Chapter 51 What kind of students are these?
The County No. 2 Middle School attached much more importance to the final exam at the end of 1981 than Li Ye had imagined.
Not only did the county's No. 1 and No. 2 middle schools jointly set the questions, the invigilators were also jointly supervised by the No. 1 and No. 2 middle schools, and even the examination rooms were swapped.
The repeater class of County No. 2 Middle School goes to County No. 1 Middle School for exams, and the students of County No. 1 Middle School come to County No. 2 Middle School for exams.
Even the examination papers were printed collectively and then sealed in bags to be opened in class.
It is said that this was a "smart suggestion" from a teacher at the county's No. 1 Middle School.
Because in previous years, students from No. 1 and No. 2 Middle Schools had performed poorly due to psychological reasons, so we tried to simulate the serious atmosphere of the college entrance examination as much as possible, which would help strengthen students' psychological endurance.
Because it is too troublesome, the classes are not disrupted and each student is assigned a separate desk like the college entrance examination.
Li Ye is not sure how effective this approach will be, but today's students' ability to adjust psychologically is indeed average.
As soon as the papers were handed out, Li Ye noticed that several students had sweat on their foreheads and the pens in their hands were trembling slightly.
[Innocent children, have never experienced the beatings of society! Back then, I knelt down 23 times in a row, and my fingers were as steady as an old dog.]
Li Ye spread out the test paper and drew the pen across the paper. Precise traces intertwined into the correct answer, calm and steady like an old man.
The first test today was mathematics. Li Ye didn't need to use his brain for the easy questions at the beginning, and he finished them in a daze.
When he turned over the second paper, the invigilator came down from the podium and walked along the aisle behind Li Ye.
Li Ye looked back at him, then silently lowered his head to do his homework, without any intention of paying any attention to him.
More than two months later, Li Ye unexpectedly met Director Yao of the county's No. 1 Middle School again.
. . . .
Director Yao was the main person in charge of this county-wide joint examination. Normally, he should have stayed in the office to take charge, but he did it himself and acted as an invigilator.
When the examination room was being assigned, Director Yao "happened" to be assigned to the fast class of the County No. 2 Middle School - repeater class one.
Director Yao was also a little surprised when he saw Li Ye.
He remembered Li Ye's academic performance, which did not meet the standard for ordinary repeaters in the county's No. 1 Middle School.
If someone of Li Ye's level can get into the fast-track repeater class of the County No. 2 Middle School, then one can see the level of the students in the County No. 2 Middle School.
When the exam started, Director Yao's eagle-like sharp eyes scanned the students over and over again.
Director Yao came here today not only to catch cheating, but also to inspect the top students in the county’s No. 2 Middle School.
Director Yao’s method of assessment is also very simple. There are three papers in one exam. Whoever finishes the first paper first will be the focus of assessment.
[Is it the one called Jin Shengli? Or the one called Xia Yue? ]
Director Yao had done his homework in advance, and there were students in the county's No. 1 Middle School who knew Xia Yue and Jin Shengli, so both of them were students selected by Director Yao.
But no matter how much he guessed, he could not have guessed that it was Li Ye, the "poor student", who was the first to finish the first paper, and at an incredibly fast speed.
Director Yao is a math teacher, and he knows very well the difficulty of this question.
[At this speed, even copying can't be this fast, right? He doesn't know how to do it, so he left it all blank? ]
Director Yao couldn't suppress the doubts in his heart and walked quickly behind Li Ye.
As a result, he saw Li Ye working on the second paper at an incredible speed.
Even if you just copy the answers, it won’t be much faster than this.
Director Yao’s first reaction was that the exam questions had been leaked.
But he immediately rejected the idea.
It's just a final exam, not the college entrance examination. Who would be stupid enough to go through the trouble of stealing questions?
Not worth it.
[Could it be that I have misjudged this guy? Is he a genius? ]
Director Yao stood behind Li Ye, watching him fill in the answers one by one and solve the questions one by one.
Correct, correct, and damn correct.
Seeing that Li Ye was about to finish the second paper, Director Yao suddenly felt extremely regretful.
[This kid, is he trying to get a perfect score? Why did I reject such a student? ]
But the next moment, Li Ye's pen, which had been moving smoothly on the paper, stopped.
Then he turned the first paper back and began to stare at the easy questions on it.
Look left, look right, look forward, look back.
After reading the first paper, look at the second paper.
Director Yao was confused and finally couldn't help asking, "Why don't you hurry up and do the questions? What are you looking at?"
Li Ye said coldly: "I'm checking the answers."
Director Yao was stunned, and said through gritted teeth: "There are still so many big questions to be answered, what answers are you checking?"
Li Ye answered immediately: "I won't do the latter."
“.”
Director Yao's eyes went dark and he almost spat out a mouthful of yellow water on Li Ye.
[If you can't do it, then you won't do it. Why are you answering so confidently? 】
Director Yao shook his head and left angrily, but after a while, he came back.
Because Wen Leyu was the second person in the class to finish the second paper.
Director Yao looked at Wen Leyu's answer and took it seriously. This girl's level is top-notch even among the No. 1 Middle School in the county.
But when it came to the big questions at the end, Director Yao couldn't understand them again.
Wen Leyu didn’t say “I can’t do it” directly, but she scribbled on the draft paper, making it a mess like a ghost’s scribbles.
