Chapter 21: The Value of a Set of Papers

When Li Ye and Wen Leyu started "exchanging questions and explaining them," many students in Class 1 were "watching a joke."

"Does Li Ye even have the face to explain math problems to Wen Leyu? What was his score?"

Although everyone didn't mock Li Ye like that troublemaker He Weiguo, there were quite a few who secretly laughed.

But after the two of them kept exchanging and explaining questions for five or six days, someone finally realized something was wrong.

This era wasn't the later generation where you could "vomit from doing papers." There were no teaching aids to buy on the market. Teachers had to rack their brains for several days to come up with a set of papers that were different from before and had some new ideas.

Students in this era had a very narrow intake of knowledge. If they wanted to do questions, they could only constantly review the questions teachers had tested before, and then there were some questions teachers explained in class.

Occasionally, a student would get a set of test questions from another middle school, and everyone would be excited to copy them and then discuss and study them enthusiastically.

The repeat class students had a strong thirst for test questions. Everyone had learned what they should learn. Now, there were only a few ways to improve their grades. Every set of new test questions was precious to them.

They couldn't imagine what it was like to "vomit from doing questions." If they could imagine it, then just thinking about it would be happiness.

So, the students in Class 1 discovered that Li Ye and Wen Leyu had been explaining questions non-stop for five or six days, and they all became restless, wondering what kind of difficult problems made these two poor students unable to solve them for five or six days? Why not let me try?

"Brother, what questions are you doing? Let me see, okay?"

Li Dayong stretched his neck and watched his brother for two days, finally unable to resist "disturbing Li Ye's good thing."

Li Ye casually threw a math exercise book to Li Dayong and said, "Here, if there's anything you don't understand, ask me, and I'll explain it to you."

"Alright, brother!"

Li Dayong didn't pay much attention to his brother's offer to "explain it to him." He knew his brother's level too well.

But after taking the exercise book, he soon began to be confused.

Dense practice questions filled more than a dozen pages, of which only a very small number of question types were seen by Li Dayong; the rest were all new question types.

"Hiss, where did my brother get these questions?"

Li Dayong was like a cat that had fallen into a mouse nest, excited, biting one target and pouncing on another, wishing he could swallow all the targets at once.

But after a while, his brows were tightly furrowed.

Some of the questions in the front were okay, but many of the questions in the back, even if they had been done and had answers, Li Dayong couldn't understand them for a while.

He tried to cover the solution process and only look at the original question, but he was completely clueless.

"Hiss......"

Li Dayong gasped, looking at Li Ye and Wen Leyu not far away, wondering which one of them was the top student?

If judging from his observations over the past few days, it seemed that Li Ye spent more time explaining questions to Wen Leyu, and Wen Leyu would occasionally whisper lessons to Li Ye.

But his own brother.......

"Dayong, Dayong, let me copy, okay?"

Li Dayong's seatmate, Fu Yingjie, leaned over and begged Li Dayong. He had been watching for a long time, and the test questions in the exercise book were like ginseng fruit on a ginseng tree, making him drool.

Li Dayong didn't agree immediately but asked Li Ye, and after getting the reply "you decide," he gave it to Fu Yingjie.

This agreement was no small matter; several students around leaned over and began to copy the questions by the dim light.

Li Dayong had a flash of inspiration and said, "Why don't you try copying only the test questions and not the answers, and see how many questions you can do?"

"Okay, try, try, try."

Everyone accepted Li Dayong's suggestion and buried their heads in copying excitedly.

They were more and more surprised the more they copied, more and more excited, and by the time they finished copying all the questions, they were almost dancing with joy.

This was like a martial arts fanatic who thought he was a genius getting a martial arts manual; although he hadn't understood it yet, he could already foresee the improvement in his strength.

But only half an hour later, these "martial arts geniuses" were awakened by basins of cold water.

"Is it...... so difficult?"

"How many questions can you do?"

"Eight....... six, I guess. How about you?"

"I..... I won't say, it's shameful."

Li Dayong squinted his eyes and said pretentiously, "Who was laughing at my brother a few days ago? Now you know the depth, right? Hmm?"

"Hehehe, yes, yes, yes, Brother Yong, Grandpa Yong, give us the answers to copy, okay?"

"The answers can be given to you to copy, but don't follow certain people to stir up trouble in the future, and don't give the questions to those who like to take advantage and still act innocent."

"Hmm, hmm, hmm."

Li Dayong's sarcasm aroused the resentment of several people in the front row of the classroom.

They were all in the small circle around Xia Yue. The core members were the original class monitor Xia Yue and the study committee member of Class 1, Jin Shengli.

In the past, they relied on their good grades and "understanding of literature" to repeatedly exclude Li Dayong, Li Ye's best friend. Now that Xia Yue had lost her position as class monitor because of Li Ye, the two sides had become mortal enemies.

So, most of the laughter at Li Ye a few days ago came from Xia Yue's small group, which made Li Dayong quite aggrieved. Now that he had the opportunity, how could he not mock them a few times?

The study committee member Jin Shengli had already stood up, ready to come over to copy the questions, but after hearing Li Dayong's words, he sat back down in shame.

He was also among those who laughed at Li Ye a few days ago.

Xia Yue also had a bad temper. After hearing Li Dayong's words, she said angrily, "Humph, just a few broken questions, are they so rare? A failing student is a failing student. Some people could be given a mountain of questions and still wouldn't pass the exam."

Li Dayong retorted immediately: "Everyone has been to the exam room; it's not like anyone has passed."

Xia Yue stood up abruptly, ready to have a war of words with Li Dayong.

Compared to her academic performance, her mouth was even better.

"Knock, knock, knock~"

Li Ye tapped the table with one hand, and the fountain pen in his other hand didn't stop.

But Li Dayong immediately stopped the war of words, dragged his stool to Li Ye's side, and said with a flattering smile: "Brother, do you have time? Explain these questions to me, okay?"

Li Ye looked at Li Dayong, who was as big as a bear, and couldn't help but feel a chill.

。。。。。。。

The influence of Li Ye's questions spread much faster than he expected.

On the afternoon of the next day, the head teacher, Mr. Luo, found him.

"Li Ye, where did those test questions of yours come from?"

Li Ye looked at Mr. Luo, not understanding why he was so urgent.

Actually, Li Ye underestimated the value of the test questions he provided. Mr. Luo was a physics teacher. Someone took a few questions to ask him for advice this morning, which immediately aroused his attention.

He hadn't seen this type of question before, and they were "very interesting" to do.

Different professions are like different mountains. Only teachers like Mr. Luo, who rack their brains to come up with questions all day, can deeply understand the value of these questions.

As the head teacher of repeat Class 1, he wouldn't let go of any factor that was conducive to improving the class's grades. Asking a student for questions wasn't shameful.

Li Ye thought for a while and said, "A part of them was found for me by my family, and there are a few sets of questions that Mr. Ke gave me."

"Mr. Ke? Okay, I'll go find her."

Mr. Luo immediately believed Li Ye's words. After all, he couldn't imagine that the questions Li Ye provided could "amaze" him, a teacher, and almost stump him.

However, when Mr. Luo turned to leave, he took Li Ye's exercise book with him.

But what Li Ye didn't know was that when Mr. Ke got Li Ye's exercise book, she was also almost stunned. ===== CHAPTER 22 =====
