Chapter 528 Please Help (10th Update)
"You're already an adult, just go to and from school by yourself. I'm busy and can't take care of you," Pei Donggang felt powerless. No matter what he said, this seemingly naive child could always interrupt him.
"Dad, don't you welcome me?" Di Guoliang curled his lips. "When I knew that I had my father, mother, brother and sister to accompany me for the past two months, I was very happy.
If I have done anything to displease you, please tell me and I will change it."
Although he is tall and strong, he has inherited Di Mu's true teachings, and his sad and aggrieved tone is particularly appealing. Moreover, he is a martyr's relative, which gives him an advantage in character setting.
"No, never mind. If you want to follow me, just follow me," Pei Dong just gulped down a bowl of boiled water and felt that his throat was about to be cut by the extremely dry pot stickers.
His agreement also meant that his plan to feed Di Guoliang coarse grains alone had failed.
Di Guoliang carried his junior high school textbooks and followed Pei Donggang to school. When they passed the supply and marketing cooperative, he pulled Pei Donggang and said with a smile: "Dad, I don't think I have bought stationery and notebooks yet."
Pei Donggang went in numbly and served this little ancestor well.
The Shanghai Hongwei Textile Factory is very large, and its scale is ranked among the top in the country. Naturally, there are many workers and a considerable number of children.
The factory established its own school integrating elementary, junior high and high schools, and hired experienced teachers with high school education or above, making the Hongwei Textile Factory Affiliated School one of the top ten key schools in Shanghai.
Because they had the letter of certification issued by the program team, the principal did not make things too difficult for them and directly asked someone to process the borrowing procedures for them.
However, Di Guoliang still had a mission to complete, so he took the initiative to request a baseline test.
He had a poor foundation and the teaching level in the countryside was limited, so he did terrible on the papers and was quickly identified as a poor student and the object of special attention by all subject teachers.
Even before he officially joined the class, he had already become a hot topic in the school because of his sturdy physique.
The turmoil has long passed, and the school has begun to focus on student learning and admission rates to provide excellent successors to the factory.
The school affiliated to the textile factory has opened key classes since junior high school, and students are divided into classes according to their academic performance. The poor students are in Class 16, and the class will move forward from there until the top 60 students in the grade are gathered in Class 1, which is the Red Flag!
The textile factory was wealthy, and in order to encourage the children to study, they took out a little bit of their performance revenue as scholarships.
The first place in the class in the monthly exam can get two yuan, the top 200 in the grade can get a one yuan reward, the top 100 can get two yuan, the top 50 can get five yuan, the top 10 can get ten yuan, the top five can get fifteen yuan, the third place can get twenty yuan, the second place can get thirty yuan, and the first place can get fifty yuan. The intensity of the reward is so great that it completely mobilizes the children to work hard to catch up in their studies.
After all, the awards can be accumulated. The top scorer can get 130 yuan a month, which is almost equivalent to the salary of a middle-level leader in a factory!
What's more, there are bonuses for improvement, one place is worth ten cents. There are 800 to 900 students in the grade, so there is a lot of room for improvement.
The kids are crazy and the parents are crazy too.
When Di Guoliang learned the news, he was stunned for a moment. He thought, he must learn it!
He wants to earn money to buy beautiful clothes for his mother.
However, he only has two months to face three formal exams: the final exam, the pre-semester test and the first monthly exam.
The children give most of their bonuses to their parents. In order not to discourage their enthusiasm for learning, the parents still leave them a little pocket money.
Students are also very smart. In order to make money, they set up small gambling games before each exam. However, due to the gambling connotation, teachers and leaders intentionally control it, so students can only put pressure on themselves and let this become a means of encouragement.
Di Guoliang is tall and strong, with a simple and honest expression of a country boy on his face, so he is easily treated as a fool or a bumpkin by children of the same age.
With his bewildered, admiring and yearning look on his face, his classmates talked a lot to him about it. However, within just one morning, he had become an official younger brother of the Green Tiger Gang, a gang of poor students, and had received all kinds of snacks from a group of "big guys".
Di Guoliang also knew that the top scorer in the first grade of junior high school was a well-behaved and pretty girl named Tong Yuqing. He was also taken by a group of "big brothers" to see the appearance of the little top scorer.
The little girl was fair and tender, with baby fat on her cheeks and a slender figure. She was wearing a dark blue ivory buttoned tweed jacket, a black woolen skirt, and brown leather boots.
She had a pair of short four-strand braids and wore a white furry hat, like a little white rabbit that had come into the mortal world.
It's really lovable.
However, as soon as school was over at noon, Di Guoliang followed her. Seeing her friends saying goodbye to her one after another, he took a shortcut and stood in front of her, bowing solemnly: "Tong Yuqing, hello, I am Di Guoliang, who just came to the school to study, and I am currently in class 16.
I would like to ask you for a favor.”
Tong Yuqing was startled. The boy in front of her was almost half an adult. He was tall, with dark skin that made his white teeth stand out.
Di Guoliang's smile is a little silly and simple, but it doesn't make people feel disgusted. He is like a brown bear with a strong cuteness.
Tong Yuqing coughed softly, and tried to hide the panic and fear in her heart, "Student Di, what's the matter?
My home is just ahead, and my parents are waiting for me to come home for dinner.
If I delay, they will surely come out to look for me.”
"Tong, I would like you to tutor me. Of course, I will give you half of my bonus," Di Guoliang offered an attractive offer, scratched his head shyly, and continued, "I just took the entrance exam today, and I got a total of 263 points in seven subjects.
According to my deskmate, I will definitely be the top scorer in the first grade."
There were additional questions in Chinese, math and English, and the full score was 120. The other four subjects were 100 each, and the total score was 760. He only scored more than 260 points, and the average score for each subject was only more than 30 points. He could get this score with his eyes closed.
Because the bonuses set by the factory for the school are so generous, and are accompanied by various stationery distribution, the children are very motivated to study. Besides, the teaching staff is good enough, so even if the poor students are placed in other schools, they will be average students.
So his grades were really at the bottom.
Di Guoliang counted on his fingers and told her:
"Student Tong, although I'm not the smartest person, I'm not incredibly stupid either.
Before, I was young and ignorant, and I didn’t study hard enough to avoid the trouble at home, so I missed the basics.
If you help me to improve my basics, my academic performance will definitely improve like a rocket!
Besides, this is only the first semester of the first year of junior high school, and the things to learn are simple. I am confident that I can get into the top 100 in my grade!"
