The day before leaving, Lin Zhaoxi moved into Lao Lin's house.
At the end of the summer camp, Lao Lin wanted her to go home, but the dean's mother insisted on going through the formal process.
Anyway, they tore it up for a long time, and on the day she finally took the Jin Cup Exam, she still set off from the orphanage.
The 25 students representing Anning City gathered in the sports center and took the bus to the province to take the exam. The team was led by Vice President Zhang and the instructor was Lao Lin.
That's right, after she rushed upstairs, Vice Principal Zhang's attitude changed, mainly reflected in the educational policy and the selection of teachers.
Zhang Shuping turned a blind eye, and slowly, Lao Lin began to teach the whole class for no reason.
In the end, it was decided that he would lead the team together, mainly because—his stand-up comedy is better.
This is what Vice President Zhang said.
She, Pei Zhi, Xu Xiaoming, Chen Chengcheng, and Zhang Liang got into the big car together. They were the official members of the small high team. Lu Zhihao was also there, and he was a substitute.
Lao Lin said that Chen Chengcheng's ability to stand out in the end has a lot to do with his tenacity. As for Zhang Liang being selected, even Zhang Liang himself was surprised.
However, according to Comrade Lao Lin's pre-competition mobilization, we are a lenient organization, and we should give extremists certain opportunities to fight for leniency.
So Vice President Zhang is right, Lao Lin's stand-up comedy is really good.
For the official competition on August 15th, they arrived at Yongchuan, the provincial capital, on the 14th. The opening ceremony was the day before, the competition day was on the 15th, and the results were announced on the 16th.
The hotel is very close to Yongchuan University and is an old-fashioned five-star hotel.
The lobby was smelling fragrant, and it was full of participating students who had checked in.
The uncles and aunts working in the hotel treated them very well. When foreign friends asked about it, the lobby manager introduced them as students who came to participate in the mathematics competition. The thumbs up and admiration made their vanity great. satisfy.
That's what mathematics is about.
Although many people hate it, they will definitely not hate people who are good at mathematics, so keep them at a respectful distance, respect is still at the top.
The opening ceremony was held at Yongchuan University.
More than a dozen participating teams, according to the ranking of last year's total results, they are in the bottom two.
Here is a brief explanation of the Jin Cup team competition system. The team competition is divided into different groups according to elementary school, junior high school, junior high school, and high school, and the team champions of different groups will be determined.
And the sum of the scores of the four groups of members of each participating team will get the total score of the team. The highest total score of the team will be the championship, and there will be a super golden trophy.
It was precisely because he and his team in Anning City had an unsatisfactory group score last year, so they could only sit at the end of the auditorium now.
Sometimes Vice President Zhang is right, there are not so many people spoiling you outside.
But it was strange that neither Vice Principal Zhang nor Lao Lin was ashamed at all as they were sitting on the countdown.
"Students, please be happy, let's save some face for the last-to-last friends."
Comrade Lao Lin cheered everyone up, and was almost beaten by the leader of the last team in Tianmu City and all the students.
There is nothing to think about before the exam.
Other teams had pre-match mobilization or warm-up exercises at night. They were led by Lao Lin and had a barbecue together.
Zhang Liang was the most reluctant: "My mother said that children will become stupid after eating barbecue."
"You're not very smart if you don't eat!" They held up mutton skewers and shouted to Zhang Liang in unison.
"This kind of team training can increase friendship." Lao Lin took a sip of Coca-Cola and laughed at Vice Principal Zhang who opposed the barbecue.
At that time, it was dusk outside the barbecue shop, and the street lights were slightly yellow, which was a scene that can only be seen in the best dreams.
On the day of the exam on August 15, the sun was hot. It is said that the temperature reached the highest temperature ever recorded in Yongchuan.
The exam process is generally safe and sound.
The "surprise" was that in the middle of the exam, the teaching building had a power outage!
"No danger" means that although all the fans stopped and each of them was "roasted" by the high temperature and sweated profusely, no one had heat stroke at all.
The organizers distributed fans and cooling oil to them urgently, but when they got the items, there were only five minutes left for the exam.
Lin Zhaoxi is checking the test papers. This year's questions are more difficult than previous years. She is not very sure about two of them, which shows how perverted the competition questions are.
As she made complaints, she always felt that it was rare for the high school group to break through the sky.
The truth is about the same.
After leaving the examination room, they fanned themselves with fans printed with the slogan "National Mathematics Olympiad, benefiting the country and the people", and sat in the shade of a tree waiting for the high school group.
At 10:40, the high school group exams were over, and through the classroom window, the boys and girls inside were mentally crushed, and all of them were hopeless.
"I don't know if the exams will be so difficult when we were in high school." Lu Zhihao, a backup player, said with emotion.
Zhang Liang snorted coldly: "I want to join the national training team in high school, so I won't participate in this."
Hearing this, Lin Zhaoxi and Pei Zhi glanced at each other.
"What do you mean!" Zhang Liang shouted at them.
"It's nothing, don't think too much." Lin Zhaoxi relieved.
"Don't think too much." Pei Zhi also said.
Zhang Liang didn't understand at first, but when Lao Lin laughed out loud, Zhang Liang realized that he almost vomited blood.
In short, the Jin Cup has reached the third day in this noisy atmosphere.
Their Anning City team is definitely not the most united team, but it will definitely rank among the least united teams.
