Chapter 184
Two days before school started, Ye Han and Ye Jiayin came back with good news and bad news.
The good news is that after Ye Jiayin knew that Su Miao was going to skip a grade in high school, she also considered skipping a grade. However, according to school regulations, they could not skip a grade every half a semester like Su Miao did in No. 1 Middle School.
He could only take the skipping grade exam after finishing his first year of high school, skipping his second year to go up to his third year. This meant that Ye Jiayin would take the college entrance exam in the same year as Su Miao.
The bad news is that Ye Jiayin has decided to return to Beijing to study in her senior year of high school, and they only have one year left to be classmates.
"Sister Jiayin, why did you suddenly think of skipping a grade?" Su Miao helped Ye Jiayin pack the large and small bags brought back from the capital.
"Actually, I thought about it before, but I was too lazy to take the exam so I put it aside. But after seeing you skip a grade, I think your idea is quite right. Don't waste time on things that are easy for you. It's better to go to university, learn the knowledge you want to learn, and do the things you want to do."
"It's a pity that we can't take the college entrance examination together."
"It doesn't matter. No matter where we take the college entrance exam, we should cheer each other on! Aren't you going to University A? I also want to go to University A. Then we can become alumni."
"Yes, Sister Jiayin, then let's work together to skip a grade."
Compared with the strict class division in junior high school, the high school is much more casual and is based on the results of the high school entrance examination. There are a total of seven classes, one of which is the initial key class.
There are 45 initial places in the key class, and the top 45 students in the high school entrance examination will be selected. The rankings of the remaining classes will be broken down, and regardless of their high school entrance examination scores, they will all be ordinary classes.
However, after the second year of high school, Class 1 became a key class for science, and Class 2 became a key class for liberal arts. Students were re-divided into classes based on their liberal arts subject selection and grade ranking.
This class division will last for three years for most students. The key class will add 10 new places each year, and students in ordinary classes can compete for the exam. By the time of senior year, there will be 65 students in the key class.
The day before school started, they had to go to school to pay fees and register. Ye Han had to go on a business trip again, so he asked Su Yuanzheng to take the two children with him.
The registration time for each grade in No. 1 High School is separate. Today, only the freshmen in the first grade are registering, so it is not crowded.
There is a large bulletin board after entering the school gate with the class list on it. New students and their parents need to find their names, take the admission notice and household registration book to the corresponding classroom, and find the class teacher to register.
Because they had communicated in advance, Su Miao and Ye Jiayin's student numbers were put together and they were assigned to Class 2.
There are many students from No. 1 Middle School among the new students. They must be familiar with Su Miao, the top scorer in the high school entrance examination, and naturally think that she is in the key class.
But when Su Miao pointed at his name with his finger, indicating to his father that he was in Class 2, they were all shocked.
The top scorer in the high school entrance exam can't even get into the key class of a high school? This world is crazy.
Was this year's initial key class replaced by Class 2, or were dozens of experts transferred in from other provinces?
Su Miao didn't care about what everyone thought and pulled her father and Ye Jiayin to find the classroom. As soon as they walked a little further, the crowd burst into heated discussion.
The freshmen’s classroom is indeed on the top floor. Fortunately, the highest floor here is only the third floor, so it’s not tiring to climb.
The head teacher was a male teacher, which was beyond Su Miao's surprise, because female head teachers still accounted for the vast majority of the school, and this was the first time she had met a male head teacher in her previous life and this life.
The head teacher was helping a student register. There was a sign on his desk that read Teacher Wu Jianjun.
After the students and parents in front had finished their procedures, Su Miao and Ye Jiayin walked over with the documents.
Su Miao said, "Excuse me, is this Teacher Wu? I'm Su Miao, a freshman, and this is Ye Jiayin."
Su Miao? When Wu Jianjun heard this name, he looked up at the girl in front of him in surprise.
Oh my god! He has taught three classes of students and never thought that one day he would be assigned the top scorer in the high school entrance examination!
Moreover, they were assigned to the key class while he was teaching an ordinary class. From the principal's tone, it seemed that the two girls really wanted to be in the same class, but because they both had strong learning autonomy and required a high degree of freedom in their learning pace, they did not want to be in the key class, so he took advantage of the opportunity.
Requesting some freedom? That suits him perfectly! As long as things follow the rules, he'll give you whatever freedom you want. He gets criticized every year for being too lax in class management anyway, so he's already got a thick skin.
"Hello, Su Miao and Ye Jiayin. I'm your homeroom teacher, Wu Jianjun. I'm very happy to meet you."
Teacher Wu suppressed his excitement and asked them to fill out the form, trying to make his tone sound gentle. In fact, his toes in his shoes were already tapping the rhythm unconsciously. He was really glad that he didn't wear sandals today.
After filling out the forms, Teacher Wu explained a few things about school to the students and parents: "We will have two weeks of military training after school starts, and we will have weekends off during the training. However, you must stay overnight during the training, so you must prepare the necessary supplies for accommodation.
Tomorrow is a buffer period, so there will be no military training. You're asked to bring your luggage and pack your dorm rooms this morning to get acclimated. This means you won't be able to go home after school starting tomorrow. Is your home close to here? If so, you can apply to go to school as a day student after military training, so you can go to school as usual every day.
Su Yuanzheng nodded and said, "Teacher Wu, our home is only a ten-minute walk away, so we need to enroll him in the school as a day student."
Teacher Wu marked a 2 on each of the two payment slips and handed them to them, saying, "Okay, here are your payment slips. You can go to the Finance Office at the end of the left side of the first floor to pay your tuition and miscellaneous fees. I've already marked it. I'll only charge for half a month's accommodation."
After thanking Teacher Wu, the three of them left the classroom.
Ye Jiayin said, "It turns out that Class 2 has a male teacher as the head teacher, and he seems quite warm."
Su Miao said, "In elementary school, there were male teachers in other grades who served as homeroom teachers, but they were rare, so I don't know what their teaching style was like."
The tuition fee is not expensive and is charged by semester. This semester it is 10 yuan, and the miscellaneous fee is 8 yuan. However, new books need to be distributed in the first half of the semester, so there is an additional book fee of 5 yuan, which adds up to a total of 23 yuan.
This is the money for one semester, which is not very expensive, but for a family in financial difficulty, every penny counts.
Neither of the two girls had lived in a school dormitory before, so they didn't have any mats or mosquito nets for sleeping.
After paying the fees and leaving the school, Su Yuan was about to take them to the department store to buy some, but Su Miao pointed to a small stall outside the school gate and said, "Dad, there's a mosquito net mat for sale here. Let's buy some here. They're specially sold to boarding students, so the size will definitely be right."
On the day before and on the first day of each semester, many vendors bring accommodation supplies to sell, including mosquito nets and mats, washbasins and cups, and even mosquito-repellent and refreshing wind oil. It is very convenient to buy them all in one place.
