Chapter 163
Jiang Meishu was truly shocked.
"Just a casual test like that" is that human language? With his mouth at 37 degrees, how could he say such cold words?
Jiang Meishu was choked for a long time before she finally managed to organize her words, "You mean your score can be raised further?"
Jiang Nanfang shook his head. "No, the full score is 100, so my limit is 100."
When talking about the areas he is good at, he is no longer the introverted and hesitant Jiangnan Fang, but is determined and confident.
Jiang Meishu looked him over carefully, as if she were meeting her own brother for the first time. "Have you finished high school?"
Jiangnan Fang, "I've only learned half of it."
“I only studied math and physics.”
Jiang Meishu thought for a moment and asked, "Do you think it's difficult?"
Jiang Nanfang shook his head. "It's not difficult, and quite interesting."
This was exactly what Jiang Meishu wanted to hear. She thought for a moment, "Your homeroom teacher, Mr. Xu, came to me and told me that you're about to take the high school entrance exam, but with your current grades, you'd be buried in the mud at either Roulianchang Middle School or the No. 1 City Middle School. He suggested that he persuade you to go to a senior who teaches at the University of Science and Technology. After that, he can give you a test."
"If you pass the test, you won't have to go to high school in the future and can go directly to HKUST."
"Nanfang, what do you think?"
Jiang Meishu is not a dictatorial person. In fact, to a certain extent, she respects the opinions of the parties involved.
Jiang Nanfang murmured, "If I skip high school and go to college early, will I be able to start working early?"
Jiang Nanfang is not young anymore, he is seventeen years old this year, and he still relies on his family for support. He relies more on his mother, who saves food for him. This is something that Jiang Nanfang has never been able to accept.
Jiang Meishu thought about it and said, "Logically speaking, yes. If you skip high school and go straight to college, it would be equivalent to saving three years compared to others."
Jiang Nanfang said decisively, "Then I'll read it."
"Please promise Teacher Xu for me."
Jiang Meishu sighed and thought for a moment, "I'll definitely agree to Teacher Xu's request, but besides that, we should also look for connections on our own side."
"I'll ask my sister later, and then your brother-in-law. I'll get a few more people's opinions."
She thought for a moment and said, "You should come along too."
Jiang Nanfang hesitated. "I haven't finished reading the book that Teacher Xu gave me. He asked me to do a set of mock exams tomorrow."
Jiang Meishu immediately changed her tone, "Forget it, your studies are more important."
"Second sister will definitely help you with the rest of the matter, and then choose the best option."
Jiang Nanfang nodded. He thought for a moment, then turned back into the room and took out two large unity notes from under the pillow on the cot. When he came out, he handed them to Jiang Meishu, "Second sister, keep this money in case you need to build relationships."
This is really not like Jiang Nanfang. In Jiang Meishu's impression, her younger brother has always been a nerd who is out of touch with the world.
She looked at the two big pictures, confused and surprised. "No, Nan Fang, when did you learn these?"
Jiang Nanfang lowered his eyes, "Liang Rui taught me."
He taught Liang Rui how to study, and Liang Rui taught him the ways of the world. It can only be said that they both have their own strengths.
Jiang Meishu didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this. She stuffed the money into Jiang Nanfang's hand and gave him ten kilograms of food coupons as an extra gift. "Keep it for yourself. If you feel very hungry after self-study, go to the cafeteria and buy some food to fill your stomach. Don't let yourself go hungry every day."
Liang Rui is thin, and Jiang Nanfang is even thinner than him.
Just like a bamboo pole, she had heard her mother Wang Limei say that Jiang Nanfang felt dizzy due to hunger several times, but it was because she had given him some brown sugar at home that he stopped feeling dizzy after drinking brown sugar water.
Jiang Nanfang refused to accept it, and he took a step back. "I won't starve, Second Sister, please don't subsidize me anymore."
