Chapter 182 Preparing for the Monthly Exam
Get up early the next morning to read, and then have breakfast.
I haven’t seen my classmates for 4 days. When I returned to the classroom, I missed them so much.
The other classmates did the same, chatting away before class started.
The fat boy Du Zhipu whispered, "The monthly exam is coming up in a few days. If I don't do well, I'll be spanked again."
Sun Shan was stunned. He had never heard of monthly exams. He asked curiously, "A Pu, does the school have monthly exams? Do we have exams every month?"
Yao Zhi, who was slightly taller than Sun Shan, explained, "The school has an exam every month, and the scores are divided into three categories: A, B, and C. If you get a C, you will be beaten with a stick."
Sun Shan asked in confusion, "Our learning processes are different, so why are you giving us the same test questions?"
The poor student Zeng Jiajun shook his head and said, "The teacher will set questions based on your learning progress."
He looked at Sun Shan with a bitter look and said, "Ashan, you and I have the same test questions. It's our progress that is the same."
That's right, Sun Shan spent a month to catch up with the learning progress of the poor student Zeng Jiajun, which made Zeng Jiajun nervous and worried all day long.
As for the other classmates, they were so shocked that their jaws dropped. They couldn't believe that Sun Shan's one month of study was equivalent to Zeng Jiajun's several years of study.
So everyone surrounded Sun Shan and asked him questions one by one based on what he had learned.
To everyone's despair, Sun Shan answered their questions word for word without any mistakes.
Now Class C has entered a tense learning atmosphere. Sun Shan is like a catfish put into a pond, which stimulates other fish in the pond to study hard, fearing that they will be overtaken by Sun Shan.
Sun Shan smiled secretly. He didn't expect to be personally involved in the catfish effect, and be the catfish in the C position.
Sun Shan felt Zeng Jiajun's trembling, patted his shoulder, and said comfortingly: "Jun, you are not stupid, it's just that you are distracted in class and have too many distractions. You can't devote yourself to studying. Let's encourage each other and work hard to do well in this monthly exam."
Zeng Jiajun rolled his eyes. When he first saw Sun Shan, he was a little kid. When he saw him again, he was a top student.
Don't judge a book by its cover; you can't judge the depth of the sea by its depth. The short and thin Sun Shan turned out to be a dark horse in the study and was desperately catching up with the students behind.
It made me more nervous than ever before.
Spending several years studying had the same effect as spending one month studying.
Alas, God is unfair!
In fact, Zeng Jiajun learned more than Sun Shan, but he just skimmed the surface. Later, the teacher asked him to start over again and only move on to the next book after he had mastered it.
So he always lingered at the end of Class C, and those who started later than him soon surpassed him.
It’s just that Sun Shan was the fastest, which made his classmates unbelievable.
Everyone had a heated discussion about the monthly exam, and Sun Shan also roughly understood the content of the monthly exam.
To put it simply, Hong Xiucai is testing whether the knowledge you have learned in a month is solid. If it is not solid, stop talking nonsense and be beaten with a stick.
When the bell rang outside, Class C immediately became quiet. Mr. Hong hated students talking in class the most.
The students also know the rules well. As long as they are in class, they don't talk about anything other than academic matters.
After waiting for a while, Mr. Hong came.
The first thing he said was, "Dear students, there will be a monthly exam tomorrow. You need to be prepared. Do you hear me?"
Everyone said quickly, "I heard it, Master."
I was afraid that if I hesitated for a second, the teacher would see me.
Mr. Hong is very vindictive. He won't do anything to you openly, but when he beats you with the stick, he will increase the force. When it comes to studying, his attitude is quite strict, which is very different from his attitude towards life matters.
After talking about the monthly exam, the teacher did not conduct a random check. He must have thought that since there was a monthly exam tomorrow, a random check was not important. Anyway, whoever got a C grade would be prepared to be beaten.
According to their learning progress, Hong Xiucai divided the students in Class C into different groups, so he didn't have to teach them one by one and saved time.
When it was Sun Shan and Zeng Jiajun's turn, Hong Xiucai changed his mind and gave lectures to them separately.
He said directly: "Zeng Jiajun, you are at the same pace as Sun Shan, but Sun Shan can learn ten articles a day. How about you? If you can understand one article a day, you are considered successful. So you two will have the same test questions tomorrow, but I will still teach you separately so that you won't fall behind."
After saying this, Zeng Jiajun's face turned red and he lowered his head, not daring to speak.
Sun Shan was greatly shocked. The Master spoke too directly and showed no mercy at all.
The only thing to be thankful for is that Zeng Jiajun is thick-skinned and cheerful, otherwise he would definitely vent his anger on others.
Sun Shan was afraid of being bullied because he was too small to defeat Zeng Jiajun.
There is also a person whose family runs a security agency, and all the bodyguards in the agency are mighty warriors with excellent kung fu skills.
Sun Shan thought about calling on the elders and villagers of Sunjia Village to join the fight, but he might not be able to win.
However, it was later proved that Sun Shan was overthinking. Zeng Jiajun had experienced this kind of straightforward speech countless times and had become accustomed to it. The so-called venting of anger was not true at all.
After Hong Xiucai finished his lecture with Zeng Jiajun, he talked to Sun Shan.
Hong Xiucai said with great satisfaction: "Sun Shan, you are good. You insist on studying even during the holidays. Keep it up."
Mr. Hong almost said: I am confident in you!
Sun Shan was greatly encouraged and answered resolutely: "Master, I will."
After helping Sun Shan teach, the morning study was over.
Everyone packed up their things and went to the kitchen to eat, chatting and laughing.
Sun Shan got the lunch box and opened it to see that it was pork fried with bamboo shoots. The portion was twice as much as usual, probably because of the bamboo shoots that Sun Bomin had given her, so Aunt Zhang gave Sun Shan more vegetables.
Ou Hanjun smiled and said, "Ashan, the bamboo shoots your family sent are really delicious."
Sun Shan responded: "Bamboo shoots are the freshest now, and I like them too."
When I was picking up the lunch box just now, Aunt Zhang said from afar that it was thanks to Sun Shan that she could eat such refreshing and delicious bamboo shoots, so the whole school knew that Sun Bomin delivered bamboo shoots to the kitchen.
This made Sun Shan feel very embarrassed. It seemed like he was flattering and bribing the school, which was really not in line with Sun Shan's style.
When other classmates saw the bamboo shoots, they also wanted to eat them. So you gave me a chopstick of food and I gave you a chopstick of food. We shared the food with each other and ate it with relish, enjoying ourselves very much.
During the afternoon self-study class, Sun Shan chose to review.
The monthly exam is tomorrow, although it is a small exam and not worth mentioning.
This is my first exam at Hong Academy.
Sun Shan wanted to get off to a good start and test whether he had truly mastered what he had learned in the past month.
I don't want to fail the exam and get beaten.
Sun Shan had never been beaten with a stick in the one month since he came to Hong's School, and he wanted to maintain his record of not being beaten with a stick.
Become a legendary figure of Hong’s School.
Sun Shan reviewed carefully and wrote down the key points. Since it was difficult to write with a brush, he used charcoal pencil.
The "Jinbangtiming" bookstore sells charcoal pencils made of burned willow twigs and are not expensive. Sun Shan bought a large bunch and took notes.
But this is only a preliminary memory. If you want to keep a copy and check it later, you need to write it down once with a brush.
