Back to the third grade

Chapter 30

In the final analysis, we still have to use the results to speak.

It was Sunday after the parent-teacher meeting, and Lin Mei and Zhou Yu met to go shopping and leave the store.At home, Zhu Hai was quarreling with Zhu's mother and Zhu's father, and they ran out when they couldn't take it anymore.

"The two of them talked one after the other. They said that my grades were not good, and that I would sell socks at a street stall in the future." Zhu Hai didn't understand, did the two of them feel happy when they scolded her like this?

"You two are better." Zhu Hai looked at Zhou Jie and Lin Mei, "Zhou Jie's mother is in the United States, and she will study abroad in the future. Lin Mei, you are different now. My mother went back after the parent meeting and kept talking about you. , Said that your academic performance is rising rapidly, let me learn from you."

It's not that Zhu Hai doesn't understand, but she knows better that she has no time now.The exam will be on the [-]th of June, and it will be less than two months from now.That's all her grades are, it's not bad to be able to go to the fourth middle school safely.

Zhu's mother went home and scolded her because she was ashamed at the parent meeting. Seeing that other people's children learned better than Zhu Hai, Zhu's mother was upset.

"I told my mother that it's too late now, and she was so angry that she cried, saying that she used to make me imitate me every day, but now it's too late, what should I do if others live better than me in the future?" Zhu Hai half said Aggrieved, half also a little regretful.Some vaguely regret that I didn't study harder before.

Lin Mei and Zhou Yu accompanied Zhu Hai to eat rice noodles before returning home. At dinner, Lin Mei and Lin's mother sighed a few words about Zhu Hai.

Mother Lin said: "Then she can go to high school and study hard, and then she can get into a good university."

Lin Mei did not dare to be so optimistic.Because seeing Zhu Hai now is like seeing her back then.The impulse at this time is all because of being scolded and stimulated, so I want to work hard.But this feeling is only temporary, just three days of heat.Back then, why didn't she think about working hard and studying?But never persisted.

When she wanted to study abroad, she also regretted not studying hard before.So I want to give it a last shot.But the results told her that she could not be reborn by changing the country, her IQ would not increase, and her personality would not change.Everything is still the same as before.

Lin Mei went back to her room and continued her review.To be honest, these textbooks are not interesting at all. She will study hard as if something is chasing after her. In fact, she just wants to seize the opportunities that have slipped away from her.

While she was still lingering with the textbook papers, a gossip that spread cast a shadow over the third grade in the attached middle school.

It is said that someone reported that some schools cheated in the sports scores of the senior high school entrance examination. The Municipal Education Bureau and the Provincial Education Department attach great importance to it and are investigating.Therefore, the sports results that were originally scheduled to be released in early June are now uncertain.

"Is the news true?" Lin Mei quietly asked Zhou Yu, she believed that Zhou's father would be able to find out the news.

Zhou Jie nodded silently, and said in a low voice, "It is said that parents from other schools called to report."

Since there are cheaters, there must be honest test takers.When those students who take the exam on their own strength find that some people can get good grades without any effort, and will have an advantage of ten or even twenty points over him in the exam, it is impossible not to remain calm.

Lin Mei exhaled lightly, feeling a sense of fate that "the incident finally happened".

Everyone who has done something wrong has imagined what it would be like to be discovered.There is an old saying that goes, "Ask your conscience and ask yourself", that is to say, if you deceive others, you must know the truth.Lin Mei now knows very well that the whole school's sports performance in the attached high school has problems. Once it is exposed, it will be a gap of [-] points.

The people in the class are two kinds of performance.For those with poor grades, like Zhu Hai, her reaction was very flat, "Then let's make up the exam, wouldn't you say it's all void?" To her, it doesn't matter if the total score is less than ten or twenty points.No. [-] Middle School represents the ordinary high schools in the city. Besides No. [-] Middle School, there are also No. [-] Middle School, No. [-] Middle School, No. [-] Middle School and so on.If one can't get on, there are others. She has a lot of choices.

But for good students like Zheng Kai and Mei Lu, their options are very small, and the gap of [-] points will be fatal.So Zheng Kai and Mei Lu have been very nervous these two days.

