Chapter 70: You Even Arranged Everything for Me Clearly?

On the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, the repeat class of County No. 2 Middle School started.

On the first day of school, three things happened.

The first was that the school announced the subjects for this year's college entrance examination, as well as the corresponding scores.

Since '77, the total score of the annual test questions has been changing. The total score of the '82 college entrance examination is different from '81.

This year, because mathematics has an additional 20-point test question, the total score is 120 points. Politics, Chinese, Physics, and Chemistry are each 100 points.

And English, which was only calculated as 50% of the paper score last year, has been increased to 70%, which is a total score of 70 points, and Biology has also been increased to 50 points.

Calculated this way, the total score of this year's college entrance examination will be 640 points.

This is undoubtedly good news for several students with good English grades.

After all, in this era of "dumb English," everyone's English grades vary greatly, and a gap of several dozen points is enough to pull apart several grades.

The second thing is that Hu Man, the monitor of the first repeat class, took the initiative to resign as the monitor of the first class on the grounds of "insufficient energy."

This is not because Hu Man is cowardly, but because since she followed Li Ye to study outside the school, many things that the monitor should do have become inconvenient.

And Xia Yue would naturally intervene, so rather than wasting energy tearing each other apart, it is better to just push it away.

The third thing is that Jiang Xiaoyan's grandfather and mother suddenly came to the school to transfer Jiang Xiaoyan.

Li Ye was also very surprised after knowing this.

Because if Jiang Xiaoyan was snatched away by County No. 1 Middle School, he could understand it, but the school Jiang Xiaoyan was going to transfer to was actually Binhe Township Middle School.

Many students were gathered outside the door of the Academic Affairs Office, listening carefully to the dialogue that came out from time to time, but because there was a cotton curtain hanging at the door, it was always a bit unclear.

"Director Tang, our family really can't afford the tuition. Binhe Middle School not only doesn't want tuition, but also gives scholarships."

"A girl, our family has provided her with ten years of schooling, not letting her do any work, and serving her with good food and drink. If you don't believe me, look at her cheeks, they are rosy, but a penny can defeat a hero..."

Inside the Academic Affairs Office, a rough-faced old man kept complaining to Tang Feiyu.

And Tang Feiyu's cheeks twitched, suppressing his temper with great cultivation, so he didn't spit on the old man's face.

He is the Academic Affairs Director of County No. 2 Middle School. To say that he knows the situation of every student in the school is an exaggeration, but can he not know about a special student like Jiang Xiaoyan?

He knows too well how difficult Jiang Xiaoyan is usually. He has seen the scene of a steamed bun with cold water several times.

Still serving her with good food and drink? You really are shameless, and you have the nerve to say it?

The reason why Jiang Xiaoyan's complexion is rosy, Teacher Luo has already said, is the credit of eating small meals with Li Ye. You old man are pulling gold onto your own face?

It was Jiang Xiaoyan's mother who kept asking Director Jin how much hope Jiang Xiaoyan had of being admitted this year, and how much difference there was in teaching quality between County No. 2 Middle School and Binhe Township Middle School.

Director Jin said very clearly: "The teaching level of our County No. 2 Middle School definitely exceeds that of Binhe Township Middle School."

"If you transfer Jiang Xiaoyan to the township middle school at this time, in case she can't adapt to the changes in the environment, it will affect her college entrance examination results."

"The child has been in school for ten years; you can't harm her future because of this last bit of carelessness!"

The old man was a bit anxious: "Why are you still asking these things? People's scholarships have already been given to our family. Can I return them? Besides, I am Xiao Yan's grandfather; can I harm her??"

Jiang Xiaoyan's mother was not a good person either: "What's wrong with asking? You haven't cared about this child for so many years. Why are you pretending to be a grandfather at this time?"

"........."

The two quarreled without any scruples, not caring about the embarrassed Tang Feiyu or Jiang Xiaoyan, who was lowering her head.

At this moment, Jiang Xiaoyan's heart was truly flooded with bitterness, and her body and mind were sad.

Originally, it was agreed before the New Year that if she took first place, the family would support her to continue repeating.

But when school was about to start, the repeat fee was still short by twenty.

Her mother went to her maternal grandmother's house to borrow money again, but returned empty-handed.

Just at this time, the township middle school didn't know how they heard that Jiang Xiaoyan's joint examination results were very good last year. After checking, she was actually fifth in the county.

So there were these things that happened later.

And Jiang Xiaoyan also knew that the main reason why her grandfather lowered his face to transfer her was not for tuition exemption and scholarships,

But because Binhe Township Middle School promised to transfer her younger brother, Jiang Xiaoqiang, into the fast class of the third year of junior high school.

But Jiang Xiaoqiang had already repeated for two years. What can happen if he enters the fast class?

There is no repeat class in junior high school. Repeat students attend classes with the third year, and the fast class is the best class in a middle school.

Perhaps the family felt that if he entered the fast class, he could be admitted to high school!

After graduating from high school, even if he couldn't get into university, if the family made some effort, maybe they could arrange a job, and he would have something to rely on for the rest of his life.

But when arranging all this, except for her mother, who considered her, Jiang Xiaoyan?

In the past few months, Jiang Xiaoyan's academic performance has risen linearly, and she has been full every day. She feels that her spring has finally come.

