Doing It Over Again - Chapter 11
Shen Shao had already inquired about this time, but this time, the number of non-local students admitted by the third middle school was only 100, but the number of applicants was several thousand. These students who can sign up for the exam usually have excellent grades, otherwise they will not even meet the conditions for registration.
This is simply picking a marshal among a bunch of generals. Although Shen Shao was mentally prepared, after seeing the large number of troops sent to the school entrance, he was still very emotional. Thousands of troops crossed the single-plank bridge.
There are three subjects in the test, and the test is completed in two days. The first test is English, which makes many people fall into the sand. Shen Shao looked at the complicated vocabulary in the reading questions and sighed. Where is the high school admission test? This is simply a summary of difficult problems in English. It is possible that students who are native English speakers will not be able to get high scores.
After an English test, the faces of many candidates have been covered with a layer of hopeless gray. When taking the physics exam in the afternoon, Shen Shao looked at these exam questions that were comparable to the International Physics League, and gained a new understanding of the perversion of the questions in the third middle school.
When the physics test was over, the candidates who were full of confidence were beaten to the core, and even their voices after leaving the test room became weak.
Shen Shao is very grateful that God has given him a useful brain. Although he can’t guarantee that all the answers are correct when he does the questions, at least he has finished all the questions.
The next morning, the last subject of mathematics was taken. Shen Shao took a look and found that it was a difficult exam question, which had long exceeded the knowledge level of junior high school graduates in school.
After the last math test, some people are happy and some are sad. Shen Shao withdrew from the hotel and drove to Taoxiang District in Furong City. Although Taoxiang District is under the jurisdiction of Furong City, its economy is not developed. Many people work in other districts and counties of Furong City and are not optimistic about the local development.
For example, no one is willing to buy a large bungalow with a yard at the asking price of 30,000 yuan. Those houses covered with fiberglass tiles are even cheaper. Unfortunately, even so, no one is willing to buy a house in such a place.
Shen Shao saw that many places were posted with announcements of houses for sale, and the prices were unbelievably low. If people meet in a few years, they will definitely want to buy ten and eight buildings right away. Even if they leave it alone and do nothing, the land alone can be worth a lot of money.
Therefore, Shen Shao felt that if he didn’t take the opportunity to buy a few houses before the development of Taoxiang District, the house with a large area but a low asking price was a souvenir, and he was simply sorry for this great opportunity.
Shen Shao stayed in Taoxiang District for a few days and looked at several houses. In the end, he spent a total of 110,000 to buy five large bungalows with yards. Although the other advantages are not obvious, the wide area and low asking price are certain.
It is also much easier to obtain real estate documents now than in the future, so Shen Shao quickly completed all the documents. Now the ownership of the house is his own, and even if it is demolished, it has nothing to do with the original owner.
After finishing the affairs in Taoxiang District, when Shen Shao went to No. 3 Middle School to see the results, the results had been posted for two days.
Because the full score of each subject in Physics and English is 100, and the full score of Mathematics is 150, the total score is 350. But in fact, there are very few people who can get more than 260 points in the test, and there are less than ten in total. Therefore, Shen Shao’s 323 points, who topped the list, was particularly conspicuous, like an MT who hates in the game. Anyone who looks at the results will show his results with envy, jealousy and hatred.
“What school is this Shen Shao from? You can get more than 300 points in such a perverted question,” a very strong-looking boy said to the woman beside him in a tone of resignation, “Mom, look, everyone passed the test. In this way, you still think I’m bad in the test.”
“No matter how bad it is, there are still more than 300 people in the test.” The woman wore a big jade bracelet on her hand, and stretched out her hand with two rings to poke the boy’s ear, looking a bit jewel-like, “You are the fortieth in the test. What’s so satisfying about being famous?”
“The second place is only over two hundred and eighty points. You can’t just look at the best one, you have to look at others,” the boy smiled and covered his ears, “Mom, there are still people here, don’t poke Well, at least give me some face.”
The woman looked back and saw Shen Shao standing behind them, calmly withdrew her hand from her son’s ear, smiled at Shen Shao, and made room for Shen Shao to see the results.
Shen Shao didn’t expect that he would be able to take the test so well. He was stunned for a few seconds before he reacted. Then he saw a notice posted under the score sheet. The 41st to 100th place are divided into parallel classes, which is the so-called ordinary class.
“Classmate, how did you do in the test?” The boy smiled when he saw Shen Shao reading the notice below, “The notice above said that you can register from today, I’m going to register and go back to my hometown, you have to follow me Are you going to sign up together?”
“I did well in the test,” Shen Shao was unfamiliar with No. 3 Middle School, so he decided to sign up with the boy, “That’s just right, my hometown has something to do, so it’s just right to sign up now.”
Hearing this, the boy walked to the registration office side by side with Shen Shao, his mother followed behind the two, and the high heels made a bang.
On the way to the registration office, Shen Shao learned that the boy’s name was Zhou Zeyu, who was from Guoshi just like him, but not in the same county.
