Chapter 28 Wings of the Sky
Xicheng No. 17 Middle School.
Formerly known as Xicun Middle School, it is a village high school that mainly serves the vast rural areas in the western suburbs of the old city.
Later, Xicheng’s education system was rectified, and this village high school was included in the urban school sequence and renamed Xicheng No. 17 Middle School. However, this did not bring substantial changes to the middle school.
Squeak!
The army green jeep stopped in front of the school gate.
The group got off the bus one after another.
"What kind of school is this? It's so shabby!" Su Xiaoxiao took off her sunglasses, looked around, and couldn't help but complain.
"What do you want me to say?"
Li Ling scolded Su Xiaoxiao. She could say that her alma mater was dilapidated, but she would not agree to it if others said so.
The gate of Xicheng No. 17 Middle School is mottled, and large pieces of wall have fallen off the outside of the wall, like patches of scars.
The ground is a cement floor, but there are many cracks, and stubborn weeds emerge from the cracks.
This school is not big either. It has only one teaching building and the others are flat-floor tile-roofed buildings. However, what is surprising is that these buildings have been carefully repaired and look good. There are no dangerous buildings.
According to Li Ling, there are only three classes in the senior year of No. 17 Middle School, two cultural classes and one combat class. The source of students is not very good, and many of them are left-behind children whose parents went out to work.
But what surprised Bai Pu was that the quality of the students in this school was quite good. There were no students with bad behaviors such as dyeing their hair, wearing jewelry, smoking cigarettes, etc. Most people were walking in a hurry, and some were still holding books.
No students came to disturb Bai Pu and others. At most, they would look back curiously when they passed each other.
The principal is an old man with silver hair, but he is quite energetic. Li Ling respected him quite a bit. I heard that this old principal had been working at Xicheng No. 17 Middle School for more than 20 years. He was the principal when Li Ling was in high school.
After hearing what Li Ling said about his visit, the old principal readily agreed and joked: "Li Ling, you are the golden phoenix flying out of our poor corner. I didn't expect that ten years later, you would be here again. Bringing in a golden phoenix!"
Li Ling looked around with emotion and said, "Principal, I didn't expect that my alma mater would be so difficult. I haven't been back in these years and I haven't been able to help."
"I dare not say that, you have been of great help to the school. If you hadn't donated money to build the teaching building, the students would still be attending classes in dilapidated buildings. I understand that you have difficulties..."
The old principal's nagging was enough to bring out Li Ling's secrets.
Li Ling was born in a rural area, and her parents worked in Jiangnan Base City. She studied in the combat class of Xicheng No. 17 Middle School and was considered a left-behind child.
After hard work, Li Ling was admitted to the military academy and successfully awakened two years later. Now she has important positions in the Datang Group and the Shence Army. She is quite weak in the Jiangnan region. It can be regarded as a counterattack in life. .
Of course, the price for her is to become a professional soldier, not as free as other awakened people.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the cracked cement floor and said, "How about I apply to the organization to donate some money to the school, level the ground, and repaint the walls?"
< br>
The old principal chuckled: "Donations are welcome, but there is no need to change the ground and walls. It would be better if they are used to improve the food for the children in the combat class... Rural children work hard, but they lack nutritious exotic animal meat. If only we could Ensure nutrition, and maybe there will be a few more Li Lings.”
Su Xiaoxiao stopped talking. Alien beast meat is not cheap. It is obtained by the awakened ones by hunting mutant beasts in the wilderness area. Moreover, improving food is a long-term investment and cannot be solved with a small sum of money.
“The facade needs to be changed...” Li Ling said, “When the freshmen see a school like this, they are half discouraged.”
“Li Ling, you don’t know, our school is about to be abolished. There are no new students." The old principal shook his head and said, "The document issued by the Department of Education this year shows that Xicheng No. 17 Middle School is one of the schools planned to be abolished and merged in the next five years. We can't be so good-looking. The appearance is useless..."