Jiang Meishu knew that he was sensible and that he had a strong sense of self-esteem. She sighed, "Nanfang, I don't need these ten kilograms of food coupons, but you do. Just think of it as Second Sister lending it to you in advance. When you have made a name for yourself in the future, you can return it to Second Sister, okay?"
Jiang Nanfang hesitated.
Jiang Meishu stuffed the food coupons and the Great Unity into his pocket and said, "Put it away."
"Only when you are physically strong can you concentrate on studying."
After saying this, she left without giving Jiang Nanfang any room to refuse.
Jiang Nanfang stood there, holding the ten kilograms of food coupons in his hand. He looked in the direction where Jiang Meishu left with red eyes. He murmured, "Second sister."
He won't always be a burden.
When Jiang Meishu left home, Wang Limei thought she was staying home for dinner, so she mixed some fine grains into the food she cooked. But when she turned around, Jiang Meishu was no longer at the gate. Wang Limei was stunned and asked Jiang Nanfang, "Where's your second sister?"
Jiang Nanfang lowered his head and wiped his face. When he looked up again, he was calm, "Second sister left because of something."
Wang Limei slapped her thigh and said, "Why didn't you tell me that the child left?"
Jiang Meishu, who was being thought of by Wang Limei, had never thought of this. After she dealt with Jiang Nanfang, her first stop was to go to the Shen family.
Went to discuss it with her sister.
Jiang Meilan had lived an extra life, so Jiang Meishu had to listen to her advice. She was also quick-witted. When she got to Jiang Meilan's place, she told her what had happened. "That's basically it. Nanfang has agreed. Teacher Xu will introduce me to a senior from HKUST, and I'll introduce him to Nanfang when the time comes."
"Sister, was the South like this in my previous life?"
"No." Jiang Meilan shook her head. "In my previous life, I clearly remember Nanfang was in high school. He even fainted at school, and I was the one who went to pick him up."
Jiang Meishu murmured, "That's what's going to happen in this life. Sister, can you please promise Teacher Xu on Nanfang's behalf that he can skip a grade?"
Jiang Meilan nodded, "Skipping a grade is right."
"If Nanfang were to go to high school, it would only be 1974, and the college entrance examination would still be three years away. And Nanfang could graduate in two years, which means he would have to take a year off to go home."
"It would be better to arrange it this way. Let him take the test at HKUST in advance. If he passes, he can enter university early, saving three years of delay. If he fails, he still has No. 1 Middle School as a backup. This way, he can attack or defend."
Jiang Meishu said happily, "It's just as I thought. But, sister, do you know anyone at HKUST?"
"Or Tsinghua University or Peking University would be fine too. I'll let him try them all."
Jiang Meilan, “…”
Jiang Meilan said unhappily, "I was just a housewife in my previous life. How could I have known such a powerful person?"
Jiang Meishu pursed her lips and smiled awkwardly, "I'm just used to your omnipotence."
"Forget it, since the general direction has been decided, let's do it this way."
Jiang Meilan hummed, her expression somewhat complicated. "I didn't expect Nanfang's progress in this life to be so advanced. In his previous life, he was admitted to the University of Science and Technology and later became a researcher. I rarely saw him since then."
Since then, his younger brother has become a mysterious man.
Jiang Meishu was a little surprised, "I never thought there would be such good fortune in the South."
"I'm afraid smoke is about to rise from the Jiang family's ancestral grave."
Since she had learned the general direction from Jiang Meilan, Jiang Meishu didn't mention the matter to Liang Qiurun. The next day, she went to report back to Teacher Xu.
Teacher Xu was so excited that he stood there thinking for a long time. After school that afternoon, he took Jiang Nanfang and Jiang Meishu to the University of Science and Technology.
Before leaving, Jiang Nanfang was a little reluctant, "Teacher, I haven't finished reading the book you assigned me yesterday."
"Didn't you say that we'd take the placement test today?"
This was how Jiang Nanfang was stubborn about his studies. When he decided to do something, no one and nothing could disturb him.
"That's okay," Teacher Xu said. "I can give you a basic survey tomorrow. Today, just accompany me to HKUST."
