Gu Rong shook his head.
Pei Tiantian patted her chest with her little fleshy hands and said confidently: "Of course not, only a fool would fall into the trap."
"Fool" Ding Qiang was stunned at first, and then his face turned pale.
He always remembered that the answer to that question was C, so he didn't even look at the numbers during the test and just chose C and left.
As a result, Ma Xiangdong said that the options had changed.
Then isn't option C the correct answer?
Ding Qiang's lips trembled.
It’s over, it’s over, he was deducted ten points again.
"Ding Qiang, what about you? You didn't even get the points for this easy question, did you?"
Ma Xiangdong noticed that Ding Qiang looked strange and asked in a deep voice.
"I...I, Teacher Ma..." Ding Qiang hesitated and couldn't make out what he meant for a long time.
Ma Xiangdong still had something to not understand, so he sighed, "You! You scored 10 points on one question, and you just lost it like that."
"Teacher Ma, you can't blame me for this. The questions this time were not good at all. There were traps in the public questions. Isn't it obvious that they don't allow people to get high scores?"
Ding Qiang felt aggrieved.
Pei Tiantian's mouth twitched.
Ding Qiang is quite fond of making excuses. He blames others for not doing the questions seriously because he did not do them well.
Ma Xiangdong glanced at him and said mercilessly: "On the contrary, this shows that the test paper is very well designed, otherwise how could you get it wrong?"
Ding Qiang was speechless for a moment.
Ma Xiangdong waved his hand and said, "Forget it. As long as you have tried your best, it's good. The result is not important. You all should go back to the classroom and prepare for class."
Ding Qiang walked out of the office dejectedly, while Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong walked slowly to the back.
Pei Tiantian shouted to Ding Qiang, "Class monitor, did you forget to give something to Teacher Ma?"
When Ding Qiang heard Pei Tiantian's voice, he immediately understood that Pei Tiantian was talking about the review.
He turned his head warily and glared at her fiercely, "I warn you, don't mention this in front of Teacher Ma, do you hear me!"
After saying that, Ding Qiang snorted coldly, turned his head and walked forward quickly.
Pei Tiantian curled her lips.
I knew this guy was going to default on his debt.
Ding Qiang returned to the classroom and sat down depressed.
He didn't take the review seriously at all. Now all he was thinking about was his competition results.
The percentage of candidates who advance to the finals from the preliminary round is 35%. Last year's passing score was 60 points. He has already lost 30 points. If he gets one more question wrong out of the ten, it will be dangerous.
Ding Qiang was quite uneasy.
I have participated in several sessions, but this is the first time that I can't even pass the preliminary round.
When he thought of this, Ding Qiang felt ashamed and didn't even listen seriously in class.
But what he didn't expect was yet to come.
During the afternoon self-study class, Tao Jing and Chen Juan passed by Ma Xiangdong's office and told him what happened in the city competition and asked him whether he had received Ding Qiang's self-review.
Only then did Ma Xiangdong realize what had happened.
"Teacher Tao, Teacher Chen, I'm sorry that my student has caused you trouble."
Tao Jing shook her head. "It's not a problem. The most important thing is to make the students realize that they are wrong. Otherwise, it will be bad if something like this happens again next time."
Ma Xiangdong nodded, and after Tao Jing and Chen Juan left, he went to the classroom and called Ding Qiang over.
Ask him directly where the review he wrote is.
Ding Qiang blurted out subconsciously: "Did Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong tell you that?"
Ma Xiangdong looked at him with disappointment, "No, it was the team leader who found me and told me about it."
Ding Qiang felt very depressed.
It was such a small matter, but Tao Jing and Chen Juan actually came to complain to Ma Xiangdong. Is it that serious?
He said carefully: "Teacher Ma, don't be angry, I just forgot for a moment, and besides, it's not a big deal."
"Forgot? It's only been two days since last Saturday, how could you have forgotten? Ding Qiang, do you think the teacher is a fool?"
"Teacher Ma, I'll write it now, don't be angry."
"You said it's not a big deal, and it's really not a big deal, but Ding Qiang, don't you understand? What made the teacher angry? The most important thing is your attitude. You refused to admit your mistakes and kept it secret from the teacher. You didn't even write the self-criticism you were supposed to write, and you're still the monitor of our class. Tell me, do you still look like a monitor?"