"Ah?"*3
Bai Pu had a good impression of the old principal and asked: "Is it because of the low admission rate?" There are many top students from the eight prestigious universities, but many of them have been admitted to key universities," the old principal said, smacking his mouth, as if he had a toothache, "It's just that the admission rate of the combat class is not good, and it always fails to meet the target." Li Ling digested the news. , couldn't help but said: "The school has been abolished, where will the students go to study?"
"The document says it will be merged into Xicheng No. 9 Middle School." said the old principal.
"Ninth Middle School? That school isn't that good, it's quite far away from here." Su Xiaoxiao said.
"It's fifteen kilometers. If you don't live on campus, you'll have to cycle for two hours back and forth every day." Li Ling sighed, "I didn't choose Ninth Middle School because of the distance."
As he spoke, everyone had already Arrive at the principal's office.
Bai Pu was surprised again. The principal's office was actually a small shed made of iron. This kind of small iron shed is not warm in winter but gets very hot in summer. It is usually used to build car sheds.
The old principal took the student status file brought by Li Ling and personally applied for Bai Pu's admission, even skipping the academic test.
In the words of the old principal: the academic ability test is for ordinary paper candidates. Bai Pu will take the awakening paper in the future. There is no need to take the academic ability test. The identity of the awakened person is the best certificate.
Later, the old principal arranged a class for Bai Pu, the only combat class in the senior year of high school - senior high school (3) class.
The class teacher’s name was Ren Zhenghua. He was surprised and excited when he heard about Bai Pu’s status as an awakener. He quickly arranged a seat for Bai Pu. His deskmate was the best student in the combat class. He was very flattering. It's called learning from Bai Pu.
Bai Pu quickly rejected Teacher Ren’s kindness. In the next two months, his time in school should be very short, so he doesn't need to occupy a good seat, just have a desk in the back row.
Teacher Ren gave Bai Pu his treasured textbooks for three years of high school, which were densely packed with his highlights and comments. He has been teaching for twenty years and has long been familiar with the key points. He can teach without these textbooks.
After completing the admissions process and obtaining the college entrance examination qualifications, Bai Pu and his group left in a military green jeep.
Looking back at the mottled walls of Xicheng No. 17 Middle School, Bai Pu felt deeply that although this school was dilapidated and the quality of its students was not good, it actually had a high-spirited atmosphere.
From the principal to the students, everyone basically has clear goals and knows clearly what they should do and what their responsibilities are.
"It would be a pity that schools like this have to be abolished and merged." Bai Pu said softly.
"There is no way. Now the focus is on the awakened ones. The poor admission rate of the combat class is unqualified in the eyes of the education department." Su Xiaoxiao said.
Combat department students who are admitted to university may not necessarily be promoted to awakened ones, but with strong physiques and abundant energy, they are more popular than ordinary people who have never experienced exercise before switching to other industries. .
Therefore, the admission rate of combat classes is more important in the eyes of the education department.
Li Ling said jokingly: "If you can fight your way out of the tens of thousands of Awakened candidates and win the top spot, you might be able to save the school from being abolished."
Bai Pu He smiled restrainedly and didn't say anything big. He sat in the back seat and flipped through the pages of the textbook given to him by Teacher Ren.
"Did you read too quickly?" Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but come over to talk.
Bai Pu said with a smile: "Actually, I have studied these textbooks on my own before. Now I am going through them to see how much I can remember."
"The cultural part of the awakening paper is not very difficult. What can really widen the gap is the simulated combat results and the spiritual world exploration results! These two items require hard power." Li Ling said.
Bai Pu quickly finished flipping through a book, closed it and said, "I understand. Can you tell me what the approximate strength of the top scorer in last year's college entrance examination is?"
"I know!" Su Xiaoxiao said, "Last year's top scorer in the college entrance examination is named Wan Zhen, and he is the hero profession 'Wings of the Sky'!"
