"You are not allowed to play at school. If you dare to tear up the corners of your homework or books, I will beat you so hard that Auntie San won't recognize you."
Wang Zhaozhao raised his fist and shook it at Wang Baojia.
Wang Xingwu, who was in the same class as Wang Baojia, immediately said, "I'll keep an eye on you."
Wang Baojia: “……!”
"No, no, I'm a good student."
Besides talking, dozing off, and playing marbles in class...
Well! In short, I promise not to tear up my homework books or fold the corners of books, and I will not play shuttlecock with others with books anymore.
Hmm...could he suggest playing shuttlecock?
He raised his hand weakly, "Sister Zhao, we can also play shuttlecock..."
When Wang Zhaozhao heard this, he thought it was a good idea, at least it wouldn’t waste so much paper.
Playing shuttlecock is actually like playing badminton, except that other things are used instead.
In the countryside, the conditions are difficult and most people don’t have extra money to buy toys, so many things are homemade.
Just like a table tennis paddle, you can just split the wood and saw one.
As for the rural version of badminton, playing shuttlecock is done by folding a piece of paper several times, leaving a circle in the middle, tearing the edges into strips, then picking up a small stone, putting it in the middle, wrapping it up and tying it up, and this is the "badminton".
Two people play against each other, each holding a book, and they hit the shuttlecock back and forth. Whoever fails to catch it loses.
However, since we have already agreed to play four corners, let’s play four corners first and then see if we can play shuttlecock later.
Xu Yanni had never played these two games before. Once she started, she was so excited that the laughter in the yard spread throughout the village.
Later, children from the neighbors came to join in the fun. Xie Ailian looked happy and took out a bag of paper-wrapped candies and asked Wang Xingwen to share them with everyone.
Although I didn’t get to go to Chengshan Mountain to play, I still had a super happy day.
On the third day, Wang Sibing, who had gone home after a day's work, deliberately did not ride a bicycle when he came back so that he could take the bus with them.
In the middle of the morning, Qiao Qingsong arrived, carrying a salted pork leg.
Wang Dahai chopped the cabbage with an axe, and Xie Ailian took a large iron pot, put some dried cabbage that had been dried last winter, and stewed it in a pot.
It is no exaggeration to say that the salty and fragrant aroma can be smelled from two or three miles away.
"This Wang Dahai family really... eats good food every day." So infuriating!
Many families in the village are not jealous, but they are extremely angry.
As for the angry one, Zhou Xiaoqin was the most angry.
She originally had her sights set on Wang Sibing, but ended up becoming the wife of Wang Erlaizi without knowing it.
He knew that it was Wang Sibing who caused the accident, but she did not hate Wang Sibing. Instead, she hated Zhang Xiu'e the most.
"If we talk about who's more powerful, it's still that old man Wang Dahai." In the past year or two, Zhang Xiu'e has aged visibly. She watched with cold eyes, feeling relieved.
She herself fell into the quagmire, and she was happy to see Zhang Xiu'e's life getting worse and worse.
In the afternoon, when Wang Zhaozhao and others returned to the city, Xie Ailian specially took a piece of bacon and a few pounds of dried konjac as a return gift to Xu Yanni.
Xu Yanni refused, but Wang Zhaozhao forced it on her, and Wang Sibing rode his bike to take her back.
"Niece, your classmate lives in the county party committee compound, right?" Wang Sibing said to Wang Zhaozhao after returning.
"Yeah?"
“…”
Wang Zhaozhao's reaction was so normal that the spark of gossip in Wang Sibing's heart was immediately extinguished.
The next day, everyone went to work or school, but old comrade Xie Ailian was taking care of her grandson while turning the soil and planting vegetables in the yard.
The day was ordinary but not unusual, because on Wednesday, the head teachers of the nine junior high school classes announced a big event in their classes.
"Students, congratulations! We are about to welcome you to the first Harvest Cup Mathematics Competition. Students from all sixteen middle schools in the county are welcome to register. Next Wednesday, the school will hold an internal exam. The top ten students will represent their school in this competition."
"System Task: Participate in the Harvest Cup Mathematics Competition. First place will receive one intelligence point. Top three will receive 100 gold coins. Fifth place will receive a one-gold consolation prize."
Almost at the moment when Fan Ye finished speaking, the system's voice rang in Wang Zhaozhao's mind.
"Wow, system, your upgrade is great. The rewards have also been upgraded." Wang Zhaozhao was quite surprised that the system actually had reward grading and no longer blindly required first place.
"Host, I thought you would be angry."
"This is a good thing. Why should I be angry? We can't blindly pursue first place..."
"Host, listen to me. The system's mission is to participate in the Harvest Cup Mathematics Competition and win first place. It doesn't mean to win first place in Tsukuyama County."
"...You mean, after this competition is over in our county, it will be upgraded to a higher level?"
"Yes! This is organized by the Provincial Education Bureau. After the competition, we will go to the city and then to the provincial level."
The system said bluntly, "Host, don't judge this competition by the same standards as the last recitation competition. They're completely different."
Hearing this, Wang Zhaozhao raised her eyebrows. She was not so naive.
The system then said, "This system has detected that your chances of getting first place are too small, so we have specially upgraded the reward system."
"watt?"
Wang Zhaozhao almost couldn't help but pick at his ears with his fingers, "System, I'll give you a chance to repeat yourself."
The system said very simply, "No need."
Wang Zhaozhao: “……!”
ha!
She laughed out of anger.
It's not that she is conceited and can't accept not being able to beat others in the exam, it's just that the system's words are too hurtful.
"Host, this system has detected that among those who will take this exam, there are seven who are on par with you."
"So I might not even get a consolation prize?"
"It's not impossible. I can spend one gold coin to see the information about those seven people..."
"No, thank you."
Wang Zhaozhao refused cleanly and neatly.
system:"……!"
Host, are you also known as a stingy person? Why are you so stingy?
Wang Zhaozhao didn't care. She only had three gold coins in her system wallet. Was she a poor bastard? Why spend a gold coin to see that? She might as well find a way to improve her own strength!
A blacksmith must be strong himself.
"Let's put that aside for now. I have a question. The system tasks are based on the final results of the competition, right? What about the in-between results? Those within the school don't count, but then do the results of participating in the county and city-level Harvest Cup competitions on behalf of the school not count as rewards?"
Isn't this unreasonable?!
Well……
The system was stumped.
At this moment, Wang Zhaozhao felt a pain in her arm, forcing her to leave the system.
"Finally, it's finally starting." Her deskmate, Xu Yanni, had eyes that were frighteningly bright.
Wang Zhaozhao tried to pry her hands away, "Classmate, please let go."
I understand that you are excited, but please don't pinch me.
