Chapter 69

As early as the beginning of the resumption of the college entrance examination, you actually had to fill in your application form before

taking the college entrance examination. But the policy was suddenly changed the year before last, and you had to estimate your score before filling in your application form. Although this form is not as good as filling in your application form after the score is released decades later, it is much better than filling in your application form before the exam. In her previous life, Qin Xiang almost missed the entire math exam because of diarrhea, so she didn't even estimate her score and gave up this path directly.

At that time, Qin Xiang was full of resentment, but in fact, think about it, even if she didn't take the math exam, she could go to a junior college with her grades at the time, but at that time she felt that it would be better not to go to a good university. No matter how Teacher Ning advised her to repeat or apply for the exam, she ignored it.

Now I think it's silly. If she is given another chance, she will probably go to junior college. At worst

, she can just take the postgraduate entrance examination. It's useless to think too much. Now it seems not bad. At least she can earn more money for two years. Now I am just sighing.

Days like today are very important for college entrance examination candidates. When Qin Xiang arrived at the school, many senior high school students who had finished the exam had already arrived.

There were originally five classes in the senior high school, but after the pre-exam, there were only about 120 people left. Those who did not pass the pre-exam either repeated the exam next year or dropped out directly. Now the remaining students have been divided into three classes again. It is worth mentioning that only a small part of the more than 120 students are freshmen, and most of them are repeaters.

This situation is not so obvious in the city or the provincial capital. It is still the same sentence, education is unequal, and students in the county need to take multiple exams to accumulate experience.

This is the first time Qin Xiang has entered her class. As soon as she entered, many people saw her and greeted her, "Classmate Qin Xiang, you are here."

"Yes, you are finally here, everyone is waiting for you."

Looking at the enthusiastic and unfamiliar classmates, Qin Xiang was stunned.

To be honest, she didn't know these classmates, and she didn't expect everyone to be so enthusiastic.

A girl said, "Everyone is very grateful for the information you shared at the beginning."

Qin Xiang's heart warmed, "We are all classmates, and it is right to share with each other."

After the exam that day, many people expressed their gratitude to her. I didn't expect to be thanked again when I came back.

"That's also because you are kind-hearted." A girl from the county said, "Huang Wei from the next class, his aunt got him some information in the city, but he didn't share it and studied it secretly. You are already better than many people."

"Yes, many people won't share."

In fact, it is easy to understand. Even if they are classmates in the same class, they are still competitors. If others get one more point than you, you will have one less chance to go to college. This situation is especially obvious when learning materials are scarce.

Others share out of kindness, and they can't blame others for not sharing. Even they themselves may not be able to share so generously. To put it bluntly, they all have no confidence in themselves, and they are afraid that others will take up their place in college if they get a few more points.

So Qin Xiang's generous sharing moved everyone, especially when no one knew each other, which was particularly rare.

Qin Xiang was about to say a few more polite words when the head teacher, Mr. He, came in.

When Mr. He saw Qin Xiang, he smiled and

said, "Just now, Dean Ning said he didn't know if you were here or not. I didn't expect you to come early." He put a stack of answers to the college entrance examination questions on the table and said, "Okay, everyone sit down, and then we will start estimating scores. I will write on the blackboard, and you can estimate your scores by yourself. If you are not sure, ask the teacher. Tomorrow we have to fill in the application form, and everyone needs to think carefully."

In order to help students estimate scores today, even Ning Sumei, a teacher in the third grade, came.

Because there are fewer students now, Qin Xiang also has a place to sit. Ning Sumei came in and asked her, "How do you think you did in the exam?"

Qin Xiang smiled, "I think it's okay?"

Ning Sumei smiled, "Let me tell you, the school leaders are here today, waiting for your estimated scores in the office, ready to help you choose a school."

Qin Xiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "If I don't do well in the exam, I will let everyone down."

"Don't worry about these things now that the exam is over. Let's estimate the scores." Ning Sumei rarely smiled. Probably because the exam was over, Ning Sumei changed her usual serious look to other students and became much gentler.

You have to estimate the scores for each subject, and the most difficult and hard to estimate are probably Chinese and Politics. The main reason is that these two subjects have more subjective questions, so it is easy to make mistakes when estimating the scores.

Teacher He wrote the standard answers to the previous questions on the blackboard, and then asked everyone to estimate the scores. Finally, he wrote the score points and key points of the essay on the blackboard.

The essay was so long that students could not write it down and let the teacher help them estimate. They could only estimate it based on the key points.

Qin Xiang finished her estimate and then found a shadow above her head. She looked up and met Teacher Ning's eyes, "How is it?"

Qin Xiang added up all the scores before she finished speaking, "I didn't go off topic in the essay and I also hit the key points. I think it's no problem to get 110 points." For

a question with 120 points, 110 points is already very good, and most of the points were deducted for the essay, which shows that there were few mistakes in the previous questions.

Ning Sumei smiled faintly, "Okay, now it's math."

Math is Qin Xiang's strong point, and it's easy to estimate the score. In the end, Qin Xiang estimated 115 points, and no one in the class scored higher than Qin Xiang.

