Zhou Xiu turned her head away awkwardly as Zhou Cheng looked at her with a burning gaze.
Zhou Cheng looked at his daughter expectantly, but after a long time he didn't get any response from her.
Zhou Cheng sighed silently in his heart.
He recalled Zhou Xiu looking at him eagerly, hoping that he would not send her away.
A feeling of regret rushed into Zhou Cheng's heart.
He shouldn't expect Zhou Xiu's forgiveness.
How much Xiu'er trusted him in the past. When she was a child, she stuck to him all day long, drooling, with her big eyes full of admiration. After school, she returned home and happily taught him what the teacher had said. During the six years of primary school, he learned Tang and Song poetry, addition, subtraction and multiplication from his daughter.
I have read Andersen's "The Little Match Girl" and also learned Zhu Ziqing's "Back Figure".
Zhou Cheng turned around with a sad heart.
Zhou Xiu finished eating the buns, wiped her hands with a tissue, and said clearly, "Yes. I'll try my best."
At this moment, Zhou Cheng turned back in disbelief, his eyes suddenly lit up as if he had encountered a firework display.
Finally, he touched Zhou Xiu's head and said nothing.
The father and daughter took the bus home together.
On the bus, Zhou Xiu thought about the reward deposit. The rewards from this month's competitions and monthly exams, plus the tuition and miscellaneous fees refunded by the school, totaled 90,871. This was an unexpected gain for Zhou Xiu. Holding this huge sum of money in his hand, Zhou Xiu had an unreal feeling.
At the end of the month, Zhou Xiu's live broadcast platform can also withdraw money.
After deducting the cost of tutoring classes, reference books and daily expenses, Zhou Xiu had saved more than 110,000 yuan from her previous diligent work. Just enough to cover tuition and fees for next semester.
Yude Middle School waived Zhou Xiu's tuition and miscellaneous fees, so the money on hand was almost useless.
Before the competition, Zhou Xiuben wanted to win the prize to buy a new shop for his family.
Now she can be honest with Zhou Cheng.
After returning home, Zhou Xiu took out her mobile phone and opened the background of the live broadcast software to show Zhou Cheng. She said: "I did a live broadcast of doing homework some time ago and made a lot of money."
"Now that the school has waived my tuition and miscellaneous fees, I still have enough money on hand. We can use the money returned by the school to rent a small shop."
While talking, Zhou Xiu showed Zhou Cheng the backstage of the live broadcast. After just a glance, Zhou Xiu put away his phone.
The backend income column is a six-digit number, 247,653 RMB. Number of fans: 714,000.
Because the system's rewards have been quite generous recently, Zhou Xiu has been on the platform's daily reward list for several times in a row. Among a group of good-looking anchors, Zhou Xiu has popped up several times.
In addition, when Zhou Xiu is free, he will record some videos of Zhou Cheng cooking, which attracts a lot of fans.
After deducting the system rewards, a large part of the extra fans' rewards came to Zhou Cheng.
Zhou Cheng was impressed after just one look: "..."
Zhou Cheng didn't have time to retract his surprised expression. Not only could his daughter earn a scholarship by going to school, but she could also make more money than him by doing a casual live broadcast.
Zhou Cheng touched Zhou Xiu's hair with a complicated expression, "Xiu'er can make money now, she has a promising future."
He paused, showing his white teeth: "But Dad doesn't need you to give him money. Xiu'er will save this money for future use."
"We've been making quite a bit of money selling snail rice noodles lately."
Zhou Cheng took out the crumpled passbook from home and showed it to Zhou Xiu.
Every week Chengdu deposits money into the bank. After a few months, the accumulated balance has reached more than 70,000 yuan. This month, the amount of money they deposited in the bank is unprecedentedly large.
"I originally wanted to pay Xiu'er's tuition." But now it seems that it is not necessary...
Zhou Cheng said excitedly: "Let's move!"
They moved to a house that was closer to the school and bigger, with a wider kitchen and a wider bedroom. When Zhou Xiu returned home, there was almost no space for her to move around, let alone Zhou Cheng and his wife.
"After this month, we'll move next month."
Zhou Cheng did what he said. He had been doing business in this city for half a year and had made some connections. He was already familiar with the area. He began to look for a new house.
He carefully selected a community that was not far from Yude Middle School, clean and cheap. Although it is an old community, the rent is cheap and it is located on the side of the road, which makes the environment much better than the mixed urban villages.
This time, the Zhou family rented a two-bedroom, one-living-room house with bright interior light. Zhou Cheng personally bought environmentally friendly paint and diligently painted the aging walls a dazzling white.
…
After the monthly exam at Yude Middle School, Lao Wang paid more attention to the competition. To be more precise, he kept a closer eye on a few top students.
