Chapter 112 I wish my name was on it
In this award ceremony exclusive to Class 2, the four members of Pineapple Island became the biggest winners.
He won two Outstanding Student Awards and two Academic Progress Awards in one fell swoop.
Fang Wei did a simple calculation and found that about sixteen students in the class received prizes awarded by Wen Susu, which was a fairly high ratio.
It is precisely because of this that the other students who did not win the award are more motivated. After all, as long as they work hard, they still have a good chance of winning the award next time!
A few minutes before the end of get out of class, Wen Susu talked to everyone about the parent-teacher meeting again.
The parents' meeting is scheduled for this Saturday morning at nine o'clock.
As the class monitor, Fang Wei naturally couldn't sit idle. He had to come to school to help on Saturday.
Because most of the students did well in the exam this time, I no longer felt as fearful of the parent-teacher conference as before, and I even began to look forward to it a little.
For example, the enthusiastic female hero Xu Cailing even volunteered to come and help.
Wen Susu readily agreed.
After school, when the four members of Pineapple Island went downstairs with their schoolbags on their backs, they also saw that the bulletin board at the bottom of the teaching building had been replaced with a new red paper.
This is the school's 'honour roll'.
Just like the previous "Honor Roll", the names on the red paper were all handwritten with a thick black pen. The handwriting was quite good. They were all written by Mr. Wu, the vice-principal and grade director.
Only the top ten students in the grade have the opportunity to be on the honor roll.
Of course, in addition to regular test scores, there are other opportunities to be included in the honor roll.
For example, if a student participates in a certain competition and wins some award from the county or city, that award will occupy a large space on the honor roll. If the award is even more impressive, there will be a banner hung at the school gate!
Before attending Baitan Middle School, Fang Wei and Cai Ling had seen a banner like this, which read: "Congratulations to student XX for winning the second prize in the Olympic Mathematics Competition."
At that time, I thought these people were so awesome! Just thinking about having my name on the school gate would be so impressive!
When listening to Fang Wei Cailing talking about these things, Liu Zhiyi also blinked her eyes. She heard from her grandfather that when her father was admitted to university, Baitan Middle School also hung banners for a month.
It says [Congratulations to Liu Xuelun from the XX class for being admitted to Fudan University in the XX college entrance examination! Bring honor to the school!]
After all, he was the first college student in the county at that time, and he was admitted to such a prestigious school. Not to mention Baitan Middle School, even Donghua Primary School on Pineapple Island hung banners to promote it at that time.
The four of them squeezed through the crowd and saw two familiar and prominent names on the honor roll—
"Fang Wei, Zhiyi, you are both on the list!"
"How is it? I'm proud of you, right?"
Fang Wei looked up at the honor roll. He still remembered the day when he came to register for school. The three of them also crowded in front of the honor roll to look at it. His name was not on it at that time.
Now, Fang Wei has achieved one of his small goals and had his name on the honor roll, and ranked first.
"Grown! His face is so glowing! My buddy got the first place in the grade!" said A Sheng.
"My classmate ranked first in the grade!" Xu Cailing also said.
Seeing the two of them dividing up Fang Wei's newly grown face, Liu Zhiyi didn't know which piece to get for a moment.
"Then... my deskmate got the first place in the grade!" Liu Zhiyi also said.
Fang Wei: “…”
Cai Ling: “…”
Ah Sheng: “…”
Zhiyi: “?”
"No, Zhiyi! Your own name is already on the list, so don't share your pride with us! That's right, my sister ranked second in the grade! I'll have more pride!" Xu Cailing said cleverly.
Ah Sheng was convinced and admitted defeat: "Okay, okay, I've given you Xu Cailing my whole face..."
Xu Cailing looked at the honor roll and couldn't help but sigh: "It would be great if my name was on it, then I could make you proud!"
Although she made great progress in this exam and was quite satisfied with her results, there was still a huge gap between her and the top ten in the grade. If she really wanted to make the list through academic performance, Xu Cailing felt that after three years of junior high school, she didn't know if she had any chance.
Studying is not something she is good at or likes. If she could achieve something she likes and then be on the honor roll, she would definitely feel better.
"Cai Ling, come on! I think you can definitely make the list!" Liu Zhiyi encouraged.
"Haha, I'm just thinking, is there a possibility that I can't make it to the honor roll for my academic performance, but other things can make it to the honor roll?" Xu Cailing pinched her chin and thought.
"What's the matter?" A Sheng asked curiously.
"Like... well, saving a drowning child!"
"Be practical."
"Well, then let's run and become a champion. High jump or swimming will also be fine!"
"What champion? Olympic champion?"
Ah Sheng scratched his head and said confusedly, "I don't think we've ever heard of anyone in our school being on the honor roll because of running fast or jumping high?"
"...Qi! Idiot, I was just saying it casually, you believe it when I'm just kidding! Haha!"
Xu Cailing started laughing, but then she stopped laughing.
On the other side, Fang Wei, who had been quiet just now, said seriously: "I don't think it's impossible."
