After Zhou Xiu returned to the Xi family, Aunt Niu poked her head out and said to her, "Xiu Xiu, the madam bought you new clothes. Go and have a look."
Zhou Xiu's eyes fell on the sofa, where several new sets of clothes were casually spread out. She didn't even need to touch them to know that the quality of these clothes was incomparable to the sportswear she had just bought on sale.
Zhou Xiu took a look and recognized it as a brand that a classmate had used before.
Aunt Niu said as she wiped the table, "It's my fault, it's been winter for a while now, and I didn't notice that Xiuxiu had no clothes to wear."
"If my wife hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten it."
Aunt Niu's eyes fell on Zhou Xiu.
The school distributed two sets of winter uniforms. Zhou Xiu wore the school uniform every day during this period. She didn’t even have a thick down jacket in such a cold weather.
Which girl of this age doesn’t like to dress up and hate wearing school uniforms? Not to mention those young ladies from wealthy families, even her niece has a closet full of clothes and dresses herself up to look lively and beautiful.
Today, my wife frowned in confusion and asked her, "Why does Zhou Xiu have nothing to wear? Didn't we give her living expenses?"
Aunt Niu was stunned.
It was not until I went to Zhou Xiu's room that I realized she had very few clothes. There were only a few sets of clothes hanging in the huge closet. Not only were there few clothes, but there were also few personal belongings.
At this moment, Aunt Niu suddenly realized: "This child was used to hardship and doesn't dare to spend money lavishly."
This little thing was not something that Xi's mother took to heart. She said casually, "Go ask the housekeeper for some money to buy her some clothes."
Zhou Xiu was a little stunned when she saw these brand new clothes.
"Try it on and see if it fits?" said Aunt Niu.
Zhou Xiu's eyes became a little complicated, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.
These clothes are expensive enough to cover the food and clothing expenses of Zhou's family of more than a dozen people for several months.
It was insignificant to Xi's mother, but it was too heavy for Zhou Xiu.
Zhou Xiu always kept in mind that the Xi family might kick her out and take back their funding in the future. Zhou Xiu saved all the living expenses given by Xi's mother and did not spend a penny.
Zhou Xiu didn't need these new clothes. If she needed them, she would buy them herself.
She sighed inwardly and said with a smile, "Thank you, Aunt Niu."
"Thank Aunt Xi for me, too."
Zhou Xiu thought this was not sincere enough, so she waited in the living room for Xi's mother to come back from get off work.
When Xi's mother returned home, she didn't expect that the little girl she sponsored would be waiting for her after get off work in the middle of the night. As soon as the door was opened, she pulled her head out of the book.
Mother Xi's eyes fell on Zhou Xiu's hands, where there was a thick stack of books. It was obvious that she was very hardworking.
The girl said gratefully: "I have received all the clothes. They are very warm. Thank you, Auntie."
"But, Auntie, don't worry about buying clothes for me in the future. It will be very troublesome for you."
Xi's mother nodded lightly. Who would have the mind to buy clothes for her?
After changing her clothes, she drove to the beauty salon for a massage and beauty treatment.
It was not until the beauty treatment was completed that Xi's mother called her son and asked him coldly and jokingly, "Why are you suddenly concerned about Zhou Xiu?"
“It’s really rare.”
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time before a voice came out: "It's none of your business."
…
Three days later, the school sports meet came to an end, and Class 24 won second place in the grade's total group score.
The first one is Winnerband.
After the school sports meet, Zhou Xiu went to the office and sincerely apologized to the biology teacher.
Zhou Xiu said: "Teacher, I want to join the biology competition class and participate in the biology competition in March next year."
The biology teacher did not blame Zhou Xiu for rejecting her. Instead, she was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. She saw Zhou Xiu sign the form and pay the tuition fee with her own eyes.
There was still more than a month left in this semester and the tuition fee was not much, so Zhou Xiu calmly took out eight hundred yuan and gave it to the biology teacher.
The biology teacher gave Zhou Xiu some test papers and reference books on the spot.
Although she felt painful when paying the money, Zhou Xiu's heartache disappeared instantly when she held the heavy test papers and reference books.