The award ceremony announced the results at the same time, and the entire venue was silent.
They still sit second to last, far from the main stage.
The larger the venue, the more students, and the nervousness of announcing grades increases exponentially.
A group of results are constantly revealed, champion, runner-up, third runner-up.
Lin Zhaoxi was able to hold Lao Lin's hand at first, but then she was so scared that she closed her eyes and plugged her ears.
Until the end, the award presenter announced: "The team that won the first place in the senior elementary school group of this promotion cup competition is the team from Anning City!"
She clenched her fists tightly and swung them towards the sky.
"Aww!" Lu Zhihao yelled.
The audience applauded thunderously, amidst the crackling and crackling sounds of excitement, there were also the sounds of Zhang Liang and Lu Zhihao sparring at each other.
Zhang Liang: "You didn't participate in the competition, what's the matter with you."
Lu Zhihao: "I want you to take care of it!"
Zhang Liang: "Fat pig!"
Lu Zhihao: "Fool!"
Lao Lin sat on the outermost side, ignoring them, and just waited slowly for their quarrel to end.
"Anning Primary School Senior Group, please come to the stage to receive the award!" The host began to urge.
Hearing this, Lao Lin stood up slowly, and said in a drawn-out tone: "Here, here, the seat is too queen, please wait a moment."
Looking at his father's back in a rare suit and leather shoes, Lin Zhaoxi suddenly felt that he did it on purpose to take revenge on the organizer for sitting in the back row twice.
In the end, they won the first place in the province in the total score of the Jinjiang Cup primary school senior group in the province.
But it is a pity that because their city's high school group did not perform well, they still lost to Yongchuan City in terms of group total points.
Watching the Yongchuan City team work together to lift the trophy that symbolizes the championship, it must be false to say no regrets.

As the sun was setting, Lin Zhaoxi pushed open the door.
No. 284 Zhuanzhu Lane, this is the room she has been familiar with since she was a child.
There is a small desk, a wooden bookcase, a pot of spider plants in the window, and a pink lace mosquito net on the bed. Lao Lin has tried his best to arrange it for taking her home.
Although the room is not big and the walls are slightly moldy, but the whole atmosphere is familiar to her, this is the feeling of home!
Lao Lin was cooking outside, and she looked around the room, but didn't see what she was looking for for a while.
Although the room was cleaned up, in general, people's habits will not change...
Lin Zhaoxi walked to the bookcase, opened the door familiarly, and with a bang, a lot of messy things rolled out from the bottom of the bookcase.
Magazines, candy boxes, shoe boxes with only boxes, etc...
In Strawberry World, Lao Lin likes to stuff things under the bookcase the most, and it really doesn't change in Cheese.
She squatted down and inspected the garbage dump for a long time, and finally found what she was looking for—it was a round blue tin box.
The words Danish Blue Can Cookies were printed on the tin box, and the paint was slightly peeled off around the edges, and it took her a little effort to open the box.
As expected, there was nothing in the box except for the remaining cookie crumbs.
Lin Zhaoxi was very happy. In Strawberry World, Lao Lin had given her such an iron box and asked her to put important commemorative things in the box.
Because she was used to it, the iron box accompanied her through elementary school, junior high school, and high school...even to college, there was still a rusty Danish blue cookie box at the bottom of her bookcase.
Even though she hadn't been with Lao Lin since she was a child in the cheese world, her habits would not change, so as expected, she still found this iron box.
Lin Zhaoxi turned the iron box upside down and patted it flat, and put it on the ground next to her seat.
And on her right hand is a stack of colored papers, which still smells like a scent.
Before the end of the summer camp, she asked all the students in the class to write a classmate list, including home address, phone number, future career and future dream university.
Lu Zhihao—
dream: doctor
Future University: Sanwei University.
Hanamaki—
dream: actor
Future University: Since everyone wants to study in Sanwei University, I will also study in Sanwei University
Pei Zhi—
Dream: learn mathematics
Future University: Sanmi University
Under the setting sun, the children's fonts are particularly childish.
Lin Zhaoxi shamelessly memorized their home phone numbers and addresses.
Although no one can say for sure what the situation will be in ten years, but in general, it will be convenient to block people when the time comes.
She folded the papers and put them into the iron box, and this action revealed the originally covered photos on the ground.
The photo was taken on the Jin Cup awards stage.
At that time, Zhang Liang insisted on being squeezed in the middle in order to get a seat. They pushed and shoved on the awarding platform. At the end, there was a click, the flashlight was turned on, and everyone in the group photo became crooked. Vice President Zhang's face turned black with anger .
Gently tapping the gold medal around her neck with her finger, Lin Zhaoxi also put the photo into the iron box.
The orange sunset outside the window just fell in the box, shining golden.
Looking at the photos and classmate records dyed golden, Lin Zhaoxi closed the lid.
If the world of cheese affects the world of strawberries, these things are in the future.
But I don’t know what will happen to you in the future
Thinking of this, she heard Lao Lin shouting in the yard.
"time to eat!"
"Okay!" Lin Zhaoxi stood up, put the tin box back in the bookcase, closed the door, and opened the door.
Under the setting sun, his father was wearing an apron and was holding a bowl of crucian carp soup and putting it down on the stone table in the courtyard.
The evening sun is warm and warm, like broken gold.
