Chapter 89: I'm a Student, Not a Doctor

"What's going on? What's going on?"

The accompanying teachers from No. 2 Middle School quickly rushed over, the foremost being the thin and small math teacher, Teacher Hu.

Xia Xia Yue's mind was in a state of agitation, and she said to Teacher Hu, "Teacher Hu, Yan Yan Jinbu did all nine big math questions."

Teacher Hu looked at Yan Yan Jinbu suspiciously, also unable to understand.

There were proctors in No. 2 Middle School, so she naturally knew how perverted this year's math test paper was.

But Teacher Hu didn't say much. After looking at Yan Yan Jinbu, she began to disperse the crowd.

"Alright, that's how the exam is. If others can do it, it's their ability. Don't be jealous, and don't be discouraged. If you didn't do well in this subject, there's still the next one! Everyone disperse!"

But there were quite a few people who had gathered, and naturally, they were unwilling to give up.

"Did them all, impossible, right? Did he cheat?"

"........"

"I didn't, I didn't..."

Yan Yan Jinbu was so anxious that his face turned red. He turned out all the pockets on his body to show that he hadn't brought any cheat sheets.

And at this moment, a male student coldly blurted out a sentence: "Then did you buy the exam questions? I heard that exam questions are sold in the provincial capital, thirty or forty yuan a set..."

"........."

Everyone was quiet, all looking at Yan Yan Jinbu in shock.

Compared to cheating, "buying exam questions" seemed more believable. Otherwise, how could you do all those difficult questions?

Children in the 1980s had simple minds and were easily led, and the psychology of "you weren't as good as me last year, why are you better than me this year" was also very common.

So when that student said this, he really didn't feel there was anything wrong with it.

But the next moment, he saw Teacher Hu's expression change, and sparks instantly appeared in her eyes, as if she were a Bull Demon King ready to choose someone to devour.

Teacher Hu suppressed her voice, like an old cow roaring in a low voice: "Do you want to harm us? Do you want to harm everyone?"

Teacher Hu pointed at the surrounding students: "Do you want all the candidates' scores to be invalidated? Not just this exam site at Yuhong Middle School, but the scores of all candidates in the county, the entire city, and even..."

Teacher Hu didn't dare to continue. She was afraid that if it spread by word of mouth, it would get out of control.

Everyone was stunned, including Xia Xia Yue and Yan Yan Jinbu, until other teachers came over and drove them all away, and they hadn't recovered from the shock.

They could never have imagined that once exam questions were leaked, it would be a disaster for all their candidates, and it would implicate the innocent.

Since the restoration of the college entrance exam forty years ago, there had only been one case in Sichuan Province in 2003, which changed the fate of six million candidates nationwide.

After Yan Yan Jinbu met up with Li Ye and the others, he said very shamefully what had happened, and was scolded by the hot-tempered Han Xia.

"You blockhead, why did you tell the truth? Couldn't you have made up a lie?"

"A lie... how to say it?"

Yan Yan Jinbu was an honest person, and his proficiency in lying wasn't enough. It might have been okay if he had time to think, but asking him to react on the spot required training.

Li Ye sighed and said, "In the future, if anyone asks you, just say Old Old Huaiye gave you a dream! Remember, you must say it with a cheeky smile, so that people can see at a glance that you are lying."

"........."

Everyone was shocked, as if the doubts in their hearts had been solved.

For many years afterward, the incense at Old Old Huaiye in Qingshui County became increasingly prosperous, and even students from neighboring counties and even the provincial capital came to kowtow and seek dreams.

On the afternoon of July 8th, Li Ye took the politics exam very "nervously."

This was mainly because of the difference in the era's environment. Many ideas of later generations were "rebellious" in this era. If they were identified as "rebellious" by the graders, there would be disastrous consequences.

This thing might be even more serious than cheating.

So Li Ye had read many newspapers from recent years in advance, all of which were read into the "biological hard drive" in his brain.