[I remember that I got a 100 yuan reward for writing the Mathematical Olympiad test paper last time, right? 】
Zhou Xiu received a positive response from the system:
[Ding——If you get 80% correct answers to questions from previous biology competitions, you will receive a 200 RMB reward]
[If you get 80% correct on past math league exam questions, you can get a 300 RMB reward]
All these test papers can be exchanged for money!
Zhou Xiu got the tutoring materials and took the time to read through them carefully.
Zhou Xiu is usually very interested in biology, and she goes to the library every day to read and look up information. When I was writing the biology competition test papers, I didn't find it as difficult as math.
It was also at this time that Zhou Xiu clearly discovered that learning is a very interconnected thing.
She previewed the high school biology content in advance and laid a solid foundation. Zhou Xiu often hangs out in the library, reading to broaden her knowledge. At this moment, she is doing the biology test like a duck in water.
But on the contrary, in terms of Mathematical Olympiad, Zhou Xiu's knowledge system is seriously out of touch. There are many students in the competition class who have been exposed to Mathematical Olympiad since elementary school. Zhou Xiu lags far behind others.
It takes a lot of time to make up for what you have missed, and it still takes a lot of effort to catch up.
Zhou Xiu spread out the test paper and started writing carefully. She found a solution to the blank spaces on the test paper by borrowing related books from the library at noon.
The advantage of writing an open-book test is that Zhou Xiu can find ways to solve any doubts on the test paper.
[The accuracy rate of the 2018 biology competition questions reached 95%, and you will receive a 200RMB reward]
…
On Wednesday, Zhou Xiu went to the Mathematical Olympiad competition class as usual.
She finished the first half of the class, looked at the clock, packed her bag and prepared to go to the biology class next door. It was her first biology competition class and she had no reason to miss it.
In the second half of the Mathematical Olympiad class, there will be an in-class test. Zhou Xiu can take the test paper home and take it again without affecting the course progress.
Zhou Xiu walked up to the class monitor Xu Haobo and asked him for the test paper for the next class.
"I won't be taking the test later. Please ask the monitor to give me the test paper. I will finish it in my spare time."
Xu Haobo frowned and looked at Zhou Xiu with a frown: "Zhou Xiu, are you going to skip class?"
There was a hint of inquiry on his face.
As soon as the monitor finished speaking, the students who were resting with their eyes closed raised their heads and looked at Zhou Xiu in surprise.
Mr. Zhou has only been here for a few days, and he dares to skip classes?
Teacher Wang has a very strange temper and will not accept absences unless there are special reasons.
Moreover, the math competition class is only once a week. What's the point of participating in the competition when you don't even have the competition class?
To be frank, if you don't listen carefully in class, you may not be able to keep up with the rest of the class next time. There are not many people in Quan Yude who dare to skip classes so blatantly. And those people will soon be cleared out of the competition class by Teacher Wang.
Zhou Xiu shook her head. "I have already asked the teacher for leave. I will go to the competition class next door later."
Isn’t the class next door the biology competition class?
The top students around Xu Haobo looked at Zhou Xiu with even more strange eyes.
There is no need to think about which is more important, the biology competition or the mathematics competition.
Even if you win the first prize in the provincial biology competition, you will only be qualified for independent enrollment in key schools. However, the first prize in the provincial mathematics competition is enough to apply to key universities.
The students in the math competition class were all confused and stared at Zhou Xiu with complicated eyes.
In previous years, there have been students who participated in several competitions at the same time, but they often failed badly. Mathematical competitions are already exhausting enough and may even affect one's academic performance.
Zhou Xiu is like this... is it because learning is too difficult and she voluntarily gave up and quit?
Xu Haobo reminded angrily: "This test is very important, it's best not to be absent."
He looked at Zhou Xiu's indifferent expression and shook his head.
When Zhou Xiu made those harsh words at the entrance of the Rocket Class, Xu Haobo looked her straight in the face.
Now it seems nothing special.
"Zhou Xiu, you can easily give up the math competition, so what qualifications do you have to compete with the students in the Rocket Class?"
