The next day, Lin Zhaoxi got up early, thanks to Pei Zhi's Transformers watch, she didn't repeat the mistakes of the first day.
Rushing downstairs, Pei Zhi was still sitting on the small sofa. When she went to work in the cafeteria, she was sitting in exactly the same position as yesterday.
After leaving the reading room the night before, the group of them read for a while in the small living room downstairs. It was ten o'clock by accident, and finally, they were driven back to the room by the dorm aunt who came to make inspections.
"Morning." Lin Zhaoxi wanted to say hello to Pei Zhixiao on purpose.
But for the first time ever, Pei Zhi raised his head and yawned, then raised his hand as a greeting to her, looking too sleepy to speak.
"What time did you go to bed yesterday?" Lin Zhaoxi and he walked on the road facing the morning light, surrounded by only squirrels and birds, not even a person, it was unbearably quiet.
"A little?" Pei Zhixiao rubbed his eyes.
"Why so late?"
"Hanamaki is endorsing the book."
"What!" Lin Zhaoxi was shocked. Little classmate Hanamaki said that she was going to leave, but her body was so honest, she memorized until one o'clock in the morning.
But what is there to memorize in mathematics
"Memorize the formula that may be tested today." Pei Zhi thought for a while and said, "Amazing, isn't it?"
"Amazing!"
"But will his endorsement affect your sleep?" Lin Zhaoxi asked.
"Lu Zhihao is also here, at the question point." Pei Zhi yawned again, his voice full of tiredness.
"That's not a violation of the regulations. If you are caught by the teacher, you will be punished!"
"Shhh." Pei Zhi raised his index finger and told her to keep her voice down.

At 6 o'clock in the morning, the canteen of the oasis base.
Steamed buns for steamed buns, stir-fried vegetables for stir-fried vegetables, the back kitchen has been working in full swing, steaming, like a huge factory. Lin Zhaoxi and Pei Zhi stood at a small doorway in the back kitchen, facing all kinds of cooking tables and a huge stove from the front to the end, and swallowed.
The aunt who was in charge of the canteen yesterday stood in front of them with her hands on her hips, and said, "Go, let's work with the cleaning lady who took you yesterday, and clean up the canteen outside first, and wait for the door to open."
"Okay!" Lin Zhaoxi turned her head, and Pei Zhi followed suit.
But the aunt said: "You wait."
Pei Zhi stood still, Lin Zhaoxi turned her head.
"What can you do with your small body?" The aunt looked at Pei Zhi lovingly.
Lin Zhaoxi also heard her aunt say this to her yesterday, but the tone was completely different from what she said to Pei Zhi today! It's like being robbed!
"Do you like to eat bread?" Auntie asked Pei Zhi, "Come on, Auntie will take you there, can you find an uncle to teach you how to make bread?"
Lin Zhaoxi shivered.
"I'd better clean the outside with her." Pei Zhi said with some embarrassment. .
"That won't work, the teacher asked you to come here, you must obey the arrangement and obey the instructions!" Auntie stretched out her hand to take Pei Zhi's little hand, and pinched his porcelain-white face with the other hand, with an indescribable kindness in her smile. And without any explanation, he took the person to the back kitchen.
Hey, isn't your partiality too obvious
Lin Zhaoxi stayed where she was, shocked.
—
From 6:00 to 7:30, there were more and more people in the dining hall of the oasis base, and Lin Zhaoxi was so busy that he never touched the ground. Wiping the table, putting away the dishes, and seeing someone accidentally pouring soup on the ground, she had to change another rag to wipe it.
Because Lu Zhihao and Hanajuan said they wanted to go to the classroom to read early, they didn't even come to eat, so they asked them to bring steamed buns.
"Auntie, I don't want porridge, I want bread and eggs, so I can take them away."
Passing by the lunch window, Lin Zhaoxi saw a little girl in the same class in their high school group was also shopping. The little girl was carrying a schoolbag, took a fresh-keeping bag, and put the food handed out by her aunt into the bag.
"Zhang Xiaocao, don't you want to drink some soup, will you do it?" Lin Zhaoxi patted the other party's shoulder and asked.
Seeing her, classmate Zhang Xiaocao yawned first, then shook her head: "My mother brought me milk, these can be eaten on the road, which is convenient."
Lin Zhaoxi observed for a while, but all the children in their Olympiad summer camp, no matter how big or small, basically bought breakfast, took it and left, walking in a hurry, as if they could seize the time to read a book for an extra minute.
Bread sold the fastest, and another cart came out of the back kitchen. Next to the pastry chef in white shirt, there was a little boy pushing a cart slowly, it was Pei Zhi.
