A week later, Zhou Tianxing was notified of winning the mathematics competition and was going to represent the city in the provincial capital to participate in the finals.
Cheng Xiang took Zhou Tianxing's award certificate and the final notice, opened his mouth slightly, glanced at Zhou Tianlei and said, "Zhou Tianlei, your ancestral grave is really smoking."
Zhou Tianlei and Zhou Tianxing stood aside and looked at her funny.
Compared to Cheng Xiang's excitement, the two brothers seemed very calm.
"Be well prepared and the future is bright." Cheng wanted to pat Zhou Tianxing on the shoulder.
Zhou Tianxing nodded with a smile: "I will."
Zhou Tianlei's pig farm has passed the initial screening for army procurement.
The final selection results will be determined in two weeks, which happens to be close to Zhou Tianxing's finals.
Zhou Tianlei and Cheng Xiang discussed driving to the provincial capital with her and their three children.
Doing errands, taking exams, and taking the kids for a walk around the provincial capital.
Cheng Xiang advocates taking children out for more walks. As the saying goes, it is better to travel thousands of miles to read thousands of books. Take the children to meet people, see the outside world, experience different cultural environments, and see the mountains and rivers. , helps broaden their horizons.
I asked Tianxing before if he wanted to go to school in the city, and Tianxing said no. Cheng Xiang felt that his vision was too narrow, and he should take him out and let him see the bigger world, which would help open up his thinking and pattern.
Obviously people of this era do not have this level of educational philosophy, and the word tourism is still very unfamiliar to them.
Many children in later generations began to study abroad at a young age and traveled thousands of miles across the motherland. It was not uncommon to travel abroad.
When Cheng Xiang was a child, around 10 years old, he went to Singapore with the school's summer camp. Carrying a small bag and pulling a suitcase, he followed the teacher and a dozen children on the plane.
At that time, the other children’s parents were giving them endless instructions, but my mother just said: “Listen to the teacher” and left without looking back.
My mother is strict, but very open-minded in this regard. She has taken her to many places since she was a child, including climbing Mount Tai, climbing the Great Wall, surfing in Sanya, fighting the cold in the Northeast, and riding horses outside the Great Wall. Throughout her childhood holidays, she felt like she was always on the road.
Of course, every time you visit a city, there is one place you must visit, which is the famous local university.
Qingbei University, Wuhan University, Zhejiang University, Xiamen University, National Defense University, Harbin Institute of Technology.
Everywhere I go, my mother will take the trouble to say: "Look, this is the university, study hard, and one day you will become a member here."
My mother knew the history of each university so well that it made Cheng Xiang’s ears hurt.
Finally, I was admitted to the school that my mother wanted, but I chose a major that my mother was dissatisfied with. This was a small way to regain my rebelliousness.
Looking back now, the experience of traveling when I was a child, apart from developing my courageous and independent character, the biggest benefit is writing essays, especially travel notes, which are effortless, eloquent and full of thoughts, and even appeared in the school newspaper.
So when Zhou Tianlei said he would take the children out with him, she readily agreed.
In the next few days, Zhou Tianlei was busy with work in the factory, and Zhou Tianxing was busy preparing for the exam. The principal also hired a senior mathematics teacher from the city to specifically guide him.
As a student in a township primary school, Zhou Tianxing participated in a junior high school mathematics competition, won an award, and entered the finals, which attracted much attention.
Now that he has to represent the city and participate in the finals with other players, his identity is more embarrassing. After all, he is only a sixth-grade elementary school student. Strictly speaking, he does not comply with the regulations.
But Zhou Tianxing's performance made the city's teachers reluctant to give up, and finally decided to let students from the city's No. 1 middle school participate in the competition.
Of course, in this way, the results will belong to No. 1 Middle School.
After Zhou Tianxing found out, he was very resistant. He was grateful for the principal's help and care for him, and felt that doing so was a betrayal of the principal.
After the principal found out, he personally went to his home to do Zhou Tianxing's ideological work.
He said: "I just asked you to give it a try. I didn't expect you to be so ambitious. No matter which school you take the exam under, you are my student. This is a fact that no one can change. Speaking of it in the future, it's stinky." Boy, you are my pride, understand? Don’t get into trouble and waste such a great opportunity, you are letting me down."
When the principal left, he repeatedly told Cheng Xiang to do a good job in Zhou Tianxing's ideological work.
Later, Zhou Tianlei had a good talk with Zhou Tianxing, and Zhou Tianxing relented and agreed to participate in the finals according to the city's plan.
Cheng Xiang asked curiously: "What did you tell him?"
Zhou Tianlei smiled and said: "I told him that there is finally smoke coming out of the ancestral grave. If you put it out with a basin of water, I will give you a good beating."
Cheng Xiang pursed his lips and said coquettishly, "Don't tell me I did it."
Zhou Tianlei gently pinched her angry face and left without saying anything.
Zhou Yang came over and said, "Mom, I know what dad said to my uncle?"
Cheng thought: "What did you say?"
Zhou Yang: "My father told my uncle that if he goes to take the exam obediently, he will give the school two table tennis tables and give the principal half a slice of pork."
Cheng thought: "...Huh? A deal?"
Zhou Yang nodded seriously.
Cheng thought: "Is the old man's method so simple and crude?"
Although she expressed doubts, she had no choice but to believe it when she later heard that Zhou He and others had sent two table tennis tables to the school and carried half a fan of pork to the principal.
In the next few days, Zhou Tianxing prepared for the exam with a tutor from the city, while Zhou Tianlei was busy working.
Cheng Xiang started to pack some things to take to the provincial capital.
A few days later, Cheng Xiang suddenly received a call from Cheng Wanshan, asking her to go home, but his tone was not very good.
Cheng Xiang, who was a little suspicious, made arrangements at home and drove into the city.
Walking to the door, opening the door and entering the house, he found that Cheng Ningning and Gu Minglang were also there.
The atmosphere in the room was solemn. When Cheng Wanshan saw Cheng Xiang, he snorted: "Are you here?"
Cheng Ningning and Su Qing looked at her with a bit of contempt.
Gu Minglang stood up and greeted Cheng Xiang: "Think about it, are you back?"
Cheng Xiang ignored him and looked at Cheng Wanshan: "What's wrong with calling me back?"
Cheng Wanshan had an impatient look on his face and asked with a frown: "I won't talk in circles with you. I heard that Zhou Tianlei's pig farm also participated in the bidding for the army procurement?"
Cheng Xiang nodded: "Yes, what's the problem?"
Cheng Wanshan asked: "Why didn't you tell me?"
Cheng thought: "Why should I tell you?"
"You, I told you before that this is not child's play. I told Zhou Tianlei not to get involved. Why don't you listen? You still do some tricks behind my back. It's just nonsense." Cheng Wanshan slapped the armrest of the seat angrily. superior.
