The application form that Miss Li was holding was stuck in mid-air, she pouted her lips and signaled Zhou Xiu to write.
After reading the text message, Zhou Xiu's lips curled up quietly, and she said, "No need, teacher."
She showed the class teacher the text message she had just received on her phone.
After reading it, Miss Li's tightly locked brows were loosened quietly, joy climbed up her face, and she said, "Congratulations!"
Zhou Xiu not only received a bursary, but also got the qualification to reduce tuition and miscellaneous fees. This is a surprise for Miss Li.
Miss Li was skeptical about the bursary before, so Zhou Xiu's family background is indeed enough to qualify for the bursary.
But Zhou Xiu gave up first, and Miss Li did not continue to investigate further.
"Take advantage of this opportunity. Yude is actually very good. The laboratories and equipment are all up-to-date, and the quality development courses are more abundant than other high schools. If you want to study abroad in the future, there is nothing wrong with staying here."
Miss Li patted Zhou Xiu on the shoulder and said.
Zhou Xiu nodded, "I will work hard."
The reason why she wants to transfer is because Yude's tuition is really too expensive. The tuition and miscellaneous fees add up to more than 100,000 a year. It's not that Zhou Xiu can't afford it, but it doesn't make much sense to insist on staying in this noble private school even though his family is not well off.
Zhou Xiu couldn't find any more reasons to convince herself.
But today, when she saw the tidbits Yu Qingyan and the others looking lost, stuffed with a drawer of small gifts, and all kinds of classmates, a hot current rushed to her heart.
For this warm group and for the friends who care about her, she is willing to work harder.
Zhou Xiu walked out of the office.
As soon as she walked out, the students from class 24 surrounded her and surrounded her: "Xiuxiu shouldn't be leaving, right?"
"What did Miss Li tell you?"
Yu Qingyan hugged Zhou Xiu and rubbed against her, "Xiuxiu, don't leave. My rubbish math depends on you."
"I'll teach you English."
Yu Qingyan used to only get 20 or 30 points in the mathematics test, and was often crushed by Lao Huang over and over again. Zhou Xiu made a set of plans for her and helped her tutor several times during the winter vacation. Yu Qingyan could already score about 70 points in the monthly exam this semester.
Zhou Xiu was startled, and helplessly pushed her hand away: "Don't worry, I won't leave."
But the sound was too low for everyone to hear.
Yuan Ruoyi said coldly: "I asked the head teacher about it, so you want to go to No. 1 Middle School."
"Cut, No. 1 Middle School is not as good as Yude." Yuan Ruoyi said contemptuously.
Everyone in their class thought that Zhou Xiu would go to the provincial No. 4 middle school instead of the demonstration No. 1 middle school. Compared with the No. 4 Middle School, the No. 1 Middle School is simply weak.
"If you are really..." Yuan Ruoyi paused awkwardly, "You can come and be my tutor, 500 yuan an hour."
500 yuan/hour, Zhou Xiu was stunned.
She patted Yuan Ruoyi on the shoulder and shook her head: "Stop talking, 500 yuan an hour, I can make up for your bankruptcy, do you believe it?"
A thought slowly popped up in everyone's mind: Seek help until bankruptcy!
There is such a beautiful lady with good grades to help with homework, which is the source of motivation for learning. It's exciting when it's tutoring time.
In addition, Zhou Xiuguang's review materials can make people improve by several points in a short period of time. She herself is so good at tutoring...
Her thinking is very clear, and she can use the simplest method to solve complex problems. Some scumbags in the class like to ask Zhou Xiu questions.
Du Feiyang said with a smile: "You should come, I will give you the address right away!"
As soon as Du Feiyang finished speaking, Tan Ming covered his mouth forcefully with his big palm.
Zhou Xiu pursed her lips and said loudly: "You don't have to worry, I won't transfer to another school. The school waived my tuition and miscellaneous fees."
"Thank you for caring so much about me."
The students in Class 24 were completely relieved, "It's fine if you don't leave."
"There are 48 brothers and sisters in our class, and none of them is missing." A certain student said.
"Without Xiuxiu and the removal of the main players, how much less will the average score of the next class be!" Another scumbag jokingly said.
"So for the honor of the class, Xiuxiu should stay in class 24." Xu Qing said with a smile.
Tidbits patted Zhou Xiu's head, "Go back to the classroom."
Zhou Xiu shook her head, "Go back first, I still have some things to do."
Yu Qingyan wanted to follow Zhou Xiu, but Zhou Xiu said to her, "I'm going to the principal's office, are you coming too?"
Yu Qingyan shook her head violently.
Yu Qingyan didn't even want to go to the legendary purgatory of the principal's office, even if she had to borrow a hundred courage from the sky.
