Chapter 398: Changing the rules of the game, do you want to compete? There were still many parents standing at the entrance of the association. When they heard this, they were all very surprised and looked over.
Although no one said anything, the way they were pointing and talking in each other's eyes still caught Jiang Si's attention.
Jiang Si touched Zhaozhao's little head, comforted her twice, and then her eyes fell on the staff.
The voice was neither hurried nor slow. "Excuse me, is there a rule in this competition that four-year-olds can't sign up for the youth group?"
The staff member was stunned for a moment, "That's not the case."
The Abacus Association only stipulates that children over 15 years old are not allowed to apply for the children's group. In the past, there were children as young as five years old who applied, but their results were not very ideal, so they were eliminated in the second round.
"Since it meets the requirements, it's her freedom to sign up for any event." Jiang Si said this to the children.
Although he is called a child, he must be at least twelve or thirteen years old.
It's a pity that he doesn't understand it as well as a three-year-old child.
"Zhao Zhao, just remember this: a blacksmith must be strong himself. Useless ridicule and doubt are worthless."
Zhao Zhao nodded, "Yes, Zhao Zhao will remember it."
"Come on, mom and great-grandfathers are waiting for you outside."
Zhao Zhao nodded vigorously.
Just then, the preparatory bell rang on the radio.
She waved her little hand and followed the group into the Abacus Association.
Due to the large number of applicants for the youth group, the competition venue was directly arranged at the association's activity center.
There were not enough desks and benches inside, so we had to temporarily move some from the office.
Even so, he still didn't sit down.
Zhao Zhao took small steps and fell behind at the end. By the time she entered the room, there were no empty seats left.
Just as she was looking around to see if there were any empty seats, a group of people walked in with test papers.
The person in the lead was none other than the president of the Abacus Association, Lan, who was also one of the invigilators for the youth group.
He had just heard from the people below that this time the youth group had the youngest applicant in history.
With a bit of curiosity and a bit of admiration, President Lan pointed to the proctoring desk where he sat and said, "Little boy, there's no room over there. You can sit here."
Zhao Zhao was not at all nervous. He bent down, said thank you to the old man, and then sat down obediently.
Then he calmly took out the sleeves from his pocket.
The test paper was stained with ink, which was very difficult to wash off from clothes.
After putting on the sleeves, she took out her own abacus.
When he looked up, he found that everyone's eyes were on him.
Zhao Zhao blinked in confusion. Why was he looking at her? Her face didn't show an answer.
Fortunately, the game bell officially rang soon after.
The entire activity center was instantly filled with the sound of plates being plucked.
While everyone was busy calculating, Zhao Zhao didn't move at all.
Not really, her eyes were fixed on the test questions on the test paper.
The right hand was fiddling with it quickly.
This strange behavior once again aroused President Lan's curiosity.
He set all the test questions this time, and they were much more difficult than before.
The majority of the questions were from level 5, and there were several questions that were beyond the syllabus. The questions tested content from level 4 abacus.
This is undoubtedly a bit too much to ask of a four-year-old child.
Just when President Lan thought that she couldn't solve any of the problems.
Zhao Zhao was already quickly dialing the abacus at hand.
What is surprising is that her hands are so fast that she doesn't even look at the abacus most of the time.
President Lan was just in a daze, and Zhao Zhao had already started filling in the answers.
The Arabic numerals she wrote were clear and neat, not at all like the handwriting of a four-year-old child.
The original time limit for answering the questions was ten minutes, but Zhao Zhao finished in just under ten minutes.
After answering the questions, she did not look around like other children, but picked up the test paper again and checked it from the beginning.
Ten minutes passed quickly, and the first elimination match officially ended.
There is an hour break in between.
When Zhaozhao came out, her family didn't ask her how she did on the exam or what her answer was.
The fact that she can stand here today is enough to make them proud.
Zhao Zhaoyuan also wanted to tell everyone that she should be able to advance.
Thinking of what her mother had said, "Remember not to open the champagne halfway through," she finally held back.
Anyway, we will know whether we advance or not soon.
She didn't say it, but Jiang Si was not worried at all.
Zhao Zhao does have a certain talent for abacus.
This can also be seen from Zhuo Mingda's expression of praise.
So it shouldn't be a problem for her to advance.
