Hu Guangyao gave Yuan Mengge a meaningful look and said to his mother, "There shouldn't be any problem. Aping isn't an ordinary student; she won't let herself suffer like that. What normal middle school student would do something like that..."
As she spoke, the whole family looked at Yuan Mengge and nodded in agreement.
Yuan Mengge: "..." Why does this make it sound like she's a lunatic...?
After dinner that evening, someone from the village ran over to the Hu family and shouted, "Ayao, Ayuan, someone called looking for your sister."
Yuan Mengge and Hu Yuanyuan immediately came out of the room: "Okay, I got it. Thanks, brother."
Then the two went to the village entrance to answer the phone.
The call was from He Qingfeng. After she answered the phone, he said, "We received news from the county that you can retake the exam. You can go there to take the exam in two days."
Hearing his relieved voice, Yuan Mengge replied, "Okay, I understand."
Hu Yuanyuan asked in confusion, "Why do we go in two days?"
Yuan Mengge said, "Because they are going to set new questions this morning, they definitely can't use the original questions again."
Hu Yuanyuan then realized: "Oh, I see."
Yuan Mengge said, "These past two days they came specifically to set the exam questions for the two of us, which is already very fast. Normally it would take ten days to half a month to finish setting the questions."
Hu Yuanyuan asked, "Wouldn't the new questions be even harder?"
Yuan Mengge shook her head and said, "It's hard to say. It's either more difficult or easier. It's about half and half."
Generally speaking, before the official high school entrance examination, the test setters do not only prepare one set of questions; they should also prepare two sets of alternative questions.
Therefore, the exam questions she is taking now should be a reprint of one of the two sets of alternative questions.
Printing takes time, which is why they need to take the exam again in a couple of days.
After returning to the Hu family home after receiving the phone call, the other three members of the Hu family looked at her expectantly.
Hu Yuanyuan happily told them that she could take the make-up exam in two days, and the other three breathed a sigh of relief.
Aunt Hu said, "Take the test again, A-Ping, you should be fine, right? It would be bad if you did worse this time... It's all that person's fault for stealing your points! I'm so angry just thinking about it! I curse his daughter's future children to be born without an anus!"
Upon hearing Hu Ma's last curse, Yuan Mengge laughed.
They waited at the Hu family's house for two days, and on the morning of the third day, they went out again.
Hu Guangyao didn't go this time; only Hu Yuanyuan and He Qingfeng went.
Upon arriving at the Education Bureau, I saw several people standing there with pens and notebooks.
Several reporters arrived.
Because the newspapers have already published her previous report, she is now following up on the progress.
Reporters came after learning that the two girls had to retake their exams today.
Upon seeing them appear, these people immediately swarmed around her and blocked her path, asking:
"Are you Yuan Pingping? How do you know your score was switched?"
"How do you know that Chen Xuelan was the one who switched your grades?"
"Is it because her mother works here?"
"Are you confident about this makeup exam?"
Yuan Mengge remained calm and said nothing.
He Qingfeng felt slightly displeased when he saw these people blocking their way.
Hu Yuanyuan had never seen anything like this before, and she stood close to Yuan Mengge, feeling somewhat helpless.
Although He Qingfeng was dissatisfied, he calmly pushed the reporters aside, saying, "Make way, make way."
After pushing aside the reporters blocking their way, they entered the Education Bureau's lobby, and the other reporters followed them in.
After Yuan Mengge and the others entered, they met the investigation team members they had seen a couple of days ago.
Upon seeing them enter, the investigation team members approached them and said to Yuan Mengge, "You and Chen Xuelan will each take a closed-door exam in an office later. I'll take you to your exam location."
Yuan Mengge didn't say much, just nodded.
The reporters nearby were all watching.
Yuan Mengge was taken to one of the offices, which looked like it had been temporarily cleared out.
When the exam began, the investigation team brought in the exam papers and explained the rules of today's exam to her.
The exam is also divided into two days. The first day consists of four subjects, and the second day consists of two subjects.
Each exam lasts the same amount of time as before. The papers for each subject are graded and scores are published on the blackboard in the lobby after the exam.
The total score will be released on the same day after the exam on the second day.
Because they needed to get their scores before the high school admissions deadline.
After the exam began, only three people were allowed to stay in Yuan Mengge's exam office: the examinee and two invigilators.
With two people watching the proctor from the left and right, cheating was impossible.
Doors and windows will also be closed to prevent outsiders from disturbing the candidates' emotional state.
Yuan Mengge sat in the examination room and first reviewed the exam questions, only to find that they were easier than the previous exam.
She finished writing quickly, checked it again, and then put down her pen and said, "I'm done with the exam."
The two proctors looked at her with some surprise, then walked over, picked up her exam paper and glanced at it. Sure enough, it was already filled with answers.
On the other side, Chen Xuelan was being watched by two proctors, and she felt inexplicably nervous.
He was also distracted and his state was very unstable when answering questions.
She hadn't finished writing by the time the exam ended.
After both students finished, the proctor set up two desks in the hall and began grading the papers in front of everyone.
The results are given out very quickly, in less than ten minutes.
After the scores were announced, one of them immediately wrote them down on the blackboard with chalk.
The first subject is Chinese.
Yuan Pingping – 95.
Chen Xuelan – 48.
All six subjects in the middle school entrance exam were worth 100 points. At that time, there was no 150-point scoring system, so the total score was basically 600.
When everyone saw the comparison of their scores in the first subject, they all started discussing it.
After the scores are released, the second round of exams will begin.
Second subject: Mathematics
Yuan Pingping – 92.
Chen Xuelan – 34.
After the two rounds of exams, it was already noon.
Then I had lunch, rested for an hour, and came back to continue the exam.
There will be two exams in the afternoon, and the remaining two will be held until tomorrow morning.
The first subject might be inaccurate, but the meaning changes significantly after the two subjects are presented.
Anyone with a discerning eye can already tell their true scores at a glance.
"Yuan Pingping scored over 90 points in both of these tests. It seems very likely that she was the first place winner before."
"Chen Xuelan doesn't seem to have performed very well. She usually scores around 50 or 60 in math, but this time she only got a score in the 30s..."
"The real test will be after the two exams this afternoon."
After having lunch, Yuan Mengge and the others didn't go anywhere; they simply returned to the entrance of the Education Bureau and waited.