After a long time, Director Yao suddenly understood.
These scribbles are the numbers and symbols that Wen Leyu uses to help with mental arithmetic.
Wen Leyu didn't write down any math formulas on the manuscript paper. She would never write down anything she could do in her head. For a problem with four or five steps to solve, she might have only written down half of them.
But the final answers are all correct.
"Ahem~"
Li Ye coughed lightly, and Wen Leyu immediately followed suit, stopping and starting to check the previous answers.
Director Yao said anxiously: "This girl, you haven't finished yet!"
Wen Leyu coldly spat out three words: "I can't do it."
Director Yao: “.”
[What kind of students does the County No. 2 Middle School accept? ]
Compared to Li Ye and Wen Leyu who “can’t do it”, many students in the examination room “really can’t do it”.
The test questions this time are quite difficult.
Even Xia Yue and Jin Shengli found it very difficult, not to mention those students who were already average in academic performance.
However, the members of the small group of eight were relatively relaxed.
Hu Man, Li Dayong and others do not have the ability of Li Ye and Wen Leyu, but they can answer most of the memorized questions, and they can either do the big questions at the end or find the correct solution after thinking about them.
But except for Jiang Xiaoyan, they all just did the calculations on scratch paper, and either left the big questions at the back blank or just wrote whatever they wanted.
Score control skills are beginning to show their edge.
. . .
Jiang Xiaoyan tilted her head quietly and looked at Jin Shengli in front of her left.
Seeing that he was already working on the third-to-last question, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and quickly copied the steps and answers on the draft paper onto the fourth-to-last question on the test paper.
After Li Ye explained the importance of "score control" that day, only Jiang Xiaoyan raised her hand against the trend and expressed her desire to be in the top ten.
At that time, she lowered her head, waiting for Li Ye's scolding.
But Li Ye just looked at Jiang Xiaoyan for a long time, and agreed lightly, only asking her to be careful when the time comes, not to get too many points, and it would be best if she could just barely squeeze into the top ten.
Jiang Xiaoyan was very touched and thanked Li Ye for not questioning her and leaving her a little dignity.
In fact, Jiang Xiaoyan’s road to repeating her studies was very bumpy, and her grandparents at home strongly opposed her continuing to repeat her studies.
Because the cost for repeaters is more than 100 yuan a year, and 50 or 60 yuan for a semester.
"Why would a little girl spend this much money? Won't you just pay it back to the owner later?"
My father is an honest man who can do nothing. If my mother hadn't been strong and tough and borrowed 30 yuan from my grandmother, I wouldn't have been able to raise enough money for Jiang Xiaoyan's schooling.
But thirty yuan of foreign debt is ultimately a thorn in the side of a family that makes a living from scratch.
The last time she went home to carry food, her grandfather gave Jiang Xiaoyan an ultimatum.
"If you don't rank in the top ten in the school this semester, don't go to school next year. Save the money for Hu Zi to repeat the year next year."
Jiang Xiaoyan cried all night and left before dawn the next day with food on her back.
Hu Zi is her younger brother. He has repeated junior high school for two years and couldn't even get into high school. Why did she let him repeat his studies continuously instead of supporting herself, a high school student?
Is it just because Hu Zi has a penis?
Two months ago, Jiang Xiaoyan would never have dared to dream of being in the top ten. Her results would have barely ranked in the top twenty.
But by then she had already come into contact with Li Ye's small group, and her grades were steadily improving, so she gained the confidence to continue her studies.
This is also one of the important reasons why Jiang Xiaoyan has always stood by Li Ye during the conflict some time ago.
No one else can give her what Li Ye gives her.
Because that is the destiny of freedom.
So this time Jiang Xiaoyan made up her mind to strictly follow Li Ye's orders and score a little lower than Jin Shengli in every subject, so she should be able to safely rank between fifth and tenth.
However, she could only see which questions Jin Shengli had not answered, but she could not be sure whether Jin Shengli had answered them correctly, so she was still very anxious.
【It would be nice if I could see it more clearly. 】
Jiang Xiaoyan stretched her neck again, but heard an angry shout.
"Do your own test. If you do it again, it will be treated as cheating."
Jiang Xiaoyan panicked and quickly retracted her head.
Thanks to the book friend "20230515082209986" for the reward, thanks to the book friend "Son of the Wind 23" for the reward, thank you.
In addition, Lao Feng would like to explain to the book lovers the issue of updating the new book period.
In fact, if you pay attention to the new books published at the same time as Lao Feng, you will find that most of them update 4000+ or 5000+ words every day.
As for Lao Feng, the average is now 7,000 words.
This is not because the authors are lazy or stingy. It is because of the restrictions of the "New Book List", which are "within 30 days of the contract, and the word count does not exceed 200,000 words." If one of the requirements is not met, the work will be immediately removed from the New Book List.
The new book list is an important exposure channel for writers like us who compete with each other. If it is taken off the shelves in advance, it will be very disadvantageous in the competition process.
In fact, Lao Feng calculated that if I update for two or three more days in the next few days, it will definitely shorten the 30-day exposure period, but Lao Feng still decided to update for a few more days.
But if the book continues to be updated, it will be difficult for it to advance.
So please forgive me, I promise that the average updated word count will not be less than 6,000, I hope you understand.
