Chapter 19 Liberal Arts and Sciences
The news that the second year of high school was about to start the division of arts and sciences was circulating among the students, and everyone seemed to have a hot and uneasy feeling spreading.
The liberal arts and sciences are another important choice in their lives, because the difference between liberal arts and science means that the universities and majors that can be applied for in the college entrance examination are completely different, which makes everyone feel a little confused about the future. Secondly, the division of arts and sciences means that the current stable class structure will be disrupted again, and students who used to sit together to study will appear in different classes depending on the direction of choosing arts and sciences.
There are 6 classes in the second year of Jiangzhou No. 1 High School, so it will be split into 4 science classes and 2 liberal arts classes in the future.
In fact, Qin Ran disagrees with the division of arts and sciences, because in high school, students' growth is in a critical period, and their outlook on life, morality and world view are rapidly taking shape. Although the liberal arts and sciences have reduced the burden on students, in the long run, they are not conducive to the overall and healthy development of people.
However, under the current education system, especially in the face of the college entrance examination, the division of arts and sciences is not a trend that Qin Ran can resist. Because although even the Ministry of Education has called for the abolition of arts and sciences, Qin Ran can clearly remember that this system will continue for more than ten years.
Therefore, some students who have a good relationship have asked each other to see which side they choose to apply for.
The number of universities enrolled in physical chemistry is large but the competition is fierce; Liberal arts, politics and history, the competition is relatively not fierce, but there are few majors to choose to apply for in the college entrance examination; Meanwhile. Students will also consider their own grades in their hearts, and how to skip the college entrance examination more easily is also a major consideration in the end.
In the midst of the turmoil, parents are of course obligated to get involved. Take the initiative to go to school and talk to teachers about your child's future.
Unlike his classmates, Qin Ran is the calmest person. He doesn't care, the Faculty of Economics of Tianjing University will recruit students in the liberal arts and sciences, and he is confident that he can be admitted to the university of his choice. After Tianjing University recruits students, it will not immediately subdivide majors in the faculties, and the freshman year is mainly a basic course, and the sophomore year will let the students choose.
Once the pressure of going to school is resolved. Then high school life will become very comfortable, this is Qin Ran's current state of life.
The lunch break lasted for one and a half hours, so Qin Ran would go to the library teacher's reading room to take a break after lunch. Because of this time. A new cafeteria building is being built on the school floor, and the site has to do some heavy work during the students' lunch break, after all, in order to minimize noise during school hours. It is said that after the completion of the new cafeteria, there are two areas for students and teachers, and small stir-fried and local snacks have been added. It can be compared to the quality of the provincial government's canteen.
The food in the provincial government canteen is really good. Qin Ran recalled the scene of dining with the provincial elder yesterday. Together with Secretary Ding, the three of them only ate a total of 50 yuan of stir-fry, of course, it was the governor's treat. However, this 50 yuan stir-fry starts at least 200 yuan outside, after all, the canteen is an invisible benefit of the government department.
Qin Ran thinks that he is not picky about life, but he always feels that the current food in Jiangzhou No. 1 Middle School is a little difficult to swallow. I don't know if it's because the living environment has changed, I am considered rich, and I have begun to have a little higher requirements for food. At noon, students are not allowed to go out at will. So it is necessary to eat in the school cafeteria. Fortunately, President Zheng Liguo heard the voices of teachers and students. Decided to completely eradicate the source of the most dissatisfied complaints that was on his desk every year.
Since the last time Qin Ran and the two girls were in the same room in the reading room, the three of them had never appeared in this room at the same time. Because Qin Ran is very busy these days and often asks for leave, and Wang Yaxuan is also running around for the school's student union to launch a new big initiative, but Ye Linghan is the person who has come here the most.
"Yo-"
Ye Linghan came to the teacher's reading room, found that the door was open, stretched out his head to look, and found that Qin Ran was stretching his feet on the platform, leaning back on the chair with his head tilted and closing his eyes to recuperate.
Qin Ran was already familiar with the voice of the short-haired girl, and when he heard it, he knew who it was.
"Heyβ"
Qin Ran kept his posture still, still with his eyes closed, and said hello.
Although it was not explicitly stated, the three of them, a man and a woman, tacitly did not reveal the news of the teacher's reading room, a holy place of rest, so it became an exclusive leisure place for the three of them.
"It's too noisy over there in the classroom, so it's quieter here."
Walking to the seat next to the window, Ye Linghan took out a handkerchief from his schoolbag, wiped the sweat on his forehead and said.
"yes, stealing half a day's free."
A breeze blew from the window, and Qin Ran went on a business trip to Tianjing a few days ago, and after he came back, he tensed his nerves to meet with Governor Li Zhiguo, and he had not been able to relax well, so he took the opportunity to rest.
Hearing the sound of books on the table, Qin Ran quickly withdrew his feet stretched out on the table, if he continued to maintain his original posture, it would be disrespectful to the girl reading at the same table. Then he opened his eyes, and while Ye Linghan was not paying attention, Qin Ran quietly stared at her face and looked at her carefully for a while, as if he was looking for something.