The baker and Pei Zhi worked together to put the bread on the shelf, rubbed Pei Zhi's head kindly, and gave him a piece of bread from the shelf.
Lin Zhaoxi was so angry that she stuck to the side of the window and winked at Pei Zhi.
Pei Zhi took the bread, glanced out of the window, walked towards her slowly, and stood still through the glass window.
Because of the close distance, Lin Zhaoxi could clearly see a large piece of white flour marks on his left cheek, through the window, she poked Pei Zhi's face with her finger.
Pei Zhi was about to hand out the bread with one hand, so he could only rub his face with the other hand, but the traces of flour became bigger and bigger.
Lin Zhaoxi couldn't help but gloated and laughed.
Classmate Pei Zhixiao's bread was half handed, and she was about to pick it up, but the bread shrank back.
Why are you so vengeful? Lin Zhaoxi glared at Pei Zhi, but stopped laughing immediately, and stood still seriously.
Inside the window, seeing that her attitude was correct, Pei Zhi reached out and tore the bread in half before handing it out.
The bread is golden and crispy, with the aroma of freshly baked butter. Lin Zhaoxi took it, and through the glass window, took a big bite at the same time as Pei Zhi.

Drowsiness is contagious.
They "finished their work" in the cafeteria, drank a bowl of porridge and ran to the classroom. As soon as they entered the door, they found that half of the classroom was full of people.
At half past eight, Xie Ran walked into the classroom, holding yesterday's exam paper in his hand. Looking around, I only saw small yawning mouths and pairs of misty eyes. The whole class seemed to be possessed by sleepy bugs. Seeing this situation, Xie Ran smiled: "What did you guys do last night?"
"Read~book~" all the children in the class said in unison.
"Thought you were watching football all night."
"Yes~no~yes~"
"The German team scored 1-0 yesterday, do you want me to tell you about the game process?" Xie Ran held up the test paper. Through the white paper, one could see the bright red x on the last test paper.
"Teacher, hand out the papers quickly."
"Stop talking, stop talking, there is no time." The students yelled.
Xie Ran smiled even more happily: "Why do you love learning so much? Have you never read a book so seriously?"
"Quickly hand out the papers!" The students slapped the table and shouted, not afraid of Xie Ran at all.
—
"Wang Feng, 68."
"Lu Ming, 72."
"Zhang Liang, 91."
"Chen Chengcheng, 66."
On the podium, Xie Ran reported his grades slowly. When he first reported to 68, some students regretted saying "ah". But soon, when Zhang Liang's grades were released, the classroom quickly fell into silence.
Zhang Liang's primary school bully had an expression of disbelief on his originally complacent face.
"Leader of the first group, come up and get the test papers." After reading, Xie Ran took out the test papers of the four of them and said.
Zhang Liang took the stage with a dark face, took the test paper, and was still flipping through it when he came down. He took out his own paper first, and when he finally gave the test paper to Chen Chengcheng with 66 points, Zhang Liang's primary school bully had an obvious expression of disgust.
They whispered a few words, Zhang Liang's face turned dark, and the boy named Chen Chengcheng turned his head to look out the window, Lin Zhaoxi always felt that he seemed to be crying.
The first group is basically already the strongest combination, with an average score of 74.25, not even good.
Xie Ran deliberately procrastinated for so long before class, probably because he felt that the exam was too horrible, so he deliberately used the method of enlivening the atmosphere to let everyone relax first.
Below the first group is their second group.
Lu Zhihao lay on the table, closed his eyes tightly, and almost covered his ears and didn't want to hear the grades. Lin Zhaoxi was also very nervous, her heart was beating very fast, she instantly drew her attention away from Chen Chengcheng, what if she failed the exam
She began to worry.
"Lu Zhihao, 62." Xie Ran read. Classmate Xiao Lu was stunned for a moment, and then began to rub his face, both happy and frustrated.
"Hanamaki 45." After listening to Hanamaki, she rubbed a few hairs.
"Pei Zhi, 97."
Lin Zhaoxi's heart skipped a beat, it's over, Pei Zhidu didn't get full marks.
"Lin Zhaoxi, 98." Xie Ran continued to read.
After reporting her grades, the whole class was briefly quiet, as if the air had been sucked clean.
Lin Zhaoxi's first reaction was, did she get Fermat's little theorem right? She basically guessed blindly, can this be right
Only then did she realize that she seemed... to have scored higher in the exam than Pei Zhi
A low exclamation broke out in the class, eyes shot from all directions, suspicious, amazed, envious...
Like saying, how is this possible? How could she do so well in the exam.
