Chapter 200. Targetting
Lin Qing He, who had calculated the time, begun to consciously increase the course pace for Da Wa. She guided him on key points to study. These textbooks were all read inside out by her. She knew exactly what was important and what was not.
In addition, Da Wa was really smart and had a good memory. He can learn it with less effort.
It's just he can't keep up with the chores at home.
"In the future, you two will go to gather pigweed. Your eldest brother is occupied lately and doesn't have that free time. Understand?" Lin Qing He assigned the pigweed work for earning work points to the Er Wa and San Wa.
Er Wa had no objection.
San Wa began to complain: "That Eldest Brother. Is he planning to be a useless scholar? Not doing any more work?"
"When your eldest brother was working, you played a lot." Lin Qing He pointed out and then patted the little guy's bottom: "Stop chattering. Your eldest brother is really busy with study."
San Wa was just talking about it. He still sensibly shouldered the big responsibility of raising the family.
Da Wa actually wanted to say that there was no need but his mother didn't agree. She had him study hard during this while. There were so many things to learn this semester.
His mother wanted him to complete everything in the first year of junior school. That way, once the winter vacation is here, he'll learn the content of the first semester of the second year. Then when school starts, it's very simple to get admitted into the second semester of the second year.
Even though it was hurried, his father had him to listen to his mother and don't question.
Mother Zhou didn't understand. She came to ask Lin Qing He, "Da Wa's mother, won't it be too rushed for Da Wa? He's not that old."
This year Da Wa was only ten years old. At this age, it can be said that he was the youngest in the class.
Children from other families may not necessarily be in first grade at the age of ten.
"He is young. However, he grew up pretty tall. Even if he gets into that year, others can't bully him. Mother, don't worry." Lin Qing He said.
"But it's too quick. I think Da Wa has become a little thin recently. Studying really drains the brain." Mother Zhou persisted.
Lin Qing He didn't feel that Da Wa became thin recently. However, it was true that studying was intense on the brain. So, she ordered five bottles of milk every day now.
It certainly cost a lot of money. In Lin Qing He's words, if Da Wa can skip a grade, he will save on tuition. It can also balance out the cost.
The autumn harvest will start at the end of this month. Lin Qing He had already started gathering rice field eels and loaches.
Zhou Qing Bai ate too much eel and tossed around her at night.
"It's nearly the autumn harvest. You got to save a bit of energy." Lin Qing He complained as she hammered on him.
But soon there was no time to talk. Zhou Qing Bai had now become an experienced driver. He always knew how to prompt her to only hold him and let him do as he likes.
Zhou Qing Bai was naturally contented. When he was done, he had her in his embrace and said, "Don't worry about Da Wa's matter. If he can make it in time, then take the exam. It's okay if he can't."
He also recalled that she mentioned the college entrance examination recontinues in 1977. It was currently 1974. There were still a few years left.
"If he can't make it, he might not be able to pass the second year. Let him try first. If it doesn't work, it can't be helped." Lin Qing He said sluggishly.
"Again." Zhou Qing Bai looked at her and said.
Lin Qing He refused. She urged him to sleep properly and stop tossing about it. After a day's work, he was still so energetic at night.
Early the next morning, Er Wa mentioned: "Yesterday Eldest Brother had a dream and talked in his sleep. He was still reciting the text."
"So noisy." San Wa also nodded.
Little Su Cheng had a blank face. Did it happen? Why didn't he knows?
"Eat. Go do what you should after eating." Lin Qing He dismissed them.
Da Wa drank two bottles of milk alone. His body was obviously well-nourished. His height increased a lot.
On normal days, Lin Qing He had got him to eat up most of the sesame paste soup and cooked peanuts.
This day, she brought back a few jins of scraps from Sister Mei. There was a bone within it. She simply stewed that with soybeans.
She usually only drank the soup with this kind of dish. The soybeans were shared among the father and sons.
Studying was really brain consuming, so Lin Qing He paid great attention to the management of his diet. She often gathered the bones to make soup to drink.
The villagers knew that about Da Wa's excellent academic performance.
They heard that he received a full score in junior high school. Before the horn of the autumn harvest sounded, the community's junior high school had its first monthly test. Grade-wise, Da Wa ranked first in his whole year and beat the second year by a three-point distance.
There were also two other children in the village who were studying in junior high. One was the grandson of the leader's family. The other was also surnamed Zhou. Although it was a bit distant, they were also somewhat related.
When school started, that child's mother came to say hello to Lin Qing He. She also brought over some eggs.
Lin Qing He didn't accept the eggs. She just told her to get that kid called Zhou Zhi to come over and ask her if he had any questions.
Her attitude was obviously very frank. However, he hadn't come to ask for so long.
The test papers weren't issued by Lin Qing He. The first year's first exam papers were made by the second year math teacher.
While the first monthly exam paper for the second grade was created by Lin Qing He. It was an exchange. It was the same as last year.
Therefore, the villagers knew of Da Wa's achievements. They also found out that Zhou Qing Bai and Lin Qing He's son can study.
The roots of the ancestors of the old Zhou family were known clearly. How can they not know if it's inherited?
Including Zhou Qing Bai, his performance was so-so. It wasn't as good as Da Wa, who gets first place in a good few classes. This was remarkable.
No need to say who it was inherited from?
It must be the self-taught Teacher Lin.
"Maybe Da Wa will really get admitted to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University in the future," some wise old people in the village remarked.
In their part, they hadn't produce a college student yet.
Such creatures like college students exist in legends.
And the gold value of college students nowadays can't be compared to that of later generations. It can be seen from the words 'exist in legend' how extraordinary it was.
How precious? It was almost like a panda.
Once these old people said so, the villagers couldn't help but observe Da Wa.
They used to think that Da Wa was excellent. Some people who have a girl of the same age in their families started targetting in their hearts despite the fact that Lin Qing He was the mother (T/N: before becoming a teacher).
This shows Da Wa's popularity in the village.
Later, Lin Qing He had silently endured hardship to clean herself white and the villagers 'discovered' that they had misunderstood Teacher Lin.
Not to mention Da Wa, many people were eyeing Er Wa.
Now it was said that Da Wa was very likely to get admitted into a university, it had everyone roused up.
So, Er Wa and San Wa came back with two boiled eggs when they returned from gathering pigweed that day.
They handed it to their mother.
"Where did the eggs come from?" Lin Qing He asked.
"Mrs. Wang asked us to bring it back for Da Wa to eat," Er Wa said.