After seeing the exam questions, he confirmed them again and again before daring to write down the answers, cautious, cautious, and cautious.

If he encountered something he didn't know, he would search for all related recent editorials and combine them with the books for "excerpts."

I've written everything I can write; graders, you decide.

In his previous life, a teacher once told Li Ye that when they were grading, they didn't calculate how many points a candidate should "deduct," but how many points should be "awarded" on the paper.

This was a very "benevolent" grading criterion; no one wanted to affect a candidate's life because of their own harshness.

Just as nervous were far more than just Li Ye.

In a small place like Qingshui County, among the seven subjects of the college entrance exam, Chinese and politics were the "big households" for pulling scores.

Because only in these two subjects did most candidates have hope of getting about 80% of the scores.

As for the others like physics, math, chemistry, and English, being able to get 40% during the college entrance exam was already quite good.

Li Ye's math score of 21 last year was considered okay!

If you want to average seventy points in math, physics, and chemistry, that's the top class of the city's No. 1 Middle School. If you want to get over eighty points... go to the best high school in the provincial capital and take a look; maybe there are the monsters you want there.

Averaging over eighty points, that would be over five hundred points. What are you thinking? Are you all going to Tsinghua and Peking University, all going to key universities?

Since 1977, for many consecutive years, Tsinghua and Peking University only recruited a thousand people each year. Where would there be so many high-scoring candidates?

So for candidates like Xia Xia Yue who were burning their boats, politics had to be taken with a high score.

Facts proved that Xia Xia Yue's years of hard study hadn't been in vain. She answered the politics exam questions quite well and should be able to get a high score of over 90.

After the politics exam ended, candidates had a thirty-minute rest period, and then continued with the biology exam afterward.

This was also the only time in the three days of the college entrance exam that two subjects were taken consecutively.

During the 30-minute rest period, all students in the exam room were driven outside, and the proctors had to re-check the desks and walls to ensure there were no papers or anything that could be used for cheating in the exam room.

The eight-person small group, relying on Li Li Dayong's burly figure, occupied a shady spot and gathered underneath to fan themselves.

The July weather really wasn't something people could bear.

"Brother... I'm looking for my brother, exam room 1-06..."

A tender voice came from the school gate. Li Juan was carrying a bundle of soda with effort, running in small steps toward Li Ye's side, but was blocked by a teacher halfway.

However, Li Juan was originally a student at Yuhong Middle School, and the teacher knew her, so she was quickly let in.

Li Li Dayong hurriedly went to take the soda, laughing and praising the little girl for being sensible.

"My brother asked me to come, the teacher let me in."

Li Juan wiped the sweat from her forehead, took out a handful of change from her pants pocket, and handed it to Li Ye.

Li Ye waved his hand, bit open a bottle of soda with his teeth, and handed it to little Li Juan.

"Drink it! It tastes the same as medicinal liquor!"

"........."

Since yesterday, Li Juan had been "ordered" to be stationed at the gate of Yuhong Middle School to "accompany" Li Ye for the exam. I don't know if Grandma Wu Wu Juying was worried that Li Ye would be a blockhead again or what.

In such hot weather, how could Li Ye let the little girl wait outside?

A five-yuan note was thrown over, and she could find a shady spot to stay; milk candy, melon seeds, small soda, whatever she wanted.

As a result, Li Juan was really a self-disciplined and clever good child. She didn't spend a cent herself, and even ran a long way to buy a bundle of soda and send it in.

The eight-person small group had been drinking a stomach full of cold water, and when their mouths were tasteless, a bottle of soda went down, as refreshing as a bottle of happy water when a child's throat was smoking in later generations.

"Li Ye, this sister of yours is not bad."

"Mm-hmm, she's pretty and clever."

Li Juan laughed hee-hee-hee, also drinking beautifully. Not only was there soda to drink, but the money in her pocket couldn't be spent in two days. If her brother still didn't want it, then... save it.

Mom is really stingy, giving only five cents a week, not enough to buy three popsicles, unlike her brother who is so generous and broad-minded.

