Chapter 50 Who will make it into the top ten?
"This girl is a little skinny! Her butt is small too, so it's hard for her to give birth."
"Hiss, what kind of vision do you have, old woman? This girl has an upright body and walks with a breeze. She looks weak but is actually very strong, just like our medical worker back then. This kind of tenacity is much more difficult to find than giving birth to a child."
"Health worker? What health worker? Why haven't I heard you mention it before?"
"I haven't seen you for decades. What can I tell you?"
"My goodness, Li Zhongfa, you still remember her tenacity after not seeing her for decades? You must explain it to me when you go back tonight, or you can try it yourself."
"Hey, he saved my life, how can I forget him forever? What are you thinking about?"
Wen Leyu had already entered the school, but she had no idea that two kind old men at the school gate were looking at her from behind and commenting on her, and even brought up an old grudge.
Li Zhongfa had been a leader for several years and was also good at Tai Chi, so he immediately changed the subject.
"It doesn't matter what this girl is like, as long as our Xiaoye is happy, haven't you noticed Xiaoye's recent changes? She looks much better than before."
Grandma Wu Juying snorted and did not pursue the matter of the nurse any further. Instead, she sighed softly and looked a little worried.
"I also think Xiaoye has changed, but this girl is from another place. What if she flies away like Lu Jingyao one day?"
"Where can she fly to?" Li Zhongfa glared, "Our Xiaoye will be a famous writer soon. If she gets admitted to university next year, she can be seduced back even if she flies abroad. Do you believe it?"
"That's true," Li's grandmother nodded and said, "Look at our Xiaoye's appearance, you can pick one from anywhere in the country.
But it would be great if he could just get into college. Scarcity makes things valuable. Let me tell you that you shouldn't be doing these things. Why are you helping so many outsiders?"
"You know that things are valuable because they are rare? Then do you know that brothers who are united can break any obstacle?"
Li Zhongfa rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "If it weren't for us brothers working together to take care of each other, I would have died a long time ago. When Xiaoye leaves Qingshui County, won't he still rely on friends? On classmates?"
Grandma Li tilted her head, looked at Li Zhongfa, and said darkly: "You are still alive, aren't you because of that medical worker? Didn't you ever think of repaying him with your body for saving your life?"
“.”
Li Zhongfa felt a little uneasy. How could this woman's intuition be so sharp?
. . .
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, more than a month has passed since Li Ye, Hu Man and others went out for self-study.
The school did not pay much attention to the behavior of Li Ye and others, and the trouble that Li Ye was worried about did not occur.
On the contrary, because of the departure of Li Ye and others, the repeater class returned to its former tranquility, which made Teacher Luo and others feel relieved.
There is no more fighting or quarreling in the classroom, only the sound of reading aloud. All 52 students are concentrating on their studies, enjoying the learning environment that is hard to come by in this era.
[This is what a repeater should look like! ]
Teacher Luo also expressed his relief. He recalled the bad feeling more than a month ago and regretted pushing Hu Man to the position of class monitor in the democratic election.
More than a month of chaos has affected the students' learning rhythm. I don't know if those top students will score a few points lower in next year's college entrance examination.
Nowadays, if a top student loses a few points in the exam, it can make a teacher heartbroken.
Fortunately, the confrontation some time ago seemed to have stimulated the desire to study in Xia Yue and others. Looking at Xia Yue and Hu Man who were studying hard in the classroom, Teacher Luo had the expectation that "a blessing in disguise".
But what Mr. Luo never expected was that the repeater class had split into two completely different groups. They were like two trains running into a forked track, going further and further away.
The majority of students, with Xia Yue and Jin Shengli as the core, were like an old but ambitious steam locomotive, spewing thick smoke and struggling to climb the hill.
However, Li Ye's small group of eight people cut into the electric track, accelerating silently, accelerating, and accelerating again.
Li Ye and others left school at five in the afternoon and had dinner at six. While Jiang Xiaoyan was cooking, Hu Man and others had already started copying and doing exercises.
After lunch at 6:30, until 10:30, for a full four hours, Hu Man and the others were pressed by Li Ye in the sea of questions, struggling and choking on water.
So much so that after they returned to the dormitory, their minds were still full of test questions, test questions, and test questions.
After they leave, Li Ye will decide the scope and difficulty of the next day's test questions based on the situation that night.
With the help of the "biological hard drive" in his mind, Li Ye gradually instilled the examination papers from his previous life, from the middle school entrance examination to the college entrance examination, from easy to difficult, into Hu Man and others.
If Hu Man and others can do it, then this type of question will be directly PASSed. If none of them can do it, we will continue tomorrow and focus on explaining it.
