Chapter 553 Sugar-Coated Bullet
On July 7, the national college entrance examination once again arrived in China.
After ten years of hard work, the sword is finally sharpened and tested today. After ten years of hard study, millions of candidates finally ushered in the most intense battle.
The college entrance examination is a screening system. Among millions of people, only the strongest ones will be selected. At this moment, everyone is an opponent and there is no trace of friendship.
In Qingshui County No. 2 Middle School, almost no one was talking in the huge campus. Only the invigilator occasionally reminded students how much time was left until the end of the exam.
Principal Chang put his hands behind his back and walked slowly around the school's new teaching building again and again.
This teaching building was newly completed last year and is used as classrooms for the college entrance examination this year. There are fans in every classroom and the conditions are among the best in the entire Qingshui County.
But there is no fan outside.
The July sun was scorching. Others either squatted under the shade of trees or hid under electric fans. But Principal Chang was like a slow-witted old ox, dragging his feet and moving forward step by step.
Only when passing by the window of a classroom on the first floor would Principal Chang stop and look through the window at a little girl inside.
[Alas, whether you can do well this year depends on you, my daughter. ]
This little girl was a good student. Her scores in the high school entrance examination were among the top five in the county. She was a top student that the county’s No. 1 Middle School had long been eyeing, but this girl stubbornly chose the county’s No. 2 Middle School in the end.
In Qingshui County, the highest teaching level is still in County No. 1 Middle School.
Although the No. 2 County Middle School made a breakthrough in 1982 and was admitted to eight national key universities at one time, in 1983 and 1984, it fell back to being the "solid second place".
So the director of the No. 1 Middle School in the county said to the people of the No. 2 Middle School in Yinyang County that the No. 2 Middle School in the county used unfair competition methods,
But later the girl said directly that it was because the county No. 1 Middle School had rejected her brother, so the girl held a grudge.
[I would never go to the county's No. 1 middle school.]
Her brother is Li Ye, the provincial top scholar in 1982, and she is his sister, Li Juan.
After Li Juan arrived at the County No. 2 Middle School, Principal Chang arranged various special classes for her and strictly instructed the class teacher to take care of her at a designated location.
If any ignorant little hooligans dared to disturb her studies, he would be taken to the principal's office and punished without asking any questions.
Little Li Juan is indeed very hardworking. She has always been the top student in the school and is also a strong contender for the top spot in the county. Whether the County No. 2 Middle School can hold its head high in front of the County No. 1 Middle School this year really depends on this little girl.
Before the exam, several of Li Juan's teachers told Principal Chang that the child was very nervous recently. Although it is normal to be nervous before an exam, Principal Chang was very worried.
But now seeing that Li Juan's face is calm and she writes calmly, there shouldn't be any big problem.
A teacher's confidence comes from his students' performance.
Think about how glorious the County No. 2 Middle School was after the 1982 college entrance examination! The report on the teaching building was immediately approved, all thanks to Li Ye's class of candidates.
Principal Chang smiled with satisfaction, turned around and was about to walk around. When he turned around, he suddenly saw the direction of the school gate and it seemed that something had happened.
Looking from afar, the gatekeeper, Old Liu, was sticking his neck out and pointing at someone, obviously having an argument with that person.
Principal Chang, who was in his fifties, suddenly rushed forward like a mad ox, with his eyes wide open and his tail sticking up, mooing angrily as he walked.
"I want to see who dares to cause trouble?"
"Who gave you the guts to affect the children's exams???"
There is no such thing as parents accompanying their children to take exams these days, so Principal Chang subconsciously thought that someone was making trouble.
However, when Principal Chang came closer and saw clearly who was arguing with Old Liu, the anger on his face immediately turned into joy.
"What are you yelling about? I'm talking to you, Lao Liu. Why are you so loud? If you disturb the students' exams, I'll punish you."
“.”
Old Liu, who was suddenly scolded, said aggrievedly: "Principal, it was Li Ye who disturbed the students' exams. I followed your instructions and didn't let him stay at the school gate. He wouldn't leave no matter how hard we tried."
Principal Chang blinked and was about to find a reason for Li Ye to avoid his instructions, but Li Ye spoke unhappily.
"I parked my car under the shade of the tree and didn't honk or ask to enter the school, but Old Liu insisted on driving me away. I thought the road in front of the gate didn't belong to you, so I argued with him."
"No, no, you didn't honk the horn, but your car makes a buzzing sound every now and then. How can it not affect the students' exams?"
Li Ye was so angry that he laughed. Although the air-conditioning compressor of Santana was a bit noisy, it was nearly a hundred meters away from the school teaching building. How could it possibly reach the ears of the examinees?
"Old Liu, tell me honestly, how could this sound be heard in the teaching building?"
"Then I don't care. The principal said that no one can linger at the school gate to prevent the students from taking the college entrance exam. Even if the lawsuit is brought to the county, I am still in the right."
The grudge between Li Ye and Old Liu started four years ago. Old Liu will probably remember the footprint Jin Peng left on his butt for the rest of his life.
