Yude’s honor roll for this month’s exam and the biology league’s honor roll were posted together.
On the monthly exam honor roll, Zhou Xiu ranked third. On the biology competition's honor roll, Zhou Xiu won first place in the city, and was specially marked as full marks.
The students in the second grade were no strangers to the name Zhou Xiu, but they were still shocked to see that she had ranked first in the city.
How can you get full marks in a competition?
Students from other grades saw the honor roll posted and thought, "Is this Zhou Xiu... the student in the ordinary class a while ago?"
They could actually see the protagonist of post 818 on the honor roll, and everyone felt confused.
"I heard that her grades aren't that good. Isn't it because she's too busy dating to study?"
The inherent impression left by that post was too deep. Just by looking at the photos, it really felt like there were some sparks between her and several boys.
He had no interest in studying and had average grades, but he could get first place in the city and become a big winner in the competition. The students who had heard the story were shocked.
The junior high school students also recalled the rumors about Zhou Xiu and the school beauty's discord.
The sophomore student coughed lightly: "Zhou Xiu is already very good, okay?"
If you think about it carefully, there are legends about her everywhere in the grade. Her test scores soared like a rocket, and she scored full marks in math and biology every time. The review materials she casually compiled helped the students in her class improve their scores by several dozen points, and she decisively gave up the qualification to enter the rocket class...
"But--"
"Haven't you read the clarification post? Go check it out." A student took out his cell phone and clicked on the post that the behind-the-scenes story posted on the forum.
"No, I don't believe it. I don't want to see it." The student who liked Lu Lingshan shook his head stubbornly.
The student who took out his cell phone: “…”
Okay, give them some face.
…
Focus on No. 4 Middle School.
At the same time, No. 4 Middle School also posted the competition’s honor roll. In this biology competition, there were a total of seven students from No. 4 Middle School who scored full marks, including super academic geniuses Du Heng and Jiang Yuanyuan.
Yue Shi also won the first prize, but because she was two points short, her city ranking was left far behind by dozens of places.
Only 10 students received full marks in the city competition. The number is not large, but the three missing ones are particularly eye-catching.
The biology teacher of No. 4 Middle School had already obtained the list, and the other three were from No. 2 Middle School, No. 1 Middle School, and Yude respectively.
Yude?
When the teachers saw this name, they slowly frowned.
They recalled the grudges over the annual high school entrance exams. Every year, Yude relied on generous bonuses to attract top students, but year after year, Yude could not produce outstanding results in the college entrance exams. To put it bluntly, it's like occupying the toilet without doing anything.
The teachers at No. 4 Middle School look down on this key private school.
Yue Shi went to the office to hand in her classmates' homework. She overheard the teachers' conversation and heard the word "Yude".
After she went back, she did a quick search and saw Zhou Xiu's name without any effort.
Yue Shi showed a surprised look.
When did Zhou Xiu become so good that he could get full marks?
The top students who achieved good results in this biology competition did not think it was surprising that other schools had top students. Although the students of their own school were very good, there were always people better than you.
However, considering that the teacher from No. 4 Middle School specifically mentioned a girl's name that day, it was very impressive.
They asked Yue Shi: "Is Zhou Xiu the girl who wore makeup to take the exam that day?"
"Is it her?"
It is really subversive to think that a student like this, who is like a vase, can achieve such outstanding results in the exam.
"She's pretty."
Only Jiang Yuanyuan knows the grudge between Yue Shi and Zhou Xiu. Jiang Yuanyuan doesn't like girls like Zhou Xiu who are full of scheming and tricks.
Although she was a little surprised as to why a student like Zhou Xiu could achieve such results.
She was not used to these boys who only looked at faces, so she said calmly, "It's just the preliminary round, everyone is just taking the test casually. There's nothing great about getting a perfect score, after all, the level of the biology league is really not high."
…
weekend.
Zhou Cheng took his daughter and a bag of fruit to Xi's house.
Before they arrived at the Xi family, someone had already come to visit. She was Xi's mother's close friend - Hao Yuemiao.
Hao Yuemiao was also the one who brought Zhou Xiu out of the mountains and gave her to Xi's mother to take care of.
