Chapter 240 Results
The three-day holiday passed quickly. The children felt they hadn't had enough fun, but before they knew it, it was time to hand out their report cards.
When I first started studying in the enlightenment class, the exam content was actually very simple, just Chinese and mathematics, and then a basic comprehensive subject.
The comprehensive subjects are very diverse, including nature, science, basic geography knowledge, and a little foreign language.
There are three subjects, each with a score of 100 points, and the total score is 300 points.
"Sun Hai, you scored 288 points, the first in our class." Mr. Du handed the test paper to Sun Hai with satisfaction.
This child is well-behaved, sensible, and loves to study. He is very optimistic about and admires him.
But he still has a lot of shortcomings. "You need to practice writing more when you go back, okay?"
Perhaps because his family was poor and he was reluctant to use pens and ink, Sun Hai's handwriting was very poor.
There is no brushstroke at all. It is just an ordinary word that can be understood by people.
But such characters do not give you an advantage in the imperial examinations.
The four words "seeing your handwriting is like seeing your face" are not just a saying. In many cases, people get to know you through your handwriting first.
If you write well, others will have a much better first impression of you.
This good first impression is especially important in the imperial examination.
But there is no shortcut to writing. The only thing you need to do is write more and practice more.
The "over-writing" here does not mean writing on the sand with a bamboo stick, but writing with real paper and pen, placing them upright on the table, and writing deeply with each stroke.
"This is an extra reward from the teacher. I hope your calligraphy will improve to a higher level next semester."
After Master Du handed the first-place prize to Sun Hai, he pulled out a book. "This is an authentic work by a great calligrapher from the previous dynasty. I copied this book when I was young. Take it back and study it diligently. Don't slack off."
In an instant, Sun Hai's eyes turned red. "Master, this is too valuable. I can't accept it."
Although the Master did not mention the man's name, anyone who can be called a great man is definitely not an unknown person.
How could a nobody like him be worthy of owning the original works left by such a person?
"Take it. I can't refuse a gift from an elder."
Mr. Du had said so much, so Sun Hai had no choice but to accept the original.
He politely bowed to Master Du as a disciple and said, "I will definitely work very hard!"
A seed was planted in his heart when he was little. As he grew older, the flame grew stronger and stronger. Finally, when he became the most famous calligrapher in Dagan, everyone was proud to own his authentic works.
Mr. Du looked at Sun Hai with satisfaction and waved his hand to let him go.
He is going to continue handing out test papers.
Looking down, when he saw the score, he felt as if his soul had been dealt a critical blow.
"Zhang Baldy. One hundred and one points!"
Zhang Laitou stood up, somewhat puzzled. "Teacher, aren't all the subjects only 100 points? Why did you give me 101 points? Did I answer too well?"
That shouldn’t be the case. There are many topics that he hasn’t written about.
A mouthful of blood choked in Du Fuzi's throat. Was he still confused?
What are you confused about? Do you think his answer was great and want to give him an extra point?
Haha…what a bold idea!
"Haha, this is the combined score of your three subjects!"
Three subjects with a perfect score of 100, an average of less than 40 points per subject! Forget about the comprehensive subjects, the content is so vast and complex that it's understandable that I can't answer them all.
But you can’t answer both Chinese and math?
He looked at it and found that there were no tricky questions at all. As long as he listened carefully in class, there was nothing he couldn't do!
It was barely more than Sun Hai's fraction. He was still confused? Didn't he know his own weight?
"Last-last place, go back and ask your parents to come to the school. I want to talk to them about your studies!"
"ah?"
Zhang Laitou looked at Master Du in disbelief. "I didn't do well on the test, so I still have to ask my parents to come?" He didn't tell me that before.
If he had known this earlier, he would have taken the exam seriously.
Mr. Du was in no mood to continue arguing with him.
