On the day of the exam, the best-selling items in the shop outside the school gate were stationery such as pads and neutral ballpoint pens.
The desks are bumpy, but students are not allowed to use textbooks as cushions during exams, so they have to prepare a pad.
There are large white pads that cost 50 cents each, and students basically have to buy a new one for each exam.
It can also be used as draft paper and as a fan when the weather is hot.
The more advanced ones are the soft pads made of green transparent EVA material with ruler markings printed on the edge, and there are also the classic hard pads from Delphi, which can be used many times.
In addition, there are some pads printed with multiplication tables and English tables, which are prohibited from use during exams.
There are also some pads printed with Sailor Moon and Digimon, which are a bit fancy.
Chen Qiao spent his last fifty cents to buy a new white pad and is now penniless.
During the exam, the seat remained the same.
I just moved my own stool to sit behind the desk, facing the blackboard at the back.
Naturally, all the math problems on the blackboard at the back were wiped clean.
Nowadays, everyone attaches great importance to their desks and chairs.
Many people try every means to cheat with their classmates just because their benches are wobbly.
If you ask Chen Qiao why he knows this so clearly, it is because he and Lin Na are victims, and it has happened more than once.
In the morning, we have Chinese and math exams, each lasting one and a half hours.
In the afternoon, we have English exams, which lasts one hour.
We go home after both exams.
Because of the exams, the activities of the Civility Persuasion Team have been stopped, but the classrooms and sanitary areas still need to be cleaned, and the teachers will check them personally.
The test papers are distributed on time at 8 o’clock.
It is said to be a monthly exam, but it is just a little more formal than the usual small tests.
The papers are made by the school teachers themselves and invigilated by the subject teachers.
Those who submit their papers early can enjoy the privilege of early grading and know their scores on the spot.
Even top students are afraid of making some low-level mistakes and being scolded.
Scan the test paper roughly, write down some of the ancient poems you know, and the composition is a topic-based composition, which is about growth.
“Open a book called growth, and read the past events one by one…”Chen Qiao glanced at his deskmate Lin Na, who happened to turn her head to look at Chen Qiao.
“Come on.”
Chen Qiao said softly.
“Um.”
Chen Qiao had plenty of time for the exam.
He wrote every stroke neatly, his paper was tidy, and he made almost no corrections or typos.
After checking it two or three times, he began to estimate his score.
He was not sure he could get all the open-ended answers in the reading passage right, so one or two points might be deducted.
It would be difficult to get full marks in the composition, as they would not be given easily even in the monthly exam.
Chen Qiao glanced at Lin Na out of the corner of his eye.
She was writing an essay seriously.
Chinese was her best subject, but her score usually hovered around 80 points.
At 9:30, the bell rang and the head teacher Yang Fang shouted, “The exam is over. Everyone stop writing. The group leaders are responsible for collecting the papers.”
Many people take out their textbooks immediately after handing in their papers to look for the pronunciation of the ancient poems or polyphonetic characters they have memorized, to see if they have done it correctly.
Lin Na was the same.
She first breathed a sigh of relief, then looked embarrassed.
The math exam starts at 10 o’clock, with a 30-minute break in the middle.
Most people take this time to go to the toilet, and the toilet is crowded.
After waiting for ten minutes, Chen Qiao stood up and asked, “Do you want to go to the bathroom together?”
There should be no one in the toilet now.
Lin Na was reading a math book, cramming for the exam and not wasting any time to review.
If you read ancient poems or essays before taking the Chinese exam, it may be of some help.
But for math, just looking at the formulas and knowledge points may provide more psychological comfort than actual effect, and it may relieve the nervousness before the exam to a certain extent.
“Huh?”
Lin Na looked surprised.
It was common for boys to go to the toilet together, or for girls to go to the toilet together, but it was unheard of for boys and girls to go to the toilet together.
Lin Na didn’t have any particularly close friends.
She went to and from school with her younger sister, and on her days off she helped out at home.
