Chapter 191 Promoted to Class B
Guyu returned home on the third day of the lunar year. Sun Shan thought her expression was okay and her interaction with Xia Zhiguang was okay.
After lunch, Sun Shan followed the two of them out of the county.
When they reached the entrance of the dormitory, Xia Zhiguang said with concern, "Shanzi, if you have anything, come to the Xia family to find me."
Guyu looked at Sun Shan expectantly and said softly, "Shanzi, you must eat well and study hard. Your elder sister is in the county town now."
Sun Shan understood the implication: he could come to her whenever he wanted. It would be convenient for her to help his brother.
Sun Shan smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, sister, I understand. I'm going back now. You can go back too."
After shutting the dormitory door heavily, Sun Shan began his study life as a boarding student.
Time flies, and after Guyu got married, the New Year came quickly.
When the Sun family transported oranges, they also sent New Year flowers to the city.
Sun Shan did not go with him. His studies became more and more demanding, and Hong Xiucai's expectations of Sun Shan became higher and higher.
After the New Year, Sun Shan officially entered Class B. He Weizhan also entered Class B with him.
As for the other students, they were still not ready and were left in Class C.
The poor student Zeng Jiajun said with envy and jealousy: "Ashan, I didn't expect you to be such a person. Ashan, you can enter Class B in one year."
Ou Hanjun followed behind and echoed: "Ashan, why don't you wait for me, I also want to enter Class B."
Being able to enter Class B means that you have already studied the Four Books and Five Classics and have a certain understanding of them.
After a year of hard work, Sun Shan studied all the Four Books and Five Classics.
After entering Class B, the rest depends on yourself. Mr. Hong will not pull your ears and force knowledge into your head.
In Class B, students need to actively absorb knowledge.
Yao Zhi, who was taller than Sun Shan, said sourly, "Ashan, you are so amazing. Do you have any secrets to studying? Share them with us."
Perhaps colleagues are all enemies. Short guys hate short guys the most. In Class C, Sun Shan is the shortest and Yao Zhi is the second to last.
Yao Zhi just disliked Sun Shan.
Sun Shan ignored them. As long as there was no personal threat, he would ignore the sarcastic remarks.
Don't bother with children.
Despite the sour question, Sun Shan still smiled and said, "There is no secret. There is only one word: 'diligence'. The path to the mountain of books is diligence. We cannot do without 'diligence' when studying."
Sun Shan is open and honest and tells you directly that you should work hard, work hard, and work hard.
Unlike other people who appear to be lazy on the surface, he actually reads books by lamplight all night long.
Sun Shan very sincerely admitted that he read and studied all the time.
It is your freedom to follow suit or not.
Everyone was speechless when they heard what Sun Shan said.
Sun Shan is indeed very hardworking. He is a legend not only in Class C, but also in Class B and Class A.
Students have long seen how Sun Shan studied: getting up early in the morning to read, attending classes, studying on his own, practicing calligraphy, and reading extracurricular books.
Anyway, the trajectory of your study and life is clear, so it’s up to you whether you want to follow up or not.
The fat boy Du Zhipu agreed and said, "Ashan is right. There is no secret to getting into Class B. There is no secret except hard work. Just as Yan Zhenqing said, 'The lamps are lit at midnight and the roosters crow at dawn. It is the time for men to study. If you don't study hard when you are young, you will regret it when you are old."
Ever since Guyu married into Xiaowang Village, Du Zhipu and Sun Shan have had more topics to talk about. They often discuss academic matters, and their friendship has made a qualitative leap.
So Du Zhipu couldn't stand it and spoke up for Sun Shan.
Wang Weizheng, who was more easy-going, interrupted and said, "I also want to study hard and strive to enter Class B next year. Ah Shan, Ah Zhan, you wait for me."
He Weizhan was watching the show on the side. When he heard Wang Weizheng say this, he said jokingly, "Hey, by the time you get into Class B, Ashan and I would have already been in Class A. We won't wait for you."