He would feel at ease only after he had secured a stable future for Jiangnan Fang, a promising student.
Only then did Jiangnan Fang agree.
But when they were leaving, Teacher Xu said to Jiang Meishu, "Comrade Jiang, you come too."
"You are Jiangnan Fang's parent. It is best for parents to be present for such matters."
Jiang Meishu nodded, but did not refuse.
When they went to HKUST, they took the bus, which cost 1.5 cents and took 11 stops. When they arrived at HKUST, they were stopped outside by security because they were not from HKUST.
Teacher Xu, the organizer of this event, immediately went over to negotiate with the other party, "Comrade, I'm here to see Teacher Ma Guozhang. He's my senior, and we have an appointment before. Could you please help me pass on the message?"
Teacher Xu was very humble. When he spoke to the security officer, the serious old man was now eloquent and subtly flattering him. This was different from the serious and old-fashioned Teacher Xu in the classroom every day.
Seeing him like this, Jiang Nanfang pursed his lips with a complicated expression, and Jiang Meilan next to him noticed it at once.
She whispered to comfort him, "Study hard, that will be the greatest reward for him."
"If you have the ability in the future, come back to see him more often."
Jiang Nanfang nodded, but he didn't say anything. After a while, Teacher Xu came over and rubbed his hands. "Wait a moment, the comrades from the security department have gone to find someone."
Jiang Nanfang opened his mouth, "Teacher Xu."
"Huh?" Teacher Xu looked over in confusion.
Jiang Nanfang shook his head, "Nothing."
After a while, he said, "I will do my best."
This is the greatest reward for Teacher Xu.
When Mr. Xu heard this, he stroked his mustache and said, "I've been waiting for you to say this."
The comrades from the Security Department arrived very quickly, and with them came Feng Guozhang, the senior brother that Teacher Xu mentioned.
When the other party came over, Teacher Xu immediately shouted excitedly, "Senior Brother Feng." Their teacher has been teaching for a lifetime, and the one who has done the best among these students is Feng Guozhang.
Feng Guozhang nodded, "Junior Brother Xu." He had an unshaven beard and looked tired, not at all like a university teacher.
"This is the genius student you were talking about, right?"
Teacher Xu was a little confused, but this was not the time to reminisce about the past, so he nodded and said, "Yes." He immediately pulled Jiang Nanfang over and said, "Nanfang, call me teacher."
Jiang Nanfang was a little reserved. He opened his mouth and said, "Teacher Feng."
This is different from a teacher.
Feng Guozhang seemed not to have heard, "Come in with me."
After saying that, he looked at Teacher Xu and Jiang Meishu and said, "You two should come in too. It's too sunny outside."
It's April and the sun is already getting quite hot.
Teacher Xu said, "Hmm," and asked Jiang Meishu to follow him. But after they arrived at the office, Feng Guozhang asked a student to pour water for Jiang Meishu and Teacher Xu.
He led Jiang Nanfang to the other side and said, "I've taken the person away. I'll bring him back to you later."
"Just wait here."
Teacher Xu sighed, still a little worried, and then instructed Jiang Nanfang, "Relax and treat my senior brother as yourself. Don't be nervous. Just do whatever your uncle tells you to do."
Jiang Nanfang nodded.
Feng Guozhang couldn't bear to watch it any longer. "Okay, Junior Brother Xu, can I still eat him?"
After they left, Teacher Xu couldn't sit still at all. He paced back and forth in the office, making Jiang Meishu dizzy.
"Teacher Xu, please sit down and rest for a while."
Teacher Xu shook his head for a long time before whispering, "I'm nervous."
Although he was already in his forties, his eyes were exceptionally bright and filled with anticipation. "Comrade Jiang, you don't know that when I teach Jiang Nanfang, I feel a bit like when my teacher taught my senior brother Feng. That kind of teacher didn't need to impose too much control, and the student was able to learn independently and advance. In some cases, the student even delved deeper into the problem better than the teacher did."
