Chapter 134 Where there's a will, there's a way
Fearing that Qiu Jianying would urge him to pay the tuition, Liang Jingdong quickly changed the subject.
"Teacher, I just saw Hua Lichu go into the office? Is she here to apply for a grant? Doesn't she own two shops outside of school?"
The implication is that if she can apply for subsidies, why can't I?
Qiu Jianying explained, "She did not apply for the school's subsidy, but because her mother was a hero who saved lives, the government went through a different channel to apply for a reduction in her tuition fees."
Seeing that Liang Jingdong was determined to achieve his goal, he simply said, "Here's what we'll do: take this application form back and fill it out."
Whether you get selected depends on whether there are three people ahead of you in the ranking who meet the criteria.
If not, then it will be your turn in the next round.
Even so, both of them knew that it was simply impossible.
In the entire (2) class, there are a total of 57 people ahead of Liang Jingdong.
Qiu Jianying only conducted a preliminary screening and selected more than twenty that met the criteria.
Among them are families with seven or eight children, whose parents are all farmers; and families where the father was in a car accident, with the mother's salary alone supporting a family of more than ten people...
Although their circumstances are different, they all seem to fit the school's poverty criteria better than Liang Jingdong.
So, unless a windfall comes along, Liang Jingdong will never be included in the rankings.
Liang Jingdong clenched the application form, lowered his head, and a hint of resentment flashed in his eyes.
He knew that Qiu Jianying was just deliberately making things difficult for him because he had done poorly on the tests recently!
Just wait, he will definitely be able to return to the Sunshine Class. At that time, even if she kneels down and begs him to stay, he will never turn back!
Seeing that Liang Jingdong was standing still, Qiu Jianying urged him again, "School has been in session for several days now, when is your tuition fee due? When can you pay it?"
Just then, the homeroom teacher from the next class came in from outside.
Hearing Qiu Jianying urging for tuition fees, he was a little annoyed and said, "Your class hasn't paid all the tuition fees either? Our class is also short four or five... Sigh, the finance department is pressing us so hard, it's really driving me crazy."
Qiu Jianying nodded: "The finance department is also urging me, saying that I have to pay in full within a month at the latest."
Seeing Liang Jingdong's face turn red and then pale, she knew that children his age were concerned about their image, so she waved her hand:
"Class is about to start, you should go back to the classroom. As for the tuition, please remind your parents to pay it as soon as possible."
Liang Jingdong said nothing and ran away with his head down.
Seeing this, Qiu Jianying shook her head helplessly.
It's said that having connections makes things easier.
Qiu Jianying quickly helped find several teachers who met the requirements.
These teachers are all well-known backbone teachers at No. 1 Middle School.
This alone shows that Qiu Jianying must have put a lot of thought into this matter.
Before starting the tutoring session and discussing the fees, Qiu Jianying called the Hua Lichu sisters aside and suggested:
"Although they are all experienced teachers with many years of teaching experience, they may not necessarily be suitable for you."
You can try one lesson first, and if you feel it's suitable, then you can schedule a long-term course.
Please don't settle for anything because of me.
Nobody's money comes from thin air. Since you've spent the money, you should find what suits you best and try to make the most progress in the shortest amount of time.
If you don't like it, don't hesitate to say so. I know other teachers, and I can help you find someone else later.
Seeing Qiu Jianying's earnest and patient teaching, Hua Lichu and her sister were a little moved.
Most people are afraid of trouble and offending others, so they would never take the initiative to make such a suggestion as she did.
But both sisters knew that doing more is worse than saying more.
Only by achieving better grades can we repay the teacher's good intentions.
Qiu Jianying carefully examined the two sisters and pondered for a while before speaking.
"Hanaichi, I have a suggestion."
"Teacher, you say it."
"I know you want to get into the Sunshine Class as soon as possible."
But with your current grades, you'll definitely have to put in a lot of effort in every subject if you want to get in.
There are only 3 hours of tutoring time each night, spread across 6 courses, which is too little.
I've always taught you Chinese; no one knows you better than me.
I've arranged for two Chinese language teachers to give you trial lessons so you can compare them. If you're happy with my approach, you don't need to hire a tutor for Chinese; I'll use my free time during the day to provide you with targeted training.
Hua Lichu replied without hesitation, "Then I won't find a tutor for my Chinese."
But Qiu Jianying still let her try out the class.
"Don't show favoritism to me just because I'm your homeroom teacher. We believe in fair competition here."
Hua Lichu was both amused and exasperated by these words.
After auditing two other Chinese language teachers' classes, Hua Lichu considered it for a while and ultimately chose Qiu Jianying.
Qiu Jianying's subsequent actions did not disappoint Hua Lichu's choice.
As a Chinese language teacher with over ten years of experience, and having personally mentored Hua Lichu, Qiu Jianying understands Hua Lichu's weaknesses in the subject better than Hua Lichu herself does.
A few days later, Qiu Jianying gave Hua Lichu a research form.
Based on Hua Lichu's usual practice books and several monthly exam papers, she analyzed Hua Lichu's weaknesses and offered professional training suggestions.
Then, there's no need for extra tutoring to take up her already limited evening time.
Qiu Jianying would use the long break between classes to call Hua Lichu to her office and explain things to her one by one.
She also gave Hua Lichu several sets of study materials, which were specially delivered by various bookstores that wanted her to have her classmates order them.
Instead of letting Hua Lichu do every question, they would circle the questions she needed to do beforehand, and then correct and explain them after she finished.
Qiu Jianying taught very diligently.
Hua Lichu also studied very hard.
In less than three months, Hua Lichu achieved the top ranking in the Chinese language subject in a standardized test.
The other tutors were also dedicated individuals.
Although it wasn't as meticulous as Qiu Jianying's work, it was still quite good.
After six months of tutoring, Hua Antao's grade ranking has finally changed.
When it does not move, it is so; but when it does, it is astonishing.
She jumped directly from 10th in the grade to 1st, and was 18 points ahead of the second-place student.
Hua Lichu, although she didn't get into the Sunshine Class, became the fifth-ranked student in Class (2). (Ranked 35th in the grade) (50-35)
Just then, the final exams for the second semester of my first year of high school quietly arrived.
The grade head then took out his target achievement form and asked all the students to fill it out.
When Hua Li first received the form, she stared at it for a long time.
Her fingers, gripping the ballpoint pen tightly, turned slightly white from the force.
Finally, she wrote the number "20" in the space immediately following her name.
On the day of the final exam, a ray of sunlight shone down on Hua Lichu's head just a second before she walked into the exam room.
She stopped in her tracks, waited two seconds, and then walked into the examination room with her head held high and chest out.
