Chapter 286 Unofficial decision?
This third round of testing is to give everyone who comes to take the test an opportunity to showcase themselves.
During their self-introductions, they demonstrate their sincerity in coming to Li San Niang's midwifery school, hoping to win the competition and gain the opportunity to enter Li San Niang's midwifery school.
To Li San Niang, this is somewhat like students in modern society who want to apply to top private schools and go through interviews.
Because of what Dr. Liang had mentioned before, fearing that someone might cause trouble after the final results were released due to dissatisfaction, Li San Niang discussed it with her mother and changed the scoring method for the third round.
Just like the second round, Li's mother, Li's eldest sister-in-law, Li's second sister-in-law, Li's third sister-in-law, and the young boy from Shaoyang would score each person. The scores would be calculated by removing the highest and lowest scores and averaging the remaining scores.
Now, Li San Niang suggested, "Mother, I had already anticipated what Master said."
Since those ladies who refused to participate yesterday without a number have returned, let's have five people from this group of twenty or so join us in scoring the ladies who are participating.
This will also shut up, to some extent, those who want to cause trouble.
Li San Niang's method of involving outsiders was unanimously agreed upon by everyone from Li's mother to Li's second brother.
So now, in this courtyard, there are ten tables in a row along the south side, and ten chairs and stools are placed behind them.
In the very center of the courtyard stood a platform about half a foot high, directly opposite the center of the ten tables.
There were nineteen people without license plates today, just as Sister Li had counted.
Furthermore, using the lottery method suggested by Li San Niang, five evaluators were selected.
"Oh my, I never imagined that I, an old woman, would one day be a teacher, giving scores to people."
"Haha, Granny Zou, aren't you going to thank me? If I hadn't dragged you to this alliance meeting, you wouldn't be enjoying this glory today."
Granny Zou, who was chosen by drawing lots, and the other four people were summoned by Li San Niang, who then held an emergency meeting with them.
"Just give me the scores I feel are right. As long as you think someone has a thirst for knowledge and is the most suitable to enter my midwifery school to learn the skills, give them the highest possible score."
After Li San Niang finished speaking, Li's mother stepped forward and gave her a few more instructions before taking their seats in the chairs and stools that had been arranged in the courtyard.
Brother Li Er announced: "The third round of the midwife examination is officially beginning. Next, please invite Yao Qingqing, number one, to the stage, and Yu Xuelian, number two, to prepare."
Yao Qingqing was the first to arrive today, so she was also the first to go on stage.
Yao Qingqing gracefully stepped onto the stage. She first bowed to the person sitting opposite her who was scoring her, and then bowed to the women gathered around the courtyard. Only then did Yao Qingqing speak: "I am Yao Qingqing from Yong'anfang. Greetings, everyone."
I am here today to take this midwife exam because, although I have been apprenticed to my mother and have five years of experience as a midwife, having delivered over a thousand babies, I still feel inadequate and sincerely want to improve my skills..."
Each person only had about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea (5 minutes). Yao Qingqing was the first one, and the other women were very interested in her performance. They all wanted to see how her so-called self-introduction would go.
Yao Qingqing is also amazing. In such an environment, with dozens of eyes staring at her, and being the first to speak, she actually managed to stay calm!
Not only did he act with grace and poise, but he also spoke at a moderate pace.
Although he deliberately raised his voice, it wasn't loud. He spoke sincerely and confidently, which made Li San Niang and the others sitting below very happy.
Li San Niang felt that Yao Qingqing had made a good start to the third round of the competition.
Li's mother felt that Yao Qingqing herself was exactly what Li San Niang wanted: a young woman with a thirst for knowledge and a willingness to change, who was suitable to study and improve at the midwifery school.
Granny Zou, the old woman who was temporarily pulled in to give scores, felt even more that her trip today was worthwhile and that getting up early was worthwhile after seeing Yao Qingqing's performance.
Such a rare occurrence is entirely dependent on luck.
A "dong" sound rang out, signaling that it was time, and Xiao Silang struck his little gong.
Yao Qingqing stopped speaking in time. Although she hadn't finished, she felt that she had said everything she could, should, and should say in such a short time. In the end, it all depended on the scoring.
Therefore, Yao Qingqing didn't hesitate at all. After bowing and paying her respects, she went straight down from the platform.
With Yao Qingqing as a template, the others also knew exactly what to do.
"Please welcome number two, Yu Xuelian, to the stage. Number three, Jin Zhenbao, please prepare."
Forty-eight people, not one missing, not one absent, took turns on stage to introduce themselves within the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, and waited for their scores.
Because there were so many people, the boss gave everyone time to have lunch at noon, but it still took another half an hour in the afternoon to get everyone on stage to perform.
After Xiao Silang banged the small gong a few more times, attracting everyone's attention, Li Erxiong hurriedly announced loudly, "Everyone, the scores need time to be calculated. Please wait for a quarter of an hour, and the results will be announced in a quarter of an hour."
Li San Niang took the papers with scores written on them and those of the others, and hurried to the house to calculate the scores by matching the names. She then added the results from the previous two rounds to determine the rankings.
After rushing and working hard, the rankings of all forty-eight people were finally obtained at 3:45 PM, and the top ten were also selected.
What a coincidence! Midwife Sun is in tenth place!
Furthermore, Sun the midwife is the only one selected at the age of forty-eight!
The first place went to Yao Qingqing, which was exactly what Li San Niang expected.
Holding the copied rankings, Sister-in-law Li stood on the high platform and announced the top ten list to the seventy or eighty people who had gathered around and the scene had quieted down.
The first batch of midwife training students selected by the Women's Assistance Association included: Yao Qingqing, Cheng Wanwan, Sun Chunlan, Li Daya... Wang Yulian, Wang Qiuniang (Sun the Midwife).
Those who were not accepted but are interested can refer to the second round of midwife examinations.
Thank you all for coming today. We hope you will speak up for our Women's Assistance Association in the future.
After Sister-in-law Li finished speaking, she bowed. Just as she was about to step down from the platform, a sharp scream rang out from the crowd.
"I refuse to accept this!"
I'm about the same age as that old woman, so why did she choose her and not me?
Is it because of her little granddaughter?
What? People without granddaughters can't be selected?
Li's mother's face darkened the moment the man uttered his first words.
Although I had expected that there would be people who were dissatisfied with the outcome, I did not expect that this person would bring the matter to Chunlan.
Li San Niang was not surprised at all. After all, when she went to the Medical Alliance to take the exam, one person couldn't stand the fact that he didn't pass while everyone else did, and there was some commotion.
At this point, it's really not surprising at all that someone would behave this way.
"Well, so this so-called 'Women's Support Association' was all pre-arranged. And you still talk about fairness and impartiality?"
I think that's all bullshit!
