……

As time went on, the Q&A session of the Primary School Group came to an end, and the moderator decided to give the last opportunity to ask questions to parents.

As soon as these words came out, the parents of the students raised their hands enthusiastically. Two of the ladies seemed to see the pattern of the moderator's selection of questioners, and even stood up and raised their hands. This was a clear violation, as one of them was on the far left of the back row and the other was in the middle of the left row.

The two people who stood up at the same time made it difficult for the host to choose, and Suo handed it to a temperamental beauty who was sitting in a position and raising her hand in a decent manner. Unexpectedly, the lady standing in the middle bent down and reached out across two positions to snatch the microphone.

The host who was robbed of the microphone was stunned, but fortunately, the reaction was quite new and fast, and he immediately said the words of the round.

"It seems that this Q&A is of great benefit to everyone, this mother is so positive, what questions do you want to ask?!"

But in the face of a fair-skinned hand that another temperamental beauty next to him had just stretched out and hadn't had time to take it back, the host felt annoyed and embarrassed. It was himself who handed out the microphone, he was the one who didn't hold the microphone steady, and he was the one who couldn't take the microphone back, and it looked like he was a wretched person in front of others.

Microphone snatching has happened before, but never so annoyed him as this one. However, the host's literacy made him unable to even fight back verbally, so he could only let her put the microphone to his mouth and ask questions.

"I want to ask Riki-san, how old are you this year?"

The person who snatched the microphone was also a temperamental woman, probably in her thirties, with butterfly-shaped silver earrings on her earlobes, and no other decorations. The clothes may have been carefully selected for the ceremony, so they looked very appropriate, with the temperament of a foreign congresswoman.

However, the tone of her questioning was not so much a question as a question, or even an exaggeration to say that it was not to be disrespectful.

…… She didn't ask about studying, but went straight to asking about age.

Everyone noticed the strangeness, and then the strangeness became a question, why did she ask like that?

"Auntie, I'm ten years old."

The doubt turned into doubt here in Limu, and he suddenly remembered Grandma Li's original instruction to claim to be ten years old at all times.

"I'm asking about your actual age! Exact age! She put on a posture of pursuing the matter to the end, staring at the pear wood on the stage.

- What is her intention ......?

"Auntie, I'm ten years old this year." Riki hurriedly tried to divert her gaze, her aggressive attitude was really unbearable, "Auntie's time for answering questions is running out, if you don't have academic questions, please give the microphone to the aunt next to you, she seems to have an important question to ask just now." ”

Her act of snatching the microphone just now was seen by everyone, and it looked like a woman who wanted to find fault, and Riki didn't want her to continue to hold the microphone anyway.

"Yes, lady, if you have any other questions, please return the microphone to me." The host finally confirmed that she was not eagerly seeking answers, but came to pick quarrels and provoke trouble.

Regardless of her justifiable reasons, maintaining the stability of the award ceremony until the end of the award ceremony is an important responsibility of the host, and she is not allowed to mess around at the venue. The host stretched out his hand in front of her, but she didn't take the initiative to return the microphone, and was forced to be anxious and asked Limu directly.

"Don't you dare to say yes? Not over 10 years old, right? I was weird from the start—" she confidently spoke her own words, and in an instant she brought all the issues out of the table.

"Why are you so small when you're standing with someone else? At most, you're only past the age of free admission, so let's see, are you seven or eight years old?

"It's useless to lie, you will know this kind of thing as soon as you ask the organizing committee, is the organizing committee also tired? No wonder my smart son won the second prize......"

Riki looked at her silently, with a thoughtful look, until she told the reason for this time.

- The reason was that her son did not appear in the list of first prize winners.

Riki moved her lips slightly, and finally stepped back from the podium and walked silently towards the side of the stage. Arguing with someone on stage only made things worse, and in fact he knew he wasn't being reasonable.

The primary school group is 10~13 years old. Contestants can sign up exactly as a 10-year-old or as a 13-year-old the day before, even if they grow up to 13.5 years old in the next six months, after all, as long as they are still of legal age at the time of registration.

However, Riki did not meet the minimum age standard for registration either at this time. 10~13 years old to participate in the primary school group, 13~16 years old to participate in the junior high school group, 16~19 years old to participate in the high school group, usually others are eager to press the line to report the lower group, but it is impossible for Limu to report down. Is it possible to have a toddler group?

It doesn't matter if he takes the 10-year-old exam at the age of 9 in normal times, and that's how he signed up for the third grade in the past. In order to charge more registration fees, the organizing committee also secretly acquiesced, and no one expected that children who were three years younger could pass the exam than teenagers and girls who were three years old.

However, there is really such a person here, he won the championship with the weak knowledge reserve in the third grade of primary school, and he also achieved a perfect score! At this moment, Limu stood at the top of the pyramid, standing in such a conspicuous place in front of the stage. Once you become a celebrity, any previous mistake can become a fatal wound.

