Tang Xiu breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously as the Chinese test ended without any danger. Although he had not yet received the standard answer, Tang Xiu was confident that he could score more than 140 points in the Chinese test.
After lunch, Tang Xiu did not go back to the dormitory to rest. Instead, he left the school and went into the provincial library opposite the school.
As early as half a month ago, Tang Xiu was no longer satisfied with the knowledge in textbooks and spent all day in the school library.
Later, when Tang Xiu learned that he could enter the provincial library with a borrowing card from the school library, and that the provincial library's collection of books was hundreds of times that of the school library, he decisively abandoned the school library and lingered in the provincial library every day. pavilion.
Tang Xiu entered the provincial library not only to study, but also to confirm many ideas in his mind to determine his future cultivation direction.
In the afternoon math test, Tang Xiu handed in the paper in just half an hour.
Tang Xiu's act of handing in the paper caused an uproar. You must know that the school specifically increased the difficulty of the exam in order to increase the study pressure for the senior high school students.
However, Tang Xiu actually handed in the paper within half an hour. From the perspective of others, there was only one possibility, that is, Tang Xiu felt that the test paper was too difficult and simply gave up.
"Although this math test is very difficult, Tang Xiu shouldn't give up on it. He has betrayed Teacher Han's trust in him."
"Hey, Teacher Han is definitely going to lose this time. Although she says she doesn't care about the several thousand yuan salary, I feel uncomfortable when I think of Hu Qiu Sheng's arrogant and proud smile."
After the two invigilators watched Tang Xiu leave, they couldn't help but whisper.
After the first day of exams, the senior high school students had a heated discussion. Tang Xiu did not participate in it. Instead, he practiced repeated exercises and deduced the vast sea of exercises in his mind.
When the last technique and combat technique in his mind was declared a failure, Tang Xiu couldn't help but show a look of decadence on his face.
"Can I only practice the Ten Thousand Sources Void Universe Art to Heaven? But where should I go to find those rare herbs and minerals?" Tang Xiu's eyebrows almost knitted into a ball.
"Boss, I feel like I did pretty well in this exam. It would be great if tomorrow's exam goes as smoothly as today." Yuan Chuling touched Tang Xiu's arm and said excitedly.
"Come on, there are still two months, I believe your grades will definitely improve." Tang Xiu glanced at Yuan Chuling and said absently.
"Hehe, I didn't expect that I could pick up the knowledge I had left behind after being idle for so long. Thank you, boss, for your teaching and encouragement. By the way, boss, how did you do in the exam today?" Yuan Chuling smiled in surprise, and then became curious. asked.
"I should have done well in the exam, right?" Tang Xiu hesitated for a moment and said softly.
"Tang Xiu, why don't you even make a draft when you brag? Aren't you afraid that your secret will be revealed in two days?"
"I cried for an hour during the Chinese language test and just gave up on the math test. Can you still pass it?"
"The students in the key class are really amazing. Not only are their academic performance great, but their bragging skills are also top-notch."
…
As soon as Tang Xiu finished speaking, a burst of ridicule sounded in his ears.
Even Cheng Yannan, who was sitting in front of Tang Xiu, frowned and looked at Tang Xiu with a hint of disappointment.
Whether it was the Chinese language test in the morning or the math test in the afternoon, Tang Xiu made so much noise in the examination room that many people knew about Tang Xiu's performance in the examination room, which made those who hated Tang Xiu even more disgusted. Tang Xiu completely disappointed those who originally had some extravagant hopes for Tang Xiu.
Seeing Tang Xiu being ridiculed by his classmates because of one of his words, Yuan Chuling wanted to slap himself twice.
Yuan Chuling subconsciously turned to Cheng Yannan for help. Although Cheng Yannan only came to Class 10 one month earlier than Yuan Chuling and Tang Xiu, Cheng Yannan successfully conquered everyone in Class 10 with her fierce fighting power and abnormal academic performance. classmates, completely solidifying her position as the eldest sister.
Because of Cheng Yannan's care, Tang Xiu and Yuan Chuling had a very comfortable life in Class 10. Not only did they have a good learning environment, but they also received Cheng Yannan's care and greetings from time to time in life, which made Tang Xiu and Yuan Chuling enjoy it extremely. At the same time, it also made other students in Class 10 even more envious, jealous and hateful of them.
If someone dared to ridicule Tang Xiu and Yuan Chuling in the past, Cheng Yannan would have stopped him long ago. This time, Cheng Yannan directly avoided Yuan Chuling's eyes and was still immersed in the test paper, as if he had not seen or heard anything. .
"Haha, you two cowards, it's just that they have poor grades, but you don't even have the guts to admit it. Are you still men?"
"Are they men? If they were men, why would they keep hiding behind women? If it were me, I would have killed myself with a piece of tofu."
…
The students in Class 10 were originally worried that Cheng Yannan would stand up for Tang Xiu and Yuan Chuling, so they spoke more restrainedly. However, when everyone discovered that Cheng Yannan's attitude towards Tang Xiu and Yuan Chuling had changed, they began to become unscrupulous in their words.
