Chapter 48: Accepting Others’ Kindness Properly

Hang Jingshu approached obediently with the book in his hand.

Grandma Yan patted the Lord beside her and called her: "Come here and sit here."

This is about having a heart-to-heart talk with yourself.

Hang Jingshu put the book in his hand aside first, and then sat next to Grandma Yan.

Grandma Yan was a kind old lady. She held Hang Jingshu's hand and said earnestly, "Xiaohang, I know you are a strong-willed child, but going to school is a big deal. You can't stop going to school just to make money."

But considering his own situation, Hang Jingshu bit his lip. Is Grandma Yan going to fire him?

Thinking of this possibility, Hang Jingshu felt a little reluctant.

The two old people are kind and amiable. They are not picky at all and get along with each other as if they were their own elders.

Hang Jingshu asked Grandma Yan anxiously, "Are you going to fire me?"

Grandma Yan didn't expect the girl to ask her this.

Seeing her worried look, I knew she was thinking the wrong thing: "Grandma means that you can go to school peacefully during the day, and then come back to cook at night. This way you can learn knowledge and make money at the same time. Isn't it better?"

This would make him the one taking advantage, so Hang Jingshu refused without thinking, "No, Grandma Yan, this is..."

Grandma Yan stopped Hang Jingshu from talking: "Good boy, when you meet someone who helps you, you should know how to take advantage of the situation. Besides, grandma also likes your cooking. This way we can both do it. During the winter and summer vacations, you can make more delicious food."

Hang Jingshu still felt that this was not a good idea.

Finally, the two of them discussed it for a long time and finally made a decision.

Hang Jingshu is responsible for making breakfast and dinner every day. His current salary is 60 yuan, which can be reduced to 40 yuan at the discretion of the company.

Even so, it's much better than Hang Jingshu working in a hotel.

She was grateful to Grandma Yan from the bottom of her heart.

Hang Jingshu has no worries about taking the exam at No. 1 Middle School tomorrow.

It's just another test. As long as you have the strength, you will never be afraid of fire.

Compared with Hang Jingshu's calmness, Director Qi and Teacher Cai had a sleepless night.

The next day, he showed up with dark circles under his eyes, which startled Teacher Sun in the office: "Director, Teacher Cai, what did you two do yesterday?"

This statement was very ambiguous, and other people in the office looked over immediately.

Director Qi, who is in his forties, waved his hands and said, "It's all because of that transfer student."

In this year's college entrance examination, Hang Chenggang from the No. 2 Middle School of the county and the remaining 6 candidates all entered undergraduate programs.

The No. 1 Middle School in Fengcheng City is the signature school of Fengcheng and a provincial key school, but it has only produced 10 undergraduate students.

Especially since English was included in the exam for the first time this year and the math paper was so difficult, it can be said that many candidates were complaining bitterly.

Director Qi certainly didn't want to let go of a promising prospect that had finally emerged.

All I thought about the whole night was trying to persuade Hang Jingshu to go to school and study hard.

Teacher Cai also did this because of this.

But thinking of Hang Jingshu's resolute attitude at Yan's house, they both found it difficult. They put their hands on their cheeks and sighed in unison: "Ah~"

Teacher Zhou, who had raised objections last time, comforted the child and said, "It's okay. Maybe after the child comes here and sees our teaching environment, he will change his mind."

Teacher Cai looked up at Teacher Zhou helplessly, thinking to himself, you don’t understand, you can tell just by looking at that child that he is strong-willed.

Oh no, I should say I am very strong-willed.

Teacher Zhou wanted to say something when he heard someone knocking on the door. He opened the door and found that it was the class monitor Wang Chongyun, followed by Hang Jingshu who was going to take the exam today.

Teacher Cai had arranged for Wang Chongyun to pick someone up at the door at a certain time during the morning self-study session. He was also very surprised when he met Hang Jingshu.

There's going to be a transfer student in their class?

He doesn’t look very old, could he have skipped a grade?

Wang Chongyun was holding the holiday homework collected from the morning self-study class. "Teacher, I'm here. This is the homework for our class."

Teacher Cai took the homework, flipped through it casually, and nodded to Wang Chongyun, "Okay, you go back first, it's time for class soon."