Li Ye even promised them that in a few months, they would take the train to university together.

She and Hu Man and others were already imagining what future university life would be like.

But in the blink of an eye, why did time flow backward and return to winter?

Large tears fell on the ground, but who could see them? Who cared?

The quarrel in the Academic Affairs Office reached Li Ye's ears outside.

He keenly felt that his mother, who had always supported Jiang Xiaoyan's repeating, was already unable to support the situation alone.

The school certainly didn't want to let Jiang Xiaoyan transfer. Just look at the school's attitude toward Jin Shengli and Xia Yue.

If it is said that teachers in later generations only like students who study well,

Then the school now is truly "partial" to top students.

It can be said that top students like Xia Yue and Jin Shengli have real privileges in the school. As long as they don't cause public anger, the school will try every means to protect them.

Otherwise, with Li Ye's background, how would Xia Yue and Jin Shengli dare to jump in front of him?

The school needs Bureau Chief Li's grain relationship, but the school also needs top students like Xia Yue and Jin Shengli. Otherwise, if they are shaved bald every year in the college entrance examination, the principal's chair will not be stable!

But partiality is partiality, and Jiang Xiaoyan has indeed revealed her value.

But once it involves real money, this process is too complicated and too troublesome.

Jiang Xiaoyan is not a fresh graduate; she is a repeat student. How can the tuition of a repeat student be reduced at will?

In this era, the school is not a place flowing with fat. Teachers' benefits are very few, and maybe they still owe the wages of non-staff teachers! An expenditure of several dozen yuan may have to be discussed and debated at a meeting.

Li Ye turned around silently, walked away quietly, and knocked on the principal's office door.

"Come in."

Principal Chang saw that it was Li Ye who came in and was not surprised at all.

It was so lively outside; he didn't even have to think that it was for Jiang Xiaoyan.

But the school also has the school's difficulties.

To reduce tuition, there must be a reason for reduction, right?

Jiang Xiaoyan's family is difficult, but other families are not difficult. If tuition is reduced for Jiang Xiaoyan today, and other parents hear the news and come to make trouble tomorrow, what should they do?

To say that Jiang Xiaoyan studies well, but she only took first place once, which is different from Xia Yue and Jin Shengli, who are always first and second.

If tuition is reduced for Jiang Xiaoyan, should it also be reduced for Xia Yue and the others?

A clever woman cannot cook without rice!

But Li Ye's next move surprised Principal Chang.

He didn't say a word, took out thirty yuan from his pocket, and placed it on Principal Chang's desk.

"I know the school has financial regulations and it's inconvenient to reduce Jiang Xiaoyan's repeat fee, and she only took first place once last year, not every time."

"I also know that there are many students in the school whose families are difficult. In case the school opens this opening, there will be a lot of trouble, affecting the school's teaching order."

"So I paid this money, but it cannot be paid in my personal name. That would hurt Jiang Xiaoyan's self-esteem, make her feel guilty and inferior, and it is very likely to affect her subsequent college entrance examination."

"It would be more convenient for the school to pay it. After all, the school is a place for teaching and educating people. No matter how much care and love is given to students, it will only have a positive impact..."

"Principal Chang, you can pay this tuition for Jiang Xiaoyan in the name of teacher fundraising."

"It doesn't need to go through the school's finance, and you don't have to worry about other students having any thoughts. No one is embarrassed to take money out of a teacher's pocket, right?"

Li Ye finished speaking in one breath, and then he saw Principal Chang's face... not very good.

He slowly stood up from his chair, his eyes wide, his neck flushed, like an angry bull, breathing heavily.

"A group of us teachers is not as good as you, a child? Hmm?"

"........"

"Only you can do it, right? You even arranged everything for me clearly? You have quite a level!"

"........."

"You want to be a good person, but you don't want to leave your name?"

".........."

Li Ye swallowed his saliva, realizing that he had ignored the difference in the era.

In later generations, some monstrous students dare to have "equal dialogues" with teachers.

But in this era, you, a student, arrange everything for the teacher clearly...

Are you going to heaven?

Are you teaching me how to do things?

Sure enough, Principal Chang opened the office door and shouted outside, and seven or eight teachers came in.

Li Ye quickly occupied a corner and made the worst plan.

Although group fighting is highly unlikely to happen, "group spraying" is very likely. Later, he can only cover his hands and let them do whatever they want.

However, Principal Chang did not make things difficult for Li Ye, but calmly explained the situation to the teachers, proposed that everyone donate voluntarily, and he himself donated five yuan first.

The teachers were silent for a while, and then began to take out money one by one. Some gave three yuan, some gave two yuan, and those who gave one yuan felt a bit embarrassed.

In '81, the salary of a civilian teacher was 18.5, and those on the payroll were only around thirty. Dragging a family to live, a penny is really spent in two halves.

Now, donating money for a student, there was no hesitation. The integrity of the poor literati can be seen.

In the end, Principal Chang counted, a total of twenty-one.

He reached out and took ten yuan from Li Ye's thirty yuan and slapped it on the donation.

Then, with his anger still not subsided, he said: "Li Ye, you pay ten!"

"Sigh!"

Li Ye hurriedly agreed, fearing that he would anger this stubborn bull. ===== CHAPTER 71 =====