If I knew it earlier... Lin Mei sighed to Zhou Yu: "I knew it would be better to take the test myself..." She is confident in her sports performance, and her own test is not far behind, nothing more than a perfect score.

Now it's really worth the loss.

When school was over, Lin Mei and Zhou Yu walked together. Guo Xinxin recently went to her grandma's house for dinner and had to go another way.

"There are two possibilities. One is to invalidate all the scores and retake the exam; the second is to count only the lowest score." Lin Mei discussed with Zhou Yu how the final decision will be made on this matter.

She remembered that her sports scores back then should be fine, and she recorded her total score with a score of more than 30 points but less than [-] points.But it's also possible that she was like Zhu Hai at the time, she didn't care about this matter at all, so she didn't take it to heart at all.Then this memory is unreliable.

She is now considering the worst outcome.If the attached middle school is found out, it will face the result of losing points.She means that she has to earn points back from other subjects.

Zhou Yu pushed the cart and walked slowly, "It depends on whether the higher-ups want to strictly investigate. If they are afraid of bad influence and plan to calm down, there may be loud thunder and little rain. It would be bad if they planned to catch models. It depends on whether the relationship between our principals is strong or not."

Only by grasping the models and introducing one or two to scare the chickens and monkeys can the physical examination that has just been reformed for two years be carried forward.Otherwise, once the wind of cheating rises and becomes a routine, it will be bad.

For two weeks, the school was discussing the physical examination.All kinds of gossip spread.It is certain that the parents reported by phone, but the school involved seems to be in the next district. It is said that the principal and dean of the school have been called away, and all the sports scores of that school are cancelled, and a make-up exam is required.

The postponement of the sports results is because an investigation is underway to see which other schools are suspected of collective cheating.

When he heard the news, Gao Yuan said in the class: "That's over, my sprint performance is almost the same as Lewis, what should I do? Will they send someone to the school to ask us to run again on the spot?"

Some people also complained: "The one who wrote the grades could have written one more second! How could I run in six seconds!" A bunch of people compared their grades there. Most of the girls concentrated on seven seconds, and almost all boys were six Seconds off.Everyone is a fast-legged, sprinter.

He Qi smiled and said, "Sports schools should come to our school to find seedlings, a large group of them!"

During the second class in the morning, everyone was discussing whether the Sports Bureau would send someone to the school to check whether they could really run that fast.By the time school was over at noon, everyone was already discussing how they could avoid inspection if someone came to inspect it?
In the end, they all believed that sprained feet, broken bones, and colds were good strategies to avoid inspection.

The next day, Gao Yuan came to school in a plaster cast.

He Qi saw it and laughed loudly: "Damn it! Gao Yuan, you can do it!"

Gao Yuan triumphantly put the plastered leg on the table for everyone to see, surrounded by a group of boys.

Gao Yuan went home and told his mother that the superiors might come to check their grades, and if they were found to be fraudulent, the consequences would be serious.He thought it would be a good idea to fake a broken bone.Mama Gao picked up the phone and said, "It's simple. Your aunt is in the hospital. I'll ask her to put a plaster cast on you."

For the important event of the nephew's high school entrance examination, Aunt Gao Yuan was obliged to bring plaster powder to Gao's house after get off work. After mixing it with boiling water, she asked Gao Yuan which leg he wanted to wrap, and wrapped Gao Yuan's left calf with gauze to make up A thick layer of gypsum powder was applied.After the plaster dries, it's like a heavy hard shell is put on Gao Yuan's calf, and the shell will still move.

He Qi looked at the plaster shell, rubbed his chin and said, "...Why do I think this can't scare people? If your leg is really broken, and the plaster shell is not wrapped around the ankle, what effect will it have?" It also moves up and down!

Gao Yuan said, "How can I wear shoes with my ankles covered?"

This is indeed a serious problem.He Qi nodded deeply and remained silent.

When Gao Yuan went to the toilet wearing a plaster shell after get off work, it attracted a crowd of onlookers. Many boys from other shifts saw the appearance of the "wounded man", and even helped him and said with concern: "Be careful."

