That night, the two brothers chatted in the house for half the night.
Today is Tuesday, and it is also the day when the unified examination results are released.
Since she had already known in advance that she did not make it into the top ten, Yun Mo no longer had any expectations for the results of the unified examination. She just prepared the money in her schoolbag early in the morning, ready to cash in the bet when the results came out.
Maybe it’s because the long vacation starts tomorrow, everyone in the classroom is particularly excited, and they gather in groups of three or four, chattering about something.
Yun Mo did not participate because she had already made plans for the holiday, which was to accompany Ling Jiang to Urumqi to purchase goods.
Zeng Fang came a little later than usual today, and as soon as she entered the classroom, she ran towards her like a bird.
"Momo! Ahhh, you're so great! How come you're so great?"
Yun Mo was confused by Zeng Fang's enthusiasm. Did she do something big that she didn't even know about? "Tsk, it's just a stroke of luck!" A familiar mocking voice came from behind.
Zeng Fang turned her head and said, "Dan Zhenzhen, stop complaining that the grapes are sour. Haven't you heard that luck is also a reflection of strength? Even if you are lucky, it is Momo's own strength that earned it!"
Shan Zhenzhen pursed her lips in defiance, "It's just 100 yuan, who can't afford to lose?"
"Then why don't you just take it out? What's the point of just talking about it?"
Yun Mo heard something from the two people's quarrel, but she didn't understand it. Dan Zhenzhen clearly said that she was not in the top ten in the city, so it couldn't be that she was in the top ten again overnight, right?
Yun Mo's question was soon answered.
It turned out that when the school was recalculating the candidates' scores yesterday, they found that 5 points were missed in Yun Mo's English test paper.
With just a difference of 5 points, Yun Mo jumped from 12th place in the city to 8th place. This news spread in the class last night.
The reason why Yun Mo herself was unaware of the situation was mainly because she was poor and her family didn't have a telephone. Yao Xianhe was afraid of disturbing her rest, so he didn't go to her house to inform her.
Upon learning that she was ranked 8th in the market, Yun Mo was stunned at first, but then she felt as if a stone had been hanging in her heart and she felt at ease.
Except for a few students who were depressed because they lost the bet, most people in the class looked at Yun Mo with admiration and worship, as if she was a hero.
No, in everyone's eyes, Yun Mo is now a hero! Nanming was established less than three years ago. Compared with the old schools such as No. 3 Middle School and No. 6 Middle School, Nanming is just a little brother, and it has always been at the bottom of the rankings.
Even the teachers always say this to motivate students: We don’t want to be on par with No. 3 Middle School and No. 6 Middle School, but we shouldn’t fall too far behind either.
The teachers and students of Nanming were so humble and self-aware.
But now, Yun Mo's sudden rise has obviously given all Nanming teachers and students hope and light.
Not only can they stand on equal footing with No. 3 and No. 6 Middle Schools, they can even surpass them!
"Yun Mo, come out for a moment."
When morning self-study was about to begin, Yao Xianhe appeared at the classroom door and called her with a friendly face.
The classmates in the class all had the same idea: even an old-fashioned person can be gentle sometimes.
Outside the classroom, Yao Xianhe looked at her with a smile, "Yun Mo, do you know the results of the unified examination?"
Yun Mo nodded, "I heard from everyone."
"You know what? I was so happy that I didn't sleep the whole night last night."
Are you so happy?
Yao Xianhe continued to sigh, "I am afraid that I will wake up after sleeping and find that it was just a dream and my joy was in vain."
You are so old, are you still so nervous? "I didn't dare to go to your house to inform you, for fear that you would be unable to sleep like me and affect today's class."
"Yun Mo, you got such good results in this unified exam. What do you think? This is a private conversation between the two of us. You can speak freely."
Yun Mo organized her words carefully. "First of all, I want to thank the teachers in school for their teaching and cultivation. Half of the credit for my good results goes to them. Secondly, I will continue to work hard and keep moving forward, striving to get better and better in the future."
"Well said!"
Yao Xianhe's loud voice frightened Yun Mo so much that she trembled. If it was someone with a weak heart, she would probably have had a heart attack.
"Yun Mo, you are such a pleasant surprise. I never dreamed that you could be so successful. The school leaders are going to ask you to give a speech. During the holidays, you should prepare well and write a speech of about 2,000 words. The content should mainly be your usual learning experience and tips, as well as encouragement to everyone. At the end, add the words you just said. How about it? Any questions?"
"no problem."
"Okay, by the way, last time you reported the criminals, the school was going to commend you for your meritorious service. In addition, you ranked 8th in the city in this exam. The school leaders discussed it and decided to move the commendation meeting to next week, when the award and commendation will be held together."
"OK."
Yun Mo actually thought that just giving the prize to her would be enough, but she also knew that this was unrealistic.
When Yun Mo returned to the classroom, Zeng Fang immediately pulled her aside and asked in a low voice, "Mo Mo, what did Teacher Yao say to you?"
Although Zeng Fang's voice was not loud, it still stood out in the quiet study class, and the students around her pricked up their ears.
Yun Moyi said simply, "Teacher Yao asked me to give a speech at the flag-raising ceremony next week."
"I knew it. Did Teacher Yao tell me what kind of rewards the school will give you this time?"
Yun Mo was a little confused. "Didn't the top ten get cash and notebooks?"
"Oh, that's a reward from the Education Bureau. The school also has its own reward system. I heard that in last year's unified examination, No. 3 Middle School awarded a bicycle to the first place in the city.
Although you didn't get first place, eighth place is pretty good too. If you can't even get a car as a reward, a Walkman should be no problem, right?"
"I'd rather get a 50 bucks reward than a Walkman."
“…”
After the morning self-study class ended, someone shouted that the grade list had been posted, and everyone in the class immediately rushed to the school notice board.
Yun Mo was also pulled by Zeng Fang to run to the bulletin board to look at the ranking list.
When Yun Mo arrived, the notice board was already crowded with people, but Yun Mo still saw her name at a glance.
Her name was hung high up in the first row of the list, with the large regular script characters written with a brush standing out.
"Ahhh! Momo, you are first in the school and eighth in the city. You are really amazing."
Originally, everyone was busy looking at the rankings and didn't notice who was behind and around them, but Zeng Fang's shout immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"So she is Yun Mo, so amazing."
"She is so beautiful and has such good grades. I am so envious of her."
"But I heard that she used to be a student at No. 6 Middle School, but was expelled because of cheating. Could it be that she got her grades this time by cheating as well?"
Amid the countless exclamations of praise, there were one or two discordant voices.
