Gold bars are hard currency at all times.

With them, the school's financial pressure can be alleviated and the children's dormitory problem can also be solved.

Principal Chen was very grateful to Wang Zhiyuan for this, but he asked around and found nothing, so he gave up.

The school began to select a new site to build a new dormitory, and the children soon moved into the new houses.

Mid-June.

The children completed their last exam for junior high school and graduated.

Gu Qinghuan was assigned to the county to work as an exam supervisor for two days. He also stayed in the county guesthouse for a few days to concentrate on marking the papers.

Each test paper represents the children’s hope, and she felt as nervous as if she were back in her student days.

On the day when the results came out, even someone as cold and cold as Gu Qinghuan couldn't help but have tears in her eyes.

The Chinese language scores of the two classes she taught directly broke the previous records. The children performed very well, and the Chinese language scores of their commune ranked first in the county.

During the meeting, Principal Chen singled her out for praise.

Lin Muyang also put a perfect end to his last teaching job at the commune primary school. The mathematics he taught was also very good. Wang Qingchuan's mathematics score was the first in the county, with full marks.

There were more than 120 students in the two classes, and more than 70 of them were admitted to the county high school.

In the best year in the past, only about ten students passed the exam, and in the worst year, only about ten passed.

This kind of achievement has never been seen before, and it directly broke the record. The county meeting also highlighted their school's achievements.

However, this kind of performance cannot be replicated. It happened to be the right time that year, and I had good teachers for both major subjects.

Principal Chen made the decision and gave all the teachers of these two classes an extra half-price meat ticket.

Logically, Lin Muyang should be very happy with such results, but he didn't look happy.

Gu Qinghuan didn't understand.

"Teacher Lin, why do you seem dissatisfied? Actually, this result is already very good."

Lin Muyang shook his head: "I am not dissatisfied, on the contrary, I am very satisfied with these children.

I just feel sad for those kids who didn't pass the exam. They will probably have to work hard for the rest of their lives, but there's nothing that can be done about it.

This is the world where the strong prey on the weak and the fittest survive.

And among those children who passed the exam, I don't know how many of them can go to school normally, alas! "Thinking of this, Lin Muyang sighed deeply.

Gu Qinghuan widened his eyes in surprise when he heard this.

"You won't go to school even if you pass the exam?"

Lin Muyang knew that Gu Qinghuan should have a good family background, so it was normal for him not to understand the situation of a poor family.

"Don't think that there are more than 70 people who passed the exam this time, but it's good enough if half of them actually go to the county high school.

For most families, it is already the limit for their children to finish junior high school.

Because high school costs more money, many families cannot afford it, and children of this age are already the main labor force of the family and can earn work points. "

With that said, Gu Qinghuan understood everything.

"Don't these parents think it's a pity? Their children have worked so hard to get admitted, and they want to find a better job after graduating from high school! Don't they just persevere?" She didn't understand their train of thought.

"Teacher Gu, you are asking why we don't eat meat.

Did you know that the tuition for a semester in high school is ten yuan, and there are also miscellaneous expenses such as notebooks, pens, stationery, etc., and food and accommodation are also expensive.

If you calculate that a child's education costs tens of dollars per semester, it will cost hundreds of dollars per year, and it will take two years to support him. How much money can a rural family afford?"

A teacher nearby interrupted in disagreement.

Gu Qinghuan blushed immediately.

Born in the Red Flag and raised in the spring breeze, she never knew that in this era, being admitted to high school and studying there was also a luxury.

After all, most parents try their best to raise their children and spend huge amounts of money just for their children to go to good high schools and universities.

She finally understood why some were happy and some were sad after the results came out, and why those children who should have been happy did not look happy.

They already knew their fate.

Seeing her embarrassment, Lin Muyang quickly replied, "Teacher Gu, you are an educated youth from Beijing. I wonder if the situation here is normal."

Gu Qinghuan didn't know how he walked back to the dormitory. Anyway, his whole body was shrouded in a gloomy mood.

She could accept the great suffering, but seeing these children suffer, she felt particularly uncomfortable.

If they just didn't work hard and didn't have talent, then that's fine.

However, most of them study so hard, hoping to change their destiny through study.

But even this cannot be done.

What a pity.

She didn't even cook and just slept with her head covered. When the children came home from school, they thought she was sick, but when they felt her forehead they found she didn't have a fever, they were relieved.