Gao Yuan nodded cautiously, and the boy next to him in the same class said, "It's fake!"

Gao Yuan: "Get lost!"

Lin Mei looked around from the beginning to the end, and felt... Gao Yuan has no talent for doing bad things. Is there such a bad person who publicizes what he does so that everyone knows?If someone really came to investigate, wouldn't they know that his plaster leg is fake just by asking?
Gao Yuan got the nickname "Iron Man" because they praised him for being "seriously injured" and insisted on coming to school, but he came here by bicycle!Such a disabled person can be a role model for my generation!

He is quite proud, and every time he hears people call him that, he raises his head proudly.

Inspired by Gao Yuan, within two days, there were a few more plaster-packed students in the third grade
Some wrapped more, thicker than Gao Yuan. The boy said proudly: "My dad told the doctor to wrap more, and the doctor made me a big bowl of plaster!"

Does it appear that the injury is more serious if it is packed more?
Some pack less, just about the width of a palm.Gao Yuan sneered, "Bao Bao is fake if you look at it so little!"

You are all fake.It's obvious at a glance.

Teacher Zheng smiled and said to Gao Yuan in class after seeing it: "It's pretty good, keep going to class. Pay attention to your body."

Gao Yuan smiled embarrassedly, and the boys around him slapped him on the head slapping each other harder, and finally Gao Yuan held the back of his head and said angrily: "Slap me again and turn my face!"

Trembling and anxiously waiting and waiting, everyone breathed a sigh of relief when it was said that the sports results had been sent to the school.

Check the grades and let it go.But it is also possible that the attached high school escaped this hurdle.After this incident, Lin Mei heard Zheng Kai say to his buddies there: "If I had known earlier, I might as well take the test myself. The principal is also the same, so why not just tell those who don't want to take the test to find someone? He went to find someone, but the result was The whole school was ruined."

There are a bunch of attached people next to it.

Since the incident was over, the weather has been getting hotter and hotter.One day, during cleaning on Friday, Mr. Zheng asked everyone to wipe the blades of the ceiling fans.On Saturday, I will call someone to check the electric fan and wiring to make sure it can be used, and the electric fan will be used soon.

Lin Mei's family also tidied up the closet. The seasons are changing, and the summer clothes that should be taken out have to be dried in the water before they can be worn. Sweaters and thick coats should also be washed and put away.

Lin Mei wanted to help, but Lin's mother said: "Don't make trouble for me. Go back to the house and close the door to read your book. After another month, you will be liberated."

There is one more month.

As soon as I arrived at school on Monday morning, I saw six large ceiling fans in the classroom whistling and scraping the floor. The floor that had just been mopped was wet.Sitting in the classroom with such a strong wind, the hairs on her arms stood up. Lin Mei couldn't bear the cold and closed the one on top of her head.

Zheng Kai came in holding the paper and saw her: "By the way, Lin Mei, Mr. Zheng said that if you come, let you go and find her."

Lin Mei walked to the podium and glanced at the paper: "Do you do the paper today?"

Zheng Kai opened a volume for her to read, "Probably, but one class can't be finished. The rest is either self-study and then writing, or it's today's homework."

There are eight papers in a set, and the amount of questions is not small.

The teacher's office has just been cleaned, and the water on the ground has not yet dried up.The teachers came earlier than the students, and the office was full of people. As soon as Teacher Zheng saw Lin Mei, she stood up and pointed to the door and said, "Go, go out and talk." She gently pushed Lin Mei to go out, from the third floor to the On the second floor, Lin Mei always felt that Teacher Zheng wanted to find a place to whisper to her.

Finally, he took her to the warehouse where the school uniforms were stored on the first floor. Teacher Zheng took the key from Teacher Du, who was in charge of the key, went to the warehouse to look through it, and brought her two white papers for her to distribute in the class.

Lin Mei carried the heavy book with embarrassment and followed Teacher Zheng back to the office on the third floor. At this time, there was no one in the office.

Teacher Zheng asked her to sit down and said to her: "Didn't you and Zhou Yu save a child last time? I thought about it, you and Zhou Yu went home and told the parents, think of a way, and see if you can give it to the two of you. If you rate a student as a good student or something, maybe you can get extra points."

