Learning Makes Me Rich

In January, Zhou Xiu went to city b to participate in the national mathematics training team selection, successfully stood out among 60 players and became a member of the national team.

Yude Middle School worried that Zhou Xiu's review of the college entrance examination would delay the International Mathematical Olympiad, but she still decided to take the college entrance examination in June.

The college entrance examination is the most unforgettable experience for every student, and Zhou Xiu doesn't want to miss it. First, she wanted to fight side by side with her classmates. Second, Zhou Cheng really wanted to see her take the college entrance examination with his own eyes. The previous generation was more traditional, and the concept of the college entrance examination was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In his and Liu Mei's opinion, only taking the college entrance examination can change their destiny, which is one of their few wishes.

One month before the exam, the test papers written by Momo were already half a meter high.

Yu Qingyan lost ten catties for the exam, and studying made her lose weight. Lan Xin's math broke through 120 points, and she was so happy that she invited the whole class to have dinner. .

In the hot summer, no matter how low the air conditioner is turned on, the students in the classroom are still sweating profusely.

Those students who had already received admission letters from foreign universities became the most leisurely group of people. Xu Qing had already received the admission letter from mit a month ago, but she also decided to end the college entrance examination because she was too free. Missli, the homeroom teacher, was very moved. Xu Qing's grades were stable in the top ten of the grade. As long as she took the college entrance examination, she could probably do well in the exam. This year, the head teacher's bonus will visibly thicken with the naked eye.

After Zhou Cheng recovered and was discharged from the hospital, the reserved items every night were to send refreshing soups and waters to the school, Baihe white fungus soup on Mondays, barley red bean soup on Tuesdays, mung bean seaweed soup on Wednesdays... Sometimes he would also bring some snacks , Gradually fed Zhou Xiu and his classmates to gain weight, and made up for the meat that Zhou Xiu lost last year.

Although Zhou Xiu's competition results are good, it is not easy to get a good ranking in the college entrance examination. When they were engaged in the competition, thousands of students were concentrating on preparing for the college entrance examination, and there were a group of top students in the fourth middle school who were only focused on the college entrance examination, and did not participate in the competition in order not to distract their attention.

Every effort will be rewarded, Zhou Xiu can't guarantee that he can beat them. Last year, there were 18 students who scored 700 points in the college entrance examination of No. 4 Middle School. She heard from Lu Liu that this year's No. 4 Middle School will only be stronger.

Zhou Xiu knew that her Chinese was not good enough, and she had to endorse a lot during the sprint stage. In the last month, she didn't have time to brush up on math, physics and chemistry questions, but she read a lot of books. Every day, she reads books such as Historical Records, Guwen Guanzhi, Warring States Policy, and Lu Xun's Anthology, frantically supplementing her knowledge of literature.

On June 1, Zhou Xiu celebrated his 18th birthday.

Her birthday was very simple, and she invited her friends to celebrate at home, blew out candles and ate cake, and then each spread out the test papers and took notes to review. Zhou Xiu tutored them.

After Yu Qingyan finished writing the test paper, she flipped through the answers and compared them, frowning and complaining: "Buddha's feet, Buddha's feet, you are too heavy, I can't hold you!"

The others are checking for leaks and filling vacancies, focusing on their own affairs. Xu Qing looked around and thought with emotion, these people used to be the least caring about their studies, but now they are grown up and sensible.

On June 7, all college candidates across the country walked into the examination room with their admission tickets.

Chinese in the morning and math in the afternoon.

Zhou Xiu wrote the Chinese questions for the college entrance examination fairly smoothly. Except for the reading comprehension questions, which took a while to get stuck, the composition was written very fluently. Maths in the afternoon was her strong point, and she finished writing the questions almost in one go. Zhou Xiu submitted the test paper an hour in advance after carefully checking it several times to confirm that it was correct.

Because of the early handing in of the papers, Zhou Xiu was surrounded by some unfamiliar parents of the students when she left the examination room, and hundreds of condemning eyes stared at her naked. Liu Mei, who was not nervous at first, started to worry, watching Zhou Xiu hesitate to speak.

