No. 1 Middle School is indeed the number one key school in Yun City. The results of the monthly self-study exam came out the next day.
Class monitor Chen Hao posted the report card on the wall and patted the podium to signal everyone to be quiet: "The results of this monthly exam have come out. You can come and see for yourself. In addition, representatives of each subject will go to the office after class to find the subject leader. Teacher, take the exam papers for next month."
Before he finished speaking, someone ran to the podium to look at the ranking list.
"Wow, the monitor is awesome. He is ranked seventeenth in his grade."
Chen Hao smiled and patted the man on the shoulder, "Keep your voice down, we're in class."
There is no teacher in the evening self-study class, but you need to keep quiet and have the teacher on duty checking at all times.
"Suisui, do you want to go and see it?" Liang Yi also wanted to know how he did in the exam.
Jiang Suchu glanced at the podium. There were many people crowded there.
"There are a lot of people. I'll wait until there are less people before going to see it." She was doing a math problem and didn't want to be interrupted before she finished solving it.
Liang Yi glanced at the densely packed draft paper she had written on, thinking that a top student would be a top student, and she couldn't relax after just finishing the exam. She glanced at the podium. Those in the back row who didn't usually study were very interested in their results. Especially the people in Sun Feifei's group stood at the very back, watching and laughing, and even gesticulating about other people's achievements.
Liang Yi curled his lips and sat back down, "I'll wait until there are fewer people to go see it."
Chen Hao glanced at Jiang Suichu, who was lowering his head to do the questions, and walked off the stage: "Jiang Suichu."
Jiang Suchu raised his head and looked at him: "Squad leader, what's wrong?"
Chen Hao said: "The head teacher asked you to go to the office."
Jiang Suichu: "Now?"
Chen Hao nodded, "Yes."
Liang Yi listened on the side and asked Chen Hao: "Squad leader, what is Lao Liu doing with Suisui?"
Chen Hao shook his head and said, "I don't know either, he didn't say."
He guessed it was about grades. He had seen Jiang Suchu's grades, which was a bit unexpected.
Chen Hao glanced at Jiang Suichu. If Jiang Suichu's English was better, he wouldn't be the first place.
The grade group office was on the third floor. Jiang Suchu stood at the door of the office and shouted a report.
Liu Fuming was talking to the teacher next to him when he heard the voice and turned around.
"Come in."
Jiang Suichu walked over, held his hands in front of him, and greeted him somewhat cautiously: "Hello, teacher."
Liu Fuming looked at the transcript on the table and looked at her: "Have you read the rankings of this monthly exam?"
Jiang Suchu pursed his lips and said, "Not yet."
Liu Fuming handed her the ranking list in his hand: "Then take a look now."
Jiang Suichu took over the ranking list and saw the familiar name in the first row of the table at a glance.
Lu Zhinian.
She was stunned for a moment, and then she saw the ranking list of the first monthly exam for the first year of high school written on the top of the table.
Lu Zhinian not only got perfect marks in mathematics, physics and chemistry, but also got perfect marks in English. Total score 721.
The second place is Tang Zi, whose score is very close to him, with 703 points.
Jiang Suchu looked down and finally found his name on line 46. She looked at each subject one by one, and the scores were almost the same as she had estimated in advance. Chinese 130, English 92, full score in mathematics, comprehensive 259.
As expected, I was held back by English.
Jiang Suichu read the list and returned it to the class teacher. Liu Fuming took the list and said, "Have you finished reading it?"
"Um."
Liu Fuming asked her: "What do you think?"
Jiang Suchu thought carefully for a while and said, "I am very partial to subjects, and my English... is too poor."
"That's right. I took a look at your grades. You're very good in other subjects, especially science. You're in the top ten of your grade. You can't find much fault in other subjects. But your English..." Liu Fuming tapped his index finger on Jiang Suichu's English score, "92 points, just passed. I also asked your English teacher, and she said you were very serious in class, but what happened to this score?"
In Liu Fuming's opinion, Jiang Suichu is definitely a good prospect, and he will not say that he cannot learn English well.
"I just want to ask you, do you don't want to learn or can't learn it? Or do you have any difficulties in learning English?"
