The results of the selection competition will be released in about ten days.
After the results come out, each county and city selects a few representatives to go to the provincial capital to participate in the second round of selection.
Only the winners can represent the provincial team and go to the capital to participate in the national competition.
Xu Haiyuan had just returned from the chemistry competition and was studying on Monday morning. His head teacher and math teacher happily entered the fast class.
"Congratulations to Xu Haiyuan, who won the first prize in the county and the second prize in the city in this mathematics competition."
There was thunderous applause in the class, and the students all clapped hard to congratulate Xu Haiyuan.
"Congratulations to the squad leader, our squad leader is so awesome, awesome."
The boys shouted happily, and some even whistled.
Xu Haiyuan has been the king of children since he was in elementary school.
No matter where he goes, he can treat the boys in his class obediently and he is very popular among his classmates.
So when the students learned that Xu Haiyuan had achieved good results, they were all sincerely happy for him.
The first monthly exam after the start of the third year of junior high school will be divided into classes according to the monthly exam results.
There is an express class, a review class, an intermediate class, and the rest are parallel classes, which are also slow classes.
Each subsequent monthly test and proficiency test will be adjusted according to the results.
In other words, the last few students in the fast class may be transferred to the middle class, and the first few students in the middle class may also be transferred to the fast class.
Xu Haiyuan's grades have not dropped since the day he started studying. He does not feel pressure to be divided into classes.
However, after entering the third grade of junior high school, Xu Haiyuan was unable to take care of various affairs in the class due to competition training.

So the teacher chose a steady girl to be the monitor, and Xu Haiyuan was the deputy monitor.
After the students were lively for a while, the class became quiet.
Then the math teacher called Xu Haiyuan outside the class.
"This time our county selected two students to participate in the second round of competition in the province. You happened to be ranked third, so you were not selected."
The math teacher felt that it was a pity that Xu Haiyuan's math score was already the best in the past years in Donggang Middle School. Even he was not selected. In the future, it would probably be difficult for anyone to go to the province to participate in the competition.
This is the gap in teaching staff.
Many times, it's not that students are not good enough or don't work hard enough, but the teacher's level determines the student's achievement.
"Well, thank you teacher, I understand." Xu Haiyuan nodded and accepted the reality calmly.
Competitions are different from ordinary studies for exams. Xu Haiyuan knew that his abilities were limited, so he was not disappointed.
"Okay, go back and study hard. There are still two subjects that have not been released yet. Maybe there will be surprises in those two subjects."
The math teacher patted Xu Haiyuan on the shoulder, sighed, and asked Xu Haiyuan to go back to class.
Xu Haiyuan's mentality was very good and he was not affected at all. He went to class, class and review step by step every day.
The three subject competitions were over, and he no longer had to stay up late every day like before.
Basically, I go home after class in the evening, do a little homework and then rest.
A few days later, the results of the physics competition came out.
Compared to mathematics, Xu Haiyuan's grades in physics were better. He won the first prize in the county and the first prize in the city, and was successfully selected for the second round.
At this time, several teachers in the physics group were jumping for joy. This was the first time that someone from Donggang Middle School was selected to participate in the provincial competition.
What was even more unexpected was that a few days later, the results of the chemistry competition came out. Xu Haiyuan was also selected for the second round.
The location of the second round of competition is the Provincial Education College, and the competition starts on December 15th.
First is mathematics, then physics and chemistry. Each subject is tested for two days, with a day off in between, and then the next subject is tested.
That is to say, the math test will be taken on the 15th and 16th days, the physics test will be taken on the 18th and 19th days, and the chemistry test will be taken on the 21st and 22nd days.
This second round of competition selects students from various counties and cities. One county only selects two students. The city will give more places. About a dozen students from one prefecture-level city can be selected to go to the province.
The city issued an entry instruction to every student who participated in the second round of competition, which clearly stated the competition time, location and other relevant matters.
He also explained that the city would arrange for two teachers to accompany him.
Each participating school can arrange for a teacher or parent to accompany them, but they are responsible for their own food and accommodation expenses.
For the first time, a student from Donggang Middle School went to a provincial capital to participate in a competition, and it was one person for both physics and chemistry.
The school leaders immediately made a decision and arranged for two teachers to follow. All expenses were paid by the school, and Xu Haiyuan's safety and health must be guaranteed.
"Dad, I'm going to the provincial capital in two days to participate in a competition. I'll probably leave on the 16th and come back after the 24th."
After no longer having to participate in competition training, Xu Haiyuan finished school at around 7:30 and went directly back to his grandparents.
Xu Shiyan hasn't been so busy recently. He goes to his parents first after get off work every day, has dinner and then chats with them for a while.
Wait for Xu Haiyuan to come back and have a bite to eat, and then we can go home together.
So when Xu Haiyuan said that he was going to the provincial capital to participate in the competition, the Xu family immediately became lively.
The three old men, Xu Chenghou, Zhou Guilan, and Chu Xuanhuai, were surprised at first, and then became happy, grinning with joy.
"Okay, okay, great. Our Yuanyuan family is really good. Not only are we going to compete in the county, but we are also going to compete in the provincial capital."
