Chapter 7
When Yi Hanxing didn't know, this little dwarf was quite popular.
"Yizhi, did you see that little girl in the first row?" The boy in the back row poked his friend next to him and said, "I just looked at the cover of her book. She's Yi Hanxing!"
"Really?!" The boy in the back row leaned forward and said, "She's Yi Hanxing, who stole the top spot in math and physics from us?"
"What do you mean he stole my first place? That's because of his ability," said Yizi, a male student whose full name is Zhou Yizi.
"I've been crushed by you for so long since we were little, so it's a bit surprising to see you're not first," the male classmate replied. "If He Taofu were first in Chinese, I'd understand. He went to an old-fashioned private school and was known as the Donglin Scholar. I've also heard that Lin Siwei, who's first in history, has a family background in history. We won't argue about first place in physical education, but I'm really surprised you didn't get first place in math and physics."
"This proves that our school is truly a place where hidden talents abound." Zhou Yizhi's expression was resolute. "There are always people better than you, and there are always things better than you. Learning never ends."
"Actually, I'm curious... Apart from Chinese, haven't you ever gotten a score other than full marks? How come you didn't get first place?" asked the boy in the back row.
"Of course it's because of the additional questions." Zhou Yizi said.
"Oh my god! I thought that extra question was just for everyone to see, but it turns out you guys can actually do it?"
If Yi Hanxing heard the boy's question, she would definitely answer him: Of course I did it. Aren't the additional questions equivalent to a test paper with a full score of 120 points instead of 100 points?
The top students all had similar mindsets, and Zhou Yizhi also replied, "Of course I have to. You see, I just didn't do well enough on the supplementary questions, so I was squeezed out of second place."
Since ancient times, the ideas of poor students and top students have been incomprehensible. The two male students murmured, "How terrible."
The scary Yi Hanxing had no idea what the group of boys behind him were talking about him, and instead made friends with the kid at the next table to him.
After the child came to his seat, he asked Yi Hanxing: "Are you my deskmate? This is the mung bean cake made by my cook. It's delicious. Let me give you a try!"
Seeing the golden mung bean cakes brought by the children, Yi Hanxing knew that it must be made by removing the mung bean skins, grinding it finely, adding lard and sugar and pressing it into a mold. He couldn't help swallowing.
After coming to this era, Yi Hanxing not only lost the freedom to eat meat, but also lost the freedom to eat sugar. Seeing the mung bean cake, Yi Hanxing very much followed his heart and restrainedly took a piece and thanked the child: "Thank you! My name is Yi Hanxing, what's your name?"
"My name is Zhou Yuetong." The child smiled with dimples, which made Yi Hanxing call him cute. "I am eleven years old.
Are you about my age?"
Yi Hanxing was originally full of cuteness in her heart, but after hearing Zhou Yuetong's words, she was left with only indifference: "I'm thirteen, thank you!"
"Puchi!" Laughter came from the girls behind.
Yi Hanxing and Zhou Yuetong turned their heads to look at the back row.
"Qingqing, look at the kids nowadays. A ten-year-old says he's eleven, and a twelve-year-old says he's thirteen. Hahaha." The girl in the back row laughed at the girl in the back row.
The girl called Qingqing looked at Yi Hanxing and Zhou Yuetong, feeling so embarrassed that she almost wanted to crawl into the ground. She reminded the girl in the front row: "Your laughter is too loud, everyone heard it and is watching you!"
The girl turned around and saw the dissatisfied looks from Zhou Yuetong and Yi Hanxing. She couldn't help but want to laugh again. She quickly twisted herself and apologized to Yi Hanxing and Zhou Yuetong: "I'm sorry, I brought some pea yellow here, do you want to try it?"
So... was it customary in middle schools in the Republic of China to exchange snacks at the beginning of the school term? Yi Hanxing was a little confused.
Before Yi Hanxing asked the question, someone walked into the classroom and stood on the podium.
"Hello, everyone. I'm your senior. I'm in charge of explaining some of the school's rules. I'm going to write the class schedule down on the blackboard now, so remember to copy it. I'll talk to you about the school clubs later. Everyone must join at least one club. Every day from 3:00 to 5:00, unless you have physical education class, that's your club activity time."
Upon hearing this, Yi Hanxing didn't ask whether exchanging cakes was something that had to be done at the beginning of the school year. He took out his notebook and began to copy the class schedule.
