Chapter 66 Chapter 66 Results Released
After the entrance examination, the children in the school have a short vacation.
Similar to modern parents, ancient parents also asked their children the same question.
"How many points do you think you can get in the exam?"
Shi Tou thought about it and left some room for himself.
After all, the scoring of essays is very subjective. He wrote that it was raining heavily and his mother carried him to the clinic for medical treatment. It is hard to say whether he could get full marks.
When Kang Zhuqing heard that her son's composition was about this incident, she exclaimed, "You kid! You wrote about this on such an important exam!"
Although he said he didn't care, he was actually very happy.
Of course, Stone has embellished this incident.
Because later it turned out that he didn't have a fever at all, he was just suffocated by the quilt.
I have been busy studying during this period and haven't seen Guo Zi for a long time.
Shitou wanted to go to the suburban fields to meet Guo Zi by chance, but he waited for two days but didn't see him, so he must be not in Li County.
I guess the first batch of children in the manor are already working for the county lord, which is not so easy to see.
Apart from hanging out with a few classmates, Shitou spends the rest of his time cooking and doing housework at home.
While washing clothes in the yard, I could occasionally hear the voices of Mrs. Jiang, Mr. Wang and their son talking next door.
"Son, tell me, what score can you get in the exam?"
"I...how would I know that?"
Madam Jiang took a deep breath. "The family next door, Shitou, estimated their score to be 196, and your aunt's sister's cousin's daughter estimated her score to be 194. How about I take you there to check your answers?"
"When the scores come out, we'll post the list! What's the point of knowing it now?"
"Okay, okay, my son will definitely be able to get into that technical school. When he graduates, he can go straight to work in a workshop."
Shitou continued rubbing clothes. He thought to himself, the boy next door was in the same exam room as him. He couldn't finish his Chinese composition, and he almost fell asleep during the math test. He never passed the math quiz, and a total score of 100 was considered high.
Lan Niang was a sure thing for further study, so Zuo You and Ting Yu had done some psychological work on her before the exams, fearing that the child herself might not want to go, which would be troublesome.
During the seven-day holiday, Lan Niang washed clothes, cooked, and took care of her younger siblings at home, and her mother and father felt a lot more relaxed.
It would be great if Lan Niang didn’t go to school.
They thought.
Wouldn't it be nice to raise her at home until she is 19, and then have her work as a female worker and find someone to marry?
He insisted on studying and was so good at it.
Guan Shang has the county lady's opinion, and they cannot interfere with Lan Niang's decision at all. If Lan Niang really doesn't go to school, their days will be almost over.
This ancestor still needs to be worshipped.
Xu Yan didn't do any housework at home for the past seven days. Her parents felt sorry for her because she was working hard for the exam. Xu Chuo received rewards for suppressing bandits and would bring back a piece of mutton, rabbit or something like that from time to time.
But she had only one request: she was not allowed to meet Gan An.
Xu Yan didn't understand. They were classmates, so why didn't her brother object to her meeting Shi Tou?
So Xu Yan asked why.
Xu Chuo said with a cold face, "No means no."
Xu Chuo also didn't treat Gan Lang well during training.
But Gan Lang couldn't notice it at all and thought Xu Chuo was too tired from training.
He even wanted to share with Xu Chuo his experience of being a brother.
"Your Ah Yan will definitely go to college, but my Gan An may not even be able to go to a technical school. If he really can't pass the exam, let him go home and farm." Gan Lang sighed.
Xu Chuo was even more disdainful in his heart. He couldn't even get into a technical school and was not worthy of Xu Yan at all.
Six days passed, and the next morning was the time to post the results.
People who study well are confident and basically have nothing to worry about. People who study poorly have even less to worry about. Only those who are neither good nor bad are the most worried.
After Tingyu and Zuoyou corrected the scores, they discussed it with Liang Nian and Lin Si.
The admission score is 190 points, and the technical school score is 120 points.
Lin Si thought he had set the passing score very low. For such a simple question, if he couldn't even reach the passing line in two subjects, then he was really not cut out for studying. He didn't listen carefully in class, and he might not be able to learn blacksmithing or carpentry even if he learned it.
As for those who scored below 120 points, they can only get a diploma and go home to do what they need to do.
Zuo You marveled at the convenience of movable type printing, as she and Tingyu no longer had to copy the list by hand.
Only students who have passed the admission line have specific scores on the list. The rest have passed the technical school. Those without names have not passed.
As soon as the list was posted, crowds of people gathered around, some to check their children's results, and some just to watch the fun.
Some people who did not attend night school and could not read asked the people next to them to read to them.
Everyone looked up and said, "First place, Wen Lanniang, 200 points!"
"This 200 points is the full score, right? No points were deducted?"
"Whose daughter is this? She's so powerful?"
"The one from the Wen family, his wife works in a textile workshop, and he has two little kids at home. Don't you remember him?"
“This is really amazing.”
"Sister, you got full marks!" Yue Niang stood on tiptoe and looked at Lan Niang with admiration.
She was surrounded by voices of praise, which made her feel a little embarrassed.
From childhood to adulthood, she had never been praised by her parents. It was only after she went to school that she was praised by her teachers and classmates.
And now, she is praised by many strangers. It turns out this is what it feels like to be praised by so many people.
After everyone was surprised at the first place, they looked down and saw that the second place was Shitou, with 197 points, and the third place was Xu Yan, with 196 points.
