Chapter 37: Together
The division will be held after the end of the semester, but that doesn't stop the early enthusiasm of the students.
The division of subjects is definitely a good thing for students who are biased, but there are also those who are particularly annoyed by it, such as those who are similar in arts and sciences, and those who have special reasons, such as Song Yao, who scores significantly better in arts than in sciences, but by applying for arts, she must not be put in the same class as Chen Yaoyang.
She could ask her family to find a way to be in Chen Yaoyang's class, but after the division, even if her family was more powerful, she couldn't, unless she studied science, because Chen Yaoyang didn't even think about studying literature.
But if she does study science, there's a good chance she won't be able to keep up, after all, Chen Yaoyang's chances of getting into the top class are very good.
After the second year of high school, the second year of high school reorganization classes, a total of 36 classes, a class to ten classes are liberal arts classes, eleven classes to thirty-six classes are science classes. In these thirty-six classes there are a total of three top classes, one in the arts and two in science, respectively, eight classes, eighteen classes, twenty-eight classes, probably the school is also a bit superstitious, think that the number eight is more auspicious.
The best students in each class in the first year of high school finally formed the top class, the best students and the best teachers to ensure that two years later the high school entrance examination on-line rate can reach more than 99%, this kind of data is very helpful to the school enrollment.
Song Yao could rely on her liberal arts grades to get into the top 50 in her senior year, but without the support of the liberal arts, if she really got into the top science class, she didn't know where she would be.
So even though Song Yao loves Chen Yaoyang as much as he does, he still doesn't dare to be so in love with his brain.
Some people in the class were so bald with worry over the division that they ran to the restroom every day after class to call their parents to talk about it, and everyone's mouth was full of the division.
Qiao Lan asked Tan Mo what she wanted to study after she had almost made up her mind.
Tan Mo doesn't really care about arts and sciences, he never listens in class, but if he had to choose one, it would be in favor of science.
Now Qiao Lan asks him, but Tan Mo doesn't answer, and he wisely thinks that Qiao Lan should answer this question first.
What if he had said that Qiao Lan wanted to study science and what if he wanted to study literature? Although he could have changed his mind, Tan Mo felt that it would not be a good idea, even though Tan Mo did not understand why it would not be a good idea.
He didn't answer but Qiao Lan, "You do."
Qiao Lan held a pen in her fingers and scratched it twice in her book, saying, "Study science."
"I'll take Ree, too," Tan Mo replied quickly this time.
Qiao Lan put down the scratching pen in her hand, the corners of her lips rising briskly, "I also think you're suitable for studying science."
Although Tan Mo is said to be very good in both arts and sciences, what definitely stands out the most is his sharp logical thinking ability, he will be that much better than the next person in arts because he reads a lot, but he can totally rely on his IQ to be too much better than the next person in science.
Moreover, Qiao Lan had studied literature before, and learned that the liberal arts are not the so-called rote memorization, the later the subjective thinking will be more and more topics, especially history, Tan Mo in the expression of subjective views of this aspect does not have an advantage.
As for Qiao Lan, Qiao Lan originally wanted to study literature, after all, she had studied it before, and her sophomore and junior years would have been easier if she had continued to study literature, but that was not her personality.
Once Qiao Lan University to study is a finance major, although this major both admission of liberal arts students and science students, but when you really start to learn the profession, it is always the science students more advantageous. In the two years of high school, the science students have more than the liberal arts students not only a little higher difficulty in math, but also a long time to improve the ability of logical thinking.
Qiao Lan studied finance for more than a year, or quite like this major, if no accident may continue to enroll in the university of finance, and now to start again, the study of science is nothing bad, and then again, the physics that used to worry him the most, is not enough to make her afraid.
Her and Tan Mo's grades should not be a problem for them to enter the top class. The school has three top classes, and Qiao Lan can now confirm that Tan Mo's chances of getting into the 18th class will be more than 95%.
The reason is quite simple, the teaching building of the attached middle school, each building has five floors, four classes per floor, so the classroom of the eighteenth class is on the first floor, while the twenty-eighth class is on the fourth floor, the school will still take into account the special characteristics of the students.
Qiao Lan wrote a big eighteen on her notebook, hoping that she would be assigned to the eighteenth class as well.
The last final exams are approaching, and the homeroom teacher privately approached Qiao Lan and told her that she must do her best to take the exams, and that if she could hold on to the top three positions in her age group this time, she would be able to get the school's second class scholarship, which is 3,000 yuan.
Qiao Lan has known about the scholarship since the last semester, and has been prepared to take the 3,000 RMB without the class teacher's advice. 3,000 RMB is equal to half a year's living expenses for her.
