The news that Xu Shiyan had obtained the technical appraisal from the province soon spread around the field. Those colleagues who got along well with Xu Shiyan were all calling for Xu Shiyan to treat him.
So everyone took a day off, and Xu Shiyan called his colleagues to his home. Su Anying led the two sisters to prepare two banquets to entertain the guests.
The weather is getting colder and colder, and the winter solstice has passed in the blink of an eye. Xu Haiyuan, a first-year student, is facing the final exam.
"I Have a Picture Book of Ghosts and Gods"
The two subjects of Chinese and Mathematics were easily passed.
Then, with the help of the senior brothers, the stove in the classroom was dismantled.
In these days, primary schools used stoves for heating in winter. In autumn, each student handed in two feet of firewood, which was enough to burn the stove until the end of the school year.
When school starts on March 1 next year, there will be no need to burn the stove.
Therefore, every winter vacation, the stove will be dismantled, and the stove lid and stove tube will be placed in the students' homes for safekeeping to prevent them from being stolen in the school.
Most of the stove lids are placed in the homes of classmates closest to the school.
Among Xu Haiyuan's classes, his home is the closest to the school.
Therefore, after the exam, the teacher explained the time to listen to the results and assigned holiday homework.
Then several strong classmates lifted or carried the stove tube and lid, and placed them all on Xu Chenghou's end.
"Grandpa, this is something from our school. Put it in the warehouse and keep it safe." Xu Haiyuan told Xu Chenghou.
"Oh, okay, okay, don't worry, I've put it in the warehouse so you can't throw it away."
Xu Chenghou nodded quickly and put the things away.
These are made of iron and cannot be placed against the floor as they are prone to rust, so they must be placed on a shelf.
"Xu Haiyuan, let's go. I'll come and play with you when I have time."
The students put away their things and waved goodbye to Xu Haiyuan one by one. It had just been a holiday, and the children's hearts were all wild.
Xu Haiyuan waved and watched his classmates leave, turned around and went back to the room, immediately took out his homework book and started writing his holiday homework.
Xu Chenghou put down the stove lid and stove barrel and returned to the house. He saw his grandson sitting in front of the small desk, writing meticulously.
"Isn't it a holiday? Why are you still doing homework?" The old man felt strange and asked.
"Our teacher has given us homework, which is a grid every day. I'll finish the two days' work first and then talk about it."
Xu Haiyuan wrote seriously and answered his grandfather's questions without raising his head.
"When I return to school in three days, the teacher will announce the test results and there will be homework.
If I finish writing it earlier, I can have a few more days of fun during the Chinese New Year."
"Oh, that's okay, you can write it if you want." Xu Chenghou nodded and said nothing more.
Xu Haiyuan never lets others worry about his studies. He has plans of his own, so he should stay away from it and don't disturb his children.
Xu Haiyuan wrote three assignments in one breath, and then stopped. On the second day of the holiday, he did nothing and just did his homework at home.
After writing for three days in a row, it’s time to go back to school to hear the results.
At eight o'clock in the morning on December 27, Xu Haiyuan returned to school with Huang Shuqing, carrying a small schoolbag.
As for Xu Jinping, Huang Shuyun, Sun Yu and others, the Yuhong Class has already been on holiday. These little kids have nothing to do and just play together all day long.
Xu Haiyuan and Huang Shuqing were not in the same class. When they arrived at school, they went back to their respective classes.
The stove has been turned off, and it's freezing cold in the class.
The teacher didn't say much, just handed out the papers and read them out for the class list.
Then, homework was assigned to the children based on their test scores, and they were done when they returned to school. Those with good grades had less homework, while those with poor grades had to write a lot of homework.
The children with good grades walked back happily, while the children with poor grades had a sad face and didn't know how to explain it to their families.
Xu Haiyuan returned to his grandparents with his schoolbag on his back. As soon as he entered the door, Zhou Guilan smiled and asked, "Hey, my eldest grandson is back? How is it? How many points did he score?"
The old lady asked casually, no matter how many points the child scores in the test, in the hearts of the grandparents, as long as the child is healthy, that's all.
Xu Haiyuan went to primary school at the age of six. It is enough that he can keep up and not fall behind. There is not much required.
"Double hundred, the paper is so easy, why are you still losing points?"
With a calm look on his face, Xu Haiyuan took out the paper from his school bag and sent it to his grandparents.
Xu Chenghou and Zhou Guilan are both illiterate, but they still know the hundred.
Besides, there are red check marks all over the article, not a single cross, so I guess it’s a perfect score.
"Hey you, my eldest grandson is so awesome, he got double hundred in the exam.
Okay, let’s make dumplings this afternoon. My eldest grandson has worked hard at school and wants to eat something good."
Zhou Guilan was very happy and immediately decided to make dumplings to eat in the afternoon.
"Yes, yes, make dumplings. My eldest grandson did so well in the exam, I must eat dumplings to celebrate." Xu Chenghou also agreed.
It made Xu Haiyuan look embarrassed. How difficult can the first grade exam be?
He just got perfect marks in the exam. Are his grandparents so happy?
"No need, right? I think I just ate it a few days ago."
That's right, the night Xu Shiyan got his certificate back, he also made dumplings to celebrate. Only a week later, he had to make dumplings again.
"Can it be the same? When your brothers were in first grade, they didn't hear that they came back with double hundred exams.
My eldest grandson is so promising that he must make dumplings." Xu Chenghou didn't care about that, he put on his shoes and went to the field to buy meat.
Zhou Guilan, on her side, began to think about what kind of dumplings to make in the afternoon.
The sauerkraut stuffing last time should be stuffed with cabbage this time. The cabbage was all in the cellar. Zhou Guilan hurried to the cellar to get the cabbage.
Only Xu Haiyuan was left, looking at the paper with a confused expression, this, there really is no need to celebrate, okay?
Xu Haiyuan's objections were ineffective, so in the afternoon Zhou Guilan led sisters Su Anfang and Xu Shiqin, who were recuperating at home, to make dumplings together.
Waiting for Su Anying and Xu Shiyan to come back, the couple were a little confused. This was not the first time of the year. New Year's Day was still a few days away. Why were they making dumplings again?
When he learned that his parents were celebrating Xu Haiyuan's double hundred, Xu Shiyan also looked helpless.
This old couple is too spoiled for their children, right? Is it worth making dumplings to celebrate with such a big fanfare if they get double hundred in the first grade exam?
"Son, how many people in your class have passed the double hundred test?"
Xu Haiyuan got a perfect score. Even if he was tied, he would still be considered first. So Xu Shiyan didn't ask about the ranking. He only asked how many people in the class had scored double scores.
Xu Haiyuan tilted his head and thought for a while, then pursed his lips and shook his head.
"No, some people have a hundred in mathematics, and some people have a hundred in Chinese. I am the only one who has a double hundred."
"Oh, then you did pretty well in the exam. OK, keep it up. I hope you can always have this score."
Xu Shiyan nodded, it seemed that his son had indeed learned well.
"By the way, how many points did your brother Shuqing get in the exam?" Xu Shiyan asked casually.
"I don't know. I asked him, but he refused to tell." Xu Haiyuan shook his head.
"I guess it's not very good, otherwise he would definitely show off to me."
Okay, what is there that you don’t understand about this? That kid Huang Shuqing definitely didn’t do well in the exam.
I don’t know if Huang Shengli would get angry and slap his son when he looked at his son’s exam papers.
