The bell at the end of the exam sounded like a hammer on the hearts of the students of the provincial middle school.

Watching the two invigilators leave the classroom with the test papers, the hearts of the candidates present were a little depressed.

For no other reason, the difficulty of this test is too scary.

Except for the three liberal arts subjects of Chinese language, history, and Western literature, ordinary candidates cannot write the answer sheet at all.

None of the three science subjects are easy, and most students can't even solve half of the questions.

In addition to some basic questions in the front that can be seen at a glance, the later questions often have hundreds of words, and the conditions for reading are the same as not reading, as if they are deliberately making things difficult for candidates.

Fortunately, Bao Guowei played very well this time, solving many complex problems in a row, although he felt a little haggard, but his mood became very comfortable.

Twisting his somewhat sore wrist, Bao Guowei cleaned up the scratch paper and stationery on the table and left the examination room.

As soon as I came out of the examination room, an autumn wind blew in my face: dead branches and fallen leaves floated in mid-air, green branches swayed on the big trees next to the school, and flowers and leaves collided with the sound of "huh".

Smelling the fresh air blowing in the autumn breeze, Bao Guowei suddenly felt relaxed and happy, and the fatigue accumulated in the previous few exams was all gone.

In the middle of the No. 1 and No. 2 teaching buildings, there are three iron billboards.

This is known as the "Hall of Fame", and every time there is an important exam, the names of students with excellent grades are selected and registered, and they often stay for several weeks, which can be said to fully mobilize the enthusiasm of students who want to make a name for themselves.

Now there is still a blank on the list, but Bao Guowei seems to have seen his name in the first column - maybe it is still the first place.

The bell announcing the end of the exam was still ringing, and the students walked out of the exam room in a sparse manner.

After a long and difficult exam, the atmosphere in the school seemed a little dreary.

Bao Guowei's examination room is on the first floor, and the fourth class is on the second floor, and he is preparing to return to the class and wait for the instructions of the chief teacher.

As soon as he went up the stairs, he was blindfolded by a man from behind:

"Guess who I am?"

It's a familiar sound—it sounds a bit cheap.

"Xu Weiye?"

Hearing Bao Guowei's words, Xu Weiye immediately let go of his hand:

"Baozi, how many A's can you take this time?"

Hearing Xu Weiye's question, Bao Guowei smiled slightly-to be a man naturally knows how to be humble.

If you say that you are confident that you can take the sixth grade, it is easy to hurt the hearts of others, and secondly, it seems that you are too arrogant, it is better to ......

"This exam is so difficult, I'm afraid I won't even be able to get a single A."

Regarding Bao Guowei's nonsense, Xu Weiye can be said to not believe a word.

"I don't believe it, don't say anything else, you can definitely get a first in arithmetic and chemistry! Gewu, I heard that you are also good at it, at least the top three! ”

"Then let's be three."

While speaking, Bao Guowei had already gone up to the second floor.

……

According to the usual practice, students will undoubtedly have to answer the correct answers after the exam.

It's just to know if I'm doing the right thing and where I'm in the class, or maybe it's just to have peace of mind, just to hear a sentence - I won't do this question.

Therefore, as soon as he arrived in the classroom, Bao Guowei found that many students in the same class had gathered in twos and threes to discuss the academic test.

Someone somewhere found some blank test papers, looked at the questions on the test papers and discussed.

"How much is the penultimate problem of this object? How many meters is this small plank long? ”

"The penultimate question? Don't be kidding, I won't even do the third question! ”

"I'm even worse, I won't do the second question on the front, it's called finding a uniform circular motion to find angular velocity, and the radius is not directly given, but also using geometric knowledge to calculate, it's disgusting!"

"I only finished writing a dozen questions on the front, and the difficulty was indeed a bit high, and the reverse side was closed before I had time to start writing."

A student who solved more than a dozen questions seemed to realize that his level was very good among his classmates, and he opened his mouth to show off, and naturally there was an exclamation.

