Zhou Tianxing has been working very hard to participate in mathematics competitions these days. He has been working on questions every day. He had finished all the sets of mathematics competition papers that Cheng wanted to buy for him before, and he asked Cheng to buy a few more sets for him.
This hard work made Cheng Xiang smack his tongue. Looking at the medical book in his hand, he felt deeply ashamed.
In order for Zhou Tianxing to participate in the competition, the principal also specially called Cheng Xiang to the school and gave him a good warning, so that Cheng Xiang must pay attention to it.
Cheng Xiang asked tentatively: "Principal, what kind of competition is this? Is it a Mathematical Olympiad?"
The principal looked puzzled: "What Mathematical Olympiad?"
It seems that Mathematical Olympiad has not become popular yet.
"It is a national mathematics competition for middle school students. This competition was held in 1978 and was highly valued by the education department. During the finals that year, all the country's famous mathematicians came to the examination room. The country is now focusing on developing science and technology. These are all related to mathematics. are closely related, and mathematicians will be in hot demand in the future.”
What the principal said was conclusive, and Cheng nodded without thinking. She 100% agreed with this.
"Tianxing, this kid, delayed his studies due to various reasons in the past, but his math scores have always been good. After his grades slowly improved this year, his math talent gradually became more prominent. He actually had all the math knowledge in junior high school. Master it all.
Now it seems that it is not a problem for this child to get into junior high school. It just depends on which junior high school he can get into. If his grades are outstanding, it may not be impossible to be admitted to a key middle school in the city. "The principal said to Cheng Xiang earnestly: "As a parent, you should pay attention and don't waste your children's talents. Teacher Cheng, you are knowledgeable. You must understand what I am saying, right? "
Cheng Xiang nodded: "I understand the principal, don't worry, I will fully support you."
Cheng Xiang also specially held a small meeting for the two little guys to ask them not to bother their uncle during this period, so that he could prepare for the exam with peace of mind.
The two little guys nodded seriously. Zhou Yang was even more attentive to his uncle, serving tea and water, and tiptoeing around the room for fear of disturbing his uncle.
The exam was scheduled for this Sunday, Saturday afternoon. Zhou Tianxing came out of the room, stretched his waist, expanded his chest, and found that the house was unusually quiet.
When I walked to the living room, I saw Zhou Yang lying on the table doing homework, Qing'er drawing, and Cheng Xiang reading a medical book.
Seeing Zhou Tianxing walking in, Cheng Xiang put down his book and asked with concern: "What's wrong? Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?"
Zhou Tianxing shook his head and walked over to see Zhou Yang playing with the rubber bit by bit.
"Have you finished your homework?" Zhou Tianxing asked.
Zhou Yang nodded.
"Why don't you go out and play?" This kid was rarely so quiet.
Zhou Yang said softly: "Uncle, you have an exam tomorrow. I'm running around to avoid disturbing you."
Zhou Tianxing smiled and said, "No, let's go, I'll take you out to play."
Zhou Yang's eyes flashed with surprise, he looked at Cheng Xiang again, and whispered, "Okay?"
Zhou Tianxing: "Okay, I'm tired from doing the questions. Let's go out and change my mind."
Cheng Xiang smiled and said, "Okay, Xiao Yang, let's go out with my uncle for a walk. We'll be back for dinner later."
"Okay." Zhou Yang jumped down from the stool excitedly.
Qing'er also climbed down from the stool and said, "Uncle, I'm tired of painting too. I want to change my mind."
Zhou Tianxing pinched her face and said, "Okay, I will take you with me. When I come back later, you can play a piece of music for me, and my mind will be clearer, okay?"
"good"
Zhou Tianxing took the two little guys out of the door, and Cheng wanted to get up and go to the kitchen.
Thinking about what to cook.
I have an exam tomorrow, so I’d better eat something light, so as not to burden my gastrointestinal tract with greasy food, which may affect my condition if I feel uncomfortable.
I started making simple mushrooms and vegetables, fish-flavored tofu, a small stir-fried pork, and a white porridge.
