At four o'clock in the afternoon of November 15th, the joint examination of the three schools was successfully concluded. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

All the students returned to their classes, rearranged the desks and chairs that had been disrupted by the exams, and did a big cleaning. It was swept away not only the messy garbage, but also the exhaustion.

Every corner of Sixian No. 1 Middle School is full of joy for the rest of their lives, and after ten days of hellish hard study, the sense of relief after the exam is beyond their imagination.

In the next few days of waiting for grades, the teachers did not assign additional homework. The playground is full of people running around happily, and there is a sense of the scene of the college entrance examination. Nancy also had a rare good rest for a few days, making up for the lack of sleep in the days before the big exam.

The joint examination papers were finally corrected on the evening of the 17th after two sleepless days of sleepless work by the teachers in the Municipal Education Bureau, followed by another night of score statistics and collation. It wasn't until the wee hours of the morning that everything was sorted out and the results were distributed to the universities.

Wednesday, November 18th.

The playground in the early morning has not completely faded from the coolness of last night, and there are dewdrops hanging on many of the sharp leaves that have emerged on the green shade. At this time, the sun was still sinking in the eastern corner of the sky, emitting a gentle light that could be seen directly.

The dewdrops are reflected in the sunlight with colorful patterns, which are gorgeous like the studs on the earlobes of female students, and everything looks so quiet and peaceful.

After a while, everything was disrupted. There was a chaotic sound of footsteps coming to the playground, shoes of all colors trampling on the spiky grass that emerged, and the dew was melted into the dirt under the green shade, but the grass stubbornly straightened up after stepping on it.

"Isn't it Wednesday today? Why did the flag-raising ceremony suddenly start? ”

"I don't know, will it be the results of the joint entrance examination?"

"So fast? However, in previous years, when the results of the joint examination came out, there was no flag-raising ceremony. ”

"Don't talk, the head teacher is here."

The communication between the two classmates was heard in the noisy standing line, and someone was shouting "quiet". After a while, all the teachers and students lined up, and the playground fell silent. Then everyone raised their heads in unison and watched the situation on the stage with curiosity.

On the stage, there was no row of seats and red curtains for the usual flag-raising ceremony, only the principal Hu Rong stood straight in the open space near the side of the stage with a microphone. He deliberately put on a suit today, and pinned an elegant brooch to his chest, like a gentleman in a western castle.

He stood majestically for a moment, scanning the dense crowd of people in the huge playground. When everyone was quiet, he cleared his throat, put the microphone close to his lips, and said loudly: "The results of the joint examination of the three schools have come out, and overall, everyone has achieved good results this time!" Congratulations! ”

After saying that, he put away his pretended majestic look, smiled kindly and kindly, and took the lead in applauding.

Hearing this, a burst of cheers erupted on the playground. Many people secretly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, thinking that the school was embarrassed by the poor exam, and the principal wanted to criticize the whole school.

Before the sophomore (3) class, Cai Guodong wiped the beads of sweat on his face and let out a long breath. He walked up to Nancy, leaned over to her ear and said, "You girl is really lucky, she made such a big move in the whole sophomore year of high school in the past few days of the exam." Everyone's grades have improved, and you really have two hits. ”

"Don't worry, boss, I won't disgrace you. I'm also working hard, how can I make everyone regress. Nancy said with a hippie smile.

"You are not serious, and you still call me the head, do you look like a girl?" Cai Guodong scolded angrily, but there was no trace of anger on his face. The nerves were refreshing, but Nancy saw a little smug look.

A few days before the exam, Cai Guodong also helped a large part, helping Nancy lick her old face and go to the teacher with the best teaching quality in each subject to ask for courseware, and also went to the comprehensive building to give a few lectures.

Seriously, Nancy is grateful to this stern-hearted uncle.

The applause went out, and the headmaster's kind voice came from the radio on the stage: "Now I will announce the average results of the three grades this time, and compare them with the scores of the last monthly exam, so that everyone can feel it intuitively." ”

When they heard that the results were going to be announced, everyone couldn't stop looking forward to it. However, in a corner of the second and third years of high school, Nancy and Ren Mu's expressions became nervous. This will be the key to determining who will be the next head of the learning department.

