Lin Wei didn't pay much attention to the parachuting deputy director of the Military Family Resettlement Office because the final exams were approaching.
The final examination is prepared by the County Education Bureau and is a joint examination for all primary schools in the county. Of course, because Ya County is remote and educational resources are limited, there are only seven or eight primary schools in the county. Among them, the Military District Primary School can be said to have the strongest teaching staff and ranks first every year. Therefore, the closer it gets to the final exams, the more relaxed the teachers in the school become.
But Lin Wei did not relax herself. After all, this was the first answer sheet she submitted after becoming a full-time employee, and she hoped to prove herself with it. Therefore, before the final exam, Lin Wei spent a week to help students review the content covered that semester in order to strengthen their memory.
Seeing that Lin Wei attached so much importance to the final exam, Teacher Li and Teacher Chen, who returned to work after New Year's Day, became nervous. Teacher Li felt that, after all, they were teaching the same class, and if the student did well in Chinese, he couldn't fall behind too much in math. Teacher Chen’s idea is that Class 3 was beaten badly in one of the exams, and in the final exam... Even if they can’t catch up, the gap can’t be widened.
Review, review quickly!
The second grade main subject teacher started to review the papers. When the teachers of other grades saw this, they couldn't sit still and started to review the papers for the children in their own classes.
Therefore, the children who used to perform almost the same as usual at the end of the semester were forced to embark on intensive review. Fortunately, no matter how difficult the review is, it only takes a week at most, and the final exam comes as scheduled in late January.
Like the midterm exam, the final exam also only has two subjects, Chinese in the morning and mathematics in the afternoon. After the exams, the children will have a holiday, and the teachers will have the arduous period of grading papers.
The difference is that the final examination papers are not graded in school, but are graded at the county education bureau, together with teachers from several other schools. The test papers are sealed and handed to them by the staff of the Education Bureau. The teachers who mark the papers do not know whether the test papers are from students of this school or not. This ensures fairness to the greatest extent possible.
The marking cycle is two days, and the subsequent calculation of scores and ranking of schools will be done by the Education Bureau staff themselves.
But it was not time for Lin Wei and her classmates to go on vacation yet. Each class teacher had to prepare report cards and write comments, while those who were not class teachers were responsible for cleaning the office and doing the final finishing work.
By the time the class teachers had finished writing their comments and their offices had been cleaned, the Education Bureau had compiled the scores and sent them to each school, and the military district primary school also posted the results on a bulletin board.
The bulletin board was at the door of the first grade classroom. When the list was posted, almost all the teachers in the school came out to check the results. It’s not that they are so curious about the list, but the students are on vacation and they have nothing to do in school, so of course they want to join in the fun.
The posted list is divided into two parts: one is the academic ranking of students in each grade within the school, as well as the average score of each class; the other is the top three students in each grade in the county, as well as the average score of each grade in each school.
Lin Wei was called by Huang Aiyun. When she arrived at the bulletin board, because there were too many people surrounding the notice of the county rankings, she did not join in the fun and went to look at the second-grade rankings in the school first.
After looking at it for a while, Huang Aiyun came over and said, "Zhao Mei got first place again? Gao Xiulian gave birth to a good daughter! Wow, the top three are all your students! The top ten... eight are all from your class?"
Lin Wei didn't flatter herself, she smiled and said: "I lead two classes, so I have the advantage of numbers."
Huang Aiyun thought, the top three were all her students, this could not be simply explained by the advantage in numbers. What's more, this time the average score of Class 1 is higher than that of Class 3, which is a few points higher than that of the midterm exam.
However, there were too many teachers in front of the bulletin board, and blindly praising Lin Wei would only bring hatred to her. Huang Aiyun did not say anything and looked up to see the first grade results.
She teaches math to three first grade classes, and because there is little competition, she works seriously but cannot say she works very hard. In previous years, she was always relaxed at the end of the semester and did not go out of her way to go over the key points of the semester for the children. It was not until this time when the second grade teacher asked about the key points that she got nervous.