He rubbed his hands together excitedly, his face flushed. "For a teacher, it is absolutely the greatest fortune to meet a student like this in one's lifetime."
Many teachers may never encounter such a student in their lifetime, but his teacher did, and Feng Guozhang was the student who skipped a grade that year.
Now, he has also met a talented person who belongs to him.
He will personally watch this steed walk towards its own bright future.
He just needs to watch and he will be happy.
After listening to this, Jiang Meishu sighed in her heart. Teachers in this era are really selfless. They will use all their abilities and connections to pave the way for their students.
Thinking of this, Jiang Meishu stood up and helped Teacher Xu sit down, "Please take a rest."
Jiang Meishu said, "No matter what the result is, you have tried your best. As for what happens next, it all depends on Nanfang's luck."
To some extent, Jiang Meishu was more open-minded than Teacher Xu because she already knew the answer and Jiang Nanfang's future.
Maybe she was too calm, and this emotion seemed to be contagious, so Teacher Xu slowly calmed down.
"Then we'll wait."
"I should trust Nanfang. Nanfang has a good foundation and is smart. Senior Brother's difficulty won't be a problem for him."
Just as Teacher Xu said, when Feng Guozhang took out two papers and asked Jiang Nanfang to finish them, he looked at the corrected scores and fell into deep thought.
Almost full marks.
You have to know that this is not a junior high school paper, but a high school paper. Feng Guozhang looked at his math paper and thought about the answer to the last question.
"Have you studied linear algebra?"
This question is obviously beyond the scope of the syllabus.
Jiang Nanfang shook his head. "There's some knowledge on this in the book that Teacher Xu gave me. I've read it."
"He said he would test me today, but he hasn't done it yet."
To be honest, Feng Guozhang was a little surprised, but he suppressed it and remained calm, "Come on, do this set of papers too."
He was holding a set of physics papers from the University of Science and Technology's entrance examination.
Because he himself teaches physics.
After Jiang Nanfang looked at the test paper, he was a little surprised, "Why did you jump from mathematics to physics?"
Just now he was doing a math test and the questions he was asking were also math problems.
Feng Guozhang raised his eyebrows and asked, "Don't you know physics?" with a hint of provocation. Unfortunately, Jiang Nanfang, the nerd, didn't hear it at all.
He shook his head. "I like physics, but I'm good at math."
Listen, is this human language?
Feng Guozhang patted the test paper and said, "Then try to do this set of tests."
Jiang Nanfang nodded, picked up the pen and started working. This set of physics papers was obviously much more difficult than the previous ones.
He spent more time on this set of papers than on the previous two sets.
But fortunately it is done.
Feng Guozhang graded his paper. After grading it, he was surprised. "Ninety-five?"
"You studied college physics?" He looked back. "You also studied mechanics?"
Mechanics is essential in physics.
Jiang Nanfang thought for a moment and said, "I have read books of this kind in the library, but I didn't study them in depth." At that time, he read a few of them out of interest.
Feng Guozhang almost laughed out loud. "You're a junior high student taking university physics and you scored 95 points. You even worked out key concepts like mechanics, although they're not perfect. And you're telling me your research isn't in-depth?"
My God, what junior high school student can say such a thing.
Jiang Nanfang said seriously, "I'm telling the truth. If I had studied university physics in depth, I would have gotten a perfect score."
A true scholar never lies.
Feng Guozhang glanced at him with a complicated expression, "Come with me."
The university physics test was obviously not enough to test Jiangnan Fang, so Feng Guozhang took Jiangnan Fang to his teacher. The only reason he was able to stay in HKUST to teach was because of his teacher's strong recommendation.
However, when Feng Guozhang took Jiang Nanfang to find his teacher, he did not forget to ask the students to find Teacher Xu and Jiang Meishu to tell them to leave first and not to wait any longer.
He wanted to take Jiang Nanfang to find his teacher, so he definitely wouldn't be able to go back for a while.
