On Saturday, for some students, it seemed that even the clear sky began to float in the dreary air, and a depressing drizzle began to fall in the city. You don't need an umbrella to walk in this kind of rain, but after staying in an open place for a long time, you will be covered with a layer of white sugar.

Li Qihua personally led the team and led the six students who were selected in the preliminary round to Tianmang Primary School early. The building structure of this elementary school belongs to the type of continuous operation, and the football field, the football field, and the school building are seen from the main gate. There are two school lanes on the left and right sides of the entrance, and on the outside of the school road are dormitories for teachers and students. In order to save parents' precious time, Tianmang Primary School has opened a student lunch break dormitory in the school.

At this time, 40 outstanding students from various urban districts gathered together in the field. They were all dressed in casual clothes, and they were all grouped together, and it was easy to fall out of the school camp. Before the doors of the teaching building opened, they gathered on the edge of the field and sat on the cement stone circle under the roots of the trees to rest for a while.

The twenty or thirty students gathered under the largest mango tree, all dressed brightly, with red lips and white teeth, knew at a glance that they were the participating teams of Tianmang Primary School. This school has the largest number of students participating in any competition in any year, and half of the students who graduated from Tianmang Primary School have won municipal awards.

This time they participated in the semi-finals of the Olympiad! Even if you just get the Excellence Award, it is a municipal award, which is enough to add a stroke to Xiao Shengchu's resume.

As we all know, the Olympiad medals are awarded according to the proportion of results, sometimes a city will not even grab a second prize, sometimes you can win four or five first prizes in a row. If a student can win the first prize in the semi-finals of the Olympiad for three consecutive years, the door of Nanhua No. 2, No. 3 and No. 4 Middle School will be open to him. If they still win a place in the national competition, these awards can be used as a stepping stone to the first high school, and the school rarely rejects such a good student.

Most of the students of Tianmang Primary School will carry one or two stepping stones when they graduate. At least 50 percent of their students have won municipal awards when they graduate, regardless of the way they are used, making it a source of interest for parents with school-age children.

Just like the comparison of the number of people participating in the semi-finals of the Olympiad now. Pingnan Primary School is slightly thinner than Tianmang Primary School, Xiangtang Primary School is even more shabby in terms of numbers, and the number of students in the poorest Qingshan Primary School has reached 16. If Limu was there, he would definitely sigh - no wonder Aoyama Elementary School can compete with Tianmang Elementary School after the completion of the financial district.

On the eve of entering the examination room, the students were gathered by the various team leaders.

"Rest assured to take the test later, the teacher is waiting for you outside, the teacher will support you well or not, don't go home by yourself after ......the test," Teacher Li began to mobilize before the exam.

From time to time, she looked at the school gate of Tianxiao, the strongest seed player in Pingnan, Limu had not yet arrived. He had been informed in advance when he was at school, but he had trouble sitting on the bus, and all kinds of waiting would take him a lot of time, so he planned to ask his mother to send him over. The result has not been seen until now......

"What will happen next will be the moment when we change our fate, are we weak——? No! We are better than other schools, we are even better than Tianmang! We just couldn't get good enough facilities! Breakfast is not nutritious enough! But we have great heads! ”

At the same time as Teacher Li mobilized, the teacher of Qingshan Primary School also launched an impassioned speech, completely ignoring the face of Tianmang School, as if he was declaring war with Tianmang Primary School.

"Do the questions you know how to do, check until the last side and come out, for some students, this is likely to be the last time you win the prize, let's work a little hard."

Tianmang Primary School is at ease, and occasionally lone students have joined their team one after another, and the number of students has reached thirty-six after the last two students converged!

The teacher of Xiangtang Primary School looked at the teams of several schools next to him, patted the little shoulders of the only two shortlisted students weakly, and said to the two protégés in a sighing tone:

"Effort...... Come on......"

Thirty minutes before the test, the test room is officially opened.

In the first 20 minutes, all the students had entered the school building.

******

"Ouch, Limu, you can come, hurry up, hurry up, No. 1 exam room!" Teacher Li saw Limu get out of the car at the door, and immediately rushed forward to urge.

There were about fifteen minutes left before the exam, and it was clear that it was long overdue, but it was still realized that it was early for Riki to enter the examination room. The table posted on the door showed that he was sitting in the middle, and he walked leisurely with a pencil case.

The students of each school were evenly distributed among the examination rooms, and Riki found that he was the only one in the No. 1 examination room who was a student from Pingnan.

Sitting in his seat, he recognized several students at Aoyama Elementary School at a glance, not because they were acquaintances from earlier or old friends in the future, but because they were all thin-skinned and wearing the uniforms of elementary school students.

The poorer the children, the more diligent they are, and the ordinary clothes are a little old and dare not wear them, so they simply wear the school uniforms they usually use in class.

According to rumors, Aoyama Elementary School may also wear such clothes on Saturdays and Sundays. Rikina served as the fourth cousin of the student president at Normal University, and after graduation, she was poached by Qingshan Elementary School to become a teacher with generous treatment. I told him at a family gathering that Castle Peak Primary School was very poor at that time, but the math teacher worked tirelessly to give students free math Olympiad training every week.