Zhou Xiu went to the principal's office, she knocked on the door of the office, and saw the busy principal and his office assistant.
Yude's principal is surnamed Xu.
Zhou Xiu simply thanked the school for giving her the treatment of reducing tuition and miscellaneous fees.
She paused for a moment, and continued: "It is very favorable for me to be able to waive tuition and miscellaneous fees, but I don't need stipends, and I hope to leave it for students who need it more."
There are still poor students who take the initiative to ask for scholarship refunds
Principal Xu's eyes fell on this student. Her back was straight, her mouth was pursed with a hint of stubbornness, but her eyes were pure and honest.
Principal Xu thought for a moment and agreed to Zhou Xiu.
"Come on, your teacher has high hopes for you. Prepare well for the competition, I hope you can win glory for the school."
Zhou Xiu nodded solemnly, "I will."
Zhou Xiu deeply kept the principal's words in her heart, and the school immediately reduced her tuition and miscellaneous fees by more than 100,000 yuan. Just for this money, Zhou Xiu sharpened his head and wanted to compete for the award.
She left the principal's office.
Principal Xu didn't take this matter to heart, and it was just a matter of lifting Zhou Xiu's tuition fee.
Today, after being reminded by two teachers, Principal Xu found out that Zhou Xiu’s family is really difficult. Both parents are self-employed and earn a living by setting up stalls, so they cannot afford the heavy tuition fees.
Yude's tuition fees are expensive, and Yude's poor students are all gifted students poached by the school. They can rely on scholarships, bursaries, and enjoy the school's preferential policies to study in Yude.
Zhou Xiu's grades have reached the school's funding standards, and Principal Xu can't help but wonder why such students can't enjoy the school's preferential policies
Yude has always spent a lot of money to recruit top students from other schools. It makes no sense that the top students in his own school are too poor to pay the tuition fees and are forced to transfer.
Principal Xu frowned.
…
After school, Zhou Xiu took out the book on counting and read it carefully.
Before she knew it, she read the entire chapter. Looking up, I found that it was almost past meal time.
She put down her book and went to the cafeteria to eat. At this time, the students in class 24 finished their meal in twos and threes and were about to leave the cafeteria. Seeing Zhou Xiu at this time, the students were stunned.
I didn't pay much attention to it usually, did Zhou Xiu come to the dining hall to eat so late
Yu Qingyan ran to buy a piece of braised pork for Zhou Xiu, "Xiuxiu, try it! Today's meat is so soft and sticky."
Yu Qingyan met several times, and Zhou Xiu beat pork belly to eat.
Seeing this, another classmate also graciously bought a milk tea and stuffed it into her hand.
Several other students saw her and were ready to make a meal for her. "The pineapple sweet and sour pork on the second floor seems to be good."
"Xiuxiu, the sizzling beef tenderloin with black pepper is delicious!"
Zhou Xiu hurriedly stopped their behavior, took out her meal card, and reminded: "I have a meal card from Du Feiyang, have you forgotten?"
Only then did they think of the "bad idea" that Du Feiyang came up with on Christmas Day. They didn't expect that the most unpopular meal card turned out to be Zhou Xiu's most practical thing.
"Then, Xiuxiu, eat more." Lan Xin said.
The girls were about to go back to the dormitory, but halfway through they realized that Zhou Xiu hadn't had a room for the past two semesters.
Before they understood Zhou Xiu's family background, they would not pay attention to these things at all. Most of the students in Class 24 are commuters, not boarders. Zhou Xiu didn't live in a boarding house, and she wasn't very prominent in the class.
In other words... Zhou Xiu has been solving it casually at school at noon in the past few months
A girl said sullenly: "She is too miserable."
Yu Qingyan was a little silent, and she obviously agreed.
The tidbit is a day student, she does not board at the school, but there is a bed for her in the dormitory. She would go to sleep for a while when she didn't have time to go home, although she didn't sleep a few times throughout the year.
Tidbits said for the first time: "Xiuxiu is not as miserable as you imagined."
Zhou Xiu must not like this special care either.
In the impression of tidbits, Zhou Xiu is a very powerful existence, she can take care of herself in any place. These sympathies are probably a burden to her.
She said lightly: "If you don't believe me, go ask her if she would like to take a lunch break in the dormitory."
Several girls turned around and ran back to ask Zhou Xiu: "Xiuxiu, would you like to come to our dormitory to take a nap. We have free seats in our dormitory."
Zhou Xiu was happily eating braised pork, she was taken aback, "No, thank you."
Those wet, innocent and warm eyes made Zhou Xiu's heart soften.
She touched her little friend's head with clean hands, "Don't worry about me, thank you, actually... I'm not too poor, it's okay."
Zhou Xiu can still afford the monthly accommodation fee of 1,000 yuan, but she is used to using the time at noon to expand her studies. Going to bed earlier at night, the dormitory life is a trouble for Zhou Xiu.
