Chapter 6.1 – The Increase of Canteen Prices in the New Semester (1)

❥❥❥

Nan Xiangwan was shocked when she returned home. The room was a mess like a thief has entered.

The bedding on the bed was piled up on the table, the books on the table were swept to the floor, the mattress was lifted up, the drawers buckled upside down. All the things that could be pulled apart were pulled out, even the stuffing of the stuffed toy was taken out.

“Mom, what’s the matter?”

Guan Xiumei sat on the bed, wiped the tears on her face with her hand. “You still have a face to ask. What is this?!”

Nan Xiangwan just now noticed the silver mp3 in her hand.

Any questions? Nan Xiangwan didn’t understand.

Without her mother’s request, she consciously stop listening to popular song, only put English Listening Comprehension recordings in her mp3. Oh no, there are also some recordings of physics classes in the rocket class, but this is also for learning.

Guan Xiumei sneered, “You still pretend you don’t know? I didn’t expect you to secretly chase stars! What is this?” Guan Xiumei pressed the mp3 play button, and a man’s singing came out. The singing voice is affectionate and tactful, even when you are not on the scene, you can imagine the singer’s expression. The singing is not like an album recorded in a studio, but it was like recorded in a public place, with occasional comments and cheers from others.

Nan Xiangwan suddenly remembered that it was Lin Xiaoran’s singing that she had recorded casually between classes.

Guan Xiumei continued, “I wonder how could you regress so much. You wouldn’t it be like this if it weren’t for star chasing and obsessed with novels. I searched all the places where you could possibly hide, but you hide it well. Unexpectedly, I found it here, and it was put in the middle of physics class recording. I almost missed it.”

Nan Xiangwan smiled helplessly, but she still wanted to thank Lin Xiaoran for his good singing skills, so that her mother mistakenly thought it was a star instead of a male classmate. Nan Xiangwan knew that it was useless to say anything, so it would be better to admit her mistake directly, “I know I was wrong.”

“Do you still know what’s wrong?” Guan Xiumei stood up, “We worked so hard to raise you so that you can eat better, live better. We want you to have more time studying so we spend so much money on renting this broken house. The result? Is that how you repay us? You didn’t worry about regressing so much, and still listening to pop songs? The final exam is coming soon. Do you know what exam are you taking?!”

Guan Xiumei became more and more angry, swept the bedding on the table to the floor to vent, and burst into tears. She felt that her life was an endless tragedy.

Guan Xiumei had to take care of her younger brother on behalf of her parents when she was young. The younger brother is so loved by his parents, everything delicious was left for him. What impressed her the most was that her younger brother was rolling around on the floor playing a ball with a big red apple. She could only watch and couldn’t even touch it.

When she started school, her grades were pretty good. She was the class monitor. She also dreamed one day she could be admitted to university, but the English teacher lacked of perseverance in work. The students’ English level probably only remained at barely recognizing the English alphabet. Of course, we can’t really blame the teacher. The neighbor’s sister used a small tape recorder to study English by herself, admitted to university and then went abroad. However, she didn’t even have a tape recorder, so when Nan Xiangwan offered to buy an mp3 to learn English, she bought it without saying a word. Who can think of…

After working, she found someone from the same unit as her husband. Nan Yuemin is “honest” in everyone’s evaluation, but he is too honest. Others go to the sea or look for sideline jobs to subsidize the family. It doesn’t matter if he keeps his dead money, but he doesn’t know how to fight if there is a chance. He is old but is still the lowest-level employee.

In this unit’s family yard, everyone meets often. Others said that her husband was like this and that, she could only shirk and find a place to hide. The only thing worth showing off is her own child. Under her persistent publicity, even the vendors who change the screen window and clean the range hood every few months know that her child has good grades and would be admitted to Guanghua University. She also kept telling herself in her heart, to bear with it. When Nan Xiangwan received admission letter from Guanghua University, she would be able to breathe freely.

But this time, Nan Xiangwan disappointed her again.

What Guan Xiumei didn’t know was that Nan Xiangwan was also uncomfortable in her heart.

As the final exam approached, her pressure increased day by day. Although she is studying hard every day, she has to admit that she is not sure about returning to the Rockets class in this final exam.

There are too many questions, and it takes too long to study one question. I can’t research the answer to one question, and I have no interest in other questions. This vicious circle, from time to time, made her feel scared when she mentioned studying.

Mother has left, Nan Xiangwan sat in a daze in the messy room. How much she hopes that everything is a dream. When she wakes up, she is a graduate of a prestigious school and works in a well-known enterprise.

“Ah…” Nan Xiangwan sighed unknowingly. Suddenly, the room flashed brightly, but it was not white light, but colorful like gems. Nan Xiangwan raised her head and looked out the window. With a loud bang, a firework blossomed outside the window. Soon, one after another burst of fireworks exploded in the sky, welcoming the coming of the new year.

What can she do, life will continue, at least she still has time now.