Even a genius like Xie Cheng did a lot of test papers conscientiously.
In early April, Lao Wang went to the city to attend a research meeting organized by the Education Bureau. When Lao Wang came back from the meeting, his face was as long as the King of Hell and he was very unreasonable.
The two science key classes were given tests all day long, and for a while, the students in the Rocket Class and the Winners Class subconsciously wanted to vomit when they saw math problems.
At the same time, Lao Wang also changed the time of the mathematics competition class from Wednesday afternoon and Saturday morning to Thursday afternoon and Sunday morning.
After Lao Wang made this change, all the students in the math class sensitively understood the teacher's intention.
They discussed among themselves: “Hmm…why do I feel like I’m overthinking?”
The math competition class, which has not changed since the first year of high school, has changed its schedule! Why does it feel like... the course schedule was changed specifically to accommodate Zhou Xiu?
The other students were silent.
Sorry, that's exactly what I was thinking.
Zhou Xiu was the only weirdo in the entire grade who signed up for two competitions. Everyone waited for Zhou Xiu to succeed for half a semester, but unexpectedly they got the news that she was first in the city in biology.
The office of the second grade group.
Mr. He, the teacher in the rocket class, breathed a sigh of relief for the first time in his life.
"Teacher Wang, you are so broad-minded. Thank you."
He finally didn't have to worry about Zhou Xiu not coming to biology class. After the biology preliminary round, the mathematics competition was just around the corner. To be honest, Teacher He was really worried that Zhou Xiu couldn't bear the pressure and gave up one of the subjects.
After all, there are two competitions in May, biology and mathematics, and you will have to make a choice at the end of the day.
Teacher Wang doesn't have to worry about the mathematics competition. Although he is missing Zhou Xiu, he still has top students such as Xie Cheng, Xu Haobo, Qi Yaguang, etc. But as for the biology competition, we can only hope that Zhou Xiu will win glory for the school.
Lao Wang hummed coldly and bent over his desk to correct the papers.
After correcting the test papers, he took off his glasses, rubbed his temples wearily, and sighed.
After the monthly exam, the head teachers of each senior class held a class meeting to mobilize students for the college entrance examination for the first time.
In addition to the college entrance examination mobilization meeting held by the senior high school students, the lower grade students also held a college entrance examination mobilization meeting. It is not uncommon for senior high school students to hold mobilization meetings, but this time, students from the first and second years of high school were also present, and they were all shocked.
Class 24.
In the class meeting, Miss Li said to the students in the audience earnestly: "The school encourages students to actively participate in the college entrance examination. The college entrance examination is the fairest competition in life. It is also the largest and most rigorous national examination. Youth without the college entrance examination is incomplete youth."
"I will ask the class representatives to distribute the college entrance examination registration intention form later. Students who are interested in participating in the college entrance examination can tick it. I hope that the students..."
Miss Li paused and continued: "Actively participate."
Miss Li’s words almost made the poor students in Class 24 laugh.
College entrance examination?
Does not exist.
Most of Yude’s students finish high school in the country and directly take the SAT and TOEFL exams. Asking them to take the college entrance examination now, are you kidding me?
In previous years, the school had never done such an exaggerated thing, requiring a group of students who were ready to study abroad to take the college entrance examination, but this year was different.
After Miss Li finished speaking, she didn't hold out much hope, as she couldn't even convince herself.
It is good enough if the students in the class are willing to seriously participate in the school's monthly exams, final exams, and even unified examinations. It is really difficult to ask them to participate in the college entrance examination.
The head teacher just walked to Zhou Xiu's desk and said to her, "Come to my office after school."
The application form was handed to Zhou Xiu, who took out a fountain pen and ticked the form without hesitation.
After the class meeting, all the classes in the corridor found that they had enjoyed the same treatment and held a college entrance examination mobilization meeting.
The poor students discussed this matter as a joke: "Why do we suddenly have to hold such a class meeting?"
"Doesn't the head teacher have any idea of what's going on?"
For example, a poor student like Yuan Ruoyi, although she gradually likes studying, but when asked to take the college entrance examination, she subconsciously shakes her head.
A classmate in the class scratched his head and said, "I might know what this is about."
"My dad told me that because our school has too few students taking the college entrance exam, although the pass rate for key schools is high, it is basically supported by students in key classes. This year, the Municipal Education Bureau has come up with a new evaluation index system and is discussing canceling our school's qualification as a 'key school'."
The number of students in the key classes of liberal arts and science is not small, and the total number of students who go to Peking University and Tsinghua University every year can beat that of ordinary key schools. This time, the top students in the key classes are not to blame, but the students in the ordinary classes are holding back.
When the poor students heard this, they all fell silent.
