Chapter 88 Joint Examination of Four Provinces

[Thank you again to '盛世清欢' for the generous donation! And thank you again to all the previous donors! Please continue reading!]

March has passed in the blink of an eye, and the April winds have quietly swept through the small mountain town, dispelling the damp chill of March.

The No. 1 Middle School held its second joint examination, which was jointly organized by the Southwest F4 Schools. Both the difficulty of the test papers and the level of attention paid by the education department far exceeded the previous one.

The purpose of this joint examination is to promote exchanges among different provinces in terms of education policies and test standards, and to enhance the level of regional educational collaboration.

It also helps candidates familiarize themselves with the exam process and adjust their preparation strategies.

Education in Guizhou Province has consistently lagged behind among the top four educational institutions in Southwest China.

The number of students admitted to Tsinghua and Peking Universities each year is relatively small, and the high-scoring students are nowhere near as good as their big brothers from Sichuan and Chongqing. They can only compete with their unfortunate brother from Yunnan Province.

The reasons for this are twofold. On the one hand, economic backwardness leads to the loss of educational resources. On the other hand, the overall quality of the test takers is indeed slightly lower.

The Guizhou Provincial Department of Education attaches great importance to the results of this joint examination. Even if it cannot be compared with Sichuan and Chongqing, it should at least not be worse than Yunnan Province.

To put it bluntly, it means you can't be at the bottom.

However, due to the difference in the number of participants, comparing the average score and the score range seems to be meaningless, so people often look at the number of people in the top 30 or top 10.

As the top scorer in the previous provincial joint examination, Jiang Xun was naturally considered a top contender, and the education department believed he had a chance to break into the top ten.

However, some people believe that a student from a small county who gets a good score on a test once in a while does not necessarily mean that he or she is truly good at the subject; there may be some exaggeration involved.

Of course, such opinions were only discussed in private; at least publicly, many people were optimistic about Jiang Xun.

The remaining students, such as Long Ting from the Third Experimental Middle School of the Provincial Capital and Han Xiao from the First Middle School of the Provincial Capital, are all strong contenders for the top ten, and at the very least, they should be in the top thirty.

For Guizhou Province, having two entries in the top ten would be quite good, having three would definitely be cause for celebration, and as for four, forget about it, it's practically impossible.

However, although the education department attaches great importance to this joint examination, in the eyes of the candidates, this examination is no different from the usual provincial joint examination.

The students of Yinxian No. 1 High School, in particular, were completely unaffected, since almost all of their grades did not affect their ranking in the four provinces.

In previous years, Yinxian No. 1 Middle School was just a nobody in large-scale joint examinations like this, but because of Jiang Xun this year, they have received unprecedented attention.

Of course, aside from Jiang Xun, even Yu Sheng, who is second in the grade, is not qualified to compete for a spot in the top 30 of the four provinces, let alone the top 10.

Even Yu Sheng at this point hoped that Jiang Xun could break into the top ten in the four provinces and bring fame to Yin County No. 1 Middle School.

In terms of internal unity, the school's education system does a very good job.

The schedule for the joint exam in the four provinces is no different from that of regular exams; it follows the same procedures as the National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao).

No one felt anything different from usual throughout the exam, except that the questions were indeed much more difficult. After the math and science exams, many people had faces scrunched up like bitter gourds.

The other students in the same exam room as Jiang Xun watched him hand in his math and science papers and leave half an hour early, their eyes filled with disbelief, as if they were looking at a ghost.

However, considering that he got full marks in math in the city-wide joint exam, the provincial joint exam, and several recent exams, and his combined science score was generally above 290, I didn't think much of it.

……

The day after the joint exam of the four provinces, on April 3, the school began the Qingming Festival holiday.

The joint exam results should be released by the time we return to school on April 5th and start evening self-study.

During his vacation, Jiang Xun spent most of his time at home writing and reading. He did want to go on a date, but Da Yang deliberately avoided him and refused to come out. The next time he wanted to meet her alone would probably have to wait until after the college entrance exam.

Xiao Yang is controlled too strictly by her mother. Even during holidays, she has to study at home, and her mother will call the home phone from time to time to check up on her.

Chen Shixuan was in Beijing, so he couldn't get help from afar. The girl would also occasionally send him some lewd pictures on purpose, adding fuel to the fire.

With his current looks, he could easily date several of the girls in school who were only 6 or 70 points.

However, having already tasted delicacies from land and sea, ordinary abalone and scallops might be difficult for him to swallow.

Of course, the main reason is that he is afraid of trouble. Even with the current Yang family and a dance student, he may not be able to handle it.

It's worth mentioning that two days ago, Li Qingning, who was far away in Shanghai, called him to tell him that the price of Bitcoin had risen to $20 and asked if he had any plans to buy.

After careful consideration, he decided to wait and see. If the price rises above $30, he will consider selling in batches.

Of course, if the price drops, we can simply freeze these Bitcoins and bring them out again when the price recovers.

On the afternoon of April 5th, Xie Zhiyun would be very busy with work because it was the day the joint entrance exam results were released.

So after Yang Kaiyi finished his afternoon nap, he asked Jiang Xun to go to the park to "study" together. As for whether it was to learn knowledge or to learn posture, Yang Kaiyi didn't say.

When Jiang Xun arrived at the small flower bed in the park, Yang Kaiyi had already arrived and was idly jumping up and down the steps.

Today she was wearing a red sleeveless tight-fitting top, with her jacket off and placed to the side, and light blue jeans.

The young girl's delicate and full body was bathed in the warm April sun, her long black hair was casually draped over her shoulders, and her exquisite face was fair and delicate, making her look incredibly alluring.

The moment she saw Jiang Xun, a hint of excitement flashed in the girl's eyes. She bit her lower lip shyly and turned her head away, pretending not to see him coming.

Jiang Xun was dressed casually today, wearing a white polo shirt and gray athletic tapered pants. He looked sunny, handsome, and youthful.

He saw the beautiful and charming girl in front of him, watching her playfully and cutely skipping up and down the steps. The scene was so beautiful that he almost couldn't bear to disturb it.

"Why are you looking at me!" The girl finally couldn't keep up the act anymore, blushing as she glared at him.

Jiang Xun smiled and said, "You look like someone I know."

"Who?" Yang Kaiyi asked curiously.

“Like the mother of my future child,” Jiang Xun said with a light laugh.

"Boring!" Yang Kaiyi said coquettishly, tossing her long hair as she turned her head away, not letting him see her wildly upturned lips and her burning red cheeks.

Just then, as footsteps approached, the boy's tall figure appeared behind her. She stretched out her small feet and scratched at the small stones on the ground, pretending to ignore him.

The next moment, her slender waist was pulled into the boy's arms, and the strong scent of youth made her heart skip a beat.

"Did you miss me?" The boy hugged her from behind, leaned his head on her shoulder, kissed her cheek, and whispered.

"No, not at all," she replied shyly, her voice sweet and ticklish like a cat's paw.
