Lin Zhaoxi had taken many, many exams, and this time was nothing special.
At the school gate, the accompanying teacher issued the admission ticket, and they found their corresponding examination room and seat number.
The group of four from Yongchuan Middle School was still there, making noise around them all the time.
Chen Chu is also here, and what makes Chen Chu better than Zhang Liang is that no matter how he looks excluded, he can perform with ease. Lin Zhaoxi could only block him and the group of four together.
As a century-old school, Yongchuan Middle School is lined with trees, and the evergreen camphor and pine trees stand tall in winter. It looks much "worn" than the fashionable Anning Experimental Middle School. In order to show the friendship of the landlord, Vice President Zhang accompanied them to the teaching building where the exam was held. Since no one spoke, they had the illusion of being escorted into the exam room.
In fact, she didn't feel nervous about how important this exam was. But there are test-accompanying teachers from all schools in the province, and there are also parents who are worried about following. Lin Zhaoxi even heard a caring mother say to her child: "These are your opponents in the future entrance exams to Sanwei University. You can see for yourself whether you want to study hard."
She happened to pass by that mother, and couldn't help but "cough".
"Wow what do you mean cough?"
"Do you think he is not worthy to be your opponent?"
As soon as the group of four spoke, Lin Zhaoxi felt very helpless.
The mother was taken aback.
Lin Zhaoxi couldn't help but said, "Auntie, I'm sorry, I didn't mean that, they were talking nonsense."
"It's all right." The mother smiled, "You guys...'lively'." After saying the word, the aunt paused, and changed the subject, "Which school do you belong to?"
"We are from Anning Experimental Middle School, and they are from Yongchuan Middle School." Chen Chu took a step forward and replied, very charismatic.
"Yongchuan Middle School, amazing." The aunt patted her son on the shoulder, turned her head enviously and shouted at the group of four.
Chen Chu was embarrassed again.
But it's no wonder that this mother didn't respond to Anning Experimental Middle School. Anning is a small place, and their school can rank first in Anning City, which is not enough in the whole province. And Yongchuan Middle School is a century-old school. The thick trees here tell the history of this middle school. Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was the number one middle school in the province. Even because of its long history, Yongchuan Middle School is also well-known in China.
Because of this, the aunt's next reaction was also very normal.
"We want to take the high school exam next year. Do you have any internal questions?" She asked while grabbing the group of four.
"We do internal questions every day."
"Can you share it with us?"
"mom!"
"Ah? I have to ask Teacher Zhang..."
"Are you a teacher?" Auntie glanced at Vice President Zhang from top to bottom, her excitement palpable.
Lin Zhaoxi and Pei Zhi looked at each other, wanting to take advantage of this opportunity to escape, but before taking two steps, Vice Principal Zhang yelled "Lin Zhaoxi" and successfully stopped her. Lin Zhaoxi wanted to cry, but she didn't know why Vice Principal Zhang took such good care of her. But with the addition of auntie, their team entering the examination room grew stronger.
Vice-principal Zhang is a person who is well versed in the way of neither salty nor bland, and the aunt soon became unable to chat with him. Naturally, she was the first to talk to the aunt, and became the object of embarrassment.
"It's not easy for girls to participate in the math league?" Auntie said to her.
Lin Zhaoxi glanced around, as if there were very few girls, but she still said, "I think it's quite easy."
Auntie choked, and Lu Zhihao almost laughed out loud beside her.
"That's because you're smart. Are you going to take the Yongchuan Middle School exam? It's not easy to take the inter-city exam?" Auntie said with the little arrogance unique to people from big cities.
"We didn't want to take the Yongchuan Middle School..."
Before Lin Zhaoxi finished speaking, Vice Principal Zhang's deep voice came from beside him: "Why, you're not interested in Yongchuan Middle School, don't you want to pass the exam?"
"Yongchuan Middle School is very good, but we are in Anning..." Lin Zhaoxi said.
"We live on campus!" Comrade Lao Wang, one of the four people, rushed to answer.
"You have to take the unified high school entrance examination in high school, why do we go to the school in Yongchuan..."
"Special move." Zhang Shuping said.
Lin Zhaoxi stopped.
Zhang Shuping said: "All of you, including Pei Zhi and Lu Zhihao, if you win the first prize in the National Mathematical League, you can enter without taking the exam."
For about a while, there was only the sound of the wind whistling around, and everyone, including the mother, was shocked into silence.
"Stop joking." Finally, Lin Zhaoxi said so
"Anyway, you will come here often this year, why not consider studying in Yongchuan Middle School, it will be more convenient."
"Yongchuan is too far away." Lin Zhaoxi subconsciously refused.
"Student Lin Zhaoxi seems very confident." Chen Chu said suddenly.
Lin Zhaoxi froze for a moment, only to realize the biggest problem in the conversation between her and Zhang Shuping.
Vice-principal Zhang said that only the first prize has a chance, but she logically classified herself as the first prize, and even rejected the invitation that can only be rejected after she has won the "first prize".
"The first prize, there are dozens of people in the whole province every year." The aunt also said.
Lin Zhaoxi pursed her lips, her heart beat violently, and she didn't refute anything.
"Let's work hard on the exam first."
In front of the teaching building, Zhang Shuping stopped and said this to her.
—
Lin Zhaoxi sat in the examination room, her mind was still full of the words of Vice Principal Zhang—"Why, I'm not interested in Yongchuan Middle School, don't you want to pass the exam?"
She put the stationery for the exam on the table, always feeling that this must be Vice Principal Zhang's special tactic. Make them hot-headed, emotionally confused, and affect their normal performance.
Inadvertently, she saw the boy just now again, who was destined to be in the same examination room as her, looking at her with complicated eyes. The words of Vice President Zhang at the entrance of the examination room rang in her mind again, including his calm expression.