Xu Qing thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll sign up."
As soon as he finished speaking, he took the form and ticked the box neatly.
Xu Qing's words made the poor students in the class tremble in fear.
How could something as scary as taking the college entrance examination be as easy as eating and drinking water in the class monitor's mouth?
The tidbits saw Zhou Xiu tick the box without hesitation and snatched the application form: "My TOEFL is not a problem, and I passed the A-level. Studying abroad is not a problem. I'll just take the college entrance examination for fun."
Yu Qingyan said: "The whole class of Master Yuan should be participating. All the male gods have participated, so it's okay for me to join in the group."
Yu Qingyan also made a promise.
The form was handed to Du Feiyang and a group of poor students. It was approaching late spring and the weather was getting hotter. For the first time in his life, Du Feiyang had a few beads of sweat on his forehead.
What's this?
This is the college entrance examination!
This is not a monthly exam!
This is not a joke. If I get into a second-tier university, wouldn't that be a drag on the school?
He rubbed his hands, coughed, smiled and said, "I, I am a poor student, so I...don't..."
Lan Xin admired Huaxu's courage for having the courage to take the college entrance examination. Huaxu shrugged and said, "What are you afraid of? There are still 413 days before the college entrance examination. There is still a long time to prepare."
Zhou Xiu, who was doing homework, raised her head, looked around, and saw that all her classmates had frowned in worry.
She said, "Xu Xu is right, what are you afraid of?"
"Fighting for the school should be a good experience."
The poor students were stunned when they heard this.
Fight for the school, why does this slogan sound so strange and exciting?
For poor students, is this the slogan they would shout when they follow the school team to compete with other schools?
Even a poor student like the one in Class 24 wouldn't dare to make such a boast.
They thought about it and felt that there was nothing wrong with it. Isn’t rounding up just fighting for the school?
After several years, when I go out to every corner of the world and meet a stranger from China, I can still pat my chest and say, "I am a student of Yude High School."
Yude High School is the only key private school for aristocrats in the province.
Huaxu looked at Du Feiyang's timid appearance and couldn't help but said with contempt: "It's not like you can decide your whole life with just one exam."
"I don't even dare to sign up--"
Du Feiyang was so stimulated that he grabbed the watch and ticked the box on the spot.
Zhou Xiu put down the test paper at hand. She looked at everyone's embarrassed but eager eyes. She thought for a moment and said, "I think you all have a good foundation."
"It won't be a problem if you review carefully, just believe in yourself?"
Tan Ming chose to believe in himself, took the form, and ticked the box behind his name.
After school.
Zhou Xiu went to the head teacher's office.
The head teacher handed Zhou Xiu a document and told her: "The school needs you to win glory, so we have decided to increase the proportion of the scholarship."
"I have to do my best in this biology and mathematics competition. If I win the provincial first prize, the prize money will be very considerable."
In addition, the head teacher also gave her some basic information about the reward criteria for the provincial ranking in the college entrance examination.
Zhou Xiu was stunned. She held the list in her hand, and her heart skipped a beat when she looked carefully at what was written on it.
She was a little unsure and glanced at her head teacher. The head teacher nodded.
This is not just a simple list, it is clearly a gold vein.
"Would this be...too much?"
The head teacher responded with a mysterious smile.
It is a lot, but it also depends on whether you can get such a reward.
Zhou Xiu read on and found that the first place in the provincial college entrance examination would be rewarded with 1,000,000 yuan, the second place would be rewarded with 800,000 yuan, the third place would be rewarded with 600,000 yuan, the 4th to 5th place would be rewarded with 500,000 yuan, the 5th to 10th place would be rewarded with 450,000 yuan, the top 30 would be rewarded with 300,000 yuan, the top 50 would be rewarded with 200,000 yuan, and the top 100 would be rewarded with 100,000 yuan.
And these rewards are cumulative.
Zhou Xiu concealed her feelings and moved her complicated gaze to another award, the competition reward. She picked out two competitions she was participating in and took a look:
Biology Competition: The gold medal award is 100,000 yuan, the provincial first prize is 50,000 yuan, and the provincial second prize is 2,000 yuan.
Mathematics competition: Entering IMO will be rewarded with 1 million yuan, the gold medal will be rewarded with 300,000 yuan, the provincial first prize will be rewarded with 50,000 yuan, and the provincial second prize will be rewarded with 2,000 yuan.
She put the list away solemnly, pursed her lips and said to her head teacher: "I understand. I will work hard and strive to bring honor to the school!"
Not to mention the heartwarming act of the school waiving Zhou Xiu's expensive tuition and miscellaneous fees, just for the rewards that the school had spent so much money on, Zhou Xiu would have tried her best to do well in the exam.
Fight for school!
