The Fiery Era: Starting from Longxugou

In the office, the teachers were shocked when they saw the compiled results. They were all surprised that Zhao Shi'an had such good grades in just the first year of high school, and they all congratulated Hu Chengzhi.

"Haha! I wish I could, but it's a pity he's skipping a grade. Once he's in his senior year, his new homeroom teacher will definitely mentor him!"

Hearing everyone's congratulations, Hu Chengzhi was very happy, but when he thought about how Zhao Shi'an's grades meant he could go straight to the senior year of high school, he realized that even if he wanted to nurture him properly, he wouldn't have the chance.

"That's true. I remember last year's college entrance exam, quite a few students who barely scored 400 went to university. If the new homeroom teacher knew about Zhao Shi'an's grades, he would definitely mentor him!"

"Mr. Hu, your student is amazing! He's only in his first year of high school and he's already scored almost 500 points! There are still over four months until the college entrance exam. With proper guidance, he's sure to get even better results!"

Upon seeing the results, Li Shuting immediately felt a desire to nurture talent.

"Xiao Li is right! Lao Hu, your student is already so amazing in the first year of high school. If he hadn't skipped a grade and had studied for two more years, he would definitely have made a name for himself in the college entrance examination!"

Our school will also benefit from this!

"Hey! Teacher Zhang is wrong. Since the student wants to skip a grade and has the ability, we should give him our full support!"

The country needs talent right now, and every extra person adds to the strength. Besides, Professor Hu's student is very talented. If he goes to university early and learns skills, he might be able to play an even greater role!

"Teacher Li is right! The principal has always felt that the current talent cultivation system is a bit too cumbersome. We should give full support to students who excel in their studies!"

As for these empty titles? We don't need them. From its very inception, our No. 11 Middle School has been recruiting children from the working people on both sides of Longxu Ditch. Geniuses and talents are not what we seek!

Upon hearing this, some people raised objections, saying that students' futures should not be ruined for the sake of so-called empty fame!

"Haha! You flatter me! After class, I'll have a good talk with Zhao Shi'an first!"

Hu Chengzhi was very happy to hear this. Although he felt a little regretful that he could not continue to train Zhao Shi'an, he thought that he had only trained him for a little over half a year. Zhao Shi'an's achievements were all due to his own abilities. He was just a guide for such a talented student.

It's regrettable that we can't continue to nurture Zhao Shi'an, but if he can get into a good university, it will be a great encouragement and motivation for the students in the class. Such a real-life example will greatly stimulate the students' enthusiasm, and the whole class's grades will improve significantly. He will definitely give himself a big surprise when he takes the college entrance examination.

With this in mind, Hu Chengzhi immediately calmed down a lot.

"That's true! But I'm afraid this student isn't as capable as we think!"

Although the college entrance examination paper was done well.

These are probably questions that teachers have used to give their students practice during class, right?

Many college entrance examination questions have been published in major newspapers such as the People's Daily and the Beijing Daily.

If he has real talent and ability, that would be great, but I'm afraid...

Zhang Shouzhou was somewhat displeased after being humiliated by his colleagues, and he implied that the students taking the test might have done the relevant questions in advance.

"Teacher Zhang's words make a lot of sense! Our school's student body has never been very good, not as good as the students in the city."

Take the Russian I teach, for example. In our school, most students don't do very well in Russian!

Zhao Shi'an's highest score in Russian was only 42, while his other subjects were quite good. It's quite possible he had practiced related college entrance exam questions beforehand.

"This is indeed a problem, Mr. Hu. You really need to understand this carefully. Besides, everyone knows the difference between skipping a grade from the first year of high school to the third year. You must figure this out and not let the student go astray!"

"Don't worry, everyone. I know what I'm doing. I'll find out more after class!"

If he continues to skip grades, I will ask his teachers to create a test covering all high school material, and then decide what to do based on his level of understanding!

