Chapter 82 Certificate of Merit
"First place, Xu Lili, 98 points in Chinese, 100 points in math, and 100 points in English."
"Second place..."
…
In the fourth grade, the head teacher read out the names from first to fifth. Then he stopped, looked around the classroom, and continued, "Sixth place, Ji Ziang, 97 points in Chinese, 100 points in math, and 98 points in English."
When Ji Ziang heard his results, he didn't look very surprised.
He seemed to have known it for a long time, and there was a hint of pride in his expression.
After reading out Ji Ziang's results, the head teacher did not rush to read out the next one.
He cleared his throat and said, "This semester, the student who has made the most progress in our class is Ji Ziang. He went from being the last in the last semester to being the sixth this semester. This is all due to Ji Ziang's hard work. I hope everyone will follow Ji Ziang's example, take him as a goal, and study hard to catch up with him."
It was the first time for Ji Ziang to be praised like this by the teacher, and his little face turned red.
The head teacher looked at him with appreciation before continuing to read out the next results.
After the results were read out, the award certificates were distributed. Starting with the top student, each student went up to the podium to receive their own certificate.
When it was Ji Ziang's turn, the head teacher put two certificates in Ji Ziang's hands.
Just as Ji Ziang was about to turn around and leave, the head teacher said, "Wait a moment."
Ji Ziang turned around and looked at his head teacher in surprise.
The head teacher took a schoolbag from the ground and put it in Ji Ziang's hand: "You have performed very well this year. This is a reward from the teacher. When you reach the fifth grade, you must continue to work hard, understand?"
The schoolbag is blue with a pattern of a little bear printed on it.
Ji Ziang swallowed and bowed to the head teacher: "Thank you, teacher."
After Ji Ziang returned to his seat, his deskmate looked at him with something strange in his eyes.
Originally, we are all the same, just salted fish. But then, you suddenly turned over and became a success, which makes me, a salted fish, look particularly salty.
Ji Ziang looked at the certificate and schoolbag in his hands, feeling very happy and didn't notice the expression of his deskmate at all.
"In the fifth grade, we can no longer sit at the same table..." At this moment, Ji Ziang's desk mate spoke slowly.
Ji Ziang came back to his senses, looking confused: "Ah? Why?"
He quite likes this classmate at the same table because he always has new and interesting things.
"Because you are a good student and I am a bad student, good students and bad students cannot sit at the same table." The deskmate said leisurely.
Ji Ziang blinked his eyes: "Who said that? I want to be your deskmate."
Naturally, his deskmate didn't take Ji Ziang's words to heart and just thought he was just talking casually.
After all the certificates were distributed, the head teacher organized the students to clean the classroom before school was dismissed.
It was just past four o'clock. When the three of them returned home, Li Xu had already left with Li Zhiming and Liu Guihua.
Although he was a little disappointed that he didn't see Li Xu, Ji Ziang still placed both certificates on the dining table with great enthusiasm, and said to Ji Yuanyuan proudly, "Yuanyuan, all your candies for the second half of the year belong to me."
Ji Yuanyuan leaned forward to take a look. One was for "Three Good Students" and the other was for "Best Improvement".
She nodded with satisfaction, and waved her hand happily: "All for you."
Ji Ziang happily held the certificate and returned to his room.
He had to think carefully and ask Uncle Zhang what gift he wanted. He also had to give gifts to his mother, second uncle, aunt, grandparents.
It was already six o'clock in the evening when Li Xu and the other two returned home.
As soon as he entered the door, Ji Ziang came forward and showed the certificate to Li Xu.
Li Xu turned the certificate over and over several times before he believed: Ji Ziang finally got the certificate.
Half a year ago, she would never have dared to think about this, but now it has come true.
Around seven o'clock in the evening, Zhang Kun also came over.
Ji Ziang naturally showed off again and received a lot of praise from Zhang Kun.
"Uncle Zhang, I need to think carefully about the gift, so please don't rush me." Ji Ziang said very proudly.
Zhang Kun patted Ji Ziang's head proudly and said, "Okay."
Li Miao's exam lasted for three days, which exhausted Li Xu and Li Zhiming.
On the third night, three people waited at the school gate and helped Li Miao move all his things back home.
After moving everything, Li Miao can relax for a while. The results will be out in late July, and then he can start filling out his application. Around mid-August, the school's admission letter will be mailed to his home.
At night, Li Zhiming, Liu Guihua and Li Miao all stayed at Li Xu's place.
Li Xu's room was given to the old couple, and the two sisters and Ji Yuanyuan shared a room.
After being extremely nervous, Li Miao couldn't sleep when he suddenly relaxed.
Li Xu was so exhausted these days that he fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow.
Ji Yuanyuan nestled in Li Miao's arms and asked quietly, "Aunt, how did you do in the exam?"
After Li Miao came back, no one asked him this question, for fear of making him unhappy.
After Ji Yuanyuan finished asking, Li Miao chuckled and whispered, "Aunt has tried her best, it should be okay."
Seeing that Li Miao was in a good mood, Ji Yuanyuan knew that she would pass the exam.
Ji Yuanyuan stretched out her little hand, patted Li Miao on the back, and comforted her softly: "Aunt, as long as you try your best, you will definitely be able to get into university."
Li Miao looked at Ji Yuanyuan, who seemed like a little adult, and suddenly thought of a question, so he asked, "Has your father come to see you these days?"
Although Li Miao has been taking exams these days, he is still thinking about this matter.
After all, Ji Jianguo is rich now, and things are the same as before.
If he really made up his mind to compete with Li Xu for the custody of these children, things might become a bit troublesome.
In the darkness, Ji Yuanyuan curled her lips and said, "No!"
Hearing this, Li Miao frowned: What on earth does Ji Jianguo want to do? Why did he stop making any moves after saying such harsh words?
As he was thinking, Li Miao soon fell asleep.
The next morning, after breakfast, Li Zhiming and Liu Guihua were going back to the countryside.
There is a lot of work to do in the fields now. I have been delayed for three days because of Li Miao's college entrance examination. If I don't go back, the crops in the fields will wither.
Li Miao did not reply. Now that she had finished the college entrance examination, she wanted to find a job in the county.
At least you can earn a few hundred dollars in one summer vacation.
If I can really get into university, that will pay for one semester's tuition.
Li Zhiming and Liu Guihua also supported Li Miao's decision.
The children have grown up and need to share some of the pressure at home.
