Chapter 189: Chapter 189 Didn’t Get into College
But the Jiang family members reacted indifferently upon hearing this, for them, being able to finish high school and become a worker in the county was already a matter of great honor.
Only Jiang Changhai and Su Wanyu were very excited, “Teacher Liu, so you’re saying, my girl might be able to go to college in the future?”
At first, they had only hoped their daughter could finish high school; they never imagined that there was now the possibility of her going to college.
It was then that Jiang Mianmian was taken aback: What? College? Her?
Teacher Liu adjusted her glasses and said, “Yes. Now our entire country is starting to value education more. As long as you parents cooperate and cultivate Jiang Mianmian well, she is very likely to get into college and become a college student.”
Jiang Mianmian shouted in her heart: No, I don’t want to take the college entrance exam, I don’t want to go to college!
The System snickered in the shadows, “You may not want to, but you have to take the exam. Accept your fate, Host!”
But Zhaodi scoffed silently in her heart, thinking that her uncle’s family was being ridiculously fanciful.
In her previous life, San Ya, although she often ranked first in the primary school in the commune and maintained top three results in junior high, her high school performance was only above average, and she never made it to college.
However, now considering the variable in this life where San Ya was directly entering the fourth grade, she began to feel uncertain again.
It was only then that the other members of the Jiang family realized the significance of the reinstatement of the college entrance exam and became excited as well, “It’s good that they reinstated it, really good!”
Now, not only could their Old Jiang Family raise a city dweller, but there was also a good chance to produce a college student!
The couple from Third Branch asked eagerly and expectantly, “Teacher Liu, do you think my boys Zhiwen and Zhiwu can get into college?”
Teacher Liu glanced at the two boys who had been trying to make themselves less noticeable in a corner of the room and after a moment’s thought, she said, “I’m not Jiang Zhiwen’s homeroom teacher, so I won’t make any assumptions. But as for Jiang Zhiwu’s current grades, he’ll have to work harder even to get into junior high, oh, and here is Jiang Zhiwu’s report card.”
Seeing her pull out two papers covered in big red crosses, Zhiwu’s face turned pale with fear; now he was really doomed!
The couple from Third Branch looked at the report card with 39 and 42 points marked in glaring red and their expressions turned even uglier.
This darn kid’s two subjects combined don’t even match San Ya’s score in one subject!
The contrast was so stark; they felt like they were losing all face in this lifetime, all in this one day.
If there were a crack in the ground, they would have jumped in without hesitation!
Seeing the couple looking upset, Teacher Liu, afraid they would hit the children, quickly reassured them, “Jiang Zhiwu is still very smart. As long as he focuses on his studies in the future, there’s still hope for him to get into college. You as parents should supervise him more.”
But this reassurance obviously didn’t do much, as the couple’s attempt at a smile looked worse than crying: “Th-thank you, Teacher, we definitely will.”
Teacher Liu “mm-hmm’ed” and then turned the conversation back to Jiang Mianmian, “Jiang Mianmian is very smart, you must cultivate her well.”
“Definitely, definitely,” Jiang Changhai nodded gravely.
“Now that I’ve delivered the papers, I won’t disturb you any longer, and you don’t need to come to the school to pick them up the day after tomorrow,” said Teacher Liu as she stood up.
“Don’t go, Teacher Liu; it’s almost noon. Have some food with us before you leave,” Jiang Changhai insisted.
Zhang Guihua invited the guest with rare, genuine warmth, “Yes, yes, Teacher Liu, just sit and wait a bit; we’ll start cooking right now.”
“No, I still have to deliver papers to other students.”
Upon hearing this, the Jiang family members could not insist further, not wanting to hold her up from her work.
