Chapter 14 Primary School Mathematical Olympiad Competition
After school, Xia Yutong did not go home directly as usual, but went to the math teacher's office.
The math teacher’s surname is Jiang. He is a skinny old man who is already bald. He is less than 1.7 meters tall and slightly stooped. He looks like an ordinary grandpa next door, but you will know when you look into his eyes. , what is the window of wisdom, because those eyes are full of open-mindedness and wisdom accumulated over the years.
Xia Yutong did not understand these things before, but felt that there was something different about Teacher Jiang that was different from his appearance. Now Xia Yutong calls it the charm of personality and wisdom.
Arriving at the door of the mathematics team's office, Xia Yutong knocked on the open door.
As soon as Teacher Jiang saw her, he quickly called her in.
The teachers haven't all gotten off work yet. They are sitting at their desks in twos and threes, sorting out lesson plans, or chatting with each other about daily routines.
Xia Yutong walked to Teacher Jiang's desk and saw that someone had already arrived first.
It was him, Wu Qize, who was in Class 8 of 6th grade.
Teacher Jiang pulled up a chair for Xia Yutong to sit down, and then got into today's topic: "The teacher is here to discuss something with you. Have you heard of the National Primary School Mathematical Olympiad Competition?"
Xia Yutong was stunned when he heard this. No wonder the mathematics paper in the mid-term exam was so difficult. The additional questions at the end were probably as difficult as the Mathematical Olympiad competition. It felt like the teacher was selecting candidates for the competition.
Teacher Jiang saw that the two people didn't answer, so he didn't mind and continued: "This time the math paper is a bit difficult. The difficulty of the last question is already close to the big questions at the beginning of the competition. I even set the additional questions according to the difficulty standard of the competition." These two big questions have a total of 36 points. Only you two got more than 31 points, Wu Qize got 36 points, and Xia Yutong got a full score of points. The teacher is very pleased."
Teacher Jiang picked up the tea cup in front of him and took a sip, and continued: "Originally, the teacher's original idea was to find a seedling to cultivate, and then come back with an award in the city's preliminary competition, but the two of you gave the teacher a big surprise. Yeah, you can actually get such high scores without special training for the Mathematical Olympiad. It shows how talented you are. Such talents can’t be wasted! The teacher’s idea now is to find a few sets of questions first and then try them. I’ll get a feel for your level, and then I’ll make up for your weak items. Of course, your strengths can still be improved, and you might be able to win the first prize in the city and enter the semi-finals in the provincial capital!”
Xia Yutong looked at Teacher Jiang, then turned to look at Wu Qize. She personally had no objection. It would be a good idea to try to make up for the competition in her previous life, but she didn't know what the classmate Wu next to her thought.
Xia Yutong felt that she should express her personal wishes first, so she said, "Teacher, I have no objection. Everything will be subject to the teacher's arrangements."
Upon hearing Xia Yutong's reply, Teacher Jiang burst into laughter and then turned to look at Wu Qize who was standing aside.
"Okay!" Wu Qize nodded.
Xia Yutong heard the first words Wu Qize spoke since entering this office, which were only two simple words, and thought that he was indeed as taciturn as the rumors.
Wu Qize and Xia Yutong had actually heard of his name in their previous life. The reason was very simple. They were the only two who were transferred from Chun County Primary School to the City's No. 1 Middle School when they were entering junior high school. However, he was doing better than her at that time. much better.
She was also transferred from the county primary school to the city's No. 1 middle school. She had experienced a lot of difficulties at the time, but Wu Qize was different from her. Because he was strong in mathematics, he was regarded as a key candidate by the teacher from the beginning, and later he won the national championship. The competition awards have become the school's treasure.
I just heard that this dear friend cherishes his words like gold and is not easy to get along with.
But Xia Yutong is not afraid. He ignores her, so she won't bother him. She just studies with the teacher and doesn't interfere with each other.
Teacher Jiang then explained some things to the two of them and asked them to go back.
Not far from Teacher Jiang's office, Wu Qize spoke: "How did you learn?"
Xia Yutong subconsciously turned to look at him and asked uncertainly, "Are you talking to me?"
Wu Qize frowned, is this really someone who got 120 in math? Why doesn't she look very smart? There's no one else here. If she doesn't talk to her, who should she talk to? !
Xia Yutong understood his expression and was speechless. It turned out that he was such a taciturn person. He didn't speak a word, but his inner drama was so rich. In an instant, he felt that his aloof image collapsed. He turned out to be a sultry person!
Xia Yutong rolled his eyes and said, "You came up with a few words without beginning or end. I didn't know you were talking to me! First of all, let me introduce myself. My name is Xia Yutong. What do you want to say to me next time?" Please say hello to me first, otherwise I will think you are talking to yourself like you just did, do you understand?"
Wu Qize's brows furrowed even more tightly. Instead of getting an answer to his question, he was even scolded. Girls are indeed troublesome creatures.
Xia Yutong miraculously understood it again. She immediately didn't want to pay attention to the sand pig in front of her. She had no obligation to answer all questions, so Xia Yutong turned around and left.
Wu Qize, who was left behind, was confused: What happened? Why did you turn around and leave angrily without saying a word?