It was the last era of struggle for dreams after going to the mountains and going to the countryside during the special period.

Later, Qingxiu District developed into a financial district, and most parents from outside could afford to pay for it, so the training classes began to be carried out only for the children of the gold-collar class.

The Olympiad training course is divided into ordinary classes and top classes. Poorer students have to make a living by picking up the debris of the financial district, and they are barely able to study, let alone attend training courses. While the development of the financial district has brought prosperity to schools, it has also brought disaster to poor students, and it is difficult to say whether economic development is good or bad.

In short, wealthy parents often send gold-plated tableware and gold wire wood carvings and other objects to their fourth cousin's house, just to take more care of their children during class.

In Limu's memory, most of his own fruits were supplied by his fourth cousin's family at that time. Every Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, parents send dozens of boxes of fruit to her home one after another. The parents said that if they bought too much and didn't eat it, it would rot, and the fourth cousin was not easy to refuse; The fourth cousin said that if there were too many piles at home, they would rot if they didn't eat them, and their mother Li Xiuli was not easy to refuse.

Farmers in the less affluent suburbs serve carefully selected golden pumpkins in autumn and winter.

Deliberately rub it with cooking oil to make it shiny, and then tie a knot with a ribbon.

Don't charge? On the contrary, it hurts their hearts, making them afraid that they are not polite enough, and that their children will be wearing small shoes at school and staying at home in fear.

Received? If we don't have a conscience, we really don't covet that pumpkin, and in the end we give it to our relatives to eat.

In fact, it is the same whether parents give gifts or not, to paraphrase the words of the fourth cousin - "I am almost annoyed to death by my parents!" ”

But no, uninteresting parents give gifts directly at school. This can't be collected, and a box of fruit is immediately distributed to other teachers to eat, and it will be too tiring to carry it home. When the family piled up a pile, she had to call her relatives to get it, but the relatives were not short of this fruit money, and even Limu, who was in the career selection period, would repeatedly shirk it, so she always had to think of giving it away before the fruit rotted.

Pingnan Primary School also has a situation of gift-giving, but there are very few parents in Pingnan who give gifts, and it is difficult to develop a gift-giving atmosphere for the time being, and there is no situation where they are "forced" to give gifts due to psychological pressure. Tianmang Elementary School is an aristocratic school, and it is estimated that there are more people who give gifts, at least Limu knows that her aunt gives gifts to teachers two or three times a year.

- It's better to be poor, the gap between the rich and the poor is small, and you are living in a tight situation but you are very happy.

Just as Riki was thinking this, a strange thought came from the table on the right. He turned his head to look over, and saw a tall and thin student clenching his fists flat, like the "first set of the first style" of military physical boxing practiced by Da Shengnan!

INTERVIEWER You think it's called a lunge, right?

Because he only occasionally flipped through the book when he was practicing, Riki wasn't quite sure about the name of this trick. In short, the right fist is violently rotated forward from the waist and rushed, at this time the fist is downward, and the left fist is closed at the waist, and the left foot steps forward.

However, the tall and thin brother adopted the posture before the move at this time, with his hands tucked at his waist and his fists upward-

#我能行, I can win! I can do it, I can win! I can do it, I can win......

Nod your head with each thought, and your fist rises and falls once.

- Ah, young students.

Without too much emotion, Riki withdrew his faint gaze. But it didn't take long for a strange thought to come from the back left corner.

#打倒他们, it's all paper tigers! Down with them, they're all paper tigers! ……

- God, Qingxiao is opening aoe!

Riki looked back to the left back, and he was wearing a school uniform for the exam, and he also looked like a pole, and he couldn't see the dark circles under his eyes because his skin was a little dark. His cheeks were sunken like those of a hungry man who hadn't eaten for months, and his eyes seemed to be sunken into their sockets due to lack of water.

Seeing this, Riki retracted his idea that "it's better to be poor". But I can't help but wonder - is that really hungry? It's not made up on Saturdays and weeks, is it? After all, the country has not yet reached the point where it cannot eat rice, otherwise there would have been turmoil long ago under Maslow's theory of five levels of need.

However, Qingxiao's behavior is finally unbearable!

#fuk, which school, it's noisy.

This time, it was the national scolding that came out from behind Limu, and the voice was louder, and the two people who were thinking about it must be able to hear it. The proof is that their voices are getting quieter and quieter, but they still haven't stopped their terrible aoe group taunt* group attack skills.

#我能行我能赢, I can do it, I can win...... I can do it, I can win, I can do it, I can win......

#打到纸老虎, down with the paper tiger...... Hit the paper tiger, knock down the paper tiger......

#妈的, fukfukfuk is noisy, damn it.

The scolding students probably saw that their swearing was useless, and they were very mindful of Qingxiao's annoying behavior. Riki seemed to hear the sound of gnashing of teeth behind him, the loud pressure or the creaking of his front teeth......
