Chapter 123123 [Update 1]
Banners like this used to be the exclusive domain of Wuzhong, but this time it was finally the turn of No. 1 Middle School. Principal Sun wished he could surround the entire No. 1 Middle School with such banners, so that all passersby and people in Wucheng could see such banners, and let everyone in the city know that No. 1 Middle School had achieved such a good result in the provincial competition.
If possible, he would like to ride a tricycle with an electric loud speaker and shout around Wucheng.
The banner was pulled by the director of the Political and Educational Department, the director of the Academic Affairs Department, and the security guard, who were holding the escalator. When they were pulling the banner, people from Wuzhong across the street also happened to come out to pull the banner.
Seeing Director Wang across the street, the director of the political and educational department smiled and greeted Director Wang across the street: "Director Wang, you are also here to hold a banner? Congratulations, you won the first prize in the provincial competition this time."
There were ten first prize winners, one from Wuzhong and one from No. 1 Middle School.
Director Wang snorted inwardly, but he came over with a smile on his face and greeted: "Congratulations, you No. 1 Middle School also won the first prize."
In fact, there was no joy in his words.
Originally, our school won the first prize in the province, which was the happiest thing, but I didn't expect that No. 1 Middle School also won the first prize. This time in the competition, they were completely tied with them.
But to tie with No. 1 Middle School, for Wuzhong, it was a loss.
Teacher Wang, who has been promoted to the deputy director of the Academic Affairs Office, also smiled and said, "Now it's still the provincial competition. It would be great if we can win a prize in the national competition next."
This idea, let alone Teacher Wang, even the teachers and directors of Wuzhong across the street, have never dared to think about it.
They originally thought that it would be the best to win a prize in the provincial competition. As for whether to win the first prize, the second prize, or the third prize, it would be fine as long as they could win a prize.
Unexpectedly, they won the first prize, which they expected the most.
Before they could be happy, they heard that No. 1 Middle School across the street also won the first prize. Director Wang was very depressed. Even the fact that his school also won the first prize did not make him so happy.
However, fortunately, their Wuzhong also won the first prize. Otherwise, wouldn't they be suppressed by No. 1 Middle School? That would be even more serious.
The students didn’t know about this at first. After the morning reading class was over, the students went to the cafeteria to eat. Some of them went through the iron gate to buy breakfast at the school gate. They saw the banner on the gate of Wuzhong across the street and learned that Wuzhong had won the first prize again. This was very common in Wuzhong. No one from No. 1 Middle School talked about it. But after seeing the banner at the gate of No. 1 Middle School, the people from Wuzhong went back to school and told the story: “Did you see it? No. 1 Middle School won the first prize in the provincial competition this time.”
“Who is it? So awesome?”
"It must be Jiang Liu."
Although they guessed so, they were not sure whether it was Jiang Liu. But soon, Ruan Hong told them that their guess was correct: "If anyone from No. 1 Middle School wins the first prize in the provincial competition, it must be Jiang Liu."
When they were in the training team, they also had exams. Jiang Liu and Song Peifeng always ranked first or second in every exam. If anyone won the first prize, it could only be her.
Jiang Hehua didn't know that Jiang Xiao had won the provincial first prize at first, but after hearing what Ruan Hong said, when she was leaving school, she saw the gatehouse of No. 1 Middle School opposite the school from the school gate, and heard everyone talking about the improvement of No. 1 Middle School's competition results. Somehow, she suddenly said, "When I saw Jiang Xiao win the award, I suddenly thought of something that happened in our village during the summer vacation."
People in Wu Middle School were not familiar with Jiang Xiao, but because she had defeated Song Peifeng in the joint entrance examination before, and this time, like Song Peifeng, she won the provincial first prize in the competition, which made her very popular. Everyone was very curious about her and asked her what was going on.
Jiang Hehua hesitated for a moment and said, "Some policemen came to our village during the summer vacation, looking for a girl..." She bit her lower lip, as if she didn't know how to say it, "This girl works in that kind of place." She winked at them with a tangled expression, "That place...you know, right? It's for doing..."
She muted the word 'chicken' and said it with her lips instead.
Several girls didn't expect to hear such explosive gossip, but they were also confused: "What does this have to do with Jiang Wu? Jiang Wu is training in our school during the summer vacation!" She guessed in disbelief: "Oh my God, that girl who did... that outside, couldn't she be Jiang Wu's sister?"
Jiang Hehua shook her head and said, "No." When she didn't smile, her face was a little serious, "The police suddenly came to her house because someone reported that she had abducted people to sell~~that one." She said, "It was only when the police came to our village that I knew that the first person she abducted was..." She pointed at the name on the gate of the No. 1 Middle School opposite the school.