"The penultimate question, I tried this question, solved it for half an hour, and the answer I solved was...... There are more than 80,000 under the root number. ”

The classmate wearing a white scarf and a black suit whispered.

This answer directly silenced the surrounding people - how many are 80,000 meters under the root number?

But no one around was laughing at him, after all, no one had done it yet.

Suddenly, someone saw the "King of Science" in the class appear, and their eyes turned to Bao Guowei:

"Baozi, do you know how many meters the answer is?"

Bao Guowei took a look at this question, after all, his memory is very good now, and after thinking about it for a while, he remembered what the answer he wrote was:

"Four.6 meters."

The small wooden board with a length of 4.6 meters is very in line with common sense, considering Bao Guowei's level of physics, the students all have a high probability that this answer is correct.

"What about the last question? What is the linear velocity? ”

"Twice the root number of three meters per second."

Hiss! Everyone gasped, this last question even has five or six lines of questions, and there are at least two or three hundred words in a rough count, can you really make it?

……

Under the surprised eyes of several classmates, Bao Guowei returned to his seat, and he opened the extracurricular chemical engineering books and continued to study.

Soon, Guo Chun came to the seat, and there was a reddish-brown little sugar man in his mouth:

"Bao Guowei, how did you do in the exam, are you sure about Liuding Liujia?

Anyway, my task was completed, and I wrote all the other subjects except for Chinese language and history. ”

Guo Chun's tone was very relaxed, as if he didn't care about his upcoming door.

"Probably so."

Before the end of school, Instructor Shen came to inform another chilling thing:

"Let me inform you in advance, the results of this exam will be made into a book, notified to parents, and asked parents to sign and bring back to school.

If you can't bring it to your parents, you can fill in your home address and the postman will send the leaflet to your parents. ”

As soon as these words came out, it undoubtedly dealt a blow to the hearts of the students who were already depressed.

"It's over! I'm probably going to have to live on my money! ”

"What's the panic, sign it yourself when the time comes, or find a maid at home to sign it!"

When the children of poor families outside the school are "earning a living" or even "struggling for their lives", the life of students in the new school is undoubtedly much better.

The only trouble is the parental discipline at home.

……

Today is undoubtedly Lao Bao taking a rickshaw to pick up Bao Guowei home - he is in his fifties, and he often suffers from cold when he is young, so his legs often hurt like knives in autumn and winter, so it is naturally not suitable to move around often.

Although not long ago, Bao Guowei was a little unacceptable to this kind of transportation that treats people as "cattle and horses", but recently he has gradually become accustomed to taking human-powered vehicles.

He knew that he had gradually integrated into this somewhat cruel era, this era of class division.

"Have you hired a servant in the family now?"

Bao Guowei leaned on the back bar of the rickshaw, still holding a hot meat bun in his hand, which Lao Bao bought.

"I've recruited two, and I'm already home today."

Even in a high-cost area like Shanghai, the salary of a maid is often only about two or three yuan.

Compared with Shanghai, although Suzhou is not far apart, the degree of economic prosperity is very different, and prices are always much lower.

Therefore, Lao Bao gives people two and a half yuan of salary, and there are naturally many people who are willing to do it.

Sitting on the rickshaw, Bao Guowei looked sideways at the surrounding streets and pedestrians passing by.

I inadvertently saw a stock exchange, and the billboard was mimeographed with white characters on a black background that U.S. stocks were available for purchase - this made Bao Guowei feel good to his heart.

If we talk about the stock market, the Great Depression in Eagle Country will be two years later, and the economic crisis will inevitably lead to a sharp rise and fall in the stock market.

Those who know about the Great Depression know that one day in October 1929, the Eagle Nation would usher in a stock market crash, known as "Black Thursday."

Of course, no matter how much information is packed, Guowei does not know, only that the end of this crisis is probably in 1934.

Up-down-up, in any case, as long as you know the general trend, it means that there are two chances to make money.

Bao Guowei undoubtedly has one more hole card on his body, this matter is not in a hurry, he still has nearly two years to prepare.