Ma Xiangdong's tone became heavier, and his voice echoed throughout the office.
Just at this moment, several students with homework came to the office door, and they all looked at Ding Qiang in surprise.
I didn't expect to see Ma Xiangdong scolding Ding Qiang.
When Ding Qiang saw those familiar classmates, his face turned pale and he clenched his fists in defiance.
Ma Xiangdong handed the homework to the students. He turned around and saw Ding Qiang's unconvinced look. He became even angrier: "Reflect on yourself. Come back to me when you realize you are wrong!"
Ding Qiang returned to the classroom in a daze. He sat there for a while before the bell rang and school was dismissed.
He packed his bag and prepared to leave when he saw Fang Yun throw the class log on his desk with a "pop". "Ding Qiang, can't you do your own things? You are the student committee member, why do you want me to write the class log for you? This has happened so many times!"
Ding Qiang was feeling annoyed. He sneered, "As a deputy monitor, you should obey my arrangements unconditionally. If you don't want to do it, then don't be the monitor. I will tell Teacher Ma tomorrow. There are plenty of people willing to be the monitor anyway!"
The next moment, Ding Qiang suddenly met the eyes of the man at the door. He stood there in a daze, and couldn't help shaking all over.
Ma Xiangdong was about to leave, but he remembered that he was deducted points in the class hygiene inspection last week, so he came to the classroom today to check how they were cleaning. However, he heard Ding Qiang's words before he even stepped into the classroom.
How could Ding Qiang say such a thing? Was he pretending to be well-behaved and obedient in front of him before?
Ma Xiangdong frowned suddenly and said in a deep voice: "Ding Qiang, Fang Yun, come to my office."
Fang Yun let out a "ha".
I didn't expect that Ding Qiang, who usually likes to put on airs, would fail like this.
She was in a very good mood and quickly followed Ma Xiangdong out.
Ding Qiang's legs felt like they were filled with lead, and he moved reluctantly step by step out of the classroom.
Ma Xiangdong personally asked Fang Yun what Ding Qiang had done in the class before.
Fang Yun immediately started to talk nonstop, for example, he always assigned the tasks that he was supposed to do to other class cadres, and every time it was his turn to be on duty, he would use his position as class monitor to force other students to do the work for him, and he always liked to take credit for other people's work...
Fang Yun, who always hated Ding Qiang, talked a lot about little things like this.
With every thing he said, Ma Xiangdong's face became darker, until it was as black as the bottom of a pot.
Ding Qiang immediately denied it vehemently, but he had already lost his credibility with Ma Xiangdong.
Ma Xiangdong did not believe any of his excuses. Instead, based on what Fang Yun said, he went to ask his classmates for clarification.
This indirectly proves that everything Fang Yun said was true.
Two days later, Ma Xiangdong announced in class that Ding Qiang had been dismissed.
The class monitor is directly appointed by the deputy class monitor Fang Yun, and the study committee member is Xu Guozhu, a student with good grades in the class.
Ding Qiang was forced to apologize for his past behavior in front of the whole class.
Pei Tiantian was watching Ding Qiang from the audience, looking so embarrassed that he wanted to find a hole to crawl into, and she found it indescribably funny.
Ever since this incident happened, Ding Qiang has become an "ordinary person" in the class. He has become listless, his presence in the class has become much less, he has started to behave himself, and no longer has the energy to mock Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong.
Pei Tiantian was very satisfied that there was one less noisy fly around her.
Soon, the scores of the preliminary rounds will be available for checking.
Just as Pei Tiantian guessed, both she and Gu Rong scored 100 points.
The cut-off score for entering the finals has also been announced. Because the difficulty is higher than last year, the cut-off score for the senior elementary school group has been lowered by ten points. This year's cut-off score is 50 points.
Among the twenty-five classmates who participated in the competition with Pei Tiantian, six of them entered the finals.
Of course, Ding Qiang was also included, and he scored 60 points.
He was originally happy about having made it to the finals, but the next moment he heard that Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong had scored full marks. Before the smile on Ding Qiang's face could be subsided, he completely shut himself in.
He deeply realized that the gap between himself and Gu Rong and Pei Tiantian was too big.
Pei Tiantian already knew her score, so she was not very excited when she got the result.
After telling the Pei family the results, they were happy for a while, but it didn't cause as much of a sensation as the school. After all, there were only eight people in the city who scored 100 points, and they didn't expect that a small township primary school like theirs would take up two places.