The two little guys heated up their steamed buns and ate them, then finished their homework and reviewed their lessons obediently.

They will have their final exams soon.

Gu Qinghuan slept until midnight.

It's late at night and my stomach is rumbling with hunger.

Seeing the steamed buns left by the children on the table, she stood up and prepared to go to the kitchen to get a kettle to pour some hot water to cool the buns.

When she reached the door, she suddenly heard a cat meow, which startled her.

There is no cat in this yard? Why is there a cat meowing? It shouldn't be like that!

There is a situation!

Gu Qinghuan quietly lifted a corner of the window paper and looked outside.

A not very tall figure flashed past her window.

With the help of moonlight, Gu Qinghuan could clearly see that the figure was... Wang Ruolan from her class.

She is the girl who ranked second in the school in this exam. She is usually not talkative and always studies hard. She is a very hardworking girl.

When the results came, she didn't go home. What was she doing running to the staff dormitory in the middle of the night?

With doubt in his heart, Gu Qinghuan gently opened the door a crack and watched her enter one of the staff dormitories.

Is that...Fang Youde’s room?

Fang Youde is the young man with eyes on top of his head who was left out after being picked after being picked many times.

He teaches history and usually has little interaction with her.

But according to Lin Xiaomeng, this guy is quite smooth-talking and always makes himself look greasy.

It was the middle of the night, one was a single male teacher and the other was a young female student. No wonder she thought too much, and many inappropriate scenes flashed through her mind.

I haven't heard that they are related in any way! Besides, even if they are relatives, they don't have to call the child over in the middle of the night, right?

The more Gu Qinghuan thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. In order to verify her guess, she tiptoed to Fang Youde's door.

The door was already closed, so she could only put her ear to it to listen to what was going on inside.

The two seemed to be arguing over a price, and their voices were low, so Gu Qinghuan could only hear a rough outline of what they were saying.

"Didn't you say you would pay for my high school education?" the girl said in surprise.

"Yeah, I'll give you ten yuan. Isn't that enough?" the man said nonchalantly.

"Ten dollars is only enough for one semester's tuition. I have to eat all the time, so you have to give me at least ten dollars." The girl's voice was tearful and trembling.

"Don't be so shameless! Ten dollars is already a lot. You can earn so much money just by lying here. It's enough for your parents to work for a month."

"You lied! You didn't keep your word!" The girl collapsed and cried.

Fang Youde had no patience, so he grabbed the girl and threw her onto the bed, then pressed on her.

Then Gu Qinghuan only heard a series of chaotic voices, accompanied by the sobbing of a girl.

She thought to herself, this is bad! Fang Youde is such a beast, how dare he do this!

At this moment she thought a lot, what if she shouted loudly and called everyone over.

Although Fang Youde, the beast, would be brought to justice, Wang Ruolan's life would be ruined.

She is still so young, she doesn't want to be accused of having an affair with her teacher.

Gu Qinghuan had just roughly heard that there might be some kind of transaction between them, and Wang Ruolan was obviously not doing it voluntarily.

Time waited for no one, and she had no idea what was going on inside. After thinking it over again, she finally gritted her teeth and knocked on Fang Youde's door.

The frightened man inside stopped moving, his breathing slowed down, and he asked nervously, "Who is it?"

Gu Qinghuan tried to speak as softly as possible: "Teacher Fang, you are still awake! I want to borrow something from you. Please open the door."

"Teacher Gu? I'm already asleep. Let's talk tomorrow."

Fang Youde had no idea why Gu Qinghuan, who had nothing to do with him at all, suddenly came looking for him.

Wang Ruolan was lying on the kang in despair with her clothes pulled open. When she heard Gu Qinghuan's voice, a glimmer of hope suddenly flashed in her eyes and her eyes were filled with tears.

She regretted it, she wished Gu Qinghuan could save her!

Fang Youde covered her mouth tightly and whispered in her ear: "If you dare to scream, you will have no chance of getting away with it!"

Wang Ruolan shut her mouth. She knew that if she screamed loudly, she would be ruined and even criticized.

Seeing that he was like a dead pig and was not afraid of boiling water and refused to open the door, Gu Qinghuan also became angry.

"Teacher Fang, do you want me to call someone else?"
