Chapter 615 The Unexpected Monthly Exam
After having a good time, the meal Zhang Jianwen invited was not over yet.
According to the custom of everyone in the village, there is a hot tea after the meal.
Especially since it is still night time, everyone is not in a hurry to do anything. They just wait for time to go to bed when they go home. Since there are so many people now, everyone is not in a hurry to go home and get together to set up a dragon gate formation.
Suddenly, Zhang An felt that his son had not moved for a long time. He looked down and found that the little guy had fallen asleep on his lap.
Then he looked at his phone and realized that it was already past nine o'clock, which was getting late.
"Uncle, then you continue chatting until all of us fall asleep. I will take him back to sleep."
Originally, Zhang Jianwen and his group were the topic of the older generation, but Zhang An, as the younger generation, , it is difficult to interrupt, and Zhang Ping is not at home today.
But in the village, there is no reason to leave after eating at someone else's house, and he didn't want to ruin everyone's interest, so even if he couldn't chat, he sat aside.
But now that Xiao Siqi was asleep, it gave him a reason to withdraw early.
"Okay, okay, let's go quickly. It's a bit windy outside. Remember to cover Qi Qi with your clothes."
Zhang Jianwen glanced at Xiao Siqi, who was already asleep, and stood up at the same time He picked up Zhang An's coat cover and covered the little guy.
Back home, Wang Fang saw that her grandson was already asleep. She quickly took her hand and took off her shoes before carrying him to bed.
When I came out again, I kept complaining that Zhang An came back too late.
Zhang An didn’t say anything, just kept giggling.
"Okay, hurry up and take a shower. I asked you to drink less, but you still stink of alcohol."
Wang Fang couldn't do anything to him, but just smelling this The strong smell of alcohol showed that Zhang An drank a lot tonight.
"Mom, it's really not my fault. Uncle Youweimin and Uncle Youcai are here. If I don't pick up their troubles, they probably won't agree."
Zhang An also agrees. Helplessly, as the host tonight, Uncle Zhang Jianwen didn't make much of a start.
But Huang Weimin and Zhao Youcai are two old drunkards. Once provoked by them, no one else can escape. Zhang An, a junior, has to accompany him, so Zhang An really drank a lot tonight.
He went back to the bathroom and took a shower. The smell of alcohol, which was not over his head, was suffocated by the heat, which made him a little confused.
Back in the room, Su Ying was working overtime seriously at the desk.
Zhang An originally thought his wife was correcting her homework, but when she came over to take a look, she found a stack of test papers.
“Hey, it’s only been a month since school started, and the midterm exams have already started?”
Having a family member who is a teacher, Zhang An can be said to have a certain grasp of the school’s teaching process.
In the past, Changqing Middle School, from the first to the third grade of junior high school, there were only two exams in a semester.
There is one midterm and one final, and there are never any other exams in between. This is the very disadvantage of rural schools.
So now Zhang An found out that his wife was grading test papers. He thought that the middle term started early for the children in the third grade of junior high school.
“This is a monthly exam, not a mid-term exam. Our European school has high hopes for this group of children this year, so we decided to conduct a monthly exam every month. Firstly, it is convenient to get a feel for the children. , and secondly, it is also for the convenience of checking and filling in the gaps."
Su Ying just finished correcting the test paper in her hand, stood up and stretched, and said to Zhang An by the way.
"This is indeed what it should be. Those schools in other cities have always had this kind of stage test, and they can keep track of students' learning status at any time. We should really learn more from them on this point."
Zhang An nodded, then turned over the test papers on the table that had been corrected by his wife.
"Hey, are the questions in this paper very simple? Why have I been flipping through it for a long time, but I haven't seen one with less than eighty points?"
Zhang An started to flip through it. I didn't think anything was wrong when I read it, but after flipping through it several times I became uneasy.
Because the currently corrected papers, the worst test paper has a score of 82, which is a bit extraordinary, after all, the current full score is only 100%.
So Zhang An’s first thought was that the school had neglected this test paper and asked too simple questions.
No matter how outstanding the children of this class are, Zhang An has read the final exam papers of last semester, and there are still several students with scores in the 70s.
"No, this time the questions were asked by me personally. Many of the questions are based on real questions from schools in the provincial capital. The difficulty is higher than normal exams."
Su Ying Ye said not calmly, she really didn't expect the children in the two classes to do so well in the exam.
"Then this is a good thing. It means that these little guys have really learned. Why do I see the worry on your face."
