The elementary school was about to start, and it was time for Su Qingyun to start school as well. At the beginning of the new semester, she was called to the office by Teacher Qin, along with Ji Yue.
The two of them looked at Teacher Qin with doubtful eyes. Teacher Qin said with a smile: "That's it. A document was sent down from above, saying that an innovation and invention competition will be held among middle school students across the country, aiming to develop everyone's logical thinking ability and improve their ability." Anyone with practical skills can participate as long as they are willing. Our school said that we will send two students to participate. After much thought, only you two are the most suitable."
"Su Qingyun, you have made a harvester by yourself before. I am not worried about your hands-on ability. Ji Yue has solid knowledge in all aspects. The teacher believes that the two of you will be able to make something that will impress everyone. For Winning honor for our school is also bringing honor to yourselves.”
"We attach great importance to this competition. We will first hold a preliminary round in our province, select five contestants, and then send them to the capital to participate in the finals to determine the first, second, and third prizes nationwide. It is said that the first prize can be worth 5,000 yuan. , we don’t expect you to win the prize, but the teacher believes that you can at least enter the finals.”
Teacher Qin finished speaking with encouragement. There were only six places for the first, second and third prizes in the country. They really did not expect these two children to win the awards. After all, it was a nationwide selection, but Su Qingyun It shouldn't be a big problem with Ji Yue's ability to reach the finals.
She had a very good idea when discussing it with the principal. As long as the two of them could advance to the finals, their school would once again become famous throughout the province.
Innovation and invention competition? Su Qingyun and Ji Yue looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.
Su Qingyun thought for a while and asked: "Teacher, does this competition have a specified scope? For example, what kind of innovation is it?"
Teacher Qin recalled the document, "The scope is not specified, but the entry standard is that the thing you invented must not only have a detailed invention plan, complete experimental records, but also a complete physical object in order to be considered a complete entry. work."
"Of course." Su Qingyun nodded clearly. Without a range, there would be too many choices.
Ji Yue thought for a moment and then asked: "Since we are competing on behalf of the school, will our experimental funds including experimental materials also be funded by the school?"
Teacher Qin was stunned when he heard what he said, and then laughed angrily. Is this kid frowning and thinking about money for a long time?
"The school pays for it, don't worry, you won't be asked to pay a penny." Teacher Qin said angrily, "The laboratory on the third floor of the teaching building is also given to you, so you can do whatever you want."
Ji Yue gave a rare smile and said, "Then we can rest assured."
Su Qingyun forced herself to hold back her laughter. She had not considered the cost of the experiment. Indeed, any slightly more complicated research experiment would cost money, and all aspects involved would cost a lot of money. She had to admit that , the question asked by Ji Yue is very critical.
"Okay, let's go down first and think about something." Teacher Qin waved his hand and started to chase people away.
Su Qingyun and Ji Yue returned to the classroom. This class was a self-study class. Everyone was doing homework and reading quietly. The two lowered their voices and started talking quietly.
"Do you have any ideas?" Su Qingyun asked.
"No." Ji Yue shook his head honestly. He was confused when he suddenly knew such a thing.
"Alas." Su Qingyun sighed, "I haven't thought about it either." It's not because she doesn't know what to do, but because there are too many things she wants to do and she doesn't have the conditions to realize them, so she doesn't know what to do.
What they want to do must be something that is relatively easy to implement, cheap and eye-catching. With these additional conditions, there are not many choices left for them, and Su Qingyun has a headache.
"Don't be in a hurry, think about it slowly. Didn't Teacher Qin say that there is still a month until the submission of the work? It's still early." Ji Yue comforted her when he saw her frowning.
"That's right." Su Qingyun thought for a while and it was the same reason. This kind of thing cannot be rushed out.
She buried her head and continued to do the homework that Chu Xianming left for her. After Chu Xianming figured out her approximate level, he was no longer satisfied with just giving her questions. Now he asked Su Qingyun to write a mathematics paper independently. No matter what direction, as long as she can write an article, she will pass.
Su Qingyun has been busy writing the paper these days, and has no time to pay attention to anything else. Now that the competition is coming again, she has to finish writing the paper quickly before thinking about the competition.
Ji Yue looked at her serious look and started to do his own thing.
Su Qingyun went to the recycling station after school. She had not been there since the winter vacation. Calculating carefully, it had been more than a month. Before the winter vacation, because she thought she might not come to town often, she asked Wang Zhihua to I found a few more batches of parts and built a few more bicycles.
Before she even entered the recycling bin, she called out: "Uncle Wang."
"Qingyun is here." Hearing a familiar voice, Wang Zhihua stuck his head out. His voice was a little strange.
Su Qingyun sensed something was wrong and walked in. Wang Zhihua was standing in the back room, opposite a middle-aged man who was looking around the recycling bin.
Wang Zhihua turned around and winked at Su Qingyun, with a slightly unnoticeable nervousness on his face, "The books collected these days are all over there, Qingyun, go and see for yourself."
