Then Lin Xue told Wang Yaqin about her desire to take the primary school graduation exam.
"Third Aunt, I think your idea is excellent, and knowing your academic level, I believe getting a primary school diploma will be no problem at all!"
"Okay, I'll give you two more test papers later. If you can get over 80 points on both, then you'll basically have a sure thing about getting your elementary school diploma!"
While stuffing a cornbread into her mouth, Wang Yaqin expressed her approval of Lin Xue's decision.
"Alright, then I'll have to trouble Yaqin!"
Lin Xue did not refuse. After all, how could a college graduate not even be able to pass the elementary school graduation exam?
If it weren't for the procedures involved, she would have liked to take the high school graduation exam right now.
However, if you consider the time frame, there are still three or four years until the college entrance examination is reinstated.
She takes one graduation exam per year, and finishes all the exams in three years.
I wonder if the time when the college entrance examination was reinstated in this world differs from that in their world.
Even if there is a difference, it probably won't be too significant.
After Lin Xue and the others finished eating, they arranged for the two children to practice writing numbers by hand.
Lin Xue sat down next to Wang Yaqin and watched her prepare the exam papers.
"Knock knock knock!"
"Third brother's wife, open the door quickly, it's me!"
Just as Wang Yaqin was setting up the exam papers, Old Mrs. Wang knocked on Lin Xue's door.
"They're here! They're here!"
Lin Xue jumped off the kang (a heated brick bed), put on her shoes, and ran to open the door.
"Second Uncle, Second Aunt, Mother, you've come!"
The first thing you see when you open the door isn't Old Mrs. Wang, but the brigade leader and his wife.
"Xue Ni, it's been a long time since I've seen you. I've brought your second aunt to visit you!"
The captain was still somewhat dazed when he saw Lin Xue now.
After a period of careful recuperation, Lin Xue's face has gained some weight, and her complexion is rosy.
It's a far cry from how thin and bony it used to be.
Although both are thin, their energy and spirit are completely different.
"Third brother's wife, the brigade leader has come to see how well you've learned!"
Unlike the brigade leader, Old Mrs. Wang was not tactful; she directly stated the purpose of the couple's visit.
The main reason the second aunt came was that there were no men in Lin Xue's family, and her presence could help avoid suspicion!
"Haha, sister-in-law, you're still as straightforward as ever!"
Seeing that Old Mrs. Wang had already revealed their intentions, Second Aunt stopped trying to hide it.
"Well, you've come at the right time! Yaqin heard I wanted to take the elementary school graduation exam, and she's giving me practice questions right now!"
Lin Xue stepped forward to greet the three of them and walked into the house.
Just then, Wang Yaqin's math exam papers were almost finished.
The brigade leader picked up the newly prepared test paper directly from the table. The test paper was full of math problems, and in his opinion, it was considered quite difficult for elementary school students.
"Yaqin, isn't this exam a bit too difficult for you?"
After reviewing the test paper, the captain glanced at Lin Xue with some concern.
"Second Grandfather, you may underestimate my aunt. This little question is no challenge for her at all!"
Wang Yaqin proudly raised her chin; this was a student she had taught.
"Oh, third son's wife, why don't you try it first!"
"Yaqin, continue preparing the Chinese language test!"
The captain handed the test paper back to Lin Xue, and then sat down with his wife to wait patiently.
Grandma Wang invited her second sister-in-law to sit on the kang (a heated brick bed), but the brigade leader, feeling embarrassed, only sat on the edge of the kang.
The two children were on one side, carefully writing strokes and some simple numbers.
The brigade leader glanced around and thought, "The learning atmosphere at Guoqing's house is really strong."
Thinking about his sons who only know how to play and run around all day, the brigade leader decided that he would have to give them a good talking-to when he got home.
Look at Guoqing's two children, they're so young, yet they're sitting upright on the kang table, writing characters stroke by stroke.
His sons are much older than these two kids.
They were unwilling to write even a single extra word beyond the homework assigned by the teacher.
People are afraid of comparison!
Doesn't this comparison clearly show the difference?
By the time Wang Yaqin finished preparing the Chinese language test, Lin Xue had already finished her math test.
She handed the math test paper to the head of the brigade so he could look at it.
The captain took the red pen from Wang Yaqin and lay down on the edge of the wall to carefully correct the errors.
"Hiss~"
"Sister-in-law, your third daughter-in-law is amazing! She's learned so much on her own, that's truly remarkable!"
The captain held the freshly printed math test paper with a perfect score of 100, feeling both shocked and a little envious.
Unexpectedly, their village produced a self-taught genius, and this genius was his younger brother's daughter-in-law.
If he could get an elementary school diploma through self-study, that would be enough for him to brag about for years.
"Second Grandpa, I've finished making the Chinese test paper. This time, I've made it really difficult. As long as my Third Aunt can get 80 points, then getting her elementary school graduation certificate will be a piece of cake!"
Wang Yaqin handed the completed Chinese language test paper to the brigade leader so that he could take a look.
She didn't hold back at all when setting this test, and even added some content that they only learned in junior high school.
These two papers were not only not easy, but they were also beyond the scope of the curriculum.
Even so, her third aunt was able to get a perfect score on the math test.
At this moment, Wang Yaqin looked at Lin Xue with a mixture of envy and pride.