It was a good thing, but Zhang An didn't find a trace of joy on his wife's face.
“Hey, I actually want to pass this exam and embarrass them.”
Su Ying said very helplessly. In fact, she deliberately made the test questions more difficult in this monthly exam. of.
After the exam last semester, the average scores of the two classes were much higher than those in the town. Therefore, after the start of this semester, not only the school teachers, but also the students were a little impetuous. To put it bluntly, Pride and complacency.
So Su Ying thought of using this monthly exam to combat the impetuous attitude of the students.
But now that the exam is over, she is really conflicted, feeling happy and disappointed at the same time.
I am happy that this test question is really difficult. Even if it were given to students from schools in the city, they would not get such good results.
Disappointed that her purpose of suppressing the students' impatience and teaching them a lesson failed.
So she was very worried that these children would have a big fall in the future.
“Hey, wife, you are a bit obsessed with the authorities. Think about it, they can get such excellent results on such a difficult test, which proves that they have learned something. You don’t have to worry about it at all. "Many."
Zhang An held his wife in his arms and said happily.
"Okay, it's getting late, there are so many things left to be graded, I won't be able to grade them all tonight, let's have a rest."
Looking at the thickness of the uncorrected test paper, Zhang An decided not to let his wife work overtime.
Su Ying took a look at the time and found that it was indeed getting late. She immediately stopped insisting. After tidying up, she prepared to turn off the lights and go to bed.
“Daughter-in-law, look at how beautiful the moonlight is tonight. Let’s work hard to give Qiqi a younger brother and sister.”
The smell of alcohol was a little bit high due to the hot water vapor. Zhang An couldn't help but feel fascinated by the fragrant smell of his wife's body.
"No, once you start tossing it, it won't be over. I have a class in the first period tomorrow morning, so I need to go to bed early."
Su Ying felt that her man had already come over, so she quickly refused.
But the arms could not be twisted past the thighs, because the moonlight outside the window was too charming.
Early the next morning, Zhang An did not get up as early as usual. Instead, after waking up, he rubbed his sleepy eyes and still lay there.
After Su Ying packed up, she didn't say anything, but just rolled her eyes at him, the meaning of which was self-evident.
I don’t know how long it took, but the door was pushed open.
"Dad, get up."
As soon as the little guy came in, he lay on the edge of the bed, shaking his dad's big hand and urging him.
"Okay, okay, I'll get up right now."
Zhang An was also helpless. It was rare for him to stay in bed only to be criticized by his son.
Today's weather is a little gloomy, and there are gusts of autumn wind blowing. It seems that the sun that has been shining on the earth a few days ago may not come out. No wonder the little guy was wearing long sleeves and long pants today. It was probably because the weather had changed, and Wang Fang was worried that his grandson would catch a cold.
"Good morning, Zhang An."
At this time, a shout suddenly came from outside the hospital.
Zhang An took a look and saw who else it was if it wasn't Lu Cheng.
"Good morning, Brother Cheng, are you here a little late? I didn't see you when I was picking fruits a few days ago, and you're here now when the picking is almost over."
Zhang Anyi When he saw Lu Cheng, he immediately welcomed him into the courtyard.
The kiwi fruits in the village have been harvested a few days ago, and Lu Cheng also sent people here.
Calculating, these two days should be coming to an end, but his boss keeps showing up.
"Hey, something happened a few days ago, but it doesn't matter if I come or not. The quality of everyone's fruits this year is very good."
Lu Cheng said very happily , although he didn’t come a few days ago, he was very satisfied with this year’s kiwi fruit in Changqing.
"Come together, call Uncle Lu."
Zhang An pointed at Lu Cheng, and then taught his son.
“Uncle Lu~~”
Although he didn't know Lu Cheng, the little guy still shouted obediently.
“Okay, okay, time flies so fast. When I came here last time, the little guy had to be held by someone. I didn’t expect that he can run, jump, and call someone now.”
Lu Cheng pinched the little guy's face happily, and then said with great sigh.
But after pinching him like this, the little guy stopped coming close to him.
Although the little guy doesn't recognize people, he doesn't like strangers who have no sense of boundaries.
After the little guy went to play by himself, only Zhang An and Lu Cheng were left sitting in the yard reminiscing about old times.
"Okay Zhang An, I'll go to the orchard first."
As noon approached, Lu Cheng stood up and said goodbye to Zhang An.
