Chapter 300: Village Primary School Recruitment Exam

Today is the day of the village primary school teacher recruitment exam; only two teachers are to be hired, yet over thirty people have come to take the test.

Only six high school students from the surrounding villages came to take the exam; the rest were educated youths sent down from several villages, making the competition undeniably fierce.

By the time Liu Chuxue arrived, most of the people had already gathered.

After Headmaster Wu of the village primary school went through the registration list and called out each name one by one, he said: "There will be one exam room for every ten people. Rankings will be based on scores, and only the top two will be admitted. Did everyone hear clearly?"

After everyone responded, they were arranged to enter the classrooms.

After receiving the test papers, Liu Chuxue first glanced through the questions, felt confident in her mind, and only then began to answer.

For someone like her who had experienced countless exams in her past life, she could truly boast without shame: it was truly a piece of cake.

Not to mention that since obtaining the space, she possessed a skill comparable to photographic memory, so she felt securing one of the spots was not a major problem.

The pen in her hand never stopped; in less than twenty minutes, she had finished all the questions. She was not arrogant; instead, she carefully checked everything again, confirmed there were no issues, and only then raised her hand to submit her paper.

As she submitted her paper, some people began to panic.

Xiang Qianjin was one of them; although he had memorized the answers, at this moment he had completely forgotten some of the questions.

When the bell for submitting papers rang, he still had one question left unfinished behind him.

After finishing the exam, Liu Chuxue returned home with a relaxed expression: "Mom, I'm back."

Liu's mother wiped her hands on her apron: "You're back. How did the exam go?"

Liu Chuxue took a tomato from the basket at the kitchen door, scooped a ladle of water to rinse it, and said: "It was okay. Anyway, I finished everything. The results will be out this afternoon, and we'll know then."

Liu's mother wore a worried expression: "So many educated youths took the exam, I'm afraid..."

She didn't finish her sentence and immediately changed the subject: "Alright, don't think about it anymore now that you've taken the exam. If you get in, that's best; if not, we'll think of other ways. At worst, I'll have your father go find your Party Secretary grandfather to arrange a lighter job for you."

Liu Chuxue smiled and responded: "Okay."

Actually, she wasn't too keen on being a teacher either; first, she didn't want to be a children's king, and second, she was afraid of misleading the children.

After all, teaching is a sacred profession, and she was truly afraid she might not be up to the task.

With a 'Crack' sound, she took a bite of the tomato: "Tomorrow, bring more of our family's tomatoes to my older sister. These tomatoes are sweet and sour and delicious; she will definitely like them."

"Okay. I see there are quite a few melons ready to be picked too; I'll bring some over for her."

"Mom, I still have a few food ration coupons. After seeing the scores this afternoon, I'll go to the commune to see if there are any cakes. If there are, I'll buy some to bring over for her tomorrow."

As she was speaking enthusiastically, she suddenly noticed a tear dripping from Liu's mother: "Mom, what's wrong?"

Liu's mother quickly raised her hand to wipe it: "Nothing, just feeling a bit emotional. If it weren't for your abilities and the rewards you received, even if we had the heart, we wouldn't have the means. Your sister really hit the jackpot, and the child in her belly is also blessed."

Hearing this, Liu Chuxue agreed: "That's true."

She was relaxed and showed not the slightest sign of nervousness.

But the atmosphere at the educated youth point was quite different; several educated youths who took the exam were gathered together comparing answers, and with every question compared, some were delighted while others were worried.

After everyone finished comparing answers, Xiang Qianjin secretly left the educated youth point.

As soon as he went out, he saw Liu Shuqin waiting there: "Why did you come over?"