The three of them nodded and said several good words in succession.
On the other side, Xu Haiqing and the others, who were watching TV, jumped for joy when they heard this.
"Wow, my eldest brother is great, he is going to compete in the province.
Brother, you must perform well and come back with a prize when the time comes."
Xu Haiqing jumped to his brother's side and said with excitement and envy.
"Brother, if I get a ranking in the provincial competition, can I still participate in the national competition?"
Xu Jinping was in the first grade of junior high school, and she usually heard the teacher mention it, so she knew more about it, so she asked.
"Well, yes, those with excellent results will be selected for the provincial team and participate in the national competition. But I'm not sure how many our province can choose."
Donggang Middle School had never even participated in the provincial competition, let alone the national competition, so the teacher didn't know.
"Brother, I wish you all the best in this competition and a title on the gold list.
I will try to get into the provincial team at the top of the exam and represent our province in the national competition."
Xu Jinping raised her right hand, high-fived her brother and sent her blessings.
"Okay, let me borrow my sister's words. I will definitely perform well this time and try to get a good rank in the exam and bring glory to our family."
Xu Haiyuan also raised his hand, high-fived his sister and said with a smile.
When Xu Haiqing and Xu Jinhui saw it, they quit, and rushed over to give their brother a high-five and send him their most sincere blessings.
Seeing the children laughing and making trouble, Xu Shiyan was filled with joy, but at the same time, he also felt regretful.
To be honest, what the couple did was really not up to standard.
It didn't provide much help to the children's studies, and even failed to take good care of them in life.
Thanks to the sensible children in the family, especially the two eldest children, it is really very worry-free. Not only do they study well, but they also take care of their younger siblings.
If it were another family, and the parents would just leave the situation alone, the children would still be in trouble.
Admittedly, this is the case for most people these days.
No parents pay special attention to their children's studies, and no parents accompany their children to do homework every day.
Children learn independently. If they learn well, they continue to study. If they learn poorly, they come down to work in the fields.
Times create people's concepts. People in this era are used to it, and no one feels bad about it.
But Xu Shiyan was different after all. From the bottom of his heart, he always felt that he owed his children.
"Lao San, have you been busy at work lately?"
Xu Chenghou happily filled a bag of cigarettes and just lit it, when he suddenly remembered something and asked his son hurriedly.
"It's been okay recently. It's not as busy as September and October."
The company is on the right track, with a clear division of labor, and Xu Shiyan does not need to do everything himself, making it much easier than before.
"Then take a few days off and accompany Yuanyuan to compete in the provincial capital.
This is a big deal, and I wouldn’t worry if my child is left in the hands of others."
Xu Chenghou lit the cigarette bag, took a puff, and then said.
"Yes, yes, your father is right. Our Yuanyuan is going to the provincial capital to compete this time, which is different from the previous one in the county.
You can't let your child go alone on such a long journey, so you can rest assured if you follow us."
Over there, Chu Xuanhuai heard this and quickly nodded in agreement.
The same goes for Zhou Guilan, who strongly agrees with Xu Chenghou's proposal.
"Master, grandma, master, I just went to the provincial capital to participate in a competition.
The school has arranged for two teachers to accompany us. I heard that the city will also arrange for teachers to lead the tour, so my dad doesn’t need to accompany us, right?
This whole thing seems so grand and makes people laugh." Xu Haiyuan objected hastily upon hearing this.
As for that? He just went to the provincial capital to participate in a competition. This guy's school arranged for two teachers, and his father followed him. What's going on?
Make others laugh out loud when they see it?
"It's okay. I happened to have something to do recently and I need to go to the province. I'll accompany you to the competition."
Xu Shiyan felt guilty just now. Now that he finally had the chance to make up for his eldest son, he would definitely go to the provincial capital with him.
"That's okay."
When Xu Haiyuan took a look, his grandparents, grandma, master, and father were all looking at him with expectant eyes.
How can I say this if I refuse? Come on, my family doesn’t need a few dollars for food and accommodation anyway, so let’s go together.
When he heard that his son had agreed, he was so young, Xu Shiyan was so happy.
"Then it's settled, I'll go back to the unit tomorrow to make some arrangements for my work.
Mom, please pack two more sets of clothes for us Yuanyuan tomorrow. We will go out in the cold weather. We will be gone for six or seven days.
It’s cold now, so bring more warm clothes.”
From mid-to-late December to around the Gregorian calendar, the weather is the coldest. Going out and riding in a car can be a hassle, so you must bring more clothes.
"Okay, okay, don't worry, leave this to me. You just need to take good care of my eldest grandson."
The old lady was so happy that she agreed without saying a word.
"Yuanyuan, remember to tell your teacher tomorrow. They don't need to worry about train tickets or anything like that. I'll buy them for you."
Nowadays, you can go to the provincial capital by train or bus.
There are buses from Songjiang River directly to the provincial capital. They depart at 6 o'clock in the morning and arrive at the provincial capital in the afternoon, which is more convenient than taking a train.
Of course, with Xu Shiyan's status, it would be no problem to get a better car and drive to the provincial capital.
