The Age of Rebirth: Struggle of the Eldest Daughter

Chapter 28 The Glory of Jingzhong Elementary School
Su Manjin has always been efficient.

Once the plan of cooperating with the villagers to catch the sea supply was finalized, when Su Jinshu went to the restaurant to deliver the goods at noon the next day, she followed in person to confirm with Wang Chunfeng the daily batch supply quantity.

Then, together with Su Jinshun, he selected and bought a trolley in the town.

The family, those responsible for catching the sea, opening the shop, and receiving goods for the villagers, all got busy.

----

On the fifth day of December, Thursday, Jingzhong Primary School was closed.

Su Manjin went to school early in the morning with her small schoolbag on her back.

As soon as I arrived at the school gate, I met Zhang Xiaoxia at the same table.

"Manjin, good morning, you are here today too!"

Su Manjin smiled: "Deskmate, good morning."

Zhang Xiaoxia was a little helpless: "Eh, although we are at the same table, I haven't seen you a few times in school."

All in all, Su Manjin has gone to school for three days in the past half a month, which also included taking the final exam of the first grade last Friday.

The homeroom teacher said that all the staff must be in place for the graduation ceremony, and the principal will personally present awards to students with excellent grades.

As the "March of Athletes" sounded from the loudspeaker in the teaching building, students from all classes lined up to enter the arena.

After listening to the headmaster and the teaching director take turns to give long speeches, it finally came to the part that the students liked.

"First of all, the subject No.1 award is awarded."

"There is only one student who got No.1 in the Chinese subject in the first grade, and her Chinese score is 100 points—full score! Everyone applauds and encourages!"

"I invite Class A, Grade One—Su Manjin to come on stage."

Su Manjin came to the stage slowly to receive a certificate and a prize - 2 notebooks.

"The next one will be Mathematics No.1. There are 3 students in the first grade with full marks!"

"Students Zhang Xiaoxia, Su Manjin, and Kang Wenlong are invited to come to the stage to accept the awards."

Su Manjin went to the stage with two classmates to receive a certificate and a prize - 2 pencil boxes.

Su Manjin didn't have much enthusiasm. Letting her mind of a college graduate come over to compete with these first-grade elementary school students for certificates, felt like bullying her classmates. :)

"Next, award three good students. There are two students in the first grade. Su Manjin and Zhang Xiaoxia are invited!"

She won the award three times in a row, and the surrounding students all cast envious or jealous eyes on her.

Su Manjin and Zhang Xiaoxia looked at each other and smiled, they had no choice but to hand over the certificates and prizes they received earlier to the students around them for safekeeping, and had no choice but to continue on stage.

"This Su Manjin has won all the awards in our grade! It's amazing!" The classmate at the front desk who helped her keep the certificates exclaimed.

"Isn't it? People can take the final exam directly without attending lectures, and still get full marks. If you don't accept it, you can't accept it." Kang Wenlong, who was on stage to accept the award just now, replied with a perfect score in mathematics.

After a while, Su Manjin came down with a certificate and a schoolbag.

Well, this schoolbag, notebook, and stationery box are all together. If I have another pen, I will work together!
The principal continued to present awards to students in other grades. There were 10 classes from grades one to grade five. By the end of grade five, Su Manjin was a little sleepy, and she wanted to finish it quickly and go home to catch up on sleep.

Unexpectedly, I heard the headmaster read his name again.

"This semester, the county held an essay competition, and our school also collected ten essays from all grades to participate in."

"With the hard work of all the students and the guidance of the subject teachers, we have achieved good results."

"Among them, two students won the third prize, and one student won the second prize."

"The most gratifying thing for the teachers is that Su Manjin, a student from Class A, Grade 800, of our school, won the special prize in this county-level essay competition for his [-]-word composition "My Dream"! Congratulations from everyone!"

"Students! This is an essay competition for elementary schools at the county level. Regardless of grade, everyone is welcome to contribute and participate. Su Manjin is a very good example. When the next semester starts, our school magazine will publish these award-winning essays." Composition, everyone will study a lot and communicate more with Su Manjin."

"Yesterday, the county has issued a notice and sent the certificate. Now I invite a few students to come to the stage to receive the certificate!"

The headmaster's heavy news made the senior students in the audience restless.

"What, didn't we hear it wrong? Our school won the special prize in the essay competition for all grades in the county's elementary schools?"

"Yeah, the most outrageous thing is that this special prize is not in our graduating class, but in the first grade???"

"Are all the friends in the first grade now so powerful?"

"Hey, I heard from the teacher in charge that Su Manjin did several sets of final exam papers in the teacher's office half a month ago, and got full marks for all the papers in the second volume of the fourth grade!"

"Wow, is it so fierce? When we were in the fourth grade, we couldn't get full marks in the Chinese paper, right?"

"Remove your "ba"! Let me do it now, and I can't get full marks. Besides, is it so easy to get full marks for composition?"

"I also heard that it only took half an hour for someone to get a perfect score. Our normal test time is a full hour! Such an answering speed can actually achieve a perfect score. It's really awesome!"

Su Manjin took the stage again.Several other students came down after receiving their certificates, but Su Manjin was stopped by the principal.

"Student Manjin, this is a trophy specially made by the preparatory committee of the County Essay Competition for the special prize, with your name on it!"

The principal was a little excited, and he said loudly to the audience: "Our school has been running for so many years, this is the first time that a student has participated in a competition above the county level and won a special prize!"

"This is the glory of our Jingzhong Primary School! Who said that our rural primary school can't compare with the city's? As long as we work together, we can hope to catch up with other schools!"

"Student Manjin, you must continue to work hard in the future! The principal believes in you!"

"When you finish reading next semester, we will skip grades for you and go directly to the third grade. There will be more competitions in the third grade to make you shine!"

Su Manjin:
Well, thank you, I also believe in myself :)

After Su Manjin and other principals finished playing, they finally took the award certificate, trophy, and a box from him.

She returned to her seat, opened it and looked at it, and couldn't help but be amused.

It turned out to be a beautiful black pen with an extra nib for replacement.

Su Manjin sighed: This is really alive :)

A school closing ceremony lasted for more than an hour, and the teachers of each class led the students back to the class and cleaned up the classroom.

After Su Manjin finished her work with her classmates, she looked at the classroom clock, it was 10:30.

It was still early, so I was in no hurry to go home, I could just go and see Su Xiaosheng.

I don't know how effective the test center was given to him half a month ago. He should also be closed today.

Su Manjin bought some stationery and snacks at the small shop in front of the school, and picked out an exercise book, put it in her bag, and walked quickly to Qianlou Village.
