Traveling through 1980 to become a top student

Chapter 22

Lin Jinglan was so nervous that she couldn't breathe, for fear of missing every word Teacher Han said.

"Among the 32 students in our class, a total of [-] students passed the preliminaries!"

Lin Jinglan was both happy and worried. The happy thing was that the passing rate of 50.00% had been greatly exceeded, but the worry was that 18 people were still eliminated.I don't know how many of the [-] people who were eliminated are from their study group?
Teacher Han continued, "Everyone will look at the scores later, I just read the names."

"Lin Jinglan, Hong Ze...Zhao Yumei..." Zhao Yumei breathed a sigh of relief and immediately collapsed on the chair.Still tense all over, Lin Jinglan hurriedly jotted down Zhao Yumei's name on a piece of paper, meditated in her heart, and then listened.

"Sun Zhi, Wang Qing." The three...

five...

Ten!

In addition to her, there were 13 people in the study group. Lin Jinglan's heart was beating like a drum. She had already heard the names of ten people, and she kept praying, three more, three more!
Lin Jinglan stared at the name she wrote on the paper, and Feng Lei, Jiang Hao, and Gu Panpan were still missing.

Teacher Han has been reading for a long time, and Lin Jinglan reckons that 32 people will be read soon, but she has not heard Gu Panpan's name yet.

"Wu Tao, Fang Yuntao..."

Fang Yuntao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard his name, and said in a serious voice, "It scared me to death."

Lin Jinglan frowned, tried to ignore Fang Yuntao's noise, and listened carefully to the name of the person read by Teacher Han, "Gu Man, Wang Lin..."

Still not.

Lin Jinglan was already mentally prepared. Ten out of 13 people passed, which is actually quite a high percentage.It's just that for Gu Panpan and the three of them, this is really a heavy blow...

"Jiang Hao, Feng Lei..." Lin Jinglan couldn't believe her ears, there were two of them again!
"Gu Panpan."

Teacher Han put away the list, "These are the 32 people who passed the preliminary exam."

Gu Panpan was the last one on the list. She thought she hadn't passed, but when she heard her name suddenly, she burst into tears and burst into tears.

Lin Jinglan was also sweating nervously, she let out a long breath, leaned back, and leaned on the back of the chair.

The end result was better than she expected.

Zhao Yumei was only concerned about passing the preliminaries. She didn't hear who passed the exam, so she quickly asked Lin Jinglan, "How many people in our study group passed?"

Lin Jinglan laughed so hard that she couldn't see her teeth, "I passed it all!"

Zhao Yumei screamed, "Passed? That's great!"

Even though Zhao Yumei was in the classroom, she hugged Lin Jinglan, speechless excitedly, "Jinglan, it's all because of you, it's all thanks to you, otherwise we definitely wouldn't be able to pass..."

Zhao Yumei's voice was not low, and the students in the class all looked at Lin Jinglan, shocked, regretful, and admiring, with various expressions on their faces.

Teacher Han said with a smile, "I just wanted to announce the good news, but everyone knows it. The study group led by Lin Jinglan has a total of 14 people, and all of them passed the preliminary exam!"

"The pass rate of our class's preliminary examination can reach 64%, which is the highest in the whole grade, 11% higher than that of the second class. The study group led by Lin Jinglan has contributed a lot!"

For the whole day, no matter whether they passed the pre-examination or failed, they didn't have any intention of studying.

Teacher Han also knew in his heart that he simply canceled the evening self-study to let the students calm down.

While in class, Lin Jinglan received a small note from the front, opened it in surprise, and saw that it said: "Stay after school this afternoon! Gu Panpan."

Lin Jinglan pursed her lips and smiled, and handed the note to Zhao Yumei. At the same time, she looked around and found that Gu Panpan had passed a small note to everyone in the study group.

After school, all the fourteen girls in the study group stayed. Many people asked Lin Jinglan what her plans were, and Lin Jinglan could only smile, "I don't know either, just listen to Gu Panpan."

Gu Panpan couldn't wait to say, "All fourteen people in our study group have passed the preliminaries. What a great thing! We must celebrate!"

Gu Panpan deliberately paused, "There is no evening study tonight, let's sneak out of school and play together!"

Zhao Yumei frowned, "Will it be discovered?"

Gu Panpan assured the ticket and said, "Absolutely not. As long as we come back before the lights are turned off at night, no one will find out. I have sneaked out many times before, and nothing happened."

Lin Jinglan's mind also came alive, it was really boring to study hard in school every day.Before she could say anything, the people around her echoed, "Let's go!" "Go out and play!"

Gu Panpan instructed them to climb over the wall, "Stand on this stone with your left foot, step up with your right foot, a brick fell off, and step on that gap."

After landing one after another, I don't know who got the head start. Everyone laughed and ran wildly together, and they ran far away before stopping.

"Where are you going next?" Lin Jinglan asked panting.

"I know there is a kebab shop, you don't need to pay the meat ticket, just give the money! Do you want to go?"

Lin Jinglan said without hesitation, "Go! My treat!"

It gets dark early in winter, Lin Jinglan and the others are sitting around the table eating kebabs, the sky outside the window is already dark, but the room is bright and warm.

