25. Mid-term exams
Time flies really fast, and in a blink of an eye, Jiang Tao has been assigned to Xinzhai Middle School for almost half a year. Since they no longer deliver goods to Ji Yanran, the two of them just call each other a few times a week to greet each other, Jiang Tao is not embarrassed to ask Ji Yanran about other mountain goods, he knows that there is good news, and Sister Ji will tell him in time.
Every night after ten o'clock, Jiang Yingying will call Jiang Tao to tell her heart, at first Jiang Tao deliberately avoided Zhang Jianxin, and then felt that there was no need for this, so she told Zhang Jianxin about her situation, when Zhang Jianxin heard that in just a few months, Jiang Tao was already worth more than 100,000 yuan, and his surprised mouth couldn't close for a long time. "Brother, if I use money in the future, you have to pull me. Why don't I do it with you? Zhang Jianxin was also excited.
"Brother Zhang, I will cooperate with you if I have the chance." Through several months of contact, Jiang Tao knew that Zhang Jianxin was a very sincere person with strong logical thinking skills, and if he had the opportunity, he would not hesitate to choose Zhang Jianxin as a partner.
In fact, Jiang Tao didn't know that the core of the future Shuangjiang Group had been initially formed at this moment.
There are still a few days to go to the midterm exams, the atmosphere in the school is also tense, Jiang Tao put more energy and time, put more energy and time on the students, the class style of the third and second classes of junior high school is not the same, the students who study well take the initiative to make up for the poor students, and the poor students also take the initiative to ask questions to the subject teacher, the whole class is like a high-speed train, unstoppable.
Now Jiang Tao is no longer short of money, he paid for books, pens, and review books to give to students from poor families, and gave the students' meal cards to the meal money. even bought breakfast milk for the students living in the school, all of which deeply touched the students, and people's hearts changed, are you worthy of Teacher Jiang? It became the motto of the class. The teachers at the school had everything to say about this, and when Zhang Jianxin said a lot of ugly things to Jiang Tao, Jiang Tao smiled faintly: "Money is used to spend." Mouth, grow on other people's faces, let them go. ”
Under the influence of Jiang Tao, Zhang Jianxin also spent more time on duty, and he was much more dedicated than before.
Tomorrow is the exam, in the evening self-study, Jiang Tao said to the students: "Students, tomorrow will be a small test, for you, but also for me, I have seen the progress of our class for half a year, but what does progress depend on to prove - that is, grades!" I believe in you, you will use facts to prove that our junior high school and second class are the best classes in Xinzhai Middle School, and they are also the best in the whole Zhangning, do you have confidence? ”
"Yes!! Long live the second class of junior high school! The neat and loud voice echoed in the campus of Xinzhai Middle School.
When Fei Xinquan heard the movement, he was so frightened that he hurriedly ran out of the office to check, but he didn't see anything abnormal, scratched his head suspiciously, and went back.
The midterm examination is very tightly organized, the examination room is a mixed examination room of the first and third junior high school, the students of the first and third junior high school sit alternately, eliminating the possibility of plagiarism, and the invigilator is all the teachers of Zhang Ning No. 1 Middle School, pulled by a bus. Even the school was not allowed to take care of lunch, and the team leader of Zhang Ning No. 1 Middle School was responsible for contacting the hotel to take care of himself.
The teachers of Xinzhai Middle School, except for the class teacher, are all on vacation and are not allowed to stay on campus. Jiang Tao was very puzzled when he saw this situation, Zhang Jianxin explained that in recent years, Zhang Ning's college entrance examination results were very unsatisfactory, and the director of the education commission was criticized by the county leaders many times, so he decided to start from junior high school and select all the good students with real grades to Zhang Ning's experimental class, and strive to make a comeback in the college entrance examination.
After listening to Zhang Jianxin's explanation, Jiang Tao was helpless, China's national conditions are like this, and exam-oriented education cannot be changed in a short period of time.
During the two-and-a-half-day exam, Jiang Tao did not ask the students about the exam in the class except for urging them to eat well and rest well, because he didn't want to add any pressure to the students. However, many students told Jiang Tao that they generally felt that they had done well in the exam this time. Jiang Tao smiled at the student and only said one sentence: "I believe in you." ”
After the exam, the school had a few days off, Jiang Tao rode his bicycle home, and for two weeks, he didn't go back, Yingying cried on the phone, and said that Jiang Tao's mother also missed him. Jiang Tao often goes back after work, his father and mother are used to their son's homecoming, why don't they go back, they are not suitable for being a father and mother.