After the two sisters finished chatting about trivial matters, Hao Yuemiao asked casually: "I just returned to China and saw the Weibo post you posted. What happened?"
Xi's mother gave a brief and concise account of the matter.
After hearing this, Hao Yuemiao said in surprise: "Zhou Xiu, she wouldn't do such a thing. I saw you sending her away, and I was a little worried that you would misunderstand her like this."
Xi's mother asked, "Why do you think so?"
In her impression, Zhou Xiu was a man of few words and never asked for anything on his own initiative. Even when she forgot to give him living expenses in the first few days, he didn't say a word. I have the impression that she is a very well-behaved child.
It just so happened that her parents came to the city specifically to take her back, and that's why Zhou Xiucai left.
Seeing her friend caring so much about Zhou Xiu, Xi's mother couldn't help but ask, "Do you like Zhou Xiu very much?"
Without even understanding the situation clearly, Hao Yuemiao immediately concluded that she was not someone who could do such a thing. This trust surprised Xi's mother.
Hao Yuemiao nodded and said, "Don't you like me to meddle in your affairs? She is the smartest child I have ever met."
"Speaking of which, this child is quite pitiful."
She told Mrs. Xi: "That day we went to the mountains to collect folk songs and met Zhou Xiu..."
"I was vomiting and having diarrhea after the long journey and felt very uncomfortable. I didn't want to stay in the village at all. She was very young and brought a group of half-grown children with her. She arranged a homestay for us and took care of me. She arranged everything very well."
She squinted her eyes, as if she still remembered what happened last year.
The rustic girl showed her white teeth, shyly and calmly doing all the work, just to earn a little bit of pitiful accommodation fee.
Hao Yuemiao had a USB flash drive in her luggage at the time. There was an inconspicuous document in it. She accidentally opened it once with her laptop when she was in the inn, but found that it contained useless things, so she didn't pay much attention to the USB flash drive.
Zhou Xiu, who was working as a receptionist at the time, probably saw such a high-end notebook for the first time and took a curious look at it. It was this one glance that saved Hao Yuemiao.
On the way to collect folk songs, Hao Yuemiao's USB flash drive was soaked in water and broke, so he threw it away.
A few days later, her husband called her in a hurry and asked about the inconspicuous USB flash drive. After Hao Yuemiao realized its importance, he became anxious and went to the garbage dump to look for the USB flash drive. A group of friends also helped her and rushed to the garbage pit at the entrance of the village to rummage through the garbage.
At this time, Zhou Xiu, who had figured out the whole story, pulled Hao Yuemiao's clothes, took out a piece of paper and wrote down a string of numbers, saying that she remembered it.
Zhou Xiu's original words were: "If it is the document you opened that day, then there is no need to look for it. I remember it."
Hao Yuemiao and his group were so frightened by a little girl in her teens that they stood there in a daze. Was this a joke?
It was a string of dozens of long data with no regular pattern. The numbers are so dense that it’s dizzying!
"I sent what Zhou Xiu wrote to Lao Ji, and he was very excited, saying it was exactly the same. At that time, we thought that this little girl was afraid that she couldn't earn more money for accommodation and didn't want us to leave, so she coaxed us to have fun!"
Hao Yuemiao's husband works at the Academy of Sciences and is a mathematical researcher. The document he is looking for is really important.
Hao Yuemiao was shocked by such a childish high school student.
It’s amazing that such a small place has such smart children. If it were in their family, it would have been treated like a treasure, and would have been sent to a famous school by famous teachers, and cultivated properly!
Hao Yuemiao still remembered Zhou Xiu pursing her lips nervously and asking her expectantly, "Can you lend me 50,000 yuan?"
I remember the envy she expressed when she heard me describing the children in the city and their lives. The stars and the mountains and fields fell into the girl's eyes full of desire. In Hao Yuemiao's eyes, these unique and beautiful scenery usually lost their beauty and became hideous.
"You know what I was thinking at the time? I was thinking that it was unfair that such a child couldn't go to school. Just tens of thousands of dollars could ruin a girl's life. I got so angry that I took her away."