"Go back, don't worry about me."
Zhou Xiu couldn't help shaking her head, and sent her friends away.
After dinner, she went to the library to borrow an Olympiad book called "Number Theory: Concepts and Methods", but when she opened it, it was in English. Zhou Xiu went to consult the administrator, and the library didn't have any in Chinese. Version.
This is the book that Zhou Xiu has been waiting for for a long time. She hesitated for a long time, thinking that she should be able to understand the formulas of pure mathematics, so she borrowed it.
The system said earnestly: [The pain of learning English is temporary, but the pain of not learning English is permanent.]
[English is a very important communication tool.]
Zhou Xiu: […]
Zhou Xiu went back to the classroom and read "Number Theory". He picked up the parts with many mathematical symbols and formulas, but his head ached.
This is a theoretical book that the Olympiad training team needs to use. Lao Wang also recommended it. Zhou Xiu must read it. She bit the bullet and read it, using Google Translate while watching. After an hour, she was about to vomit.
The combination of English and difficult Mathematical Olympiad became a gap that Zhou Xiu could not overcome.
At 2:00pm, students from class 24 came to the classroom in twos and threes.
Xu Qing glanced at Zhou Xiu staring at the book in a daze, and couldn't help laughing: "It's rare that there are things you don't know."
"It's hard to watch, isn't it?"
Xu Qing saw that what Zhou Xiu was reading was a book about mathematics, which was about advanced mathematics. No wonder she, who is usually not good at English, would take the initiative to read pure English books.
Xu Qing paused, and said, "This is a universal language with the widest spread. If you want to understand the most cutting-edge science and technology in the world, you must master this language."
Tidbits put down her schoolbag and shook her head helplessly. She took the math Olympiad book borrowed by Zhou Xiu and began to translate it word by word.
Zhou Xiu was dumbfounded.
Unexpectedly, Momo could accurately translate the mathematics literature easily, and she was almost deceived by Momo's usual appearance of a salty fish.
Zhou Xiu followed the tidbits' translation and read it sentence by sentence, and it turned out to be smoother than her own understanding using Google Translate.
Tidbits then read to Zhou Xiu a few pages of what she was reading. Zhou Xiu could no longer be described as stunned, she was simply amazed and admiring.
"Xu Xu is really powerful."
It is no wonder that Yude High School directly purchased the English version. For its students, there is no obstacle to reading pure English literature.
Tidbits shrugged, "What is this?"
"I told you a long time ago that you need to catch up on English, and English is an unavoidable subject."
Zhou Xiu propped her chin with both hands, her eyes were empty. She has cruelly recognized the gap between her and her classmates. Although Xiu Neng got a triple-digit score in the exam last week, compared with the real English-speaking classmates, there is still a gap like a natural barrier.
Many of the bibliographies that Zhou Xiu wanted to read were in English.
Xu Qing said: "Don't be depressed, there is still time to make up for it."
The tidbits added Zhou Xiu's knife again: "Xiuxiu is so smart, why is she poor in English?"
Zhou Xiu couldn't help covering her face.
At this time, Du Feiyang came to the classroom, and he complained: "If you don't know how to learn, we used to be bad at math, garbage in physics, and hopeless in chemistry. .”
The scumbags nodded, describing it so realistically and inhumanly.
Why is Zhou Xiu's science so good? In a short period of time, mathematics, physics and chemistry soared into the sky like a rocket.
Now it seems that it is probably the same as her looking at why they can speak English so well.
Seeing Zhou Xiu's frowning look, the dregs couldn't help laughing.
God is always fair.
While the old man left a door for Zhou Xiu, he also closed the window for her.
A classmate from class 24 said: "Xiuxiu, you are only poor in English. If you improve your English, your grades will obviously skyrocket. No matter how hard you take the exam, you won't be afraid anymore."
"There is always something that you are not good at, conquer it!"
"Believe in the power of hard work!" Yu Qingyan said.
Zhou Xiu couldn't help laughing out loud.
Tidbits tapped his thumb on the table, and said lightly: "Don't tell me, if you go to another school, no matter how hard you try to supplement English, I'm afraid it will be worth 130 points at best, but you are in Yude, we You will get full marks in the college entrance examination!"
Zhou Xiu couldn't help but feel ashamed when she heard the tidbits.
At best... only one hundred and thirty cents
Zhou Xiu felt that it was enough to be thankful that she could score 130 points in the exam.
Xu Qing had a faint smile on her lips, "Our school's English test paper is more difficult than the college entrance examination. Usually, you can get 120 points in the exam, and there is no problem when you get 130 in the college entrance exam."
"Xiu Xiu doesn't believe in us, but she also believes in herself."