Jiang Yingying knew that Jiang Tao was coming back today, so she ran to Jiang Tao's house early, and deliberately brought the gold necklace that Jiang Tao bought for her, and when she saw the beautiful appearance of her future daughter-in-law, Jiang Tao's mother couldn't close her mouth. After Jiang Yingying returned home that day, her parents saw their daughter's necklace and asked Yingying who bought it, Jiang Yingying said that Jiang Tao bought it, and her parents were very puzzled, they also knew the economic situation of Jiang Tao's family, Yingying's father also said: "Yingying, I think Taozi's child is not reliable, you see that you can only work, you can earn a few dollars, so I will buy you such a valuable thing, I am afraid that you are a loser." Your mother and I are afraid that you will regret it in the future. ”
"Dad, what do you know? Now Brother Tao is probably the richest person in our township, he now has - twenty - hey, anyway, he is richer than our family. Ying Ying almost slipped out.
"Don't you just pour some mushrooms and make a few bucks, I think that kid just doesn't know how to live." Yingying's father is afraid that his daughter will be wronged in the future.
"What do you know?" Yingying's grandfather spoke, he heard Jiang Yingying and Ji Yanran's phone call a few times, and knew that his granddaughter was not as good as before, "I think Tao, this child, will have a great future, and it is Yingying's blessing to be able to find someone." What age is it now, I don't care about children's affairs, and you don't care. ”
"Dad, then we have to settle it for them as soon as possible, don't the people in the village gossip?" Yingying's father really didn't dare to disobey his old man.
"It came naturally." Grandpa Yingying smoked a dry cigarette and popped out of his mouth with an idiom.
In this way, Jiang Yingying's father and mother can be regarded as acquiescing to Jiang Yingying and Jiang Tao's affairs.
When she arrived at Jiang Tao's house, Jiang Yingying cleaned up the inside and outside of the house, sweating profusely and her fair face became red. After she saw Jiang Tao enter the door, she didn't care that Jiang Tao's father and mother were there, and before Jiang Tao could get off the bicycle, she suddenly pounced and hugged Jiang Tao: "Brother Tao, I miss you so much." Jiang Yingying's eyes were red.
Jiang Tao's bicycle almost fell over, he hurriedly put down the bicycle, hugged Yingying's thin waist, and gently patted her on the back, "Well, I know, let go, my mother is laughing at it." Ying Yingcai reluctantly left Jiang Tao's arms.
Went into the city to deliver goods twice, and now Jiang Tao has more than 200,000 yuan in cash, he knows that he gave his mother the money last time, and his mother didn't spend it, so he didn't give it again, and he didn't tell his mother how much money he had.
"Mother, the school has a few days off, and I will go to the provincial capital with you tomorrow, right? I also booked it with the doctor. Jiang Tao said to his mother.
Thinking that she had hope to walk on the ground, Jiang Taoniang's tears couldn't help but flow, "Tao, for so many years, I have dragged you and your father down, if I hadn't been looking forward to you, I would have died a long time ago." Tao, is the money enough? If it's not enough, my mother will wait a few more years. ”
Jiang Tao's father also secretly wiped his tears on the side, and hurriedly took out the Hade door and lit a cigarette. In the past six months, Jiang Tao's father's cigarettes are also high-end in the village, and he usually smokes dry tobacco when he goes out, and secretly smokes Hademen when he is at home, he is afraid that people will gossip.
"Mother, don't worry, money is not a problem. Dad, you will go to Erzhu in a while and set a car with him. ”
"I'll go." Jiang Tao's father immediately went out.
"Brother Tao, I'll go tomorrow too, and I'll support my aunt, it's not convenient for you." Jiang Yingying said to Jiang Tao.
"Okay." Jiang Tao thought about it, it was indeed not very convenient for him to accompany his mother to bed, so he agreed, in fact, he knew that even if he didn't agree, Jiang Yingying would go.
"Tao, do you think we have anything else to prepare?" Jiang Taoniang has never been far away.
"Mother, you don't have to be careful, you don't have to bring anything. My father didn't want him to go, and he couldn't do it if there was no one at home. ”
"I'm afraid your father doesn't want to?"
"When my father comes back, you can talk to him." Jiang Tao was afraid of being scolded.
Sure enough, when Jiang Tao's father heard that he was not allowed to go to the hospital, he put down his face and squatted in the patio to smoke. Jiang Tao persuaded his father to be good, saying that it was inconvenient in the hospital, that the operation of his mother's disease was not very complicated, and that the doctor said that the safety factor was very high, and Jiang Tao's father was better. However, he added: "I want to send your mother to Zhangning, and I will pick it up when I come back." Jiang Tao hurriedly agreed, after all, it is not difficult to install more tractors.
Jiang Yingying came home very late, and under the window of her father, she told her parents that she was going to go to the city tomorrow to accompany Jiang Tao's mother to see a doctor, and her parents didn't say anything, but just asked her to bring a few more changes of clothes. They knew in their hearts that the woman couldn't help herself, and the child's heart had already been placed on Jiang Tao. Ay! Let her go.
