AWB Chapter 180 Military Camp
Chapter 180 Military Camp
After hanging up the phone, almost an hour had passed. Lin Xi sent a text message to her family and then returned the phone.
Dong Yongshu couldn't understand why Lin Xi could become a police station consultant before, but after witnessing Lin Xi's skills, he understood it a little. He softened his expression and reminded her again, "Lin Xi, you are growing up now, so go to bed early tonight."
This can be said to be the gentlest thing Dong Yongshu ever said to his students.
Looking at the unusually kind principal, Lin Xi wondered if she had been judging him with a petty mind. It seemed that the principal was genuinely just concerned about her.
She tentatively replied, "But Principal, I don't want to fall behind in my studies."
Dong Yongshu was very satisfied with Lin Xi's progress. "There's still time for her to study. She can start studying after the military training is over."
Seeing that the principal was in a good mood, Lin Xi became bolder and decided to talk to the principal about the matter of day school today.
“Principal, I feel uncomfortable if I don’t study for a day, but I’m afraid of disturbing my roommates in the dormitory. I’ve been using a flashlight lately and my eyesight has become a little worse.”
Dong Yongshu patiently advised, "That's why you shouldn't stay up late studying. There will be plenty of time after military training."
“Principal, I have classes during the day and I also have to prepare for class and write novels at night. There is simply not enough time. Do you know Fu Wenyuan? He is my master. He has given me a lot of homework. I am afraid that I will be expelled from the school if I do not finish it.”
Dong Yongshu raised an eyebrow. Of course he knew Fu Wenyuan. When he returned to Danbei, he wanted to invite him to give the children lessons occasionally, but he was refused. He never expected that Fu Wenyuan was Lin Xi's teacher.
"This can be solved. As long as you make sure your grades don't fall behind, I'll allow you to do the homework that Teacher Fu assigned in class."
If it weren't for the fact that she needed to learn a hacker tutorial, Lin Xi would have been quite satisfied with this solution. She hadn't touched a computer in a long time and was itching to get back to it.
"Principal, to be honest with you, I want to be a day student."
Dong Yongshu frowned. This had never happened before at No. 1 Middle School. Every student who wanted to commute had been shut down by him with the words, "You're not qualified."
The academic competition at No. 1 Middle School is intense, and no one can hold the top spot. The students were already intimidated by Dong Yongshu, and since they themselves didn't have the confidence to say they were qualified, they could only leave disappointed.
But Lin Xi, you can't just dismiss Dong Yongshu like that. She might actually make sure you get first place every time.
Dong Yongshu, like a seasoned veteran, spoke in an official tone, "Xiao Xi, since the school was founded, all the students have lived on campus. There haven't been any day students. I have firmly rejected any who have had the idea, and even their parents' attempts to persuade them have been ineffective."
"If I open this door for you, what if other students come to me and ask what to do about day students? They don't have your self-discipline, and they might get spoiled rotten by their parents at home."
Lin Xi had anticipated Dong Yongshu's response, and said with a firm look in her eyes, "Principal, rest assured, I will absolutely not make things difficult for you."
After military training is over, you can arrange an exam that covers all the material from this semester. If I don't get a perfect score, I will never mention commuting again.
This can effectively encourage students to preview the material. If you can learn all the content of a semester without attending classes, you can also commute to school.
Dong Yongshu was somewhat surprised. Test all the content of a semester? That's nine subjects! Could this child have already previewed them all?
Seeing Lin Xi's confidence, he asked uncertainly, "Have you finished previewing the entire first semester of the first year of high school?"
Lin Xi shook her head. "No."
What she didn't say was that she hadn't finished reading all the material, but there were only three subjects left. If she finished all the subjects before the end of military training and did some practice questions, getting a perfect score would definitely not be a problem.
Dong Yongshu was relieved. He didn't believe that Lin Xi could finish a semester's worth of courses under such daytime military training conditions, and even if she did, it would be extremely difficult for her to get a perfect score.
Speaking of Chinese composition alone, it's normal to lose one or two points, no matter how well it's written.
Furthermore, this method does have a motivating effect on students, and it saves them from constantly coming to me to talk about commuting to school.
Thinking of this, Dong Yongshu nodded in agreement, "Okay, if you can really get full marks, I will agree to let you commute."
Lin Xi's eyes instantly narrowed into crescent moons, filled with undisguised joy. "Thank you, Principal."
Dong Yongshu was also in a good mood, and both sides believed that they were bound to win.
Over the next few days, Lin Xi was like a wound-up alarm clock, full of energy, training like crazy during the day and studying like crazy at night.
The dormitory supervisor saw the light coming from the fifth-floor dormitory and was too lazy to bother with it anymore; even the principal couldn't control this little girl.
Li Xiaonuan and the others admired Lin Xi immensely; they had never seen anyone with such boundless energy.
Everyone was so tired when they got back to the dorm that all they wanted to do was collapse and sleep. But Lin Xi was always engrossed in her books. Jian hope even stayed up all day with her to see what time she would go to sleep.
She still didn't get into bed with Lin Xi, and fell asleep on the table. She woke up in bed the next day, and it's said that Lin Xi had to carry her to bed.
Anyway, to this day, no one has ever seen what Lin Xi looks like when she sleeps; she is always the first one to wake up the next day.
With one week left in military training, as is customary, students will accompany their instructors to a military camp for a week of training to personally experience real military life.
Seeing Lin Xi constantly packing books and test papers into her backpack, even the usually quiet Shu Zhi couldn't help but ask, "Little Xi, are you going to study in the military camp? The instructor said that they often have to get up in the middle of the night to train, so there's no time."
"It's okay, there's always time if you make it up."
Shu Zhi wanted to say something but then shut her mouth. She thought it was impossible. They had been training all day long, and it was said that they even had to rush to eat. How could they study?
But seeing how uncomfortable Lin Xi felt if she didn't study for a day, he couldn't say anything, just like how Li Xiaonuan would die if she didn't speak for a day.
In the end, Lin Xi boarded the bus with a backpack full of books on her back.
Along the way, everyone was like birds released from their cages, constantly looking out the window and chattering away. Having spent eight whole days at school, they found even a supermarket novel.
Lin Xi, however, showed no interest in any of this and continued to scribble and draw on the exam paper with her pen.
Li Xiaonuan reminded, "Xiaoxi, Xiaoxi, don't do your homework anymore. Reading in the car is bad for your eyes."
Jianxi tried to get Lin Xi's attention, "Xiao Xi, look over there, there's a Ferris wheel."
Shu Zhi, always quicker with her hands than her words, snatched the pen from Lin Xi's hand and said, "Take a break!"
No one thought Lin Xi was unsociable or strange; she was just a little sister who loved learning.
Sometimes when I see her studying so hard, I feel inexplicably sorry for her and really want her to relax.
Why are little kids always working so hard? It's like they have some kind of mission. At their age, they're still playing with mud.
Lin Xi knew everyone meant well, so she put away the test papers and discussed them with them.
Until the surrounding environment became increasingly desolate, high walls and soldiers on guard appeared not far away.
We've arrived at the military camp.