Each of them held a few skewers in their hands, and their laughter never stopped from beginning to end, causing the guests at the next table to look at them frequently.

They endured a lot of pressure and too much criticism, and finally waited for the moment when they could feel proud and relax temporarily.

Zhao Yumei smiled and said, "Looking back now, I actually did not do badly in the preliminaries, but I was tense at the time and demanded too much of myself."

Wang Qing also nodded in agreement, "That's what happened. In fact, it was just a little mistake, but after thinking about it repeatedly in my heart and zooming in repeatedly, all the questions that I was not sure about were all included in the wrong questions."

Gu Panpan said, "I'm Zhenxuan. I'm the last one in our class who passed the preliminary exam. If I get two points lower in the exam, I won't pass! You all know how poor my grades were before. If it wasn't for Jing Lan, Pass the preliminary exam? I can't even think about it!"

Gu Panpan yelled, "Boss, here are fourteen bowls of beer!" Lin Jinglan was stunned, what about beer bowls?
Zhao Yumei stopped her, "Don't drink the wine."

Gu Panpan waved his hands, "We have to drink, we all have to respect Lin Jinglan!" As soon as the words came out, all the girls agreed and said to drink less.

Lin Jinglan directly said no, but unfortunately the resistance was ineffective.The proprietor brought over fourteen bowls of beer from a beer barrel.Everyone toasted to Lin Jinglan, but she was the one who drank the most in the end.

Lin Jinglan was dizzy and kept laughing, "I have lived for 27 years, and today is the happiest day!"

The girls all laughed, "I'm so drunk, I don't even know how old I am."

Lin Jinglan accidentally slipped her mouth, but fortunately no one took it seriously, although it was drunk, it was also the truth.

Today is really the happiest day of her two lives combined.

After drinking and eating, Lin Jinglan scrambled to pay the bill, but she alone was no match for thirteen people. In the end, she didn't even pay her own share, but the other girls hired her together.

A group of people returned to school, climbed over the wall and entered the gate of the dormitory building. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that they had successfully slipped back without a trace.

Lin Jinglan took out the key and opened the door of the dormitory. As soon as she stepped in, she was shocked, "Han, Teacher Han! Why are you here?"

Teacher Han sullenly said, "Of course I was waiting for you to come back. Where have you been?"

Lin Jinglan's thoughts changed sharply, and she decided to tell the truth, "Mr. Han, we were wrong. We just slipped out of school and went out for dinner."

Teacher Han stood up and asked sharply, "Sneak out of the school without permission! Do you know this is serious? The whole school has to report criticism!"

Lin Jinglan froze, "So serious?"

Teacher Han couldn't hold back any longer, bent over and laughed loudly, "I'm here to tell you the good news."

Lin Jinglan was stunned, and it took a while to realize that Teacher Han was lying to her just now?
Teacher Han took out a red happy announcement from behind, handed it to Lin Jinglan, and said loudly, "No. [-] in the city in the preliminary exam!"

Lin Jinglan hadn't reacted yet, "Me?"

Teacher Han pointed to the name on the happy announcement, "Of course it's you!"

Zhao Yumei screamed and jumped up happily.Lin Jinglan didn't feel anything special, "Thank you teacher for coming here to tell me, thank you for your hard work."

She then confirmed, "Mr. Han, don't we need to be punished for sneaking out of the school?"

Teacher Han was dumbfounded by Lin Jinglan's reaction, "There is no need for punishment! I am the only teacher who knows, and I won't tell. The number one in the city slipped out of school to have a meal. What's the matter?"

Lin Jinglan felt relieved and said with a smile, "Thank you, Teacher Han!"

Early the next morning, as soon as Lin Jinglan entered the classroom, she was dragged out by Teacher Han, "The principal just said, I'm going to announce the good news today! Come with me."

Lin Jinglan was confused, "What kind of happy announcement?"

"Of course you are the first in the school in the preliminary exam!" Teacher Han was angry.

Lin Jinglan was dragged away by Teacher Han, and when she reached the school gate, she was shocked.

There is a tractor parked at the gate of the school!

There are two poles attached to the tractor, one on the left and one on the right, and a long string of firecrackers is hung on each pole.

The principal was standing next to the tractor, and several teachers were standing behind him. When the principal saw Lin Jinglan approaching, he quickly held Lin Jinglan's hand, "No. [-] in the city! You have won credit for our school!"

Lin Jinglan looked at this posture with a dazed expression.The headmaster said to her with a full face of regret, "I got the news too late, I can't borrow a car everywhere, so I can only make do with a tractor."

Then the principal shouted angrily, "Everyone is here! Let's go!"

One teacher quickly got into the tractor, and the other teacher lit the two strings of firecrackers hanging on it, and there was a crackling sound.

The tractor drove slowly, and the teachers followed behind on foot. Together, they pulled open a bright red banner with big brush characters written on it, "Congratulations to Lin Jinglan of Qingshan No. [-] Middle School for winning the city's first place in the preliminary exam!"

It took Lin Jinglan a long time to come to her senses, wishing she could cover her face...it's too shameful to play...
