Chapter 40 Bonus points
"Whether it's career or lifestyle, this is the happiest state. So what my godfather is like now is actually what the Analects of Confucius says: 'If a person cannot bear the suffering, he will not change his happiness after death.'"
"Over the past few years, we have been compiling the local history, myths and legends, humanistic anecdotes, folk songs and proverbs, and customs of Jiachuan. How can we do without him?"
"This is the real iron rice bowl! To put it bluntly, the position of godmother can be replaced, but the position of godfather cannot be taken away by anyone!"
"As the old saying goes, all snakes bite, which means that all walks of life, whether liberal arts or science, have their own difficulties."
"You're going to get bitten anyway, so it's a matter of which snake bites you; whether you choose to be bitten unwillingly or to be bitten willingly."
"Did you come up with this big rhetoric yourself?" The mother looked at the child in front of her up and down, as if she was meeting her own son for the first time.
Then he suddenly turned to look at his father: "Tell me the truth, did you two discuss it in advance?!"
Dad shook his head and thought thoughtfully: "That's definitely not the case, but I think this saying of 'I would rather choose which snake bites me' is quite innovative..."
Zhou Zhi was even more dissatisfied: "Mom, you look down on people too much. Don't forget that your son can even handle interviews with provincial TV stations! Oh, when you sent grandma back, you didn't see..."
"It's not like you don't know what your godfather's family is like. Do you want to be like him in the future?"
My mother continued to persuade: "Look at your mother and I are different. The environmental supervision station gets a salary, and it can also give your sixth sister a job. Together, they are higher than your father and the director.
Give him a half! How do you think the family has been able to support it all these years?"
Dad felt bad again. He promised not to step on each other when educating his children. Why can't he change his teaching?
Zhou Zhi couldn't help but laugh. The future of his godfather is not comparable to that of the two of you. It's just that the stage hasn't been set up yet: "Mom, you really don't have to worry about my future life. Otherwise, when the first day of the new year comes,
In the third year of junior high school, I am going to work-study with Mr. Qiao and the foreign monk. Then I will let you see what I am capable of?"
This Zhou Zhi is really not worried at all. If nothing else is said about the two novels he published on a whim in his previous life, if he corrects the few shortcomings that book lovers are dissatisfied with, rewrites them, and publishes them ten years earlier, they will definitely be able to do so.
It has become a popular online literary work.
Even if I don’t do anything else from now on, those two novels alone can feed me for the rest of my life.
It's just that in my previous life, I suffered an emotional blow during my college years, spent ten years in self-exile, and missed the golden age of becoming famous online.
What's more, my own interests and hobbies are far more than that...
"You are just clever! Your grades are the important thing!" My mother was actually a little shaken. Speaking of which, this was the first time that her son, who basically didn't worry about his studies, insisted on his own idea: "If you
If you can be like Yongmei, whatever you want to learn, Mom will let you do it."
"But neither are you, Zhou Zhi. This is related to your future life. You should think about it again."
"Mom, actually I studied very hard this semester, and I originally wanted to give you a surprise." Zhou Zhi said this without blushing at all, and his voice became lower and lower: "Teacher Hu asked Yongmei to bring me the test paper.
I did it a few days ago, and I found..."
"What did you find?" Seeing Zhou Zhi becoming sneaky, my mother also lowered her voice and entered the gossip listening mode.
"I found this exam to be very easy, of course for me. At the end, the scores were tallied... the top five in grade."
"Really?" Mom's eyes suddenly lit up: "Zhou Zhi, you are not lying to Mom, are you telling the truth?"
"Really, I separated arts and sciences and arranged them again. Mom, guess what happened?"
"What...what's going on?" Mom was so nervous that her lips trembled.
"Only counting the science scores, I am 42 points lower than He Yongmei. But if the liberal arts scores are only counted, I am 13 points higher than her."
"I...I don't believe it..." Tears began to brew in my mother's eyes.
The old divination master of Baimi Township said that as long as the child has established his roots, there is no need to worry about the future.
Because I can let adults worry about it, I finished it before I turned sixteen.
Could it be that... the dawn has really peeked over the horizon?
"Then let me tell you something you can already see..." Zhou Zhi took his mother's hand and said, "Mom, my godfather said, two articles in a row have been published in the provincial magazine, and a member of the Provincial Writers Association is a sure sign."
"If I choose liberal arts, this is called an advantage. Mom, in the college entrance examination... I can get extra points."
"What?" The word "extra points" stimulated my mother to forget about the torture of fate and asked, "Is there such a good thing?"
"Of course, but if I choose science, maybe... there won't be such a good thing..."
"Ah?" My mother had already begun to tremble, and turned to ask my father: "Is Zhou Zhi serious? Which one can get extra points for the college entrance examination?"
"I don't know. I have to ask Sister-in-law Dihua about this."
"With a father like you! Ask quickly, forget it, I'll do it..."