Whenever someone asked her to go out and play, she would say no, and gradually no one came to play with her anymore.
“I don’t really need to go to the bathroom. I want to read more.”
“It will be too late to go to the bathroom when you take the exam. How about I tell you the important points on the way? It won’t delay your review, and it’s better than just flipping through the book randomly.”
“That makes sense. What you said makes me want to go to the bathroom too.”
After Chen Qiao’s tutoring to Lin Na in self-study classes over the past few days, Lin Na felt that it was right to listen to him when it came to studying, and that Chen Qiao was much smarter than herself.
Lin Na closed her textbook and walked towards the classroom door with Chen Qiao.
The disadvantage of moving the examination seat behind the desk was that it was much more convenient to enter and exit the seat, and Chen Qiao could not rub against Lin Na.
Wu Xinyu saw that Chen Qiao and Lin Na were still thinking about dating on the day of the exam.
You will know you are wrong when the test results come out.
Chen Qiao talked about the knowledge points and formulas in a general way, but the effect was limited.
He still needed to do more exercises.
It depended on how much Lin Na could remember and whether she could guess the questions correctly.
These days, Chen Qiao has been teaching Lin Na fourth and fifth grade math content, helping her to consolidate her basics and fill in the gaps.
The progress has been slow, and only after Lin Na has fully understood it did Chen Qiao teach her the next important knowledge point.
He did not disrupt his plans because of today’s monthly exam.
Firstly, he had to write a novel and did not have much time, and secondly, forcing things to happen might not be effective.
Chen Qiao has a long-term vision.
The primary school graduation exam is not even a small hurdle.
To become childhood sweethearts, they have to go through junior high school, high school and even university student life hand in hand.
Although it is difficult for Lin Na to keep up with Chen Qiao with her academic ability, she also has a talent for art.
Chen Qiao finished using the toilet first and waited for Lin Na outside the women’s restroom.
Since he had a criminal record, he was not afraid of being called a pervert.
He was so bored that he started counting for fun.
When he counted to forty, he finally saw Lin Na come out.
Seeing Lin Na biting a handkerchief in her mouth, she wiped her hands with the handkerchief after washing them.
When she turned around and saw Chen Qiao, she ran towards him with a slightly red face and said, “I thought you went back to the classroom first.”
“We came here together, so of course we have to go back together.”
The first and second grade classrooms were very noisy.
They only had one test in the morning and then studied on their own until the usual school dismissal time.
The two walked to the third floor and happened to meet the math teacher who was holding a test paper and a teacup.
Lin Na immediately distanced herself from Chen Qiao guiltily, like a frightened little rabbit.
Chen Qiao couldn’t pull her back in front of the teacher.
“Chen Qiao, please help me carry him to the classroom.””yes.”
Chen Qiao was directly drafted by the math teacher and was asked to distribute the test papers as soon as he returned to the classroom.
The certainty of the estimated score in the math test is much higher.
I will use this full score paper to ask my parents to give birth to a younger sister for me.
It is a bit difficult to succeed in one go, but it is good to say it every day to make my parents have some thoughts.
Once the family’s financial situation improves greatly, neither the compensation for having more children than allowed nor the cost of raising a daughter will be a problem.
When you are well fed and warm, you will think about what to do, and everything will fall into place.
After receiving the royalties, Chen Qiao wanted to hide it from his parents for the time being.
It was not because they did not trust him, but his mother did not trust him.
She would definitely help him keep the money, saying that it would be used for his future college education, or even for getting married and buying a house.
She would never let a half-grown child use the money to invest in other things.
Lin Na started to fall into her old habit again.
She started to apply formulas randomly when she didn’t understand something, hoping that she could succeed and earn some points in the process.
Chen Qiao naturally couldn’t help Lin Na cheat, because that would harm her, not help her.
When the math teacher walked around the classroom and walked to the front, he pinched Lin Na’s palm and said, “Don’t worry, there’s still time left. Make sure you get all the answers right first.”