As soon as Xu Haobo finished speaking, a faint laughter was heard around him.
The students in the Rocket Class still treat this sentence as a joke, but the poor students in Class 24 are still very stubborn and always act as if it is a matter of course whenever they see it.
Not only are the basketball games targeting them, but the school sports meet is also stealing the limelight. The students in the Rocket Class are just looking forward to the end of the semester.
So that these poor students can wake up quickly.
This large multimedia classroom is home to the top students in the arts and sciences of the entire grade. They have heard a little about the grievances between Class 24 and the Rocket Class.
I thought something exciting would happen when Zhou Xiu came to the math competition class.
Unexpectedly, she was very quiet and low-key. Two weeks later, apart from her poor grades, she was not as "interesting" as rumored.
I didn't expect it - today, the wait has finally come.
The top student in Winner's class sat up straighter and even took out a bottle of yogurt, put a straw in it, and drank while watching the show.
The student in the Winner class patted the person who was sleeping on the desk next to him:
"Brother Yuan, wake up, the show is about to begin."
Zhong Simiao, who was in the liberal arts class, heard the noise and put down his pen.
She frowned as she looked at Zhou Xiu, and she didn't quite approve of his behavior. However, it is normal for students in the competition class to come and go, walk around.
She respected Zhou Xiu's choice and didn't have the time to meddle in other people's affairs. I just couldn't help but shook my head.
Qi Yaguang crossed his arms and said to Zhou Xiu, "It seems like the monthly test will be next week. Zhou Xiu——"
She stretched out her voice and asked, "Are you quitting because you can't make it any further? That's fine. The pace here is too fast and it should be difficult for you."
Zhou Xiu didn't know that the competition class had monthly tests yet. After listening to her, she said seriously, "I know."
But even if he knew it now, it wouldn't change the fact that Zhou Xiu had to take biology class.
Zhou Xiu could not tolerate such extravagant behavior as paying the money but not attending the class.
"Thank you for the reminder."
Qi Yaguang snorted, "Who reminded you?"
If Zhou Xiu really quits the Mathematical Olympiad competition class, Lu Lingshan will be able to come in. Qi Yaguang knew that Lu Lingshan had been longing to join the competition class for a long time.
Some people have such opportunities easily but don't cherish them, while some people put in a lot of efforts but still cannot achieve them.
Zhou Xiu is not worthy of staying in the math competition class.
She watched Zhou Xiu enter the biology competition class next door, and said with a light laugh: "Go ahead, Zhou Xiu, listen carefully, listen seriously——"
"It's nothing. Giving up is also a wise choice."
Zhou Xiu paused while holding her schoolbag. She turned around, raised her eyebrows, curled her lips and asked Qi Yaguang softly:
"Is your face still swollen?"
Qi Yaguang was far away and couldn't understand what Zhou Xiu was saying at first, but when he got closer and listened -
grass.
Qi Yaguang's face suddenly darkened, then turned black and then red, and then red and then green.
So... the students in the Winners class, who were eating melon seeds and planning to watch the show, saw Qi Yaguang walking back to the classroom with an excited look on his face.
She returned to her seat and sat down, slamming the thermos flask down heavily. She was so angry that she tore up the test papers one by one and crumpled the papers into a ball with her palms.
The boys in Winner Class were stunned and started to complain: "Oh my, girls are so scary."
"What on earth did Zhou Xiu say to her that made her so angry?"
"Haha, Du Feiyang is right. Xiuxiu from their class seems to be quite capable. She can't stand any loss."
The class bell rang and Lao Wang was invigilating the math test. He looked around and found no sign of Zhou Xiu, so he snorted coldly.
The unhappiness on his face was very obvious.
I thought he was a serious and down-to-earth student, but I didn't expect he would be so arrogant. Mathematics is not interesting at all, but why do you have to join in the fun of biology?
He handed out the test papers and said in a deep voice, "Those who score below 70 points in this exam will be rewarded with a new test paper collection I have published."
"After the winter break, finish writing it and give it to me."
The top students suddenly felt nervous and no longer wanted to watch the fun. Everyone felt insecure.
