Both teachers and students were excited. The grades of the first-year students completely overshadowed those of the second and third graders. As for the percentage of the top ten in the county, no one cared. The key point was that the first-year students beat Wuzhong, and a girl from No. 1 Middle School took the first place in the county. This was simply unbelievable.
"Who is this? So awesome?" Even the sophomores and juniors heard the news and were curious about who this freshman was.
For so many years, the top scorer in the high school entrance exam was always from Wuzhong, and No. 1 Middle School had never picked one. If you were lucky, you could pick the second or third place. If you met a wealthy family, they would not even let you pick one. So in recent years, whether it was the college entrance exam or the joint entrance exam, Wuzhong always outshined No. 1 Middle School. It was rare for No. 1 Middle School to outshine it. Otherwise, people in Wucheng would not think of Wuzhong as the best high school in Wucheng, and would think of it as Wuzhong, not No. 1 Middle School.
It can be seen how deeply rooted Wuzhong's reputation of outshining No. 1 Middle School is in people's hearts.
But this time, someone from No. 1 Middle School took first place.
This cannot be blamed on Song Peifeng, the original top student in Wuzhong.
Because Song Peifeng performed very steadily, just like every time he performed before, he was so outstanding that his score was ridiculously high.
Even the head teacher of Wuzhong Class 10 (yes, the key classes of Wuzhong are exactly opposite to those of No. 1 Middle School, namely Class 10 and Class 9), was disappointed when he saw the ranking of the grades. He had to come to comfort Song Peifeng: "It's not that you did poorly in the exam. This was purely an accident. It's normal for someone to do well in the joint exam. Even if the essay gets one more or one less point, it may affect the ranking. This doesn't mean that her grades are really better than yours."
This is really not nonsense from the head teacher of Class 10.
The Chinese composition is graded by the same teacher. There are several schools taking joint entrance exams and thousands of compositions. At the beginning, the teacher can still read and grade the compositions carefully. But later on, unless the composition is particularly eye-catching, the teacher is basically numb to it. Sometimes, the teacher will not look at the composition carefully at all, but will look at the topic, form, citations, etc. of the composition. Just like a mathematical formula, the teacher will see that the student has prepared several major elements of an excellent composition, and will roughly glance at the composition and think it is good, and then grade it according to his feeling.
Otherwise, how can thousands of compositions be graded in more than a day? Even God cannot finish reading them.
They are teachers themselves, and have graded joint entrance exam papers, so they are very familiar with this system, so sometimes a few more or less points really depends on luck.
In his opinion, Jiang Xi was just lucky this time, and the teacher who reviewed the papers gave him a few extra points, while Song Peifeng just performed steadily.
Song Peifeng himself was very calm.
He was not a native of Wucheng. He went to the best schools in the provincial capital for both elementary and junior high school. His grades were very good in his original school. Later, he followed his father to Wucheng for work transfer. When he took the high school entrance examination in Wucheng, his grades were far better than those of local students in Wucheng. After entering high school, he was always the top student in the best high school in Wucheng. His classmates and teachers in his original school would often send him review papers and review guides from the important high school in the provincial capital. He would also share them with the teachers in the high school here, and never keep them to himself.
He looked at the scores of his classmates who were one point higher than him, smiled at the teacher who comforted him, and said with a spring breeze: "It's okay, teacher. If there is a classmate with good grades, I will also be happy."
His father is now the top leader of Wucheng. If two students are admitted to the top universities in the country during his father's administration in Wucheng, it will also be a good news and achievement for his father.
He himself is working hard with those two schools as his goal, and he also hopes that this classmate will not let him down.
The ranking of the county's grades is first spread among teachers in various schools in a small range, and then posted in various schools... Mainly posted on the bulletin board of Wuzhong No. 1 Middle School and No. 2 Middle School.
No. 2 Middle School posted the ranking of the top 100 students in the grade, and then the number of students in the school who made it to the top 200 in the county. As for the specific ranking, it was not marked. It only wrote the good news that these ten students made it to the top 200 in the county, and posted their names and photos on the honor roll. They were also rewarded with scholarships ranging from 50 to 100 yuan each.
This is already a lot of money. Even Wuzhong and No. 1 Middle School do not necessarily set up scholarships in exams like the joint entrance examination. Generally speaking, scholarships are only awarded after the end of each academic year.
This honor roll was posted during the day, and it did not cover the ranking list of the last midterm exam. Instead, a separate position was vacated on the other side of the bulletin board, and the county's performance ranking list was posted there.
The teachers at No. 1 Middle School are very interesting. They put the first-year students on the left bulletin board, and the rankings of the second and third-year students on the right bulletin board.
The grades on the first-year students’ bulletin board are posted like this, for example: First place, Jiang Liu, followed by parentheses, with the score and school inside.
Second place, Song Peifeng, parentheses, score and school.
Third place: ...
So all the students in No. 1 Middle School can clearly see how many No. 1 Middle School students and how many Wu Middle School students are in the top ten, especially the first and second, No. 1 Middle School on the top and Wu Middle School on the bottom, the contrast is very obvious, making it clear at a glance.
Regardless of whether they know each other or not, when they see the rankings on the list, even if they did not get such a score, they all straighten their chests and feel proud, as if they got first place and surpassed the students of Wu Middle School.
