"Xiao Chen is here, sit down." Ding Yongfeng was grading papers for the students who were trying out this time. When he saw her coming in, he smiled and asked her to sit down.
"Uncle Ding, does your school's class recruit students from outside the school?" Chen Lishu said hesitantly after sitting down.
Ding Yongfeng paused while correcting the test paper: "Xiao Chen wants to participate?"
"Yes." Chen Lishu nodded.
In the past two years, I have been self-study and have never received any systematic instruction. Although I occasionally did well in Gu Xingping's test papers, only Chen Lishu knew that she was actually quite far behind.
Seeing Ding Yongfeng frowning and not speaking for a long time, she knew that what she mentioned might be a bit rash, but Chen Lishu still said shamelessly: "Uncle Ding, my participation is not in vain. I can share the learning materials I have with the school."
Because she had been preparing for a long time in advance, she had accumulated a lot of study materials. Just at that time at the scrap collection station, she collected a lot of precious materials from the past six years, and there were also the few books she bought on this trip to the provincial capital.
Ever since the news leaked out, study materials have been snapped up and are no longer available in bookstores.
Ding Yongfeng heard her words and thought: "Xiao Chen, how many study materials do you have?"
After ten years of persecution, the school does not have much useful information for students. Most of them are test questions written by teachers based on their own knowledge. If Chen Lishu can really provide review materials, it will definitely be a good thing for the school, but
As for adding an extra chair, the principal probably won't object.
Chen Lishu's eyes lit up when she heard what he said. She stood up and said, "Uncle Ding, please wait for me for a while. I'll get you the information." As she said that, she walked out quickly.
Ding Yongfeng looked at her anxious back and smiled helplessly. A person who was always steady could be so reckless sometimes. It seemed that she really wanted to join the class.
Ding Yongfeng was really surprised when Chen Lishu came over with a large pile of books and materials. After browsing through them, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.
A lot of precious information is almost impossible to find in the world.
"Xiao Chen, where did you find these books? Do you know how important they are to everyone at this critical moment? These may very well change the fate of many people!"
When Chen Lishu heard that they were useful, she finally let go of her worries. She pursed her lips and said with a smile: "I actually got these from a scrap recycling station by chance."
Ding Yongfeng thought it was no wonder, these materials were treated as rubbish by those people during the most violent years.
"Are you really willing to provide this information to the school? If others pass the exam because of your information, then you..." Ding Yongfeng touched the book in his hand cherishingly, raised his head and looked at her seriously.
Human nature is selfish. At this critical moment, how many people study secretly in private with materials, for fear that others who have passed the exam will steal their spot.
Although he didn't say the next words, Chen Lishu already understood what he meant and said with a smile: "I know what you mean, Uncle Ding, but my competitors are not just limited to our county, but tens of thousands across the country.
Millions of candidates. As the saying goes, thousands of troops cross a single-plank bridge. I think that working behind closed doors will not improve myself much. If I go to a school where there are teachers and students, it will help me more. Even if it only improves by one point, I will be better in the whole country.
Maybe it beats dozens or hundreds of competitors.”
"Haha." Ding Yongfeng laughed happily after hearing her words, and finally said with emotion: "Xiao Chen, it would be great if everyone could have your ideological consciousness."
He was still hesitant to say it before, but after hearing what she said, Ding Yongfeng decided to recommend her to the principal to participate. Even if it didn't succeed in the end, he would work harder and give her private tutoring.
"Keep these information for now. I will mention this to the principal tomorrow. Don't worry, Xiao Chen. Even if it doesn't work, there will still be uncle and your aunt."
With Ding Yongfeng's words, Chen Lishu felt relieved. After leaving Ding's house, she went straight home to study.
Things went very smoothly, especially after the principal listened to Ding Yongfeng's retelling of Chen Lishu's words, he immediately agreed to her request without saying a word.
At the same time, the principal was inspired by this incident and held an impromptu study group meeting. If anyone in the family is like Chen Lishu and is willing to share study materials for free, he can recommend her in private.
After this decision, the school actually attracted several people who were already working and wanted to go to college, and also obtained several very useful study materials.
"Third sister-in-law, what you said is true. Will you go to school with me from now on?" Gu Xingping was after school that day. Hearing Chen Lishu's words, she happily took her hand and shook her a few times.
Chen Lishu smiled: "Not only me, but also Ding Chen. He will also be with us in the future."
Gu Xingping turned her head and focused her gaze on Ding Chen: "You are good at studying, why are you joining in the fun?"
Ding Chen scratched his head in embarrassment: "I have forgotten a lot of things. Besides, there are many school materials, which makes it easier for me to study."
In fact, he had no problem studying at home. He just wanted to see Gu Xingping more often, so he mentioned to his family that he wanted to go to school.
Because she was going to school the next day, Chen Lishu felt excited and a little timid. She kept her eyes open at night and couldn't sleep until very late.
She wanted to get up and write a letter to Gu Xingdong, but she was afraid that it would be embarrassing if she failed the exam. She wanted to wait until the results were available before telling him.
In order to go to school in a full mental state, Chen Lishu closed her eyes and tried hard to clear her mind and not let too many thoughts interfere with her. After an unknown amount of time, she finally fell asleep.
The next day, Chen Lishu got up early and had just made breakfast when Ding Chen opened the door and came in from outside.
"Why are you here so early? Have you eaten? Why don't you eat something here? My third sister-in-law made burritos and said it would be convenient to bring food for lunch." Gu Xingping said when she saw him come in.
"I've eaten." Ding Chen said and automatically sat down on the sofa nearby, waiting silently for the two of them to eat.
Soon after the aunt and sister-in-law finished eating, Chen Lishu packed the food they wanted to bring, and the three of them set off to No. 1 Middle School together.
