Chapter 140 Chapter 140 Report Card
After a few days, Xia Qinqin found that the doorstep of her house was very quiet recently. The groups of people riding bicycles in front of her house every day were gone.
"Brother Yannan, are there any activities at school recently?"
Early in the morning on this weekend, Xia Qinqin was drawing in the small study room, while Lu Yannan was sitting next to her practicing calligraphy.
"No, there's still one month left for the agricultural training activity." Lu Yannan put down the brush and said slowly.
Xia Qinqin rubbed her sore hands and said, "That's strange. Do you feel that my doorstep has been very quiet recently? Pang Youcheng and his friends used to come and go at my doorstep several times a day. But I pretended not to see them these past few days. Don't they go to school?"
Lu Yannan said: "I don't know, maybe he took another road."
"Oh, that's right. There are so many roads. It won't be a problem for them to ride their bikes to take a detour." Xia Qinqin nodded.
The two talked for a while, and Xia Junshan's voice came from the living room downstairs.
"Qinqin, Yannan, come down quickly, we are about to set off."
Today, Meng Yufei and Xia Junshan can finally rest, and the family plans to go to the city for fun.
Xia Qinqin was worried that she would not have time to paint when she got home, so she got up early today to finish today's task first. Lu Yannan also practiced calligraphy with her.
Their way of traveling today was by bicycle, four people and three bicycles. The roads in Lingcheng were very flat, without many uphill slopes, and very suitable for cycling.
Along the way, there were occasionally a few cars on the Lingcheng road, and the rest were a constant stream of bicycles.
Xia Junshan sighed: "It is still more convenient now. You can go wherever you want by bike. I still remember when we were in Qiongzhou a few years ago, it was very troublesome for us to go to the city. We had to take both a boat and a bus."
Meng Yufei also recalled those days and said with a smile, "Yes, especially when the weather was still hot there. Every time we got off the bus, the two children were as cold as eggplants hit by frost."
Xia Junshan laughed and said, "I remember they were still in my arms at that time. In the blink of an eye, they have grown so big."
"Children grow up so fast. How about we take the bus again next time we come to the city? This time they won't need anyone to hold them." Meng Yufei suggested with a smile.
Xia Junshan nodded: "That's a good idea. Let's go hiking next time."
Xia Qinqin frowned and said, "Oh, the bus is too crowded. It's more comfortable to ride a bicycle. You can get some fresh air and the air is good."
Xia Junshan said with a smile: "Do you still have the energy to ride a bike after climbing the mountain?"
Xia Qinqin said hurriedly: "Yes, I am very strong, Dad, I will speed up, you and Brother Yannan should catch up quickly."
After saying that, she ran to the front in a flash.
Afterwards, Lu Yannan quickened his pace and caught up, while Xia Junshan, who fell behind, rode leisurely.
When they arrived at the destination, they parked the bicycles on the side of the road, and Xia Junshan tied the three bicycles together with a chain. Although the public security is very good now, bicycles are valuable items after all, so they still have to be careful.
After parking the car, there was a car parked in the empty space next to it. Xia Qinqin was a little envious: "Wow, I want to drive a car too."
Xia Junshan smiled and said, "When you grow up, I will ask Uncle Chen to teach you how to drive."
Xiao Chen is Xia Junshan's communicator and is also responsible for driving Xia Junshan's jeep.
Xia Qinqin asked: "When will I be considered grown up?"
Xia Junshan thought for a moment and said, "Well, I'll wait until you're eighteen."
"Ah...it's still so long." Xia Qinqin calculated that it would take several more years.
Xia Junshan said with a smile: "Even if you learn to drive now, there is no car for you to drive."
Although the army provided Xia Junshan with a car, he did not like to use the car for personal purposes, and his family rode bicycles when they went out.
Xia Qinqin thought about it and said, "Then I'll learn it when I grow up. If I'm good at it, I'll become a driver."
Xia Junshan smiled and said, "Well, driver is one of the eight major members. It's a good profession."
Lu Yannan then asked, "Qinqin, aren't you going to college?"
Xia Qinqin shook her head: "I don't want to go. When I was in Hai City, I went to Hai City University and didn't like the atmosphere there."
Lu Yannan said: "That's right. Colleges nowadays are different from before. If you don't want to go to college, you can go to a military school. Didn't you learn dancing with Teacher Zhou when you were a kid?"
