During the winter vacation, Xiang Nan was not idle.
A small class was opened at Jiang Tianhao's home to provide tutoring to Lin Miaomiao, Deng Xiaoqi, and Jiang Tianhao in order to consolidate their foundation and enable them to obtain better results in the future.
In the new year, Deng Xiaoqi began to take art exams.
Xiang Nan's postgraduate entrance examination results have also come out, and they are very good, with almost full marks in several subjects.
In April, Deng Xiaoqi's art exam results were released, ranking twelfth in the Chinese Opera Professional Course, ranking very high.
Xiang Nan also took the Tsinghua University postgraduate re-examination in April and successfully passed the assessment of the astrophysics professional tutor. In September, you can officially enroll in school.
When the news spread back to Jiangzhou, everyone in the Qian family was very encouraged.
"Yiyi, well done! An 18-year-old master's student is amazing!" Qian Shouzhong said with great satisfaction.
My eldest grandson is really amazing. He got nearly perfect score in the first examination for master's degree. I also did very well in the re-examination, ranking first in the written examination, and the instructor was even more satisfied with the interview.
How could such a top student not be loved?
In comparison, Qian Yukun and An Lili's second child is one year old now, but he can't speak yet. Obviously, his talent is far inferior to Xiang Nan's.
"Thank you, grandpa. This is inseparable from the teachings you gave me since childhood." Xiang Nan smiled modestly.
"Good grandson, grandpa gives you a few gifts, just think of them as congratulatory gifts for you to be admitted to graduate school." Qian Shouzhong smiled again.
"No need, grandpa, you've given me enough." Xiang Nan waved his hand, "Besides, I'm not the only grandson you have now."
"The Linze kid's talent is not as good as yours, and his future achievements will probably not be as good as yours. I gave him my things, and I'm afraid he will lose me sooner or later. I'd better give them to you. Only you can keep my grandfather's hard work." Qian Shou. Zhongquedao.
"Okay, grandpa, I will help you keep it. In the future, I will pass it on to my children and grandchildren, so that they can all appreciate the heritage of the Qian family for thousands of years." Xiang Nan nodded.
"Yes, that's what I want." Qian Shouzhong smiled, and then handed more than ten antique calligraphy and paintings to Xiang Nan.
Among them are the Ge Kiln of the Southern Song Dynasty, the blue and white paintings of the Yuan Dynasty, the bamboo paintings of Xu Wei of the Ming Dynasty, the fish eagle paintings of Bada Shanren in the Qing Dynasty, the paintings of Wu Changshuo, Ren Bonian, and Pan Tianshou of the Republic of China...
Although I dare not say that it is priceless, each piece is considered rare and the value is still high. According to Xiang Nan's rough estimate, it is really not a problem to sell these ten treasures for one to two hundred million. The Yuan Dynasty blue and white jar alone is worth 70 to 80 million.
…
And at the end of May, the college entrance examination is finally approaching.
The learning atmosphere in the school has reached its peak. In the corridors, on the playground, by the cafeteria... you can see students reading fiercely with books in hand everywhere.
Everyone wants to sharpen their guns before the battle, and it will be unhappy if they are unhappy.
Xiang Nan is also making the final sprint, handing over the 2017 college entrance examination questions to Lin Miaomiao, Deng Xiaoqi and Jiang Tianhao many times in the paper, so that they can get better scores.
"Don't make any mistakes in these sample questions. If you really don't understand, just memorize them by rote and remember them." Xiang Nan emphasized, "You have a high chance of passing these types of questions."
He was giving a lecture to Lin Miaomiao and Deng Xiaoqi. At this moment, the head teacher Tang Yuanming invited him to the principal's office.
"Student Sanyi, you should also take the college entrance examination this time." The principal said to Xiang Nan with a smile.
"The principal wants me to help you earn the top spot in the college entrance examination?" Xiang Nan was stunned and quickly understood what he was thinking.
"Student Sanyi, you are smart." The principal nodded.
Xiang Nan participated in the Mathematical Olympiad competition in his freshman year of high school and won the championship, which really made the elite middle school shine. However, that was already two years ago, and the timeliness has faded.
Although Xiang Nan later graduated from Tsinghua University, this achievement was even more remarkable. But it doesn't have much to do with elite middle schools, which only shows that they have strong self-learning ability. Therefore, the popularity of elite high schools has declined slightly in the past year.
But if Xiang Nan can take the college entrance examination and get the top spot in the provincial college entrance examination, then the elite high school will be the leader. The gold content of a top scorer in the college entrance examination is so great that it is enough to ensure that the reputation of an elite high school will not decline in the next three years.
"This..." Xiang Nan hesitated, "Principal, I have already graduated from college. If you ask me to take the college entrance examination and compete with others for the top spot, it seems a bit bullying."
"As long as you get the top score in the college entrance examination, I will reward you one million yuan." The principal said firmly.
"OK, who told me to be a member of the elite middle school? That's it." Xiang Nan nodded and immediately signed an agreement with the principal.
…
As the college entrance examination approaches, parents are getting busy.
"Listen, what parents have said is that when it comes to the college entrance examination, mom should wear a cheongsam, which means success; dad should wear a mandarin jacket, which means success is imminent." Wang Shengnan said, reading the suggestions in the parent group.
"I don't have a mandarin jacket." Lin Dawei said quickly after hearing this.
"Buy it." Wang Shengnan said immediately.
"Buying a mandarin just to wear it for one day?!" Lin Dawei frowned.
"Oh, you are reluctant to part with such a small amount of money for your child's life-long event." Wang Shengnan glared at him and said, "Listen to me and continue. The child will wear red on the first day, which means a good start; and wear green on the second day, which means a good start. Green light; wearing gray and yellow on the third day means heading towards glory..."
"Oh, Mom, get rid of this group of people. What a mess. The Jiangzhou College Entrance Examination has always only been held for two days. How can there be a third day?" Lin Miaomiao said speechlessly.
"What do you know? This is called asking for praise~" Wang Shengnan said with a smile, "We will dress like that that day. By the way, when you get the paper, remember to kiss it first. This is called a sure win."
"Dad, my mother has gone crazy." Lin Miaomiao couldn't help but laugh.
In addition to the Lin family's excitement in preparation for the college entrance examination, Jiang Tianhao's family is also busy booking a hotel for their son so that he can rest nearby after the exam.
Deng Xiaoqi's mother was busy making porridge for her daughter and helping her to take care of her body so that she would be well fed and strive to get good grades in the exam.
In comparison, the Qian family faced the college entrance examination much more calmly.
Although Xiang Nan also took the college entrance examination, he only regarded it as a game. It doesn't matter whether you do well or not. Anyway, he had already graduated from Tsinghua University and was admitted to graduate school.
"Yiyi, don't be nervous, just play freely." Pei Yin ordered with a smile.
"Don't worry, Mom, I'm not nervous to begin with." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled.
For a genius like him, the college entrance examination is nothing but a trivial matter, and he is not worried about his grades at all.
"Yeah." Pei Yin nodded.
…
As the college entrance examination approaches, teachers have become extra tolerant.
Even in the cafeteria, when men and women sit together to eat, the teachers no longer care.
"You are the best class of students I have ever taught. I will never forget the long queue of memorizing books in the corridor in the early morning, nor will I forget that everyone stood in the last row of the classroom for fear of dozing off.
Teacher knows that you have tried your best in these last days. Just do your best! The future is left to luck! Everyone smile, as long as you smile, luck will definitely come!
Come on, classmates! "