Hang Jingshu traveled light today, bringing only draft paper and stationery. The No. 1 Middle School in the city is not far from the compound, so she came by bicycle.

When Director Qi saw Hang Jingshu coming, he felt relieved and nodded at her: "It's good that you're here. Let's start the exam."

The examination was held in the teacher's office, with a quiet spot specially reserved for Hang Jingshu to do his exam questions.

This time, the exam paper was the entrance exam of the No. 1 Middle School in the city last year. As long as Hang Jingshu can perform around 400 points, he will be qualified to transfer to the next class.

The first exam was in Chinese. Hang Jingshu had only eaten half his breakfast today so as not to feel sleepy during the exam.

When the test paper was handed to him, there was a faint smell of ink. Hang Jingshu first took a quick look at it and reviewed the questions.

Then hold your breath and start writing.

When she was concentrating on the exam, there were three teachers in the office, two of whom were in charge of the exam and one of whom started marking Hang Jingshu's papers as soon as he finished writing.

I only took Chinese and English in the morning. These two subjects are what Hang Jingshu is good at, and he can finish them relatively quickly.

The test papers nowadays did not have as many questions as those later on, especially since they were prepared by the No. 1 Middle School of the city, and they tested students’ basic knowledge, so Hang Jingshu naturally managed to answer them with ease.

Hang Jingshu always eats lunch in the office.

I will take the minor subjects in the afternoon first, and after the tiredness is over, it will be time to take the mathematics exam.

Hang Jingshu was writing furiously, and the entire Class 1 of Grade 3 already knew about the gossip.

There will be a transfer student in their class, and he's a special one.

As the person who went to pick someone up, Wang Chongyun was naturally the center of gossip. After the first class in the afternoon, a group of people surrounded him.

"Squad leader, tell me, is the newcomer a man or a woman? Did he get in through the backdoor?"

"To join the class at this time, you must have used a backdoor!"

"Then why do we need to take the exam? Hey, is the monitor the transfer student a boy or a girl?"

After talking about all sorts of things, Wang Chongyun put the book away before speaking: "It's a woman, she doesn't look very old."

After thinking for a while, he added, "I think Director Qi thinks highly of her, so she must have good grades."

Hang Jingshu was taking the exam quietly in the office, little knowing that her arrival had caused an uproar in the senior class.

It was not until sunset that Hang Jingshu stopped writing and finished the exam.

After waiting for about ten minutes, her final results came out.

The total score is 470 points.

It was only one point higher than the last time, but when Director Qi saw the test paper, he almost got angry.

How come my math score is even lower than last time?

This time, Hang Jingshu's scores were 98 in Chinese, 75 in mathematics, 82 in English, 65 in politics, 72 in history, and 78 in geography.

Although Hang Jingshu was a housewife in her previous life, she was the one who helped her children with their homework until the first year of high school.

Especially for the two main subjects, the full marks are 120 points each, while the full marks for English and other subjects are 100 points.

This result is acceptable considering the individual performance. There is still room for improvement in each subject.

Hang Jingshu's strength is also obvious to all.

Holding the test paper, Director Qi still did not give up: "Xiaohang, are you really not going to go to class? This will be more effective in improving your grades, why don't you think about it again?"

This time, Hang Jingshu did not shake his head and refuse. Instead, he smiled and gave his answer: "Director Qi, Grandma Yan and I discussed it yesterday. I will come to school after my student registration is completed."

This is such a pleasant surprise!

Director Qi's eyes lit up, and Teacher Cai at the side couldn't help but smile: "Okay, okay, it's still Grandma Yan who has to take action! Then it's settled! I'll go arrange a desk for you!"

After saying this, Teacher Cai left in a hurry, fearing that he would leave too late and Hang Jingshu would regret it.

The next day, the test paper done by Hang Jingshu was posted on the class bulletin board of Class 1, Grade 3.

This is the same set that everyone did before the holiday, with a total score of 469 points.

When this score came out, it shattered the confidence of many people, and some people even had tears in their eyes.

People tend to be restless at the beginning of a semester, but after seeing this score, many of them settled down and started working hard.

When Hang Jingshu returned to the Yan family, she didn't know that she had been regarded as an imaginary enemy by many people before she even entered Class 1 of Grade 3.