Hu Rong felt the nervousness and expectation of the students in the audience, he smiled, took out a folded piece of paper from his pocket, unfolded it, and read it according to it: "The average score of this joint examination in the first year of high school is 488 points, and the last monthly examination is 482 points, an increase of 6 points!" Congratulations to the freshman students. ”

As soon as the words fell, all the students in the first year of high school raised their hands and cheered, and some even jumped up and whistled.

"The third year of high school scored 511 points in the joint entrance examination, and 490 points in the last monthly examination, an increase of 21 points! Congratulations to all the senior students! Hu Rong continued to read, applauding in the direction of the third year of high school.

"Oh yes! The third year of high school must win! ”

"Oh my God! That's a full twenty points! What a concept! ”

"Strong, I'm the Minister of Mu!"

"More than twenty points! There has never been another in the history of a middle school! ”

"I said, no wonder the principal was so happy and deliberately held a flag-raising ceremony!"

The cheers of the junior year of high school at the bottom instantly overshadowed the freshman of high school, and from time to time someone in the crowd threw the recently best-selling fourth-level English vocabulary pocket book into the air. After a while, Hu Rong saw Ren Mu being lifted up by a group of boys and thrown into the air, mingling with those pocket books like a tide of ebbs and flows.

He was amused by the madness of the students, and coughed lightly, but before he could speak. Some sophomores couldn't wait to shout at the stage with their hands like small trumpets:

"Headmaster! Shouldn't we report our sophomore year of high school first? ”

"That's right! You can't put us last just because the seniors are better than us in the exam! ”

"Hey, what's the hurry, the champions are the last to play. Quiet now! Listen to the Principal announce our highest honor! There are also students who confidently suppress the voices of their classmates.

After listening to this, the other students suddenly stopped making noise. Nancy glanced amusefully in the direction of the student who spoke, she couldn't believe that she could get the highest average score in her sophomore year. There was a mockery of the student who spoke from the senior pile on the side, roughly saying that it could not be higher than twenty minutes.

After a while, the two sides were arguing violently. The principal was still silent on the stage like a play, with a smile on his face. Nancy was a little speechless, Principal, can't you read it out quickly? How good is the mood to let the students be so disdisciplined and noisy?

Finally, it seemed that when everyone was tired of arguing, Hu Rong said with a smile: "The joint examination in the second year of high school scored 476 points, and the last monthly exam scored 483 points. ”

"Seven points up! More than the first year of high school! It's pretty good, too! Someone shouted out.

"Paralysis, you're in the wrong order! It's seven points less! Someone shouted out in a dull nasal voice.

"How is that possible? It's impossible, everyone is working so hard...... Headmaster! Did you mispronounce it? ”

For a while, the entire sophomore year of high school was a little silent, and some people even began to have tears in their eyes. Is this the result? Then what are they who have been fighting so many days without sleep!

"It's normal for grades to go up and down. It's reasonable to fall, just do your best! Some students in the third year of high school couldn't watch it anymore and shouted to comfort their classmates in the second year of high school.

Cai Guodong silently patted Nancy, who was a little out of state: "It's okay, the principal didn't criticize us, which means that we still did well in the exam this time, but the test questions are a little difficult." ”

"But it's hard to divide so many equally. The joint examination of the three schools must take into account the difficulty of the test questions, and it is impossible to deliberately come up with some questions that are not answered according to normal ideas. As long as it's a normal topic, we have done so many days of training, and it is impossible not to make any progress at all! Nancy's voice was a little hoarse, and it turned out that the taste of failure was so uncomfortable.

"Nancy, we're sorry for you! You have done so much for us, but we have not kept your position as Minister of Learning. Someone suddenly shouted in the direction of the second (3rd) class of high school in silence.

As soon as his voice fell, someone shouted, "We have all done our best, and we have no regrets!" Nancy, it is you who make us understand the joy of struggle! You're the best! In the lifetime of the first middle school, we will only obey your discipline! You are the eternal minister in our hearts! ”

This sonorous and powerful tone of literature and art attracted all the sophomores to follow suit. After a while, there was a flood of voices.

Nancy's eyes filled with a mist that she couldn't help but sniffle.