"..." Xu Cailing was stunned for a moment, looking into his eyes, she could tell that Fang Wei was not joking on purpose.
"…Then how should I run? Should I go to the principal and tell him, look how fast I run, please let me be on the list, that's it."
"Don't worry. The sports atmosphere has been quite strong recently. Our national team has won so many gold medals and even made it into the top three of the medal table for the first time. Who knows when our school will also hold a sports meet. Then, won't it be your home court?"
"real or fake……"
Xu Cailing listened with some anticipation, but also some disbelief, and asked doubtfully, "I've never heard of our school hosting any sports meet. I guess that's something that only happens in big cities, right?"
"Who knows? Why don't you ask Mr. Niu during the physical education class tomorrow?"
"Teacher Niu has been ill for a week. I wonder if he can still have the physical education class tomorrow..."
"Let's go! Mr. Fang is in a good mood today, so let him treat you to some ice cream!"
"ice cream?!"
"Thank you, Master Fang!!"
Fang Wei smiled, left the school with his three friends, and went out to buy ice cream.
……
The next day, Tuesday morning.
We didn't do morning exercises this morning. During the morning exercises, the school "briefly" talked about the midterm exam.
Fang Wei's ears were almost callused from listening so much. Compared with Wen Susu, the principal's speech was so long-winded and boring that it made people feel sleepy even when standing.
If this were written in a novel, readers would probably scold me and demand their money back.
It was not until the end, when the school was awarding prizes, that Fang Wei became energetic.
The top ten students in the grade will not only be included in the honor roll, but the school will also offer scholarships.
The first place will be rewarded with 100 yuan, the second place will be rewarded with 50 yuan, the third to fifth place will be rewarded with 30 yuan, and the sixth to tenth place will be rewarded with 20 yuan, which is the same amount as the 'Teacher Wen's Class 2 Scholarship' set up by Wen Susu.
But when I think about it, one is Wen Susu's personal love, and the other is for the entire school organization, the difference in generosity is obvious...
It’s not that they are stingy. After all, many schools don’t even have bonuses. It’s very generous of Baitan Middle School to be willing to give out this money.
"First place in the first grade, Fang Wei from the second grade; second place, Liu Zhiyi from the second grade; third place, Li Juan from the first grade... Please invite the students whose names were read out above to come up to the podium to receive their awards."
Although they were not doing exercises at this moment, the standing positions of each class were the same as during exercises. Xu Cailing, as the physical education committee member, stood at the front. Fang Wei also stood at the front of the boys' team, while Liu Zhiyi stood at the back of the girls' team.
Fang Wei didn't rush to go up to him, but waited for Liu Zhiyi there.
When she came up from the back of the team, jogging with a red face, the two of them went up together.
Standing on the rostrum, you can have a clear view of all the teachers and students in the school below.
Facing the gazes of so many people, if Fang Wei hadn't been there with her, Liu Zhiyi's calves would have been trembling.
With him around, Liu Zhiyi seemed much calmer.
Ten boys and girls lined up in a row from left to right according to their grades.
The person in charge of awarding the prizes was Vice Principal and grade director Principal Wu. From left to right, he presented red envelopes of different amounts and certificates to Fang Wei and Liu Zhiyi respectively.
Fang Wei roughly estimated that he received at least two certificates of merit every semester. From childhood to adulthood, he has received almost thirty certificates of merit!
The wall in the living room at home is covered with the awards he has won over the years.
Of course, he wasn't shameless enough to put them up himself; they were all put up by his father. Fang Xianfeng really enjoyed having guests over at his house and seeing the wall of awards. Whenever this happened, the guests would talk to him about his son.
My dad may appear to be like "it's just like that" and "not worth mentioning" on the surface, but he is actually very proud and happy in his heart.
During the award ceremony, Wen Susu had an extra job. She was holding a SLR camera in her hand, looking for angles in front of the podium to take pictures of the outstanding students and the teachers presenting the awards.
There was no photography in the school before. After all, the school was poor, the teachers were poor too, no one had a camera, and no one was willing to go out to find a photographer.
But things were different after Wen Susu came. The school had a free photography teacher!
When encountering such a big event that requires being photographed, how can we not ask Teacher Wen to step in and leave more photos for the school!
No wonder Vice Principal Wu, who usually dresses quite casually, didn't wear his rubber sandals this morning, but instead wore a pair of big-toed leather shoes, which was a rare sight...
"Everyone, hold the certificates in your hands in front of your chest. Yes, that's it... Principal Wu, please don't stand too far in the middle. You're blocking the students behind you!"
Other teachers: “…”
Teacher Wen, you still dare to say it!
Principal Wu felt embarrassed to give up his seat after hearing this. After thinking for a while, he simply walked to the far left and stood next to Fang Wei.
After thinking about it again, he simply stretched out his right hand, shook hands with Fang Wei, then turned around and looked at the camera with a smile.

Wen Susu pressed the shutter button.