Wang Wei was jumping up and down, pretending to be angry and said, "You are so good, Azan, wait and see how I deal with you."
A small quarrel without any smoke of gunpowder dissipated in a commotion.
Sun Shan and He Weizhuan happily moved the tables and chairs and officially started studying in Class B.
There were originally 5 people in Class B, but 2 of them jumped to Class A, leaving only 3 people.
Now with the addition of Sun Shan and Du Weizhan, the size of Class B remains at 5 people.
Sun Shan met his old acquaintance Zheng Hongwen. As for his roommate Hong Jian, he was successfully promoted to Class A and did not have the opportunity to study in Class B with Sun Shan.
Zheng Hongwen was surprised at Sun Shan's learning speed. He knew he was fast, but he didn't expect it to be so fast.
It was so unexpected that he jumped to Class B in just one year.
Zheng Tongsheng often told Zheng Hongwen that Sun Shan had extraordinary perseverance and asked him to go and learn from him.
Zheng Hongwen respected Zheng Tongsheng very much and often came over to play with Sun Shan.
At first, no one thought Sun Shan was anything special, and because of his young age and small stature, they looked down on him.
After spending some time together, from casual chats to discussions, I discovered that Sun Shan's knowledge was really solid. His views were not unconventional or eye-opening.
Instead, it is plain, concise and to the point.
Mr. Hong asked the students from Class A and Class B to check Sun Shan's answer sheet.
The whole paper is not about outstanding answers, but about writing answers in a straightforward and no-nonsense manner, which shows that this student's basic skills are genuine and not false at all.
Sun Shan greeted Zheng Hongwen and continued to sit in the first row to attend class.
Since it was the first day in Class B, Sun Shan had not yet gotten used to it and was still following the study plan of Class C.
After finishing his lecture in Class C, Hong Xiucai walked into Class B and said to the students, "Those whose names are called, please come up. We will conduct a random check today."
Sun Shan was stunned. This scene seemed familiar. Wasn't this the scene of his first day in Class C?
Sure enough, what happened next was copy and paste.
Mr. Hong checked the students one by one, and found that all of them were defeated. Mr. Hong picked up the ruler, looked stern, and beat them without any mercy.
Even Zheng Hongwen couldn't escape.
After calling out to the students in Class B, He Weizhuan was called out next.
He Weizhan walked forward timidly, waiting for Hong Xiucai to check him.
Since I put my studies aside during the Chinese New Year, I was not able to answer all the questions correctly on the first day back to school.
Mr. Hong’s random checks are long, boring and tricky, and it is really impossible for ordinary people to get 100 points.
Sure enough, Mr. Hong's face changed, He Weizhan's hands were slapped heavily, and he returned to his seat with a sad face.
Sun Shan remained calm, but he was panicking. He had never expected that he would be randomly checked on the first day of his promotion from Class C to Class B.
Mr. Hong is really amazing.
Mr. Hong sat on the chair and said calmly, "Sun Shan."
Sun Shan straightened his chest and walked towards the podium step by step.
Mr. Hong didn't say anything else and started the random checks directly.
The contents of the random tests all revolve around the Four Books and Five Classics. He would say the previous sentence, and Sun Shan would say the next sentence. Or he would give a paragraph and ask Sun Shan to recite it. Once he had recited it well, he would test you on the interpretation.
Just ask all the questions anyway.
Fortunately, Mr. Hong did not ask the legendary super-abnormal "cut-and-match questions", but only asked some basic questions.
After twelve years of hard study, five years of college entrance examinations and three years of mock exams, and two lifetimes of studying, Sun Shan can now answer questions calmly.
An hour later, Hong Xiucai felt tired and waved his hand, saying, "Go back."
Sun Shan glanced at Mr. Hong secretly and found that he was looking at the ruler in his hand with a disappointed look.
A ruler made of Hainan Huanghuali wood from the Qing Dynasty. A ruler can be used for a long time, hahaha.