It must be false to say that Yongchuan Middle School is unattractive. But the reason why she was suddenly excited just now was because Zhang Shuping proposed a brand new way to solve the problems she was facing.
If she and Lao Lin moved to Yongchuan together, would Lao Lin be able to avoid future car accidents after their living environment changed
But changing the status quo also presents another problem.
If the car accident is a non-random event caused by a series of causes and effects, then changing the environment may not be able to change this event, but will make everything fall into a more chaotic, disordered and unpredictable state.
Lin Zhaoxi fell into a dilemma again.
She even felt that if there is any difficulty in the world of heavy cheese, it is that she always has to make some difficult choices here. Unlike the situation in elementary school when she lacked courage and had difficulty making choices, the problem now is that the future is unknown, and she can only be more rational and calm.
She thought for a long time, until the invigilator entered the classroom, and the "stabbing" sound of cutting the test paper bag finally brought her back to her thoughts.
It must be "tactics", she rubbed her face and forced herself to calm down.
The preparation bell rang and the test papers were passed down from front to back.
Lin Zhaoxi took a deep breath, smoothed the test paper, and started the normal marking procedure.
Every year, different provinces take part in the mathematics league. This year it is the turn of Yue Province, a province with a major college entrance examination. Yue Province is famous for its large number of math candidates and its high difficulty. When I went to the small training class organized in the market before, the teacher reminded them that the test paper may be difficult this time.
But when she saw the test paper, Lin Zhaoxi was still stunned by the difficulty.
Even the basic test is completely beyond the scope of teaching content in junior high school, and the content of plane analytic geometry in high school appears. If students review strictly according to the syllabus, they may not even understand the content of the topic
Not to mention the questions of the second test... Although Lin Zhaoxi didn't focus on doing the high school Olympiad questions, the second test was obviously that difficult.
Sure enough, after reading the entire test paper, there were several sighs in the classroom.
The invigilator issued a warning, and the examination room became dead silent again.
After the initial shock, Lin Zhaoxi quickly calmed down. The reason for this was probably that for her, these difficult problems were still within the solvable range.
She began to miss those basic questions that Pei Zhichu had done in the library before. She still has that point of view, really excellent questions, or help you train your proficiency, or help you understand the questions, rather than blindly pursuing difficulty.
Just try your best to test...
She picked up a pencil and began to answer questions.
—
"Dingling bell", the bell rang at the end of the exam.
The 100 minutes passed quickly. Lin Zhaoxi looked down at the test paper and answer sheet, took the test paper from the back row, put her own on it, and uploaded it.
Walking out of the examination room, Lu Zhihao came towards him. Just as he met, Lin Zhaoxi saw Lu Zhihao showing a familiar frustrated expression.
"You are not allowed to speak." Lu Zhihao yelled at her.
"I didn't say anything!" Lin Zhaoxi was very wronged.
"You must say it, it's not too difficult..." Lu Zhihao imitated her tone.
"It's hard." Lin Zhaoxi paused, "But I can still do it, it's just that the questions aren't very good."
"You better shut up."
Lin Zhaoxi made a gesture of zipping his mouth, and walked down with Lu Zhihao.
"Can I win the first prize?" But within two steps, Lu Zhihao couldn't help talking to her again.
Lin Zhaoxi opened her mouth again: "You want to listen to a humble answer, or a sincere answer."
"Shut up."
Lin Zhaoxi closed her mouth again.
Downstairs, Pei Zhi sat by the flower bed and waited for them, Zhang Shuping sat beside him, I don't know what and how long they communicated.
"Did you hand in the paper early again?" Lu Zhihao stared at the slightly idle classmate Pei Zhi, angrily.
"Routine operation, don't get excited." Lin Zhaoxi comforted Lu Zhihao.
The conversation between Uncle Zhang and Pei Zhi was interrupted. Vice Principal Zhang said in a low voice, "You can think about it more carefully," before raising his head.
After so many years, Vice President Zhang's eyes are still so lethal. Lin Zhaoxi was shocked by his glance. In order not to talk to Zhang Shuping, she timidly approached Pei Zhi and asked, "Brother Pei, do you have your cell phone?"
Pei Zhi stood up and took out the phone to her.
"Is there a password?" Lin Zhaoxi asked.
"1223."
Because of the password, Pei subconsciously got closer to her, and the young man's refreshing voice rang in her ears, with a warm breath, which made her ears numb.
Lin Zhaoxi rubbed her ears and unlocked the screen: "What meaningful number is this?"
"My birthday."
Lin Zhaoxi raised her head abruptly, why was she so stupid: "Yes! I'm sorry!"
"It's okay, go and call Master."
Holding the phone and running for a certain distance, Lin Zhaoxi didn't realize until he called Lao Lin that Pei Zhi was really too perceptive.
Surrounded by dejected students who have just finished their mathematics league exams, and occasional comforting voices from their parents, the unique heaviness of a century-old school is very yearning. She suddenly thought, anyway, after being admitted to university, Lao Lin would still take her to move to Yongchuan, so it seems completely acceptable to advance this period of time by three years
"Hello." At this time, Lao Lin's lazy voice came through the radio waves.
"Father, I've finished the exam." Lin Zhaoxi said.
"After the exam, if you are not in a hurry to eat barbecue, but you want to call me, do you need Dad's comfort?"
"No, I seem to have done well in the exam."
"Oh, what's that?"
Lao Lin's voice was very calm and understated, but Lin Zhaoxi couldn't help but clenched her phone tightly. She started with "Vice Principal Zhang said" and ended with "What do you think", and briefly explained the whole thing to Lao Lin.
But before she finished her last sentence, Lao Lin already had a result.
"Understood, don't go." Lao Lin said.