The short-haired girl had actually noticed Qin Ran's small movements earlier, but she deliberately pretended not to know. Although he was looking down and flipping through the book without knowing it, his face was hot, because Qin Ran didn't leave after a peek like other boys, but kept staring at him for several seconds. Ye Linghan felt that the sweat on his forehead was about to come out again, although he didn't hate it in his heart, it was really embarrassing.
"Wow-"
A sound of footsteps outside the corridor relieved Ye Linghan from the embarrassment just now.
"What a coincidence!"
Wang Yaxuan appeared at the door and said.
Today she didn't have the same murderous aura as last time, but looked quite happy.
"Starting next week, well-known professors from several major universities will come to our school to give a series of free lectures, which is a benefit that our student union will seek for everyone in the new semester. You guys are the first to know, how's that? β
It turns out that this is what she has been busy with recently, and it is not to mention how troublesome it is to invite professors from key universities in Jiangzhou to come to give lectures.
"I'll just say that it's the right choice to vote for you as the president of the school's student union."
Facing Wang Yaxuan, who was full of interest. Qin Ran praised it very sensibly.
"Congratulations!"
Ye Linghan said lukewarmly. Although Wang Yaxuan inadvertently relieved herself just now, the relationship between the two in a secret war is not so easy to solve.
"Thank you!"
Wang Yaxuan came to her fixed seat and put down her schoolbag and said to the other two with a smile.
In the days when Qin Ran was on a business trip, Wang Yaxuan and Ye Linghan appeared in the teacher's reading room at the same time. But the two sides didn't do much. got along like ordinary classmates, and the two chatted politely. Ye Linghan did not grab Wang Yaxuan's seat first, but still sat back by the window. And Wang Yaxuan also sat back on the opposite side of Qin Ran's position, and the two girls recognized each other's fixed ownership of the seats.
War and peace can be summarized as the current relationship between Wang Yaxuan and Ye Linghan.
"Liberal arts and sciences are going to be separated, what are your plans?"
Hearing that Wang Yaxuan took the initiative to ask Qin Ran, Ye Linghan hurriedly pricked up his ears to pay attention.
"It's not decided yet. Look at the grades, in fact, I like both arts and sciences. β
Qin Ran gave a vague answer.
"What about the two of you, how do you choose?"
Looking at the two girls. Qin Ran asked rhetorically.
"My family asked me to choose science, but I didn't decide."
Wang Yaxuan thought for a while and replied.
"I'm going to see the situation first."
Seeing the two of them looking at him, Ye Linghan spread his hands and said.
"It would be nice if I didn't divide the subject, I'm quite interested in politics and history during this time."
The books Qin Ran has read recently are basically political history. So he felt it and said it casually.
This rushing sentence fell into the eyes of those who care. The taste is different.
In fact, Wang Yaxuan and Ye Linghan originally intended to apply for science, but seeing that Qin Ran didn't express his position, they didn't say anything, but now Qin Ran's words made them hesitate. Qin Ran's grades in the class were average, and his political and historical grades were better than those in physical chemistry, so what he just said had a great reference.
Why is Qin Ran's political and historical results better?
Because during the exam, the answers to the subjective questions of the Q&A are written casually, and the teacher will give a few points as appropriate. Although Qin Ran deliberately controlled the score, he did not notice that the historical score of the government was slightly higher.
Tomorrow is the date to decide on the liberal arts and sciences sub-majors, so these two girls came to ask Qin Ran today.
The next day. Huo Fang, the head teacher, came to the classroom and asked the students to submit a volunteer form for the arts and sciences sub-subjects.
I struggled for a while. Ye Linghan first ticked the "liberal arts" column. Wang Yaxuan glanced at the position of the back door and found that Qin Ran seemed to have finished chatting with Shen Qinxiao, and she resolutely ticked the "liberal arts" place.
The division of arts and sciences is a big deal, so as soon as Huo Fang took the volunteer form back to the office, many teachers surrounded him to help with the statistics.
The choices of several other top students in the class were expected by the teachers.
"What, liberal arts?"
Ye Linghan's volunteer form was picked out first, this transferred girl showed excellent learning ability, especially in science, why did she choose liberal arts?
"It's a pity!"
There was a burst of discussion from the teachers.
"Wang Yaxuanβ"
A teacher chose Wang Yaxuan's volunteer form.
Hearing the name of this campus star, everyone reached out to check.
"Liberal arts again?"
The teacher with the volunteer form asked in disbelief.
"Hey, it seems that girls love to study liberal arts."
A class teacher who teaches history in another class lamented.
"I met her after class that day, and she said she wanted to continue my class!"
The middle-aged female chemistry teacher muttered to herself.
The two most dazzling outstanding girls in the first class of the second year of high school both chose liberal arts, which caused a great sensation in the office of the sophomore teacher.
