Chapter 3: Another Life-Changing Choice
"Attention everyone!" Shen Bohong, the homeroom teacher, pushed the glasses, coughed twice, and said, "Last week, I asked you to go back and discuss with your parents about filling in the application form. The discussion is almost done, right?"
Seeing everyone nodding, Shen Bohong continued: "Let me emphasize again, according to the admission policy of the Municipal Education Bureau, previous students are not entitled to apply for the first three types of colleges, namely key high schools, technical secondary schools and normal colleges. So before applying for the exam Students in the third category must be cautious, you have one and only one chance, you must do what you can, and make sure you hit it!"
Then the high school entrance examination application form was distributed, and everyone began to fill it out. The entire application form seems far less complicated than the application for the college entrance examination, but many people may not think that the completion of this document will become an important turning point in their lives.
In his previous life, Wu Tao seemed to be forced by his parents' expectations, but he applied for technical secondary schools. In fact, he was too conformist, accustomed to accepting other people's arrangements, and forbearing his true thoughts and feelings.
As a result, the youth who was supposed to be full of passion suddenly turned into a mature nerd. I really don't know, how could An Rong in the previous life fall in love with himself like this?
Now he finally figured it out, a boy should be like a boy, soaring into the sky, striving to reach the top, not turning back if he doesn't hit the south wall! Why pretend to be old and mature prematurely because of the heaviness of life? People will grow old sooner or later, and it is not too late to be a mature uncle when they are old.
With this in mind, Wu Tao filled out the voluntary form in one go. It happened that Shen Bohong passed by him, glanced at him, knocked on the table, and walked out.
After closing the application form for the high school entrance examination, Wu Tao followed the head teacher to the door.
"Why did you suddenly change your report to Beijiang Middle School?" Old Ban asked straight to the point, with a neutral tone, without any bias.
"Of course your grades are definitely fine, but your father has talked to me more than once, and wants you to apply for a better technical secondary school and work early to share the burden for the family."
I knew that the old class would ask, so Wu Tao had already prepared an answer. This answer is not a long speech, but a concise sentence.
"I think choice is more important than hard work, so I want to give it a go."
"That's all?" Shen Bohong was stunned, and subconsciously repeated: "Choice is more important than hard work..., profound, classic!" It will be very different now!
Looking at Wu Tao's eyes, there is a kind of surprise of "three days away from Shibai".
Then he patted Wu Tao on the shoulder and said, "Yes, young people should have the vigor of young people. You deserve a better life!"
"However, with your father, you still need to discuss it carefully. In this way, I will send your application for the high school entrance examination until next Monday. After you go back this weekend, discuss it with your family members, and it is best to get their consent."
Wu Tao nodded heavily.
"Do you want me to take you back?" Lao Shen was a little worried, and asked again.
"No need, Mr. Shen. I think I'm still confident in persuading them on this matter."
Facing Wu Tao's self-confidence, Shen Bohong found that he was full of earnestness and heart, and couldn't let it go. This child can say the words 'choice is more important than hard work', he must have thought it through and understood it, and it is definitely not an impulsive act.
"Is there anything else I can do for you?"
"Not yet."
"By the way, if they are worried about the cost of high school and are afraid that they will not be able to afford it, you can tell them that Beijiang Middle School has an entrance scholarship. As long as the entrance examination scores reach the top 20 in the school, the tuition and accommodation fees can be reduced. .”
"I know!" Wu Tao nodded in response, the old class's suggestion was not for nothing, and he set himself a trap in a blink of an eye.
Beijiang Middle School is a key high school in the province and a national demonstration high school. Its top 20 is at least equivalent to the city's top 40. This goal is not so easy to achieve.
"Let me try!"
Shen Bohong pondered: "You have this strength, don't belittle yourself!"
"Also, you told them that in two years, the public funding system for technical secondary schools across the country will be abolished, and the country will vigorously develop higher education. In the future, college students will inevitably become mainstream talents, while technical secondary school students will inevitably become foils. It will soon be broken."
Wu Tao knew that Lao Ban was right. In his previous life, in 1997, the state abolished the public funding system for technical secondary schools.
Many technical secondary school students at that time did not realize the imminent crisis. It wasn't until they were about to graduate that they realized that the whole era had taken a big step forward, and they could only become outcasts of the era.
"Okay, let's go home and discuss it."
"Yeah!" Turning around and walking into the classroom, Wu Tao met An Rong's questioning eyes, and Wu Tao responded with a calm smile, and the other party immediately smiled like a flower.
After returning to her seat, Zhao Li, who was lying on the table, came over and said, "You want to be admitted to a key high school?"
"Um."
"Can your parents agree? After all, you still have a younger brother. There is an older brother and a younger brother. Their burden is not light~"
"Will do."
Zhao Li didn't bother with this topic, she held her round chin and sighed softly: "Oh, I heard that the management of Beijiang Middle School is very strict, and the study burden is very heavy. It seems that I won't have the chance to ask you out to play in the future!"
It's so cute to be downcast, is it the halo bonus of big breasts? Speaking of big breasts, Wu Tao suddenly discovered that the other party's posture, the whole pair of big breasts were placed on the table, squeezed by force, and even gave him a glimpse of a moving spring.
"Ahem, it's all gone..." Wu Tao said ambiguously, holding his voice.
Zhao Li blushed immediately, and immediately sat back upright.
Wu Tao couldn't help but secretly regret that in technical secondary schools, especially health schools, more than half of them fall in love and less than half of them fight, and they just don't study hard. Zhao Li's pair of big boobs, I don't know which scum is cheaper.
In the blink of an eye, it was Saturday. After the afternoon class, the biweekly rest day for the graduating class finally came.
It's time to go home and have a showdown with my parents.
Although he had prepared for a long time, it was not as easy as he imagined. At this moment, Lao Ban strolled into the classroom and threw a stack of newspapers in front of him.
"This is a related report I found in the past few days. It may be useful to you."
Wu Tao took it and swept it away, and said with a long breath, "Thank you, Mr. Shen."
Leaving the school, returning to the water conservancy station, carefully folded the newspaper and stuffed it into the bag, pushed out the dusty 28 bars, wiped them clean, and then greeted Mr. Tang, the gatekeeper, got on the car, and disappeared in a blink of an eye. silhouette.
After a few rounds of vigorous kicking, the 28 bars suddenly flew as fast as an arrow. In the blink of an eye, he rushed past the gate of Binhu Middle School, and suddenly there was an urgent call from the side: "Wu Tao, wait for me~"