However, remembering her determination to win the first prize, Qiao Lan couldn't hold back a smile and continued to study hard.
This final was a little different than last semester, there were close friends who were going to be separated soon, some emotional girls who came back to the classroom and cried for a while after the exams, and the boys who were mostly still playing around.
When the results came out, everyone's curiosity about the results was much lighter than usual, Qiao Lan looked up and casually glanced at them, only to freeze when he saw the rankings, and then raised his head again to take a second look.
She was right, this final exam, the highest score in the class wasn't Tan Mo, it was her.
Qiao Lan hurriedly tapped on the campus network with her cell phone and pulled up the transcript, staring at the name on it and confirming it several times before she was sure she was right.
He's number one in his class, pulls down, and Tan Mo actually drops to third in his class this time.
How is that possible?
Tan Mo scored perfect marks in math and other subjects that she was good at, and the history and geography that followed were higher than hers, but by the end of the day, Qiao Lan understood everything.
Language, zero.
Qiao Lan didn't have time to marvel at the horror of Tan Mo's third place even with a zero in language; she clearly remembered that Tan Mo had entered the examination room on the day of the language test, so it wasn't an absence.
Qiao Lan pinched her cell phone tightly, turned her head and her gaze fell on Tan Mo's face, the teenager's delicate and good-looking face was looking right at her, watching Qiao Lan look over as if she didn't expect to be caught so off guard, her expressionless look was broken by panic, there was a little bit of a slight shattering.
Qiao Lan took a deep breath, "Tan Mo, did you turn in a blank paper?"
The teenager's light brown eyes quivered and he sidestepped, "... Wasn't feeling well that day."
There was clearly not a trace of expression, but the lie was so obvious that it was the same as a small child who thought he was performing flawlessly.
Then Qiao Lan stopped talking.
Tan Mo is most afraid of this kind of atmosphere.
He couldn't read the other man's expression, couldn't read his body movements, and as long as he didn't speak, he was in a daze.
He thought of this method when his homeroom teacher talked about it, although he still can't figure out the reason why Qiao Lan didn't want him to spend money in the first place, but he also vaguely understands that he can add a little bit more to the card that Qiao Lan gave him through other ways.
But he's worried that Qiao Lan will be just as angry as he was when he first met her, and while the two things are not the same, they have something in common.
Qiao Lan now does not speak, Tan Mo simply can not guess what she is thinking, Qiao Lan does not say Tan Mo suddenly thought a whole lot, is she angry again, is she going to ignore him again ......
Before he could think of anything else, Qiao Lan's familiar voice entered Tan Mo's ears.
Qiao Lan said to him, "Thank you."
Since Qiao Lan can tell when Tan Mo is lying clumsily, she's not so dumb that she can't figure out why Tan Mo is doing it.
Want to make it clear to Tan Mo like last time and upset both of them?
Qiao Lan thinks that people should always know what's good for them.
There are people in this world who are good to you and are willing to go out of their way to be good to you in this way, so don't care about things that sporadically ruin the mood.
Tan Mo didn't do all this so she could blame him in turn.
Qiao Lan himself to do, not to pursue Tan Mo so what is wrong, but know grateful, and then think about what should be done to Tan Mo better, do not let the teenager to pay a piece of goodwill can not get a little echo.
Qiao Lan clicked on the grade rankings, and because of Tan Mo's backing off, he's back at the top of the grade.
At the end of the last semester, Tan Mo took half of the language test because she was in a hurry to get to the U.S. Although Tan Mo took first place that time, her total score was less than ten points higher than Qiao Lan's. This time Tan Mo scored zero in language, and Qiao Lan scored much higher than Tan Mo.
With the total points added up, Qiao Lan is higher than Tan Mo, and the first class scholarship for the senior class has been firmly in Qiao Lan's hands.
"Tan Mo", Qiao Lan suddenly turned her head and Tan Mo said, "The first class scholarship costs five thousand dollars, when I get the money, let's go out to eat together, I'll think about what's better to eat, do you have anything you want to eat but have never eaten, I'll go to play with you after the vacation. We'll hide it from Uncle Chen and go together, you like sweets, we can go..."
Qiao Lan said a lot of places and things in one breath, Tan Mo looked at her silently with his face sideways, and after a long time said, "Can we go to all of them."
It's so hard to choose, Tan Mo thought, if he had Qiao Lan with him, every place, every good food, he would like to try.
"All of them", Qiao Lan pretended to think about it, "All of them are fine, I'm a little rich now."
The two of them talk excitedly about their summer vacation plans. Tan Mo asks Qiao Lan what she's going to do for the summer, and Qiao Lan says she'll probably get a job and earn some money.