The middle-aged man looked at Su Qingyun and saw that she was carrying a schoolbag and asked, "Student?"
"Yes, yes." Wang Zhihua responded hurriedly, "She is a student of the town middle school. She loves studying and reading. Don't I often collect some old books here? She likes to come and read them."
"That's it." After hearing this, the middle-aged man had no reaction and continued to look around in the recycling bin with sharp eyes, as if he didn't miss any detail.
Su Qingyun found that Wang Zhihua's breathing was tight, and she frowned secretly. It seemed that this man's identity could make him so nervous.
She thought for a moment that she couldn't talk much now, so she really pretended to be looking for a book and walked to the pile of cardboard, flipping through the books while looking at the man's every move with her peripheral vision.
Suddenly, the man walked towards one of the small warehouses in the recycling station. Wang Zhihua's heart suddenly rose to his throat. They were filled with old parts of the bicycles that he had worked so hard to buy. He must not let him see them. What comes.
The middle-aged man looked at the pile of parts, frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "I see you have all these metal things piled over there. Why are they piled separately?"
"This..." Wang Zhihua's mind started to spin rapidly, "Everything that is taken back from my recycling bin will be sorted later. These parts have not yet been sorted."
"Really?" The middle-aged man looked calmly and pointed at the pile of metal objects. "You have piled up so many things, and these are the only ones left unsorted. Isn't this used to make other things?"
His eyes focused on one of the handlebars. Wang Zhihua complained in his heart. The others were all torn apart and could not be recognized. This handlebar looked so obvious that it was part of the bicycle at first glance.
"Uncle, I actually asked Uncle Wang to keep those things for me." Su Qingyun suddenly spoke.
The man immediately looked at her, "What do you mean? Did you ask him to help you stay?"
Wang Zhihua's face changed drastically as he stood behind the man, and he winked at her crazily to stop her from talking nonsense.
Su Qingyun pretended not to see it, raised a harmless smile to the man and said: "Yes, I am a student of the middle school in the town. There is a national innovation and invention competition for middle school students recently. I am a contestant and need to invent and create something independently. I am with Uncle Wang is familiar with it, so I asked him to help me pay attention to some old parts, so that I can save part of the experimental funds."
Wang Zhihua was even more anxious. What kind of messy competition couldn't be just like the handiwork she said before, right? She didn't know this person's identity, and she couldn't hide it from him if she made it up.
Wang Zhihua became increasingly anxious.
"National Middle School Students Innovation and Invention Competition?" The man repeated the name of the competition, frowned and thought for a moment before asking Su Qingyun, "What's your name?"
"Su Qingyun." Su Qingyun replied with an unchanged smile.
"Su Qingyun?" The man repeated her name again and murmured, "Why does this name sound familiar?"
"Maybe uncle has seen me in the newspaper." Su Qingyun continued.
"newspaper?"
"Yes, I have been in the newspaper before. I am from Luoshui Village. I made a corn harvester for our village before, and the province commended me." Su Qingyun talked about the commendations and honors he had received.
Now was not the time to be low-key, she had to say something with factual basis to support what she just said about participating in the competition.
The man's eyes widened slightly. He remembered that Su Qingyun, the girl who was commended by the province, turned out to be her.
His expression suddenly softened, "So that's it."
Seeing his expression, Wang Zhihua breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't expect that this girl had such a famous name, but the director's attitude changed as soon as he mentioned it.
"Okay, just watch it slowly, work hard in the game, and try to bring glory to our Luoshui County again."
"Xiao Wang, I'm leaving now. I'll come back to check next time." The man finally said.
"Okay, okay, Director Zhang, please go slowly. You are welcome to come back to check the work at any time." Wang Zhihua sent Director Zhang away with a smile on his face.
As soon as the person left, he immediately wiped the sweat from his forehead, panted heavily, and almost collapsed to the ground, "I was scared to death."
"Uncle Wang, are you exaggerating?"
Wang Zhihua turned back and glared at her, "Don't you know who that person was just now?"
"Who is it?" Su Qingyun was really curious.
"Director of the County Industrial and Commercial Bureau."
"Why did the director of the County Industrial and Commercial Bureau come here to inspect?" Su Qingyun was stunned.
"Damn it, it's not because of an idiot!" Wang Zhihua cursed, "There was an idiot who bought a bicycle before. He rode the bicycle to give gifts and was noticed. Although the buyer was not found, the bicycle was found. It is spliced together from old parts, no, we are checking all the recycling depots in the county."
"Director Zhang came to my door just after I received the news. Fortunately, you have just sorted things out. Otherwise, I really don't know how to explain it. Let me ask you, is there indeed such a competition as you mentioned?"
"Yes." Su Qingyun nodded, feeling worried. Since the superiors are investigating, this business must not be done for the time being, otherwise it will be troublesome when the gain outweighs the loss.
