The changes in Xiaowangzhuang left a good impression on Hu Guoqing, which was not only the changes in the village and the busy scene, but more importantly, he met Ma Sanye, a respected elder, and obtained unheard ancestral stories from this elder.

Mu Zhen and Hu Guoqing returned to school, and they heard the most discussed by their classmates about the results of the final exam, who was the first in the grade and whose grade was the first.

After the class bell rang, the head teacher Zhang Jingrui walked up to the podium, glanced at the whole class, smiled and said: "This exam results, our class ranks first in the grade, this is the glory of our class, I am proud of you! Before the results are announced, I have to say a few words, this final exam is only a comprehensive test of our learning at this stage, and cannot comprehensively evaluate the actual situation of each of us. It can only explain the learning situation in the past semester, and it has little impact on the final high school entrance examination results. ”

Dozens of pairs of eyes in the class stared at Teacher Zhang, and everyone had different mentalities. Those students who have an indifferent mentality are thinking: I don't expect my scores to live if I take more exams and take fewer exams, and I just mix up a junior high school diploma, and the red book of taking more exams and taking fewer exams is the same, where does so much nonsense come from? Those students who pay attention to their scores are thinking: I hope that their grades will rank as high as possible, and the good results in this exam will lay the foundation for the high school entrance examination.

Teacher Zhang looked at the somewhat nervous expressions of most of the students, paused, and continued: " The third graduating class of junior high school is different from the previous two years, first of all, not only to add a homework, but also to systematically review the learning content of the first two years, because of the time set aside for review, so the learning progress of each subject is slightly faster, because of the fast progress, there may be many students for the knowledge mastery, but not consolidated, because it is not strong enough, so it is inevitable that the best play, nevertheless, it is necessary to commend and reward the students who have done well in the exam to show encouragement. ”

When Teacher Zhang said this, he stopped, took out his report card and read it in the class according to the ranking. The top 10 students in the class, all old students, at this time, the students in the class were eagerly praying to read their scores as soon as possible, but when Mr. Zhang finished reading the thirtieth place, he suddenly stopped.

Mu Zhen heard it very clearly, she and Hu Guoqing's names were heard, she only took the eleventh place in the class, and Hu Guoqing ranked fifteenth, with a total score difference of less than ten points. Mu Zhen was very unconvinced, according to the feeling after the exam at that time, his mathematics did so smoothly, not a perfect score, not just over 100 points! However, for Hu Guoqing, it was not easy to think that he could achieve such a result, during this period, not only did he make up some homework, but also the new learning did not fall behind, and his efforts were inseparable.

Mr. Zhang saw everyone's eyes, not because he didn't want to read, but because he was afraid that reading the following grades would hurt the self-esteem of some students. At this time, Teacher Zhang changed his tone and said: "I finished reading the students in front of me, why did I read it? I want to reward the outstanding students in this exam, but not the top 30 are rewarded, for the top 10, whether it is a new student or an old student, all are rewarded, for new students, reward the top 30 students." ”

When Teacher Zhang said this, he stepped off the podium and stepped out of the classroom, and the classroom was immediately like a fried pot, and the discussion was higher and higher, and everyone agreed with Teacher Zhang's approach. Mu Zhen is very interested in Teacher Zhang's reward, no matter how much the reward is, it can be regarded as an encouragement to herself and a new beginning.

According to the ranking of the class, Mu Zhen is not eligible to win the award at all, but if it is judged that the freshmen can win awards when they enter the top 30, he and Hu Guoqing can win the award, and they are naturally very happy.

Mr. Zhang walked in carrying a box, and the discussion stopped abruptly, and everyone couldn't wait to know what "treasure" was hidden in the box that Mr. Zhang moved?

Teacher Zhang sat down behind the lectern, opened the box, took out two boxes, opened them separately, held up a pen and said, "The top ten students will each be awarded a fountain pen." "The students I read below can come up and get pens. ”

According to the ranking, Mr. Zhang read the name of the person, and some students came to the stage to receive the fountain pen that represented the honor.

After handing out the pens, Mr. Zhang took out a pink soft-cover notebook from another box on the lectern and said, "This is a prize for the top 30 freshmen." First place: Mu Zhen!"

As soon as Teacher Zhang's words fell, Mu Zhen immediately stood up, ran to the podium, and took the diary that seemed to have a supreme honor from Teacher Zhang's hand with both hands. Mu Zhen knew in his heart that although he did not get the best results in the exam this time, but among the freshmen, he was already very satisfied with this award, after all, the old students in the class were all left for the secondary school examination, and the results were very unusual, especially Zhang Wei, who was the first in the exam, was admitted to high school with excellent results last year, but because his family wanted him to study junior high school, he gave up the opportunity to study in high school, and continued to stay and repeat, in the final analysis, this is also the elite of the elite, the top of the top. This year's re-reading, people are just consolidating the knowledge of the third stage of junior high school.

Although Hu Guoqing's ranking in the class is four places behind Mu Zhen, but among the freshmen, there is only one place between them, among the freshmen, Hu Guoqing ranks third, which really impresses the whole class, he has not entered the classroom in the second semester of the second year of junior high school, and the third year of junior high school has been so late for so many days, and he has such a result, and all the substitute teachers are also surprised.

When Mr. Zhang handed over the diary to Hu Guoqing, he said happily: "Work hard and strive for a better result in the next exam!"

Hu Guoqing took the diary, so excited that he didn't say a word, tears had filled his eyes. He shed tears for the rewards of his hard work, he shed tears for being able to return to school and receive awards, he shed tears for the care of the whole class for him, he was grateful, excited, wished, praying, everything in front of him was a good start.

When the students who returned to their seats opened the title page of the diary, Mr. Zhang's smooth and skillful handwriting came into view, which read: "Awarded to XXX for winning the XX place in the class in the final exam." Although this diary is not worth two yuan, it represents the teacher's recognition of his achievements, and it is also a great encouragement to all new students, which is worth a thousand words, and motivates every student who gets the diary.

After Mr. Zhang handed out the prizes, he opened his chatterbox again: " The end of this stage of learning is the beginning of the next stage of learning, the semester that has ended, will never be repeated, there is no restart in life, and there is no rehearsal, so each of our beginnings is a very important performance, every performance is determined to only succeed, can not fail, although there is a saying that failure is the mother of success, but those failures are failures that pay an unknown amount of effort and sweat, not a failure to wait, not a failure to go with the flow, so each of our students must attach great importance to each of your beginnings, and can not have a little sloppiness, otherwise your life will be messed up, and it can only be eclipsed。 Whether it is the students who have achieved ideal results this time, or the students who have not achieved ideal results in the examination, they should face up to this result, and those who have done well in the examination should guard against arrogance and rashness, continue to work hard, and continue to devote themselves to the next stage of study, and strive for better results.

A few students who listened attentively shouted involuntarily, "Yes!"

The rest of the students seemed to be encouraged and shouted, "Yes!"

"Everyone, speak loud!" Mr. Zhang's tone was obviously a little excited.

"Yes, yes, yes!" shouted in unison.

This voice is very firm and calm, Mr. Zhang is sincerely happy to stir up everyone's passion, and said a little excitedly: "We not only have, but must have, I believe that everyone, in the last semester of hard work, will be more excellent, more outstanding!"
