Chapter 121: Chapter 121 Exam 6

Compared to math class, Chinese class was a bit simpler. If you memorized and recited well, you could always score decently. But math class required you to think.

Shen Mianmian probably wouldn’t be able to score much this time.

With this in mind, his attention quickly shifted from Shen Mianmian to the other students. Unlike Chinese, there weren’t many things to recite in math; you couldn’t just copy from the book. Thus, relatively speaking, they could relax a little.

He walked around twice and observed that everyone was seriously doing their homework, with no sign of any mischief. He gradually relaxed, and before he knew it, he found himself back in front of Shen Mianmian.

She was still writing vigorously. Teacher Hu couldn’t help but find it strange. Other students were frowning in thought, wearing a solemn expression, while only she seemed to be without any mental pressure, as if she had started writing shortly after looking at the problem.

He shook his head with a sigh, not afraid of students being slow, but rather of students not using their brains. Every year there were students like this in the class, and as a teacher, it was quite helpless yet inevitable.

If students didn’t want to learn or think, no amount of talking from the teachers would help.

Shen Mianmian finished the math test even faster than the Chinese one, but she was stumped by two major questions. Despite thinking for a long time, she couldn’t come up with anything.

However, she wasn’t anxious. The points from the questions she had answered were enough to pass, and the high school exams weren’t until the second half of the next year; she had another six months to review.

According to her current progress, she would have no problem getting into the third-ranked high school next year, if not the first or second.

Zhou Siyu wasn’t so lucky this time. Recently, she hadn’t been paying attention in class because of Shen Mianmian’s issues. She failed to learn the new material, which just so happened to be on the test.

As time ticked away, class was almost over, she bit her lip and hastily wrote down an answer.

Turning to Wang Jingjing, who was still writing, Siyu felt a bit more at ease. If everyone found it difficult and generally didn’t do well, she saw her chance.

In the 1980s, middle school exams only had six subjects: Chinese, math, politics, physics, chemistry, and English.

Chinese and math were strong subjects for many students. The other four were a bit weaker, especially English, which was the subject all students struggled with. The best performer was Lu Siyuan, but even he could barely score sixty points.

The others were not worth mentioning.

Anyway, everyone would complain whenever the English class began.

The private consensus was that even the English teacher might not be able to score perfect on the test.

After enduring exams through most of the day, once the last English test was over, everyone burst out of the classroom as if liberated, cheerfully asking each other how they did.

In contrast, Shen Mianmian appeared somewhat isolated.

Lu Siyuan took several large steps to catch up to her. "This year’s questions were a bit tough. How did you do? Are you confident about getting the progress award?"

"I’m not sure about the progress award, but passing shouldn’t be a problem," she replied. There were dozens of students in the class, all striving for the progress award, so Shen Mianmian couldn’t be sure she would get it.

"The progress award is just three yuan. It’s no big deal if you don’t get it," Lu Siyuan, who sold things in town and could earn a decent amount in one go, didn’t see much value in three yuan anymore due to the amount of money he handled. "As long as you pass, your dad will be willing to let you continue school, right?"

Shen Mianmian nodded, "What about you? Are you secure in the top three?"
