"You're only 21 years old, you're young." Zhai's father said without raising his head. Now he said it with ease. Four years later, when Zhai Sheng was 25 years old, he didn't even have a girlfriend. , not as calm as now.
On the other side, the results obtained by Mr. Li were certainly correct.
When she went to school to get her report card, Qiao Nan saw a bright red banner hanging at the school gate, which read: Congratulations to our schoolmate Qiao Nan for winning first place in the provincial capital in the high school entrance examination!
"Teacher Li." When she saw the Chinese teacher, Qiao Nan greeted her respectfully.
Teacher Li looked at Qiao Nan, his beloved disciple, whose face turned red and blue, just like a palette. Qiao Nan looked very strange: "Teacher Li, are you feeling unwell today? Do you want to go back and rest first?" "
Anyway, the high school entrance examination is over, and even if the teacher in charge of the third grade of junior high school is on summer vacation, it doesn't matter if Teacher Li doesn't come.
"It's not that I feel uncomfortable physically, I feel uncomfortable in my heart." Teacher Li said angrily: "Do you know where your two points for Chinese language were deducted?"
"..." Qiao Nan's mouth twitched: "I can probably guess a little bit."
"You..." Teacher Li was depressed: "Forget it, compared to the previous semester, you only deducted two points this time, not all, which is a lot of improvement for me." After saying that, Teacher Li revealed his face. A smile uglier than crying.
Qiao Nan's other subjects all got perfect marks, except for Teacher Li's Chinese.
Originally, this situation would be very normal for other students, but it was particularly abnormal for Qiao Nan.
Qiao Nan's essays were all full marks, but two points were deducted for recitation. These two points were like cutting Teacher Li's flesh. It didn't make Teacher Li proud, nor did it make him angry.
But thinking about the jealous looks of his colleagues when they looked at him, Teacher Li felt comfortable again.
The first place in the provincial high school entrance examination is his own student. The teachers of the entire junior high school class (1) will have their salary doubled this time, and the bonus during the Chinese New Year will be much larger than usual.
It's not just for the money. As a teacher, you can teach a few students in your lifetime who can take the first place in the provincial high school entrance examination.
What is this called? This is called luck!
One can imagine how much the teacher who was in the third grade of junior high school liked Qiao Nan.
"Hurry in." He patted Qiao Nan on the shoulder. Teacher Li and Qiao Nan entered the classroom together.
Teacher Chen, who was already in the classroom, had a red face: "I believe that when you entered the school, you have already seen the banner at the school entrance. First of all, let's applaud Qiao Nan. Qiao Nan not only cheered for our freshman Class 3 (1)’s argument brings glory to our entire class, everyone applauds!”
After Teacher Chen finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted in the classroom.
Number one in the provincial capital, let’s face it, I and the number one in the provincial capital were once classmates, what a proud thing this is.
Among the entire class of students, Zhao Yu was the only one who was beaten weakly by his slaps.
"Okay, now everyone, take a look at your scores, and then compare them with last year's high school admissions scores, and carefully consider which high school you want to apply for. After you go back, you can discuss it with your parents before filling out the application form." Teacher Chen asked people to Things were distributed.
When they saw their results, some were happy and some were sad. Some did well and some failed.
"Qiao Nan, come to the office with me." After all the things were handed out, Teacher Chen called Qiao Nan into the office alone: "Have you really thought about it? Have you discussed this matter with your parents?"
"We discussed it and my dad agreed." Qiao Nan filled out her voluntary application in front of Teacher Chen.
After successfully completing Qiao Nan's goal, Teacher Chen breathed a sigh of relief again.
The principal of Pingzhong High School specially said hello, hoping that he would do everything possible to keep Qiao Nan as a student in Pingzhong. If Qiao Nan had any requests, just ask. As long as it is within the allowed range, the school can help find a way.
After hearing what the boss said, Teacher Chen tried his best to help Qiao Nan get better conditions.
After all, after talking to Qiao Nan last time, Teacher Chen probably heard that the current situation of the Qiao family is not very good, and the parents are under great pressure to provide for their two children to study.
Teacher Chen doesn't want a promising youngster like Qiao Nan to have to drop out of school and give up her studies just because her family doesn't have enough money. That would be a real pity.
After knowing Qiao Nan's problem, Teacher Chen had a lot to fight for for Qiao Nan.
"Qiao Nan, this time you ranked first in the provincial capital exam and brought glory to our school. This is the school's reward for you. It's not too much, just one hundred yuan. However, since you have decided to go to Pingzhong to attend high school, Pingzhong The middle and high school departments also have a reward for you, which is two hundred."
Teacher Chen took out two envelopes in succession and handed them to Qiao Nan. The money contained in these two envelopes were the rewards for Qiao Nan from the junior high school and high school respectively.
"As for what you mentioned before, I have already applied. As long as you are willing to go to a middle school, tuition and fees will be free for three years, but you have to pay for the food yourself, and the school cannot cover it. Also, if you go to high school, Your grades are still so good, and the school will give you a scholarship every semester. But by then, there will no longer be such rewards of one hundred or two hundred, do you understand what I mean?"
"Don't worry, Teacher Chen. I understand. This arrangement is good." Qiao Nan smiled. In fact, she was really satisfied with this arrangement. It's only 1993 now. It's not like the 21st century where Mao Zedong just went out to buy something and spent it all.
This three hundred yuan is enough for her to pay tuition for one or two years. What's more, the school has waived her tuition and miscellaneous fees. She can save these three hundred yuan and future scholarships for future college studies. use.
"Qiao Nan, you really stand up for the teacher!" Teacher Chen was a little excited. If Qiao Nan wasn't a girl, Teacher Chen would have wanted to hug Qiao Nan.
Even if Teacher Chen looks at Qiao Nan no differently than he looks at his own daughter, she is still a grown-up girl and it is not convenient for Teacher Chen to do so.
"No, it's Teacher Chen and other teachers who teach well."
"I don't usually open my mouth, but I'm pretty good at pleasing people when I talk. Okay, let's go back. Remember to keep the money and don't lose it."
"Thank you, Teacher Chen. Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Chen." Qiao Nan bowed to Teacher Chen sincerely, and then left with the three hundred yuan awarded to her by the school.
"Hey, the female number one scholar in our compound is back? Nan Nan, if you have time during the summer vacation, teach our Juan'er so that she can come back first in the high school entrance examination."
When the eldest mother in the compound saw Qiao Nan, her eyes showed envy and she said sourly.
Qiao Nan smiled indifferently, shook her head, and walked home.
