Chapter 11 School Begins
Jin Xin took the test paper Wu Tong handed him in a daze, went to school in a daze, and sat in the classroom in a daze, basically relying on instinct, and the whole person felt as if he was struck by lightning.
"Hi...hihihi..." Zhao Lei waved his hand in front of his deskmate and good friend. Seeing that he still didn't respond, he couldn't help but grin and reached out to grab the Chinese textbook that Jin Xin was holding upside down, "The teacher is here!"
Jin Xin was frightened immediately, and he came to his senses quickly and was about to jump up reflexively. Zhao Lei quickly grabbed him, otherwise almost the whole class would have been alarmed.
"What's wrong? Why are you like this today?" This sudden shock almost sent him away. Zhao Lei asked in a low voice with concern: "What happened at home?"
I haven't heard of it. They live in the same alley. If anything happened to the Jin family, his family would have heard about it. If there was any trouble over there, the old ladies would know better than anyone else.
"Tell me, how does it feel to wake up and suddenly find out that your sister is a super genius?" Jin Xin asked in a trance-like manner.
"Damn... you're going to feel like you're ascending!" What is ascension? It's full of disasters.
If they have a genius sister, then they will be compared to others, hehe... Under the sharp contrast of their grades, the mountain of books and the sea of exercises can overwhelm them and turn them from salted fish into dried salted fish!
"What happened to our sister?"
Zhao Lei knew that there was only one person whom Jin Xin could call his sister, his cousin from his aunt's family, with whom he grew up since childhood and who was now his sister in the same school.
"No, I just found out that my sister is pretty amazing!" He told his childhood friend everything about himself. As for his sister, he would not discuss it in detail for now. Let him take his time. Tongtong really gave him a big shock today!
"Study, study!" Jin Xin turned the Chinese textbook over and began to read it seriously. If he didn't work hard and didn't get good grades, he wouldn't be able to show off his brotherly attitude in front of Tongtong!
Here, Wu Tong considerately gave her brother enough time to react, and did not rush to chase after his brother to tutor him.
She started to practice questions. She mastered the knowledge points, but to pass the exam, she not only needed to have an absolute grasp of the knowledge points, but also to be proficient in them.
Only by practicing more questions, gaining more knowledge, and seeing more question angles can she be fearless of the various difficult questions in the exam.
In the three days before school started, Wu Tong reviewed all the math materials on Jin Xin's bookshelf, as well as the various math comprehensive simulation papers and exercises in the supplementary books she bought that day, thoroughly consolidating her high school math foundation.
When she had mastered all the high school knowledge points, doing exercises became a very enjoyable thing.
She could not help but lie flat on her back after solving the math problems in the materials. She felt a sense of pride in her heart, as if she were standing on the top of a mountain and looking down on all the other mountains. No matter how unexpected the angles of the questions were, they all still revolved around the knowledge points in the book.
There are some difficult questions that Wu Tong finds quite interesting, which should be competition questions. Some of them have sources marked, while others do not. They are extremely challenging to divergent and logical thinking, and they test the exploration of various knowledge points in high school mathematics to the extreme.
When Wu Tong first started doing this, he inevitably went around in circles.
She had never encountered this type of exercises before and did not have directional thinking in this area. After careful thinking, she was able to solve the problems. However, her intuition suggested that she used more complicated methods to solve some of the problems, and there should be simpler ways of thinking to solve the problems.
Wu Tong plans to find some more in-depth math textbooks after she finishes self-studying all high school subjects at the beginning of the school year. She wants to know where those rigorous math formulas come from? How are they derived? What conditions are needed to derive these formulas? ···
These unknown doubts deeply attracted Wu Tong to explore. She thought that she was slowly finding a research direction that suited her.
Wu Tong stayed at her grandfather's house until the evening of the 31st. After dinner, her uncle sent her home.
At her grandfather's house, she lived on the third floor. She could meditate and exercise in the morning directly on the indoor balcony. Most of the buildings here were low, with the third floor being the roof. It faced south and was sunny, with no shelter. She could exercise and study just like at home without being disturbed. The arrangement of things was what she usually used, so Wu Tong had no difficulty adapting.
School officially starts on September 1st.
As a sophomore in high school, the start of school was a very simple matter. She just had to carry her schoolbag into the classroom and find her seat and sit down.
When class time comes, all students have arrived and the class teacher is in place, and tuition and miscellaneous fees are handed over to the class teacher for processing.
The current period is nine years of compulsory education, and high school students still have to pay tuition and miscellaneous fees, 1,000 per semester. Top students can be exempted from tuition and miscellaneous fees, and even receive rewards, but Wu Tong has never enjoyed this treatment. She thought that starting this semester, she could strive for this treatment, not because her family lacked the tuition, but for the honor that would make her parents proud.
Xincheng No. 1 High School is the best high school in the entire Xincheng County. There are about 20 classes in each grade. Classes one and two are top classes, classes three to seven are Tsinghua classes, and the classes after that are ordinary parallel classes. There can be about a hundred students in a class.
After the division of arts and science into classes in the second year of high school, Classes 1 and 2 remained unchanged as the top science class, commonly known as the elite fast class, and a key arts class was reorganized.
Wu Tong is in Class 7, which was formerly the Tsinghua Class. Her results in the high school entrance examination were pretty good, ranking around 300 to 400 in the county. She was not able to enter the top class, but was assigned to the second-tier Tsinghua Class. The class was taught by teachers who taught Chinese and mathematics for the main subjects, and physics and chemistry for the minor subjects. All of them were teachers of the top class, so the teaching staff was not bad.
Class seven is the science class. Students who choose the liberal arts class will be transferred to other corresponding liberal arts classes, while those who choose science will stay in their original class, so Wu Tong does not need to change classes.
The desks they have now are not the sophisticated single-person desks of later generations. They are still the old-fashioned double desks and square stools without backrests.
There are six desks in a row, two on each side, and two in the middle, arranged side by side. The spacing is like an aisle. There are ten rows in a classroom, and most of them are now full. The day students of No. 1 High School are those who live nearby the county town. Most of the boarding students arrived at school yesterday afternoon.
However, most of those who came early were in the same state, frantically helping each other to make up their summer homework. At this time, those who ranked high in grades and had finished their summer homework were very popular.
Wu Tong sat at the innermost part of the fourth row, leaning against the wall. His deskmate was someone he was familiar with, named Zhang Shumei, who had also chosen science. She had already arrived and was also filling out homework.
Wu Tong was one of them. Their grades in the class were about average, hovering around 30th or 50th place.
