In the blink of an eye, it was already late September. It seemed to be an autumn rain. The next day, the weather in Jiangcheng had already become cool. Yang Yi was already prepared. He called over Xi Xi, who was actively putting on her socks, and asked her to put on the little suit jacket of her school uniform.
"Papa, there's a bow here!" Xi Xi grabbed a red ribbon and asked her father to tie it to her collar. Yang Yi had tried to put it on her once before, but the little girl was obsessed with it. She thought it would look better this way, so she wore it every day.
However, Yang Yi liked Xi Xi's little black suit jacket more. After putting it on, the little girl looked extraordinarily beautiful and elegant! Of course, if she didn't let her two little hands sway by her side like a duckling, her temperament would have been more gentle and quiet!
"Xi Xi, I heard from papa that you have an exam today, right?" Murphy asked her daughter with concern as she sat on the sofa and pressed Tong Tong's little butt with one hand to prevent him from crawling away.
"Yes, we have an exam!" Xi Xi just remembered. She scratched her head and said in a daze.
It was a unit test. However, the little girl obviously didn't have any special reaction to the exam. She even related the exam to her interview at Huijia Primary School and felt that it should be something as simple as that.
Before she tried the "exam", Xi Xi was very nervous and flustered. However, after she tried it, Xi Xi wasn't afraid anymore!
Was the exam just chatting with the teacher?
What was so difficult about that?
Moreover, Xi Xi didn't have the concept of exam results. She felt that exams were just exams, and the results didn't seem to have much of an impact.
This might also have something to do with the special way Yang Yi and Murphy taught Xi Xi. They never talked about the importance of exam results in front of Xi Xi! Even though Xixi had achieved very good results in the interview and received a very high evaluation from the invigilator, Yang Yi only played it down. At most, he simply praised her with a few words.
Now that her mother had mentioned it, Xixi, who was skipping to school to play with her friends, finally thought of the exam. Of course, she didn't become anxious.
"Then you have to work hard today!" Murphy raised a palm and smiled. "Come on, give me five. Mom wishes you success!"
"Hee hee!" Xi Xi smiled and ran over in her pink slippers. She reached out and patted her mother's palm. After her small hand clapped with her big hand, she asked happily, "Mom, what do you mean by success?"
"Oh … You have to ask your father about that!" Murphy was embarrassed. She only knew how to use those idioms, but she didn't know how to explain them.
…
Nervousness was actually contagious. Although Xi Xi didn't take the exam seriously at home, when she arrived at school, Xi Xi noticed that her classmates were a little uncomfortable. She couldn't help but become a little nervous.
Lu Xiaoyu frowned worriedly. Usually, when the two girls met, they would talk about a lot of things. However, today, she sat there holding a pen and didn't seem to be in the mood to talk.
"Little Yu 'er, why are you unhappy?" Xi Xi tilted her head and asked with concern.
"Because there's an exam today!" It turned out that Lu Xiaoyu wasn't in the mood to talk. She was just too nervous. Now that Xi Xi had started, she finally found an outlet to vent her emotions. "Xi Xi, I'm scared!"
"Aiya, what are you scared of?" Xi Xi asked, puzzled.
"I'm scared that if I don't do well in the exam, my father will be angry." Lu Xiaoyu pursed her lips and said softly, "He, he will say, 'Little Yu' er, you don't study hard and don't do well in the exam. Then, then, then he won't let me watch TV! '"
"He won't let you watch TV?" Xi Xi looked at her little friend in surprise.
"That's right, he used to be like this!" Lu Xiaoyu pouted and nodded her head vigorously.
Lu Xiaoyu's kindergarten education in the past did have exams. Therefore, Lu Xiaoyu had a deeper understanding of these things. When it came to exams, she became nervous.
Xi Xi looked at her little friend with concern. After a while, she thought of herself.
If she didn't do well in the exam, would her father not let her watch TV?
If that was the case, not being able to watch TV would be terrible!
The little girl couldn't help but feel a little nervous. She sat in her seat and let her imagination run wild.
After the morning reading class, Liu Xuanxuan walked into the classroom with a stack of test papers. Xi Xi looked at Teacher Liu on the podium, who was calling for the group leaders of each group to come up and help distribute the test papers. This sense of urgency in her heart became more and more obvious.
As a teacher, Liu Xuanxuan was relatively patient. She knew that many of the children were taking the exam for the first time. Therefore, she spent a long time explaining the process of the exam to them. In the end, she looked at the children below the podium, whose faces were tense. She smiled and said, "Students, this is just a small unit test. These are all very simple questions. Don't be nervous!"
"I, I, I don't want to take the exam …" Xi Xi heard Wang Leilei not far from the seat in front of her. He was muttering in grievance. His eyes were red, as if he had been crying.
Xi Xi was in a trance. It was as if she had returned to the day of the entrance exam. Many of her little friends were also crying.
However, today was not so bad. Perhaps it was because they had grown up. Most of the students were just nervous. For example, Lan Xin was obviously much calmer. She didn't have the thought of crying like before.
After the test papers were distributed, Teacher Liu Xuanxuan stood on the podium and read the questions to the children (afraid that they couldn't understand the words). Xi Xi also followed the teacher's reading and skimmed through the test paper in advance.
Eh, it didn't seem difficult!
There weren't many questions on the test paper. There were eight major questions and one additional question.
Basically, all of the questions were related to counting. For example, the first big question was to show a picture and ask the children to count the number of apples, bunnies, flowers, birds, goldfish, and so on. Then, fill in the corresponding numbers in the brackets behind the picture below.
After all, Xi Xi and the others had only learned counting in the first unit. It hadn't been expanded to add, subtract, multiply, and divide.
However, don't underestimate counting. This seemingly simple knowledge point could be given different difficulties and different logic by the teacher who came up with the questions!
For example, the first few questions were simple counting and filling in the blanks. Later on, there were connecting questions — connecting different pictures with the same number together. There were also logical judgment questions and so on.
The most difficult one was the additional question. It gave a picture of a boy, a girl, and different amounts of water left in the same cup next to them. The question was, the boy and the girl drank the same amount of water in a cup. With so much water left, who drank the most water just now?
In the eyes of adults, this question should be very simple. As long as they understood the question correctly, they could solve it. However, for children who didn't know how to turn their brains, this question was a bit complicated. If they couldn't turn their brains around, many children might subconsciously choose the boy with the most water in the cup!
However, these questions weren't difficult for Xi Xi and Lan Xin. These two girls, although they didn't learn too profound mathematical formulas when they were in Springfield Kindergarten, under the guidance of the teacher, their logical thinking ability was trained and their brains turned faster.
After Teacher Liu Xuanxuan read the questions and finished reading the additional questions, Xi Xi thought of the answer.
"Hehe, I know how to do it! I'll tell you. It's because Lili didn't have much water left. That's why Lili drank a lot. That's why she had so little water left! "The little girl looked at the test paper and happily said to Lu Xiaoyu who was next to her.
Lu Xiaoyu looked at her deskmate in confusion. She didn't know if she still couldn't understand the solution Xi Xi told her or if she was confused by Xi Xi's "operation" … Could she tell others the answer?
No, but Xi Xi didn't know anything about exam discipline …
But coincidentally, Liu Xuanxuan was standing not far from Xi Xi's row.
