Before Jiang Shuiyuan finished speaking, he was slapped on the head by his mother Chen Fangyi: "What nonsense? Just raising you, my mother's heart has been broken into eight petals, and I don't know how many more gray hairs there are on her head." If you come back to the unconscious, will you still let your mother live?"

In China, it is true that the matter of letting parents have another child is not something that children can care about. Jiang Shuiyuan can only beat the side drum, and he can't persuade him clearly: "Father and mother, you should hurry up and make people!" In this way, it is light to say that the beating is light, and if you are not killed, even if your subordinates are merciful.

Of course, you can't tell them clearly: "Mom and Dad, I only have less than nine years to live, so you should hurry up and have another one!"

Jiang Shuiyuan didn't want to take any chances. Being imprisoned in a psychiatric hospital and not being able to stop taking medicine every day is a trivial matter, which makes parents anxious all day long, "I finally gave birth to a son, handsome enough, smart enough, but mentally not normal", then it is a big sin. So I can only occasionally reveal the idea that I want to have a younger brother and sister, and I will knock on the side and keep subtly to see when my parents will be able to change their minds, and maybe one day I will suddenly tell myself that there will be a younger brother and sister in the near future.

The next morning, when Jiang Shuiyuan came back from morning exercise, he found that his suitcase had been opened, and his mother was stuffing something into it, so he couldn't help frowning: "Mom, what are you stuffing into it?"

"I know that you like to eat drunken cream crabs the most, Mom, I specially bought a few more yesterday and left them for you to eat on the road later! Hurry up and come over to help, this little thing can't be stuffed in!" Chen Fengyi didn't reply.

Jiang Shuiyuan looked at the originally light suitcase being stuffed and said with a smile: "Mom, I'll just go to Jiangning for a week or two, how do you feel like you're going to sweep me out?"

Chen Fengyi straightened up and wiped the sweat from her forehead: "Look at the little things you packed! It's been going for more than ten days, just bring some toiletries and a change of clothes? Don't bring thick clothes, what if it rains and cools down? Don't bring spare medicine, what if you have a headache and fever? Don't bring some food, what if the food over there doesn't fit, or if you're hungry at night? It's good to be at home for a thousand days, it's difficult to go out for a while, don't be afraid of bringing too many things on the road, and when things come to an end, you will know what it means to be prepared!"

"Mom, can I—"

"No way!"

Jiang Shuiyuan was killed by his mother cleanly. In the end, Jiang Shuiyuan, whose arms couldn't twist his thighs, still dragged a suitcase full of his mother's strong love, and stepped on the train to Jiangning with Chen Di, Fu Shouzhang and others.

Coincidentally, the seats of several people in Huai'an Mansion were in the same carriage as the Xuzhou Mansion team that also went to Jiangning to participate in the competition. The five middle school students carrying large bags and small bags were too eye-catching, and as soon as Jiang Shuiyuan and the others sat down, one of them took the initiative to come over. The man had a black face and a short body, like Song Sanlang, and he was also very worldly, so he hugged his fists and introduced himself when he met: "Hello everyone, we are the Chinese culture debate team of Xuzhou Prefecture Huaihai Middle School, and we went to Jiangning on behalf of Xuzhou Mansion to participate in the provincial middle school students' Chinese Studies Difficult Selection Competition. You're supposed to be going to the tournament too, right?"

Shi Xuan has always been quick to speak, and without waiting for Jiang Shuiyuan to get up, he shouted: "Exactly, we are about to go to Jiangning for a while, the heroes of the world!

The man was not annoyed, and replied with a smile: "The next surname is Zhou Yuantong, who is the main general of the Chinese culture debate team of Huaihai Middle School, I don't know what to call this hero in person?"

Shi Xuan heard that the other party was the main general, and instantly wilted, and pointed to the water source of the river: "King to king, general to general, you look for him! He is our main general." ”

Zhou Yuantong suddenly puffed out his eyes, looked Jiang Shuiyuan up and down a few times, and asked in surprise: "What, do you Huai'an Mansion choose debaters based on their appearance? The one with the highest appearance should be the main general, the second one should be the second debater, and the worst one should be the substitute?"

As a substitute for Wannian, Shi Xuan immediately became anxious: "Can you speak? If you can't speak, don't speak! According to what you mean, who is the ugliest debater in your Xuzhou Mansion? The ugliest one is the main general, the second one is the second debater, and ordinary looks can only be used as a substitute?"

The free man Zeng Ping mended the knife and said: "No, I think it is also possible that according to the height, the shortest will be the main general, followed by the second debate, and so on, and finally form a series of equal differences." ”

Zhou Yuantong laughed: "You both guessed wrong, in fact, we are ranked according to skin color, I am the blackest, so I am the main general." To tell you the truth, I have always been very glad that there are no African-American expatriates in our Xuzhou Prefecture, otherwise I would have to give up the position of chief general!"

