After returning home, Wang Sibing put little Dudu in the cradle and went to cook dinner with Qiao Li.
Wang Zhaozhao took out the Water Margin that he had borrowed yesterday, sat beside the cradle, and read while watching his little cousin.
I made extra dinner on purpose, not waiting for Xie Ailian and the others, but just left the food and kept it warm on the coal stove.
When he still hadn't returned by eight o'clock, Wang Zhaozhao went to bed.
When she got up at ten o'clock to go to the bathroom, she found Xie Ailian and the others were in the dining room.
Judging from the leftovers on the table, he must have just returned and finished his meal.
"Zhao girl, what are you looking at outside? Go to sleep, or you'll be unable to get up tomorrow morning." Before Wang Zhaozhao went in, Xie Ailian saw her.
The next day, after breakfast, Wang Zhaozhao and Qiao Li were about to go to school when Wang Erbing arrived.
Listening to him talking to Xie Ailian, Wang Zhaozhao had a rough guess.
Zhang Xiu'e had the surgery yesterday. She stayed in the hospital for one night and was discharged this morning.
Wang Erbing meant that they should go to the bus station and take a bus directly back to the village instead of coming here.
Considering what happened yesterday afternoon, Wang Erbing didn't want to bring Zhang Xiu'e here, for fear that she would try to stay and cause trouble, embarrassing Wang Sibing in front of his neighbors.
…
The city-level competition of the 'Harvest Cup' mathematics competition is scheduled for December 28th.
Wang Zhaozhao and his classmates have entered a new round of math tutoring, which lasts for one hour every afternoon, including Saturdays.
The teacher isn't from their school, he was hired from outside, uh...
It’s Principal Liu.
Moreover, regardless of whether they are in the first or second year of junior high school, all those who will participate in the competition will be led by Principal Liu.
A huge question mark appeared on Wang Zhaozhao's forehead at that time.
Isn't Principal Liu the Chinese teacher? He's her fifth-grade homeroom teacher.
Of course, this was just a moment of confusion when they met on the first day of junior high school. Wang Zhaozhao naturally knew that the school had invited Principal Liu, and he must be very good at mathematics.
Speaking of which, she was even happier when it came to Principal Liu.
However, Principal Liu was completely different from when he was in the commune primary school. He held a big teacup in his arms all day long. After giving everyone questions, he would sit at the door of the classroom with a teacup and drink tea leisurely.
After they finished, he did not mark the papers, but called their names and asked them to go up and do the designated questions, and then analyzed and explained them.
It was another Saturday, and because it had been raining for several days, Wang Zhaozhao and his friends did not return to Hebian Village.
Xiaodudu is still young, it’s not good for him to catch a cold.
We agreed a few days ago to invite Principal Liu to our house for dinner today.
In the afternoon, Wang Sibing suddenly came back early, bringing back a leg of mutton and a copper pot, saying it was for hot pot.
After listening to his introduction, Wang Zhaozhao's eyes lit up. Isn't what they are eating tonight mutton hotpot?
Ah, this is the first time in my life that I have eaten hotpot properly.
She immediately and diligently helped run errands and wash vegetables.
As it was getting dark, Principal Liu arrived with a bunch of things. The two sides exchanged some pleasantries before sitting down to eat.
Wang Sibing and Principal Liu naturally had to drink some wine, and Wang Zhaozhao made a dish of sauce for himself, which was strong in flavor and made him sweat profusely.
"Principal Liu, why did we invite you here to give extra lessons? What about the commune primary school?" When Wang Sibing was drunk, he asked what Wang Zhaozhao had always been curious about.
Although I can go back and forth every day without complaint, it would be too tiring and exhausting to take care of both sides, right?
"Actually, I was going to leave a long time ago, but... I delayed it until now. This is a good opportunity for me to hand over the commune primary school. Once this matter is over, I will leave."
"Is Principal Liu going home?" Wang Zhaozhao asked.
"Yeah, it's time to go back."
Principal Liu took a sip of wine and smiled at everyone.
Going home was a good thing, so no one asked any more questions.
Wang Sibing is a very talkative person, and he is also very familiar with Principal Liu, so both the host and the guests enjoyed the meal very much.
Before leaving, Principal Liu took out an oil-paper bag from among the things he brought. "This is for you. It's divided into two parts. You should finish the first part before the competition, and do the rest in the next stage."
"Thank you, Principal Liu." Wang Zhaozhao took the heavy paper bag.
Principal Liu nodded and said, "If you have any questions, you can ask me in class. You can also analyze and discuss with other students."
"OK."
…
Time flies, and the day of the competition is approaching.
Although the county town is not far from the city, Principal Chen decided that everyone should go there a day in advance so that they would have more time and it would be safer.
Last time I went to the No. 1 Primary School of the city, and this time I went to the No. 1 Middle School of the city.
The guesthouse we stayed in was the same steel plant guesthouse as last time, which was the designated guesthouse for this competition.
The biggest difference is that Wang Zhaozhao no longer needs an adult to accompany him when he goes out to participate in the competition.
It’s not that Wang Sibing is unwilling, it’s Wang Zhaozhao who is unwilling. Well, the school doesn’t support it either.
They are not primary school students anymore. It is unreasonable for them to have their parents accompany them when they go to participate in a competition even though the school has arranged teachers to take them.
The food in the canteen of the steel plant guesthouse is better than the last time I came, mainly because there are more meat dishes.
There is a dish of steamed pork with rice flour that Wang Zhaozhao particularly likes. If she wasn't worried that she would eat too much and get diarrhea due to the oily food, she would definitely order another serving.
"If I didn't know that the food in your place is not bad and that the food in our school is not bad either, I would have suspected that you were often hungry." Xu Yanni complained to Wang Zhaozhao.
The main reason was that Wang Zhaozhao ate so deliciously that she finished the whole portion.
Although her appetite had obviously increased compared to before since she had lunch with Wang Zhaozhao at the beginning of this semester, it was the first time she realized that she could eat so much meat.
"Because this dish is new, it smells so good when I eat it for the first time." Wang Zhaozhao was very satisfied with the meal and was not embarrassed at all.
She just ate a lot, but she didn't eat too fast.
Hearing this, Xu Yanni nodded, "It is indeed delicious. Let's get some to take home tomorrow."
Huh?
Wang Zhaozhao's eyes lit up and he gave Xu Yanni a thumbs up, "That's great."
The students next to them were speechless. You are no exception. You come to the competition, but before the game even starts, you think of bringing some meat dishes back.
Feeling their gazes, Wang Zhaozhao turned and smiled at them, "Didn't you guys just hit that steamed pork with rice flour? I strongly suggest you try it tomorrow."
Everyone looked at each other, and finally Song Jiangli said, "I just don't know if this dish will still be available for lunch tomorrow."
Song Jiangli really wanted to try it. He had secretly swallowed his saliva when he saw Wang Zhaozhao and Xu Yanni eating it just now. But they were not that familiar with each other, so he was embarrassed to ask them to give him a piece to try.
Wang Zhaozhao and Xu Yanni were stunned. Ah, this?