The girls who came out with her never thought that they would hear such an amazing gossip just by coming to the school gate to look at the banner of the No. 1 Middle School opposite.
She simply couldn't believe that such a thing was true, and confirmed with Jiang Hehua again: "Impossible, right? You can't say such things casually. When did it happen?" "
It happened during the summer vacation last year. If the police hadn't come to our village to investigate this matter this year, I wouldn't have known about it." Jiang Hehua frowned.
Her face was too serious and her tone was too firm, so firm that no one took her words as a joke.
In particular, they had this conversation at the school gate. There were more than just the two of them at the school gate. Many curious people were listening attentively.
Soon, a rumor spread privately on the campus of Wuzhong.
Jiang Xiao found out about the school hanging a banner at the school gate at noon. The first thing she did after knowing it was to run to the store and pull Grandpa Jiang to see it: "Grandpa, come and see!"
Grandpa Jiang was pulled up from the rocking chair by Jiang Xiao, not knowing what to look at. "What are you looking at?"
"You'll know if you follow me. I'll give you a surprise!"
Grandpa Jiang smiled, not knowing what surprise his granddaughter was going to give him. To be honest, his granddaughter had given him enough surprises, including scares, and he didn't know what other surprises there were.
Jiang Xi took Grandpa Jiang to stand in front of the gate of No. 1 Middle School, pointed at the banner above the gate, and read to Grandpa Jiang word by word: "Congratulations to our classmate Jiang Xi for winning the first prize in the provincial mathematics competition!" She said to Grandpa Jiang with great pride: "Grandpa, did you see that? That's me. I won the first prize in the provincial competition. Are you surprised?"
Grandpa Jiang had been in a blindness class. Although he did not recognize all the characters and his handwriting was incomplete and only he could understand it, he knew some common characters.
Hearing his granddaughter reading, he was stunned at first, then he looked at the banner, and followed what Jiang Xi had just read, reading it again and again. He smiled and looked at the banner hanging on the school gate, as if he had drunk a cup of sweet dew, and felt relaxed.
Jiang Xi still said, "Grandpa, wait for me here, I'll borrow a camera and take a picture of you and our No. 1 Middle School gate, okay?"
Grandpa Jiang said, "Why take photos? Taking photos is so expensive!"
But he stood at the school gate honestly and straightened his crooked collar.
The military training had just ended. Just like last year, after the military training, there was a peak period for taking photos. Countless students took photos with their instructors. In the photo shop next to the school gate, there was a thick pile of photos waiting for students to pick up.
The person taking the photo inside thought Jiang Xi came here to get the photos, and pointed to a pile of photos at the door and said, "The photos are all there, find them yourself."
"I'm not here to get the photos, my grandpa and I want to take some photos, and I want you to help me take the photo."
The person taking the photo was a tall, bald man in his forties. Hearing this, he quickly went in and got out a black camera and asked her, "Where do we take the photo?"
"At the school gate!"
Jiang Xi quickly came over with the person taking the photo, pointed to the banner on the school gate building and said, "Take a photo of my grandpa with the banner."
The photographer knew it as soon as he saw the banner, and said with a smile, "Jiang Xi, that's you, right? You're a good girl, you've brought honor to our No. 1 Middle School."
Jiang Xi smiled with her teeth showing, not feeling embarrassed at all.
The photographer first took a solo photo of Grandpa Jiang, then Jiang Xi went over and took Grandpa Jiang's arm, resting her head on his arm, and took a group photo. Jiang Xi also took a solo photo with the banner.
After taking three photos, Grandpa Jiang felt sorry for the money and said, "Okay, okay, no more photos, you should go back to school." As he said that, he put his hands behind his back and walked happily into the store. Just looking at his back, you can tell how happy this old man is.
Jiang Xi looked at Grandpa Jiang's back. In her previous life, she had countless glories that she wanted to share with others, but at that time, the people she wanted to share with were no longer there.
Now, Grandpa is still here.
Grandpa Jiang walked slowly to the door of the store and saw the proprietress of the egg cake shop next door setting up a stall at the door. He greeted the proprietress for the rare occasion: "
Are you coming to weigh the egg cakes?" The proprietress of the egg cake shop saw Grandpa Jiang, who always stayed in the store, walking back from No. 1 Middle School and asked him with a smile: "Where are you from, old man?"
