Chapter 120 Progress
Everyone was holding their breath in their hearts, hoping to get good grades, but Zou Meng's results shocked Wang Caiyan.
"Zou Meng, 12th place..." Just after the announcement of Wang Caiyan's ranking, Zou Meng's name was mentioned by Teacher Li, and the students below immediately started whispering to each other.
"Don't whisper to each other." Teacher Li also heard the murmurs below and was too lazy to scold them, deciding to settle accounts later.
Wang Caiyan did not expect that Zou Meng's results would be so good, her fists were clenched tightly, and her mind was buzzing with noise, how could she have done so well?
Zou Mengya also heard her own results, didn't expect to do so well, and thought that being in the top 20 would be good enough. Last time, her score was just above 26th place, out of a total of 53 students in the class, which is mid-stream. Now she's ranked in the upper middle, this feeling is exceptionally great!
Glancing out of the window, the sky was indeed blue, the clouds were white, and someone's angry face was quite interesting too.
"Xiao Xiao Han, 24th place... Li Lin, 32nd place... Meng Kang, 35th place..." Teacher Li continued to announce the results.
Classmates in the study group were overjoyed, never expecting to do so well on the exam. The summer vacation wasn't wasted after all. Thinking about those classmates who always acted superior and imagining their shocked faces made my heart feel like it was going to burst with joy.
Announcing the end of the performance, Teacher Li looked at her classmates with a serious expression, and their carefree and joyful appearance made everyone feel a bit uneasy.
"Classmates, I have announced the results. Who did well and who didn't is clear at a glance. The first person I want to commend is Song Jie, not because she got the first place, but because of her quality of being willing to help her classmates. This time, every member of the study group she led performed extremely well."
Zou Meng last time ranked 26th, this time ranked 12th, improved by 14 places.
Han Xiao's ranking improved by 7 places from 31st last time to 24th this time.
Li Lin ranked 45th last time and 32nd this time, improving by 13 places.
Meng Kang was last ranked first from the bottom. This time he ranked 35th, an improvement of a full 18 places, and he is the student who has made the most progress in this study group.
"There are no stupid children, only those who don't work hard. Everyone has seen the progress of these few students, right? This is all due to their hard work, while some classmates in our class have also regressed greatly. What's the reason for this? Isn't it because..."
Teacher Li on the podium began a torrent of lectures, many students who did not do well in the exam were filled with remorse, one by one lowering their heads as if they had been put on trial.
The classmates in Song Jie's study group were beaming with joy. This time, they can finally hold their heads high and feel proud of themselves. If only there was more time, the results might have been even better.
This time's results are already quite good in Song Jie's opinion, no matter what, the most important thing is that there has been progress. If she had tutored for a whole day without any progress, she would definitely be furious.
In Mr. Li's opinion, it's still because Song Jie is capable, looks like he'll have to give her more responsibilities in the future. If Song Jie knew what her class teacher was thinking at this moment, she would definitely faint, she hates trouble, okay?!
No wonder he's a teacher, Mr. Li didn't even take a breath for the entire lesson
She spoke without repeating a word, giving everyone a whole lesson of ideological education. If the bell hadn't rung, she probably wouldn't have been willing to end class.
Before leaving, Teacher Li dropped a bombshell: at 1:30 pm on Saturday, parents of each student are required to attend the parent-teacher conference.
This is going to blow up the whole camp. Wasn't it just about poor grades? Why did they all have to come? I thought I could hide it and get away with it, but I guess not.
Song Jie was also quite surprised. What Teacher Li said during the summer vacation didn't seem like a lie, so why did he suddenly change his mind?
Actually, Teacher Li didn't want to change either, but the school changed its mind. She had no choice and could only follow suit. The school isn't her family's business, she can't do whatever she wants.
Students are most afraid of having parent-teacher conferences, if their grades aren't good they'll inevitably get a beating with a bamboo stick after going home, it's not easy being a filial child under the rod.
Everyone was like the end of the world, and the whole classroom was filled with sorrow.
Apart from Song Jie, almost everyone has a certain degree of decline, and only a few can make progress. It's strange to have a good mood at this time.
Song Jie didn't care anyway, after all her mother came just for show and wouldn't lose face or anything.
Li Lin and others are eagerly looking forward to this parent-teacher conference, just thinking about it gives them a sense of pride and satisfaction.
For his poor grades, Li Lin had been beaten countless times, but he was too playful and couldn't focus on studying. Besides, he had long been used to being physically punished by his father, so what's there to be afraid of?
Everyone has a desire for self-improvement, and he is no exception. Who doesn't want to get good grades? This time, they can finally hold their heads up in front of their family.
