Chapter 211
After the meal, the children went to school happily together. Yang Yulan, Chen Xiuxiu and others also had to go to work in the factory, while Zhang Hongli and Hong Guangwu stayed at Old Song's house for the whole morning and went back after lunch.
Before leaving, Feng Guizhi offered them a lot of things to take away, but Zhang Hongli refused to take any, and ended up taking only a few eggs and a bowl of stewed chicken.
In fact, the chicken soup tastes the best, but it is not easy to carry, so I only packed the chicken. When they get home in the evening, I will make some noodles and have some shredded chicken noodles.
After seeing them off, Feng Guizhi went into the house.
It was April, and the middle school had just finished its midterm exams. When the report cards came out, some were happy, while others were worried. However, the children of the Song family all did quite well.
Baoya and Tianen are both first in the class this time, Yunduo, Wenjie and Boyu are also in the top ten. Yuanbao's grades are not that good, but he scored above 70 points in every subject, which is considered average in the class.
Moreover, although Yuanbao's grades were not good, he had a good mentality, so he was not affected at all. Instead, he boasted about Baoya and Tianen's grades to Wang Duanduan and Zhou Feiyu in class, looking proud of himself.
"Let me tell you, my little sister Xiaobao is number one in her class, with full marks in both Chinese and math! Isn't that amazing?"
"My fifth brother is also the top student in his class. The teacher praised him many times. He is very good at math and got full marks on the test. He is also almost full marks in Chinese. I heard that he still has to write essays in the third grade. My fifth brother is really amazing."
Wang Duanduan and Zhou Feiyu were also impressed when they heard this, and then turned around and asked, "Your brother and sister are so amazing, so how come you..."
Yuanbao: “…”
This topic ends here.
Feng Guizhi and Song Jianshe are people who don’t attach much importance to academic performance. Good grades are of course a good thing, but they won’t be angry if they don’t do well in the exams.
Li Qingyan looked at Yuanbao's report card and felt a little worried.
"As a Chinese teacher, I'm pretty good at teaching my students, but why can't my son do the same? It seems he didn't inherit any of my genes."
Song Jianshe smiled and said, "Yes, yes, it's all inherited from me. I'm not good at Chinese. When I was a child, I always failed Chinese. If I hadn't married you, who is good at Chinese,
Teacher, I don’t think Yuanbao will even get 70 points.”
Li Qingyan rolled her eyes at him, but then said nothing. Although Yuanbao's grades weren't great, he was smart and clever, so there was no need to expect too much from him.
Two days later, Teacher Li in the office said something: "I heard that our county might be holding a competition."
"Competition? What competition?" When she said this, the other teachers heard it and asked.
"It means taking the exam together for all the students in the county, and the top three students will receive bonuses."
"But with so many students taking the exam together, this exam room..." a teacher asked in confusion.
"They probably won't test everyone. I guess they'll select some good students and put them together in one classroom to test, and then compare their scores."
"so......"
The teachers discussed the matter for a while and all agreed that this competition was a good thing. After all, if they didn't do well, there was no loss. If they did well, it would be good for the school's reputation, and they would also get a prize. However, since this was just hearsay and there was no final conclusion, the teachers stopped talking about it.
However, the official announcement soon followed. The exam was set for May 1st, at Yucai Primary School. Each school would send thirty students to participate, with five classes totaling four students per class.
After receiving the notice, Xu Nianbai quickly decided on his candidates. The midterm exam had just concluded, and the top four students in their class were Baoya, Zhang Hongzhi, Deng Defeng, and Liu Lingling. Furthermore, their grades were relatively stable, and they were generally in the top five on every exam. So, without further consideration, Xu Nianbai simply called them over and broke the news.
"There's a competition in our county soon, and we'll be taking the exam at Yucai Primary School. There are four people in our class, and the teacher wants you to go. Are you willing?"
The children glanced at each other, their faces showing some surprise: "Competition? Is it just an exam? Chinese and math?"
Xu Nianbai nodded. "Yes, you will take the exam with many other students. If you rank in the top three, you will receive bonuses and rewards. The teacher will take you there and we will come back together after you finish the exam, so there is nothing to worry about."
"You can also go home and discuss it with your family and tell me the result on Friday. However,
After that, you guys will definitely have to make up for it, and you have to tell your family about this as well."
Baoya and the others nodded, and then Xu Nianbai asked them to leave. After the four children left the office, their faces were full of excitement.
"Competition, we will compete with students from other schools."
“I don’t know how their academic performance is.”
Zhang Hongzhi asked, "Hey, are you guys going?"
"I'll go home and ask my mother. She should let me go."