Jiang Shuiyuan admired Zhou Yuantong so much that he threw himself to the ground. To be able to tolerate others ridiculing one's own shortcomings requires a broad stomach and strong self-confidence; to be able to take the initiative to ridicule one's own shortcomings requires not only strong self-confidence, but also supreme courage! I think that I didn't even have the confidence to face the ridicule of others at the beginning, let alone the courage to take the initiative to ridicule myself! At that moment, he clasped his fists and saluted back: "At the source of the Xiajiang River, Xi is the chief general of the Chinese culture debate team of Huai'an Fu Middle School affiliated to Jingshi University. Just now, our two teammates used inappropriate words, and I apologized to Brother Zhou on behalf of the whole team, and asked Brother Zhou to do a lot of Haihan!"

Zhou Yuantong waved his hand and said: "I lost my words first, they are just directly reporting their grievances, why apologize? By the way, didn't Huai'an Mansion No. 1 Middle School represent Huai'an Mansion in the past? Why is it the turn of Feng Shui this year, and it is your turn to Huai'an Mansion Middle School affiliated to Jingshi University?"

Shi Xuan said lightly: "Is the No. 1 Middle School very powerful? In the first round of the knockout round, we met in a narrow way, and the result was easily defeated. ”

Jiang Shuiyuan said: "The strength of the No. 1 Middle School is indeed very strong, and in the past seven or eight years, they have been representing our Huai'an Mansion in the provincial selection competition. However, this year, they seem to be unlucky, and they draw a sign, coupled with the fact that it is difficult to pay attention to on-the-spot play in the theory of Chinese studies, and the chance is large, so we have picked up the leak. However, after they were defeated, they vowed to make a comeback next year, which made us very stressed!"

It's not that Jiang Shuiyuan deliberately admits intimidation, but he thinks that when everyone tests each other's strength before the game, they should deliberately hide it and show weakness, and when the other party despises you, looks down on you, and is unguarded against you, your opportunity will come. The so-called "what you can but what you can't" in "The Art of War" is exactly what you say. In order to be happy for a while, what good is it to boast that you are rare in the sky and unparalleled in the ground, so that your opponents regard you as a fierce rival in life?

Zhou Yuandao: "Brother Jiang doesn't have to be arrogant, since you can defeat them once, there will be a second and third time." Moreover, the No. 1 Middle School has represented Huai'an Prefecture in the selection competition for seven or eight consecutive years, and it is conceivable that it will flourish and decline! However, the strength of our Huaibei Prefecture is indeed weaker, and it is almost powerless to fight back in front of Suzhou, Songjiang, Changzhou, and other prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River. Since we are fortunate to meet today, it is better for everyone to learn from each other, exchange experiences, and broaden our horizons, so as not to laugh at the guys in Jiangnan who are above the top and laugh at us for not knowing anything. ”

"Yes, yes!"

Chen Di, Fu Shouzhang and others were very much in favor of this proposal, and then the two groups of young people got together and talked around the upcoming selection competition of Chinese Studies. It can be said that all the people who can participate in the provincial competition are masters who can speak well and have sharp tongues, and they don't know what shyness and stage fright are. Now they have their own temptations and shows, you come and I go, I ask you to answer, and in a moment they will become one.

Jiang Shuiyuan rarely spoke, and many times listened carefully to the other party's speech. Tong Guò observed for a while, and he already roughly knew that in addition to the main general Zhou Yuantong, the other four people were Fan Nanping, the second debate, Xiao Yuqing, the free man, Guan De, and the substitute Xiahou'an. Among them, Xiao Yuqing is a girl, which is also one of the rules of the Chinese Studies Difficult Competition, that is, each team must have at least one female debater.

Xiao Yuqing paid attention to the water source of the river from the first time they met, and wanted to provoke the topic to this super handsome general several times, but he easily resolved it in a few words. Everyone in the Huaihai Middle School Chinese Studies Debate Team knows that this little girl is not a fuel-efficient lamp, she refuses to accept defeat lightly, and she is eccentric, and she has one ghost idea after another. She blinked her eyes, and suddenly said, "Everyone has said what should be said, why don't we play a game with the two teams next and liven up the atmosphere!"

"What game?" Shi Xuan climbed when he saw the pole.

"Poetry Solitaire!"

The people of the Huaihai Middle School Chinese Studies Debate Team immediately smiled when they heard this. This kind of game is the most played game in their Chinese Studies Society, because through the guò game, you can not only master a lot of ancient poems, but also exercise your reaction ability and expression ability, which can be described as killing multiple birds with one stone. After a long period of training, they have explored a lot of solitaire tricks, such as what kind of words and verses can easily drive each other to a dead end.

"Poetry Solitaire?"

The group of people in Huai'an Mansion also smiled heartily: Who gave you the courage to play poetry solitaire with Jiang Da, who memorized "All Tang Poems"? In the past, I always wondered how someone could be so stupid as to throw themselves into the net and kill themselves, but now I have found out that some people are so stupid! Xiaoguliang, do you know how the word "death" is written?

"Yes, it's poetry solitaire!" Xiao Yuqing was afraid that the people in Huai'an Mansion would not understand the rules of the game, and took the initiative to explain: "The rule is that Party A says a poem of the ancients, and the last word of the poem must appear in the first half of Party B's solitaire verse, like the first two words of five words and the first three words of seven words, and so on, until one party can't answer." How's that, easy, right?"
