Chapter 148 Intermediate Class
The sky is clear, the weather is nice and the weather is sunny, April is here.
Monday is the last day of March, and all students in the school will have the end-of-month exams.
The results came out the next day, on Wednesday.
Chinese teacher Sun Xiaojuan walked into the classroom of Junior Class 29 and stood on the podium looking at the people below. After a while, she said, "Congratulations to the four students in our class for winning the first-class scholarship."
The Lin family and the Shen family looked at Sun Xiaojuan in shock and whispered to each other.
"Students whose names are called, please come up to receive your prize money and junior class graduation certificates." Sun Xiaojuan smiled and took out four red envelopes and four graduation certificates with blue covers.
At the same time, the same scene was going on in more than 4 elementary classes. More than elementary class students looked at the bonus and graduation certificate in the teacher's hand with envy and jealousy.
"Lin Youcai, Lin Zisu, Shen Xianglan, Lin Xianwen, we congratulate the four students for graduating from the junior class. All four students won the first place. Clap clap clap clap..." Sun Xiaojuan said and led the applause.
The Lin family and the Shen family looked at the family of four in shock, and then applauded the teacher in surprise!
They were not shocked when Lin Youcai won first place, and they thought it was normal when Lin Xianwen won first place. They were shocked and couldn't believe that the whole family of four won first place, and Lin Zisu and Shen Xianglan received the most attention.
The family of four went on stage to receive their bonuses and diplomas. They looked calm, but they were embarrassed. This was bullying the locals!
Sun Xiaojuan: "You four are the students who have graduated from the primary level in the shortest time and ranked first in the grade since the founding of the country. Congratulations! Congratulations! You can go to the intermediate class today!"
Lin Zisu: My grass is a plant, this is the speed of the country! Everything is efficient!
The four of them didn't want to talk, so they smiled and nodded politely, took the bonus and diploma, and said, "Thank you, teacher."
Sun Xiaojuan: "If you keep up the good work, you will become the pillars of the country in the future."
The four of them felt embarrassed, but they smiled and nodded, saying "Okay" and "I will."
Sun Xiaojuan: "Pack your things and report to Intermediate Class 21 now!"
Four people: "...Okay."
When the four of them returned to their seats to get their cloth bags, Sun Xiaojuan continued, "Everyone's March exam results are posted on the bulletin board. You can check your monthly exam results after school."
The teacher was at the podium, and the family of four could only keep silent, take their things, walk out of the classroom, and go to the other side of the campus.
Qingshui School currently has more than 4 students in the primary classes, and each class is limited to 30 students, with more than 40 classes. At its peak, the primary classes had tens of thousands of students, hundreds of classes, and a maximum of students in a classroom.
The number of students in a class is clearly stipulated. It is very difficult to ask a group of men, women, young and old who cannot read a single word to study. Therefore, we cannot have large classes, but small classes, with a maximum of 40 students. The classrooms are also built according to the specifications of 40 people, with the size calculated.
There are currently only 23 intermediate classes, with 30 students in each class, which means there are only 690 students in intermediate classes.
In all provinces of the country, the number of students in elementary classes is the largest, and this is the case every year. The number of students in intermediate classes has always been hovering below 200, and the number of students in advanced classes has been hovering below , which is normal.
There are currently only 5 advanced classes in Qingshui School, with 30 students in each class. One of the classes has less than 30 students, with only more than ten students.
The number of students in the beginner class is large, so when you enter the school through the main gate, the teaching buildings you see are all for the beginner class. The intermediate and advanced classes have to cross the school lawn and go to the other side.
The family of four was walking and chatting, and they saw some unfamiliar people walking in the same direction as them. They were also people who graduated from the beginner class and were going to report to the intermediate class.
Lin Zisu: "I never thought that one day I would be classmates with my parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters, and go to school and go home together. It's so magical!"
Lin Xianwen: "I'm used to it. Magical things are as common as people having to eat or go to the toilet!"
Shen Xianglan: "I just want everyone to graduate quickly! I want to start my pharmaceutical business!"
Lin Youcai: "You don't have to go to school after you graduate from the beginner class! The country only requires graduation from the beginner class, not the intermediate and advanced classes!"
Shen Xianglan: "That won't work! I was a college student in the 80s! The quality of college students back then was so high! It's so embarrassing to graduate from the beginner class now!"
Lin Xianwen: "On the Chinese people's obsession with academic qualifications!"
Lin Zisu: "Then I'm even more miserable. I just got admitted to graduate school, and... I knew that after graduating from college, I would either go out to play or work. I worked hard for a year and was admitted as I wished. Hey~ Who would have thought that it would be all in vain and I have to start from scratch."
Lin Youcai: "Who hasn't been to college? I think the worst thing is that the money is not spent and the whole family is gone."
Lin Xianwen: "Once we return to the time before liberation, who wouldn't be like that?"
Lin Zisu: "The family is even worse off than before... We have to be optimistic, we have another chance to restart."
The family of four walked together, whispering all the way to the intermediate class building. On the outer wall of the teaching building, there would be written the elementary, intermediate, and advanced classes, telling everyone what class this building is and what classes there are.
There is no way. There are hundreds of classes in a school. It is too difficult for people who are not familiar with the environment to find a class in one of them.
The four of them walked around and finally found Intermediate Class 21 at the edge.
Lin Zisu knocked on the door, and a male voice came from inside: "Push the door and come in."
A middle-aged man stood at the podium and students were reading books in their seats.
Lin Zisu estimated that there were 9 empty seats in the classroom.
Middle-aged male teacher: "My name is He Zhizhang, and I am the Chinese teacher of Intermediate Class 21. Come up and sign, get your textbooks, and then you can sit down and read."
A family of four: "Okay, Mr. He."
The four of them signed their names, received their textbooks, and sat in the nine empty seats.
The seats in the classroom are not fixed, nor are they adjusted by the teacher. Whoever arrives early has the right to choose, and those who arrive late can sit in the remaining seats.
After school every day, we had to take all our belongings away, and the textbooks for the beginner class would be collected and locked in a cabinet in the corner of the classroom.
The classrooms are cleaned in order of names, and everyone takes turns to clean. Actually, there is nothing much to clean.
Textbooks for intermediate and advanced classes are distributed free of charge to students. Students can take them home to study and hand them in after graduation. If textbooks are lost or damaged, students will pay for them according to the price.
Just as the family of four sat down, there was a knock on the classroom door and He Zhizhang asked the person outside to come in.
When the family of four saw who was coming in, their eyes lit up: Tao Mingyuan.
After Tao Mingyuan signed his name, he took his books and went downstairs to find a seat. When he saw the four of them, his eyes lit up and he quickly sat next to them.
In 9 days, a group of people who have never received book education and have never had the concept of learning in their minds suddenly learn the contents of the first grade of modern primary school. No matter how simple it is, it is impossible to learn it so quickly.
It is normal only for people like the four members of the Lin family who have studied, and a scholar like Tao Mingyuan who has studied, to learn quickly and in a short period of time.