Grandpa Jiang couldn't help but smile and said: "My eldest granddaughter went to the province to participate in some competition and won the first prize. She hung a banner at the school gate and asked me to go and have a look!"
The proprietress of the egg cake shop also smiled when she heard it. His eyes widened, pointing at the banner on the opposite side of the Wuzhong Gate, and said with a smile: "Is that it? Your granddaughter is really good, she saved the first prize, amazing!" As
the proprietress said this, she used a clip to pick up a few egg cakes and handed them to Grandpa Jiang: "They are freshly out of the pan, take them, old man."
Grandpa Jiang waved his hands and said: "No, no."
The proprietress got up and walked her to Grandpa Jiang's store, came out with a smile and said: "Old man, you are so polite~!"
Jiang Xi made an appointment with the person who took the photo to develop the number of photos and plasticize them, paid the money, and went back to school.
When she came out in the evening, everyone on the street knew that she had won the first prize in the provincial competition. Every vendor on the street would greet her with a smile and say, "You are amazing, little girl!"
"You won the first prize in the province, right? Your grandfather must be very happy!"
"Congratulations, little girl!"
Some people even offered her fruit biscuits to eat. After Jiang Xi refused with a smile, Jiang Xi carried the food she had ordered back to Grandpa Jiang's store.
With Grandpa Jiang's secret boasting, the whole street, including every customer who came to the store to buy clothes, knew that Jiang Xi had won the first prize in the provincial competition!
During the time when Jiang Xi went to the city for training, she couldn't send meals to Grandpa Jiang, so she ordered meals from the small restaurant opposite the school and asked them to send meals to Grandpa Jiang at a fixed time every day.
There are not many other things near the school, but there are a lot of food stalls.
Grandpa Jiang cooks for himself because he finds it troublesome, so he always eats the meals sent by the restaurant.
He is reluctant to waste food.
Jiang Xi knows Grandpa Jiang very well, and she knows what makes Grandpa happy, which is the glory they have achieved again and again.
For example, in her previous life, every time she went home, she would use her scholarship to buy various elderly milk powder and soy milk that she believed were good for the body for Grandpa Jiang. Even though Grandpa Jiang didn't like to drink them, it was bought by his eldest granddaughter's scholarship, and he was not used to the taste of soy milk, but he still drank it happily every day.
Teacher Wang was also very happy about winning the first prize in the provincial competition. Teacher Ji had told him that Jiang Xi was a potential competitor and asked her to focus on the competition route. He was not happy at that time and thought it was unreliable. Although he did not say it explicitly, he urged Jiang Xi to focus on studying the textbooks. He did not expect that Jiang Xi was really a potential competitor as Teacher Ji said and achieved such good results in the competition.
Before, she was in the training and military training. When the freshmen opening ceremony was held, Jiang Xi and Xing Hongyu were not there, so the second-class scholarship, third-class scholarship and excellent scholarship were awarded.
Jiang Xirong won such a great honor for No. 1 Middle School this time, and Principal Sun decided to hold a scholarship ceremony for Jiang Xi and Xing Hongyu during the break.
No. 1 Middle School holds a flag-raising ceremony every week on Mondays, and there is only an exception on National Day.
But Principal Sun specially held a flag-raising ceremony on a non-Monday for Jiang Xi. After the flag-raising ceremony, Director Xiao Wang came forward with a microphone and said to all the students in No. 1: "I believe everyone knows that Jiang Xi from our school won the first prize in the provincial competition of the Olympic Games this year. Here, let us give Jiang Xi a warm round of applause and congratulate him!"
The applause was thunderous.
The second and third graders were familiar with Jiang Xi, but the freshmen who had just entered the first grade still didn't know this top student from the previous year. There were also local students in Wucheng who had seen Jiang Xi on the previous Qingming Festival, but most of them were junior high school students in the towns below, and they didn't know this person. They curiously looked over to the second grade.
Director Wang continued with a smile, "The new students may not know this yet, but the old students should all know that Jiang Xi not only won the first prize in the provincial competition for our No. 1 Middle School, but she was also the winner of the first prize scholarship in the 95th session of the No. 1 Middle School. Jiang Xi not only ranked first in the county in the joint examination of Wucheng last year, but also won the first place in the grade in the two mid-term and final examinations. In addition to her, there is another student who won the first prize. Jiang Yu and Xing Hongyu, students who received the third-class scholarship of our school, missed the scholarship awarding ceremony at our opening ceremony because they were attending intensive training in the city. Now let us welcome Jiang Yu and Xing Hongyu to the stage to receive their scholarships with applause. Let us welcome Principal Sun to the stage to present the scholarships to the two of them! "
At this time, the backstage responsible for broadcasting gymnastics music every day also played the magnificent music to suit the occasion.
