When he grew up, he learned that that look was called "pity".
But he didn't care, and he didn't have time to care.
My grandmother lives alone. She works hard in the fields every day, and during the off-season, she has to go around collecting recyclables to sell for money.
After school, he would rush home to help his grandmother with chores.
Grandma always told him not to do it and to go study instead.
After the high school entrance exam, he achieved excellent results, becoming the top scorer in the county. His classmates said that his score was among the best in the city as well.
He didn't care at the time; he just went to whichever high school he got into!
He was just a little worried because high school was no longer part of compulsory education, and he had heard that the tuition was very expensive.
Grandma told him not to worry, saying that she had been saving up his tuition fees since he was a child, and that she had saved up a lot of money, enough for him to go to school!
When his homeroom teacher brought teachers from the county's No. 1 Middle School and the city's No. 1 Middle School to his home, he was helping his grandmother dig soil in the field.
Grandma quickly took him home to see his teacher.
A teacher from the county's No. 1 Middle School said that Lin Da's tuition and living expenses could be waived, and she would also receive a scholarship of 3,000 yuan per semester.
A teacher from the No. 1 Middle School said that Lin Da's tuition could be waived, but her living expenses would not be waived, and scholarships would depend on her grades.
Linda stood behind his grandmother, a head taller than her, and tugged hard at the hem of her clothes.
Grandma Lin understood what he meant; Lin Da wanted to go to the county's No. 1 Middle School.
Tuition and living expenses are waived, plus a scholarship of 3,000 yuan, which is equivalent to not spending any money each semester. With Linda's thriftiness, she can definitely save 3,000 yuan every year.
Grandma Lin patted Lin Da's hand and very directly asked the homeroom teacher a question.
"Teacher Li, which school is better, the county's No. 1 High School or the city's No. 1 High School?"
When Grandma Lin asked this question, the teachers at the county's No. 1 Middle School immediately became embarrassed.
"Grandma Lin, the educational quality of the county's No. 1 High School is a little worse than that of the city's No. 1 High School, but it is still the best high school in our county!"
Moreover, Teacher Zhang assured me that as soon as Lin Da entered the county's No. 1 Middle School, he would be placed in the top class.
This is equivalent to stepping into the gates of a top university, an opportunity that countless students would kill for!
Teacher Yu from the admissions office of the city's No. 1 High School became anxious when she saw that the homeroom teacher, Teacher Li, was favoring the county's No. 1 High School.
He didn't want to miss out on Linda, such a promising talent.
She got full marks in all four subjects: math, physics, chemistry, and biology. In this year's high school entrance exam, besides Ji Siyuan, only Lin Da achieved that.
Teacher Yu even specifically asked Lin Da about her usual grades in these four subjects.
Wow, he got almost perfect scores on all those exams.
Others score 95 points because their actual ability is only 95 points.
Linda got a perfect score because the test only had one hundred points.
However, this child is a bit weak in humanities, but that's okay. In the second year of high school, students are supposed to switch between humanities and sciences. His homeroom teacher can focus on supervising his English and Chinese studies. If all else fails, he can pursue a competition route.
In an instant, several methods for cultivating Linda flashed through Teacher Yu's mind.
Teacher Zhang from the county's No. 1 Middle School had a completely different expression from Teacher Yu.
Hearing what Teacher Li said, he immediately knew that Teacher Li was biased towards him, and he couldn't help but feel smug.
The city's No. 1 High School only waives tuition fees, and even if you get in, you'll still be in a regular class. It's not as good as getting directly into the key class of the county's No. 1 High School!
"Linda's grandmother said that as long as Linda agrees to go to the county's No. 1 Middle School, he will be in the key class."
Every semester, a scholarship of three thousand yuan will be deposited into your account on time!
Teacher Zhang patted his chest and guaranteed it.
Teacher Yu couldn't sit still any longer: "Grandma Lin, the No. 1 High School in Xingcheng has the best educational quality. Last year alone, more than a dozen students were admitted to top universities like Tsinghua and Beijing Normal University. Although students are randomly assigned to classes in their first year of high school, when they choose their majors in their second year, we will divide them into special classes, competition classes, experimental classes, and advanced classes based on their grades..."
Grandma Lin didn't understand what the teacher meant by "key classes" and "competition classes." All she knew was that Teacher Li said the No. 1 Middle School in the city was good.
"The No. 1 High School in the city is great, Xiao Da will go to study at the No. 1 High School in the city!"
"With Linda's grades, she could definitely pursue the competition route. If her grades are outstanding, she could be directly admitted to Tsinghua or Beijing Normal University..."
"What, Grandma Lin, you agree to let Linda go to No. 1 Middle School?"
Teacher Yu was still listing the advantages of No. 1 Middle School when she suddenly heard Grandma Lin's words and hadn't even reacted yet.
Grandma Lin nodded: "Yes, No. 1 Middle School is better. Lin Da wants to go to No. 1 Middle School."
Even though Linda tried to tear the hem of her clothes from behind, she couldn't change Grandma Lin's mind.
Teacher Yu was overjoyed and immediately took out a notice, wrote Lin Da's name on it by hand, and handed it to Grandma Lin.
Teacher Zhang was so angry that she slammed the door and left on the spot.
So Linda reluctantly came to the No. 1 Middle School of the city with her luggage.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Chi Chan insisted on chatting with Lin Da.
She then discovered that her deskmate was a science genius.
However, regarding the competition classes and key classes that Teacher Yu mentioned, in accordance with the new policy requirements and in order to better implement quality education, the No. 1 High School will cancel all of these in the second year of high school.
Of course, this excludes classes for students with special talents in arts and sports.
After the second year of high school, the No. 1 High School in the city only has regular classes.
But Chi Chan felt there was no need to tell Lin Da now, otherwise it would be difficult to explain how she knew.
After listening to Linda's story, Chi Chan felt only: "Lemons on the lemon tree, and only I under the lemon tree."
The cicada in the pond sighed, feeling as sour as a lemon.
"After entering the No. 1 High School in the city, I found that there were many hidden talents around me, and I was just a chicken jumping around happily among the beasts!"
From now on, I'll stick close to my deskmate; my future university admission depends entirely on you!
Chi Chan clasped his hands in a teasing gesture.
At this moment, their relationship took another step forward; they became friends!
Not only was Chi Chan happy, but Lin Da was also very happy.
His classmates looked at him with a hint of disdain.
Lin Da understands this, so he usually tries not to talk to his classmates, which saves him more time to study.
But Chi Chan was an exception; his new friend was very enthusiastic and treated him very well!
Linda felt that he should supervise his new friend's studies more in the future and help her get into her ideal university.
Chi Chan was unaware that her new friend, Lin Da, had already helped her plan her future studies.
All she knew was that her relationship with Linda had progressed further today, and she would be able to ask her questions more boldly in the future.
Both parties were very satisfied.
Zhang Qiaoyue was very satisfied at this point. Before the market closed, she bought the last large piece of good pork belly. She also bought all the pork bones that the vendor had left.
The first thing I did when I got home was to call Chi Minghe and Grandpa Chi to share the good news.
"Okay, okay!"
"If business is good, that's good!"
Chi Minghe was overjoyed.