"What's the matter, girl. Are you still crying if you can't be a minister? Cai Guodong took out a tissue from his pocket and handed it to her, and some students on the side saw it and wanted to come over to comfort her. But because the head teacher was there, they only dared to shout from afar, and did not dare to step forward.

"I'm not that vulnerable!" Nancy blew her nose vigorously and tried to calm her sobbing tone and said, "I just suddenly thought my classmates were so cute." ”

yes, it's really cute. If Nancy saw this scene, she would definitely cry silently. There was no trace of malice in everyone, and they all sincerely comforted her and supported her. An ugly girl who everyone hates to complain about will one day be loved and supported by everyone.

"All the sophomores." Principal Hu Rong suddenly shouted into the microphone to calm down the noise below. Everyone stopped cheering and sobbing, and returned to the stage with their eyes brushed.

What's wrong? Is it to criticize them now? The sophomore students all thought sourly in their hearts.

"Kids." Hu Rong changed his affectionate title, "It's not good to be too eager, I haven't finished talking about it yet." In this joint examination, the Municipal Education Bureau made a mistake. The exam papers for the second and third years of high school were reversed. ”

Got it reversed...... Got it reversed......

The last three words of the principal began to be played in a loop in the hearts of the whole school, and everyone was stunned. But no one cheered or questioned it anymore, they must have heard it all this time!

For the first time since the flag-raising ceremony began, the playground was so silent that you could even hear the sound of vehicles moving on the road outside the playground wall.

"Because the exam papers are very confidential, they were not all printed and sealed until the day before the exam. It wasn't until the next day that the two exams were over, and the teachers at the Municipal Education Bureau found that the test papers were wrong. However, it is too late to convey to various schools to replace the test papers, so they will simply make mistakes and focus on testing the strength of sophomore students in various colleges and universities. Hu Rong laughed heartily, seemingly very satisfied with the mistake.

In other words, the difficulty of this test is equivalent to that of the college entrance examination. I am glad to see that many sophomores have reached the level of double education in the stage with one year of study remaining, which is gratifying! Of course, the most important point is that our average score is 0.5 points higher than that of the First High School of HKUST! Let's Sixian No. 1 Middle School raise our eyebrows and puff up! ”

"Although the average scores of the first and third grades of high school are still at the bottom, everyone has made great progress compared to the last monthly exam, and I still congratulate everyone!"

"Finally, I would like to congratulate Nancy in the second (3rd) year of high school alone! Congratulations on winning the first place in the city in this joint entrance examination! 741 points! A veritable number one! Above the first place in all grade levels! Cheer, children! ”

The headmaster's words slammed into everyone's hearts like a hammer, and the numbers "0.5 points" and "741 points" were like a huge whirlpool, trying to turn their heads to vertigo.

It took a long time for the first cheer to burst out of the crowd: "We? It worked! ”

"Zero-fifth! We surpassed the First High School of HKUST! ”

"Unprecedented success! Ahhh I've lost a lot of weight! ”

"We have invisibly given the school such a big face! To be honest, I felt that the topic was a bit difficult at the time, and I almost couldn't do it. Isn't it in vain to work hard for so many days? Then I gritted my teeth and came up with a whim! ”

"Don't be so superb! It's all thanks to Nancy! Nancy! Nancy! ”

"Nancy! Nancy! ”

Someone brought it up, and suddenly the entire sophomore shouted loudly. The sound is like a tide, full of passion, and it shakes the earth. After so many days, it's really worth it at this moment! It's worth it!

On the first year of high school, after all, it gave the school such a big face, and the elementary school brothers and sisters also shouted this unfamiliar name.

The voices of the members of the senior sports department have long been drowned out in this call, driving the rhythm of the group of people around them. This cry soon spread like a ripple in the third year of high school.

"Nancy! Nancy! ”

For a time, the playground of Sixian No. 1 Middle School was fully covered by this call.

Hu Rong did not stop these students from admiring a classmate so much, and he stood calmly on the platform with a smile, like a statue. In the crowd like a wave, the girl who looked at the second (3) class of high school from afar gave a thumbs up representing the highest honor.

And Ren Mu, in this piece of call. Suddenly, I smiled easily. Lips flicked open, and clear words came out of his mouth, melting into this voice:

"Nancy. Nancy. ”