Lin Mei: "Huh?!"

She never expected that Teacher Zheng came to her to talk about this.

Teacher Zheng: "Don't be burdened, and don't feel embarrassed. Tell your mother about this and let the adults handle it. Tell your mother to find the parents of the little boy at that time and ask them to write you a thank you letter." The letter is enough. Bring it when the time comes, and I will report to the city for you to have a try.”

Although Lin Mei always felt that she was very mature and could understand that Teacher Zheng was doing it for her own good, she was still embarrassed to ask for a thank-you letter. She said, "...it's been more than half a year."

"It doesn't take much to ask. It's a few points now. Even if you don't add points, it's good for you to have this." Teacher Zheng said, "I lost my address book. Last time the parents would think about it." Tell your mother and forget, or you tell your mother to tell her to come, and I will tell her. I don’t think it’s safe to leave it to you.”

Lin Mei quickly said that she must have told Mother Lin before she came out of the office.

"It's not so good..." Lin Mei said to Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu also looked embarrassed, "I just called the teacher at that time, you were the one who found that boy."

Lin Mei couldn't laugh or cry: "It's not the problem. I just feel very embarrassed. After half a year, I asked someone to write me a thank-you letter or something... I'm not short of this five points..." The sports one before might have to ask for help. She wasn't afraid to fill the vacancy of ten or twenty.What's more, it's only five points, which is really unnecessary.

"If I'm going to take the province one exam, and I hope to get five more points, then I might just bite the bullet." Lin Mei said, "I'm pretty sure that I'll save six points, and I really don't think it's necessary."

Zhou Que said, "Then why don't you take the provincial one?"

Lin Mei was stunned for a moment.

Zhou Yu said: "I've always wanted to tell you. Before you wanted to pass the exam, it was because you were afraid that your grades would not be enough. Isn't it a pity that you got the exam now? You tied with Meilu in the mock exam last time." Now, when it comes to reviewing, I don't think you are worse than Mei Lu. She has always set the goal of saving one, and you can also save one in the exam. "

It is not an exaggeration to say that Zhou Jie's words were a blow to the head!
Lin Mei was still thinking about it after returning home, but in fact she discovered it at that time.It's her self-limitation.For a long time, she has been influenced by her past, and she thinks that it is good to be able to get into provincial sixth, which was unthinkable before.But in fact, it should be compared horizontally. Her grades are similar to those of Mei Lu, and Mei Lu is confident that she will save one grade. Why can't she?
If Zhou Yu's words hadn't awakened the dreamer, she would have made a mistake.

And if she wants to go to the provincial one, then her current grades are a little bit hanging, and she needs to ensure a smaller loss rate.For her, it was necessary to increase the review of the minor subjects and get more points.

Lin Mei found out the history, geography, and biology.

The teacher of the three subjects had already marked the key points in advance, but Lin Mei's goal was to distinguish these key points again.Her advantage now is that she can better understand the thinking and purpose of the questioner. Well, it is a subtle thing, which can only be felt, not expressed in words.

Lin Mei looks at history first.Teacher Zhao, who teaches history, is a teacher in Class [-]. The key points of his paintings are actually not important points in Lin Mei's view, because his paintings are not prominent enough.

In Lin Mei's view, the focus of the slave society and feudal society is not the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, but several famous peasant uprisings.Therefore, all the ministers who wrote about the emperor can be ignored. Only the peasant uprising, which symbolizes progressive consciousness, is the focus of the exam.As for the emperors and generals in Mr. Zhao's long and long paintings, only a few "good officials" who were oppressed and damaged, such as Qu Yuan who fell into the water and died, such as Su Shi.

These two feudal officials both proved how incompetent the emperor was and how corrupt the feudal system was.

There is no need to memorize too much of these contents, and any central idea and symbolic meaning can be omitted. It is enough to memorize personal names and place names when they were born and when they died.

Because these are definitely not the key points, if you want to ask, you will only fill in the blanks

The real big question is modern history.This one should focus on memorizing.

