"Mom, what were you doing last night? Why did you come back so late? ”

In the restaurant, Xiaobao looked at the absent-minded Ji Ran and asked, I don't know why, Xiaobao always felt that her mother was weird today, as if she had something on her mind, but she had never been like this before.

"Mom? Mom, I'm talking to you......" Xiaobao saw that Ji Ran didn't respond, and shouted a little unhappily.

At this time, Ji Ran came back to his senses and looked at Xiaobao embarrassedly: "What?" What did you say? ”

"Mom, I asked you what you did last night? Why did you come back so late? Xiaobao repeated.

Thinking of what happened last night, Ji Ran's cheeks were slightly hot, and her expression was a little unnatural, which made Xiaobao feel that her mother must have experienced something unusual last night.

"Mom, aren't you going out on a date when Dad isn't home?" As soon as Xiaobao said this, Ji Ran's heart jumped.

"Mom, Dad is so good to you, don't do anything to be sorry for him, otherwise Dad and I won't forgive you." Xiaobao looked up at Ji Ran and continued.

Ji Ran frowned in embarrassment, "What are you talking nonsense?" When have I ever done something sorry for you both? Don't guess. ”

Xiaobao saw that Ji Ran was a little angry, and didn't dare to say more, so he lowered his head and bit the straw and drank the juice.

"Xiaobao, you don't care about the affairs of adults, you just need to study hard." Ji Ran said to Xiaobao.

Xiaobao pursed his lips and let out a stupid sigh.

"Didn't mom raise you so big so that you could discipline mom, you know? It's enough for you to take care of yourself. Ji Ran said.

looked at Ji Ran's unhappy appearance. Xiaobao can't say anything more, it's going to rain and the mother wants to get married, and it's not something that Xiaobao can manage. As long as mom is good to herself.

"There are still a few days to participate in the National Idiom Competition, you must work hard, and when the time comes, you will face the outstanding players of the country, everyone is full of economy, and you can't take it lightly." Ji Ran told Xiao Baodao.

"Oh, got it, Mom." Xiaobao nodded obediently, at the same time. The big black eyes rolled and looked at Ji Ran again.

"Mom, if I get a good result in the national competition. Can you reward me with something? Xiaobao looked at Ji Ran and asked.

Hearing this, Ji Ran smiled, this kid hasn't competed yet, so he wants to be rewarded. But. The son is so smart, it is not too much to ask for a reward.

"Tell me, what reward do you want?" Ji Ran asked with a smile.

"Mom, I want a reward of three thousand." As soon as Xiaobao's words came out, Ji Ran was startled, how could a child ask for so much money when he opened his mouth?

It's not that Ji Ran can't afford it, but Ji Ran really can't figure it out. What does a six-and-a-half-year-old child do with so much money?

"Why do you want so much money?" Ji Ran asked strangely.

Xiaobao didn't say anything, just looked at Ji Ran with big black eyes. As if longing for Ji Ran's consent.

Looking at Xiaobao's pitiful eyes, Ji Ran didn't hurt Xiaobao's heart, in comparison, Xiaobao is more worry-free than other children of the same age, whether it is study or life, Xiaobao is more sensible than children of the same age, he wants so much money, maybe he has his own ideas.

As a mother, you should still believe in your son, thinking of this, Ji Ran nodded lightly: "Okay, if you can achieve good results in the national competition, I will reward you with three thousand yuan." ”

Hearing this, Xiaobao was overjoyed and laughed happily, "Mom, a word is a certainty." ”

Xiaobao stretched out his little finger and pulled the hook with Ji Ran, looking at Xiaobao's happy appearance, Ji Ran couldn't help but think of Senior A Zhi, Xiaobao is Senior A Zhi after all, as Xiaobao gets bigger and bigger, he looks more and more like Senior A Zhi, especially when he laughs now, it really seems to be.

If Senior Ah Zhi knew that he had a son who was so smart and clever like him, he would be very happy, right?

"Mom, pull the hook!" Xiaobao watched Ji Ran staring at him stunned, and shouted with his little hand.

Only then did Ji Ran come back to his senses, stretched out his little finger with a smile, and said to Xiaobao: "Okay, hang yourself on the hook, and you won't change for a hundred years!" ”

After getting Ji Ran's assurance, the stone in Xiaobao's heart finally fell to the ground, and he happily ate the kebab.

A few days later, the 15th National Idiom Contest finally began, which is an annual Chinese literature contest with unprecedented scale, aiming to strengthen the learning and understanding of Chinese culture among young people through the idiom competition, and to correct people's misconceptions in the context of the non-mainstream idea that English is gradually replacing the Chinese language.

No matter at any time, Chinese culture will never die out, no matter how superior English is, it will never be able to completely replace the role of Chinese, and the splendid culture created by China's 3,000-year-old history will not be completely replaced in one or two generations or decades.