Jiang Suchu bit his lip and said, "I just can't understand the teacher's English teaching, and I can't keep up in class."
Rural schools don’t start learning English until junior high school, and teachers in towns don’t pronounce English very well and have accents. Moreover, junior high school teachers do not all speak English in class, so as long as you memorize and memorize more, it is not difficult to get a score of 100 or so in the exam.
But when I arrived at No. 1 Middle School, the teacher spoke English with standard pronunciation and taught all classes in English. Jiang Suichu was confused on the first day of English class and could not keep up with the teacher's pace.
"That's it..." Liu Fuming sighed, thought for a while, and said, "I will discuss your problem with Teacher Guan and see if there is any way. This English is very good. You see, if you take the English test this time, 120, the top ten in grade are just..."
As Liu Fuming spoke, he saw Guan Yanping coming in from the corner of his eye. He held a tea cup and shouted with a smile, "Teacher Guan, get out of class is over?"
Jiang Suichu also looked back.
Guan Yanping wore a little bee on her waist and held the test paper for this monthly exam in her hand. There was another person behind her. The boy had a stack of test papers in his hand. He had a clean face and fluffy hair that was fluffy and soft under the bright white woven lamp in the office.
Jiang Suchu was stunned for a moment when he saw Lu Zhinian, and quickly turned back when he looked up.
She almost forgot that Class 1 and Class 7 had the same English teacher.
Didn't see me didn't see me.
Jiang Suchu bit her lip and prayed that he would leave immediately. She didn't want to be scolded by the teacher in front of him.
So shameful.
Lu Zhinian glanced at the back of her head and raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Pretending not to see him?
Liu Fuming stood up with a glass of water and said to Guan Yanping with a smile: "Teacher Guan, please help analyze Jiang Suichu's English score. I'll go to the class first and take a look."
Guan Yanping glanced at Jiang Suichu and nodded: "Well, I happened to be looking for her."
Originally, she planned to chat with Jiang Suichu next class.
Lu Zhinian stood next to her. The teacher didn't say anything, and he didn't put down the test paper in a hurry. He just stood there.
Jiang Suchu turned his head slightly and glanced.
Why doesn't he leave?
…
"Let's take a look at your test paper this time." Guan Yanping took out Jiang Suichu's paper from a pile of test papers on the table, looked at it over and over again, and after a long time she said: "Why do you have such a hearing? It's just confusing. It’s more right than you are.”
…
Jiang Suichu lowered his head, revealing a section of his fair neck, and did not dare to speak.
Lu Zhinian glanced at the test paper. No wonder Guan Yanping was so angry.
She actually only got ten points out of thirty points for listening.
Lu Zhinian glanced at Jiang Suichu, whose ears were red, and put down the test paper in his hand after thinking for a moment: "Teacher Guan, if nothing happens, I will go back to the classroom first."
Guan Yanping then remembered that Lu Zhinian was still there. Looking at the top grader, her expression softened and she said with a smile: "Well, go ahead."
Lu Zhinian nodded politely and glanced at Jiang Suchu before turning around. But she kept her head lowered and her hands clasped in front of her.
After Lu Zhinian left, Jiang Suchu quietly breathed a sigh of relief, then raised his head and nodded.
Seeing that Lu Zhinian was gone, Guan Yanping continued, "You know Lu Zhinian, right?"
"Ah?" Jiang Suchu raised his head and looked at her in surprise.
Guan Yanping looked at her reaction and thought she didn't know that the person standing just now was Lu Zhinian. So he pointed to the door and said: "The one who just left, Lu Zhinian, who is number one in grade. Look at why he can beat the second place by more than ten points. Isn't it because of his English..."
...so scared to death, she thought...
Guan Yanping took the grade list again and found her results. She became even more angry when she saw it, and asked her: "Look at the top 100 in this grade, let alone the 100, who among the top 200 in the grade has lower English than you?" . I think you are pretty good in other subjects, but you still get full marks in math. If you could put more effort into studying math into English, you wouldn’t get such a low score."
Guan Yanping is a provincial first-level teacher. In the classes she teaches, only those who get good scores in English have never seen anyone held back by English.
