The cadre in charge of education in the Si Ge Village District was called Ma Fenghua. He is a native of the village of Malang. He was a middle-class man with a tall and straight body, black hair, a long face, and delicate features. He was in his thirties and looked very handsome. Cai Zhuang Primary School's exam attracted his attention. He felt that the general examination was something that had never been done in the education work of the new dynasty in the past few years. Cai Zhuang was a pioneer. As for how effective it would be in promoting education, further research was needed.
For this reason, he personally went to Caizhuang Primary School to investigate. He also specially went to Xiazhuang Primary School, which was ranked two out of the top three, to investigate and discuss with the teachers and students. His conclusion was that the organization of the exam was effective and the results were remarkable.
According to his suggestion, the committee decided to hold an examination in all the villages. Each school would send three to two outstanding students to participate on July 6th.
Xia Zhuang chose three, and Xia Junji and Ah Hui had to go. Who should he choose? Ma Fenghua suggested that Xia Cuizhi participate. Normally, it was up to the school to decide who to send, and the principal did not have to care. However, didn't he come to Xia Manor for an inspection? During the inspection, he saw that Xia Cuizhi's child was beautiful and smart. Looking at a beautiful and smart person, would her academic performance be good? He wanted to verify it, so he suggested that Xia Cuizhi participate. Besides, the district's general examination required a certain number of girls to participate. How could Wang Lixian not listen to the principal's opinion?
Two days before the exam, Teacher Wang Lixian told Ah Hui about the exam so that he could prepare himself mentally. For the past few nights, Ah Hui had stayed at Jun Kuan's house with Jun Shen Junfei and a few other friends. Tu Xi was very lively and happy. Jun Kuan's father, Xia Changjiang, and Jun Shen's father, Xia Changhai, were brothers. They had a house left behind by their ancestors. There were three main rooms and three side rooms in the front of the courtyard, which belonged to Changhai. There were three main rooms in the back and three side rooms in front of the main room, which belonged to Changjiang. To the east of their courtyard was Changmeng's family, and to the west was Junjie's family.
At night, the moon was hanging in the sky. Her silver light illuminated Junkuan's courtyard. The handsome Shen Junfei was cooling off in the courtyard. It was cool and she was ready to sleep. Because Ah Hui was going to Si Ge Zhuang for the exam tomorrow, Junkuan's mother and Junshen's mother were sitting in the courtyard after dinner. Everyone was talking non-stop, and the courtyard seemed very lively.
"How many people are going to our village?" Junshen's mother, a hunchbacked old lady in her sixties, said as she sat on a straw stool.
"Three. Other than me, there's also Jun Ji and Xia Cuizhi.”
"Oh, three people from each village. There must be hundreds of people taking the examination. Are you afraid?”
"It's not that I'm afraid. Anyway, each of us has a seat. We'll just stare at the paper and answer it without looking at others.”
"Ah Hui is a reckless person who isn't afraid of anything. Didn't she get third place in Caigezhuang last time?”Junkuan's mother interrupted. She was a woman in her late fifties, but she had a strong body and a loud voice. Because Junkuan, Junshen, and Ah Hui were of the same age and grade, she was envious of Ah Hui for taking exams everywhere. At the end, he even added,"I'll get first place again this time!"”
That won't be easy." Ah Hui said," It should be said that the higher you go, the more people study well. There are mountains beyond the mountains and buildings beyond the buildings. The higher you go, the harder it is to get a ranking!”
As they were talking, a person walked in from the street, humming a song as he walked. She knew that it was Junjing. He was about sixteen or seventeen years old. He was not tall and his eyes were not big, but he had thin skin and white flesh. He was like a girl and very steady. He was a student about to graduate from Shigezhuang Primary School. He and Xia Junjun were the students with the highest academic achievements since the Anti-Japanese War in Xia Village.
"Why is it so lively tonight?”Jun Jing took a wooden board and sat not far away from Ah Hui.
"Tomorrow, Ah Hui wants to go to the various villages for the examination. We're encouraging him.”Junshen's mother giggled as she spoke.
