Chapter 1524: Exam Scores
He knew his son would definitely call him, and he just wanted to hear his son’s voice now.
After waiting for more than an hour, the call still hadn’t come through. Did something happen?
Now Li Yunqiao was left worrying.
Finally, the phone rang. His second son’s voice came over from the other end, "Dad, I am the top scorer in the city for science. I scored 439 points."
"Congratulations, congratulations, Li Hongjun."
Hongjun could hear his father’s excitement.
"Dad, my third brother scored 429 points, Cheng Lin 426 points, Hongling 425, my sister-in-law 418."
"Good, good, we’ll all go back this week. Call me when you get home with your second uncle."
"All right, but it’ll have to be in the afternoon. I need to call my sister-in-law’s family, and I also want to call Teacher Jiang. I’ve scored so high, I wonder how Feifei, Shi Jing Jianbin, and the others did."
"Okay, I’ll be waiting for your second uncle’s call today." We can’t hold a banquet here, but we can in the village. The children have all lived in the village for many years.
If it weren’t for everyone’s care, he wouldn’t believe it. Now it’s a perfect opportunity to thank everyone.
Hongjun hung up his father’s call and dialed the Tao Family. He wondered if their results were out today too.
Mr. Tao answered the phone. "Grandpa Tao, it’s Li Hongjun."
"Hongjun, have your results come out?"
"Yes, my sister-in-law scored 418 points."
"Hahaha, that’s great. My granddaughter can also go to university now. How about you guys?"
"I scored 439 points, Changhe 429 points, Cheng Lin 426, Hongling 425."
"Hahaha, congratulations to you all. You can all apply to the schools you want."
Mr. Tao sighed inwardly, the children from this small mountain village have made it out.
After hanging up, Hongjun looked at his three brothers, "Shall we call Teacher Jiang now?"
Changhe glanced at his watch, "We should be able to now."
Jiang Xinyu had been waiting by the phone. She didn’t go with the children to check the scores today, but Wei Kaiyun did.
Her daughter was unsurprisingly the top scorer, with 483 points. Her name was right at the top, Wei Kaiyun said it could be seen at a glance.
Shi Jing scored 470 points, placing third.
Jianbin scored 469 points, placing fourth.
Jing Chu scored 436 points, ranked thirty-sixth.
Guodong scored 440 points, ranked thirty-third.
Li Xue scored 430 points, ranked forty-ninth.
Zhao Xiaoli scored 420 points, ranked seventy-fifth.
Zhao Xiaoqiang scored 428 points, ranked seventieth.
Tao Yanfen scored 443 points, ranked thirtieth.
Yang Zhenyu scored 418 points, ranked eighty-fifth.
Yang Yujie scored 410 points, ranked ninety-ninth.
All these kids were in the top 100. Chaoyang scored 408 points, not in the top 100, but getting into the Capital University of Economics would be no problem.
Now Jiang Xinyu was just waiting for results from Li Family Village.
It was past ten when the phone finally rang.
"Teacher Jiang, it’s Hongjun. Our scores are out."
Jiang Xinyu could tell by Hongjun’s tone that they must have done well. "How did it go? What are your scores?"
"Teacher Jiang, I am the top scorer in the city for science. 439 points."
"Haha, congratulations, Hongjun. That’s great, really wonderful. With this score, there’s no doubt you’ll get into the Capital University of Economics." Jiang Xinyu was genuinely thrilled; Hongjun’s score exceeded her expectations.
"Teacher Jiang, my third brother scored 429.
Cheng Lin scored 426, Hongling 425 points, my sister-in-law 418 points."
Jiang Xinyu was even more excited hearing their scores.
"Good. We’ll be waiting for you in the capital."
"Alright, we’ll come once we receive the acceptance letters.
Teacher Jiang, what are Feifei’s and the others’ scores?"
"Feifei scored 483, Shi Jing 470, Jianbin 469, your sister 430, your brother-in-law 440, your Aunt Yang 420, Xiaoqiang 428. Your second brother 408, Jing Chu 436, Yujie 410, Zhenyu 418. Tao Yanfen scored 443."
Cheng Lin was noting down the scores. He knew Feifei was smart, but looking at her scores and then his own, there really wasn’t any room for boasting.
"You should hurry home. Once the acceptance letters arrive, take the train here. You don’t need to prepare anything; we’ll get ready in the capital."
"Teacher Jiang, my mom and my sister-in-law are making quilts. They’re almost done, one set for each of us."
Jiang Xinyu laughed, "Alright, when the wine is delivered in a while, pack up everything on a truck and have you four take the train. It’s more comfortable with berths."
After hanging up, Jiang Xinyu stood up, excited. The children had achieved such scores due to their hard work.
She dialed the Yang Family’s phone, informed Tao Yanfen and Wang Menglin of the scores, and then hurried home.
Now, every day, Feifei made lunch. Shi Jing helped prepare. Shixian and Tingting would set the table.
Feifei didn’t like making complicated dishes, so today’s lunch was rice, pickled vegetable noodles, stir-fried carrots, and stir-fried potatoes.
When Jiang Xinyu returned, the meal was already prepared.
"Hongjun is the city’s top scorer for science. All five of them scored above 400 points, and all of you also scored above 400."
Shi Jing smiled, "So they’ll all come to the capital, right?"
"Apart from my sister-in-law, they’ll all go to universities in the capital, so of course, they will come."
Their family was excited, but they didn’t realize those outside were stunned by Feifei’s score.
How did she study? She was only 17 points shy, across five subjects; that’s just over three points off per subject.
Nobody knew who Jiang Feifei was, but everyone wanted to meet her. Just to see her.
Han Xiangjun couldn’t stop grinning. He knew the kids were outstanding but hadn’t expected them to be this outstanding.
"Xiao Wei, should we hold an event?"
Wei Kaiyun shook his head, "Feifei won’t agree to that, but you could hold one for Jianbin."
Han Xiangjun, hearing Wei Kaiyun’s words, dejectedly shook his head, "If Feifei doesn’t want it, Jianbin won’t agree either. Better to forget it."
"You could ask the kids what reward they want."
Han Xiangjun still lacked enthusiasm; he had wanted to show off, but the kids weren’t cooperating. They really didn’t understand their old father’s intentions.
Wei Kaiyun was also helpless. He wanted to brag too, it truly was the pride of his life. But he didn’t want to put pressure on the kids; he couldn’t force them out of personal selfishness.
The two fathers were feeling down on one side. They were both pondering what gifts to give their children.
Han Xiangjun’s gifts were already prepared: each of the three children would receive a two-yard courtyard.