Nan Xiangwan didn’t think much again. She quickly got up from the ground to clean the house.

She used all her strength to move the mattress back, make the bed, then organized the desk into a usable area, and immediately review the knowledge points.

It was a sunny Monday when the exam results came out. It was finally a holiday. As soon as the students entered the classroom, they began to sit and chat together, but Nan Xiangwan took out the exercise book to do the questions.

At first, Jiang Daling thought she was reading a novel. When she saw that Nan Xiangwan started to write and draw on the draft paper, she was shocked that her fake eyelashes fell off, “No way.. you still do the questions after the exam?

“I bought it all. It would be a pity if I didn’t finish it.” Nan Xiangwan said faintly.

Jiang Daling was sticking her eyelashes in the mirror while thinking about Nan Xiangwan’s words repeatedly. It sounded a bit reasonable, but she felt that something was wrong.

After a while, Lin Xiaoran came. He waved the paper in his hand and shouted, “The report card is here!”

Before the words were over, the classmates scrambled around with a cry of exclamation. Those who didn’t have time to get up would ask someone they know to help take a look.

“Zhang Chao, you are so amazing. From the bottom to the fifth, oops, failed in English, hahaha…”

“Li Shuai, you are so good at math. You cheated.”

“You cheated!”

The classmates quarreled together, but Nan Xiangwan sat in place and stayed still. Seeing that there were fewer people in front, Jiang Daling got up and left. “Would you like me to help you look at it?”

“No need.” The hand holding the pen suddenly tightened. God knows how nervous Nan Xiangwan is at this moment. But she didn’t want people to see it, deliberately pretending to be calm and gentle.

Lin Xiaoran, who had just returned to his seat, rushed to say, “You can just look at your own. What are you doing with others?”

“I care about my classmate! Not like you…” Jiang Daling rolled her eyes and left.

After Jiang Daling left, Nan Xiangwan didn’t look up from beginning to end. She repeatedly read the topics in the workbook without knowing what was wrong. She knew every word, but she just couldn’t read it.

Seeing that she hadn’t written for a long time, Lin Xiaoran asked, “Do you know that you didn’t do well in the exam?”

Nan Xiangwan shook her hand, the tip of the pen left a black hole on the white paper. Lin Xiaoran read the report card, and it seems that his results are indeed not ideal. But he also expected this, as long as it’s not at the bottom of the class.

Nan Xiangwan took a deep breath, buried her head deeper, and forced herself to focus on the subject.

Suddenly, a burst of laughter broke out in the ear, “Puff…”

Lin Xiaoran couldn’t help but laugh. His voice was very nice, even his laughter was special. He lowered his body, propped the table with his chin, and looked up at Nan Xiangwan, “The tenth in class, you are too good!”

“Huh?” Tenth in the class, is it me? Nan Xiangwan was shocked. She was 54 in the class in the mid-term exam. From this point of view, she has improved a lot. It can be described as flying high.

“Really? Don’t lie to me.” Nan Xiangwan didn’t believe it, and repeatedly confirmed to Lin Xiaoran

“If you don’t believe me, go and see.”

Nan Xiangwan immediately threw down her pen and rushed to the podium. She took a report card from someone else and saw that, yes, she was ranked tenth, higher than the team leader’s ranking.

The team leader sitting in the front row was lying on the table at this moment, crying out of breath. Nan Xiangwan handed the report card to the students behind, still with an indifferent expression on her face.

This result is better than she expected, but it is still a bit worse than the Rockets class. As she is getting closer and closer to her senior year in high school, can she still get the admission letter from Guanghua University?

When she returned to her seat, Lin Xiaoran looked at her and smiled, “Now it’s good. You will sit in front of me next time. I can no longer block you.”

“Huh…” Nan Xiangwan thought so too. She was finally able to get rid of Lin Xiaoran in the new semester and live a life of looking at the blackboard as she pleased.

Who knows that the plan can’t keep up with the changes. After the new semester started, the headteacher suddenly changed his mind about the seat issue. “We shouldn’t take the rankings so seriously. The important thing is to compare ourselves with ourselves. This time we are a little better than last time. A great victory. Think about it, an exam will increase by 10 points, and by the time of the college entrance examination, it will be 180 points. I also looked back and reflected for a while. It was my fault in the past. I always wanted to use rankings to motivate you guys. I never thought about whether doing so would have a counterproductive effect. I’ve decided that there will be no change in seats this semester. This seat arrangement is very good, and you will sit like this in the future.”

“Puff…” Lin Xiaoran laughed unscrupulously when the head teacher finished talking.

Nan Xiangwan almost fainted.

The headteacher continued to cheer up the students, “The new semester has begun, and this report card can only represent the past. From now on, everything is new. The next semester is the most critical stage of the entire high school. No matter how good the previous results are, with a new study material next semester, it’s easy to fall down. No matter how bad it was before, it’s not too late to start working hard now…”