What an incredible thing this is.
Last year, the student with the highest score here was Ding Qiang, who scored 70 points. This year, there were two students who scored full marks.
Not to mention Ma Xiangdong, even the school leaders were extremely satisfied.
Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong also had their names mentioned in front of the principal, who personally praised them at the flag-raising ceremony and wished them better results in the finals.
The next finals are scheduled for March next year, so there are still several months to go.
As she was about to face the final exam, Pei Tiantian put the China Cup competition aside for the time being.
After the final exam, about a week later, the results came out.
The first place in the class is Gu Rong and the second place is Pei Tiantian.
Gu Rong scored 100 in both subjects, and Pei Tiantian also scored full marks in mathematics, but two points were deducted for her Chinese composition, so she ranked second in the overall score.
The total score of the two of them was far ahead of everyone else in the class. The third place was not Ding Qiang, but the new study committee member Xu Guozhu.
His total score is 188 points.
Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong went to school to collect their report cards and winter vacation homework. They were also rewarded with several bags of snacks, and Ma Xiangdong put little red flowers on their chests.
Only the top ten students in the class can get the little red flower.
Gu Rong was the first, so he had two little red flowers on his chest, while the others only had one little red flower.
When the top ten students in the class all came on stage, Pei Tiantian realized that Ding Qiang was not among the top ten.
She subconsciously looked at the ranking posted on the wall and saw Ding Qiang's name in the middle of the list.
Ding Qiang's grades have dropped so much.
It seems that being dismissed from his class position was indeed a big blow to him.
Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong returned home wearing little red flowers. Many people saw them on the road and turned their eyes to them.
In addition, the fact that he had scored full marks in the previous competition was also known to everyone in the village.
The people in the village then realized that Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong were really smart, and they skipped grades based on their real abilities, not by paying money.
So they all praised Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong one by one, and some even couldn't help but run to Pei's house to ask Wang Ruizhen how they taught their children.
Wang Ruizhen said confidently that there was no other way, because Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong were so smart because they were born that way.
This made those who came leave in shame.
After hearing this, Pei Tiantian just smiled.
She no longer cared about the villagers' opinions.
These people always believe what they hear, have no opinions of their own, and change their attitude at any time.
Pei Tiantian no longer has any temper with them, let them do whatever they want.
She was too lazy to care about them anyway.
This year the Chinese New Year was celebrated earlier, at the end of January. On New Year's Eve, the Pei family prepared a large and sumptuous dinner.
Pei Tiantian ate so much that her belly was round and bulging, and then she left the table.
After the feast, everyone gathered around the brazier happily, some eating melon seeds and some eating candies.
Pei Tiantian was also chattering with Gu Rong.
Only Wang Ruizhen's eyes were looking out the window. She seemed absent-minded, and even her smile seemed forced.
Pei Zhiwen knew that Wang Ruizhen was probably thinking about Pei Zhiqin.
Ever since Pei Zhiqin had her last miscarriage, she seemed to blame the Pei family for this incident and was unwilling to have any dealings with them.
During this year's Chinese New Year, Pei Zhiqin didn't send anything, not even a letter, and she just didn't come back.
It seems like he is clearly trying to draw a line between himself and them.
This made Pei Zhiwen feel a little heartbroken, let alone Wang Ruizhen.
Pei Zhiwen patted Pei Tiantian's little head and said, "Tiantian, go talk to your grandma."
Pei Tiantian also sensed something, and she ran over with her short legs, threw herself into Wang Ruizhen's arms, hugged her neck, and called her "milk" affectionately.
When Wang Ruizhen felt the soft baby in her arms and the pair of pure, watery eyes, her heart softened.
"My dear, what's the matter?"
"Don't be sad, Tiantian loves you the most. Tiantian will never leave you."
Pei Tiantian nestled in Wang Ruizhen's arms and spoke in a baby voice, then kissed her on the cheek.
Wang Ruizhen's eyes moistened immediately, and she hugged Pei Tiantian tightly with both hands, "Your little darling is still the best. I'm not sad. I'm happy to have a little girl like you by my side!"
Pei Tiantian smiled.
She remembered that it was this year that Li Jianguo, who sold counterfeit luxury goods, was thrown into prison and his property was confiscated because the country launched a vigorous crackdown on the counterfeit and shoddy market.
