Chapter 1682 I Will Take the College Entrance Examination
Xu Ju acted like she had heard the biggest joke in the world. Qiao Mei actually wanted to take the college entrance examination! A country b.u.mpkin intended to take the college entrance examination!
"When you were in the countryside, did your family send you to school?" Xu Ju asked as she looked at Qiao Mei curiously.
Typically, families in the countryside would not let girls go to school. They would give such good opportunities only to the boys. After all, the school fees cost an amount of money which could feed the family for a month.
"My grandfather taught me for a while and I also went to school for a period of time," Qiao Mei replied factually.
She would take the two to three days she spent in elementary school as having gone to school. Besides, in her other life, she graduated with honors from a major university and had even received a doctorate in law! She would definitely be able to pa.s.s the examination if she put in more effort one month before the college entrance examination!
"You hardly learn anything in that sort of school. At most, you know a few more words than others. It's simply wishful thinking for someone like you to want to get into university. You'd better ask Xia Wen to get you a recommendation letter so that you can also go to Capital University! You won't get a chance next year! My Xu Jiao can also help you if you enter at the same time," Xu Ju said as she looked at Qiao Mei mockingly.
Qiao Mei had no expression but everyone else in the Xia family looked at Xu Ju angrily. Even Wan Wen glared fiercely at Xu Ju. What right did an illiterate person like Xu Ju have to lecture Qiao Mei in this manner!
Just as Xia He was about to stand up and speak up for Qiao Mei, Qiao Mei grabbed Xia He silently. Then, she gave Xu Ju a kindly look and said, "Thank you for your concern, Eldest Aunt. You don't have to worry about me taking the college entrance examination. However, Xu Jiao will need to put in some effort in the coming days. I hear that Capital University has an entrance test. If you can't pa.s.s the test, you have to keep taking it!"
This piece of information was true. Moreover, it was also Xia Wen who had suggested it to the princ.i.p.al of Capital University many years ago. Many people who did not finish elementary school could still find a way to go to high school and then source for a recommendation letter to enter Capital University by way of cla.s.s background. This was very bad for the university's standards and also greatly increased the teaching staff's workload.
These were all university professors, but they had to teach the students elementary school subjects. It was really ridiculous.
After being reviewed by many different departments, Xia Wen's proposal was finally implemented two years ago. As it had only been implemented for a short period of time, very few people knew about it.
"What! I've never heard of it! Is this test very difficult?" Xu Jiao asked nervously.
"It's not difficult. It's probably the same level of difficulty as your final exam, but the requirements are quite strict. You have to pa.s.s all the subjects. I believe that with your outstanding results, you can definitely pa.s.s the test easily. There's no need for you to worry," Xia Wen said with a smile.
For Xu Jiao's course of study, Xia Wen had chosen physics. It was the most difficult course at Capital University to gain admission. Their entrance test was also the most difficult one in the entire university. He wanted to see if there was any truth to Xu Jiao's outstanding results.
"Why didn't anyone tell us anything about this? Why didn't we know earlier! Are you lying to us!" Xu Ju asked agitatedly.
"How can we lie about something like this? Of course it's true. It's just that it has only been implemented for a short period of time, so not many people know about it. You can't blame us for this," Xia He said.
"Eldest Aunt, don't worry. Those test questions are very simple. Isn't she one of the top students in her high school? She will definitely pa.s.s. Don't worry!" Xia Wen said.
Xu Jiao grabbed Xu Ju's arm out of fear. If she could not pa.s.s the test, did that mean she would have to keep taking it? That would make everyone laugh their heads off!
Xu Ju shook off Xu Jiao's hand angrily. She had really shot herself in the foot this time. If this wretched girl's results were as good as Xu Man's results, would she need to come and beg these people?
"Xia Wen, you used to be a professor at Capital University. You must know the examiners, right? Tell them to be more lax and just admit Xu Jiao. We're so familiar with one another, so why does it need to be so formal?" Xu Ju said as she looked at Xia Wen fawningly.
Xia Wen shook his head and said sternly, "Eldest Aunt, the Xia family has always been fair and just. I've already made it easy for you. The Xia family has already written a recommendation letter for Xu Jiao. The rest will have to depend on Xu Jiao herself. Otherwise, if word gets out, it will be bad for the Xia family's reputation! You have to see things from our side!"
