Time Travel: Conditional Wealth

The college entrance examination for He Xi and his classmates is scheduled for two months later. From the beginning of studying to the examination, the new "students" have two months to study and summarize.

The first month after the review ushered in the first mock exam, which was of great significance. Everyone was excited and nervous, but also glad that they still had time to identify and fill in the gaps.

The educated youth and the students from the village, a total of twenty people, occupied He Xi's house. The examinations and classes were all held in He Xi's house. He's father took care of the logistics support. The stove in the house was kept warm and there was enough hot water.

As expected, Lu Jinan ranked first, Xiao Yan ranked second, He Xi ranked third, He Fei ranked fourth, and fifth...

The results were announced during evening study when everyone was there. Bursts of ghostly howlings could be heard from the room, which made He's father terrified.

He's father didn't want to discourage the children, but they were in a small mountain village in the Greater Khingan Range: "Stop howling, or you'll attract wolves."

"I don't believe it. Your uncle is obviously showing off that your children all did better in the exams." A hard-working boy choked softly.

He's father sighed lightly, without saying anything else, turned into the house, took out his shotgun and prepared for battle. Sure enough, a wolf howl came from the mountain in response, "Awooo", and the student who was still sad about not doing well in the mock exam suddenly became quiet.

The timid female comrade shrank her shoulders and looked seriously at the person who had just talked back to He's father. He or they really brought down the wolf's response.

The evening study session suddenly became quiet, quieter than ever before. People were talking to each other in very low voices, and only dared to communicate in normal tones until He's father told them that everything was fine.

Xiao Yan began to add insult to injury: "He Xi, come here, let me take a look at your test paper. Why are you not ranked second? Believe me, Lu Jinan will talk to you soon."

He Fei glared at Xiao Yan: "Can't you stop making things difficult for her? I think it's pretty good. Why does he need a perfect score? Will he be satisfied if I become a nerd?"

He Xi's eyes were slightly empty. Yes, she was not bad. Who said that full marks were the best affirmation of learning? She tried hard, but... comparing yourself with others will make you angry, and comparing goods will make you throw them away.

Everyone laughed and said, "No way, He Xi still has to accept criticism for his grades? The Dean of Studies is really strict, how did he find a partner?"

Xiao Yan's expression was somewhat teasing: "He..."

Li Zhi turned around and looked at He Xi who was sitting in the last row: "There is still one more chance, He Xi, I will definitely surpass you."

The female educated youth next to Li Zhi pushed her arm and said, "Don't do that. They are teaching us. If you openly provoke He Xi, you might get targeted."

The other female educated youth also echoed: "Yes, Lu Zhilu is still our team leader, you should not always target He Xi."

Li Zhi angrily glanced at the female educated youth who were talking: "You are just afraid of being implicated. You are saying nice things for my own good. There is no need for me to compete with her."

He Fei nudged He Xi and said, "Lu Jinan probably really wants to talk to you. He doesn't look very happy."

Some people accepted criticism and education, some accepted praise, and Lu Jinan and Xiao Yan rewarded each of those who did well in the exam with a roll of draft paper, hoping that they would continue to work hard and be admitted to the university they wanted to go to.

The evening study session was about the test paper and the math that made He Xi drowsy. In addition, due to the time, the two sisters sat at the same table, leaning their heads against each other for support, but it seemed to have a different effect.

Yawning is contagious. If one person yawns, he can hold it together, but if two people yawn, they can fall into a deep sleep.

Lu Jinan quickly wrote on the blackboard with chalk in his hand: "How many people got this calculus problem right?"

Only three or two out of the twenty people raised their hands. Two of them who were sleeping got the answer right, but they were unable to give Lu Jinan feedback.

"It's not that difficult, actually. We need to break it down. Let's take a look at this graph of displacement versus time, displacement divided by time. When the displacement is very small, when the time is very small..."

Lu Jinan and Xiao Yan were each other's assistants. Xiao Yan glanced at the two drowsy sisters and said, "The charm of mathematics is that it makes people drowsy."

The two sisters woke up when the evening study was about to end. He Fei was horrified. She had fallen asleep in math class and other classes as well. Xiao Yan would definitely "educate" her later, but she had to go to class tomorrow. What should she do if she couldn't get up?

Compared to He Fei's collapse, He Xi seemed relatively calm. No matter what, Lu Jinan would not let her off easily.

While He Xi was sleeping, Lu Jinan got a piece of paper with everyone's scores and rankings in six subjects written on it, to constantly encourage those who didn't work hard.

On nights when the north wind howled, the layers of snow on the ground were blown up and hit my face, making it cold and painful.

Even when she fell asleep, He Xi could still feel Lu Jinan's ferocious gaze and couldn't sleep well.

Is it because of the language itself that people instinctively think that Chinese is not difficult, aren't they just Chinese characters?

They are different. Chinese characters are culture and language is a subject. In essence, they are both words, but their essences are very different.

Lu Jinan sat in front of He Xi's desk, holding her Chinese test paper in her hand: "Can you tell me about your Chinese test paper? Is there any word you don't recognize? Let's take a look at your reading comprehension and composition."

He Xi was punished like a child who had made a mistake: "I know all the words, but I can't understand them together. How can I know what emotions they want to express, what themes they want to sublimate, what they embody, what they explain, am I the worm in his stomach?"

Lu Jinan's expression became more and more serious: "I asked you to read the article because I didn't know."

"I read it."

"Then you should write it."

"I can't write. I'm not him."

“Put yourself in the situation.”

"It's so hypocritical, I can't relate to you."

Lu Jinan was so disappointed: "He Xi, do you know what time it is now? You are still playing and being petty. I can't just take care of you like before. You are not young anymore and you should understand things. Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. People should be worthy of themselves first. Think about it yourself."

People must admit that they have shortcomings and weaknesses. Only in this way can they live a complete life. A perfect life is mostly suffocating.

When going to bed at night, He Xi felt uncomfortable and tossed and turned, unable to sleep. Why didn't Lu Jinan allow mistakes on He Xi's test paper? It didn't look good. It was a witness to He Xi's growth process. She never thought about being a good student or a perfect person in anyone's eyes. She is herself, not someone else.

The world of academic elites is painful, and she has never thought of getting involved in it. There is nothing wrong with hiding in one's own turtle shell. Lu Jinan's strict requirements did not cause He Xi to rebel, but made her see her own heart clearly.

What she has always pursued is: freedom. She has her own track for the dream of her previous life and the path of this life.
