The children played in Xijiang Park until dark, and then Mr. Jiang led them back.

During the day, I was racing and strolling, and I was tired, and I slept very soundly at night.

After eating the next morning, the schools that did not advance to the finals basically went home, and the rest of them participated in the finals.

The finals of the village elementary school are simple, and they still answer the questions in groups of three, and the total score is accumulated.

The winner with the highest total score in the preliminary round and the final round will only be selected for one winning prize.

The trouble of the central primary school, the first round of questions are drawn according to the group, and the top five groups in the total score will also have a round of rush answers.

This is a test of knowledge reserves and on-the-spot reaction speed.

Fortunately, Xu Haiyuan's mentality has always been very stable, and with the two girls in this group, they must grab every question, and they have been breaking through all the way and successfully won the first place.

When the judges announced that Donggang Central Primary School had won the first place, Mr. Jiang's tears of joy in the audience were about to fall.

This semester, the teacher took the children to memorize the questions every day.

On Saturday afternoon, other children have a holiday, and these children have to go to school, which is really hard.

The children's hard work was not in vain, and they won the first place.

The finals are over, and the winning rankings are out soon.

A teacher read out the list of winners on the spot, and let the award-winning students and teachers come to the stage to receive the awards.

The group award is a certificate of merit, the first, second and third prizes, and the instructor comes up to receive the award.

In addition, there are individual student awards, which are arranged according to the results of the two answers.

Xu Haiyuan deserved the first prize, and the prize was a hard-shell notebook and a fountain pen.

Mr. Jiang took six students from two groups to take pictures together with the awards.

This is the end of the game, and after lunch, everyone packed their things and went to the bus station.

Fusong Passenger Station is in the north of the county, next to the department store, Xinhua bookstore or something.

The car back was more than two o'clock in the afternoon, and the time was still enough, so Mr. Jiang led the children to the department store to take a walk around and play.

As a result, as soon as they walked to the staircase on the second floor, several girls were scared.

"What is this? Why are the people in there like ghosts? ”

"That's a haha mirror, in fact, it's a concave mirror and a convex mirror.

Through the mirror curvature to change the reflection imaging, it can elongate and thin people or shrink and become fat. ”

It turned out that at the staircase on the second floor, there were two haha mirrors, one convex and one concave.

When a person walks in front of a convex mirror, it becomes thin and long, with two ends large and small in the middle.

If you go to the concave mirror, you will become short and fat, with small ends and large middle, and a fat man round.

Xu Haiyuan glanced at the mirror and explained to the girls helplessly.

It's so stupid, a big living person can scare the mirror, what's so scary about this thing?

Hearing Xu Haiyuan say this, these people were all interested.

A few girls looked carefully in front of the mirror, and made all kinds of strange expressions towards the mirror, making them laugh.

This is also the origin of the name of Haha Mirror.

The children played in front of the haha mirror for a while, and then went up to hang out.

In fact, shopping is also for nothing, there is no money, you can only take a look.

Even so, the girls were very excited, pointing to the clothes and talking about it.

There is a yellow gauze skirt, several layers of that kind of flash, which is very good-looking.

A few girls looked at it for a long time, and when they asked the salesman, they said that it was fifty yuan, which frightened the children to stick out their tongues and turn around and run.

Xu Haiyuan has no interest in shopping, there are some clothes, shoes and socks upstairs, and there is no shortage of younger brothers and sisters at home.

So the group walked out of the department store, Xu Haiyuan said hello to Mr. Jiang, turned around and entered the Xinhua bookstore.

After going around here, there is nothing to buy, and now the Xu family's books are almost more varied than those in this Xinhua bookstore.

In the past, every time Xu Shiyan went out, the place he had to go was the bookstore.

Chinese and foreign classics, all kinds of popular science books, as long as it is suitable for children, he buys them back.

In addition, Xu Shiyan found textbooks from various universities and Chu Xuanhuai's collection.

It can be said that what is in the bookstore, the Xu family keeps it, and what is not in the bookstore, maybe the Xu family has it.

In this small bookstore in the county seat, Xu Haiyuan turned around twice, but he couldn't find the book he wanted to buy.

In the end, I had no choice but to come out empty-handed, and at this time the train was about to depart, and Mr. Jiang led the children to check the tickets and get on the bus.

At half past two, the bus departed, returned to the Songjiang River at four o'clock in the afternoon, and then hired a donkey cart to send the children back to the Donggang Martyrs' Tomb, and the children went home separately.

"Oops, my eldest grandson is back. What's the game like? ”

Zhou Guilan and Han Cai'e are leading Xu Jinping and a few girls to make dumplings at home.

This is a classic project of the Xu family, no matter who comes back from going out, the meal that the old lady must cook is dumplings.

Su Weizhong happened not to go to work today, and Han Cai'e and Han Cai'e also came over to make dumplings for Xu Haiyuan together.

"Grandpa, grandma, grandpa, grandma, grandpa.

The competition was very good, it was very smooth, our school won a first prize, and there was a certificate from the teacher.

I also won the award, the first prize of the individual, no certificate, only prizes. The elder asked, and Xu Haiyuan replied in a proper manner.

"Oh, in-laws, listen quickly, we have won a steady stream of awards.

It has to be my eldest grandson, just okay, I can win a prize in the county competition. ”

When Zhou Guilan heard this, she was very happy, and the wrinkles on her smiling face were much deeper.

The old men and women in the house were all happy, and their smiling faces were like flowers.

"Quick, hurry up and rest on the kang, we'll finish wrapping dumplings here soon, and when your parents come back, we'll cook dumplings and eat."

Han Cai'e hurriedly beckoned her grandson to go to the kang, and the more she looked at the grandson, the rarer she became.

"My family, you are blessed, you have such a good grandson.

Look at it, Yuanyuan is a good learner, obedient and sensible, and he studied medicine with Mr. Chu, and this kid will definitely be great in the future.

and Pingping, that kid too, will not be bad in the future.

What do you think these two children are like? Why is it so good at studying without others having to worry about it at all? ”

Han Cai'e was making dumplings while chatting with Zhou Guilan.

"That's right, the ancestral grave of the old Xu family is smoking, I don't know how many lifetimes it will take to come out with such two children."

When Zhou Guilan said this, she deliberately glanced at Xu Chenghou's side.

She didn't mean to belittle anyone.

The old Xu family has been up for three generations, and I have never heard of anyone who is good at reading, and it is indeed not easy to come out with such two children who are good at reading.

Xu Chenghou listened to his wife's words, and he was not annoyed, he still smiled.

"If you don't talk about me, you have to go back to your hometown and pay respects.

Ask for the blessing of our ancestors, the future generations of our Xu family will be promising, and a few more college students will be regarded as honoring the ancestors. ”

When the old couple said this, everyone else laughed.

While talking and laughing, the dumplings are almost finished.

Zhou Guilan looked at the time and estimated that her son and daughter-in-law would be back in a while.

"Let's go, let's boil the dumplings."

In the morning, I told the two of them that the children would come back from the competition today and eat dumplings in the evening, and they couldn't come back too late. ”