"I know Shi Tou! He's the younger brother of Team Leader Shi from the textile factory."
"Isn't this Madam Kang's son?"
"Shitou was so naughty when he was little, but he has become a successful person now."
"Who is Xu Yan, the third place?"
"It's the Hu people who came to the county a few years ago, the young lady with the particularly big eyes."
"I remember, I remember. Back then, they couldn't even speak Chinese. And now they've ranked third in the exam?"
Everyone said that they envied Kang Zhuqing's family because both of their children had become successful.
When the results were released, some were happy while others were worried. Compared to the admission score line, many parents and children were more concerned about whether the technical school had passed the line.
Everyone looked down and found that there were no scores, only the names of those who passed the technical school.
Someone saw the name and shouted happily, "I passed! I passed! Mom, I passed!"
If you didn’t know, you would have thought he was in the top three.
"My name is here. That's great. I was scared because it was put in the last row. I almost thought I didn't pass." Gan An patted his chest. He was scared to death just now. If he couldn't even get into the technical school, then it would be really over. He would definitely be beaten up by his brother.
For ordinary people, technical schools are also a good place to go. As long as you study hard, you can go directly to the workshop and get a job after graduation.
You have to know that in ancient times, blacksmiths and carpenters were inherited crafts and were monopolized by aristocratic families.
Madam Jiang and her husband, Mr. Wang, were illiterate, so they could only ask their son, "Did you pass the exam? Is your name on this list?"
The Wang family's son had already looked three times, but his name wasn't on the list of qualified students for the technical school. He could only shrink his neck and whisper, "No...no."
The family could only leave in disgrace.
The top three in this exam will receive a generous scholarship, which can be regarded as Lin Si’s encouragement to them, and also lets the people of Li County know that it is beneficial to let children study.
Shi Tou breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the result. It was not much different from his estimate. Fortunately, he did not arrogantly say 199 or 200, otherwise he would be embarrassed.
When Kang Zhuqing saw that Shitou came in second, she was so happy that she almost jumped up. She was happy for Shitou, Lan Niang, and Xu Yan.
She knew all three.
Kang Zhuqing looked down at the names of the students who passed the technical school, but did not see the name next to him.
As expected, I failed the exam, Kang Zhuqing thought.
Back home, Kang Zhuqing could finally speak freely, "Whatever you want to eat today, mother will buy it for you."
Shi Tu also agreed, "Yes, yes, yes, whether it's mutton or pork belly, as long as you want to eat it, I will buy it for you today no matter how much it costs."
"I'm going to the academy later to get my scholarship and diploma. I'll use the scholarship to buy some ribs. My sister loves them."
"Okay, okay, my son has really grown up."
After praising Shitou, Kang Zhuqing couldn't help but talk about the people next door. "How many people didn't make it to the technical school this time?"
Shitou recalled, "Not many, no more than ten anyway."
Shi Tu: "He couldn't even get into this technical school. He's definitely not cut out for studying."
Shitou spoke the truth, "That's because I didn't study hard enough. Those questions aren't that difficult. If I just listened carefully, I wouldn't fail the Technical School exam."
Lan Niang received a scholarship at school, and the first place winner received half a string of silver coins.
Lan Niang is no longer the Lan Niang she used to be. She has learned to be smarter. She first handed a hundred coins to Zuo You, saying that she would keep it there temporarily as tuition for future studies, just in case, and would take the rest home.
There were still four hundred coins left, and she would not hand it all over. She kept two hundred coins for herself, intending to buy some meat for herself and Yue Niang from time to time.
As long as her mother and father were dissatisfied, she didn't have to mention the county lord. She just needed to say Teacher Zuo's name and they would be obedient in an instant.
Lan Niang came to Gong Jingxiu's stall with money to buy meat. This was her first time to buy meat.
Gong Jingxiu's daughter Bu Yi also passed the entrance examination score line, and Lan Niang often helped her with the questions.
Gong Jingxiu refused to accept the money, but Lan Niang forced it on her. "Just take it, and let me try buying meat with my own money."
Only then was Gong Jingxiu willing to accept the money.
After receiving the money, she asked Lan Niang, "Lan Niang, what have you thought about doing after you go to school? There are so many choices after you go to school."
Lan Niang smiled implicitly, "Maybe we should start with Bai Zhi."
Teacher Zuo and Teacher Tingyu had talked to her about this. Starting as Baizhi was considered as training at the grassroots level, and there would be plenty of opportunities for promotion in the future.
The reason why Gong Jingxiu asked this question was because Bu Yi said it with confidence.
She wants to study medicine.
Gong Jingxiu was worried. Why did her daughter want to study this? There were so many choices after graduation, such as teacher, housekeeper, and housekeeper.
Why do you want to study medicine?
Studying medicine is so hard. There are so many books to memorize. By the time others have graduated, she is still studying in the hospital.
Gong Jingxiu even brought up the fact that studying medicine requires dissecting corpses to scare Buyi.
Who knew that Bu Yi was completely unmoved, "Mother, I've watched you slaughter pigs since I was a child. How could you be afraid of dissecting a corpse? It's all bones and meat. There's no difference to me."
Gong Jingxiu: That’s true.
Bu Yi took a step forward and held Gong Jingxiu's hand and said coquettishly, "Mother, please let me go to school. I want to study medicine. I really want to study."
