"To be honest, people who are generally interested in competitions have been cultivated since elementary school. Like you, starting from the first year of high school, well, the quasi-first year of high school, it can be said that it is a little late. Because it means you only have just over two years to prepare. The first year of high school is used to lay the foundation, the second year of high school is used for actual combat training, and the third year of high school produces results, and it must be good luck, and every step is very solid and smooth, so that it can be so ideal. ”

"There's no way, on our side, whether it's Yunjiang City or Nanming City, the competition atmosphere is not very good. No one has the awareness of competition, even if they have the talent in this area, if they want to engage in competition, they are self-taught, and there are no instructors who specialize in competition. So much so that for more than ten or twenty years, I haven't even entered a winter camp. ”

"But fortunately, you were admitted to Huafu. Huafu is a provincial Olympic school, the competition conditions are very good, there are special competitions for the Olympiad, there are many masters, IMO gold medals have several. It's just that I heard that you went to Huafu from other urban areas, and you went as a student in the innovation class, and you can't directly enter the Obana. ”

"Non-Olympic students do not show extremely high talent, it is difficult to enter the line of sight of the competition instructor, and it will be difficult to be shortlisted for CMO."

"Therefore, if you want to take this path, you are still a monk halfway, there is no foundation for competition, and you must be mentally prepared to encounter difficulties and setbacks. After all, there is no student who can go down this path and go to high school without extraordinary talent. If you want to fight your way out of the encirclement, it may be more difficult than taking the top prize. ”

On the way home, Senior Brother Ming's words kept intertwining and echoing in Lu Xi's mind, and he didn't stop until he returned home.

Once the car was parked, she opened the trunk and moved the books out of it. The books are one set after another, and there are often several or a dozen books in a set, some in blue, some in black, and even in red, and there are seventy or eighty books, including the 26 high school math textbooks that are ready to be returned.

Among these books, the older ones are "High School Mathematics Competition Training Course (One Try)", "New Middle School Mathematics Problem Solving Methods" series and "Olympiad Classics".

Some of them look like they have just been bought from a bookstore, and they are so new that they don't even have many traces of flipping through them.

For example, a series of books called "Lectures on Proposition People in the Mathematical Olympiad", a total of 12 volumes, Senior Brother Ming said that because it was too difficult, he bought it and pressed the bottom of the box, and he didn't read it much.

Another example is a set of "Mathematical Olympiad Small Series", the difficulty can only be regarded as entry-level, but because the number is too large, there are as many as 14 volumes, and he has only skimmed a few of them.

Half-new is a set of two copies of the "Mathematics Competition Research Course", the front is more turned over, and the back is basically not much moved.

"When I started to teach myself the Olympiad, I was so happy that I thought that the more books the better, so I bought them all when I saw and heard that they were good. I didn't expect that in the end, there are only a few books that I can read and understand. ”

Lu Xi looked at the dozens of books sent by Senior Brother Ming, and couldn't help but think of what he said.

"I'm back."

The third brother Lu Jichen's words sounded from behind, but he saw Lu Xi driving back, so he walked over.

"Where are so many books, don't tell me that I got them from the garbage bin?" Lu Jichen saw so many books and said with a smile.

"Do you look like these books were picked up from a garbage bin?" Lu Xi asked angrily, okay, relatives visited, and her temper was good, and it was not her intention to be angry.

"Not like, not at all." Lu Jichen heard his sister's ominous words, and immediately surrendered, "Do you need me to help?" ”

"I really need someone to stand by and command, and then make a plan for moving, otherwise I'm worried about getting lost."

Lu Jichen didn't expect to say too much and make a mistake, so he hurriedly shut up, but he read a lot of books, and couldn't help but say: "I only read twenty or thirty volumes last time, and I borrowed so many more, can I finish reading them?" ”

"The books are all sent by a senior brother who was admitted to Sun Yat-sen University, what does it matter if there are more, read slowly, there will always be a day when you finish reading."

Having said that, Lu Xi also thought so.

The reason why she taught herself mathematics was that she was idle and had nothing to do at first, but when she learned it, she felt pretty good, and she had Senior Brother Ming's suggestion, so she wanted to explore it further. Because of curiosity and interest, I didn't have the idea of quick success, let alone overnight.

What Senior Brother Ming said, lay a foundation in the first year of high school, train in the second year of high school, and produce results in the third year of high school. Although learning mathematics has become a hobby, since you have decided to follow this path, it is inevitable that you will gain some results in addition to studying.

The book is available, and Lu Xi followed the instructions of Senior Brother Ming to read the first "High School Mathematics Competition Training Course (One Try)".

Senior Brother Ming said solemnly, and she didn't plan to take it easy. When she was reading this Peiyou tutorial, she looked at it with a research eye, and no longer pursued the speed of brushing questions. Therefore, even if it is an example problem, I don't look at the solution first, but solve it myself, and then compare the solution of the example problem to see if everyone's thinking is the same.

If it is different, where is the wonder of the other party's solution, and is there a deep meaning? In this way, we constantly ask questions and explore, and constantly summarize our thinking methods.

Of course, this introductory tutorial with a lot of thickness is not very difficult. Lu Xi consciously slowed down, but it was still very fast.

"Hey, come down quickly, help me drive the goose into the water for activities."

Because Lu Xi reads books every day, except for eating, sleeping and some trivial things in life, which is not much better than studying at school, so that her mother and brother are a little worried, afraid that she will burn her body, so every evening she will use various excuses to "trick" her out of the room.

No, Lu Jichen went to the company and was not there, so Deng Yufang called Lu Xi down from the upper floor on the grounds of chasing geese.

said that it was to catch geese, but in fact, the two big white geese raised by my mother, as long as Lu Xi held the fresh wheat vegetables picked back, the goose that regarded the vegetables as their fate would automatically pounce on them. She only needs to take the vegetables a little higher, go to the stream, and the goose will follow, and the goose will be driven away, and it will be done very simply.

In the evening, the sun sets in the west, scattering the forest, and the light and shadow are infinitely good.

The stream that flows next to the Lu family's house is more than two meters wide, and the water is clear, deep and shallow. The goose tasted the freshness of the wheat cabbage, and when they got to the water, they happily performed "Song of the Goose", and the upper reaches of the creek were the summer paradise for the children in the village.

As for Lu Xi, she was also prepared.

In the middle of the stream, there is a tall longan tree on the side, the tree is lush like an umbrella, fruitful, leaning on the stream, the shade under the tree is very cool, she opened the book she secretly took down, sat on a smooth bluestone under the tree, soaked her feet in the water, while riding the gentle breeze, while reading comfortably.

Between far and near, the sound of running water, the cry of geese, and the cheers of children playing in the water are not heard.

(I have something to go out today, and I came back very late, but there will still be two shifts.) This is the first update, and the second update will be sent later! ）