Xia Qinqin smiled and said, "That was so long ago, I almost forgot about it. Oh, by the way, do you remember Sister Fangfang? She was selected into the art troupe last year. She danced really well..."
Listening to Xia Qinqin introducing her childhood friends, Lu Yannan was in a trance for a while. In his memory, the only impression he had about Nanya Island was the Xia family. No one else was in his memory.
In fact, this time, in addition to coming to Lingcheng with his uncle, he could choose to continue staying with his parents. It was his own request.
In the past few years since he returned to his parents' home, he has spent very little time with them, and most of the time he is alone at home.
After finishing a project a few years ago, my mother immediately started working on the next one. It was difficult to have a meal with her throughout the year.
The father was the same. He was always busy with work. When he occasionally came home, the two of them were like speechless strangers.
The memories of his family in his mind were still of the Xia family during his childhood.
So when he heard that Uncle Xia got a promotion and would be transferred to Lingcheng with his uncle, he took the initiative to ask his grandfather to come to Lingcheng.
Now, he feels at home again, warm, comfortable, happy, and secure...
Although schools do not attach much importance to academic subjects nowadays, there are still final exams at the end of each semester, and there is only one final exam per semester.
There are only three subjects in the exam, one is mathematics, one is Chinese, and one is ideology and politics.
The last test was on ideology and politics. When Xia Qinqin came out after the test, she saw a group of people gathered at the door. Standing in the middle was Li Yaoqing, who was from the next class, and was boasting about his test paper.
"I wrote "Long live the Chairman" under each question. I don't believe the teacher would dare to say that my answer is wrong. Hehe, I'm going to get full marks this time." His tone was complacent.
The onlookers echoed: "Brother Li is the one who has a solution. I wrote it the same way. I hope my dad won't call me stupid after I take the test this time."
"Is this really possible?" someone questioned.
Li Yaoqing immediately said, "Why not? I want to see who dares to cross out my answer. He doesn't want to do it anymore."
Xia Qinqin frowned when she heard this. This person was really despicable. He had to think of so many bad ideas just for an exam.
"What's wrong?" Lu Yannan walked up to her and asked concernedly. He came out early and had been waiting for Xia Qinqin at the door.
"Are you having problems with the test paper? Which question?"
Xia Qinqin shook her head, "No."
She told Lu Yannan what she had just heard at the door, and said angrily: "Isn't he making things difficult for the teacher? We just have an ordinary final exam, but he doesn't study himself, but instead thinks of these bad ideas every day."
Lu Yannan said: "Don't worry, you forgot who the head teacher of the class next door is. She will find a way."
Xia Qinqin then remembered that the head teacher of the next class was the school's academic director, and he was better at talking about profound principles than anyone else.
"Then I'm looking forward to what method you can use to deal with Li Yaoqing this time. You won't really give him a full score on the test paper, right?"
Lu Yannan smiled and said, "That's impossible. If I give full marks this time, what will happen if all students follow suit? Then the school won't need to have exams anymore."
On the day they went to school to get their report cards, Xia Qinqin took Lu Yannan out early in the morning.
In the age ranking list, Xia Qinqin ranked first with 100 points in mathematics, 100 points in Chinese, and 90 points in ideology and politics.
The second place is Lu Yannan, who also scored 100 points in mathematics and Chinese, and 85 points in ideology and politics.
The two names are next to each other.
After taking a look, Xia Qinqin looked all the way down, looking for Li Yaoqing's position, and finally found him in the last row.
Each subject is worth 6 points, adding up to 18 points.
When marking the test papers, the teachers put the papers with special answers together and specially sought opinions from school leaders.
I heard that the dean's face darkened when she saw the names on a few test papers. Those students were all in her class.
Finally, it was the Dean of Studies who proposed the solution. First of all, the answers on the test paper must not be crossed out. If they were to be crossed out, it would give these little bastards a handle.
Since you don’t want to cross it, don’t tick it either, just give the points directly.
There are six questions in total, each worth one point.
Those students were still not convinced and kept shouting that there was nothing wrong with their answers, so why was they only given one point?
The school’s response was: What was written on the test paper was correct, but as an answer to the test question it was not complete and needed to be supplemented.
"Haha, the teachers are really awesome."
