Chapter 1917 If the parents come to the school to cause trouble again, they will only bother him!
Zhang Ran took out ten yuan in loose change.
The second son's wife immediately beamed and reached out to take it, but Zhang Ran strode past her and walked into the first-grade classroom.
The woman hurriedly chased after him, but out of fear of Zhang Ran, she hesitated to go in at the classroom door. She saw Zhang Ran call her daughter, Liu Ni, to the podium and hand her the money.
"This is a reward for getting first place. I hope you will continue to work hard and maintain your first place in the next monthly exam."
Woman: There will be more next month!!
"Thank you, teacher!" Liu Ni excitedly held out her small, dark hands, holding the money, and excitedly tried to walk back to her seat, while the woman standing at the door kept coughing loudly.
Liu Ni walked over slowly and reluctantly handed over all her money.
The woman quickly accepted the money, not daring to look at Zhang Ran's expression, and hurriedly said goodbye before leaving.
Besides Liu Ni returning to school, the girl who ranked third in the exam was also personally brought to school by her father, and Zhang Ran also gave her two yuan.
Before classes started, several girls gradually returned to school, but more than half of the girls were still unable to return.
The principal stood silently in the corridor, watching everything unfold. He turned to leave, nearly bumping into Fu Qin. "Teacher Fu," he said, "the other classes didn't get any tests or rewards. I expect some parents will come to the school to complain in the next few days. Please keep an eye on things." Although Teacher Zhang paid out of her own pocket, the other parents didn't benefit and were bound to have their own grievances.
Fu Qin looked at him blankly, "No way, the third grade I teach also had a monthly exam this time, but I only rewarded the top three. I'm not as rich as Zhang Ran. The first place was rewarded with two catties of pork, the second place with one catty of pork, and the third place with a fish."
Principal: "..." So if parents come to the school to cause trouble again, they'll only bother him!
Even the naive Fu Qin could tell that something was wrong with the principal's expression, and she asked hesitantly, "What's wrong? Did we do something wrong?"
The principal's smile was more bitter than bitter: "Was this how you all went to school before?"
Fu Qin nodded. "Good grades mean tuition is waived, and the school gives scholarships. There are rewards for monthly exams, the high school entrance exam, and the final exam." From junior high to high school, she was always in the top class, where the exams were incredibly competitive. Sometimes, when she did well on tests, her parents would give her extra rewards, so she studied even harder.
The principal, exhausted from listening, gently reminded them, "This is a poor mountain village; there aren't so many rules here." It's a blessing that the children can even attend school. Some families can't afford the tuition and have to sell their crops to pay it. The school is so poor it can't even pay the teachers' salaries, let alone any kind of bonuses.
"I understand." Fu Qin nodded.
The principal, seeing that she didn't understand what he was saying at all, was exhausted and waved his hand, indicating that he had to go teach the second grade.
Halfway through the class, older students came to the principal, saying that Teacher Jiang hadn't come to teach them and what they should do.
Teacher Jiang was already slated for dismissal, and his unexcused absence provided a convenient excuse to fire him. The principal then allowed them to study on their own for one class period.
After class, the principal approached Zhang Ran and asked, "Teacher Jiang didn't come to class. Will you be teaching his class instead?"
Zhang Ran shook her head, "The second grade is right next to the first grade, I'll teach the second grade."
The principal nodded in agreement, "That works too."
Sure enough, after school, some parents came to the school to question the principal about why their child, who had come in first place, had not received a reward.