The more Liu Mei thought about it, the more anxious she became, "Xiu'er should check for half an hour before she comes out. If you are too careless, you will easily suffer."

This is such an important exam...

Zhou Cheng was not worried at all, and his mind was very stable. Zhou Xiu never let them worry about her studies. It doesn't matter if you do well or fail in the exam, just try your best. Besides, it's a math test.

And Lao Wang...he was the calmest person in the audience at the moment, calling Zhou Xiu to dinner. I have seen such a big scene where they hand in the paper half an hour in advance at the CMO, and handing in the math paper for the college entrance examination in advance is nothing. Now he can not only ask her what she wants for dinner with a smile, but also ask her what the answers to some big math problems are by the way. , so that you can check the answers with other students later.

The parents of Yude's students looked at them with condemnation, and said cheerfully: "This is the top student of our school. The one who got full marks in this year's national mathematics competition is amazing. She must be fine if she handed in the papers in advance."

Parents from other schools finally came to their senses and hurriedly asked Xueba if his math was difficult this year, so Zhou Xiu had no choice but to drag her parents and run away.

On June 8, there will be a general exam in the morning and a foreign language exam in the afternoon.

Comprehensive reasoning is Zhou Xiu's strong point. After several checks, she still handed in the paper half an hour earlier. There are six languages ​​in the foreign language college entrance examination in city c, and Zhou Xiu chose English. She decided to take the IELTS test again after the college entrance examination, so she has been cramming for English for more than half a year. At the same time, with the intensive help of missli, she felt very smooth when writing the paper.

When she finished her English composition, she put down her pen and breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, she felt that her high school career was really coming to an end.

There will no longer be endless test papers, endless English words, and endless English listening comprehension. From now on, she will no longer have to get up early to catch the early bus at six o'clock in the morning, and she will not go home with her classmates after the evening self-study get out of class.

The test paper in her hand is about to become the last college entrance examination paper she ever writes.

Thinking of it this way, she felt very reluctant. Zhou Xiu pulled herself together and checked the test paper and answer sheet twice. After the bell rang, she waited for the invigilator to collect the test paper.

On the night after the college entrance examination, Class 24 booked a celebration banquet at the hotel. Xu Qing invited a well-known pastry mounter to make a giant cake. The three-story cake symbolized the three years they had gone through together. , 43 cartoon portraits were painted on the cake with meticulous and romantic brushstrokes, symbolizing every student in the class.

In fact, in the past three years, other classes have been continuously divided into classes, but Class 24 has not. At first, no one wanted to come because of its poor grades, and top students with good grades such as Xu Qing did not give up on it and go to Rockets class. Later, they were no longer willing to accept new students. The only surprise was that Zhou Xiu, who transferred in her sophomore year, also did not go to the rocket class.

Everyone raised their glasses and clinked together, "Cheers, the college entrance examination is over!"

We used to do things like escaping in a hurry, having fun, and running wild in the restless youth, but we also put away all distracting thoughts in the most restless age, and made every effort to achieve the same goal.

Long live the friendship, long live the friendship. Fortunately, none of us failed ourselves or the years.

The tidbits have grown up, drank some wine, and their cheeks are stained pink. She drank too much and cried, "Thank you Du Heng, thank you Xiuxiu. Without you, I would definitely not be what I am now."

If she hadn't seen Zhou Xiu studying hard, if she hadn't witnessed the light of Du Heng standing on the podium, she would not know how absurd it is to squander her youth.

Some people are confused when they are young, while others plant their ideals when they are young. Some people try their best to pursue it, while others are wasting their lives. The world is bustling, and everyone has a different way of living. Thank you for letting her see another wonderful possibility in life. Thank you for being excellent, they like her, and she likes them very much.

The cartoon characters on the cake are drawn according to the characteristics of each person. Although they are stick figures, they are very vivid and cute.

On the cake, Zhou Xiu is holding a book, Tidbits and Yu Qingyan are dancing, Xu Qing is typing on the keyboard, Tan Ming is playing the piano, Du Feiyang is playing basketball...

The waiter slowly cut the cake and distributed it to each student. Yu Qingyan asked for Zhou Xiu's piece of cake, and Tan Ming, who was empty, ate Du Feiyang's cake depressedly. Du Feiyang originally wanted to take a photo of his villain as a souvenir, but Tan Ming ruined it.