There were not many people at the registration office in the afternoon. The teacher in charge of registration saw Shen Shao and Zhou Zeyu and said with a smile: “The two students are here to sign up, have you brought all the registration materials?”
Shen Shao and Zhou Zeyu both nodded. After Zhou Zeyu handed in the admission ticket and the membership card, the teacher checked the transcript and smiled and said, “Yes, there are more students who signed up this year than in previous years, and the questions are more difficult than in previous years. The 40th place in the test is very good, which shows that I usually study very hard.”
The registration teacher was in charge of the registration materials, and said: “Originally, we had to wait until the admission notice was issued, and then let you sign up, but considering that some students from other places are still waiting for the results in Furong these days, it is now too hot to take a car. Tossing people, so students who are looking at their grades now, as long as they are sure that their grades are ranked in the top 100, they can apply directly, and the notice will be sent to your home at a later stage.”
After completing the registration, the registration teacher asked Zhou Zeyu to pay the fee, and then said to Shen Shao, “Classmate, where are your registration materials?”
Shen Shao handed the materials from the backpack to the teacher who signed up. The teacher looked at the name and the admission ticket number, and looked at Shen Shao with a lot of eagerness: “Are you Shen Shao?”
Zhou Zeyu, who had already walked to the side, heard this and turned his head suddenly. Is this guy the one who scored more than 300 points in the test? He looks so gentle and easy to talk, it really doesn’t meet the standard of genius in his imagination.
“Ah” Shen Shao glanced left and right, and looked at the registration teacher in confusion: “What, what’s wrong?”
“It’s okay, it’s okay,” the registration teacher quickly registered him, and then took out a form and put it in front of Shen Shao, “Our school has this policy every year, and the top five students in the admission test will be exempted from school. For the miscellaneous fee, please fill out this form.”
“Thank you, teacher,” Shen Shao didn’t expect Furong No. 3 Middle School to have this preferential policy, so he took the form and sat down and filled it out.
“The handwriting is good,” the registered teacher glanced at his handwriting and praised, “Do you like to practice calligraphy at home?”
Shen Shao nodded, and after filling out the form, he politely thanked the teacher. When he turned his head, he saw Zhou Zeyu was looking at him in shock, and he smiled politely at the other party.
“August 31st to report to the school, and the first day of class will officially start,” the registration teacher received the form, and seeing Shen Shao’s well-behaved appearance, he couldn’t help but instructed a few more words, “The school will issue seasonal school uniforms after school starts. It is stipulated that all students must wear school uniforms during school. You students from other places do not need to bring too many coats. Before school starts, it is not convenient to carry too many things by car. “
“Thank you, teacher, I understand.” With a grateful smile at the registration teacher, Shen Shao said goodbye to the teacher, and got up and walked out the door of the registration office.
After he left, the teacher who signed up said to his colleagues, “This score is the highest score in recent years.”
“This year’s questions are a lot more difficult than the previous two years. This kid’s brain is really good,” his colleague also sighed with emotion, looking at Shen Shao and smiling, “It seems that we have done a lot of work in major competitions across the country in recent years. Hope to get good grades.”
The two looked at each other and smiled, but they both knew it was just a joke, and no one took it seriously. After all, an admission test can only prove his current ability. After entering high school, it is not uncommon for them to change from top students to poor students. They should not think too much about things.
Shen Shao walked out of the registration office and stood outside for a few minutes before Zhou Zeyu and his mother came out. Seeing that Shen Shao was still waiting for him, Zhou Zeyu had a smile on his face, and walked to Shen Shao in three or two steps: “I didn’t expect you to be the first genius in this exam.”
Shen Shao smiled humbly and said a few words. He was able to do so many questions only because of his good memory, and he had seen many similar questions in reference books. If it is a real genius, at least three hundred and fifty points can get more than three hundred and forty points, and his level is still far behind.
Zhou Zeyu’s mother and son invited him to go back to Guoshi together, but he declined the invitation because he wanted to find a house near the school, and made an appointment with Zhou Zeyu to meet at the school gate on August 31.
Communication is not particularly convenient now. Although some people have begun to use pagers or mobile phones with less stable signals, for most ordinary people, mobile phones seem to be far away from them.
No one would have thought that in just a few short years in the future, mobile phones would appear in the Huaguo market like mushrooms after a rain, and in the end, almost everyone would have one, making Huaguo the world’s largest mobile phone market.
Shen Shao chose it for several days, and finally rented a small apartment in a neighborhood with good security near the school, with one kitchen, one bathroom, one bedroom, and complete appliances. It was like a small apartment for single white-collar workers. Shen Shao is very satisfied with the security conditions here, but the annual rent is higher.
He has no shortage of money for the time being, so he doesn’t want to wrong himself too much in terms of accommodation. The three years of high school are a very important time in his study career, and he wants to create a good learning environment for himself.
Money can be earned again, but the opportunity to learn knowledge is rare.
With a swipe of a pen, he signed a three-year rental contract and started a new chapter in his life.