"We originally wanted to come and pick up Zhou Xiu this time, but since her parents have taken her back, let it go."
Hao Yuemiao looked disgusted when he mentioned Zhou Xiu's relatives.
In her impression, Zhou Xiu's parents are very bad, weak-minded and ignorant, but Hao Yuemiao thinks that since Zhou Xiu is willing to live with his parents, there shouldn't be any big problems.
Although Zhou Xiu is young, he knows his limits.
Xi's mother was very surprised when she heard this.
She didn't expect that the poor student she sponsored had such ability. Although the aunt and housekeeper at home often praised Zhou Xiu for her good test scores, Xi's mother just listened and was not interested. After all, Xi Shaoyuan's grades are also very good.
After chatting, Hao Yuemiao and Xi's mother said goodbye to each other and drove to the company to handle business.
At noon, Zhou Cheng and Zhou Xiu did not see Mrs. Xi when they came to the house, but they were used to Mrs. Xi's busyness.
Zhou Cheng said: "Xiu'er's school refunded her tuition and fees for this semester. We saw that it was quite a lot. We felt embarrassed to keep the money, so we had to return it to Mrs. Xi."
How could the Xi family's steward dare to accept the money? He warmly received Zhou Cheng and his daughter and poured them a cup of tea.
The housekeeper said, "Mrs. Xi just wants to help Xiuxiu. This is her little token of her appreciation. Although Xiuxiu doesn't have to pay tuition in the future, she will still need a lot of money for her studies in the future."
Zhou Cheng was about to speak when Xi Shaoyuan returned home.
He was surprised for a moment when he saw Zhou Xiu and his daughter sitting in the living room of his house. When the butler saw the expression on his young master's face, he suddenly understood and explained to him.
Xi Shaoyuan said calmly: "No need."
"Zhou Xiu has already returned the tuition money her mother funded to me."
Zhou Cheng was confused and didn't understand what was going on. The butler looked at the young master's expression. His brain was working rapidly, searching for events from a few months ago.
He wiped his sweat and said, "That's right, I remember now. There really was such a thing."
"Xiu Xiu played games with her classmates during Christmas and won many prizes. She sold the prizes for money and returned them to the young master."
A question slowly appeared on Zhou Cheng's face: "???"
What game can win hundreds of thousands of dollars, even more exaggerated than scratch lottery? Zhou Cheng almost couldn't recognize the word "game" anymore. How could Xiu'er just ask for such valuable things from her classmate? Zhou Cheng was anxious and angry.
The butler and Xi Shaoyuan saw the disapproving expression on Zhou Cheng's face. The butler coughed and explained at the right time -
Xi Shaoyuan said seriously: "Uncle, don't get me wrong, this is Zhou Xiu's own ability to win, if she didn't take it, it could have been taken by another student."
The butler stuffed the money into Zhou Cheng's hand and whispered to him:
"I know you two are not greedy for small gains. It's enough that you have this intention. Take it back! Buy some more nutritional supplements for Xiuxiu to replenish her body."
"Our wife is very rich and donates hundreds of millions to mountainous areas every year. She doesn't care about this little money. The greatest reward for Xiuxiu is to study hard."
Zhou Cheng took the money back silently, nodded vigorously, and felt warm in his heart.
Zhou Cheng and his daughter left the Xi family. When they were walking home, the midday sun was high in the sky and the sun was blindingly bright.
Zhou Cheng bought a bun for Zhou Xiu to fill her stomach. He wiped the sweat off his face and said with emotion: "Xiu'er, many people are helping you. You should cherish the opportunity to study."
He gritted his teeth and said, "Don't think Dad is stingy. We were poor before and couldn't afford to send you to school. Now Dad will work hard to make money. We don't have to rely on others in the future. We can rely on ourselves."
Zhou Xiu nodded.
Zhou Cheng sighed again, "Also, if you have anything in the future, you can tell me."
Although Zhou Cheng couldn't keep up with the city's thinking and often didn't understand what was on Zhou Xiu's mind, he also wanted to understand his daughter and be trusted by her like when they were children.