Xing Hongyu had always felt that he and Jiang Wu were destined to be together. Previously, he and Jiang Wu were the only two people from No. 1 Middle School who were in the market training team. Now, he and Jiang Wu were the only ones who went on stage to receive the scholarship. He couldn't help but secretly glance at Jiang Wu and ran up to the stage with a red face.
The so-called awarding platform was actually a flag-raising platform. On the rectangular high platform, there was a circular cement platform with three steps.
In order to motivate the students and encourage them to achieve good results in the competition, Director Wang continued to introduce: "In fact, not only do we have scholarships for good grades in school, but we also have scholarships for good grades in competitions. Regardless of whether we get good grades or not, as long as we enter the city competition, we will get rewards. Entering the provincial competition is even more of a reward. Principal Sun will present awards to Xing Hongyu and Jiang Qing."
Then Director Wang revealed that Xing Hongyu received a scholarship of 650 yuan and Jiang Qing received a scholarship of 2,150 yuan.
When the amount of the scholarship was revealed, the students exclaimed in unison.
At the beginning of the school year, when the first-class scholarship for the sophomore to senior year was 1,000 yuan, they thought it was a lot, but they didn’t expect Jiang Xi to get more than 2,000 yuan in scholarships.
2,000 yuan at that time was a lot!
Many freshmen in the first year of high school wanted to apply for the competition class. Didn’t they hear what Director Wang said? Regardless of whether they got the grades or not, as long as they entered the city competition, they would get a scholarship!
In her previous life, Jiang Xi only won a 150 yuan scholarship for outstanding students in the parallel class once in her senior year of high school. Apart from this time, she didn’t get any scholarships during her high school years, but she often won scholarships in college.
Even though her current royalties are enough to support her to buy a villa, she is still very happy to get so many scholarships.
He Xiaofang and Xu Xiuli were also very happy.
As soon as the break was over, He Xiaofang ran to Class 3 and spun around with Jiang Xi
in her arms: "Xi Xi, you are so awesome!" Liu Ping clapped her hands and cheered: "Treat! Treat! Treat!"
Jiang Xi was not stingy. At noon, he treated everyone in the class to a portion of braised pork, which made the students in Class 3 very happy.
After the division of arts and sciences, the current Class 3 is a reorganized Class 3. Many students in the original class were assigned to the arts class. Jiang Xi had just returned from the provincial competition, and she didn't know half of the students in the class. She originally thought that Jiang Xi's treat was only for the original Class 3 students in the class, but she didn't expect Jiang Xi to be so generous as to treat them all.
A serving of braised pork costs eight taels of food coupons. There are sixty students in the class, plus He Xiaofang, Wang Xia and other roommates who are now assigned to the liberal arts class. Jiang Xi spent more than fifty kilograms of food coupons on a dinner party.
Fifty kilograms of food coupons are enough for them to eat in the cafeteria for a month.
The students in the class who are not familiar with Jiang Xi did not expect that Jiang Xi would treat them to braised pork when he came back, which made them feel close to this unfamiliar classmate.
After Jiang Xi received the scholarship, she treated everyone to braised pork in red sauce, then carried her rice bowl and went straight to Grandpa Jiang’s shop. She proudly stuffed two red envelopes into Grandpa Jiang’s hands, like a proud little peacock, and said with her chin raised: “Grandpa, this is the scholarship the school gave me this year. I give it all to you!”
She exaggeratedly described today’s flag-raising ceremony to Grandpa Jiang: “We do this every week. There is a flag-raising ceremony only on Mondays, but the school specially held one today for me! I was awarded in front of many people, and it was Principal Sun who presented the award to me personally! Look, this is the certificate."
The award certificate of No. 1 Middle School is no longer the golden certificate of a middle school, but a certificate with a red seal on the outside. This is the certificate for her being named a city-level three-good student, and it was given to her today.
She opened the certificate of the city's three-good student and showed it to Grandpa Jiang happily. She pointed to the two red envelopes on Grandpa Jiang's legs and said proudly: "This is the first-class scholarship I got for getting the first place in my grade at school, 1,000 yuan. This is the 1,000 yuan I got for winning the first prize in the provincial competition on behalf of No. 1 Middle School. This is an additional 150 yuan for entering the city and provincial competitions. All of them are my scholarships. Isn't it amazing?"
She was like a child eager to be praised by her parents, sharing the honors she had won in school with Grandpa Jiang.
