Chapter 533: First Very Tired (Fifteenth Update)
Cao Yuda laughed out loud at what she said, and said calmly: "I wonder if classmate Tong has heard of the story of the frog in the well?
Although Hongwei Textile Affiliated Middle School is one of the best in Shanghai, there are other schools in other cities of Xiahua outside Shanghai.
Why do you think you are invincible?
Besides, grades don’t necessarily represent ability. Let me ask you, besides studying, what else can you do?”
Tong Yuqing was so angry that her cheeks puffed up, "I don't think I'm invincible, it's just that in our junior high school, I really haven't met many opponents.
Isn’t a student’s job to study?
Do you have time to do anything else besides studying?"
She clicked her tongue twice and continued, "Everyone knows that your classmate Cao never puts down his books and recites them even before he goes to sleep, but you are always ten minutes behind me."
Cao Yuda was not angry at all, "I hope you can always maintain your advantage."
"Of course!"
"Let's go after dinner. You have a heavy task to do," Cao Yuda tried to hold back the angry Di Guoliang.
"This girl is so irritating! Classmate Cao, don't take her words to heart." Di Guoliang was afraid that Cao Yuda would be sad, so he quickly explained: "I'm not like what she said. I'll just look for you as a second choice..."
"What she said is true," Cao Yuda raised his eyebrows, "Okay, I don't take it to heart, what are you thinking, a big fool like you?
Instead of thinking about this, you might as well memorize a few more words. "
"Memorize, memorize words?" Di Guoliang suddenly became dispirited.
"Yes," Cao Yuda nodded, "Chinese and mathematics are required for primary school students, and other subjects in junior high school, such as English, history, geography, politics, and biology, are only offered from the first year of junior high school, and most of them involve memorization.
You have to start memorizing it from today!"
The two of them did not go home, but found a corner in the cafeteria to start studying.
The elementary school stuff was very simple, and after Cao Yuda only pointed a few times, Di Guoliang understood it all.
He spent half an hour doing exercises to improve his mental arithmetic skills, and another half an hour memorizing and reciting all the words in the first volume of the first grade textbook.
Cao Yuda had already written down the tasks for him in the afternoon.
In this month, Di Guoliang had to memorize words and formulas every time he ate, slept, exercised, or went to the toilet. He didn't dare to waste every minute or every second, for fear that he would not be able to enter the top 100 and make Cao Yuda be laughed at and ridiculed by his classmates.
Because he was studying hard, he naturally had no time to go to the Zhong family to perform with Zhong Meixuan.
The two old people in the Zhong family looked forward to the meeting day and night, but the man still refused to come. And because Mrs. Zhong had a "mild cold and felt unwell all over", they could only postpone the meeting time again and again.
No matter what, the second day of the Chinese New Year is the day when Zhong Meixuan takes the baby back to her parents' home. Di Guoliang can't refuse again, right?
As the exams approached, students were desperately trying to cram in material in order to get a better ranking. This was a big deal that would determine whether they could spend the New Year in peace.
However, students want to avoid their parents' eyes and have more money to spend, so they start organizing parties a week in advance.
Students who are average or lagging behind in academic performance will bet on who has made the most progress; students who are at the top of their class will bet on whether they will make progress or regress; and students who are top of their class will even bet on what place they will rank.
Due to the control of the school and teachers, students dare not go too far and can only control themselves.
Di Guoliang mentally calculated how much he would have to spend between now and the end of the exam and when he got his results, and put all the remaining forty yuan into his own pocket, hoping to make the most progress and move up by at least seven hundred and forty places.
Cao Yuda pulled him aside, handed him the hundred yuan he had saved from his own piggy bank, and said in a very low voice, "This is my money, you can use it to pressure yourself. The profit will belong to me."
Di Guoliang hesitated, "Student Cao, do you have so much confidence in me?"
"Of course," Cao Yuda nodded, and said coldly, "If you lose, just take it as a lesson. You don't have to learn from me in the future."
Di Guoliang shuddered, gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, I will never let your hundred dollars go to waste!"
So he pretended to grope in his pocket again, and finally took out a thick wad of money from his two socks and handed it to the buyer.
Everyone couldn't help laughing when they saw this, "Student Di, we understand that you want to win the grand prize, but can you be more pragmatic?
But if you don't care about money and are willing to be a money-giving boy, we will be happy to help you!"
"Head to head, classmate Di really treats us as ordinary poor students and thinks we have no fighting ability at all, right?"
"It must be classmate Cao who gave him the courage!"
Di Guoliang raised his eyebrows and crossed his chest and said, "What's the matter? You guys don't allow me to bet on the game?"
"Allowed, allowed. The more you put in, the greater your contribution to your classmates," everyone chuckled and continued to take out their own piggy banks.
With Di Guoliang in front, everyone was inexplicably confident in themselves and invested more money in the small treasury than usual.
Such small adjustments encourage students to study harder.
With the arrival of the first snow in Shanghai, Hongwei Textile Factory started the final exams for the first grade of junior high school, which lasted for three and a half days.
After the exam, Di Guoliang was not idle either. He began to study with Cao Yuda around the clock.
His foundation was too weak and it could not be consolidated in just one month, not to mention the five new subjects added to junior high school.
Thanks to Cao Yuda's final marking of key points and prediction of test questions, Di Guoliang felt good about the exam.
In just five days, everyone returned to school to get their grades.
The grades of all students were printed out on a list, which included detailed information such as the names of the first to the last 840 students, their total ranking, total scores, scores in each subject, ranking of their subject scores, and even their previous scores.
Di Guoliang was tall and had exceptionally good eyesight. He looked through the crowd, starting from the first place.
When he saw Tong Yuqing's name, he curled his lips and turned his head to look at Cao Yuda who was buried in the crowd, "Student Cao, you usually study high school courses. You are obviously very capable, why can't you get first place?"
Cao Yuda pushed the frame of his glasses with his white hands. "Being the number one is very tiring. You always have to worry about being overtaken by others, and they are obvious targets. I don't want to be the number one!"
Di Guoliang was stunned.
He never thought that it was because of this reason that Cao gave up the first place. If Tong Yuqing knew about it, she would definitely be furious.
But think about it, Cao is indeed the kind of person who doesn't like trouble.
To this day, Di Guoliang still feels like it's a dream that Cao accepted his tutoring.
It seems that I am the only one who is close to classmate Cao.
"Student Cao, why did you agree to tutor me?" he couldn't help but ask out loud.
Cao Yuda glanced at him and said calmly: "You brought the money to my door yourself. If I push it away, I'd be a fool."