Liu Fuming just came back from inspecting the class. Hearing Guan Yanping's words, he quickly stepped forward to help Jiang Suichu: "Teacher Guan, it's like this. I just checked with classmate Jiang. She used to study in a school in the town. The teaching level in the town is not as good as the city." There is a certain gap in it. She has not been exposed to all-English teaching before and is not comfortable with it. I think she may get used to it after a while."
Guan Yanping was not the class teacher and didn't know much about the students in the class. She really didn't know that Jiang Suichu was admitted from the town below.
She glanced at Jiang Suchu. The little girl stood quietly, with a little embarrassment on her face.
After looking at her scores in other subjects and taking into account her performance in class, Guan Yanping softened her tone: "I don't care what your previous teacher taught you, but teaching in English here is necessary. Don't follow class just because you don't understand. If you don’t feel embarrassed, just raise your hand boldly when you encounter someone you don’t understand.”
Knowing that it would be difficult for her to adapt to all-English teaching at the moment, Guan Yanping said: "I will slow down my speaking speed in class in the future, and you try your best to keep up."
After all, the teaching progress of the entire class cannot be adjusted just because she is not suitable.
"When learning English, you can't just immerse yourself in memorizing it. Language sense and context are all important. If you are not adaptable to all-English teaching, it is just because you have not been exposed to it before and lack such a language environment. The same is true about pronunciation. I will post some at that time I will give you English listening skills, and you can practice more. You can also watch more English movies or something. Interest is the best teacher."
Jiang Suichu nodded: "I understand, thank you, Teacher Guan."
Teacher Guan saw that she had a sincere attitude and was serious in class. In addition, her other grades were also top-notch. Overall, she was a good candidate.
"That's it, take the test paper back and look at it carefully." Guan Yanping handed the test paper to her.
Jiang Suichu took the test paper and said, "Thank you, teacher."
Jiang Suichu took the test paper and walked while reading it. When he reached the entrance of the corridor, a pair of clean sneakers appeared in his sight. She paused for a moment, raised her head and glanced into a pair of beautiful eyes.
Lu Zhinian put his hands in his trouser pockets, leaned his back on the railing, and rested his long legs on the ground casually.
The corridor is very quiet during class time, and you can still hear the chatter and laughter of the teachers in the office from a distance.
The dim light outside the building shone from the entrance of the corridor, reflecting two silhouettes on the ground.
Jiang Suchu was stunned for a moment, "...What are you doing standing here?"
"Waiting for you." Lu Zhinian smiled, his tone a little worried and lazy.
The corridor was a little dark and Lu Zhinian couldn't see her face clearly. So he leaned over and tilted his head to look into her eyes.
Fortunately, I didn’t cry.
Just now he realized that Teacher Guan probably wanted to scold her, and she would definitely feel embarrassed when he was around, so he left first. But I was still a little worried, so I kept waiting here.
When Jiang Suichu was a child, he was a high-spirited child. Every time he was scolded by the teacher, he would cry first as a sign of respect, regardless of whether it was his fault or not.
He was afraid she would cry.
Jiang Suchu was stiffened by his sudden approach. The smell of him was all around him, fresh and clean. It was obviously autumn, but she seemed to smell the scorching sun in midsummer.
It makes people feel a little dizzy.
Jiang Suichu managed to steady his steps and did not stagger back.
She looked at him: "What are you waiting for me to do?"
Seeing that there was no sign of crying in her eyes, Lu Zhinian felt relieved, straightened up and smiled slightly: "Ang, don't do anything. I'm just afraid that someone will sit on the ground and cry after being scolded by the teacher like he did when he was a child."
…………
Why is this person like Pei Shuo? He doesn't remember anything else but the embarrassing things she did when she was a child!
Jiang Suchu's face heated up at what he said, and he murmured in a low voice: "...I'm not a child." How could he cry after being scolded by the teacher for just a few words.
Lu Zhinian glanced at the paper in her hand, "Can you show me the paper?"
Jiang Suichu brushed the floor and hid the test paper behind his back, "No!"