The meat and vegetables were all available, and Cheng Xiang looked at the meal with satisfaction. It tasted good.
The children also came back and had a playful meal. Cheng Xiang sent the children to bed early.
After all, getting enough sleep is also important before an exam.
At around nine o'clock in the evening, Cheng wanted to go out for a drink of water and found that the light in Zhou Tianxing's room was still on.
Then he put on some clothes and went over, knocking lightly on the door.
Zhou Tianxing opened the door and saw her whispering: "Sister-in-law."
"Why aren't you sleeping yet? You need to have a good rest so that you will be energetic tomorrow." Cheng Xiang walked into the room and saw that Zhou Yang was already asleep.
Zhou Tianxing scratched his head: "I did a few more questions."
Cheng Xiang smiled at him and said, "You've done enough questions. Now it's just muscle memory. Don't do it. Have a good rest and give your brain a rest."
Zhou Tianxing nodded: "Okay."
"Are you nervous?" Cheng Xiang looked into his eyes and asked.
From the first day he met Zhou Tianxing, this child had a calm and neither arrogant nor impetuous temperament.
In this era, children go to school late. In future generations, Zhou Tianxing should be graduating from junior high school soon.
This period should be during adolescence. She has seen adolescent children who are rebellious for the sake of rebellion, talk little and have a bad temper, and they dislike everyone.
She had a colleague's son before, who was 14 years old and in the second grade of junior high school. He studied well, was well-behaved and polite. Every time her mother talked about her son, she was full of pride. However, he actually harmed himself. When his mother found out, his wrists had already There was gurgling blood, and his mother was frightened to death, so she sent him directly to the hospital.
Later, he went to see a psychiatrist. He said that he had no freedom and was not recognized. His parents only cared about his grades and nothing else. He just felt very stuffy in his heart. There was a breath that was going back and forth and he couldn't find an outlet. Only pain could make him feel better. pleasure.
Later, her mother resigned directly and took good care of her son at home. She didn't dare to speak, scold, or even speak loudly, for fear of irritating him again and losing control of him. She just let things take their own course.
It sounded incredible at the time. Everyone was in adolescence. Cheng Xiang felt that when he was in adolescence, he was just a bit more individual, more aggressive, and didn't seem to have any extreme behavior. He couldn't help but sigh that children today may be really under too much pressure. Come on.
Looking at Zhou Tianxing now, he should be in adolescence at this age, but there is no trace of hostility or irritability in him. He helps Cheng Xiang take care of the family and the children, just like an adult.
But looking back, this child has lived in an unhealthy family environment since he was a child, and his mental age is much older than his actual age.
Life did not give him time or conditions to rebel, so he could only force himself to grow up.
Cheng Xiang looked at the young boy in front of him and comforted him softly: "Don't be nervous, it's just an exam, take it easy."
Zhou Tianxing nodded: "I'm not nervous. The principal said that doing well in this competition will help me get into junior high school. I think it's a rare opportunity and I want to do my best."
Cheng thought: "Tian Xing, with your current academic performance, it is no longer a problem to get into junior high school. If you can do well this time, you may be able to be admitted to a key middle school in the city. Are you willing to go to school in the city?"
Zhou Tianxing shook his head: "I don't want to."
Cheng thought: "Why? The school education resources in the city are definitely better than those in the towns and villages, and there are more opportunities. All aspects of the conditions in the city are much better than those in the countryside."
Zhou Tianxing pursed his lips and said, "The city is so nice, why did you come to the country?"
Cheng wanted to blink, but he couldn't tell the child that he was here to hold his thigh until it was broken, right? It doesn’t conform to conventional educational concepts.
Zhou Tianxing looked at Cheng Xiang's look and smiled softly: "Don't worry, I will do well in the exam. As long as I study hard, it doesn't matter where I go to school."
Cheng Xiang was at a loss for words. In order not to affect his mood for tomorrow's exam, he stopped arguing with him. Let's talk about the rest later.
"Well, go to bed early before it's too late."
"good."