What's more terrible is that there is a very controversial question in math this year, which is also very difficult. Many students just left it blank because they couldn't find the clues. So a question worth 12 points was directly missed. Ning Sumei turned around, came back to Qin Xiang and couldn't help sighing.

Qin Xiang asked, "What's wrong?"

Ning Sumei sat down next to her and said in a low voice, "The math test was generally not good."

Not only was it not good, there were not many people who scored more than 80 points, and some people even scored only 50 points. This score difference is quite big.

Qin Xiang had never thought about this. In her previous life, she had only heard that the math questions in 1984 were very difficult, but she didn't know much about the ones in 1985.

Ning Sumei was a little upset and relieved, "Estimate the others first."

There were seven science subjects with a total score of 700. Qin Xiang estimated all of them. Physics and chemistry were still a little short, but she also estimated a high score of 622. Looking at this estimate, Ning Sumei's eyes widened, "Qin Xiang, you didn't estimate it wrong?"

Qin Xiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "How can I answer this question? I'm not a paper-marking teacher. I can only estimate the score based on what I filled in. Maybe I can estimate it a little less."

"No, no, our teacher has seen the test papers. This year's test questions are generally difficult. Let alone 622 points, even if we estimate 20 points less, it would be good." Ning Sumei said with relief, "Maybe our school can really stand up this year."

She stood up and said, "I'll go talk to the principal and others."

After that, without waiting for Qin Xiang to say anything, she ran out.

Ning Sumei has always been calm and rarely cares about her image. The classmates in the class couldn't help but be curious, "What's wrong with Teacher Ning?"

The classmate sitting in front of Qin Xiang turned around and was about to ask Qin Xiang what her score was, when he saw the score she wrote in the notebook, "Oh, Qin Xiang, your score is so high. It's too high."

Well, because of this shout, everyone in the class looked at Qin Xiang.

Teacher He walked over quickly, and when he saw the numbers on the paper, the smile on his face grew bigger and bigger. He

couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Qin Xiang, you will definitely bring honor to our school this year." Qin Xiang couldn't help laughing, "I hope I didn't estimate the score wrong."

Chinese, math and English are her strengths, especially English, which can beat many students of this generation. Qin Xiang dared to say that there were few students in the city who were better than her in English, not to mention those in the county. English and math alone can make her different from others.

So even if her physics and chemistry scores were not estimated to be very high, it was enough for her to have an impressive high score.

Not long after Teacher Ning went out, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and Principal Cao was the first to stand at the door, panting, and the place on his head that was originally covered was exposed to his smooth scalp.

"Student Qin Xiang, please write down your answers and I will help you estimate them."

Principal Cao didn't care about his image at all because he was so happy. This year's questions were very difficult. He called the city leaders and thought that if you scored more than 600 points, you would have no problem applying to Capital University or Tsinghua University. He didn't expect that students from their school could estimate such high scores.

Not only Principal Cao, but other teachers also looked at Qin Xiang eagerly.

Under such gazes, Qin Xiang couldn't even say no.

Qin Xiang was helpless, "Okay."

Seeing that she was relieved, Principal Cao smiled and said, "Let's go, it's getting late, the principal will treat you to lunch."

"That's right, let's go and talk about applying to schools."

Teacher He looked pleased.

No matter what, this student was in his class, and he passed the exam, so it was his achievement.

Teacher He smiled and said, "You are so proud of me."

Qin Xiang: "..."

Qin Xiang was finally dragged away by Teacher Ning because of the teachers' enthusiasm.

The classmates in the class did not feel jealous, but just envious, "If we can also get such high scores, the teacher will definitely be proud of us."

A girl who first thanked Qin Xiang said, "In fact, there is a reason why the teacher invited her to dinner. Although our county's economic development is better than other counties, our school's ranking in the city is not very good because there have not been many good students in the past few years. Qin Xiang ranked first in the city in the pre-examination. If she performs well this time and takes first place in the city again, then our school will be famous, and the city's educational resources will give priority to our school."

After she said this, several classmates who did not do well in the exam could not help but smile bitterly, "So if we repeat the year, maybe we can benefit from her."

Several people stopped talking and hurried back.

After the scores were estimated, they had to fill out the application form tomorrow, so no one planned to go back in the afternoon.

Wang Xiao felt very uncomfortable after the scores were estimated. She came out of the classroom feeling suffocated. As a result, she first saw Qin Xiang being escorted by a group of teachers to eat, and then heard the conversation in Qin Xiang's class. She was

very dissatisfied and jealous.

Jealousy is maddening. Wang Xiao was so crazy that she wanted to scream. She didn't even dare to apply for a junior college, but Qin Xiang was out of her reach.

Qin Xiang followed the principal and several teachers out. Principal Cao said that they had to go to a restaurant outside to eat. Qin Xiang thought that she would go and she would find a chance to settle the bill later. But she knew that the salaries of these teachers were not high.

After arriving at the hotel and ordering a table of dishes, Principal Cao cautiously asked, "Student Qin Xiang, which school do you plan to apply to?"
