In fact, Hua Min's purpose of opening the elite class was just to give individual lessons to more than a hundred selected outstanding children.
I didn't expect that there would be an uproar. After discussing with Lin Yan, I decided to take the exam and give every child who wants to enter the gifted class a chance.
There will be a judgment standard for the exam, and there will be evidence for passing or failing. Some parents in the province will make trouble.
Who doesn't want their children to go there? If they choose this company or not, there will be endless arguments. It's better to settle it once and for all. The same test questions will depend on the child's ability.
Because the people selected must be good enough and smart enough, Lan Yue and Huang Ying from the laboratory went to the mine, and the rest all participated in formulating the questions and conducting an all-round inspection.
There were a total of sixty questions, and Hua Min thought it was too difficult. Those kids have never studied before, so they probably can’t understand the questions.
Lin Yan didn't think so, "Look carefully at the questions we have given. Questions 1 to 20 are basic knowledge and have been explained. You can answer them by just using your brain. The following questions are all based on these questions. Come here. Smart people can see the connection at a glance and answer all the questions. The last few questions are about the current situation of Sun City, which are completely subjective. They are still young. If they pay attention to these things, they will naturally be able to say Come out with one, two, three.”
Shi Zhiye said: "These questions are very simple. As long as you have a good brain, you will be able to answer them. If you can't answer them, then they are not the people we are looking for. The purpose of the exam is to select better children who will work side by side with us in the future." Not everyone is qualified to fight."
"That's right. Select them through this exam first, and after learning the basic knowledge, focus on training them according to their strengths." Shuisheng also agreed.
Except for Hua Min, everyone else thought the question was very easy. She objected to the invalidity and decided to start the exam the day after tomorrow.
On the day of the exam, Bai Chen provided a batch of paper for students to use when answering questions.
This is the first time for the elite class to enroll students. They all take it seriously and come to the classroom early.
Hua Min took the test questions and read them one by one. The students who were sitting frowned after listening to the questions, and many of them didn't understand. This is different from what they learned before.
Lin Yan told Hua Min not to worry, someone had already started answering the questions.
Hua Min saw that the little baby was exactly the one she had been looking forward to. He was smart, clever and a good prospect.
The current classroom is very different from before, with tables and stools.
There are more than 400 children taking the exam, and paper alone is a huge expense.
The production of paper is increasing day by day, but the price has not dropped much, and households are reluctant to use it. This is the first time for most children to take a pen and write on paper.
Knowing how valuable paper is, I am always trembling with fear every time I write a word, for fear of making a mistake.
There are also people with good mental qualities who can write as fast as they can and answer questions more freely.
Lin Yan looked from classroom to classroom and found a lot of smart children. She made a mental note to look at their answer sheets after the exam.
Three hours later, the exam ended. Some children looked depressed, while others were full of energy. The gap was not as big as usual.
In the afternoon, Lin Yan and others all participated in the examination. After all, there were more than 400 examination papers, and there were only seven of them. Mao Mu and Lin Yun were busy working in the smelter and did not come.
The full score is 100 points, and only those with a score of 80 or above can enter the elite class.
One day later, when they saw the statistical results, all seven people were silent.
Of the four hundred and thirty-two children, only thirty-six reached the passing mark, and the one with the best score scored 89 points.
Hua Min said: "Did we give the scores too low for the last few subjective questions?"
"It's not low, but these kids can't do it." Shi Zhi said without hesitation, "Since it's an exam, we should have strict requirements. If you don't pass, you don't pass. There's no need to find reasons."
"But there are too few people. It's more than half what I expected." Hua Min looked at the list of thirty-six people. She was initially optimistic about more than a hundred people.
"The elite class is designed to cultivate elites. It doesn't cost much to be good at it. Those who pass the exam can come to class. Post the list and notify them to prepare for class."
Lin Yan also felt that he shouldn't let things go, so he put a lot of effort into organizing this assessment in order to achieve the results of the assessment. Those who can pass the exam will at least prove that they are smart, and they will continue to be assessed and screened in the future.
As soon as the results came out, Sun City was in an uproar. Many families were disappointed and never expected that their children would fail the exam.
But after seeing the results of the children who took the exam, everyone fell silent.
The scores are clear at a glance and form a sharp contrast.
It was already the end of January when the school affairs came to an end.
That night, when Lin Yan went home and had dinner, he heard Huahong suddenly say: "I've thought about it."
"What have you thought about?" Lin Yan asked casually while chewing on the barbecue.
"Let Jinzi come to our house."
Lin Yan froze and couldn't believe it, "What did Auntie say?"
"Let Jin Zai come to our house. He came to see me a few days ago and looked very pitiful. Recently, he was busy building roads, so he went with him. I saw that he was wearing rags and had many injuries on his body. He has lost a lot of weight, and if he continues like this, his body will not be able to support it."
"So, just for this reason, Aniang agreed to Jinzai coming to our home?" Lin Yan asked incredulously, "This is a marriage relationship. Aniang shouldn't think about whether Jinzai will be good to you, good to me, right?" Is this home helpful?”
Jin Zai is indeed pitiful. He is oppressed in the Jin family and cannot stand up on his own. What can others do to him? Hua Hong is really a kind person. He sees pity for people and wants to bring them into his home.
Huahong looked at Lin Yan in surprise, "Are you unwilling?"
"No, I just want my mother to think more about herself. Although Jinzi is my father, he is like a stranger to us. It is not impossible for my mother to accept him, but she must think more about herself. Think about it. I accepted Jinzi because he could help my mother-in-law work and accompany her in her life, not because I looked at him pitifully."
Huahong thought for a while and said: "I have thought about what you said. We met at the most desperate time and had you unexpectedly. I think this is God's will. It is indeed a good thing for Jinzi to come to our house. He is sure to come He has to work, and he can't just eat for nothing. I have already thought about it. When he comes, I will let him do all the heavy work at home. When he is free, I will let him earn money. I just need to keep him fed and clothed."
Listening to Huahong's simple wish, Lin Yan didn't know what to say. She is overthinking it. At this time, men and women can have a baby as long as they look at each other. A baby is born into a female family and has nothing to do with a male child. Let alone expect beautiful love between men and women.
Hua Hong and Jin Zai live together, and Hua Hong saves Jin Zai from fire and water, and Jin Zai will be very grateful to her.
Thinking about this, Lin Yan suddenly felt that it was not impossible.
There is no shortage of food in the family, and there is also money. Jin Zai can fully afford it. Moreover, he is a strong laborer. As long as he is diligent, he will make money.
She has also heard many people say that Jin Zai was squeezed so much by the Jin family that he developed a taciturn temperament, but he worked neatly and diligently.
Finally, Lin Yan asked Huahong to give Jinzai a message that she wanted to meet him. Let him come home tomorrow afternoon after finishing his work.
Huahong nodded in agreement.
That night, Lin Yan tossed and turned again, but Huahong quickly fell asleep.
