Chapter 70 Did you arrange everything for me clearly?
On the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, the repeater class of the County No. 2 Middle School started.
Three things happened on the first day of school.
The first thing is that the school announced the subjects of this year's college entrance examination and the corresponding scores.
Since 1977, the total score of the test questions has been changing every year. The total score of the college entrance examination in 1982 is different from that in 1981.
This year, the total score of Mathematics is 120 points because there is an extra 20 points for the test questions. The scores of Politics, Chinese, Physics and Chemistry are 100 points each.
The English score, which was only 50% of the paper score last year, has been increased to 70%, that is, the total score is 70 points, and the biology score has also been increased to 50 points.
Calculated in this way, the total score of this year's college entrance examination will be 640 points.
This is absolutely good news for several students who have good English grades.
After all, in this era of "dumb English", everyone's English scores vary greatly. A difference of several tens of points is enough to create a gap of several levels.
The second thing was that Hu Man, the monitor of repeater class 1, took the initiative to stop serving as monitor of class 1, citing "lack of energy" as the reason.
This is not because Hu Man is timid, but since she followed Li Ye to study outside the school, many things that the class monitor should do have become inconvenient.
And Xia Yue would naturally intervene. Instead of wasting energy on quarreling, it would be better to just let it go.
The third thing was that Jiang Xiaoyan’s grandfather and mother suddenly came to the school and wanted to transfer Jiang Xiaoyan to another school.
Li Ye was also very surprised when he learned about this.
Because if Jiang Xiaoyan was snatched away by the county's No. 1 Middle School, he could understand it, but the school Jiang Xiaoyan wanted to transfer to was actually Binhe Township Middle School.
Many students gathered outside the door of the teaching office, listening carefully to the conversations coming from inside from time to time, but because there was a cotton curtain hanging at the door, they could not hear clearly.
"Director Tang, my family really can't afford the tuition. Riverside Middle School not only doesn't charge tuition, but also offers scholarships."
"A little girl, my family has supported her to study for ten years, she was not allowed to do any work, and she was well fed and served. If you don't believe me, just look at her rosy face, but a penny can make a hero fail, right?"
In the teaching department, an old man with a rough and dark face kept complaining to Tang Feiyu.
Tang Feiyu's cheek twitched, and he suppressed his temper with great self-control, so as not to spit in the old man's face.
He is the director of studies at the No. 2 Middle School in the county. It would be an exaggeration to say that he knows the situation of every student in the school, but how could he not know about a special student like Jiang Xiaoyan?
He knew very well how difficult Jiang Xiaoyan's daily life was. Tang Feiyu had seen the scene of eating a steamed bun with cold water many times.
We are well served with delicious food and drinks, but you are so shameless and have the nerve to say such arrogant things?
Teacher Luo has already explained the reason why Jiang Xiaoyan has such a rosy complexion. It is because of the special meal she received from Li Ye. Are you trying to make yourself look good, old man?
It was Jiang Xiaoyan's mother who kept asking Director Jin how likely it was that Jiang Xiaoyan would be admitted this year, and how big the difference was in the teaching quality between the County No. 2 Middle School and Riverside Middle School.
Director Jin said clearly: "The teaching level of our County No. 2 Middle School is definitely higher than that of Hebin Township Middle School.
If you transfer Jiang Xiaoyan to a rural school now, it will affect her college entrance examination results if she cannot adapt to the change of environment.
The child has been in school for ten years, and her future cannot be ruined because of this last bit of carelessness!"
The old man was a little anxious: "Why are you asking these questions? The scholarship has already been given to our family, can I return it? Besides, I am Xiaoyan's grandfather, how can I harm her?"
Jiang Xiaoyan's mother was not a pushover either: "Let me ask you what's wrong. Have you ever taken care of this child in all these years? Now you're acting like a grandfather?"
“.”
The two people quarreled without any scruples, not caring about the embarrassment of Tang Feiyu and Jiang Xiaoyan who lowered her head.
At this moment, Jiang Xiaoyan's heart was filled with bitterness and her body and mind were desolate.
We had agreed before the New Year that if I got the first place in the exam, my family would support me to repeat my studies.
But when school started, I was still twenty dollars short of the tuition for repeating the grade.
A'niang went to her grandmother's house to borrow money again, but returned empty-handed.
Just at this time, the local middle school somehow heard that Jiang Xiaoyan had performed very well in the joint entrance examination last year. Upon checking, it turned out that she was ranked fifth in the county.
So these things happened later.
Jiang Xiaoyan also knew that the main reason that moved her grandfather to swallow his pride and let her transfer to another school was not because of the free tuition and scholarship.
Instead, Hebin Township Middle School agreed to transfer my younger brother Jiang Xiaoqiang to the fast-track class in the third grade of junior high school.
But Jiang Xiaoqiang has repeated a grade for two years, so what if he has entered the fast track class?
There are no repeater classes in junior high schools. Repeaters attend classes with third-year students. The fast-track class is the best class in a middle school.
Maybe my family thinks that if I enter the fast-track class, I will be able to get into high school!
When you graduate from high school, even if you don't get into college, your family might be able to arrange a job for you if they work hard, and you'll have someone to rely on for the rest of your life.
But when all this was being arranged, who except A Niang considered Jiang Xiaoyan?
In the past few months, Jiang Xiaoyan's academic performance has improved dramatically. With special meals provided for her every day, she feels that her spring has finally come.