"It's almost noon, we have to eat soon, why should we go?"
Zhang An immediately got up to entertain the guests. The two of them had known each other for several years, and they were not being polite.
"Forget it today, I don't think I have much time today. I brought money this time. Everyone is still waiting. If I send it out early, everyone will be happy earlier."
Lu Cheng was not like before. I agreed, but persisted and refused.
"Okay, I can't delay Brother Cheng's business. Remember to come over when it's done."
Zhang An didn't try to stay any longer and sent Lu Cheng out of the door.
Because he knew that the kiwi fruits sold by the villagers a few days ago had not yet been settled, mainly because Lu Cheng was not there.
Now that Lu Cheng is here, he must be here to pay for his family. Everyone really hopes to get the money from selling fruits as soon as possible.
When Wang Fang came out of the kitchen and didn't see Lu Cheng, he asked.
"Is Boss Lu gone? Why don't you leave someone to eat?"
Wang Fang always calls Lu Cheng Boss Lu, instead of just calling him Xiao Lu like the fat guy.
Because Lu Cheng would only come here when he was harvesting fruits, and the fat guy would run here whenever he had something to do. Wang Fang was very familiar with him and almost treated him as a junior.
"Mom, I'm busy paying for everyone this time, so I don't dare to delay."
Zhang An explained to his mother while taking fish food and throwing it into the fish pond to feed the fish.
The little fish in the fish pond have grown up a lot now. When Zhang An drops fish food, they will jump out of the water to fight for it.
When Xiao Siqi saw his father feeding the fish, he immediately became interested. He didn’t even want to run over directly from the car, but also wanted to feed the fish together.
It’s just that the little guy is too short, standing on the ground is not as high as the edge of the fish pond, so he can only pester Zhang An to pick him up.
Every time Zhang An threw a handful of fish food into the pond, the little guy followed suit. When he saw the fish in the water fighting for the fish food, the little guy smiled very happily.
And the laughter also attracted Wang Fang, who praised her grandson for being great.
"Zhang An, have you riced recently? My rice vat has bottomed out. I'm here to buy rice."
When three generations of a family are enjoying family happiness When, an old voice broke the balance.
“It’s Grandma Yu. I had other things to do a few days ago, so I haven’t beaten the rice yet.”
After Grandma Yu said this, Zhang An remembered that it had been almost half a year since the last time the tenants of Dongli Yard Erdiao came to buy rice, and it was almost time to go and beat rice now.
"But don't worry, grandma, I'll go get it in the afternoon. You can just come over and buy it in the evening."
"Okay, okay, this is the best, but this time our family I want to buy three hundred catties, Xiao An, you have to beat more.”
The old lady immediately looked satisfied when she heard Zhang An said that she would go to beat rice in the afternoon.
Since moving here, she and the old man at home have become accustomed to Zhang An’s chicken blood rice.
If they are allowed to eat white rice now, I am afraid they will not be able to change it for a while.
"Don't worry, I haven't forgotten this. If I say I sell more, I will definitely sell it."
Zhang An smiled and comforted the old lady, he knew the old lady This is because he is afraid that he will forget what he said before when harvesting millet, and he will only sell two hundred kilograms of blood rice to their family a year.
After getting the reply she wanted, Grandma Yu went back very satisfied, waiting to come over to buy rice in the evening.
At noon, when Su Ying came back from school and the family finished lunch, Zhang An and his father Zhang Jianguo began to move the grain seeds from home to the pickup truck.
This time Zhang An planned to take a cart of millet to thresh, because with the news of Grandma Yu coming to buy rice, other tenants would also take notice, and if they beat less, they would definitely not be able to get enough points.
Because there was too much millet to thresh, Zhang An did not plan to go to Zhang Xinmin’s house.
The main reason is that their unit is too small. I don’t know how long it will take to finish threshing a load of millet.
After the pickup truck's cargo box was filled, before Zhang An got in the car, Xiao Siqi ran over and grabbed his pants.
"Dad, we have to take a car."
The little guy is very smart. He knew that his father was going to drive out, so he kept watching.
After all, his little Jeep is not as fun as this big car.
"Be good, Qiqi. Dad is going to work. How about you wait at home for me to come back."
Of course Zhang An would not take the little guy there, so he could only patiently persuade him. With.
It was strange to him that his wife was very carsick, but his son really liked riding in cars.
The little guy didn't listen at first, but when Su Ying came out and glared at him, he stopped acting like a monster.
