Chapter 40 Continuous Fermentation
Because of this small incident, Xia Yutong finally escaped from the clutches of her classmates.
In the afternoon, the school hung up two large banners very efficiently. The upper one said "Warm congratulations to Xia Yutong, our school student, for winning the special prize in the National Mathematical Olympiad Municipal Competition for Primary School Students!", and the lower one said "Warm congratulations to me. Wu Qize, a student from our school, won the first prize in the municipal competition of the National Mathematical Olympiad Competition for Primary School Students!”
Then, the school leaders ceremonially bought two long strings of firecrackers and hung them on thick bamboo poles outside the school gate. After they were lit, the crackling sound attracted a group of passers-by. The loudspeaker at the door played the principal’s noon broadcast. The good news was broadcast at that time, and the publicity effect can be said to be overwhelming.
Of course, the vice principal and others at the scene were also very busy, holding their cameras high to record the scene and prepare it as important material for news reports.
After returning home from school that day, Xia Yutong told Father Xia and Mother Xia the good news, making them happy together.
When Dad Xia heard it at first, he thought he heard it wrong. His voice was several decibels louder, and he confirmed again: "Did you really win the special prize? The special prize that requires full marks?"
"Yeah!" Xia Yutong nodded happily. Sure enough, the news was quite impactful, and his father couldn't believe it!
Xia's mother didn't quite understand what she heard. She knew that the special prize was very powerful, and it must be something like the first place. But Xia's father's expression was really exaggerated, and his voice was a little split, which made Mother Xia feel... More powerful than the first place, she thought, so she asked.
"No! This Mathematical Olympiad has been held for several years, and there has never been a special prize in Linshi. But now our daughter has won it, don't you think it's awesome?!" Dad Xia's voice was shaking with excitement.
When Xia's mother heard this, she was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth. She had to sigh again: What kind of fairy girl did she give birth to? !
Even the little Xia Yuhang kid was joining in the fun. Even though he didn’t understand what he was hearing, he even pretended to be his sister and boasted, “Sister is so awesome!”
Xia Yutong was not the only one to report the big news after returning home from school. Almost all the students from Chun County Primary School shared it with their parents after returning home.
As you can imagine, there are more parents from all walks of life who lament the evildoers.
Some parents even think, why is this not their child? !
Xia's father and Xia's mother were destined to sneeze all night long, because too many parents were envious of their good fortunes, and Xiao was thinking about their precious daughter.
The next day, things continued to ferment.
The banners and firecrackers at the entrance of the county primary school had a surprisingly good publicity effect. Many passers-by who were watching the excitement vividly told others about the Mathematical Olympiad competition. Their voices were so excited that it was as if the winner was their own child.
Coupled with the publicity from children and parents of primary schools in the county, this incident has almost become a well-known event in the county.
To use a later saying on the Internet, that is: Xia Yutong is really popular!
Of course, classmate Wu Qize was also angry with him, but he could only place himself behind Xia Yutong every time. Fortunately, he was a "study idiot" who only focused on mathematics. Otherwise, someone with a slightly impure mind would probably have to do it. I have a grudge against Xia Yutong. After all, no one likes to be ranked behind someone every time they are mentioned after they have achieved results.
While everyone is still talking about this, our two little protagonists have already devoted themselves to studying for the competition. After all, the new round of rematch will start in less than a month, and the time is very short. I'm nervous.
Xia Yutong, who was devoting himself to studying at this time, did not know that his grandfather had done something big.
Dad Xia was so excited yesterday that he couldn't help but spread the great news among his relatives and friends. Among them, Grandpa Xia was the most agreeable.
Grandpa Xia has really become a fan of his granddaughter since he followed his granddaughter's suggestion and changed the small restaurant. The person who held the most important position in his heart was naturally Xia Cheng, a cultural person of the old Xia family. That was his Proud, but now this son has to step aside, no one is as fragrant as a granddaughter!
My granddaughter has an idea every time she thinks about it. She is smart enough not to do anything she doesn’t want. She is also very good at studying. Is there anyone who can get perfect scores in every subject? Just his granddaughter!
This time it’s even more amazing. I participated in a math competition and got first place in the city.
That was the first place in the city. It was much better than the technical secondary school her father took when he was young. It really made the old Xia family look great!
So, Grandpa Xia, who became more and more excited as he chatted with Dad Xia, made a major decision. He wanted to learn from the County Primary School and hang up a banner with his granddaughter’s results. Moreover, he wanted to be more ambitious than the County Primary School. To celebrate, he planned to give a 12% discount to all guests who ate at their restaurant for three consecutive days! The publicity effect is definitely no worse than that of the county primary school!
When Dad Xia heard this, he thought it was great. In the future, more people would know that there was a child prodigy in his family.
So the two hit it off, one made the banner, and the other wrote the good news for the store entrance, and they got it done the next morning.
A long banner was hung above the hotel's plaque, which read something similar to that of the county primary school, "Warm congratulations to child Xia Yutong for winning the special prize in the National Primary School Mathematical Olympiad municipal competition." A good news in large letters was also placed at the door, which read "We are happy for the owner! To congratulate little Xia Yutong on winning the special prize in the National Mathematical Olympiad Municipal Competition, for three consecutive days, we are offering a 120% discount on all dishes in our store!"
It was very lively now. There were many regular customers in the store, so people who knew me started asking: "Boss Xia, who is this Xia Yutong in your family? Why is there such a big battle?!"
Grandpa Xia smiled cheerfully: "My granddaughter! This child is eager to learn, and even if she doesn't get some grades, we just want to encourage her. Everyone is here these days to have fun together."
People who knew about this retorted: "The boss doesn't like being so humble. This is no small achievement. Your family is really lucky. You have raised a little genius!"
"Well done! Well done! There is no such thing as a little genius, it's just that the child is more diligent and studious." A common problem among Chinese parents is that they are very proud of themselves, but they still have to be humble. Grandpa Xia is one of them.
"Aren't you a little genius?! We have had this Mathematical Olympiad special prize in Linshi in the past few years, and the entire Linshi primary school has become a sensation. If it were my family, I would be so happy that I can't wait to win it. The loudspeaker shouted and the whole world knew about it!" said an insider.
This get out of class made many guests curious, so they all started asking questions.
People familiar with the matter became excited and vividly recounted yesterday's battle at the county's primary school gate.
Grandpa Xia was listening happily. Hearing about his granddaughter's great achievements from other people's mouths was really pleasing to his ears. His decision was indeed wise!
