Chapter 217: Middle School Entrance Exam Results Released
Shen Xuewei's eyes welled up with tears.
"I know, Auntie. Anyway, whatever the result, that's what. I'm not putting too much pressure on myself."
Chen Fangli lifted Chu Dexi up and used one hand to pat Shen Xuewei's head.
"That's good. In your second aunt's eyes, Weiwei will always be the best child."
After experiencing all that, Shen Xuewei suddenly realized that what she had always wanted had already been obtained from Chen Fangli.
She no longer clung to the past; she simply wanted to live a good life and become a better Shen Xuewei.
The two waited by the roadside for a while, and soon a bus heading to town passed by.
Shen Xuewei stopped the car and waved goodbye to Chen Fangli.
With the approach of the high school entrance examination, Shen Xuewei's initial nervousness had long since dissipated, and she felt calm and composed.
Holding their prepared stationery, they sat in the examination room with the rest of the group, waiting for the exam bell to ring.
The three-day middle school entrance examination has come to an end. Some junior high students are cheering, while others are feeling down because they did not perform well. All kinds of different voices are intertwined and form a vivid and bright movement.
After finishing the exam, some students packed their things and carried their suitcases home by themselves.
Some parents who are particularly concerned about their children will wait at the school gate after their children finish their exams and help them pack their things.
After leaving the examination hall, Shen Xuewei and Wu Jingrou walked back to their dormitory together.
This time, she didn't hide from people; instead, she openly took her phone out of the box.
The phone rang as soon as I turned it on.
She pressed the answer button.
"Hello?"
"Weiwei, your second aunt and I are waiting here at the school gate. A lot of people from your school have finished their exams and come out. Have you finished yours too?"
"Yes, I've finished my exams and I'm packing my things in my dorm now."
“There are so many things, you can’t carry them all by yourself. Take your time packing, there’s no rush. Your second aunt and I are coming to the school to find you now.”
"Okay, my dorm room is 407, don't go to the wrong one."
"Don't worry, it's definitely right. I just asked your grandfather."
After hanging up the phone, Shen Xuewei continued tidying up the things on the bed.
A seemingly casual glance fell upon her phone on the bed, but Shen Xuewei pretended not to notice.
She didn't actually have many close friends in her third year of junior high; she was only close to Wu Jingrou and some of her original friends.
After graduating from junior high school, some students with good grades may go on to high school, but most of them may enter the workforce.
There are no so-called key high schools in the entire Luli County. There are only five high schools in total, one of which is not in the county but in the neighboring county.
The admission score for this high school is lower than that of the four high schools in the county.
No matter how badly you do on the exam, as long as you're willing to pay, the school will accept you; it's a safety net school.
Chen Fangli and Chen Fangyang quickly came up to the dormitory and helped her take her things down.
Wu Yuhong had also packed her things and would be going back to Xiaoli Village with Chen Fangyang in a little while.
As she walked out of the school gate, Shen Xuewei looked back at the old school in front of her.
She heard Chen Fangyang urging her from behind, responded, and quickly got into the car.
As Chen Fangyang drove, he would occasionally glance at Shen Xuewei in the back seat through the rearview mirror, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
He wanted to ask Shen Xuewei how she felt about the exam and whether she had estimated how many points she could get.
But seeing Shen Xuewei's exhausted appearance, he couldn't bring himself to ask.
Chen Fangli, in the passenger seat, shook her head at him. He nodded, but ultimately didn't ask anything.
Back at the Chen family home, Chen's maternal grandparents were waiting. When the car arrived, they got out and rushed to greet them.
"Weiwei, how did the exam go? Was it difficult? How many points do you estimate you got?"
Shen Xuewei looked weary. "It should be alright, about the same difficulty as the previous final exams. As for the score... we'll know when the results come out."
Chen Fangyang helped Shen Xuewei carry the box into the house, and Chen Fangli followed, carrying Shen Xuewei's schoolbag, as well as buckets and other items.
After putting her things down, Chen Fangli gently pushed Shen Xuewei to the side of the stairs.
"Alright, Mom and Dad, Weiwei just finished her exam and looks tired. Let her go upstairs to rest first."
"As for the results of the high school entrance exam, we'll know when they come out in a few days, won't we?"
"The exams are all over, and you're guaranteed to get into high school, so you can all relax."
Shen Xuewei smiled gratefully at her and quickly went upstairs to rest.
The elderly couple were comforted by Chen Fangli, and in the following days, they did not ask about Shen Xuewei's grades, allowing Shen Xuewei to rest peacefully for a few days.
Chen Fanglan went home on the day the middle school entrance exam results were released.
Shen Xuewei had originally agreed with her that she would go to stay with her after the results came out.
Having completed these days of arrangements and reorganization, Chen Fanglan had delegated the tasks that had been weighing on her to her two store managers, which made her feel much lighter. She simply went home to pick up Shen Xuewei.
When the middle school entrance exam results came out, Grandpa Chen took Shen Xuewei to school early in the morning, followed by Chen Fanglan.
With a perfect score of 690, Shen Xuewei scored 663, ranking first in the entire school.
The three of them ran into Wang Zhuoxi and her son at school and asked them about their scores.
Wang Zhuoxi's score was exactly ten points lower than Shen Xuewei's.
Both sets of parents kept praising each other's children for their good grades, while the two parties involved chatted on the side.
"Shen Xuewei, which high school are you going to?"
"It should be No. 1 High School. My maternal grandfather said it a long time ago. When I go to high school, he wants me to go to No. 1 High School."
The county has four high schools: No. 1 High School, No. 2 High School, No. 3 High School, and Overseas Chinese High School.
Teachers from these high schools will call to recruit students who have achieved good results in the middle school entrance exam.
Shen Xuewei's grades, while not necessarily the best, should place her in the top ten in the county.
Such results are enough to warrant these high schools calling to recruit him.
Among the high schools, No. 1 High School had the strongest teaching staff and was the most favored by Chen's maternal grandfather.
Sure enough, not long after the three of them returned home, Grandpa Chen received several phone calls from the school.
Grandpa Chen didn't hesitate much and decided that Shen Xuewei would go to Luli No. 1 Middle School.
After hanging up the phone, he looked at Shen Xuewei with a clear smile on his face.
"Weiwei, you did well on the high school entrance exam. How about Grandpa throws a banquet for the relatives..."
Before he could finish speaking, Shen Xuewei shook her head repeatedly in refusal.
"Grandpa, no. Holding a banquet is too much trouble, and this is just the middle school entrance exam, not the college entrance exam. If I get into university after the college entrance exam, then you can hold a banquet."
"It's really too early to do it now."
After his initial excitement subsided, Grandpa Chen realized that Shen Xuewei's words made some sense.
He felt it was a bit unfair to Shen Xuewei that they didn't hold a banquet.
He stared at Shen Xuewei for a long time, then took out a wad of cash from his pocket, hesitating about how much to reward her.
After thinking for a few seconds, he took out a hundred-yuan bill and gave it to Shen Xuewei.
"Here, Weiwei, take this money. It's a reward for getting good grades. You can buy whatever you want."
Shen Xuewei obediently accepted it, saying, "Thank you, Grandpa."
Just as Grandpa Chen was putting the money back in his hand, Chen Fangqiu came in through the door.
Seeing the money in Grandpa Chen's hand, her eyes lit up for a moment. She quickly took two steps, blocked Grandpa Chen's path, and stretched out her hand to him.
"Dad, I'm out of money. Can you give me some?"
