I decided to do as well as I could on the mid-term exam.
The difficulty of this matter was probably equivalent to Brother Chun wanting to dress up more like a girl.
Mathematics, language, English, history, geography, biology, politics, physics, chemistry … That's right, there were a total of nine subjects. Ten fingers were almost not enough to use.
According to common sense, chemistry should only be available in the third year of middle school, but when it was our turn, I don't know what the local education commission did, but they actually printed chemistry textbooks for the second year of middle school. Although it was relatively basic, it still added a lot of burden to the students.
I couldn't count on all the liberal arts.
I couldn't remember the era of history, and I wanted to vomit when I looked at politics. Not to mention English, I couldn't even tell the difference between kiss me and kill me.
Biology, a subject that didn't care about literature and science, could give it a try.
Because I loved to watch Animal World when I was a child, biology books with illustrations were basically extracurricular reading for me. Although there were still a lot of things that needed to be memorized, fortunately, I was interested and inadvertently remembered test points such as "Artiodactyla".
However, it was impossible to turn things around with only half-baked organisms.
My main focus was the three traditional science subjects: mathematics, physics, and chemistry.
Especially physics.
My biggest advantage was that when my dad was a lecturer at the university, he taught "Space Physics".
When I used to live in a compound, my home was full of physics magazines and popular science books, from popular science knowledge for children to the most cutting-edge theoretical physics.
For a little boy who was obsessed with airplanes, cannons, and robots, these illustrated books were very cool.
Especially a few thick and heavy textbooks on the history of the former Soviet Union's science and technology. They actually talked about satellites that could launch laser weapons and nuclear submarines that were built on the premise of destroying all of humanity.
Basically, I read these books as fairy tales. If there was something I didn't understand, I would ask my dad.
Therefore, my physics reserves far exceeded the level of a junior high school student. Concepts such as "binary stars", "white dwarfs", and "black holes" were very strange to junior high school students. If someone was willing to listen to me, I could talk endlessly for a long time without taking a breath in between.
My dad once said that if I could get into the top ten of my class, he would let me pick a random H item from the store. This wasn't an impossible thing.
First of all, there were only 35 people in our class (the original 34 plus Xiao Qin). As long as the top ten performed better than the other two thirds of the class.
Secondly, if the science questions are particularly difficult, my chances will be much higher.
However, my best result so far was still the 17th place. I couldn't go up or down, and many people suspected that I had cheated to get this result.
Only my dad believed that I didn't cheat because he didn't ask me to get good grades. As long as I didn't fight and didn't get hurt, he would be satisfied.
For this midterm exam, I might as well put in a little more effort and do well, giving my dad an unexpected surprise.
It's too cruel for my dad to be ridiculed by Auntie Ren while holding my terrible grades.
After dinner, I told my dad for the first time: I have to study for the exams, if you watch AV, turn down the volume.
My dad was reading the latest issue of Global Science while drinking coffee. When he heard me say that, he raised his head and made an "eh" sound.
"Xiao Lin, did you do something to let me down?"
"No, I didn't! What are you blindly guessing about! I just think that if I never worked hard in school, I might regret it later on! So put in a little bit of effort … If you do well on the midterm exam, wouldn't it be better for you to attend the parent-teacher conference? "
"That's true."
My dad was easily tricked by me and he lowered his head to read the science magazine again.
Poor dad, I hope that when the time comes, my passable grades can withstand Auntie Ren's poisonous tongue.
The midterm exam was scheduled for April 18th, 19th, and 20th. It would be three days in a row, followed by the weekend.
As the exam approached, the learning atmosphere in the class became a bit more intense. The number of times Xiao Qin secretly talked to me in class had decreased, and I could usually see her lowering her head to read more books.
That's right, learning is a student's duty. If they don't study all day and only think about you and me, when will the great goal of the Chinese nation be realized?
If China can't unify the world and Chinese can't become the world's lingua franca, then with my English grades, how can I communicate with the people of the world in the future?
So, in order for me to not have to memorize English in the future, please study hard for the rise of China!
During the self-study class, the speakers who usually spit their saliva everywhere all put away their eloquence. From my position, everyone was in a state of distress.
I asked the class leader for a leave to go to the washroom. In front of the entire class, she only coldly said: "You can go."
When I was about to leave through the back door and passed by the class leader's seat, she didn't even turn around, she only added: "No smoking!"
Who smokes! In order to not damage the respiratory function of my lungs and reach a higher realm of martial arts, I never dared to smoke! The cigarette smell on my body is from people who often smoke in the toilet cubicle. I accidentally got it when I squatted!
It took me a few minutes to solve the problem. When I came out of the washroom with satisfaction, I ran into number one loyal dog glasses bro in the hallway.
He had a serious face, as if he didn't see who was in front of him, and he was thinking with his head down.
After being suppressed in class for a long time, I finally came out to the washroom to relax, but it was still like this. I felt bad for him.
So I raised my hand to greet him:
"Yo, isn't this loyal dog classmate?"
When he raised his head and saw it was me, his face immediately changed and he became aggressive.
"You're the fucking loyal dog! I have a name! "
"Oh, then may I ask your surname loyal dog classmate?"
"My surname is Niu, Niu ShiLi is me!"