Under the ridicule and insults of everyone, Yuan Chuling's breathing became more and more rapid, and his handsome face turned red. Just when Yuan Chuling couldn't help but slapped the case and got up, Tang Xiu coughed lightly and stopped Yuan Chuling. impulse.
"Actually, whether our monthly exam results are good or bad has nothing to do with you at all. You are not qualified to ridicule the results. If your academic performance was very good, you wouldn't be sitting in this classroom, right?" Tang Xiu said calmly. He glanced at the classmates who were like chicken blood, and said calmly.
Tang Xiu's simple words seemed to ignite a powder keg, causing the classroom of Class 10 to boil instantly.
"Tang Xiu, do you still have a sense of class honor? How come your monthly test scores have nothing to do with us? If your test scores are good, the overall score of our Class 10 will go up, and not in the third grade group. At the bottom, if your grades are poor, won’t we be implicated by you?”
"Tang Xiu, your test scores every time are almost zero, how can you still have the courage to take the exam? If it were me, I would have given up on the exam, so as not to cause trouble for others!"
"Tang Xiu, Teacher Han asked you to stay in Class 10 under great pressure. In the entire Star City No. 1 Middle School, apart from Teacher Han, no class dared to take you in. If it weren't for Teacher Han, you would have been expelled from the school long ago. , Teacher Han treats you so well, why don’t you understand Teacher Han?”
…
Tang Xiu obviously didn't expect that his words would make him the target of public criticism, but after hearing these people's words, Tang Xiu was not angry, but instead had a smile on his face.
Tang Xiu could tell that there was not much malice in these people's words. Their consideration and concern for Han Qingwu was sincere, and their sense of class honor was also genuine.
"There is a saying in the Book of Songs: 'Throw me a papaya, and repay me with jade. If a bandit repays you, you will always think it's good! Give me a peach, and repay him with jade. If a bandit repays you, you will always think it's good! Throw me a tree. Li, repay with Qiongjiu. It's always good to repay a bandit! 'I'm sure to get the first place in the grade exam this time, everyone just waits!" After Tang Xiu finished speaking, he stood up and left the classroom. .
After Tang Xiu left, the classroom fell into deathly silence.
It took a long time for everyone to wake up from Tang Xiu's words.
"Isn't it just a peach in return? I had to drop my book bag, which made me stunned for a long time and didn't understand what I was talking about!"
"What did he just say? He wants to get first place in his grade in this monthly exam?"
"We must have heard wrongly. Tang Xiu is almost the same as the one from the bottom of his grade. As for the first place in his grade, he could only get it in a dream."
In the entire classroom, only two people were silent and did not speak, with a thoughtful look on their faces. Yuan Chuling was even a little excited.
Staring at the sarcastic crowd, Yuan Chuling packed up his things and left the classroom. He was afraid that if he continued to stay in the classroom, he would be violent and hurt others.
"I heard that his memory was severely damaged after the car accident. Not only was he unable to remember newly learned things, but he also forgot things he had already mastered very quickly. In other words, when he entered Class 10, his basic knowledge was almost blank. In just one month, is it possible for him to get the first place in his grade?" Cheng Yannan murmured in a low voice, and the look of disappointment on his face deepened again.
The next day, the monthly exams continued.
Tang Xiu's "farce" in the examination room also continued.
In the morning's comprehensive subject paper, while other candidates were scratching their heads and sweating profusely as they struggled to read the first page of the test paper, Tang Xiu stood up and left calmly.
In the afternoon English test, including the listening test, Tang Xiu handed in the paper in just half an hour. At this time, other students had just finished completing the multiple choice fill-in-the-blank questions and had not had time to read the reading comprehension questions.
Xingcheng No. 1 Middle School implements closed teaching, and there are no holidays on weekdays. Only at the end of each month, there are two or three days of holidays for students to go home. This is monthly leave.
After the monthly exams, senior high school students also had a brief respite.
After the monthly exam, Tang Xiu did not stay in school and continue studying hard like other senior high school students, nor did he go to the library. Instead, he couldn't wait to walk towards the old area of He Street, because he knew that his mother must have done it. A lot of delicious food is waiting for you.
Tang Xiu had been living in the countryside before entering high school. It was not until he stood out in the high school entrance examination that he was admitted to Xingcheng No. 1 Middle School with the first score in the city. That was the first time he left the countryside.
In order to take care of Tang Xiu nearby, Su Lingyun followed Tang Xiu into the city.
It's just that as a rural woman, Su Lingyun was easy to do farm work, but it was extremely difficult for her to find a job in the city. Therefore, during the three years in Star City, Su Lingyun and Tang Xiu, mother and son, suffered a lot. Living a precarious life.
Fortunately, Su Lingyun was able to bear hardships and stand hard work, and was eager to do all the dirty work. Over the past few years, she finally accumulated a little money, borrowed hundreds of thousands of yuan from here and there, and then rented a store in the old district of He Street. , the lives of mother and son finally settled down.