――What is that sentence called...... Don't pretend to beep, pretend to beep and be struck by lightning.

Riki shook his head and laughed at himself. It's because I'm not good enough to keep myself up, so I should find an excuse for stomach pain to avoid going on stage, and now I can only hope that the organizing committee will not cancel my qualification for the award.

As for the lady's accusation, it is actually a matter of course, and Riki herself can understand her feelings, and she can be said to have broken the rules by opening the plug-in in a certain way.

The children who participated in the Olympiad basically extinct their playful natural surname.

When I was in elementary school, I used to "play paper-scissors" with my friends in the hallway during a short recess. If the teacher doesn't drag the class, play "smashing waves" (a kind of dodgeball with hairballs); If you are free, play "Peek-a-boo" and "Catch Ghosts". If you can't get together more than three playmates, you can only play "playing glass beads", and "playing cards" was also a fun game at that time.

These games ...... Some of the students present may not have even played one or the other.

Gifted students and poor students don't matter. Those students whose learning ability is not up to the same level and whose family finances are okay have been studying Olympiad mathematics since the second grade of primary school. Usually, no matter whether it is windy or rainy, parents will send their children to study. Parents and children are working hard, and parents are naturally very happy that their children can reach the national finals.

--I finally made it to the finals in the sixth grade, but I was won by a student who was less than 10 years old.

Such a contrast must have been very disappointing to the parents of the participating students.

Limu remembered that Guan Siying's mother was such a parent in the past. It was already when Xiaoliu was preparing to graduate, and at that time, various Olympiads were in full swing, and there was a small invitational tournament called "Into the Kingdom of Olympiad Mathematics", which was incomparable with the CMO National Competition.

It was such a small event, but Guan Siying was deeply impressed......

At that time, Guan Siying passed the preliminary round, and on the day of the finals, her mother sent her to the door of the test center, but Guan Siying couldn't find the participation card. Her mother's plea to the test center staff was ineffective, and in the end, Guan Siying lost the chance to the finals. Because Guan Siying held the admission ticket, she was always afraid that her mother would think that she didn't want to take the exam and deliberately got it.

Her mother stood outside the test center for an hour that day, ignoring her. Now that I think about it, she stood outside the examination room for an hour, and it was really unkind to be angry with her daughter in this indifferent form.

But Kwan also felt the mother's strong desire to see her daughter in the finals.

Then on the New Year's Day and the three-day holiday, the Customs Commission for Discipline Inspection has not had much rest -- just because she accidentally lost her Olympiad card a week ago and missed the finals, in order to appease her "heartbroken" mother, she didn't go anywhere on New Year's Day for three days, so she lay down at her desk to do Olympiad questions, just to "make amends" to her mother.

-- Both mothers and children have lost their normalcy before the heavy pressure of going to school, and they have gone from normal to abnormal.

After helping the woman find an excuse, Riki pursed the corners of her mouth in a very good spirit, and relaxed her expression as if she had untied some knot.

Wujun Muzi on the stage also walked out of the podium and followed behind Limu to prepare to leave.

Just when Riki wanted to leave the scene silently, the woman refused to stop the matter and make a fuss. She felt that she had to get justice for herself and her children in person.

"What? Want to run if you have a guilty conscience? It's your teacher Li who is helping with this, isn't it? ”

"Yes, it's his teacher Li, didn't he mention it many times just now?"

"It must be the teacher."

It turned out that the two women who stood up had the same idea, and echoed each other.

"Is there a cat?"

Your words and my words actually caused other parents to change their faces greatly, and they wondered if someone had leaked the question to Limu. Some parents speculated that the senior management of the organizing committee had an unclean relationship with Teacher Li.

"Could it be that someone in the organizing committee has a leg with his teacher Li?"

"Yes, it must be."

"My daughter is in the sixth grade, three years older than him, and she is studying at the North High School..."

"My son participates in a training class of 10,000 yuan, how can he not compare to him!"

The official CMO of the National Mathematics Olympiad is too big! Most of the winners are fifth-graders in small regions and sixth-graders in large regions, and almost all of them are graduates. Limu stepped on the first place, and the rankings of more than 200 students were waiting to go down one place. If you can pull Limu off the horse, maybe the third prize will become the second prize, and the second prize will be promoted to the first prize......

"Yes, it must be based on the relationship, the relationship between him and Teacher Li."

Hearing the lady mention Teacher Li Qihua, Li Muzheng stopped his steps.

There is a saying that one is a teacher for life, and the other is a teacher for life.

"What about the respected teacher, pretending to be five or six people, it's quite like that, but it's actually full of belly......" Her words became more and more difficult to hear.

Parents and classmates were also guided by her to whisper below.