After copying the timetable, Yi Hanxing found that the arrangement of the timetable was quite reasonable. There were 3 classes in the morning and 3 classes in the afternoon. Math, Chinese and English were taught every day, while physics, biology, history and geography took turns. There were 3 physical education classes a week, usually at 3-4 pm. There was extracurricular activities time before school was over at 5 pm. There was one day off after classes six days a week.
The senior student gave a few more instructions, telling everyone that this week's activities will mainly focus on morning exercises. Starting tomorrow, everyone will do morning exercises. Applications for clubs need to be submitted before Wednesday, and everyone will be informed of the clubs they have joined on Friday. After that, the senior student said that he still had classes to teach, so he asked the students to wait for the first class to start at 8 o'clock. At the same time, students who eat breakfast need to be careful not to bring breakfast with strong odors to the classroom, as the teachers don't like it.
After the senior finished speaking, many students took out the breakfast they brought with them, and Zhou Yuetong next to him also began to eat his mung bean cake with slurped grunts.
Only then did Yi Hanxing understand why everyone brought pastries. It turned out that morning exercises were from 6:20 to 6:50 every day, and then 7:00 to 8:00 was everyone's breakfast time!
Yi Hanxing, who had eaten two steamed buns for breakfast on the way, naturally would not eat breakfast at this time, so Zhou Yuetong looked at everyone except himself.
Yi Hanxing, who had not eaten anything other than the mung bean cake, hesitated for a moment and asked, "Would you like some more mung bean cake?
"No, I already had breakfast this morning, thank you." Yi Hanxing refused.
"You got up so early." Zhou Yuetong sighed, and saw that Yi Hanxing was sincere, so he took back the mung bean cake and started to eat it again.
Bored of sitting there, Yi Hanxing simply opened the textbook, intending to review it one more time. Little did he know that this action put a lot of pressure on the students around him.
“You start reading now?” Zhou Yuetong was a little anxious at the sight, and wanted to finish all the pastries as soon as possible: “I just got the book yesterday and haven’t finished reading it yet.
“We didn’t finish
"I didn't prepare at all. Oh my god, there won't be any questions from the teacher today, right?" the boy behind wailed.
Suddenly, the whole class was "rolled up".
When Chinese teacher Sun Han walked in, he saw a group of students studying hard.
Sun Han nodded secretly with satisfaction. After entering the room, he knocked on the podium to attract the attention of the students who were buried in their books: "Hello, students. I am your Chinese teacher, Sun Han. You can call me Teacher Sun.
"I am very pleased that the students in our class love learning so much. Seeing everyone's enthusiasm for learning, I believe that we will spend a wonderful two years in junior high school together. Sun Han said with a smile: "Now the teacher would like to get to know you all. Please introduce yourselves, your name, age, and your favorite poem. Both ancient poems and vernacular poems are acceptable. It would be best if you can analyze the emotions the author wants to express.
This "unconventional" self-introduction was the first time for Yi Hanxing and other students in the class to see it.
But since the teacher asked for this, and the students who were able to get close to Delin Middle School were essentially good students, they naturally did not raise any objections, but instead obediently started introducing themselves from the first student.
"My name is Qin Sisi, I'm fourteen years old. My favorite line of poetry is 'If friends and family in Luoyang ask about me, I'll have a heart as pure as ice in a jade pot.' The author wants to express the feeling of parting..."
…
"My name is Yi Hanxing, I'm twelve years old. My favorite line of poetry is 'Outside the bamboos, three or two branches of peach blossoms...' Just when pufferfish are about to come up, the poet describes the spring scenery. As for the emotions, it should be the love for beautiful scenery and delicious food.
"Cough cough cough! Sun Han was choked by his own saliva: "Are you sure?
Yi Hanxing tilted his head and put on a confused expression.
Seeing Yi Hanxing like this, Sun Han couldn't help but sigh inwardly that he was still a child, thinking about delicious food all day long. Thinking of this, he explained: "The beautiful scenery is indeed, but it is not delicious food.
"But Mr. Dongpo really likes to eat delicious food," Yi Hanxing replied.
"Now that you mention it, it's not ruled out that he would think of the delicious food when he saw ducks, mulberries and pufferfish. Sun Han asked Yi Hanxing to sit down with a smile: "But it's indeed not evident in the poem.
"This is probably what you think in your heart, and what you see is what you get." A student in the back muttered, drawing laughter from the surrounding students.
On the first day of school, Yi Hanxing successfully established the image of an ignorant child in front of the students, taking a step towards the success of his mission.
I figured even if Sun Cheng ran away, no one would suspect me. Yi Hanxing pondered: I can't act too silly either, that wouldn't match my grades, so besides being a greedy kid, what other persona can I establish?!