He was very angry after drinking too much, and asked Tan Ming to play the music like a villain on a cake, so that he could forgive him. Tan Ming had no choice but to have someone move the piano, and played the piano wantonly with his fingertips lightly.

Everyone jokingly wrestled into a ball, amidst the cheers and applause of the crowd, a female classmate blushed and invited Xu Qing to eat her own cake.

Xu Qing politely dug a small piece at the corner with a clean spoon, "It's delicious, thank you."

In fact, in the past two years, everyone can see who Xu Qing likes, and they can also tell that that person doesn't like Xu Qing that much. But it doesn't prevent Xu Qing from being very popular Xu Qing, who other girls have been secretly in love with for a long time. When he looks at the people on the bridge and the scenery, will he know that he has become the most beautiful scenery in the eyes of others?

Tan Ming played the piano indiscriminately, from the third piano concerto to the Hungarian Rhapsody, Kikujiro's Summer... the style of the music was chaotic, until he played Auld Lang Syne.

Many students couldn't help echoing the tune softly, "should auld acquaintance beforgot."

"and never brought tind. 1"

How can we forget our old friends, and how can we not miss them 2. Long live the friendship, long live the friendship.

Tan Ming looked at the familiar faces of the whole class, and it was hard to imagine what kind of separation the friends who had been together happily for three years or even longer would face in the future.

After half a month, they will go their separate ways and be scattered in every corner of the world. Put away the tired school uniform, press the school badge on the bottom of the box, and start another period of time. In the further future, they will speak different languages, and in different time differences, climates, and skin colors, they will occasionally flash back to the high school years in their minds.

How can I forget this period of time?

They will recall the days when everyone was scolded by Lao Huang as a waste of firewood and a scumbag, and they were filled with indignation, and they worked together to finally get him to stand on the podium to apologize to them.

They will think of the days when Class 24 gradually counterattacked from the worst class to the first place in the ordinary class. At that time, everyone worked together, from Zhou Xiu sorting out review materials, to tidbits printing materials for each student, the monitor supervised the review, and finally the whole class Envy all grades by passing the exam.

They will also think of the days when they secretly stuffed snacks and love letters into the drawer of the girl they had a crush on.

Tan Minghui recalled the days when he went to city b to watch the intellectual confrontation. At that time, everyone in the auditorium was uncontrollably nervous, cheering, excited, and yelled out their throats. The people who stood up and cheered were all for the calm and smart **** the field.

The moment Zhou Xiu translated the content of the mathematics conference accurately, she moved everyone.

She proved to them that there is nothing impossible in life, and what cannot be learned before does not mean that it will never be learned.

Suddenly, a melody flashed in Tan Ming's mind, and he flicked it with his fingertips. Later, he went home and wrote down the melody, spent a few days writing lyrics, and wrote a poem for the students in Class 24, the graduation song Youth. Later, the song became an instant hit on the Internet and became the graduation song of many classes. But that's another story.

After the exam, everyone was very happy. Many students were busy writing their classmates' records and exchanging contact information. The schools that were admitted made appointments for summer vacation graduation trips, drinking, and playing games. Zhou Xiu didn't drink. After eating, she received a call from the grade director, asking her to go back and evaluate her grades. So Zhou Xiu ran back to school and checked the answers carefully.

When she returned to school, she saw that the ground was covered with snow-white test papers and books, and there were still students in the corridor who had not dispersed, throwing the test papers accumulated over the past three years and shouting: "Liberation!"

"We've finished our college entrance examination!"

"Where are we going to celebrate later?"

Zhou Xiu smiled and walked to the teacher's office. The grade director handed Zhou Xiu the college entrance examination papers that had just been sorted out. She was very impressed after the exam, and quickly wrote down the answers of mathematics, physics and chemistry silently. The director let her go after finishing writing.

She went back to the classroom to pack her things and was going to take the books in the drawer home. There is no one in the classroom at the moment, and the surroundings are quiet. The students have all gone to the hotel to have a celebration banquet for the college entrance examination. After Zhou Xiu packed up her belongings, she took a glass of water to wipe the desk that had been with her for a year.

