My Wife Is A Miracle Doctor In The 80s

Chapter 292: Chapter 285: Those Were The Results

Due to a prospective major development in the land they bought, they decided to sell a portion of it and use the rest to build a building. Although Tang Yuxin felt that selling the land was the worst decision, there was no choice, as they couldn’t have their cake and eat it too. They lacked sufficient funds to build a structure, so using this method was the only way to recoup some of their investment before they could start building their first tower. Once they had secured a location, they could proceed with the rest of their plan.

You have to eat a biscuit bite by bite, and of course, you build a building one level at a time.

So, it turned out that she would be the only one going to university. Fortunately, Xu Miaomiao, Lin Yile, and Chen Lidong were all planning to go too, so she wouldn’t be alone.

But she really didn’t want to leave her squishy, baozi-like younger brother behind.

Lowering her head, she continued to prepare sugar water for him, so he wouldn’t be taken away to get shots in his butt when she was not around. That would be painful, and she couldn’t bear to see her brother suffer even a little bit.

She spent her days running up and down the mountain and had no time to think about anything else.

On the day the college entrance exam results were released, the whole family stayed up late, waiting by the phone, hoping to get the first news about the scores. The only ones who slept well were Chengcheng, who was too young to understand, Sisi, who didn’t concern herself with adult affairs, and of course, Tang Yuxin, to whom nothing else mattered.

When the call finally came, Tang Zhinian’s reaction was strange as he trembled and seemed to be smiling but also crying at the same time.

“How did it go?” Tang Zhijun hurriedly asked, “Those are the scores, right?”

Though they already knew how many points Tang Yuxin scored, there was always a fear that someone might have made a mistake, or that they misheard, so they had to confirm it for themselves: 756 points.

Tang Zhinian suddenly uttered a broad smile, “The full score is 780 points, and our Yuxin scored 756 points.”

Indeed, Tang Zhijun rubbed his hands in joy—provincial college entrance exam champion!

Zhang Xiangcao couldn’t hold back her tears of joy. The Tang family had finally made a name for themselves. It was great to think that their Sisi would have a champion sister in the future, and the family’s situation was improving. Life couldn’t be any better.

And she didn’t feel the least bit jealous or envious, for what was there to envy or be jealous about when it was her own child who had succeeded?

At that moment, many families just like theirs were up at the crack of dawn, waiting by the phone to check their children’s college entrance exam results. Upon finding out the results, some laughed, while others cried.

Those who passed were naturally elated, while those who failed could only regroup and prepare for next year’s examination.

There were those who passed, and many who did not.

The college entrance examination has always been a major dividing line for students in China and something parents are powerless to influence.

And with the release of the scores, the provincial champions in the humanities and sciences were announced.

The science champion came from a high school in Lian’an City, while the humanities champion was Tang Yuxin from the Qing’an City Secondary School No. 5. The principal was so excited that he didn’t sleep for an entire day and night.

This was the first champion from the school since its founding, and furthermore, it was in the provincial college entrance examination. This year, the school’s rate of success in applying to universities was almost the highest in the province.

They also had more than a dozen students admitted to the country’s best universities, including several who got into Qing University and Nanqing University.

The most delighted person at the school, aside from the principal, was Teacher Jin.

Teacher Jin was overjoyed. Just look at the class she was teaching – not only did they produce a provincial champion, but four students were also accepted into Qing University and Nanqing University. Additionally, the class had numerous students who achieved scores high enough for a first-tier university.

In contrast, the elite Class 5, which was supposed to be full of top students, somehow performed poorly in the exam. Although some students were admitted to a first-tier university, and more to a second-tier one, the overall performance was not up to par with that of Jin’s class.

If the elite class is performing at this level, what more could one ask for?

Teacher Song was so upset that she couldn’t eat properly for days. Every time she saw Teacher Jin’s smug face, especially when she was being praised by the school’s faculty, a fire seemed to rage in her heart.

Surely, those three successful students were hers. The provincial champion in the humanities was from her class. Why was it then that Jin was reaping the benefits? And why were the students from her Class 5 disappointing her so much? What had gone wrong with this examination? How could the top class at Secondary School No. 5 produce such poor results? How could those students who were supposed to be great prospects have failed in the college entrance exam?

Her reputation as the elite class teacher was ruined, and rumors spread that her bad Feng Shui was affecting the students’ luck. Otherwise, how could it be possible that so few from Class 5, which was usually reliable, have passed the first-tier university admission standard?

If this were any other year, most of Class 5’s students would have gotten into university. This was the worst performance for Class 5 in years and the most humiliating for Teacher Song.

And she couldn’t foresee the consequences. In the future, parents might avoid her class for fear of her supposed bad Feng Shui. Soon, she might only qualify as a regular teacher. The once influential and respected Teacher Song probably had never imagined that she would fall this far.

Contrarily, Teacher Jin, thanks to the success of her class, was praised by the City’s Board of Education and recognized as a promising teacher. But unlike Teacher Song, she remained the same, which made her more likable among her peers.

The province’s science champion, a slim young man with thick glasses, featured on TV a few times. Despite his peculiar appearance, he was now a legitimate student at Qing University and would certainly become an important figure for the country’s future.

The humanities champion, on the other hand, had remained a mystery. Besides knowing her name and school, people knew nothing else about her, including what she looked like.

Tang Yuxin should probably be grateful that technology hadn’t developed to the point where, within minutes or even seconds, she could be recognized by anyone, anywhere.

At present, unless the television or newspapers widely advertised her identity, nobody would know that she was Tang Yuxin, much less that she was the provincial champion, even if they were sitting right in front of her.

When the first day of school came, all the fathers drove their children to school. The good thing was everyone was going to school in Beijing. Tang Yuxin and Lin Yile, who were in the same department, had the shortest distance to travel. The first challenge after their arrival, however, was military training.
