Meng Yan's Transformation

Zhan Mengyan and her family are waiting for the results of the primary and secondary school teacher qualification examination with great anticipation.

On the day the results came out, Zhan Mengyan was not surprised. She felt the results were within her expectations.

Zhan Mengyan took the report card home expressionlessly and said, "Dad, Mom's elementary and middle school teacher qualification exam results are out."

"Mengyan, how did you do in the exam?" Zhan Yingying asked.

Zhan Yu saw that Zhan Mengyan's mouth was straight and there was no joy in her eyes, so he said, "Look at her, she doesn't look happy at all. How can she do in the exam? Mengyan, I told you not to be too sure, I'm afraid you will be the second to last among the county's candidates. It must be hard to fail, right?"

Yunqing hurriedly grabbed Zhan Mengyan and said, "Mengyan, don't listen to your father's nonsense. We didn't do well in the exam this time, so it's a good opportunity to prepare for the high school entrance exam again. You didn't want to take the normal school entrance exam in the first place. Isn't it you who want to take the high school entrance exam the most? This is deliberately arranged by God, so that you can get what you want."

Zhan Yu looked at Yunqing again and came close to her and said, "Yunqing, stop praising your daughter. She can't even pass the elementary and middle school teacher qualification exam, and she still wants to go to high school and college. Isn't that just wishful thinking? Forget it, just get a junior high school diploma. It's just right for her to work on the farm with Yingying. Our family is in need of labor."

Yunqing pushed Zhanyu aside and said, "Mengyan, we won't listen to your father. Tell mom how many points you got in the exam."

Zhan Mengyan glanced at Zhan Yu, then slowly took out the report card and placed it on the table.

Yunqing took the report card and read it, "Chinese 146, Math 142, English 150, Chemistry 150, Physics 150, these are good scores! How come she is second to last? The total score is 750, Mengyan scored 738, just 12 points away from full marks. I have inquired about it, and they said that this year's primary and secondary school teacher qualification exam questions are very difficult, and the score line will not be high. Based on Mengyan's score, I think she should be the first in the county."

Zhan Yu looked at Yun Qing's excited face, and hurriedly snatched Zhan Mengyan's transcript, looked through it carefully, and said, "Yun Qing, you may not have heard it correctly. Maybe this year's primary and secondary school teacher qualification exam has the easiest test questions in history, and the candidates' scores are generally high."

Zhan Yingying saw Zhan Mengyan silently listening to her father and mother talking to each other, so she also said anxiously: "Sister Mengyan, don't be so silent, tell me quickly, can you pass the entrance examination to the secondary normal school, what is your ranking in the whole county?"

"Yes, Mengyan, can you please tell us what the county's overall results are for this year's primary and secondary school teacher qualification examination?" Yunqing also asked in agreement.

Zhan Mengyan was about to speak when Zhan Ziqiang came in carrying a hare and said, "Sister Mengyan, you ranked second in the county in the primary and secondary school teacher qualification examination this year, and ranked first in Xinxing Middle School. Your secondary normal school teacher examination score was 0.5 points lower than the county's first place. To celebrate your good results, I shot a hare. We will stew the hare meat tonight. By the way, I also set up a fishing net in the river. After I wrap the hare, I will go and set up the fishing net with Zi'an. We will catch a lot of fish, and we can have another dish for dinner."

Zhan Ziqiang said as he went to look for a sharp knife to skin the rabbit.

"Zhan Ziqiang, you came in and started talking nonsense. Where did you hear this from? Is the information reliable and true?" Zhan Yu asked.

Before Zhan Ziqiang could answer, Zhan Zi'an walked in with a half-full plastic bucket of fish and said, "Dad, don't worry. The news my brother Ziqiang said is absolutely true and reliable. I told him. I went to my second aunt's house yesterday and happened to meet my eldest cousin Zhang Deren. He told me that he was also very surprised that sister Mengyan could achieve such good results. He also said that he had underestimated sister Mengyan. How could the news that Mengyan's head teacher said be untrue and reliable? Sister Mengyan, didn't you show your primary and secondary school teacher qualification test transcript to Dad and Mom?"

"We just saw Mengyan's secondary normal school exam transcript, but Dad doesn't seem to believe it." Yunqing said.
