After thinking about it all night, Fang Weiwei accepted his fate.
It's impossible to go back. My mother will tear my skull apart.
So what can he do? Learn.
"Brother, can you reward me with a delicious meal every time I pass an exam? That way I'll feel that studying won't be so painful." Fang Weiwei looked at his brother pitifully.
He knew that his mother would definitely leave a lot of money for his younger brother, but he didn't know how much money exactly.
"What you mean is that you, a high school student, ranked last in the junior high school exam, and I still have to give you a reward?" Fang Mengmeng asked.
Fang Weiwei: ...
Having said that, could you please not be so obvious?
"That's because the people here are so evil, not because I'm too weak.
Think about it, I'm the best student in my circle in Beijing." Fang Weiwei said unconvinced.
"Then have you ever thought that there is something wrong with your circle?" Fang Mengmeng asked.
"Then just tell me whether you agree or not!" Fang Weiwei felt aggrieved and wanted to speak.
"Okay." Fang Mengmeng agreed.
Before Fang Weiwei could speak, he continued, "As long as you score above 80 points in all subjects, I will give you a reward."
"Fang Mengmeng, are you crazy?" Fang Weiwei looked at his brother in disbelief.
"Eighty points, and he's still the laggard of the class. If they knew there was a reward for getting an 80-point score, what do you think they would think?" Fang Mengmeng asked back.
In the village, students with poor academic performance basically won’t continue their studies after finishing elementary school.
Since I have finished elementary school, I know most of the words I should know.
Generally, those who can go to junior high school are those with good academic performance, and everyone is trying to study harder.
Although there is no college entrance examination now, the principal said that the college entrance examination is just an opportunity to test oneself.
Once the knowledge is learned in your mind, you will never suffer any loss at any time.
And it’s not that you can’t take the college entrance examination, it’s just that you can’t go to university.
I still have a high school diploma.
With a diploma, you still have many options.
"Lower the requirements a little bit. You want me to go from failing to 80 points in one go. That's too difficult," Fang Weiwei pleaded.
"Seventy points, it can't be any lower, but the reward isn't arbitrary. You can choose anything within one dollar.
"When you score above 80 on the test, there's no limit on the amount of reward," Fang Mengmeng said.
"Okay, 70 points is 70 points, let's try." From then on, Fang Weiwei began his study career of working hard.
Just for that one dollar reward.
Fang Weiwei thought, every penny he could earn is a penny, since he couldn't go back anyway.
After working hard for a month, Fang Weiwei finally took his first exam. He was full of confidence because he had done all the questions before and he knew them all.
So I worked hard and prepared to let my younger brother get an advance on his reward after the exam.
"The test results will be out tomorrow, there's no need to rush." Fang Mengmeng refused.
"I've already told you that the questions this time are all among the ones you gave me. There will be absolutely no problem. Don't you still believe your brother?" Fang Weiwei said.
Fang Mengmeng didn't say anything, just shook his head.
"Hmph, then we'll just have to wait and see!" Fang Weiwei said angrily.
There is no brotherly love at all. I don’t want this brother. He is not cute at all.
The next day, when the test papers were distributed, Fang Weiwei gave Fang Mengmeng a provocative look.
Humph, prepare to have your eyes blinded.
When Fang Weiwei got the test paper, he was stunned.
He knew he would do well on the test, but he didn't expect...
How could I do so badly in the exam!
It was as if struck by lightning.
Fang Mengmeng took a look at his brother's score and almost laughed out loud. Fortunately, he didn't buy it for him yesterday, otherwise he almost got cheated.
I just passed Chinese and English, but only got 65 points in math.
There wasn’t even a single subject with a score of 70.
He held back his laughter. This was much better than his previous score of more than ten points, and he couldn't discourage him.
"Why? I didn't have to work hard before and I could still get more than ten points. This month I worked so hard, but I only got 60 points." When Fang Weiwei returned home in the evening, he looked at his brother with a wandering look.
Although the teacher praised him for his progress today, he still couldn't get rid of the fact that he was last in the class.
"Because the dozen or so points you got before were all guesswork, but these sixty or so points are all the result of your hard work. You can't compare with them for sure." Fang Mengmeng encouraged.
"Think about it, how much of the ten points of knowledge could you remember before? Can you remember all the sixty points of knowledge now?"
Fang Weiwei thought about it and felt that what he said made some sense.
"But, let's not talk about anything else. Look at these questions. I have clearly done them all, so why are they still wrong?" Fang Weiwei asked, pointing at the math problems.
“You have done these questions before, and I have told you the correct answers.
But your answer is still the same one you've gotten wrong more than a dozen times!" Fang Mengmeng held his forehead.
"How about this? Next time I ask you to copy the questions, copy the correct ones a few times and maybe you'll remember them."
Fang Weiwei looked at the answer. How could it be wrong? Why was it wrong?
"Okay, okay, the teacher has praised you for your progress. I will still take you to buy delicious food tomorrow, okay?" Fang Mengmeng comforted.
"Really?" Fang Weiwei asked in surprise.
Anyway, it doesn’t matter to him whether he is in his sixties or seventies, as long as there is a reward.
"Only this time, because this is the first time you have made such great progress. If you don't score below 70 points next time, I won't give you a reward." Fang Mengmeng said.
"Okay, okay, okay, I've already got 60 points, so how far can 70 be? I'm sure I'll get over 70 next month.
Come on, let me take you to the store to buy some things." Fang Weiwei pulled Fang Mengmeng outside.
"Is it that one item cannot cost more than one dollar, or that all items combined cannot cost more than one dollar?
It’s better not to exceed all of them. I’ll be at a disadvantage if I only choose one thing…”
Along the way, Fang Weiwei chattered excitedly.
He received the first reward in his life, a reward for studying.
Although it is only a small amount of money, it brings great satisfaction.
He felt that he could get a perfect score next time.
After finishing the food in his hand, he picked up his books with full fighting spirit and worked hard to get full marks in the next test.
Ten minutes later...
Forget it, 80 points will be enough. I can get a lot of rewards!
Twenty minutes later...
In fact, 70 points is very impressive.
An hour later...
Wow, why don’t we just give in? We have pocket money anyway, so we can just buy whatever we want to eat.
Woo woo woo…
Studying is so difficult!
It’s so hard for me…