To be honest, I kind of regretted provoking him when I couldn't use my left hand.
When I said he was a fierce person before, I didn't just mean that he dared to talk back to me.
This guy was actually quite difficult to deal with.
I said I was the tallest person in the class, right? This statement was a bit exaggerated. If Niu ShiLi wasn't a bit hunchbacked, the crown of the tallest in the class would have belonged to him.
Don't look at him wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses and looking like a good student, but his physique was super strong. If I belonged to the category of congenital deficiencies, but formed a fit body through perseverance and hard work, then he was the type of person with a physique like a cow.
Have you seen Superman? The reporter identity before Superman transformed, Clark Kent, didn't he also have a pair of thick glasses and looked refined, but under the suit, his body was super heaven-defying?
Niu ShiLi had this kind of energy, if we were to just arm-wrestle, I would lose to him 60 to 70 percent of the time.
But in a fight, he couldn't beat me.
There is a saying in the martial arts world: One courage, two strength, three kung fu.
It means that when fighting, courage comes first, strength second, and kung fu and skill third.
For example, ants fighting with elephants, no matter how good your kung fu is, you will still be trampled to death.
But when two ants fight, the ant that knows kung fu will most likely win.
Then the ant's opponent was changed back to the elephant, but this time the elephant was a coward. Before the ant even made a move, it first covered its eyes and fell to the ground, shouting "don't hit my face".
So courage is number one, not only in fighting, but also in many other places.
Niu ShiLi was not a coward, he was one of the good students with a lot of backbone, but he lacked fighting experience. If he really fought with others, he would still be at a disadvantage.
For example, if you throw a punch, someone like me, who knows how to control the weight, can just hit the opponent's eyes, but not hurt the cornea. Niu ShiLi, on the other hand, would be worried that he would blind the opponent, so he would unknowingly bind his hands and feet.
So in my estimation, although Niu ShiLi was stronger than me and Li ErLeng, in a real fight, not to mention me, even Li ErLeng, who did not care about the opponent's life and death, could make him suffer a lot.
But this was just an ordinary fight in a general sense, if it was a life and death fight, the result would be hard to say.
As the number one loyal dog of the class leader Shu Sha, as a good student representative who was not afraid of me, Niu ShiLi had always disliked me.
Since the opening of physics class in the second year, Niu ShiLi and I had a new grudge.
Niu ShiLi, who had never fallen out of the top five in the exams, was the physics class representative of the 2-3 class.
But in the repeated physics exams, especially the recent class quizzes, I always scored one or two points higher than him, making him the second in the class. He could not figure it out and was very depressed about it.
The other students also felt that it was definitely not my own strength for a poor student like me to have such good physics grades. The unanimous opinion was that I copied Niu ShiLi classmate.
The question is, how can I copy it to get a higher score than the person being copied?
I was too lazy to explain it to them. Even if I explained, they would not stand on my side.
Because I did not actively answer questions in physics class, and did not complete my homework well, I only scored particularly high on exams. So everyone thought that I had excellent eyesight and could see Niu ShiLi classmate's papers at a glance.
What kind of logic is that! Other than physics, Niu ShiLi's grades were better than mine in everything. If I could copy it, why wouldn't I copy it all!
Also, Shu Sha is the one with the best eyesight in the class!
Speaking of cheating, a few days ago during the physics class, Xiao Qin was sweating profusely. I felt sorry for her, so I kicked the leg of her desk and hinted that she could copy my answers, but she didn't copy them.
Although my generosity made her very happy, she thought for a long time, and in the end, she shook her head. It seems that although she was grateful for my good intentions, she didn't want to cause trouble for me, and she couldn't forgive herself for dragging me down.
When the results came out, Xiao Qin was the only one in the class who failed and was scolded by the teacher.
What a stubborn person! I was on the left, and Niu ShiLi was on the right. You were sandwiched between the two students with the highest physics scores in the class, and you still failed!?
"Hey, I won't lose to you again in this midterm exam!"
Niu ShiLi solemnly announced to me with a serious face.
I wanted to laugh, but I didn't laugh.
Does Niu ShiLi not suspect that I cheated to get that kind of score? It sounds like two martial arts experts are going to fight it out in a fair and square manner.
Although it's childish, I'll still respond to your challenge.
"Okay, let's work hard."
If the two of us do our best in the physics exam, we can at least contribute to the average score of the class.
Teacher Yu not only couldn't control the students, but he was also bullied in the staff office. He was ridiculed in every way because of class 2-3's misdeeds.
If the average score of the class could get rid of the fate of being last place, it should give teacher Yu some breathing room. As the class leader, Shu Sha would also feel gratified, right?
Of course, I was only fantasizing about it. Now that there's a new recruit in the class, Xiao Qin. She's good in liberal arts, but terrible in science, she might drag the class down like me.
Reluctantly, before the exam, I used the break time between classes to give her some tutoring, especially physics.
After all, we're childhood friends, so it should be normal, right?
When Xiao Qin listened to me talk about the chapter on gravity, she actually teared up when I drew a gravity diagram on a piece of paper.
"Ye Lin classmate, although I don't understand at all, I'm too moved ~ ~ ~ ~"
What's there to be moved about! On the other hand, you can't even understand such a simple question. As a student, you should be crying in shame!
