Jin Xin took the test paper Wu Tong handed him in a daze, went to school in a daze, and sat in his seat in the classroom in a daze, basically relying on instinct. He felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
"Hi...hihihi..." Zhao Lei waved his hand in front of his deskmate and good friend. Seeing that he still didn't react, he couldn't help but grin and reached out to pull the Chinese textbook that Jin Xin was holding upside down. "The teacher is here!"
Jin Xin was frightened immediately. He came to his senses 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?" Zhao Lei was almost sent away by the sudden shock. He 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 in their area, 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 said in a trance.
"Damn... you're going to feel like you're ascending!" What is ascension? It's a disaster.
If they have a genius sister, then they will be compared to others. Hehe... Under the sharp contrast of their grades, the mountains of books and the sea of exams will drown them, turning them from salted fish into dried salted fish!
"What happened to our sister?"
Zhao Lei knew that there was only one person Jin Xin could call his sister, his cousin from his aunt's family, who grew up with him and 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 his own affairs. As for his sister's affairs, let's not talk about them 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 seriously. If he didn't work hard and didn't get good grades, he wouldn't be able to show off his dignity as Tongtong's brother in the future!
Here, Wu Tong considerately gave her brother enough time to react, and did not rush to chase after his brother to help him with his review.
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 angles of questions 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 has mastered all the high school knowledge points, doing exercises becomes a very enjoyable thing.
She laid flat on her back, a sense of pride surging within her as she worked through the math problems in the textbook. No matter how unexpected the angles of the questions were, they all centered around the knowledge points in the book.
Wu Tong did find some of the more challenging questions quite interesting; they were probably competition questions. Some had sources, others didn't. They were extremely challenging to both divergent and logical thinking, pushing one's knowledge of various high school math concepts 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 any directional thinking in this area. After careful thinking, she was able to solve the problems. However, her intuition suggested that she used a more complicated method to solve some of the problems. There should be simpler ways of thinking to solve the problems.
Wu Tong planned to find some more in-depth math textbooks after she finished self-studying all her high school subjects at the start of the school year. She wanted to know where those rigorous mathematical formulas came from, how they were derived, and what conditions were required to derive them.
These unknown questions deeply attracted Wu Tong to explore. She thought she was slowly finding the right research direction for 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, and the third floor was 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, and Wu Tong had no difficulty adapting to it.
School officially starts on September 1st.
As a sophomore in high school, starting 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 are present and the class teacher is in place, and tuition and miscellaneous fees are handed over to the class teacher for processing.
The current nine-year compulsory education period still required high school tuition and fees, amounting to 1,000 yuan per semester. Top students were exempt from tuition and even received bonuses, but Wu Tong had never enjoyed such privileges. Starting this semester, she thought, she could strive for such privileges, not because her family needed 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 twenty 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 liberal arts and science into classes in the second year of high school, Classes 1 and 2 remained unchanged as the top science classes, commonly known as the elite fast classes, and a key liberal arts class was reorganized.
Wu Tong is in Class 7, which was formerly the Tsinghua Class. Her high school entrance exam results were pretty good, ranking around 300 to 400 in the county. She failed to get into the top class and was assigned to the second-tier Tsinghua Class. The class was taught by teachers who taught Chinese and math as the main subjects, and physics and chemistry as the minor subjects. The teachers were all from the top class, and the teaching staff was not bad either.
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 in the county town. Most of the boarding students arrived at school yesterday afternoon.
However, most of the people who came early were in the same state, frantically helping each other to copy 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 end of the fourth row, leaning against the wall. His deskmate was someone he knew well, Zhang Shumei, who had also chosen science. She had already arrived and was also busy completing homework.
Wu Tong was one of them. Their grades in class were similarly average, hovering around 30th to 50th place.