After hearing this, Xia Qinqin was happier than if she had won first place.
"Let's see if they dare to answer questions like this again in the future."
Lu Yannan smiled and said, "I think they don't dare. Just now, the Dean of Education took the test papers of those students to the family quarters and said that they answered very thoughtfully. He wanted to give the test papers to their parents to appreciate them and thank them for cultivating such highly conscious students."
Xia Qinqin was delighted when she heard this and clapped her hands, "Haha, the dean is really interesting. Let's go, Brother Yannan, let's go back and join in the fun..."
Lu Yannan pulled Xia Qinqin, who was about to run, and said helplessly, "Have you forgotten that we came here by bike?"
"Oh, yes, I almost forgot." Xia Qinqin smiled and touched her head. Then you and Lu Yannan go to the parking shed to get the car.
When the two of them were going back, they rode all the way into the family compound. On their way home, they happened to pass by Li Yaoqing's house and heard a wailing sound from a distance.
"Wow, the rolling pin in Li Yaoqing's mother's hand is so long." Xia Qinqin sighed.
Lu Yannan nodded: "I heard that she is from the north and is very good at making noodles."
Xia Qinqin smiled and said, "My father is also good at making noodles. Do you remember that he used to roll noodles for us to eat?"
“Yeah, remember, it tastes good.”
"Then I'll go back and ask my dad to make noodles for us when he's free..."
After watching the lively show, the two chatted and laughed as they rode home.
When she got home and found Meng Yufei was also at home, Xia Qinqin was surprised: "Mom, why are you back so early today?"
Meng Yufei smiled and said, "I've finished my work today, and the president asked me to come back." The other day was the month-end accounting, and she worked overtime for several days.
"Did you just come back from school? How did you do on the exam?"
Xia Qinqin quickly showed her her report card, "Mom, I'm number one in my grade!"
Meng Yufei took the report card, looked at it carefully, and nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, our Qinqin is really amazing. Even though she transferred here, she can still get the first place in the exam."
Xia Qinqin puffed out her chest happily and said with a smile: "The school test paper is too easy. If I had 200 points, I could have passed it."
Meng Yufei smiled and said, "Then these 100 points will limit your performance."
"Yes." Xia Qinqin nodded seriously.
Meng Yufei looked at Lu Yannan who had been standing behind her and asked him with a smile: "Yannan, how did you do in the exam?"
Lu Yannan handed over the score sheet and said with a smile, "I can't compare to sister Qinqin."
Meng Yufei opened the report card and saw the results. She smiled and said, "The second place is also amazing. You both got full marks in math and Chinese."
Xia Qinqin said, "Mom, I think this 100 points also limits Brother Yannan's performance. He is very good at math. Our math teacher even said he would recommend him to go to college."
In this era, colleges and universities are places where the country selects and trains professional talents.
"It's a pity that Brother Yannan doesn't want to go. He wants to go to the military academy."
Meng Yufei said: "Military school is also good. The most important thing is to follow the path you like."
Xia Qinqin looked at Lu Yannan and suddenly felt envious: "Brother Yannan, you are amazing. You have already thought about what path you will take in the future."
Then she sighed, "I haven't decided what I want to do in the future."
Lu Yannan asked her: "What do you like?"
Xia Qinqin thought for a moment and said, "I like painting the most, so I will go to the streets to draw promotional pictures in the future. Well, I also like driving a car. Although I can't drive now, I can become a driver when I learn... Oh, by the way, I also like eating, but I can't cook. Will the hotel want me?"
Meng Yufei smiled and said, "You are still young. Finish junior high school first. After you finish junior high school, you still have high school. It won't be too late to consider what to do in the future after you graduate from high school."
Xia Qinqin said happily: "Okay, let's talk about it later. Mom, I'm hungry, I want to eat chocolate."
Meng Yufei said, "If you want to eat, go to the cupboard and get some. Get one for Yannan as well. There are biscuits in it. If you are hungry, eat something to fill your stomach first. We can eat when your dad comes back later."
Xia Qinqin happily ran to the cupboard next to the sofa to look for snacks.
Meng Yufei looked at her daughter's carefree face, then glanced down at the report card in her hand, and couldn't help feeling a little sad.
Qinqin's grades are so good that she should be aiming to go to a university.
It would be nice if I could resume the college entrance exam...