Zhou Zhi quickly put his hand on the phone: "It's not like you don't know the habits of my godfather's family. The family is currently reading, painting, and writing articles."
"Yes, it's not good to disturb them now. Let's ask again at work tomorrow." Dad was actually a little excited, but he was pretending to be calm now.
"If there are really extra points for liberal arts, then this matter will have to be totaled again."
My mother's eyes showed the shrewdness of an old accountant, and she asked my father: "Who is Zhou Zhi's liberal arts class teacher? I seem to remember that Principal Zhao has a good relationship with Xinhua, right? Zhao Shangzhong seems to be a student of my fourth cousin?"
"Please calm down..." Dad was already a little speechless: "Adjusting classes only requires the opinions of parents and students, so why do we need to use our connections?"
"The college entrance examination requires extra points!" My mother was so angry that she slapped my father: "You don't understand what the extra points mean? This matter must be hammered to death! Hammer it down!"
"The head teacher of the liberal arts class is the best Chinese teacher in our school, Xu Youzhi." Zhou Zhi said: "He listened to my lectures last semester and asked me if I wanted to transfer to his class."
"What class are you teaching? Why haven't I heard you mention this?"
"Auntie, Zhuzi once told us "The Peacock Flies Southeast". It was better than the teacher's, really." Yang He's voice sounded in the bedroom.
This kid has been eavesdropping the whole time!
"You don't understand." My mother said, "Every class teacher is competing for good students. Even if Teacher Liu agrees, Teacher Hu may not be happy with it."
"In this way, choose two good gifts and go to the school to visit your teacher Hu tomorrow. After all, there is still one semester to choose a class. If you want to transfer classes in advance, you must also make all these connections."
After all, there is a joke in Jiachuan official circles, saying that if my mother were an official, she would definitely be better than my father.
At this time, you can see how shrewd my mother is.
"For the rest, you can go to Teacher Hu's place. I will go there tomorrow."
"Okay, you go tomorrow. Teacher Hu also likes you very much. He even asked Yongmei to give you a rolling paper and tell Teacher Hu properly."
"Yeah." Zhou Zhi finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had talked about a lot of idealistic feelings before, but in the end, all of them were blind and wasted.
If I had known that throwing it directly could add points, my shrewd mother would have been impressed.
Anyway, the lobbying was successful!
Looking at his father who was reaching for the remote control, he didn't know that the storm was coming. Zhou Zhi shook his head, went into the bedroom and closed the door.
Sure enough, the mother outside had already started asking: "Did you guys collude with each other already?"
"No, I don't even have a few words to say..."
"Stop coming! He didn't ask you, you didn't say anything, there is a problem here!"
"Are you being unreasonable?"
"Unreasonable? Then explain to me why my son only advised me and not you just now?"
"Ah this..."
…
…
Early the next morning, after breakfast, he threw a vocabulary book used by the third sister to Yang He, and Zhou Zhi went out and walked towards the school.
I had a long chat with Yang He last night about ways to improve academic performance.
Yang He and Wei Fei are incomparable, especially in mathematics, physics and chemistry, but Yang He and Zhou Zhi cannot change into liberal arts.
The saying that my mother keeps saying, "You can learn mathematics, physics and chemistry and travel around the world without fear" may not be suitable for Zhou Zhi, but for Yang He, it is indeed the best choice.
Now Yang He's results are really ugly, his foundation is too poor.
To improve quickly, you can only start to make up for the weakest shortcomings before, and the results will be obvious.
English, mathematics.
In current high school English, especially for Jiachuan students, the first thing to do is to solve the problems of language sense and vocabulary.
A thoughtful sense of language can guide him, but vocabulary requires a lot of effort.
Fortunately, what Yang He lacks most is stupid skills.
Mathematics is actually the same. For Yang He, the easiest way to improve is to answer questions.
Of course, brushing up on questions is also scientific. You must master the questions you have brushed before. Don’t rush to refresh them before you have mastered them. If the quantity is large and you are full, it will be in vain.
Once you are good at mathematics, you will naturally radiate to physics and chemistry. Once you are proficient in mathematics, you can start studying the other two subjects.
Zhou Zhi also had to work hard on this, but what made it easier for him than Yang He was that after switching to liberal arts, he basically only needed to study mathematics.
Jiachuan County Middle School is located on a small highland called Zhongnan Mountain in the south of the county.
It was originally a mass grave in the county. A few years ago, the county mobilized labor and voluntary labor from all units and streets in the county to bulldoze the entire mass grave and build a 400-meter standard circular runway.
's stadium.
At the same time, the Zhongnan Zen Temple next to the mass graves was transformed into Jiachuan County Middle School.
At this time, the county middle school was still very dilapidated. There were only high school and experimental buildings in the school. The teachers' dormitories were buildings. The junior high school was still a brick bungalow. The teachers' teaching and research room was still the palace where Zen masters used to meditate.