But Xu Haiyuan was going to participate in a competition, so it would not be appropriate to take a bus or bring his own car.
One is safety issues. The roads are slippery in winter and various conditions on the road are unpredictable.
It would be a pity if something went wrong and the game was delayed.
On the other hand, Xu Haiyuan and the others have to go to Hunjiang, where they will meet up with others and be led by the team leader, so they will set off together, so the train is the most suitable option.
Although the train is slow, you can take sleepers, which is relatively more comfortable.
"Uh, okay, then I'll tell the teacher."
Xu Haiyuan was speechless for a while. Was his father too happy?
This guy doesn't even need to take care of the train tickets, so he's responsible for it?
It's just a competition, why is it so exciting?
But seeing the excited faces of my father and grandparents, the words of rejection went around in my mouth several times, but I couldn't say them out.
Forget it, let's just coax and make my family happy for once. After all, there is only one chance in three years of junior high school.
In this way, Xu Shiyan went back to his work unit the next day to make work arrangements and asked for leave again.
Zhou Guilan packs clothes and other things for her son and grandson at home.
On the morning of December 16, the company arranged a car to pick up Xu Shiyan and his son, and then picked up the school's physics and chemistry teachers.
The group of people went straight to the train station, got on the train and headed straight to the Hunjiang River.
When I arrived at Hunjiang Railway Station, as soon as I got out of the station, I found someone holding a sign to pick me up outside. The physics teacher hurriedly stepped forward to contact them.
Xu Haiyuan and the others took the morning express train to Hunjiang, and it was only about two o'clock in the afternoon when they arrived in Hunjiang.
The train to the provincial capital left at nearly nine o'clock in the evening. There were still six or seven hours left in between, so we couldn't stay at the station.
Therefore, the relevant person in charge of the city arranged for them to go to the guest house to rest.
Wait for all the contestants to arrive, have dinner together in the evening, and then set off together.
In the Northeast this year, winter is quite cold, so everyone wears more clothes and covers themselves tightly.
Therefore, the person in charge of reception did not recognize Xu Shiyan standing next to Xu Haiyuan.
When everyone arrived at the guest house and the staff was checking in, Xu Shiyan happened to take off his hat and scarf, and he was recognized.
"Are you Mr. Xu from the ginseng company?"
You must know that Oriental Ginseng Industry Company is definitely one of the largest companies in the city and is very famous.
Xu Shiyan has been on TV several times, not to mention ordinary newspapers and magazines, and there are always several interviews a year.
The person at the guest house just now looked at Xu Shiyan as someone who looked familiar, but didn't think about it for a moment.
Isn't this registering the name of the guest? As soon as Xu Shiyan said his name, people immediately thought of who it was.
"Ah, yes." Xu Shiyan was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect to be recognized by people in the city.
Anyway, there is nothing to hide. Since you recognize it, then admit it openly.
"It turns out it's really Mr. Xu.
I looked familiar to you just now, so I took the liberty to ask, but I didn't expect it was really you."
The staff at the guest house was so excited that the writing hand was shaking slightly. The words he was asked to write were almost flying.
"Well, I'm going out with my children this time, sorry for the trouble, comrade." Xu Shiyan nodded with a smile.
Next to me, the two reception staff in the city were dumbfounded.
Is this Mr. Xu? Why didn’t they recognize it at all just now?
"Hey, Mr. Xu, I'm sorry, you see, we didn't even recognize you.
What about that, how about I give you another place to rest?"
"No, no, it's only a few hours, don't bother me.
Originally, the child wouldn't let me follow him this time, but if you make it too grand, I won't be able to go out with the child again in the future."
Xu Shiyan accompanied his son to the competition. He was not the protagonist, so how could he steal his son's limelight?
Besides, it’s just a few hours of rest. If it doesn’t work, why should we mobilize troops and make everyone aware of it?
"It's very nice here. Please excuse me. I'll take the children to rest first."
Xu Shiyan nodded with a smile, then picked up his luggage and walked to the room with his son.
Mr. and Mrs. Xu Shiyan had just entered the room to rest, and the receptionist at the other end quickly picked up the phone at the front desk and reported the situation to their leader.
"Director Li, I have something to report to you.
We just received Mr. Xu from Dongfang Ginseng Company, and he said that he was accompanying his son to participate in the competition."
The receptionist was from the Education Bureau. Their leader knew that Guan Enxue had a good relationship with Xu Shiyan, so he hung up the phone and reported to Guan Enxue immediately.
Then, Guan Enxue found out about Xu Shiyan accompanying his son in the competition.
"Okay, this brat takes his son to a game and doesn't even say hello to me when he passes by the city."
Guan Enxue hung up the phone, first complained to his secretary, then picked up the phone and called Chen Jianzhang and Lin Qiyue.
"Lin, do you have time? That Xiao Xu came to the city and said he was passing by to accompany his son to a competition in the provincial capital.
You hurry up and make arrangements, we'll go find him later, and we have to arrange a meal somewhere in the evening."
With Guan Enxue's temper, it's okay if he didn't know Xu Shiyan was coming. Since he knew, he had to arrange a meal.
