Chapter 18: A Little Peak in Life

The classroom was unusually quiet, except for the sound of the tip of the pen rubbing against the paper, and occasionally two or three subtle "clicks" of opening the stationery box on the lid.

Teacher Ren's eyes have been staying in the first three rows, and the first three rows are all good students in the top 20 in the class. Especially the first row, it is simply the group pet of the teachers.

How many students can be admitted to the top class at the beginning of the school are linked to whether the teacher has a bonus and how much bonus they can have.

Teacher Ren leaned over, looked at the test paper made by the class leader Huang Li, raised his hand and touched the Mediterranean hairstyle, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

Huang Li seemed to sense the dissatisfaction coming from the math teacher, and hurriedly took the finished math test paper to the front for inspection.

Teacher Ren flattened his mouth and walked to Luo Wei, the deputy class leader. Leaning over, his eyes were like a searchlight, and when he saw the first question in the test paper, he couldn't help frowning slightly.

Luo Wei hadn't done a good test paper yet, and the speed made him not very satisfied.

Feeling Teacher Ren's silent sigh, Luo Wei suddenly sweated on his forehead. The pen also sped up, and the whole head was buried in the test paper.

Teacher Ren's eyebrows hadn't yet opened, and they twisted into a pimple when he saw this.

I thought I couldn't see you if I buried my head in the test paper, and the boy was like a girl, shy.

"Quack, squeak."

The chair made an old squabbling sound, and it was dragged away from the desk unwillingly. The leg of the desk swayed, which also showed old age.

Ma Hongmei pressed her elbows against the desk. The desk is steady.

Li Jixiang stood up from the last row and walked towards the podium with the finished test papers. She didn't squint, ignoring Teacher Ren who was standing next to Luo Wei in a row by the door.

"Li Jixiang, are you done?"

Teacher Ren pulled his face, his eyes were not angry but threatening, and he stepped up to the podium before Li Jixiang.

"I'll hand in the papers."

Li Jixiang put the two test papers on the table, and stood with his eyebrows bowed and waited for the marking.

Teacher Ren's plan is to wait for the class leader Huang Li and the deputy class leader Luo Wei to hand in the papers and correct the mistakes, and let them help correct the students' test tickets. Who would have thought that the first person to hand in the test paper would be Li Jixiang!

Li Jixiang usually wilts, and his math scores hovered in the bottom two or three of the class. Teacher Ren has given up on this kind of students with poor backgrounds and poor family backgrounds, and the results of the junior high school exam only look at the top students, and the average score is not important. But he didn't want this kind of student to disrupt class discipline. Because Li Jixiang was the first to hand in the test paper, the whole class was waiting to see the excitement.

Teacher Ren asked not to leave the classroom if he didn't answer correctly, and everyone wanted to see Li Jixiang make a fool of himself. Especially the squad leader Huang Li, whose already small facial features were completely crowded together at this time, a pair of bird-like eyes blinking with disdainful gaze.

After a glance, he found that Li Jixiang's two test papers were full, and Teacher Ren pressed the two test papers together and judged the papers from the beginning.

"First question, well, that's right."

Putting a check mark on the first calculation question of Li Jixiang's first test paper, Mr. Ren felt that it was not unusual. After all, he teaches well, and even the worst students will do two questions. The first few calculation questions in the first paper are relatively simple.

After playing ten checks in a row, Teacher Ren glanced at Li Jixiang in surprise and nodded in approval. He continued to bow his head and play the check, all the way to the end, and his body sitting in the chair began to shake.

Li Jixiang lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes silently, just waiting for Teacher Ren to finish the test paper and let her go.

"It can't be!"

Teacher Ren's shaky body stood up excitedly. He glanced at Li Jixiang, and then at the classmate in front of Li Jixiang's seat. One of the classmates in front of Li Jixiang's seat bit his pen cap and meditated, and the other sighed as if he was sighing.

The penultimate two rows are all students with the same bottom-ranked rankings, and it is absolutely impossible for Li Jixiang to copy the answers.

It's even more impossible to expose the topic! Today's quiz was selected by him at home last night, and as soon as he arrived at school in the morning, he personally carved out the wax plates, and printed them one by one with a roller in the mimeograph room. After printing, I took it to the third class of the sixth grade, and I didn't let the test paper leave my hand halfway.

"Teacher, can I go?"

It doesn't matter if you can't, I'm all right, let me go.

Li Jixiang looked at Teacher Ren with an expressionless face.

Walking to the door of the classroom, Li Jixiang turned his head and glanced at Ma Hongmei. Ma Hongmei has been looking at her stupidly, her eyes following her figure and she is reluctant to leave. Li Jixiang scored 100 points, and she will definitely not be wrong when she turns in the papers.

To prevent Teacher Ren from saying that she plagiarized, according to Li Jixiang's instructions, Ma Hongmei deliberately made a few mistakes, and when she handed in the paper and was sent back by Teacher Ren to correct her mistakes, she used the answers written by Li Jixiang on a small piece of paper to correct the mistakes.

Walking into the only shopping mall in Xingqiu Town, Li Jixiang went straight to the bicycle sales counter. The salesman asked her if she had a bicycle ticket, which stopped Li Jixiang. It turns out that you still need to use coupons to buy bicycles, but unfortunately the coupons for buying bicycles are not as easy to get as the coupons she printed to buy rice, and you need to send indicators from the county. And even if you have a bicycle ticket, you have to wait about a week to get it.

"Is it okay for me to overpay?"

"We have rules in the mall."

The business shook his head helplessly, the wad of money that Li Jixiang dug out of his schoolbag was indeed tempting, but she was just a salesperson, and she had no right to get a bicycle ticket.

With the identities of Li Jixiang and Grandma Li, it is impossible to have a self-purchased volume. The salesman made it clear that only the town's employees were eligible to buy bicycle tickets.

"You can ask if anyone has sold their old bikes."

The salesman was kind to guide, but Li Jixiang disdained to ride someone else's old bicycle. Seeing this, the salesman lowered his voice and said that the mayor's wife should have a bicycle ticket in her hand, and then her eyes blinked, and her eyes were meaningful.

It's not just money! Nothing that can be solved with money is a problem. The mayor's wife must eat rice, and it should be feasible to exchange rice for her purchase coupons.

After a delay in the mall, Xingqiu Primary and Secondary Schools had already finished school when they came out. Li Jixiang followed the crowd of Wuyangyang towards the west end of the town. The more people walked, the fewer people came, and when they reached the door of the store, there were no more students with them.

From a distance, I saw a group of people gathered in front of the blacksmith shop, and among a group of brightly dressed women, Grandma Li's blue cloth jacket was particularly conspicuous.

Li Jixiang is happy, the business of selling rice is good, and the results of the exam are good, and she has reached the peak of her current life.

"Jixiang, Jixiang, you're back!"

Grandma Li inadvertently raised her head, saw her granddaughter from the waist and hips of the women around her, and shouted with a smile from ear to ear.

I don't know if it was because of Grandma Li's shouting, the women suddenly made birds and beasts, each carrying a bag of rice, and suddenly scattered and walked away.

When Li Jixiang walked to the door of the blacksmith shop, Grandma Li was the only one left.

Grandma Li handed over all the money from selling rice in the morning and the coupons for buying rice that she had recovered.

Seeing the top few rice coupons, Li Jixiang suddenly understood why the women ran away.