Li Ye even promised them that in a few months, they would take the train to go to college together.
She and Hu Man and others are already imagining what their future college life will be like.
But why did time go back and return to winter in the blink of an eye?
Big tears fell to the ground, who could see it? Who cared?
. . . . . .
The quarrel in the teaching department reached Li Ye's ears outside.
He keenly felt that his mother, who had always supported Jiang Xiaoyan in repeating her studies, was no longer able to support herself.
The school is definitely unwilling to allow Jiang Xiaoyan to transfer schools. Just look at the school's attitude towards Jin Shengli and Xia Yue.
If we say that teachers in later generations only like students who are good at studying.
Today's schools really "favor" top students.
It can be said that top students like Xia Yue and Jin Shengli have real privileges in school. As long as they do not cause public outrage, the school will do everything possible to protect them.
Otherwise, given Li Ye's identity and background, how could Xia Yue and Jin Shengli dare to jump around in front of him?
The school needs Director Li’s food connection, but the school also needs top students like Xia Yue and Jin Shengli. Otherwise, if they take the college entrance examination every year, they will have to shave their heads and won’t be able to sit in the principal’s chair!
But despite partiality, Jiang Xiaoyan did show her own value.
But once real money is involved, the process becomes too complicated and troublesome.
Jiang Xiaoyan is not a fresh graduate, she is a repeater. How can the tuition fee of a repeater be reduced or exempted at will?
Schools are not a place where money is flowing out these days. Teachers have very few benefits, and they may even owe wages to non-staff teachers! Expenses of a few dozen dollars may require a discussion at a meeting.
Li Ye turned around silently, walked away quietly, and knocked on the door of the principal's office.
"Come in."
Principal Chang was not surprised at all when he saw that it was Li Ye who came in.
It's so lively outside, it's no wonder that they came here just for Jiang Xiaoyan.
But schools also have their own difficulties.
If you want to reduce or waive tuition fees, there must be a reason, right?
Jiang Xiaoyan's family is in financial difficulty, but other families are not. If Jiang Xiaoyan's tuition is waived today, and tomorrow all the parents who hear the news come to make trouble, what should we do?
Jiang Xiaoyan is a good student, but she only got first place once. She is different from Xia Yue and Jin Shengli who always get first or second place.
If Jiang Xiaoyan's tuition is waived, should Xia Yue and the others also have their tuition waived?
A good cook cannot cook without rice!
But Li Ye's next move surprised Principal Chang.
Without saying anything, he took out thirty yuan from his pocket and put it on Principal Chang's desk.
"I know the school has its own financial system and it is not convenient to reduce or exempt Jiang Xiaoyan's repeat tuition. She only ranked first once last year, not every time,"
"I also know that many students in the school have family difficulties. If the school opens this loophole, there will be a lot of trouble and it will affect the school's teaching order."
"So I paid for it, but I couldn't pay it in my own name, because that would hurt Jiang Xiaoyan's self-esteem, make her feel guilty and inferior, and it would probably affect her next college entrance examination.
It is much more convenient to issue it in the name of the school. After all, the school is a place for teaching and educating people. No matter how much care and love are given to students, it will only have a positive impact."
"Principal Chang, you can pay for Jiang Xiaoyan's tuition in the name of the teacher's fundraising donation.
There is no need to go through the school finance department, and there is no need to worry about what other students think. No one would be embarrassed to take money out of the teacher's pocket, right?"
Li Ye finished his words in one breath, and then he saw that Principal Chang's face was not very good.
He slowly stood up from the chair, his eyes wide open, his neck red, like an angry bull, panting heavily.
"We are a bunch of teachers, but we are not as good as a kid like you, right? Huh?"
“.”
"You're the only one who can do this, right? And you even arranged everything for me so clearly? You're quite capable!"
“.”
"You want to be a good person, but you don't want to leave your name?"
“.”
Li Ye swallowed, realizing that he had overlooked the difference in generations.
Among the students of later generations, there are some outstanding ones who dare to have an “equal dialogue” with their teachers.
But these days, you, a student, can make all the arrangements for your teacher.
Do you want to go to heaven?
Are you teaching me how to do things?
Sure enough, Principal Chang opened the door of his office and shouted outside, and seven or eight teachers came in.
Li Ye quickly occupied a corner and made the worst plan.
Although a group fight is unlikely to happen, a group attack is very likely. All I can do is cover my hands and let things take their course.
However, Principal Chang did not attack Li Ye. Instead, he calmly explained the situation to the teachers, suggested that everyone make voluntary donations, and he himself donated five yuan first.
The teachers were silent for a moment, and then began to take out their money one by one. Some took three yuan, some took two, and those who took one yuan felt a little embarrassed.
In 1981, the salary of a private teacher was 18.5 yuan, and that of a regular teacher was only around 30 yuan. With a family to support, every penny counted.
Now, even when donating money for a student, he is not shy about it. This shows his integrity as a poor scholar.
In the end, Principal Chang counted and there were twenty-one in total.
He reached out and took ten yuan from Li Ye's thirty yuan, and slapped it on the donation.
Then he said angrily: "Li Ye, give me ten dollars!"
"well!"
Li Ye quickly agreed, fearing that he would anger the stubborn bull.
Thanks to the book friend "Zui Liu" for the reward, thank you brother!
In addition, tomorrow's update may be a few hours late, please forgive me.
