Chapter 54 Filling
in the application form The days before the high school entrance exam always pass by in a flash.
After the Dragon Boat Festival and eating rice dumplings, the hot summer came.
When the class was about to end on Friday, the head teacher brought a stack of application forms to the students and handed them out, "Fill in the application form this Friday and hand it in to me directly in the office next Monday."
Seeing the lazy look of the students, the head teacher slapped the table with a ruler, "There are still 10 days before the high school entrance exam. If you don't want to continue studying, sleep on the table in class and don't affect other students."
Before leaving, he called Li Wenxi to the office again.
"Come, sit down." Teacher Wang moved a stool to the front and looked at Li Wenxi with a friendly face.
After Li Wenxi sat down, Teacher Wang continued, "I called you here to discuss this volunteering matter with you. Teacher Zhao told me that if you win a prize in the national mathematics competition in April, you may get extra points for the high school entrance examination. Last time, you ranked 58th in the city in the final exam, so you have a chance to be admitted to Ningcheng No. 1 Middle School. Therefore, we suggest that you fill in Ningcheng No. 1 Middle School as your first choice, and fill in our school as your second choice as a backup. What do you think?"
"If I don't get into Ningcheng No. 1 Middle School, will our school still accept me?" Li Wenxi asked.
Teacher Wang smiled and said, "With your grades, it's safe to fill in our school as your second choice."
Li Wenxi understood that Teacher Wang and the others wanted him to give it a try this time.
She was touched: "Thank you, Teacher Wang. I'll fill it out like this." Then she took out a pen and filled in the application form.
Teacher Wang was a little shocked: "Don't you want to discuss it with your parents?"
Li Wenxi paused. She hadn't thought about this yet. "Do you have to discuss it with your parents before filling it out?"
"That's not the case. It's just that yours is a bit special. It's better to discuss it with your parents. But it's best not to tell others that your first choice is Ningcheng No. 1 Middle School. After all, no one in our school has ever been admitted to Ningcheng No. 1 Middle School. If you tell others, it may affect your status in the high school entrance examination. The fewer people who know, the better."
Teacher Wang understood human nature very well and was afraid that others would ridicule Li Wenxi for being ambitious.
Li Wenxi folded the application form again and put it back in her pocket. "Teacher Wang, I understand. Thank you." After that, she bowed to Teacher Wang and left. When
I walked out of the office, I saw Zhang Qing standing outside the door.
The two ignored each other and walked away from each other.
The bell rang for the end of class, and everyone packed up their bags and left, leaving only a few students on duty.
When Zhang Qing came back, she only saw Li Wenting, He Fang, and Chen Dongfang. She was stunned: "Why haven't you left yet?"
"We are on duty today, did you forget? What do you want to do with Teacher Wang?"
"Just, just to ask a question." Zhang Qing hesitated. Seeing that they looked unconvinced, she hurriedly said: "Do you know what I heard at the door of the office just now?"
As expected, several people were aroused by her curiosity, "What? Tell me quickly?"
"Do you know where your country bumpkin will apply for the high school entrance examination?"
"Where else can she go except this school?" Chen Dongfang said.
"Ningcheng No. 1 Middle School?" He Fang said with a smile.
Zhang Qing patted He Fang, "Be serious. Can you guess it carefully?"
Li Wenting stared at Zhang Qing and said, "Ningcheng No. 4 Middle School?"
Zhang Qing gave Li Wenting a thumbs up.
Li Wenting frowned tightly, "Who of you told her about Ningcheng No. 4 Middle School?"
"I didn't say a word to her." He Fang said immediately.
"I didn't say it." Zhang Qing also explained, "I was shocked when I heard it just now."
"How could I be so hard on myself and let her go to the same high school as me?" Chen Dongfang said.
"Then how did she know this?" Li Wenting frowned so much that she almost strangled a fly to death.
"Maybe it was Teacher Wang or Teacher Zhao. You know, they are partial to this country bumpkin."
During dinner, Li Wenting took the initiative to ask Li Wenxi, "Which school did you fill in for the high school entrance examination?"
Li Wenxi raised his head and looked at Li Wenting without saying anything.
"Are you going to fill in the high school entrance examination application?" Qin Lan said.
"Well, we were just thinking about discussing it with our parents."
"There is only one school like this on our island. Where else can we apply?" Qin Lan looked puzzled.
Li Hongbin also looked at them.
Li Wenting looked at Li Wenxi, then at Li Hongbin and Qin Lan and said, "Dongfang has an uncle who is a teacher at No. 4 Middle School. Dongfang said that as long as I pass the admission score of their No. 4 Middle School, his uncle can help us go to No. 4 Middle School. However, there are only two places, for me and Dongfang."
"Is there such a good thing? Going to Ningcheng is definitely better than studying on the island." Qin Lan was very excited.
"Does your score meet the admission score of Ningcheng No. 4 Middle School?" Li Hongbin looked at Li Wenting.
"Look, you, what are you saying? Tingting has this ambition. As a parent, why do you want to undermine her self-confidence?" Qin Lan interrupted Li Hongbin.
"Who said that? Is this certain? If I fill in the wrong application, it will affect my whole life." The more Li Hongbin thought about it, the more he felt it was unreliable. "I'll go ask Teacher Chen later."
Qin Lan also felt that she should ask.
"Dongfang said it, so it must be okay. Mom and Dad, why don't you ask?" Li Wenting didn't know why she was reluctant to ask about this.
"How can you be so vague about such a big thing?" Li Hongbin made the final decision.
He looked at Li Wenxi again, "Is there any problem with your application? You mean this school?"
Li Wenxi was eating her meal without any concern when she was suddenly asked. She looked around and remembered what Teacher Wang said. She wanted to tell her father in private that if she said she applied for Ningcheng No. 1 Middle School at the dinner table, she would not only be laughed at, but also might have an accident. So she lowered her head to eat and hummed.
Li Wenting looked at Li Wenxi suspiciously, "Why did I hear that you also want to go to Ningcheng to study in high school?"
Li Wenxi was shocked and didn't know what to say.
Li Wenting saw that her expression confirmed her own thoughts, and said with a straight face: "It is not easy to take the entrance exam to Ningcheng No. 4 Middle School if you are not a Ningcheng resident. Moreover, Ningcheng No. 4 Middle School does not have dormitories, and Uncle Dongfang can only help two people. I advise you to discuss it with your parents before filling it out."
"Then let Uncle Dongfang help your second sister. Your grades are not good enough for the exam, so don't waste your place." Wenhua on the side suddenly said.
Li Wenting burst into tears. Qin Lan went to comfort her and scolded Li Wenhua again: "What nonsense are you talking about? Dongfang asked his uncle to help because he has a good relationship with Tingting. How can you just change someone? And your eldest sister's grades are not worse than your second sister's. Your eldest sister ranked 27th."
Li Wenhua saw Qin Lan's angry look and knew that if he continued to argue that his second sister's grades were better than his eldest sister's, his mother would be mad to death, so he didn't say anything. He always felt that his mother was not only crazy about the grades of his eldest and second sisters, but also a little self-deceiving. It was so obvious that his second sister's grades were better than his eldest sister's, why didn't his mother admit it? Forget
it, when the high school entrance examination results come out, his mother will have to face the reality. If he says it now, he will be scolded by his mother.