Therefore, this time, Huang Aiyun cared a lot about the results. When he looked up at the list, he couldn't help but hold his breath.
The final exam paper was more difficult than the midterm exam. Huang Aiyu knew this when she was invigilating. Later, when she was grading the exam papers at the Education Bureau, she found that many students failed.
But the three classes led by Huang Aiyun all performed well in the exam. Two students scored 100 points, and quite a few scored above 90 points. The final average score was far above the passing line and was two points higher than the midterm exam.
After looking at the school rankings, Huang Aiyun dragged Lin Wei to look at the county rankings. What she saw was amazing: two of the top three classes in the county were from her class.
Lin Wei was even more impressive. The top three places were taken by the class she taught, while the top three places were either one or two in other grades, with no one ranking zero.
Not to mention the average score, in the past, even if the top three students had zero, the average score of the military primary school would be higher than other schools. This time, they all did well, so naturally the average score was much higher.
After looking at the list, all the teachers were beaming with joy.
Teacher Sun also had a smile on her face, but that was when she was facing others. Her face darkened when her back was turned. The average score of Class 3 was still much lower than that of Class 1 and 2.
But after Luo Shuzhi failed to get rid of Lin Wei and got herself into trouble, she could only endure it silently no matter how unhappy she was.
Teacher Chen was in a very good mood. She was in a hurry to return to work because she was worried that she would not be able to find her position if she came back too late. Now that she was sure that her job was stable, she felt more open-minded. And although the average score of Class Three was lower than that of Class One and Two, it was higher than that of the midterm exam. In addition, this exam was more difficult, which also indirectly shows that she did a good job!
Principal Feng was also in a good mood. After the announcement was posted, she organized a brief meeting for all faculty and staff.
The meeting was not long and mainly discussed two things. One was to thank the full-time faculty and staff for their hard work over the past semester and to praise all teachers for their final grades. The other was to notify them of the winter vacation and the time to receive the annual gifts.
Because elementary schools have an early holiday and there are still ten days before the Chinese New Year, the New Year gifts cannot be distributed so early and have to wait until after the 20th day of the lunar calendar to receive them. In addition, considering that some military wives will return to their hometowns to visit relatives during the Spring Festival, they can register in advance and then receive the New Year gifts at a discount.
So after the meeting, everyone started discussing whether to get things or cash, and Huang Aiyun also asked about Lin Wei.
Although the Chinese New Year is still ten days away, the itinerary for returning home has basically been confirmed long ago. Lin Wei has also told other people in the office about her plan, so she asked in confusion: "Isn't it only those who return home who can choose to take things or get a discount?"
"That being said, no one will bother you if you register in advance and pay in cash," Huang Aiyun explained.
Lin Wei said "oh" and asked, "What can we usually get for the New Year?"
She joined the army in June and entered the military primary school after the National Day. She did not catch up with the distribution of Mid-Autumn Festival gifts, so she has no idea about the gifts distributed during the New Year.
"What is distributed each year is different. The year before last, we distributed five kilograms of rice, two kilograms of pork, and some canned roasted nuts. Last year, we distributed two kilograms of flour, five kilograms of coarse grains, and a barrel of oil. The rest was still canned roasted nuts."
Canned food is a rare thing in the north, but it is not so popular on Yazhou Island. People can’t even finish eating all the fresh fruits, so who would want to eat canned food? But there are many canning factories on the island and the selling prices are not expensive, so each unit will always include a few as extras when distributing New Year gifts.
Huang Aiyun changed the subject and said, "Our school did well in the exams this year, so we might get more gifts for the festival. I just don't know if it's grain or oil or meat. If it's grain or oil, we can take it home and eat it after the New Year. But if it's fresh meat, it's hard to deal with."
Although fresh meat can be made into bacon, it still takes time to make bacon. It takes one or two days to marinate it, and then it has to be dried in the sun.
These military wives who are going back to their hometowns have to leave around the 20th of July at the earliest, or around the New Year's Eve at the latest. How can they have so much time to pickle bacon?
