"Then you must work hard," Cheng Baokun said, hearing Zhu Yanyi’s idea. She made a fist-pumping gesture. "If you join the Youth League in middle school, you can surely apply to join the Party in college." She added, "Strive to be an activist. Of course, I will work hard too."
At that time, the quality of activists in schools was quite high. It was not like in later years, where activist status often depended on connections. Back then, one truly needed special strengths to be chosen. For example, to be a "Three-Good Student," one had to excel in morality, intelligence, and physical fitness. A study activist had to be outstanding in academics, even if other areas were weaker. The same applied to sports activists.
Zhu Yanyi smiled slightly. "I plan to be a top student. Being an activist will be easy for me."
"Top student?" Cheng Baokun looked confused.
"A king in studying is called a top student," Zhu Yanyi said, her small face very serious. "There is also a term 'study god.' A god of studying is a study god. I want to be both a study god and a top student. Watch me, Godfather. I will not let everyone down."
Since the day she was reborn, Zhu Yanyi had set a goal for herself. She must study seriously and become a true top student. Most of what she had learned in her previous life, except for some basic elementary knowledge, had long been forgotten. So, she started relearning everything from the beginning. She could not waste this chance of being reborn.
Now, she had already self-studied university courses. For her, simple knowledge was no longer enough. So, she would expand her learning scope. Someone once said, "Live and learn." Learning has no age limit. As long as one is alive, one can keep learning.
The next day, Cheng Baokun packed Cheng Chen’s luggage first. Then, she and Chen Ailian came to the Zhu family home. Zhu Shunyao had also prepared their things. She and Cheng Baokun loaded Zhu Yanyi and Zhu Yanli’s luggage onto the three-wheeled truck. Then, they all got on the truck. Their mother, Xie Xinlian, did not go. Although the truck could seat six or seven people, their luggage took up a lot of space. With five people going, it was already very crowded. So, Xie Xinlian decided not to go. Besides, she knew her two daughters were much more capable than her. With Chen Ailian accompanying them, Xie Xinlian was not worried that Zhu Yanyi and Zhu Yanli would fail to settle in.
The three-wheeled truck was not fast, but because there were few vehicles on the road, there was no traffic jam. They arrived smoothly in the city center.
Cheng Baokun got off first and said, "Let’s go check the class assignments for the children first. We will register and handle the procedures, then come back to get the luggage and go to the dormitories."
"Okay, I’ll listen to you, Brother," Zhu Shunyao said, having no objections.
They left the luggage on the truck, with driver Xiao Wang watching it. The six of them got off and went to the bulletin board nearby to check the class assignments.
On the blackboard of the bulletin board, the class assignments for new students were posted. There were only four classes for the new seventh graders in the city center this year. There was no distinction between excellent classes and ordinary classes yet. The school mixed excellent students into every class, and also mixed weaker students, trying to make the level of each class similar. This way, they could compete on an equal footing.