Lin Mei recalled the picture-filling question, she finally circled two, one is the marching map of the three major battles, and the other is the road map of the Long March.

Changed to creatures, Mr. Xu also drew a lot.Lin Mei focused on the diagram of the heart, systemic circulation and pulmonary circulation, the diagram of cells and the diagram of plant leaf veins and calyx.As for the diagram of reproductive organs drawn by Teacher Xu, she thinks this is less likely...it's too discordant.

In terms of geography, people from other parts of the world only need to remember the main content, with the focus on China, such as which ocean China faces, which hemisphere it is in, what climate it is, what geographical features it has, what crops it produces, etc.In short, we should focus on China to grasp the topic, and focus on the positive content, that is, to describe the vast land and abundant resources, and the rich products are the focus of the topic.

Teacher Zheng asked her to mention that the white paper in the class is a newly edited factual politics.the last year.The one published last year can be thrown away, and this one is the main one.

Lin Mei remembered when she got the white paper. On the political papers back then, all the contents of the white paper were filled in the blanks.The total is very approximate.

Lin Mei circled the names of people, places, time and fixed nouns mentioned above.There is a high possibility that these contents will not fill in the blanks.

She concentrated on reviewing, and after waiting for a few days, Teacher Zheng asked her if she had visited the family. She raised her head: "Ah!" Remembered it!
Teacher Zheng sighed and said, "I knew I would have told your mother. Forget it, I have already handed in the application for you and Zhou Yu. It's okay if you don't have a thank you letter. I wrote a certificate for you. If someone in your family has a connection You can also go for a run, or you won’t have much confidence in handing it in.”

Lin Mei ran back to class and said to Zhou Que, "Mr. Zheng handed in the application for the city's three best students for us! Do you know?" Teacher Zheng is really... that's great!Well, she didn't even know that there was such a teacher who cared for the students wholeheartedly.

Zhou Yu said: "I know, I told my dad. My dad said he will take a look at it. Don't worry, he will also look at your share that my dad said."

Instead of thanking Zhou Yu, Lin Mei said, "Thank you dad for me." She felt blinded by Teacher Zheng's light, and sat down weakly for a long time without speaking.She really didn't expect that Teacher Zheng still remembered what she had forgotten. If she didn't respond, Teacher Zheng simply did it for her.

"Be sure to thank Teacher Zheng well." Lin Mei said.

Zhou Yu said: "After the exam, my dad said that he invited the teacher to dinner, how about we invite the two of us together? My dad can use his relationship to be the state guest."

There is a hotel in the city that is said to have received foreign guests, referred to as the State Guest, and it is said that it has received experts from Maozi.Now it has become the most famous hotel and restaurant in the city. If you want to get a seat for a meal, it depends on whether your backstage is strong or not.

"State guest..." Lin Mei shook her head after thinking for a while and said, "Forget it, it's worth a few thousand if you go there for a meal. Even if you invite your family together, it will cost at least a thousand. I might as well just give the money away Give it to Teacher Zheng."

The two were whispering, when Mei Lu heard a tail passing by, she hesitated, stopped and said to them: "I have something to tell you, come out with me."

Lin Mei and Zhou Yu looked at each other, and followed Mei Lu to the corridor to find a quiet place.

Meilu said, "I'm telling you, don't tell it."

Both Lin Mei and Zhou Yu nodded.

Mei Lu said: "Didn't Mr. Zheng's family have something to do some time ago? I heard that Mr. Zheng's aunt came to see a doctor from her hometown and lived in Mr. Zheng's house. Mr. Zheng's wife has to go to work, and his children live at school. Mr. Zheng has to take care of the patients." Sometimes I get off work early, so I can’t take care of our evening self-study.”

Right now.Ordinarily, Mr. Zheng is such a serious and responsible teacher. During that period of time, when the evening self-study was over, he left early. Before, he was in charge of the random changing of seats in the class, but later he said that he didn’t care about it once. Seats have become customary.

It turns out that Mr. Zheng's family is sick.

Mei Lu said: "After Zheng Kai found out, I want to invite some classmates to visit Mr. Zheng's house and bring some things. If you want to go too, go and talk to Zheng Kai."