The name Jiang Wu is completely legendary in No. 1 Middle School.
Many students who only focused on studying and ignored the outside world have noticed this name and asked people who Jiang Wu is. When they learned that this talented person was from a parallel class, they were surprised and gave a thumbs up: Awesome!
Even the students in Class 1 and Class 2 of Grade 1 talked about Jiang Wu's performance in the competition class, saying that she had only been in the competition class for a month, but she beat many of them who had been studying for three months.
"How come I didn't find it surprising that she got the first place?"
"It's still a bit surprising, right? That's Song Peifeng?"
Many of them have never seen Song Peifeng, but they have seen Song Peifeng's high school entrance examination results.
Song Peifeng was a talented student who scored several points higher than the second place in the high school entrance examination. In the subsequent examinations, he never failed once.
If it weren't for the dark horse Jiang Xi, Song Peifeng would definitely be the first this time.
In fact, Song Peifeng's performance in this joint examination still made many people unforgettable.
"This Jiang Xi, the speed of progress is simply abnormal!"
Many people were indeed surprised. The only one who was not surprised was Jiang Xi herself.
Jiang Xi had an impression of the name Song Peifeng, and they even had intersections later.
In her second year of high school, a banner was hung at the gate of Wu Zhongzheng University. It was hung for a whole year. It read: Congratulations to our school student Song Peifeng for being admitted to Tsinghua University with the score of the city's top scorer in the college entrance examination.
Students from No. 1 Middle School and Wu Middle School looked up to this name for a whole year. One
year later, Jiang Qing was admitted to another nationally renowned 985 high school with the first place in the county and the third place in the city. This time, it was her name that was hung on the banner at the gate of No. 1 Middle School for a whole year.
When they met again later, Song Peifeng was already a young local leader who was being trained by the higher authorities. She also became a confidant of the big leader in the eyes of others. Whenever people from Wu Middle School talked about their alma mater, they couldn't avoid talking about Song Peifeng, and when people from No. 1 Middle School talked about their alma mater, they couldn't avoid talking about Jiang Qing.
With this comparison, the two schools seemed to be evenly matched again.
Your school has outstanding alumni, and our school has them too!
Although in reality Song Peifeng was more powerful and his future achievements were smoother, privately everyone could not help but compare the two people based on their family backgrounds. One had a family background, while the other... maybe luck.
At that time, many people chose to forget what Jiang Xi had experienced in high school.
Yes, Jiang Gui was not surprised at her grades. After all, she had accumulated all her strength in high school and finally broke out. She had achieved grades that surprised everyone. Later, when everyone looked through her resume from childhood to adulthood, some said that she was lucky, some said that she had good psychological quality, and was an exam-oriented athlete. She usually did not show off her talents, but when it came to the major exams that determined her life, she always managed to surprise everyone. When encountering all the key turning points in her life, she could always choose the most correct path, and she knew how to make choices and stand on the side.
Mr. Wang, the head teacher of Class 3, Grade 1, walks with a breeze. He is tall and has long legs, and walks like a model on TV, with an indescribable romantic charm. In addition, he always can't help showing off his pride, which makes him look radiant. The head teachers and English colleagues in the office are happy for No. 1 Middle School, but they can't help but be jealous.
This old Wang is just lucky to have a student like Jiang Qi.
I finally resisted the urge to say a few words to him at this time, so that he can restrain his pride.
But when there was nothing to brag about, Teacher Wang wanted to hold a teacup and show off to the whole office building. Now that he has something to show off, he has to hold a teacup and ask everyone he meets: "The joint exam results are out. Have you seen it? Oh, how come the first place in the county was taken by our parallel class!"
Someone saw Teacher Wang and greeted him: "Teacher Wang, are you in a good mood?"
"You know, Jiang Qing from our class got the first place in the county in the joint exam."
"Where are you going, Teacher Wang?"
"Go and take a look at the ranking list on the bulletin board. The one at the top is Jiang Qing from our class, you know, right?"
The teachers who greeted him one by one were angry, angry and amused. Fortunately, this was a big happy event for Quanyi Middle School, so they couldn't help but not beat Teacher Wang.
Jiang Bai, who never paid attention to the grades on the bulletin board, also saw the familiar name standing high above all the names.
His eyes were slightly hot.
Tong Jingang beside him was excited like a monkey jumping up and down, with his arms tightly hugging Jiang Bai's thin shoulders: "Baizi! Baizi, did you see that! Our sister is too competitive! No. 1 in the county, this is the first in the county!"
Although not every high school in Wucheng participated in the joint examination, several important high schools participated. For the rural high schools that are more remote, whether they participate in the joint examination or not will not affect the overall situation. The top students in the county are basically gathered in these high schools.
Therefore, this is truly the first in the county.
Tong Jingang never thought that he, a poor student in No. 1 Middle School, could actually know such an arrogant girl, and this girl is the biological sister of his good friend. To round it off, this girl is his biological sister!
Jiang Bai wanted to laugh, but he couldn't laugh at once, and tears first wet his eyes.
He tried his best to restrain himself, not wanting anyone to see the heat in his eyes, but the tears still couldn't help overflowing from his eyes.
He looked up at the sky, trying to force back the heat, but a slightly cool tear flowed down his Adam's apple and drowned in his warm scarf.
Then he laughed.
"Yeah." He replied proudly, "My sister."