When she came back, she met two classmates in the corridor, and their voices were blurred by the night wind.

The speakers were Xie Cheng and Zhang Qi, and Zhang Qi asked in surprise, "They all went to X Jiang Hotel to celebrate, you came to find Zhou Xiu?"

"no."

"Thank God, do you like Zhou Xiu?" Zhang Qi sighed for a moment, and said, "I can see it when I count Auban. You rarely stay to accompany us to do homework."

"I heard that the monitor of their class is planning to confess his love to Zhou Xiu. He has been preparing for a long time. You still have time to go now."

Zhou Xiu had no intention of eavesdropping, but when he heard the conversation, it was too late to remind him, so he could only pretend that he didn't hear it.

Zhang Qi left after a while, and Zhou Xiucai came out from the dark place and returned to the classroom to continue wiping the desk. Her phone vibrated for a long time in her schoolbag, and Xu Qing sent a message, "Have you got the answer right? We'll go to KTV later, you probably don't know how to get there, I'll pick you up at school."

Graduation season is approaching, this kind of class activity is one less time, Zhou Xiu has turned down many group activities for study and competition before, now that the college entrance examination is over, Zhou Xiu will try her best to participate in the activities that can be participated. But thinking of the conversation just now, she sent a message to Tidaloo saying that she was going home.

Half a month later, the results of the college entrance examination were finally released.

At 10:00 p.m. on the 23rd, the official scoring system was officially opened, and before 10:00 p.m., Zhou Xiu's phone rang.

The grade director of the third grade was very concerned about Zhou Xiu's grades. Before 10 o'clock in the evening, she had already inquired about the news from the Education Bureau. Zhou Xiu did not disappoint her. The grades were really surprising!

Zhou Xiu took the second place in science in province C, with 150 in mathematics, 132 in Chinese, 136 in English, 299 in comprehensive science, and a total score of 717.

Unsurprisingly, Du Heng still ranked first, with a total score of 722. He did well in the Chinese test, scoring 140 points. The grade director looked down and found that almost all the students with a score of more than 700 were from No. 4 Middle School, with a few students from other schools scattered here and there. There are 20 students in No. 4 Middle School with a score of 700. The third place, Lu Liu, is two points behind Zhou Xiu, and Xie Cheng is ranked 11th, with a total score of 709.

She looked down from the high score list all the way, and felt the deep pressure. This is the strength of the nationally famous super high school. However, Zhou Xiu and Xie Cheng are also excellent children. They have proved that Yude Middle School is excellent, and their enrollment will definitely be better next year.

The grade director couldn't wait to share the good news with Zhou Xiu. Although she couldn't get through to Zhou Xiu's phone number, fortunately she still had Liu Mei's contact information, so she quickly contacted Zhou Xiu.

At this time, Zhou Xiu already knew her results, because the rewards from the system had arrived.

Ding, congratulations to the young man who won the second place in science in province c, rewarded with 100w

Zhou Xiu was very happy to hear the news, and the system asked her if she regretted it, and she was only five points away from Du Heng. Zhou Xiu shook her head. This score is already the limit of what she can do. Usually, her Chinese is usually around 125.

Not only that, Lu Liu's overall strength is no worse than hers, and Zhou Xiu's second place this time is due to luck besides a little strength.

After the grade director finished calling, Missli also called Zhou Xiu, but unfortunately her phone was always busy, so she sent a congratulatory message.

"Congratulations, your results in the college entrance examination are very good! By the way, I heard that you applied to Harvard. You are an excellent student. The teacher believes that you will have a good life there. I wish you a bright future."

She thought of the skinny girl who was doing her homework in the classroom two years ago. It was difficult for others to notice her stubborn back. At that time, she was surrounded by doubting voices, and she was always doing things that seemed meaningless to others. And now missli believes that no matter where Zhou Xiu goes, she will become the focus of others, and her persistence will make her shine.

Although it is difficult to walk alone in the dark, there will always be dawn if you walk firmly. Because, Xingguang will never disappoint the passers-by, and the years will never disappoint the caring people.