Jun Jing said," Examinations are not about getting motivated. It's not like a tug-of-war competition where you have to carry a sack. The examination requires skill and knowledge. You can't sit down, so you can't drum up no matter how hard you try.”Then he changed the topic and said," Tonight, we'd rather not sleep. I'll teach you. I guarantee you'll do well in the exam tomorrow."”
"Heh, this is what I call serious. Then you guys go study.”After Junkuan's mother finished speaking, everyone dispersed.
It was already very late at night. Jun Kuan, Jun Junfei, and Shen Junfei had already fallen asleep. The oil lamp was still beating, and the two youths were still studying. Jun Jing was really tireless in teaching. He didn't care if Ah Hui listened or understood. He kept talking about mathematics, addition, multiplication, division, the four basic operations, and the ratio of scores. Language, grammar, rhetoric, word filling, and sentence making were all taught in the books. They even taught him everything he learned in the sixth grade.
Ah Hui was so sleepy that she kept dozing off. He didn't understand a lot of what Junjing said and wasn't interested. However, she also felt that he had good intentions. Didn't she teach him instead of sleeping so that he could do well? Jun Jing kept saying how important this question was and how important that question was. It was possible that he didn't know it. If the exam really appeared, wouldn't he fail? Therefore, even though Ah Hui's eyelids were constantly touching, she still persisted. Until Jun Jing said," This time, I'm almost done. Remember all of them. You'll definitely do well."”Actually, he was also very sleepy, so the two of them went to sleep.
He slept for a long time. Jun Kuan, Jun Shen Junfei had woken up early, while Jun Jing and Ah Hui were still sleeping. It was not until Junkuan's mother entered the house that she shouted," What time is it? The sun is already shining on your butt. Why aren't you getting up?"”Ah Hui and Jun Jing rubbed their eyes. When he woke up, he remembered that he still had to go to Si Ge Zhuang for the examination today. It was already late, so he hurried home for dinner.
The organization of the Si Ge Zhuang examination was very chaotic. However, it was raining heavily, with thunder and lightning. The rain had stunned everyone. Many schools simply could not leave the village and abandoned the exam. Some of them ran back halfway, while others ran to the examination hall, drenched all over. The organizers did not anticipate the weather in advance and did not plan for special situations. When the rain came, the whole place was in chaos. Without a phone or rain gear, the commander-in-chief, Ma Fenghua, wanted to hold a meeting with the headmasters of the various primary schools to discuss a solution, but he could not gather them. The teachers and students from the various schools did not know where to find the commander-in-chief, so they could only find a place to shelter from the rain and make it convenient for themselves.
It was only after ten o'clock when the rain had lessened that someone came out to gather the teachers of the various schools for a meeting to discuss what to do. It was a last-minute decision. Those who didn't come didn't come, and those who came didn't come in vain. The examination hall was arranged at the last minute. What exam?
It was still raining outside. Ah Hui entered a classroom, but there were not even half of the people inside. The exam began.
Ah Hui was in a daze. The papers were handed out. He looked at the chaos, his head buzzing like a car that had lost its gear. She looked at the paper, but she couldn't think. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't think or solve it. As time passed, he randomly made a few simple and slightly difficult ones, but he didn't think about them or do them. In the end, Ciri handed in the paper in a daze, not even knowing how many questions she had answered or not. This was the worst exam he had ever had. After the incident, there was no release of the results, no ranking, and even no grading of the papers. They asked how the various schools did this time, who was first, second, and third, but no one knew.
However, Ah Hui had learned her lesson from this general examination. The chaos in the examination was the responsibility of the organizers. It was because of the rain, but his confusion and Hiri's confusion were her own fault. With the rain pouring down, his mind should be clearer. The main reason he was muddle-headed was that night when he and Junjing had a night battle. He had to study hard, which affected his sleep. He had severe insomnia and his brain couldn't think normally. How could he still be smart? From then on, every time the exam came, he paid special attention to rest while preparing for the exam and never used fatigue tactics. He wanted to give himself enough energy before the exam. This was an important lesson for him when he faced exams in the future. From this point of view, this general examination was not in vain.