After the 15th Idiom Contest, teenagers gradually realized the essence and charm of their own culture, so that many teenagers and parents began to realize the importance of Chinese, and English was no longer as a major language more important than the national language as in previous years, but was included in the elective course, and the status of English as a foreign language was finally reasonably corrected.

According to the regulations of the idiom competition, in addition to the contestants, you can also invite your relatives to participate together, so that the contestants can not only feel the warmth, but also stimulate the sense of honor of the contestants to a greater extent, so as to play a better level.

The competition venue was set in the hall of the main building of the CCTV building, Ji Ran and Xiaobao's tutor Jiang Shan sat together, looking at Jiang Shan, who was quite a bit of a look, Ji Ran's eyes couldn't help but look at Jiang Shan a few more times, and Jiang Shan also felt very surprised after seeing Ji Ran, because Ji Ran was too young, if she hadn't known in advance that she was Xiaobao's mother, Jiang Shan would never have thought that she would be a mother with two children.

"Could she be Xiaobao's stepmother?" Jiang Shanwu thought to herself.

The two beautiful women sitting next to each other immediately attracted a lot of attention, especially the photographer in charge of the video recording of the competition, who always couldn't help but focus his lens here.

"The 15th National Idiom Contest is now officially started, and the following is to invite the jury of the contest to enter:

First of all, I would like to invite Professor Kong Qingxi of the Faculty of Letters of Kyoto University. When the host's voice fell, I saw a middle-aged man wearing a blue cloth shirt and short hair entering the venue.

The man was about forty or fifty years old, and he looked average, but he was quite graceful, and after the man walked into the venue, the venue immediately burst into warm applause, which showed the degree of his popularity.

When Ji Ran heard the name Kong Qingxi, his eyes lit up, because this name is not unfamiliar to Ji Ran, as early as when Ji Ran was in high school, he had heard of him, not only because Kong Qingxi is a professor of literature at Kyoto University, but more importantly, he has some connections with a certain Han, who is known as the leader of the post-80s literary world.

I remember when Ji Ran was in the first year of high school, there was a student who was extremely biased, which attracted widespread attention from the society, and that student was a certain Han who became famous later, a certain Han in high school, except for Chinese, the rest of the subjects were quite wasteful, but the composition was written well, he wrote a novel in high school, won the first prize in the new concept essay competition, and later wrote several works such as "Several Heavy Doors" and "Several Degrees below zero", and was praised by Professor Kong Qingxi as a genius boy who surpassed the genius of Peking University, so a certain Han became famous.

Although a certain Han did not go to Kyoto University as he wished, his later achievements were extraordinary, and now he has become the Taishan Beidou of the post-80s literary world, and has reached the point where he has reached the peak and has nothing to match.

It is precisely because Professor Kong Qingxi has a special relationship with a certain Han that when Ji Ran was paying attention to a certain Han, he also learned by the way that there was an associate professor named Kong Qingxi in the Faculty of Arts of Kyoto University.

Later, Ji Ran went to study at Shuimu University, and naturally heard some information about Professor Kong Qingxi from the teacher and senior brother, it is said that Professor Kong Qingxi is the first generation of grandchildren after Kong Shengren, which I can't remember very clearly, Professor Kong is not only a famous family, knowledgeable, and heroic, dare to tell the truth, do real things, and are not afraid of offending the powerful, therefore, he is known as a contemporary iron-clad true gentleman in the literary world.

In addition, Professor Kong does not envy power and wealth, lives freely, and is open-minded and wise, so people sometimes call him Master Kong or Monk Kong, of course, these are all praises for him.

Seeing Professor Kong enter as a judge, it was not only unexpected by Ji Ran, but also reasonable, unexpected because the idiom contest actually invited such a heavyweight as Professor Kong, and it is reasonable because it seems that only a character like Professor Kong will highlight the importance of this competition, and it seems that only Professor Kong is here to show the authority of this competition.

Professor Kong was the first to sit in the table amid the warm applause of everyone, and then the host announced: "Professor Kang Yuchen, the second judge, is invited." ”

Hearing this name, the venue once again burst into warm applause, because Professor Kang Yuchen is also a famous literary master in China, has been on the stage of the hundred forums three times, and has successively lectured on the three series of lectures such as "Poetry Immortal Li Bai", "Poetry Saint Du Fu", "Reading Su Shi" and so on, the lectures are witty and humorous, vivid and interesting, deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and is one of the talented men that Ji Ran likes very much.

At this time, seeing Professor Kang Yuchen coming in a spring breeze, Ji Ran's eyes couldn't help but light up, and his little heart couldn't help but jump up, although Professor Kang Yuchen was more than ten years older than Ji Ran, but his mature temperament and elegant demeanor still deeply attracted Ji Ran's attention.