Tan Mo was silent for a while, probably wanting to say something, but in the end did not say anything, just with Qiao Lan Road, said that we agreed to go out to eat together, and afraid that she forgot her home address, wrote out the address and sent it to Qiao Lan.
The unknown students in the class glanced more toward the two of them and whispered.
"Tan Mo, I saw him take the test the other day, how come he got a zero in language?"
"I don't know, geniuses think in ways we don't understand."
"Doesn't our school have a scholarship program, so isn't the Tan Mo scholarship out of the question?"
"Have you seen the car that picks up Tan Mo every day? Does Tan Mo look like he cares about that kind of money?"
"What about five thousand well, I want it too..."
No one could guess the truth, only Pei Ning, who had a very good relationship with Qiao Lan, and Chen Yaoyang, who was extraordinarily smart and liked to pay attention to Qiao Lan recently, seemed to have guessed something, but they didn't say anything.
The first year of high school life in the students reluctant to say goodbye in the end, ushered in a long 50 days of summer vacation life.
Qiao Lan is going to start wondering what to do with her summer vacation again.
During the vacation period, the school does not allow students to live in the school, and Qiao Lan does not want to go back to Qiao's family. Qiao Lan is wondering whether she should rent an apartment or find a job that allows her to earn more money, but Uncle Chen suddenly calls Qiao Lan.
Tan Mo, if she was looking for Qiao Lan, usually used her cell phone number to contact her. Uncle Chen called Qiao Lan, so it was Uncle Chen who was looking for her.
It was the first day of vacation and the school allowed students to stay in the dormitory for three more days. Qiao Lan was shopping in the dormitory with her cell phone when Uncle Chen called and Qiao Lan quickly went downstairs.
I don't know how Uncle Chen came in. Uncle Chen smiled and invited her to get into the car. Qiao Lan looked into the car and didn't see Tan Mo.
Generally, people don't think that the relationship between children and their parents would be so rigid, Qiao Lan didn't tell Tan Mo that she wouldn't be coming home for the summer vacation, and there was no need for Tan Mo to know about these bad things to make him feel bad too.
But Qiao Lan could not hide it from Tan Mo, but not from Uncle Chen, who had lived half a lifetime, and was a much more penetrating judge of people and things.
Qiao Lan can move out of the house to live in school, it can be seen that the relationship between Qiao Lan and her parents has been poor to the point of no repair, the end of the first year of high school, Uncle Chen sometimes ask Tan Mo, from Tan Mo's words, Qiao Lan live in the school after Qiao Lan's parents seem to have never cared about Qiao Lan.
So Uncle Chen guesses that Qiao Lan probably won't go home now that it's summer vacation.
He called Qiao Lan's homeroom teacher and confirmed that Qiao Lan hadn't left school yet, so he called her the next day to find her.
Having known Uncle Chen for more than half a year, Qiao Lan is quite familiar with and grateful to Uncle Chen. After casually chatting for a few sentences, Qiao Lan asked Uncle Chen what he was looking for her for, and after frowning for a long time, Uncle Chen opened his mouth with some difficulty.
"There is such a thing."
Uncle Chen said that Aunt Chen's mother's family had something to do, suddenly went back to her mother's home, and did not know what when to come back, Uncle Chen originally wanted to find someone to take care of Tan Mo, but Tan Mo is too repulsive to outsiders, so this is very difficult to do.
That's why Qiao Lan came to mind.
"Lanlan you and young master are friends and classmates, it would have been a bit much to ask you for this kind of thing, but apart from us old folks, you're the only one he can talk to more."
Qiao Lan didn't agree.
The main reason she didn't say yes was because she was afraid that this was Uncle Chen and Tan Mo thinking that she had no place to go and wanted to take care of her, so they came up with this idea.
After all, Tan Mo would intentionally test low and give her the scholarship, Uncle Chen's level was much higher than Tan Mo's, Qiao Lan didn't really know if what Uncle Chen said was true or not for a while.
Taking advantage of Qiao Lan's hesitation, Uncle Chen continued, "I will take care of young master's daily life, and I will have a nutritionist to deliver what he eats every day, so there won't be any heavy work, and definitely won't be too tiring, so don't worry about it at all, and the salary will be according to..."
"No no no", Qiao Lan busily said, "I am not thinking about this, I am thinking", after saying that, he paused, probably hesitating on what to say, but in the end, he still told the truth, "I am thinking Uncle Chen, you are not trying to help me before coming to me on purpose."
Uncle Chen laughed, "It's true that I want to help you, but it's also true that my old companion has gone home and the young master is short of someone to take care of him", and after that, he added
"Momo wishes she could see you, and it's true."
