Chapter 132: Departure for the Competition
Are you tired of reading?
Tang Mingyao felt that this should be divided.
Some people like to read, and when they get in, reading is a kind of fun;
Some people are reading, their minds are not on studying, they are barely completing tasks every day, and they have a headache when they see books, so they may or may not be tired;
There are also some people who do not have enough understanding, and they can never master the necessary learning skills for reading, and they are exhausted every day, so they are naturally really tired.
Tang Mingyao felt that after being reborn, he belonged to the first type of people, so he was not tired of studying.
And Luo Wenxi belongs to the third category of people.
The talent point is not in the study, this thing is really painful.
Even Tang Mingyao didn't have a solution, you must know that he had already taught Luo Wenxi all the learning methods he knew a long time ago, but the girl was still very tired after learning, and it was difficult for her grades to rise, so he could only stare dryly on the sidelines.
At most, one or two sentences of relief: "Your grades are already very good, there is no problem at all in taking the first middle and high school exams, and even going to the city to take the provincial key middle school is enough, don't be too demanding of yourself." ”
However, this kind of relief only has the effect of two seconds at most, and after that everything is the same as before, whether it should be stressful or stressful, whether it should be bad or not good, it is useless.
So Tang Mingyao had no choice but to take advantage of the winter vacation to take Luo Wenxi around to take a break and divert her attention.
Soon it was late January.
The semi-finals of the New Concept Essay Contest are about to begin.
His parents were afraid that Tang Mingyao would be delayed on the road, so they bought him a plane ticket two days in advance.
On the day of boarding, he got on the train with his father early in the morning and went to the provincial capital first.
The plane was more than six o'clock in the evening, and it was still early to arrive in the provincial capital, so the two of them went to the wholesale market first, replenished the stock of several stores, and by the way, they searched for new, cute and fashionable gadgets and added them to their purchase list.
After shopping to the airport, Tang Mingyao waved goodbye to his father at the security checkpoint, boarded the plane alone, and a few hours later, appeared on the street of the Oriental Pearl.
The night is neon, like a dream.
This is the prestigious Dashenghai in the TV series.
The semi-final notice stated that the venue of the rematch was a school in the city, which was quite close to the sprout magazine, Tang Mingyao took a taxi directly to the vicinity of the competition venue and found a hotel to live in.
In this era, participating in the New Concept Essay Contest is still a novelty, and the organizers do not provide room and board, so it is not as easy to find an organization as it was 20 years later, and you can come a few days in advance to communicate with other students who also come to participate in the semi-finals and meet friends.
Tang Mingyao came alone, checked in alone, ate some supper, did half an hour of exercise intervals, mainly to move his limbs, and also did a few sets of push-ups and sit-ups.
Get up the next day, complete the reading task first, and then go out to school to step on something.
The competition is tomorrow afternoon, and there are already quite a few contestants here today.
As soon as he arrived at the school gate, Tang Mingyao met several students who had the same purpose as him.
Basically, they are accompanied by a parent.
When everyone meets, they know each other's hearts.
Tang Mingyao walked into the campus and soon found that a mother and son were chasing after him from behind.
This is a shrewd mother with a small place, dressed plainly, dragging her tall, somewhat introverted son, and chatting enthusiastically: "Classmate, you are also here to participate in the essay contest?" Oh, so are we, you'll all be together in the future, let's get to know each other. ”
Tang Mingyao said politely: "Hello." ”
"Hello, my name is Zhou Liqin, this is my son Jin Wei, who is in Group A of the third year of high school...... Which group are you, lad? What about your family, you came alone? Native? Let's go, do you know where the playing field is, we're all going to get lost. ”
Tang Mingyao did not answer positively, but said: "It's my first time here, let's take a look at the layout of the school first." As for the competition venue, it is either in the teaching building or in the activity lecture hall, just look for it. ”
"If you want it, we will go with you!"
So the mother and son were very cheeky and followed Tang Mingyao around the school and directly took him as a tour guide.
Tang Mingyao was a little speechless, but he didn't rush anyone.
After turning around and walking out of the school gate, he politely said goodbye to them: "Goodbye two!" ”
The mother dragged him and didn't let go: "We are all participating in the competition together, let's have a meal together." Classmate, do you have anything to do, do you have any places you want to play in the afternoon? We're together, so please be our guide. ”
Tang Mingyao resolutely refused to eat with these two people, and said, "I still have something to do, so I won't be with you." If you want to travel, you can go to the Bund or the Oriental Pearl TV Tower, I heard that these two places are not bad. ”
Throw them off and go to eat alone, after eating, I was going to go back to the hotel to rest, but it was boring to think about it, so it was better to go out for a walk.
Coming to the city for the first time in two lifetimes, the Oriental Pearl TV Tower is a landmark that should indeed be visited.
took a taxi, arrived at the ground, and was about to queue up to buy a ticket, when he heard a familiar voice behind him: "Young man, you are here too, what a coincidence, I said, we should be together, you see that you came alone, it was a waste of fare." ”
Tang Mingyao turned around, still the same woman.
He had a little headache and wanted to leave, but he came and went, and it was a bit hypocritical to go.
So I decided what to do and just ignore her.
However, the other party chattered endlessly: "Do you want to go up and visit?" It's really high here, let's buy tickets together, let's invite you? Walk around, line up to go. ”
When queuing, her introverted son, who was bored in front of the line, was pulled by her and dragged behind Tang Mingyao.
Tang Mingyao was speechless.
Auntie, you said that you were a treat, and you deliberately hid behind when you bought a ticket, what do you mean?
Do you want me to invite you?
He didn't say anything about it, it was his turn, he took out his student ID, bought a ticket and left.
When he entered the door, the young man named Jin Wei followed and entered the door with his front and back feet. Jin Wei said: "I'm sorry, my mother is ...... She doesn't have a bad heart. ”
Tang Mingyao nodded in understanding.
looked at the back, only Jin Wei came in, and his mother didn't come, so he asked, "You went up to see it alone?" ”
Jin Wei scratched his head: "My mother was reluctant to pay for it, so she only bought a ticket." I have a student ID, which is much cheaper at half price. ”
Tang Mingyao felt a little more relaxed.
This mother, although annoying, is still very motherly and reminds him of his own mother.
The two took the sightseeing elevator up, looking at the scenery outside, while occasionally chatting for a few days to relieve their tension.
learned from Jin Wei that they were also from the southwest, but they were from Shancheng, and this was the first time that their mother and son had gone far away, and they were actually quite afraid of the big city.
Tang Mingyao said that it is the same everywhere, he can read the map, and he is not afraid to go all over the world.
The huge building complex was gradually revealed at his feet, and his eyes were getting farther and farther, Tang Mingyao stood at an altitude of more than 260 meters, and suddenly found that he could see it so far away, and his legs were a little weak.
After coming down, I said goodbye to Jin Wei.
Then he went to play elsewhere, but he was not too tired and returned to the hotel early to rest.
When I entered the school for the semi-finals again the next day, it was more formal, the banners had been pulled up, and there were staff at the school gate to guide me.
Tang Mingyao followed the guidance to the gate of the arena and lined up to register.