People live by their breath, and trees live by their skin, but as the Li family becomes more and more powerful as a local wealthy family in Qingshui County, Old Liu's chances of "revenge" are naturally becoming slimmer and slimmer.
Now that he suddenly has a reason that is 100% reasonable, how can Old Liu not vent his anger?
How big of a deal is the college entrance exam? Do you dare to influence it? Won't so many parents spit at you?
Your Li family is powerful, but I am right! If you are right, you will be successful. I will not let you stay at the door today.
"Buzz~"
Santana's compressor just happened to start up, making a low-frequency humming sound.
"Tsk~"
Principal Chang sighed and suddenly said, "This is indeed a big noise."
Li Ye was a little speechless, but if he put himself in Principal Chang's shoes, he would probably find it too noisy even if a fly flew over.
Old Liu was so excited that he almost cried. It was so satisfying.
But Principal Chang immediately asked Li Ye with a smile: "You came to school suddenly, did you want to see your sister?"
Li Ye nodded and said, "Yes! I was thinking that after I finish this exam, I will go in and give my sister some soda. When I took the college entrance examination, she was waiting at the school gate and gave me soda during the breaks."
Principal Chang glared at him and said, "You're delivering soda. Then why are you squatting at the door? Why don't you just go in? Who dares to stop you?"
Li Ye: “.”
Old Liu: “.”
"What are you still standing there for? Where's the soda?"
"Here it is! In the trunk of the car."
"My goodness, you haven't even graduated yet, but you already have a car. I've devoted most of my life to this, but I don't even have a motorcycle."
While complaining, Principal Chang followed Li Ye to open the trunk of the Santana and saw that it was full of Pengcheng Red Bull and orange soda.
Li Ye had just picked up a box of Red Bull and a pack of soda when he heard Principal Chang say, "Come here, I'll help you get it."
Li Ye hurriedly said: "No, no, I can get it myself."
"Why are you being so polite to me?"
Principal Chang laughed, bent down, took out three boxes of Pengcheng Red Bull from the trunk, and walked into the school.
Then he turned back and urged Li Ye: "Hurry up! What's wrong? Can't you walk after carrying such a small amount of things?"
[Am I unable to walk? Good fellow, you really are not polite to me! ]
"Hehe, it's not that I can't carry it, Principal Chang. The drinks in the trunk are all for the students in the school. There's no way the two of us can carry it!"
“.”
Principal Chang stopped and turned back a second later and put the three boxes of Pengcheng Red Bull back into the trunk.
"Drive, drive in, but don't let it sound once you're in! It's a big deal if it affects students' exams."
"Okay, Principal, please get in the car."
Li Ye put the things in his hand into the trunk, opened the door and let Principal Chang get in.
The gatekeeper, Old Liu, opened his mouth but couldn't say anything. He just cursed in his heart, "Damn capitalists, damn sugar-coated bullets."
But Old Liu didn't say anything, so Principal Chang scolded him, "Why don't you open the door quickly? What are you still standing there for? Can't you see that they are here to bring you warmth?"
"Wow, how come this car is so cool? Great, I was wondering why you had to park the car right outside the door! Well, you really know how to enjoy yourself."
"Hey, Old Liu, keep an eye on the gate! No strangers are allowed to approach."
“.”
Old Liu, who was holding the gate, was completely speechless.
[My special brew is fucked. ]
. . . . . . . . .
Principal Chang is very self-disciplined. Although he really enjoys the feeling of air conditioning on hot days, he still turns off the engine and gets out of the car immediately after the Santana drives into the school, not allowing any unnecessary noise to be made.
Ten minutes later, the sudden ringing of the electric bell broke the silence of the school, just like under the long-suppressed dark clouds, suddenly fell the big raindrops, and the sound of the rain became noisy.
"Ring, ring, ring~~"
"How come it's time already? Wasn't there still half an hour left?"
"The teacher just said there were still five minutes left, didn't you hear me?"
"Who is talking? No talking to each other is allowed. Anyone who talks again will be disqualified from the exam immediately!!!"
“You are not allowed to stay in the examination room, and you are not allowed to leave any papers or items behind.”
“.”
After a flurry of activity, the candidates came out to use the toilet and then found a place to rest.
Some candidates also take advantage of the limited rest time between two courses to cram for the exam, hoping to get lucky.
Li Juan calmly walked out of the examination room and was immediately surrounded by several classmates.
"Li Juan, did you do the last question? What's the answer?"
"Is the answer to the first question of the second question three and one-half?"
"The teacher said that we are not allowed to check answers. It affects our mentality."
"I'm so anxious, but I still don't have the right attitude. Hey, Li Juan, where are you going?"
Li Juan suddenly pushed everyone away and ran towards Li Ye outside the crowd. Her calm little face suddenly brightened up.
"Brother, when did you come back? How did you get in?"
"Oh, one can is enough for me, I don't need that much."
Li Juan excitedly took the drink brought by Li Ye. She was so happy that she seemed like a different person. The nervousness she had felt over the past few days naturally disappeared in an instant.