The results are still not good enough this time, I must be able to get a better score next time, Li Lin thought.
No matter how unwilling they are, parents will still have to attend on time, and no one can escape.
The class ended, and it was time for Zou Meng to find Wang Caiyuan to calculate the total account. Wang Caiyuan's mind had been elsewhere throughout the entire class, and her usual arrogance was nowhere to be seen.
"Wang Caiyan, what's so good about you? How was my score this time?" Zou Meng had a smug look on her face, making others think she was the villain.
"Hmph, isn't it just one good test? I apologize to you, shouldn't have quarreled with you, looked down on you." Wang Caiyan also came around, herself not being someone who can't afford to lose, willing to admit defeat.
This time it was her own fault, apologizing is what she should have done. She just looks down on those classmates who don't study well, and this temperament can't be changed.
When Zou Meng heard Wang Caiyan apologize so readily, it was like a mouthful of water had choked in her throat, making her feel extremely uncomfortable. She hadn't even had the chance to attack Wang Caiyan yet, and already she had admitted defeat - this was just too quick!
Li Lin chimed in from the side: "Oh, admitting defeat, huh? Didn't someone say that if you lose, you have to admit you're an idiot?"
Wang Caiyan almost burst into tears when she heard this, normally thinking of herself as clever, to admit that she was stupid was even more serious than killing her.
At this time she regretted it extremely, why did she make such a bet, now she's done for, can't get off the stage.
Seeing Wang Caiyan's tears about to fall, Zou Meng suddenly felt embarrassed. He had originally said it was just a pit for others to dig, but he didn't expect to bully someone so badly.
。
"Oh dear, don't cry, I'm telling you, now that you've apologized, let's just forget about it, silly stuff like that I'd already forgotten, anyway, it was just a joke."
Little overlord Li Lin was also at a loss, he was afraid of girls crying, and he hadn't said anything, but the girl was about to cry, girls are just too sensitive. The sharp words couldn't be spoken again, he scratched his head, rolled his eyes, and was speechless.
"Really?" Wang Caiyan looked at Zou Meng with tears in her eyes, and even the tip of her nose was red.
Song Jie looked at him and thought he was somehow cute. His weird three views were really something else.
Zou Meng was also looked at with some embarrassment, she was a kind girl too, and naturally nodded: "Really, I forgive you. But you can't look down on people in the future."
"Hmm, I'll listen to you. If you continue to study well in the future, I'll be friends with you, can you keep studying well?" Some people didn't know and thought she was being sarcastic.
The friendship between girls is so weird, Zou Mengdeng understood, Wang Caiyan wanted to be friends with herself, she also nodded: "Okay, I'll study hard from now on, and we'll be good friends from then on."
Wang Caiyan finally cracked a smile: "Yeah, we're good friends now."
Li Lin on the side was bewildered, how did they go from being sworn enemies to becoming friends? Nowadays, girls are really getting harder and harder to understand...
Actually, Wang Caiyan just looked down on those who didn't study well, and had never provoked Song Jie. This shows that she is not a jealous girl, as for looking down on those who don't study well, this isn't a bad habit, just don't be so obvious in the future.
Zou Meng thought to himself, since they were all friends now, he had a responsibility to help his good friend change his bad habits. Who doesn't have some flaws? If he changed, he would be a good classmate and a good friend.
Wang Caiyan's back of the neck suddenly felt cold, and she had a bad premonition.
The ending was a happy one, but it took a strange turn that no one expected. Wang Caiyan later joined the study group and became one of Song Jie's closest friends.
The thoughts of students are very pure and not so dirty, who can really make trouble for others over a small matter? It's not a mortal enemy.
Anyway, this matter finally came to an end that everyone was delighted about, and even Meng Kang accepted Wang Caiyan into the ranks of friends.
The parents' meeting on Saturday went ahead as usual, and for two days everyone was hoping that the school would change its mind. This wasn't something that hadn't happened before, but in the end there wasn't a shred of change.
Classmates had no choice but to go home and report the news with a mournful face, some even dared not tell their family about their own results, thinking that dragging on for a while was just a temporary idea.
Li Lin didn't tell his dad about his grades this time either. This time he wanted to give his dad a big surprise, but the surprise almost turned into a fright!!
It all started with Li Lin and his dad talking about this exam. He told his dad that the results of the exam had come out, and the school wanted all parents to attend a parent-teacher conference, not one was allowed to be absent.
Who knew that when Li Lin's dad heard about this, he was furious, grabbed a broom and wanted to beat him. Scared, Li Lin ran out far away, his hair standing on end.