In the office, Teacher Wu asked, "Why don't you go ask Principal Feng what he's giving out for the New Year, and then decide whether to cash it in?"
Huang Aiyun hesitated a little: "Will this be bad?"
Teacher Wu said: "What's wrong with this? The purpose of registering in advance is to facilitate everyone. If you ask clearly, it will be easier for you to make a choice if you want to go back to your hometown, right?"
Huang Aiyun was still a little conflicted, but she didn't hesitate for long. It wasn't because she had made up her mind, but because other teachers who were going back to their hometowns for the New Year took the initiative to ask her.
After Zhao Yanhua found out, she returned to the office and said, "It's confirmed. This year we will distribute grain and oil for the New Year, but no meat. However, Principal Feng didn't say exactly how much rice will be distributed."
Huang Aiyun said: "It doesn't matter whether it's rice or flour. Since there's no meat, I still want something."
Other teachers in the office also chose to ask for things. Although they could be discounted for cash, the most lacking thing in buying things these days is never money, but tickets. Only a fool would not want food and oil without tickets.
Lin Wei naturally chose to ask for food. Although her food supply increased by several kilograms after she got a job, Zong Shao and the two children had large appetites, so the food supply was just enough, with not much left over.
It's not that she didn't have any extra food coupons. No matter how little she had, she could still save up a few kilograms of food in half a year. Plus the food coupons that Zong Shao handed over after she joined the army, the current food coupons in Lin Wei's hand could buy more than 20 kilograms of food.
But her parents are coming to stay for half a month during the Chinese New Year, and even if they don’t have much else to do, they still need about 20 kilograms of food. In this case, it is always good for the unit to get more food.
Not only Lin Wei, other teachers also chose to ask for things, and no one went to register. Therefore, after the meeting, Principal Feng waved his hand and gave holidays to teachers who were not class teachers.
Lin Wei was just a substitute teacher before, so after Teacher Chen was hospitalized, Principal Feng did not let her take over Teacher Chen's job as the class teacher, but asked Teacher Li to take charge of it as well.
Originally, Teacher Chen should have taken charge of Class 2 after returning to work, but she is now only in charge of Class 3, and it is more troublesome to be a class teacher for multiple classes. Teacher Li already taught three classes, so it would not be appropriate for her to continue teaching. Lin Wei had already been promoted to a full-time teacher, so the job of class teacher fell on Lin Wei.
Therefore, after the teachers who did not have homeroom duties went on vacation, Lin Wei and other homeroom teachers worked for another day, and after handing out the report cards, they officially started their vacation.
After the holiday, the first thing Lin Wei did was to cancel the alarm clock because she wanted to sleep in the next day.
Seeing Lin Wei's confident look, Zong Shao couldn't help but laugh and asked, "You've been getting up early for a few months and have already developed a habit. Are you sure you can sleep in tomorrow if you turn off the alarm?"
The body has inertia. Once you get used to waking up at a certain time, you will wake up at the right time even without an alarm clock.
Lin Wei is of course aware of this, but she thinks sleeping in is the beginning of the holiday, saying: "Even if I wake up, I will stay up until the sun shines on my butt before getting up."
Zong Shao hesitated for a moment and said, "You don't have to make it so difficult for yourself."
Lin Wei said seriously: "This is a sense of ritual, you don't understand."
Zong Shao really didn’t understand, but that wasn’t what he meant. He explained, “I mean, I have a way to make you sleep till dawn.”
Lin Wei finished fiddling with the alarm clock, put it back on the bedside table, turned her head and asked, "What's the solution?"
"stay up."
Zong Shao said as he pulled Lin Wei into his arms, lowered his head and kissed her lips, while his free hand also slid under the hem of her clothes.
Through his actions, it is self-evident how to stay up late.
As the kiss deepened, Lin Wei had to reach out and hug him to keep her balance: "..." The vacation she wanted was to relax and rest, not to work overtime late at night!
However, her opposition was useless. Until the day before Lin Wei's parents arrived on the island, she slept until she woke up naturally every day as she wished.