The other teacher was holding Qin Ran's volunteer form in his hand, and he was ticked in the "Science" column, but he was definitely the object of no one's attention now, and everyone paid attention to the two girls.
When she was in the library that day, Wang Yaxuan said that her family let her choose science, but in fact, Qin Ran had already made a decision in his heart, but he didn't say it clearly.
"Haha, old Gong. Congratulations, with these two cadres, the strength of your liberal arts class has increased greatly! β
Other teachers are already congratulating Teacher Gong, who is about to become the head teacher of the key class of liberal arts.
"Unexpected delight. Hehe. β
The future head teacher of the liberal arts class did not expect to recruit such a talent, and his modest expression could not hide his pride.
After counting the students' volunteer lists, Huo Fang was not idle, she would still be the head teacher of the key science class in the future, but she didn't want to let Wang Yaxuan and Ye Linghan go.
She is already familiar with the move of changing her will, and many of the previous graduates have been pulled back to science by her from the liberal arts camp. So when Teacher Gong from the liberal arts class was happy just now. She just sneered and looked at it without speaking.
"You both chose liberal arts, can you tell me why?"
Huo Fang called Wang Yaxuan and Ye Linghan to the office together, and she was going to do ideological work for the two girls.
When filling in the volunteer form. Both girls had a plan in their hearts that they would be called out by the teacher to ask. But what I didn't expect was that I didn't count if I filled it in, and even the person who had been secretly competing with him made the same choice.
Wang Yaxuan and Ye Linghan glanced at each other, and there was surprise and a hint of understanding in their complicated eyes.
"I like liberal arts."
Facing Huo Fang's inquiry. Ye Linghan said first.
"I also like liberal arts."
Wang Yaxuan then replied.
I saw the two girls answer resolutely. Huo Fang was a little at a loss for a while.
If the two girls sued her, the real reason was because a boy had said before that they wanted to choose liberal arts, so the two of them did it, Huo Fang guaranteed that he was even more speechless.
"You two actually do better in science, which was shown in the previous exam. Moreover, the science teachers have reported that you are more interested in science, and everyone is optimistic about your development in science. If you choose to study liberal arts, it is not ideal for you to readjust to the environment in a new class. If you want to change it now, the teacher can help you fix it. β
Be reasonable. Huo Fang continued to persuade the two girls.
Silent and unanswered, the two remained unmoved.
See here. Huo Fang thought about it and decided to snub the two of them for a while, so that they could think about it carefully. So she took out the roster of volunteers she had just put together and began to look for the next student who would persuade her to change her career.
"When you get to a new class, you may no longer be able to study with these classmates, and there must be your good friends among them."
Huo Fang handed the volunteer roster to the two girls and said.
Seeing the volunteer roster, Wang Yaxuan and Ye Linghan suddenly reacted, the two glanced at each other, and read the same meaning from each other's eyes.
Now the two of them have made a personal decision in a hurry before they are completely sure of the boy's final choice. Now that the roster of volunteers is in front of you, the most correct thing to do is to look through his volunteers before making a final decision.
"Teacher Huo, don't you mind if we look through it, right?"
Seeing the two girls speak, it meant that things might have taken a turn for the better, and of course Huo Fang nodded in agreement.
Wang Yaxuan took the volunteer roster and quickly opened it to check. At the same time, Ye Linghan also stretched out his head and helped hold the roster with his hand, so that Wang Yaxuan could quickly find the boy's name.
searched by student number, and soon the two found Qin Ran's name.
"Science"
The result surprised the two girls, who looked at each other and didn't think that they had almost been self-defeating today.
"Well, Mr. Huo, I decided to listen to you, or science is more suitable for me, so I changed my intention to study science."
Wang Yaxuan said first.
"I also thought that science was more interesting than liberal arts, so I switched back to science classes."
There is no doubt that Ye Linghan of course immediately changed his will.
In an instant, the two girls changed their wishes, and they originally planned to spend some more effort to persuade them, but Huo Fang himself was a little confused.
"Really? You've all decided to switch back to science? β
Faced with the head teacher's question again, the two girls said in unison.
"Back to science!"
Coming out of the teacher's office, Wang Yaxuan sighed, and Ye Linghan also smiled bitterly, both of them seemed to have a relationship with the farce just now.
"Be sure to teach that person a lesson!"
Wang Yaxuan took the initiative to say to Ye Linghan.
"Agreed, you can't just leave it at that!"
Hatred for someone's common hatred made the two girls decide to join hands for the first time to punish him once.
Wang Yaxuan and Ye Linghan were called away by the head teacher, Qin Ran was still a little puzzled when he saw this, and when he saw them coming back after waiting for a while, he wanted to ask them what the problem was, after all, the three of them were relatively familiar, but they ushered in two big eyes.
A woman turns her face faster than she turns a book, and Qin Ran thought very much alone, he didn't do anything wrong! (To be continued......)
PS: I'm late to come back today, so I'll change the 4500-word chapter first, and I'll make up for the 9000-word update tomorrow 3, I'm really sorry.