Lin Zhaoxi was also dazed for a while, until Xie Ran said, "The leader of the second team is here to get the paper."
Hearing this, the four members of their group began to look at each other in blank dismay. Hanajuan winked at her, Pei Zhi nodded, Lu Zhihao gave her a push, and said, "Go."
In full view, Lin Zhaoxi walked up to the podium, took the test paper, and instead she became sober.
"The exam was good." Xie Ran said.
"Thank you, teacher." Lin Zhaoxi flipped through the test papers and returned to her seat, and took a rough look at everyone's answers.
Pei Zhi was actually all right, but he was not as clear-cut as her in sorting out the knowledge points, so he deducted one point more than her.
As for Lu Zhihao, he has a pretty good grasp of the elementary school Mathematical Olympiad knowledge points, but he is helpless when it comes to content that is beyond ordinary difficulty.
As for Hanamaki, Lin Zhaoxi was shocked when she saw the multiple-choice questions in Hanamaki.
"In the future, can you not choose all c?" She handed the paper to Hanamaki and said in a low voice.
"Then should I choose d?" Hanamaki asked.
"The four options have the same probability." This was Pei Zhi's answer.
Lin Zhaoxi shook his head: "Remember, three longs and one short choose the shortest; three shorts and one long choose the longest; if the lengths are different, choose b; if they are uneven, choose d"
"No problem!" Hanamaki laughed.
Lu Zhihao also gave a "poof" and gave a thumbs up in admiration, temporarily forgetting about his grades.
This was probably their happiest moment of the day. After all, no matter what, their team scored an average of 75.5 points on the first day, which was exactly one point higher than Zhang Liang's team. Is there anything more satisfying than seeing Zhang Liang deflated
—
But the moment of relaxation is indeed only for a while.
There are three classes in the morning.
Xie Ran spent a class talking about yesterday's test paper, and the whole class was hit by the grade, very depressed.
The second class is about expanding and extending the content, mainly some knowledge points of Olympiad in junior high school, and the time is very tight. Xie Ran focused on the content of congruence and Fermat's little theorem that was tested yesterday.
In the third class, Xie Ran started to talk about what he asked them to sort out yesterday, that is, the knowledge structure. But compared to expanding the content, the children are more in a state of "what are you talking about?"
Xie Ran put his hands on the podium, and said casually: "What do all the chapters marked with '1' have in common? After a day of hard work yesterday, what new discoveries did you guys have?"
"It's about numbers." All the students said in unison.
"Remove the slash." Xie Ran said, "To be precise, it's a number."
"Can anyone tell me what's the difference between a number and a number?" Xie Ran asked.
The primary school students were all dazed. For them, this was almost a new point of view. Numbers are different from numbers, and they have never done this kind of discrimination, although this is indeed the most important thing to understand before learning mathematics.
Xie Ran said very simply: "Specifically, there are four main differences between numbers and numbers. First..."
Xie Ran's lectures were very fast, and they were basically theoretical content. As a top student in the Department of Mathematics of Sanwei University, he stood far above these elementary school students, and the content of his explanations required the students' abstract understanding ability.
Lin Zhaoxi observed the difference. Except for a small number of children who can roughly understand the difference he said, more students can only bury their heads in copying the blackboard.
"After having a basic understanding of natural numbers, we will talk about number systems. The sequence of natural numbers is always endless. After any natural number, we can write the next natural number—n 1... Most of the sequences you have encountered Questions like what number is the number can all be attributed to the study of the logarithmic system... "
Xie Ran said while writing on the blackboard. Lin Zhaoxi circled a key word casually, and she gradually discovered that what Xie Ran taught was very basic, and there was no problem at all, which was much better than those teachers who taught formulas from scratch.
But because it is too basic, these contents are farther away from what children usually learn. Lin Zhaoxi thought, if he slowed down, it would be better to speak in a simple way. But there are too many knowledge points to sort out, Xie Ran has no chance to stop and explain in detail, he can only keep pushing forward.
This kind of progress is too fast, even though these children in the class are considered to be the group with a good foundation in mathematics, the expressions on their faces are still getting more and more serious.
All the kids' heads are about to explode.
Fortunately, at the end of the class, Xie Ran posted a standard answer of yesterday's knowledge points, almost as if he had lost a life-saving straw. Lin Zhaoxi read it carefully and found that it was more like the later mind map. It was detailed and at the same time gave the children a new understanding of how to organize knowledge points.
"Squad leader! This is a cheat book!" She was about to tell Lu Zhihao about this material when the get out of class bell rang. All the children in the class stuffed the papers into their school bags at the same time, without even looking at them, and rushed to the reading room with their bags on their backs.
