The competition that Teacher Li is talking about is a selection competition in the city.
The junior high school players are grouped into one category and selected uniformly, and the selected good ones will go to Kyoto to participate in the national competition as the city's outstanding players.
Moreover, this competition not only includes individual competitions, but also team competitions. This is the first time that the Olympiad has team events, so everyone attaches great importance to this competition.
As the competition approached, the two brothers Li Zimin became even more nervous.
The stack of papers they wrote was almost taller than a person's height, and they were even doing calculations while dreaming.
While eating breakfast, Li Zimin rubbed his head and said half-jokingly:
"The intensity recently has been so intense that my brain hurts so much."
Li Zhonghua stuffed a bun into his mouth: "I told you to exercise hard."
Looking at Gu Huai, although he sleeps for an unknown number of hours every day, he still does a certain amount of exercise every day. Unlike Li Zimin, who only sits and lies down.
Li Zimin ate the buns, laughed twice, and continued to look down at his questions.
Compared to them, Gu Huai can be said to be stress-free.
He felt that if he went there, he would have to rush to be the first, but he did not need to put this pressure on himself. The Li brothers could just work hard.
With this mentality, they participated in the training camp in the city.
The training location is still at the central school.
After all, this is the best school in the city, and no one has any objection to choosing here.
Looking at the white van driving into the school, Li Zimin said, "Look, those people are all our opponents," but his face was extremely excited.
For a top student, the happiest thing is meeting another top student.
Of course, except for meeting a pervert like Gu Huai.
This training camp is longer than the last one, about two months, and candidates are selected based on an elimination system.
A total of about a hundred people participated in the training. The first round of exams was one week later, and about half of them were eliminated. The second round of exams was in the second week, and half of them were eliminated. The third round of exams was in the fourth week, and only three were left.
personal.
The remaining three people will serve as seed players, train for one month, and travel to the country to participate in competitions.
More than a hundred contestants came from various places, gathering the elites of a province.
As an outstanding school in the province, the Central School has nearly twenty students participating in the selection.
There is no way, the distribution of educational resources at this time is not even, the central school has the best resources, and the students are indeed better.
Students from central schools have a natural advantage in intensive training. They are familiar with the school and the teachers are familiar faces. They do not need to spend time adapting or overthinking.
The opening ceremony was held in the school's multimedia classroom.
Compared with the last training camp, this time it was obviously much more formal. The auditorium used could seat nearly 500 people, and everyone could clearly see the projection screen in the center.
Gu Huai sat at the end. He never cared about this kind of formalism and sat next to the door so that he could leave later.
Li Zimin and Li Zhonghua originally wanted to go forward, but when they saw Gu Huai sitting at the door, they also chose a seat at the door and sat down.
Li Zimin is full of curiosity about everything.
He saw Gu Huai staying away from the crowd and couldn't help but ask him: "Brother Gu, is the reason why you stay so far away from people so that you can think better?"
Gu Huai opened his eyes and looked at him, and said slowly: "Yes, you have to know that when people think, the brain needs more blood, and in places where there are many people, the air tends to be stale, so if you want to become smart, just
You have to learn to be alone first."
Li Zimin's eyes widened.
He thought what Gu Huai said was outrageous, but it made damn sense.
If the brain has sufficient blood supply, it can think better. He knows this. He also knows this in places with many people. The air is not good. But why does it suddenly become smarter when you are alone?
Does this actually imply this layer of logic?
Li Zimin's thoughts were flying everywhere, with sparks and lightning all the way until Li Zhonghua pushed him.
Before he could react, a female voice on the stage shouted:
"Classmate Li Zimin, what are you three doing sitting there in the back? Do you want to wait until get out of class is over to eat?"
In a sense, Gu Huai felt that she was not wrong.
He did want to leave early for lunch.
"You three, sit in the first row for me!"
There are enough seats in the auditorium, and most students choose to sit in the second or third row, leaving the first row empty.
The positions pointed by the female teacher were directly facing the audience.
Li Zimin packed up his things and hesitated to go there.
He whispered in his mouth: "It's starting, it's starting again, the tigress is going to start roaring!"
Gu Huai took a look at the female teacher and found that her facial features were somewhat similar to those of the two brothers Li Zimin, and he understood clearly.
No wonder I have never seen Li Zimin and Li Zhonghua's mother. It turns out that she is the principal of this school. No wonder she doesn't show up often. She is probably afraid of affecting her children's study in school.
Li Zimin muttered all the way and walked to the first row. His originally gloomy face immediately put on a bright smile and put on a look like, "I like being in the first row."
The female teacher was very satisfied with what she saw, and then she started to give her speech.
The content is probably still the same, such as talking about studying hard, working hard, bringing glory to the school, and striving for your future.
After she finished, the audience burst into warm applause. Except for Li Zimin who clapped his hands twice perfunctorily, Li Zhonghua lowered his head and didn't even raise his hands.
Gu Huai, who was sitting next to them, took in this scene but didn't pay much attention.
This is someone else's family matter, and there is no need for me to get involved.
When the teacher representatives and outstanding student representatives finished their speeches, it was already an hour later. Li Zimin took Gu Huai and Li Zhonghua and ran away, ignoring his butt and buttocks which were already numb from sitting.
Gu Huai was pulled away quickly by him and was very unhappy: "What are you afraid of her doing?"
Li Zimin's pace slowed down: "When have I been afraid of her? It's just that a good man doesn't fight with women, and I don't want to quarrel with her."
He was unwilling to explain in detail, so Gu Huai looked at Li Zhonghua.
Li Zhonghua glanced at Li Zimin and saw that the latter showed no resistance, so he spoke to Gu Huai.
It turns out that their mother is the principal of this school, but to them, mother is just a written word.
From birth to growing up, their mother has never held a parent-teacher meeting or participated in any of their extracurricular activities.
For most things in life, their mother is always absent, no, she never comes once.
Because in her eyes, school is always more important than the two of them combined.
Li Zhonghua's description was mixed with a lot of personal emotions. When Gu Huai listened, he internalized all these personal emotions and came to a pertinent conclusion:
"I understand, you are just competing with the school for favor, but you have never fought."