"Go, my dad will definitely ask me to go. Maybe I can get into the top three and get a bonus."
"Then we all need to work hard and see if we can all make it into the top three."
"......" Several people started talking excitedly. Baoya, who was standing by, also became expectant and her eyes lit up.
However, Baoya thought that the students who would go there would be only those with good grades, and the competition would be fierce, so getting into the top three would be very difficult. She then gave up thinking about it and just waited until school was over in the afternoon to go home and tell Yang Yulan and the others about it.
After school in the afternoon, Baoya met up with Yuanbao and the other kids. Before she could say anything, Yunduo told her that Tianen was going to participate in a competition.
"Today our Chinese teacher found our fifth brother and told him that we're going to participate in a competition in May. There are four people in our class going, and our fifth brother is among them."
"Competition? Is it a competition exam?" Yuanbao had never heard of this before, so he asked curiously when he heard it.
"Yeah, anyway, I will have to go to another primary school and take the exam with others." Yun Duo said after thinking about it.
Baoya then spoke up about what Xu Nianbai had called her about today: "Our teacher also called me and my classmates today and told us that we were going to participate in a competition and asked if we were willing."
"Your teacher also contacted you, Little Bao?" Yuanbao turned around and asked Boyu Wenjie and the others, "Third brother, third brother, did your teacher also tell you about this? Why didn't I know about it? Our teacher didn't tell us either."
"I heard about it from my classmates today, but our teacher didn't look for me. That student ranked first in our midterm exam. It seems that only teachers with good grades would look for him." Boyu said after thinking for a while.
Among them, only Tianen and Baoya
The teacher had asked them to join the competition, and since they had both topped the class on the final exam, it seemed only good academically could they participate. But after all, since they were competing against students from other schools, they would definitely select students with good grades.
Yuanbao didn't think any more about it and instead cheered Tian'en and Baoya on: "Brother Wu and sister Xiaobao, you two should both go and take the exam, right? Just study hard and you'll definitely come back with first place!"
They chatted and laughed all the way and soon arrived home. Yuanbao, Tianen and Baoya went to find Feng Guizhi together and told her about this.
"Grandma, Fifth Brother and Little Sister Xiaobao were both chosen by the teacher to participate in the competition because they both have good academic performance and took first place in the last midterm exam!"
Tian'en then relayed what the teacher had said to Feng Guizhi, who was delighted. Being chosen by the teacher meant they were recognized for their achievements, and there was no harm in participating in the competition. She didn't care about the prize money, but she would be happy if they did well.
"Okay, grandma has no objection. If you two want to attend, just tell the teacher. If you need to make up for the lessons, tell your aunt in advance. If it's too late, ask your dad to pick you up."
Baoya and Tianen both nodded and agreed. They both wanted to participate, after all, it had never happened before.
After Yang Yulan and Song Jianye returned, the children told them the story again. Both Yang Yulan and Song Jianye smiled and praised Tian'en and Baoya: "Well, you two are both amazing. If you want to participate, go ahead. No matter how you do in the exam, your parents will give you a reward."
"Do your best in the exam. Dad believes in you." Song Jianye said as he rubbed Tian'en's head.
Tian'en and Baoya both smiled and nodded affirmatively.
On Friday, Baoya replied to Xu Nianbai, saying she would attend, and the other three also said they would. After receiving their affirmative responses, Xu Nianbai began to arrange for make-up lessons. After all, it was already April, and the May exam was only a few days away. As the saying goes, sharpening a sword before the battle is good, even if it's not fast, it will be bright. Maybe he can even improve a few points by then.
Although Xu Nianbai was very confident in their performance, it was still a bit difficult after all since all the primary schools in the county came together to compete.
It's intense, and the difficulty of the exam may increase, so you have to take it seriously.
Xu Nianbai quickly arranged the tutoring sessions and told them the time of the tutoring sessions. He asked them to tell the adults at home when they returned home in the evening and then come to attend the tutoring sessions starting tomorrow.
The third day was Saturday. In the morning, Baoya played with Yuanbao and other kids for a while. After lunch when it was almost time for make-up classes, Feng Guizhi asked Song Jianshe to take Baoya and Tianen to school for make-up classes.
Except for Saturdays and Sundays, every afternoon after school, the two of them would stay an extra hour to work on some homework assigned by their teacher. The two little ones worked very hard and never felt tired at all.
Sometimes Li Qingyan would stay and wait for them to finish before leaving together, and sometimes Song Jianshe or Song Jianye would come to pick them up.
For more than a week, the tutoring went smoothly, and Xu Nianbai was very satisfied with their speed and results in solving the questions. However, he did not expect that something unexpected would happen just as the competition was about to begin.
