Chapter 53 The heroine’s cannon fodder sister (5)
Early in the morning, the whole family sat around the table to eat. Jiang Shansheng looked unhappy. He kept chewing pancakes with a frown on his face and drank porridge loudly. He was obviously unhappy.
But at this time, he still continued to fight without blinking.
"Dad, I want to go to school."
Jiang Shansheng continued to drink porridge and didn't intend to pay attention to her at all.
Jiang Lai refused to give up. He simply sat next to him with a small horse and kept talking.
"I want to go to school, I want to go to school, I want to go to school."
"You go to Xiong School! With your grades, if they are a fraction of your sister's, I will send you to school!"
Jiang Lai was not affected at all and continued to read.
"You send me to school, and I promise to study hard. If I don't get into the top ten of my class in the final exam at the end of the year, I will go home."
"Pfft..."
Jiang Qiuhe, who was drinking porridge on the side, couldn't help laughing, and tapped Jiang Lai's head with chopsticks.
"With your brain, you are still in the top ten in the class? You are probably in the bottom ten in the class!"
Jiang Lai pushed his chopsticks away and continued to promise.
"Anyway, just let me try it for one semester. If it doesn't work, I will go home and get married, to He Xing."
"Forget it, Dad, let her give it a try. What can a little girl do if she doesn't study? It's not good to marry young."
Sure enough, Jiang Qu, who had been silent all this time, spoke up.
She spoke with weight, and Jiang Shansheng looked at Jiang Lai with helplessness on his face.
"It would be great if you, the girl, could have half as much trouble as your sister, and I could live a few more years."
"Don't worry, dad. Once you're happy when I get into a good university, maybe I can live a long life."
Jiang Shansheng glared at her.
"Glib tongue, if you don't do well in the exam, just go home and get married!"
"Okay dad!"
In this way, Jiang Lai regained his academic status as he wished, and with some connections from relatives in the county, he was admitted to the first year of high school in the county's No. 1 Middle School.
Because everyone has already started school for more than a month, by the time Jiang Lai came in, he had almost finished studying half of the books for this semester.
She was placed in the last row. This row was full of boys who slept in class, went out and made trouble. Next to Jiang Lai was the most troublesome student in the class. He had poor grades and was undisciplined and had a bad temper. The teacher was not willing to give up. Classmates who like him are afraid of him, but because of his relatively strong relationship, even the principal has nothing to do with him and can only arrange for teachers in various subjects to ignore his existence as much as possible.
The first thing Jiang Lai did when he sat down was to open the textbook and study. He thought that the learning content in this era would be a little simpler, but he didn't expect that it would be no different from the difficulty level a few decades later. Especially mathematics, which gave Jiang Lai a headache. .
If she wanted to catch up, she had to start catching up now.
She could probably understand some of what the teacher said during class, but in the end she still had to practice.
Jiang Lai spent a whole day looking through the mathematics textbook distributed in the class. He could remember most of the formulas. In order to remember them more firmly, Jiang Lai simply spent a lot of time working backwards on the formulas and put all the formulas in his mind. Keep the evolution process in mind.
In this way, she became the hardest-working student in the class, but her first end-of-month exam results were not satisfactory and she only ranked in the middle of the class.
However, her ability to maintain an average level even though she has fallen behind so much has won the admiration of her classmates, and the teacher also likes her, because the first thing Jiang Lai did after class was to rush to the teachers' offices of each subject and ask questions. question.
"The calculations here are prone to errors because there is a condition that many students ignore, which is why you can't get the correct result by working backwards."
Jiang Lai suddenly understood and nodded repeatedly. After writing down the key points, he asked the math teacher.
"Teacher, is there anyone selling tutorial books near our school? I want to buy some questions to brush up on."
"Guidance books... there are some. They are available in the bookstore behind the school. You are very right about this. Some people do not agree with the question-and-answer tactic and think that learning should be done in a relaxed way. But mathematics is different. You do The more questions you answer, the more confidence you will have to pass the exam. Your ability in the field is definitely better than that of students who don't answer questions. Jiang Lai, although your current math scores are only at the middle to lower level in the class, I believe that as long as you continue to study in this way, your math scores will soon improve. Can go up!”
"Thank you, teacher!"
Jiang Lai came out of the teacher's office again with her textbooks in her arms. The students in the corridor lowered their heads and whispered when they saw her.
"That's her. She goes to the office every day and her grades are average."
"Some people are like this. No matter how hard they try, it's useless. They might as well find a good way to learn."
"I heard that she is the sister of Jiang Qu, who was in the second year of high school. She dropped out of school before and then came back to continue her studies."
"Jiang Qu? Is that Jiang Qu who is in the top ten in grade?"
"Yes, the two sisters look nothing alike. Jiang Qu is white and beautiful, but Jiang Lai has very dark skin and is a little fat."
Little Pudding repeated everything he had overheard to Jiang Lai, his tone full of ridicule.
"Little fat girl, don't eat."
Jiang Lai was in the cafeteria, nibbling on the white flour buns he brought from home, and drinking a three-cent bowl of egg soup without any distractions. His mind was filled with the big question he just did.
Seeing her like this, Little Pudding felt bored.
"You've become a nerd."
"Shut up and don't disturb my study."
"Jiang Lai, aren't you? The task is just for you to get into college. You look like you are going to Tsinghua University and Peking University."
Jiang Lai raised his eyebrows.
"Any questions?"
"Holy crap, do you really want to take the Qingbei exam? Do you know that your county has never produced a Qingbei student in so many years?"
"Yeah, but soon."
Jiang Lai's confidence made Little Pudding speechless, sighing that there are such confident people in this world.
"It's okay, who are you competing with?"
Jiang Lai thought for a while and shook his head.
"You take care of me."
"Yes, I don't care about you, little fat girl. But don't worry, our prize is the most beautiful little village girl, and you will be able to see it soon."
A week passed quickly, and Jiang Lai was going home to live on Saturday and weekend.
Jiang Shansheng originally asked the sisters to come back together after the holiday. When Jiang Lai packed his schoolbag and went to the carport to look for Jiang Qu, he had disappeared and left a bicycle behind. Jiang Qu's classmates told Jiang Lai.
"Your sister said she took someone else's car to go back first, and asked you to ride a foreign car back."
Jiang Lai frowned and looked at the tall bicycle in front of him with some confusion.
"What are you looking at?"
"I can't ride a bicycle."
"..."
In this way, Jiang Lai not only had to walk back, but also had to push a heavy old-fashioned bicycle in his hand.
We started pushing back at 5:30 in the afternoon, and it was getting dark by 7 o'clock. When the evening wind blew, I couldn't help but shiver all over my body, but I had only walked less than half of the way home. (End of chapter)
