Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 836 School Fame
Many graduates gathered at the gate. When everyone heard the news, they were instantly excited. These three classes were amazing. How did they do so well in the exam? Including the top few students in their class, their class accounted for 15 places in the top 100 in the city, which immediately raised the school's overall ranking.

Teacher Yang was also smiling happily. Yesterday, the leaders of the Education Bureau had informed their school that this year's outstanding schools, outstanding teachers, and outstanding teaching groups are all from their school. Principal Ren was extremely busy. Some old friends sent their blessings, and some colleagues also sent their blessings, but they also asked about the learning methods of this year's students. There were also calls from leaders praising them, one after another.

Hongxing Primary School, an affiliated primary school of a steel rolling mill, has unexpectedly become the top primary school in the city. This is a jaw-dropping change. Even the top leaders of the steel rolling mill did not dare to believe it when they first learned about it. Only after repeated confirmation did they organize people to visit the school to express their condolences. These things happened in the past two days, and Wang Zhan and his friends were not aware of it.

Back in the class, although some classmates did not get ideal grades, they also had a sense of collective honor for their class. Wang Zhan knew that several people who did not get into junior high school decided to retake the exam next year. Not wanting to sink like this, Wang Zhan took the initiative to give them all his elementary school notes and review materials. After seeing this, He Yushui and others also gave them their notes and review materials.

Only Xiaowu was reluctant to part with his notes and review materials. Xiaosi even insulted him. Xiaowu stiffened his neck and said, "My sister is about to be born. I plan to leave them to my sister. But I can lend them to them. They have to return them to me after copying them. Xiaohei, Erzi, can you do that?"

Xiao Hei and Erzi nodded frequently. They were very close to Xiao Wu and got along well with him as classmates. However, unlike Xiao Wu, they had Wang Zhan by their side, so their studies were a mess. This time, they failed to even get into junior high school. The two planned to repeat a year next year. Fortunately, their two families were working-class families and could afford it.

Teacher Yang was in high spirits and gave a passionate thank-you speech, in which he praised and encouraged all the students. He also specifically mentioned that the top ten and top 100 students in the city would have corresponding rewards from the education department, and the streets where the students lived would also have corresponding rewards.

The top fifteen students in Class Three were very happy, and the other students were also envious. At noon, everyone had lunch in the cafeteria, which was provided free of charge by the school. The chefs and temporary helpers in the cafeteria did their best to prepare a sumptuous meal for these children who were about to leave school. Although there were only two meat dishes, eggs and chicken soup, the students were very happy to eat it.

The graduation ceremony was held in the afternoon. First, the principal gave a speech, then a teacher representative gave a speech. Of course, the teacher representative was Teacher Yang. Finally, a student representative gave a speech. The person who spoke was not Wang Zhan and his friends, but the president of the Student Union and the monitor of Class 3.

The final ceremony was the award ceremony. Wang Zhan was awarded the title of Outstanding Student, and he was well-deserving of it. Of course, he was also the Three Good Students. Unexpectedly, Xiaowu also received a certificate for being the "Outstanding Student with the Fastest Improvement."

The graduation ceremony concluded successfully at three o'clock in the afternoon. The students said goodbye to their teachers and the principal. However, the top fifteen students in Class Three were notified that a commendation meeting would be held in the auditorium of Tsinghua University on July 20, and they were asked to attend on time.

As soon as they left the school gate, Fei Qing and the others rushed home without even mentioning going to Wang Zhan's house to play. Wang Zhan knew that they were in a hurry to tell their family the good news.

Wang Zhan and He Yushui walked home slowly with their respective gains. On the way, He Yushui asked about Xiaowu, the waiter of the restaurant in Jinyu Hutong. Wang Zhan laughed and said, "You don't know, Xiaowu is the distant nephew of Mr. Zhao, the owner of this restaurant. I was only eight years old when I first met him, but I had a cheap master at that time, Blind Chen, you know."

"I know, what does that have to do with this store?" He Yushui asked.

"Listen to me, I was young at that time, and I went there to order fried liver and buns. I didn't expect that this Xiao Wu looked down on me and insisted that I pay first. I was a little angry at the time, so I called him. Then Boss Zhao came out and started to talk to me. Do you understand what he said?" Wang Zhan asked.

He Yushui nodded and said, "I know, he just wanted to find out the details." Wang Zhan laughed and said, "I didn't expect that Boss Zhao was also the apprentice of Blind Chen. In terms of seniority, I call him Senior Brother. After we met, Boss Zhao whipped Xiaowu with a whip, so he was very afraid of me afterwards."

He Yushui was also happy and said, "Well, I didn't expect your cheap master to be so useful."

Wang Zhan had to admit this. Officially, his genuine master had an impeccable reputation, but in a place like Jianghu where all kinds of people mixed together, his two cheap masters were still very useful.

The two of them walked to the door of their home unknowingly. Today was the graduation ceremony, so Wang Zhan did not take Wang Li to school. Wang Zhan pushed open the door and was stunned for a moment. Before he left, he had given many instructions and asked his sister to bolt the door. There were only two little girls and two younger ones in the room. What if something happened?

But with this push, the door opened. He Yushui realized what might have happened and his heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly ran in, and Wang Zhan quickly followed.

As soon as they entered the front yard, they were dumbfounded. Their master Qi Dasheng, Director Li and Director Wang were all busy in the kitchen, and there were a few people chatting in the backyard. The only person who could chat in the backyard so peacefully, with their sister not objecting and their master eating peacefully, was the one who came: Uncle Li.

Wang Zhan greeted several people in the kitchen. When he did so, he saw Aunt Sun sitting on a small stool in the kitchen, tending a sheep.

After saying hello, Wang Zhan took He Yushui to the backyard. As expected, not only Uncle Li came, but Minister Jin from the Ministry of Finance also came. In addition to the two people, there was Brother Wang, Uncle Li's secretary, and another person he didn't know.

Uncle Li waved his hand, and Wang Zhan walked over. He Yushui greeted him and went to find Wang Li. Uncle Li nodded and said to Wang Zhan, "You know this guy, right? You can call him Grandpa Jin. This one is from the Ministry of Education, you can call him Grandpa Liu. He came here specially to see you today."

Wang Zhan quickly bowed and said, "Hello, Grandpa Liu, welcome to my home."

"Hahaha! Don't be so formal with me, be more casual. Actually, I am your master's teacher. Your father's name is Wang Ming, and your mother's name is Qian Fenfang. You may not know that your grandfather Jin is only your mother's teacher, but I am your parents' teacher and their matchmaker." Grandpa Liu said.

Wang Zhan got excited when he heard this, because he remembered that when he was a child, he often heard his parents mention that no matter how they were doing, they would send a letter home before the New Year, to a professor named Liu.