Lu Zhinian raised an eyebrow and raised the corner of his mouth: "I failed in the exam, are you sorry?"
Jiang Suichu glanced at him and said it even if he knew it.
Lu Zhinian smiled and teased her: "That's right, we Zhuzhu also love to study, and we are still embarrassed if we fail in the exam."
Unlike when I was a child, when I did homework, I would either get hungry or feel sleepy and want to sleep.
…
In fact, he was at the door of the office just now, and he heard everything Teacher Guan said to her. I know that the teaching level in her previous school was poor, and she couldn't keep up when she arrived at No. 1 Middle School.
Lu Zhinian stretched out his hand: "Show me the paper, and I will help you see where you can improve."
Jiang Suchu pursed his lower lip and looked at him: "Then don't laugh at me."
Lu Zhinian looked at her, the dimple on the right cheek looming: "Okay, I won't laugh at you."
After he said this, Jiang Suchu slowly handed him the English test paper hidden behind his back.
She folded the test paper into tofu cubes. Lu Zhinian felt a little funny and carefully unfolded her test paper.
The score of 92 was drawn with a red pen, which was a bit eye-catching. The two bars at the bottom seemed to have been scratched a little too hard, and the paper was scratched. It seems like I hate the fact that iron cannot become steel.
Also, no one among the top fifty in the grade had a lower score in English than her.
Lu Zhinian could read very quickly, but his hearing was not good. He got almost half of the gestalt wrong, had grammatical errors in his composition, and lacked vocabulary.
After reading it, Lu Zhinian folded the test paper according to the original crease and returned it to her: "The problem is not big, but there are some deficiencies in listening and reading. You will be able to take it up soon if you practice more, don't worry too much."
He saw the sad look on her face and was worried that she would be shocked.
Hearing what Lu Zhinian said, Jiang Suchu felt comforted. She took the test paper and looked into his eyes: "Really?"
The light illuminated her eyes, which seemed to be filled with light.
"Of course. You can get full marks in math, how can you not learn English well?"
The first monthly exam questions were generally relatively simple. This time, Lu Zhinian found all the subjects to be a little challenging except mathematics. The only person in the whole grade who got perfect marks in the exam was Jiang Suichu. The math teacher of his class even praised her in the class when he was reviewing the test papers in the last class.
He was slightly shocked when he heard her name. He didn't expect that when he was a child, he had to teach her one plus one several times before he could learn it. Now he is still a bully in elementary school.
Lu Zhinian smiled and rubbed her head and said, "I have the original audio audio here, and I will send it to you when the time comes."
Jiang Suichu shook his head: "No, Teacher Guan just said that he would send it to me."
Lu Zhinian nodded and said, "That's okay. But the most important thing in learning English is to have a good language environment. It's difficult to find problems if you practice alone."
Jiang Suchu thought what he said made sense, "Then what should I do?"
Lu Zhinian pretended to think deeply for a moment and said, "Let's do this. You can come to the woods at noon every day and I will practice your listening and pronunciation with you."
"That's not good, it's taking up your time too much." Studying in high school is already stressful, so if he practiced with him every noon, he wouldn't have much time to do his own thing.
"It won't take much time to practice for a while every day. Besides, my hearing is not very good, so I just want to practice more with you."
…
She clearly saw that he got perfect marks on his English test.
Just at this time, the get out of class bell rang, and the noisy footsteps and slapstick sounds gradually came from the quiet corridor.
Seeing a student coming over with a school bag, Lu Zhinian raised his chin at her and said, "Go back to the classroom quickly, I'm going home too."
Day students in No. 1 Middle School have one less late self-study period than boarding students. Day students in the first grade of high school can go home after the second self-study period, while boarding students have to study until nine o'clock.
"...Oh, bye." Jiang Suichu waved to him, turned and went downstairs.
Lu Zhinian turned around and walked a few steps. Then he remembered something and turned around to stop her: "Pig."
"Ah~" Jiang Suchu stopped and looked at him, "What's wrong?"
Except for that time at the resort, this was the second time he called her that.
Lu Zhinian smiled and said, "It's nothing. I'll bring you breakfast tomorrow morning."
