Chapter 107 Don’t disturb me, I’m collecting the award
When the time came, Zhao Qinglan started the second competition.
If the first game is relatively easy, then the difficulty of this second game is an upgraded version of the first game, with the difficulty rising by two levels.
She picked up her pen and started answering the questions, starting from the first question until the end. The speed of answering the questions was very smooth, and there was still no trace of erasure or correction on the test paper. She didn't even need to type a draft, because her brain was like a computer.
.
When finished, hand in the paper.
Waiting for the results to be announced.
I had a lunch provided by the school at noon.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the scores and rankings of all contestants were announced on the big screen on time. These are recorded and can be viewed in the school system database at any time.
Zhao Qinglan saw his ranking.
First in the grade, the score is 200, and the additional questions will add 20 extra points, with a total score of 220. There are also notes about the school and the student's class, which is quite detailed.
As for the second and third places behind her, their scores are too far away from hers, with a difference of more than 70 points. The top three rankings in each grade are enlarged and bold, which looks very eye-catching and wants people to see it.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t see it.
On the ranking list, Zhao Qinglan saw an unexpected name. Xiao Yu, with a total score of 175, was in Class 1, Grade 2, and ranked third in grade. He was ranked first and second by a few points.
"Oh..." Zhao Qinglan raised her eyebrows slightly, which was something she didn't expect.
Seeing his name on the list, the corners of Zhao Qinglan's lips slightly raised, and she felt subconsciously happy. Inexplicably, she felt like I had a son (crossed out) and a younger brother who had just grown up.
He didn't say he wanted to participate in the competition, so she didn't know either. Xiao Yu and she were not in the same school or in the same grade, and she didn't pay attention after the competition started.
"It's amazing."
Seeing that Zhao Qinglan ranked first in grade again, Xiao Yu was even happier than herself, and was excitedly talking to her classmates.
"Did you see it? My sister Qinglan is number one again. How can she be so awesome?"
Someone next to him saw that he was happy and couldn't help but roll his eyes at him, "Humph, who doesn't have a sister?"
Xiao Yu hummed, with a proud look on his face. "My sister is number one, she is very good, she can do everything." It feels like there is nothing she can't do, her sister is the best, and he likes her the most.
The child stopped after hearing this. "My sister is also very good. She can dance and sing."
Xiao Yu is not willing to be outdone.
"My sister knows martial arts."
"My, my sister is very beautiful."
"My sister Qinglan is beautiful and gentle."
"You, my sister is better than your sister. My sister can eat mud, can your sister?"
Xiao Yu laughed dryly.
"Well, your sister is still the best..." His sister Qinglan doesn't eat mud.
Maybe the dialogue the child clicked on was so funny that the teacher standing aside couldn't help but laugh out loud.
This is a child, this is childhood.
The scores are out, the competition has come to an end, and the awards ceremony is next.
"... What is announced now is the final list of winners for the top three in the fourth, fifth and sixth grades. Now, students whose names are called please come to the stage to receive their awards."
"The first place winner is Yu Tingting, a student from Class 2, Grade 6, Beijing Middle School."
"The second place winner is Jiang Zhao, a class one in the sixth grade of Mingxi Primary School."
"The third place winner is Zhao Qian, a class one in sixth grade at Huancheng Primary School. The first place winner in fifth grade is... the students whose names are called below, please come up to the stage to receive the award."
"Now, with warm applause, we invite today's award-giving guest, the Deputy Chairman of the Education Bureau, to come to the stage to present the award."
"Good afternoon to all teachers, classmates, and parents who are here. It's an honor to be invited to be the award presenter for this mathematics competition..."
The guest of honor this time was the deputy director of the Education Bureau. The leader came to the stage to deliver a speech on education, and then encouraged the development of the school... and then began to award awards to the students who received the awards amidst the applause of the crowd.
The rewards for this competition are very real, and the money is paid by the school itself. What is given to the students is after-tax, and they take home real money, without any falsehood.
The students who received the money had to smile crookedly. For the first time, they truly felt what it means to study to be successful. They also realized what it means to have a golden house in a book.
Envy from parents.
Sure enough, that saying is right, the outstanding ones are all other people’s children.
After the fourth, fifth, and sixth grade students received their awards, those in the lower grades whose names were on the list were already ready, waiting for their names to be called, and then went up.
"What is announced now is the final list of winners for the top three in third grade, second grade, and first grade. Now, the students whose names are called please come to the stage to receive the award."
"The first place winner is Zhao Qinglan, Class 2, Grade 3, Mingxi Primary School."
"Second place winner, Guo Heng, class 2, grade 3, Linping Primary School..."
After that, there was another long list of roll calls, among which Zhao Qinglan heard Xiao Yu’s name. Class 1, Grade 2, Huancheng Primary School, third place.
The classmates who received the awards stood in a row. Xiao Yu looked past the older classmates standing next to him and looked at Zhao Qinglan standing on the other side, with the corners of his lips raised.
He and his sister received the award together.
Feeling his gaze, Zhao Qinglan raised her eyes and glanced at him.
‘Sister Qinglan.’
He called himself again, very quietly, but Zhao Qinglan still heard him.
Zhao Qinglan didn't speak. She was silent for a moment. She moved her hands slightly and moved her fingers towards him. A wisp of breeze blew over his face, which was considered a response. However, no one saw her little movement.
Only Xiao Yu felt it.
He reached out and touched his cheek, his eyes bright.
The students who received the award received a certificate and a cash award personally issued by the Education Bureau. For good luck, the money was tied with a red ribbon, which looked very festive.
The awards were over and the competition came to an end.
Before leaving, the reporter interviewed several award-winning students and their parents, including Zhao Qinglan.
Unlike others who are nervous and excited, Zhao Qinglan is relatively calm when facing the camera.
I simply thanked the teachers at my school, and also thanked my parents for their hard work.
"Classmate Zhao Qinglan, you won the first place in your grade with perfect scores in this competition. Are you very excited now?"
"I heard that your academic performance has always been very good. What do you think about this? As a top student, do you have any special learning secrets? Can you share it with everyone?"
Zhao Qinglan: "..."
Do you have a photographic memory?
She is a cheater.
However, since you have asked, you can’t just say nothing.
"Learning mainly depends on understanding, and you also need to have a good memory. In addition, learn more and watch more. Develop a good work and rest time, watch less TV at night, go to bed early and get up early."
"Speaking of memory, classmate Zhao Qinglan, do you have any personal methods to enhance your memory?"
