The children played in Xijiang Park until dark, and then Teacher Jiang led them back.
I was tired from playing games and walking during the day, and slept very soundly at night.
After dinner the next morning, the schools that did not advance to the finals basically went home, and the remaining students participated in the finals.
The finals of the village primary schools are simple, with groups of three answering questions and accumulating total points after answering.
The one with the highest total score in the preliminary round and finals wins, and only one winner will be selected.
The central primary school has trouble. In the first round, questions will be answered by groups. The top five groups with total scores will also have to answer a round of questions.
This will test your knowledge reserve and on-the-spot reaction speed.
Fortunately, Xu Haiyuan's mentality has always been stable, and he led the two girls in his group to compete for every question. He was unstoppable all the way and successfully won the first place.
When the judges announced that Donggang Central Primary School won the first place, Teacher Jiang almost shed tears of joy in the audience.
This semester, the teacher takes the children to memorize questions every day.
Other children have a day off on Saturday afternoon, and these children have to go to school to study, which is really hard.
Hard work pays off, and the children's hard work was finally in vain, as they won first place.
The finals are over and the winners will be announced soon.
A teacher read out the list of winners on the spot, allowing the winning students and teachers to come on stage to receive their awards.
The team award is a certificate of merit, and the first, second and third place prizes are awarded by the instructor.
In addition, there are individual student awards, which are ranked based on the scores of two answers.
Xu Haiyuan deserved the first prize, and the prize was a hard-shell notebook and a pen.
Teacher Jiang took six students from two groups to take pictures together with their certificates.
The game ended like this. After lunch, everyone packed up and went to the passenger terminal.
Fusong Passenger Transport Station is in the north of the county, next to the department store and Xinhua Bookstore.
The car went back at around two o'clock in the afternoon, and there was still enough time. Teacher Jiang took the children to walk around the department store and play.
As soon as they reached the stairs on the second floor, several girls screamed in fright.
"What is this? Why do the people inside look like ghosts?"
"That's a fun mirror, which is actually a concave mirror and a convex mirror.
By changing the reflection image through the curvature of the mirror, it can make people elongate and become thinner or shrink and become fatter.”
It turns out that at the stairwell on the second floor, there are two funny mirrors, one convex and one concave.
When a person walks in front of a convex mirror, he will become thin and long, larger at the two ends and smaller in the middle.
If you go to a concave mirror, you will become short and fat, with small ends and a big middle, and you will become a fat person.
Xu Haiyuan glanced at the mirror and explained to the girls helplessly.
How stupid. A living person can be frightened by a mirror. What's so scary about this thing?
Hearing what Xu Haiyuan said, these people became interested.
A few girls looked at it carefully in front of the funny mirror and made all kinds of strange expressions in the mirror, making them laugh.
This is also the origin of the name of the magic mirror.
The children played in front of the fun mirror for a while, and then went up to hang out.
In fact, it's a waste of time to go shopping. We don't have much money, so we can only take a look.
Even so, the girls were very excited, pointing at the clothes and talking about them.
There is a yellow gauze skirt with several layers of flying edges, which is quite beautiful.
The girls looked at it for a long time, then asked the salesperson, who said it was fifty yuan. The children were so frightened that they stuck out their tongues and turned around and ran away.
Xu Haiyuan has no interest in shopping. There are clothes, shoes and socks upstairs, and there is no shortage of younger brothers and sisters at home.
So the group of people left the department store. Xu Haiyuan said something to Teacher Jiang, then turned and entered Xinhua Bookstore.
After walking around here, there was nothing to buy. Nowadays, the Xu family's books are almost more diverse than those in Xinhua Bookstore.
In the past, every time Xu Shiyan went out, the place he would go to was the bookstore.
He would buy Chinese and foreign classics and various popular science books as long as they were suitable for children.
In addition, Xu Shiyan bought textbooks from various universities and Chu Xuanhuai's collection of books.
It can be said that if there is something in the bookstore, the Xu family keeps it, and if it is not in the bookstore, maybe the Xu family has it.
Xu Haiyuan looked around the small bookstore in the county town twice but couldn't find the book he wanted to buy.
In the end, I had no choice but to come out empty-handed. The train was about to leave at this time, and Teacher Jiang led the children to check their tickets and get on the train.
At half past two, the bus departed and returned to Songjianghe at around four in the afternoon. Then a donkey cart was hired to take the children back to the Donggang Martyrs' Tomb, and the children went home separately.
"Oh, my eldest grandson is back. How was the competition?"
Zhou Guilan and Han Cai'e were making dumplings at home with Xu Jinping and the other girls.
This is a classic item of the Xu family. No matter who comes back from a trip, the old lady must cook dumplings.
Su Weizhong happened to be off from work today, so he and Han Cai'e came over to make dumplings for Xu Haiyuan.
"Master, grandma, grandpa, grandma, master.
The competition was very good and everything went smoothly. Our school won the first prize and there is a certificate with the teacher.
I also won an award, first prize individually, no certificate, only a prize." The elder asked, and Xu Haiyuan answered calmly.
"Oh, dear, please listen, we have won awards one after another.
It has to be my eldest grandson. Even if he is good, he can win prizes in county competitions."
When Zhou Guilan heard this, she was very happy, and the wrinkles on her smiling face became much deeper.
The old men and women in the room were all very happy, and their faces were all smiling like flowers.
"Quick, get on the kang and have a rest. We'll finish making dumplings here soon. When your parents come back soon, we'll cook dumplings for dinner."
Han Cai'e quickly called her grandson to get on the kang. The eldest grandson looked more and more strange.
"In-laws, you are so lucky to have such a promising grandson.
Look, Yuanyuan studies well, is obedient and sensible, and studies medicine with Mr. Chu. This child will definitely be great in the future.
And Pingping, that child too, will be no different in the future.
How do you think these two children grew up? How come they study so well without others having to worry about them?"
Han Cai'e was making dumplings while talking to Zhou Guilan.
"That's right, there is smoke coming out of the old Xu family's ancestral grave. I don't know how many lifetimes it took for these two children to come out."
When Zhou Guilan said this, she deliberately glanced at Xu Chenghou.
She didn't mean to belittle anyone.
For three generations of Lao Xu's family, no one has ever heard of anyone with a promising academic career. It is indeed not easy to have two children who are good at studying.
Xu Chenghou was not annoyed after hearing what his old wife said, and was still smiling.
"If you don't tell me, I have to go back to my hometown and pay my respects.
May our ancestors bless us, and the descendants of our Xu family will be successful, and if we have a few more college students, we will be able to honor our ancestors."
When the old couple said this, everyone else laughed.
While talking and laughing, the dumplings were almost finished.
Zhou Guilan looked at the time and estimated that her son and daughter-in-law would be back soon.
"Come on, let's boil some water and make dumplings.
I told the couple in the morning that the children will come back from the game today and will eat dumplings in the evening, so they cannot come back too late."