Hearing his colleagues' words, Hu Chengzhi also began to waver. Every year during the college entrance examination, the cultural and educational circles pay special attention, and major newspapers publish some well-designed exam questions. In addition, the college entrance examination papers that are purchased already contain answers. Considering that Zhao Shi'an has only been in high school for a little over half a year, it is hard not to make people think too much!

It would be best to verify again to confirm whether Zhao Shi'an truly possesses genuine talent and ability.

"This is a good idea! Students have done college entrance exam questions to some extent, so it's normal for their scores to be inaccurate. By creating new questions, we can eliminate this risk and properly test the students' abilities!"

"Great idea! Professor Hu, I'll help you come up with some Russian questions!"

Upon hearing this, Li Shuting immediately volunteered.

"Hey! Teacher Li, there's no need to issue a Russian language test paper, is there? Zhao Shi'an only scored 42 points on his two sets of college entrance exam papers, so it doesn't really matter whether we issue one or not!"

"We don't need to cover political common sense and Chinese language; let's just look at the other five!"

Hu Chengzhi politely declined. If it were any other subject, there would be no problem, but Zhao Shi'an's two Russian test papers scored 42 and 38 points respectively, which was the same as most students in the school. There was no need to waste time making test papers for him.

Similarly, the same applies to general knowledge of Chinese language and politics. The former is one's native language, so even if one doesn't learn it well, one can still get a score of 60 or 70.

The latter assesses a person's political awareness. Unless they are anti-government or bad elements, their scores will not be lower than 70. Scoring 80 is normal, and scores above 90 are much rarer. Getting a perfect score is practically impossible.

The students at No. 11 Middle School may have poor Russian, but none of them scored below 80 in the subject of political common sense.

Before liberation, most students couldn't even get enough to eat, let alone go to school. They only had the opportunity to go to school after liberation. It can be said that the working masses were the foundation of the regime's stability!

Students genuinely support and love their country, so their scores on political knowledge will naturally be good!

"Haha! Teacher Hu is right! Shuting, let's not get involved."

"Oh! I was just thinking of giving Zhao Shi'an a proper Russian lesson!"

If he truly has that ability, as long as his Russian language skills improve, his college entrance exam scores will definitely be better, and he'll be able to get into a good university!

Li Shuting sighed, her voice filled with disappointment.

"Teacher Li, there's no rush. Let's see Zhao Shi'an's reaction first. If he agrees, we can add the missing parts after it's approved!"

Hu Chengzhi laughed.

"Old Hu is right, let's hear what the students have to say first!"

"good!"

The teachers all agreed. After reaching a consensus, they chatted with Zhao Shi'an for a while. When the bell rang, Hu Chengzhi asked a passing student to go to the classroom and call Zhao Shi'an.

Upon receiving the news, Zhao Shi'an put down his book and immediately ran to the office.

Upon arriving at the door, Zhao Shi'an knocked and entered. Seeing the homeroom teacher, he quickly asked:

"Teacher, is there a result?"

"Don't worry! I've looked at your college entrance exam paper, and you did a really good job!"

If you can get a score like this in the college entrance examination, getting into university will definitely not be a problem.

However, as you know, the college entrance examination receives a lot of attention. After each college entrance examination, major newspapers will publish representative question types from the exam. If you read newspapers regularly, you will find this information.

To avoid this situation, the teacher wants you to do a few more practice tests to see your true level. If you truly master most of the high school material, the teacher naturally won't stop you; on the contrary, they will support you skipping a grade!

Hu Chengzhi first encouraged Zhao Shi'an, then proposed the idea of ​​re-testing him, believing that a truly capable person would not resist such a test.

"Teacher, are you worried that I did some college entrance exam questions in advance?"

True gold fears no fire! You can give me a few senior high school exam papers to work on.

If you're still not comfortable with that, you can give me the problem yourself, and I'll solve it in front of you. Is that alright?

Upon hearing this, Zhao Shi'an immediately understood. He realized that the homeroom teacher was afraid that Zhao Shi'an had seen the answers to the college entrance examination in advance, which was why he had achieved his current grades.

After understanding the teacher's concerns, he immediately suggested that he could take a test on the spot to prove his abilities!