When it is time for classes in the daytime, Hu Man and others will concentrate on reciting and mastering the knowledge that requires rote memorization.
There was no "examination syllabus" in the 1980s, and a large number of college entrance examination questions were memorization questions, which was truly the "more points by memorizing" method. This was also the specialty of repeater classes that were scrambling for the college entrance examination.
Excellent students like Hu Man and Xia Yue already have a solid foundation for recitation, leaving those middle and lower students behind.
The "special training" that Li Ye gave them at night was to improve their fighting skills to a higher level, to help them to compete with other heroes in the Huashan Sword Contest.
Now, there are many times when the teacher is explaining a question, and Hu Man and others look up and see -
I will do this question.
I have seen this question,
Is this question so simple?
After doing this many times in a row, Hu Man and others simply stopped looking at it and put all their energy into memorizing it.
Anyway, Li Ye will help them screen and finish them in the evening. Even if they miss any questions, Li Ye will cover it for them.
As the winter vacation was approaching, Teacher Luo suddenly announced an unexpected news in class.
"For this semester's final exam, we and the county's No. 1 Middle School jointly set the questions. The same test paper will also be used for graduating classes and repeat classes across the county,"
"You must take this seriously and give it your all. Don't bring shame to our County No. 2 Middle School."
The students in the class were in an uproar, and a tense atmosphere quickly spread throughout the school.
For ordinary students, the county-wide joint examination may not seem like a big deal, as it is just an ordinary final exam.
However, for students in the repeater class who have experienced the college entrance examination, their psychological feelings are completely different.
This is a rehearsal before the college entrance examination. Only a few students can pass the exam every year in the entire county. If you cannot get a very high score in the county joint examination, it means that your hope of being admitted to university is extremely slim.
However, compared to the nervousness of some people, Hu Man and others in the small group of eight were ready to test their own weight in this exam.
"Do you think we can get into the top few this time?"
"I don't know if it compares with the No. 1 Middle School in the county, but if it compares with our class, can it be in the top ten?"
"Yeah, top ten."
Hu Man narrowed her eyes, but in fact her words were not what she meant.
Her goal this time is not to be in the top ten in the class, but to compete with Xia Yue and Jin Shengli, the top two students in the grade.
Hu Man did not perform well in the college entrance examination last year. When the classes were divided for her to repeat the year, she was assigned to Class 2. She was a little dissatisfied at the beginning.
After joining the class, he was angry with Xia Yue again. Now that he has the chance, he must secretly fight with Xia Yue and compete with her.
But just after they said a few words, Li Ye, who was directing Jiang Xiaoyan to cook, turned his head and asked, "Who said we have to be in the top ten?"
Hu Man blinked, feeling something was wrong, and then heard Li Ye say loudly: "No one is allowed to get into the top ten."
“.”
Everyone was dumbfounded. You learned a skill but are not allowed to perform for money. What are you trying to do, Li Ye?
Li Ye walked over seriously and wrote two big Chinese characters on the small blackboard.
"From today on, you all have to learn a skill - score control!"
"Before the college entrance examination, all the exams you take must not attract other people's attention, and your class ranking can only fall behind, not ahead."
“.”
Han Xia was impatient and objected immediately, "Why? Why can't we score higher than Xia Yue?"
But Hu Man held Han Xia back, she had already vaguely understood what Li Ye meant.
"Li Ye, are you doing this to keep it a secret and to avoid trouble?"
"Yes, it's to keep it secret."
Li Ye explained: "If your grades suddenly change drastically, the teacher will not sit idly by. How will you keep it a secret then?"
"Once our secret is out, I can ignore Mr. Luo if he comes to me for questions, but what about Principal Chang? What about someone even more difficult to deal with?"
This is the reason why Li Ye tried every possible means, even at the cost of suffering, to separate himself from the repeater class.
Compared with later generations, the 1980s was more of a "society of human relationships". If the performance of Hu Man and others improved significantly, believe it or not, someone would use their connections to get to Li Ye's grandfather that night.
Li Ye said solemnly: "My ability is limited, the most I can do is take care of you guys.
If more people join in, I won't have the time or energy to adjust the test questions according to their different situations.
I will no longer give you individual explanations on the questions, and your college entrance examination scores will inevitably be affected. Are you willing to do that?"
Hu Man, Han Xia and others kept their mouths shut and no one spoke.
But in their hearts, they all had the same thought: "If anyone dares to affect my college entrance examination score, I will tear him apart alive."
Li Ye smiled proudly and said, "Now, who else wants to be in the top ten?"
But Jiang Xiaoyan, who was holding the spatula, raised her hand timidly.
“I want to be in the top ten.”