Jiang Meishu was stunned when she heard the news. She went to see Teacher Xu and asked, "Will the entrance exam take so long?"
It's been three hours and I still can't get out.
Teacher Xu shook his head, "I don't know."
"I'm not a student at HKUST either," he sighed. "My scores on the college entrance exam weren't high enough, so HKUST didn't accept me. I ended up going to a normal college."
This University of Science and Technology is like his white moonlight, an unattainable existence.
He thought for a moment and said to Jiang Meishu, "Since my senior brother said so, let's go first."
"I think Jiangnan Fang must have succeeded. If not, he would have been kicked out in half an hour."
Teacher Xu was right. Jiang Nanfang was taken to the research institute of USTC by Feng Guozhang. Although it was called a research institute, the equipment was very simple, but there were people busy inside.
After Feng Guozhang arrived, he straightened his clothes before knocking on the door. "Junior Brother Chen, please call the teacher for me and tell him that I brought a good seedling here."
Junior Brother Chen looked towards Jiang Nanfang curiously, then ran in quickly to look for someone. After a while, an elderly man with gray hair and a well-dressed Zhongshan suit came out.
"Xiao Feng, if you didn't really send me a good seedling, and you're wasting my time like this, I'll beat you up."
For a person of Mr. Guo's level, every minute is extremely precious.
Feng Guozhang knew his teacher's personality and immediately said, "This student's name is Jiangnan Fang, this year..." He hesitated and asked Jiangnan Fang, "How old are you this year?"
Jiangnan Fang, "Seventeen.
"Yes, I'm seventeen years old this year, in the eighth grade of junior high school. I was recommended by my junior from the middle school. I just took two high school math and physics papers, both of which I got full marks on. Then I took a college physics paper and got 97 points."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Guo's expression changed slightly. "Have you ever studied university physics?"
Jiang Nanfang shook his head and nodded, which confused Mr. Guo.
Jiang Nanfang explained, "I found an old edition of a physics book published in 1958 in the library. I've read it."
If you have seen it, you have learned it.
Now, Mr. Guo's spirits perked up a bit, "Oh, oh, oh, let me test you."
He asked three questions in a row, and Jiangnan Fang answered them all fluently. Although his words were simple, it was obvious that he had mastered the most basic behavioral theory.
This is not easy.
Mr. Guo no longer complained about being pressed for time. He pondered for a moment and called out to the person behind him, "Xiao Chen, go get him the physics papers from our research institute."
Xiao Chen was stunned for a moment, "Teacher, this test paper--" What he wanted to say was that this was for graduate students.
Mr. Guo, “Just go get it.”
Xiao Chen sighed and quickly brought over a set of papers and handed them to Jiang Nanfang. Jiang Nanfang glanced down and frowned, "I don't know."
These questions are too difficult.
Mr. Guo said, "It doesn't matter. You can still try even if you don't know how."
"When you're done, I'll grade it myself."
Now, Jiang Nanfang could only take the test paper and start writing. Many of the knowledge points in it were beyond the syllabus, and he pondered for a long time before doing it. But fortunately, for a genius student, there are patterns in all the questions.
Two hours later, he handed in the paper, "I'm done."
In fact, he still had one-third of the questions left to do, because he didn't know how to do them, so he just left them blank.
He chose to give up and only write about topics that he was sure of success.
Mr. Guo took the paper, and Xiao Chen immediately handed him a stool. He then began to grade the papers. At the end, he was a little surprised. "Sixty-one points."
As soon as these words were spoken, Feng Guozhang was shocked. It was his first time taking this test. He was already a college student, and he scored 43 points.
Jiang Nanfang, a junior high school student, passed the test on his first try!
Feng Guozhang claims to be a genius, but compared to Jiangnan Fang, he is still a long way behind. When Feng Guozhang admires Jiangnan Fang's test scores.
Jiang Nanfang's face flushed red instantly. He snatched the paper away, feeling extremely embarrassed. "I'll do it again!"
He has never scored so low in an exam!
Shameful!
