FSC [QT] Chapter 84.2

The No. 1 Middle School in the city specifically admitted Xu Shuangshuang, who won first place in this competition.

At the same time, the No. 1 Middle School in the county and the Affiliated Middle School of the Machinery Factory also extended olive branches to Xu Shuangshuang.

The remaining six students who won the third prize and the participation prize did not receive the advance admission notice from the No. 1 Middle School in the city, but other schools also submitted their admission intentions in advance.

For example, the No. 1 Middle School in the county and the Affiliated Middle School of the Machinery Factory were very willing to recruit three students who won the third prize in the arithmetic competition.

Although the other three students who won the participation prize did not receive a positive admission reply, they also received the promise from the school that they would be given priority admission among applicants of the same level.

In other words, in previous years, only a few students may have successfully entered junior high school, and most of them went to the Hongxing Commune Middle School, which was part of the town’s school.

This year, at least four students were successfully enrolled, and they were good schools at the county level.

“Teacher Ye is worthy of being a military family. You have a high level of ideological awareness and outstanding teaching ability. Our country needs talents like you.”

The commune director appeared at the Hongxing Commune Primary School with some commune leaders that day. He praised Ye Wu in front of other teachers and decided to hold a meeting for the whole commune to commend the award-winning students and the greatest contributor, Ye Wu.

The day before the commendation meeting, several parents of award-winning students brought their children to Kuang’s house.

***

“Excuse me, where is Teacher Ye’s home?”

None of the seven award-winning students were from Zhangjiagou, so none of them knew where Ye Wu’s home was. They could only ask the old farmers who were working in the fields when they walked to the gate of Zhangjiagou Village.

“Teacher Ye? Oh, are you talking about Cao Ni’er, the one who teaches in the commune primary school?”

There was no other teacher in Zhangjiagou. The man thought about it for a while and knew who the visitor was looking for.

“What are you doing?”

The old farmer looked at the group of strangers who suddenly came over, men and women, old and young, all holding things in their hands, as if they were here to visit.

“We are here to give gifts to Teacher Ye. Thanks to Teacher Ye’s serious teaching of my child. Now the child has won a prize in the city-level competition. The middle schools in the county are vying to have my child study there. Don’t you think we should thank Teacher Ye?”

Several parents were beaming with joy.

Nowadays, those who could send their children to school basically had conditions that were not too bad, at least, better than most people in the countryside. Otherwise, they would not be willing to spend a few yuan on tuition fees every year.

Or else, their families were particularly open-minded and believed that studying could change their fate.

These two types of families, without exception, were willing to grit their teeth and support their children to continue their studies as long as they saw the hope that their children could continue their studies.

“That’s the middle school for children of a machinery factory. If you enter this middle school, you can go to work in the machinery factory after graduation. Even if you can’t be a formal worker, being a temporary worker is better than digging for food in the fields. Brother, do you think we should thank Teacher Ye?”

Their children all said that the teachers in the school didn’t teach them much before. They preferred to let them learn agricultural techniques.

However, Teacher Ye was different from other teachers.

Her courses had always been about learning. Unlike other teachers, she didn’t ask them to plant a batch of broad beans today and dig a row of sweet potatoes tomorrow.

Moreover, Teacher Ye not only taught what was in the textbook, but she also made up questions to supplement them with extra knowledge.

Many questions in this competition were actually beyond the scope of the syllabus, but because Teacher Ye also taught them regularly, they all got them right.

It could be said that Teacher Ye played an indispensable role in their winning the award.

This was no longer a simple help. For the farmers who worked hard to make ends meet, their children would have more opportunities to go out. This might be the next hope for changing their fate. Ye Wu was the benefactor of their entire family.

“Is Cao Ni’er so powerful?”

The old farmer who helped to point the way was stunned.