Of course, sister Li Ying is even stingier. That five cents can be squeezed out of water, not a cent spent, strictly guarded, don't know where it's hidden, can't find it no matter how she looks.

While Li Ye and the others were drinking soda, the other classmates were drinking cold water, but because the soda seller was too far away, and there was only a half-hour break, no one dared to go out to buy it.

Everyone looked at Xia Xia Yue, but this "gunner" who had been blowing air and cheering everyone on in the past was dumbfounded today.

She was "calculating scores" for herself.

"I can get over 80 in Chinese, over 90 in politics, 45 in chemistry, math... count as 20, biology must score at least over 40."

Xia Xia Yue calculated several times, feeling that she still had a chance to achieve her established goal.

After finishing the biology exam today, 5 of the 7 subjects would be finished. If she could get over 280 points, and get 125 points in physics and English tomorrow, she would get 410 points.

She should be able to meet the minimum standard for Beijing Foreign Studies University... right!

She didn't do well in math, but others didn't do well either!

The college entrance exam is about ranking, not scores. The level of the entire Qingshui County is like this. Except for Li Ye's group of "rebels," she, Xia Xia Yue, is still the best of the bunch.

But if Li Ye knew what Xia Xia Yue was thinking at this moment, he would basically have to mourn for her in advance.

This method of calculating scores before seeing the exam questions is actually a fallacy.

For example, a certain ball game in later generations.

"The China team is trailing 0:4, and there are 40 minutes left in the game. We still have a chance."

I have a chance, my foot!

Just because you can score, doesn't mean others won't let you score...

That opponent has to be "Andorra" to have a chance; even Syria won't do.

Applied to Xia Xia Yue at this moment, it means for the remaining questions, the questions I want to get points for, you must give them to me, and for the questions I don't want to get points for, you can set them however you want...

Do you think the college entrance exam question-setting group are fools?

If everything is set according to your wishes, then there's no need to take the exam. You calculate your scores yourself and pack your bags to report to school directly. I'll also save the effort of racking my brains to set questions.

The purpose of the college entrance exam in the 1980s was to screen people to death. To achieve such a low admission rate, it was all about being imaginative and unexpected.

Five minutes before the exam, candidates were allowed to enter the exam room.

Before entering, Jin Jin Shengli walked over, wanting to encourage Xia Xia Yue.

But Xia Xia Yue turned her head away and ignored him.

In Xia Xia Yue's eyes, Jin Jin Shengli was a "coward."

Because Lu Lu Jingyao's self-study books didn't arrive on time, Jin Jin Shengli, who had repeated for three years, retreated at the last minute and gave up applying for an undergraduate degree, choosing to apply for a junior college.

This immediately caused Xia Xia Yue to lose her companion and become a loner.

The most determined partner left her at the last minute, giving Xia Xia Yue the feeling of a loner—lonely, but stronger.

Let me walk alone, still without regrets.

Entering the exam room, the test papers were distributed.

The total score for the biology paper was fifty points, divided into two test papers. This was the result of adding twenty points this year.

1981 was the first time biology was included as a college entrance exam subject. At that time, many candidates didn't know where to find books.

And the biology paper score was only thirty points. Most candidates wouldn't struggle with it. The scattered knowledge points tasted like chicken ribs.

But today, this chicken rib fell into Li Ye's mouth, but it felt like he had caught "fat meat."

Metabolism... the spatial structure of nda... the main role of the human liver... what two parts are human skeletal muscles divided into... discuss the entire process of human respiration...

【Aren't these scores all picked up for free?】

Li Ye felt he could get a full score. Losing one point would be irresponsible to his physical education teacher in his previous life.

Because when the physical education teacher talked about these knowledge points related to the human body, he must have been eloquent.

But what he didn't know was that countless candidates at this moment were cursing in their hearts.

"I'm a student, not a doctor. What kind of broken questions are these?" ===== CHAPTER 90 =====