"Gu Erzhu, Li Sandan, Zhang Lufen, Zhang Dapiao, Gu Huangleng, Zhang Niudan, Gu Yuya, Li Siwen, Gu Yutie, Zhang Guodi, Gu Yupan, Xu Ludan, I want to see your parents at the school at this time tomorrow. If they don't come, I will go to your house myself!"
The children, who had not taken it seriously at first, suddenly looked at Mr. Du anxiously.
They had never seen Master Du so angry.
But as for inviting their parents to school, even though they had never invited them before, they inexplicably felt that they would not have a good New Year.
"Okay, the test papers have been distributed. The school is on holiday starting today. But don't slack off when you get back. This is the homework you need to complete during this holiday. Sun Hai, pass these out."
I saw Master Du take out another stack of papers.
As the monitor of the first enlightenment class, Sun Hai is already very skilled in doing these things.
After taking the paper, he immediately gave one to each person.
When the students took it and looked at it, they felt like the sky was falling.
"What? I need to copy the final exam paper three times?"
"Do you have to copy the Analects three times?"
"And this, during the holidays, I'm supposed to teach my parents and elders the following fifty characters and their names? Oh my god, there are thirty or forty aunts and uncles in my family. How am I supposed to teach them?"
"Is everything okay? I also teach my parents to read on a daily basis, and they have already learned a lot of words. Let me take a look, and wow, many of them are required by this."
"Hehe, it's the same at my house. I even taught my parents how to write their own names. This homework is not difficult for me!"
Some were happy and some were worried. Everyone held the winter vacation homework list and started discussing it.
Master Du knocked on the table and said, "Alright, if you have anything to say, we can talk about it when we get back. Now clean up the school and you can go home."
"Sun Hai, take the labor committee and supervise the sanitation of the two schools. Keep the doors and windows closed!"
"yes!"
Children are forgetful. When they hear that they can go home after cleaning up, they get so excited that they forget to ask their parents to sign their report cards and come to school.
When Zhang Laitou returned home, he found that his parents were not at home. He quietly took out his report card.
Looking at the bright red 101 on the test paper, he realized what he was about to face.
"If Dad knew I ranked last in the exam, he would definitely beat me to death."
But the teacher asked them to go to school tomorrow. He couldn't hide it even if he wanted to.
What should I do?
Just when he was very confused, his grandmother came back.
The grandmother was holding a child in her arms. The child looked only three or four years old.
Taohua Village has increased its grain income this year, and with the added bonus of extra income, the children are being well-fed.
"Ballad is back? Why are you back so early today?" Grandma put the child down and let him play by himself.
Zhang Laitou rolled his eyes. "Grandma, we're on vacation now. We won't be back to class until after the New Year."
"But the teacher asked us to go to the academy again tomorrow and bring our families with us. Aren't you busy planting wheat recently? Let me take my uncle with me tomorrow."
That's right, the child just now is Zhang Laitou's uncle. His grandmother gave birth to a child five years ago.
This incident caused a sensation in Taohua Village at that time.
But people in ancient times always believed that having many children means more blessings, and Grandma Zhang was not very old, only fifty years old, so she was fully capable of giving birth to this child.
In this way, the seven-year-old Zhang Laitou now has a year-old uncle!
Grandma Zhang looked at Zhang Laitou with some confusion. She always felt that this child was hiding something from her.
"Isn't this bad? How could your teacher allow you to take a child to school? Did you do something bad?"
Zhang Laitou didn't expect his grandmother to be so clever. He quickly shook his head. "No, it's just a holiday so we can have some fun. We can bring any elder. How about Grandma come with me?"
Grandma Zhang quickly shook her head. "I'm busy, how can I have time to play with you?"
She thought about it and realized that it was indeed difficult to work with a child. He would feel cold, hot, and hungry at times.
If Zhang Laitou could take her old son away, not only would her life be more relaxed, but she would also be able to do more farm work.
Moreover, the school is in the village, so no accidents will happen.
"Okay, then take your uncle out to play tomorrow. You have to keep an eye on him and don't let others bully him!"
"Okay, okay, don't worry, grandma. I promise to take good care of my uncle!"
