Chapter 496: 137: Repeat, Li Xianxian goes to prison_3
Ni Yang’s various conditions are all superior to his, if his grades can’t surpass Ni Yang’s, then what face does he have to stand with Ni Yang?
They all say that a girl’s IQ will decline after a certain age, by the time Ni Yang takes the college entrance exam next year, she will be 19 years old. At that time, she will definitely not surpass him.
So, he must choose to repeat a year! Only then can he outdo Ni Yang.
Li Wei put down his exam paper and walked downstairs.
In the living room, Li Dongliang was discussing with Qian Jinfeng about when to throw a party.
“Dad, Mom.”
“What’s wrong, son?” Qian Jinfeng asked with concern, “Do you want to eat something? Let mom cook it for you.”
“No.” Li Wei shook his head and then said, “Dad, mom, I don’t think I did well on this exam, I might have underperformed.”
Li Dongliang laughed and said, “Xiaowei! I have asked around, you scored the highest in our whole street, the neighbor Wang Long only scored a little over three hundred and ninety points, which is not even enough to be placed in the fourth class, he can barely get into a third-tier university!”
“Absolutely!” Qian Jinfeng chimed in, “Your cousin also took the exam this year, I called your aunt and asked, he only scored a little over three hundred points too! I heard the exam was particularly difficult this year, we are overjoyed that you scored 510 points!”
Describing Li Wei as the Golden Phoenix of the Li Family is not an exaggeration at all!
Li Wei said very seriously, “Dad, Mom, I’ve made up my mind, I want to retake the exam. I hope you can support me.”
“What?!” Li Dongliang thought he was hallucinating.
“I want to retake the exam.” Li Wei emphasised each word.
Qian Jinfeng touched Li Wei’s forehead, “Son, do you have a fever?”
That’s more than five hundred points after all!
A score that most people cannot reach.
Repeating a year sounds easy, if luck isn’t on his side, he may not even get 510 points! That would be really embarrassing.
Li Wei said very firmly, “Mom, I don’t have a fever, I’m very clear-headed. I want to retake the exam!”
“Why?” Li Dongliang asked.
Qian Jinfeng was also looking at Li Wei with great anticipation.
Li Wei continued, “Because my ideal score is above 620 points, and my desired universities are Qinghua University and Beijing University. Mom, Dad, please support my decision to retake the exam.”
“No, I don’t agree.” Li Dongliang disagreed.
For Li Dongliang, just being able to attend a first-tier university was very satisfying, there was absolutely no need to retake the exam for a 985 project University!
“Mom doesn’t agree either, it’s a waste of time and tuition to repeat a year. What if you fail the exam? Won’t that make our family the laughingstock?” For Qian Jinfeng, that seemed like too much of a risk, so she refused.
Moreover, at this time, there was no tuition-free policy. To repeat senior 3 year, it would cost two hundred yuan for tuition and textbooks, not to mention other miscellaneous expenses.
With these two hundred yuan, wouldn’t it be better spent on buying big spare ribs for dinner?
This hardware store run by the Li family had an annual ine of less than 3000 yuan.
“Mom, Dad, with 510 points, I can only attend an average first-tier university. After graduation, I won’t even be able to find a good job. But 985 project universities are different, with a degree from these institutions, I can get a job in a government department immediately after graduation. Isn’t the aim of your supporting me through my education so that I can have a good future?”
This remark slightly swayed Li Dongliang, as those working in government departments are all officials.
Looking back three generations in the Li family, none of them have ever been officials.
If Li Wei could bee a high-ranking official, wouldn’t that be prestigious?
Li Dongliang continued, “Xiaowei, what if you don’t get into a 985 project University?”
“I won’t fail.” Li Wei continued, “With my score of 510 as a foundation, and repeating another year of senior 3, how could I possibly fail? Dad, you don’t need to worry about this at all.”
What Li Wei said made sense.
Qian Jinfeng asked, “What if the exam questions are harder next year?”
Li Wei laughed, “Mom, you don’t need to worry about that at all either. Our teacher said that this year had the hardest exam questions in the past three years, and next year won’t be harder than this year. Also, I will continue to study during this repeating year, even if I perform worse, my score will absolutely not be lower than 510 points!”
After wavering for a long time, the couple consented to retake the exam, swayed by Li Wei’s persuasion.
Upon hearing the news of Li Wei’s decision to retake the exam, even Teacher Yin was quite surprised, but Li Wei insisted on retaking the exam, so he could only respect his choice.
Because no one took care of the hospitalization fee, Li Xianxian was forced to discharge herself from the hospital.
