Chapter 150150 [Red Envelopes in This Chapter]

The TV in the store was inside, and it was impossible for Jiang's father to set up a stall at the door of the store, and he could not hear clearly, but the two-second picture flashing on the TV still made Jiang's father open his eyes wide. When he walked a few steps quickly towards the door of the store with his eyes wide open, the picture in the "News Broadcast" had already jumped over and started to broadcast the next news.

Jiang's father called Jiang's mother excitedly: "Ailian! Ailian! Come and see, isn't that our Xiaoxiao on TV just now!"

The business in the middle of the year is not as good as the end of the year. Jiang's father and Jiang's mother sold lunch boxes together again, not separately.

Jiang's mother looked up impatiently and rolled her eyes at Jiang's father: "I think you are crazy, you keep talking about her all day long. You love her so much, but I haven't seen her call you once." She glanced at the TV in the store: "This is CCTV's "News Network". Where did you see it?"

For some reason, Jiang's mother felt a little lonely.

She gave birth to three children. With a son and a daughter, it should be very lively, but throughout the year, none of her three children cared about her. Others had their children buy clothes and food for them during the New Year and honored their parents, but she had nothing.

Songzi hasn't come back for two years. I don't know if it's because... Thinking that her eldest son might have been arrested and imprisoned because of the crackdown last year and this year, Jiang's mother shed tears of heartache.

Besides, she couldn't think of why her eldest son didn't come home for two years and there was no news at all. She didn't dare to think the worst. Too many people were shot in the past two years. A few days ago, the newspaper reported that a total of 26,000 people were killed in this crackdown.

She was afraid that Jiang Song was among the 26,000 people, and she didn't dare to think about it at all.

Thinking of this, she looked eagerly at the train station. She had imagined countless times that one day her son would be standing in the crowd with a backpack on his back, a warm and cheerful smile on his face, and a tall figure. When he saw her, he would call her in surprise: "Mom! Why are you here?"

She and his father made a lot of money, and they would give it all to him in the future, build him a big house, and marry him off.

When Jiang's father saw Jiang's mother's expression, he knew that she was thinking about her son again. In

1997, because of the return of Hong Kong, the crackdown was more severe than last year, especially in Shenzhen, where many people were shot and imprisoned. Now there are still thieves in the train station, but the motorcycle gangs are basically extinct. Even if there are some who have not been arrested, they are all cautious and do not dare to come out and be the first to stand out at this critical juncture.

All the previous ones who stood out were shot.

Because there was no one to discuss it with, Jiang's father was not sure whether the person who flashed by on the TV just now was his daughter Jiang Xi. He planned to watch the replay of "News Network" tomorrow.

In front of the TV in Wucheng, many teachers were also watching "News Network" in front of the TV. This was a must-see program for them every night.

When they saw the camera sweeping over Jiang Wu holding the gold medal on TV, especially when it mentioned the good result of six gold medals and one perfect score, the picture of six gold medals was a group photo of the six contestants standing on the award podium with gold medals hanging around their necks. They were a little far away and were not familiar with each other. In fact, it was not possible to tell who was whose from such a fast camera. When it mentioned one perfect score, the camera gave Jiang Wu a two-second solo photo.

This competition had a total of six questions, each question was worth seven points, and the full score was 42 points. This year, as long as you scored more than 32 points, you will get a gold medal, more than 25 points will get a silver medal, and more than 15 points will get a bronze medal.

Jiang Wu is the only one who scored a perfect score this year.

The Flower Country also successfully entered the top three in the world this year.

Principal Sun and Director Zhang all saw this news, but unfortunately, this news was not considered big news among the many national events, and the broadcast time was short, with a total reporting time of only 20 seconds, of which there were 10 seconds of footage of the Foreign Ministry officials leading the team and the competition site.

They wanted to take a closer look, but the news had already passed.

But Director Zhang and Principal Sun and other teachers from No. 1 Middle School still saw Jiang Xi's face clearly, after all, she had a two-second high-definition face-to-face photo.

Principal Sun and Director Zhang were very happy.

Especially when they only saw Jiang Xi from their No. 1 Middle School in the list of participants, and did not see Song Peifeng from Wu Middle School, Director Zhang was so happy that he clapped his thigh and laughed. This time, their No. 1 Middle School was definitely better than Wu Middle School.

Director Wang and the principal of Wuzhong were also watching the "News Network". It was summer vacation, and the senior students had just graduated. The teachers were all out, but the freshmen had not yet entered school. Only the students who were going to be seniors in the second half of the year were taking make-up classes. At this time, basically every channel was broadcasting the "News Network", so no matter which school the teachers were from, they were all watching the "News Network".

Director Wang and his colleagues only realized that the IMO had ended when they saw Jiang Xi's name. Jiang Xi from the No. 1 Middle School next door had made it to the end of the winter camp, participated in international competitions, and even got a perfect score.

They tried their best to look for Song Peifeng on TV, but they couldn't find him.

Who would have thought that the little girl who showed her talent in the first joint entrance examination and was not even considered as their opponent would now stand at such a high level? When

Jiang Xi was competing, Song Peifeng and others who were candidates were watching the competition from the audience. There

were quite a few spectators, all of whom were talented mathematical elites from all over the world. Many of them were candidates from various countries like Song Peifeng, and many were students from famous universities around the world who came to watch the competition. There were also participants from the previous and previous sessions who came to Argentina to watch the competition.

Song Peifeng is indeed smart and talented, but he has learned a lot of things, and they are scattered. His main direction in the future is not scientific research and competition. In addition, he has also divided his attention to Jiang Wu. It is still very rare for him to have come this far and stand on the international stage, even if he has become a candidate.

He did not feel lost, but looked at Jiang Wu on the stage with a smile in his eyes.

Unconsciously, Jiang Wu returned to her calm and relaxed state. He found that the bigger and higher the stage she stood on, the more relaxed she was, and the better she performed.

Contrary to what the teachers at Wuzhong had guessed, that she would not perform well in large competitions, she was a typical competition player who performed better under greater pressure.

It's not that there were no students who were smarter and more talented than Jiang Xi, and some could even be called geniuses.

But some people, who were originally very talented and smart, could only perform at 80% or 90% in large competitions.

And some people, who originally had only 80% or 90% of their strength, could perform at 120% of their strength on such an international stage.

Jiang Xi was the latter.

Jiang Wu is definitely not the most gifted among the twelve people who came to Argentina this time. Even among the candidates, there are students who are more gifted and smarter than Jiang Wu. But Jiang Wu is very stable in every exam, without any mistakes.

For example, in the six questions of this exam, the best one among them only scored 38 points. Although the rest all won gold medals, their scores ranged from 36 to 32. There was also a contestant who scored 7 points in the first five questions, but only scored 1 point in the last and most critical question. If he could still perform stably in the last question, he would have scored two full marks.

On the contrary, Jiang Xi, whose talent was not so outstanding among the group, scored full marks on all six questions, becoming the only one in the Flower Planting Team to score full marks in this IMO competition.

Song Peifeng had been watching Jiang Xi on the stage from the audience, and when she came down from the competition, he applauded her and said to her, "Congratulations."

Jiang Xi also smiled and high-fived each team member.

Secretary Song of the County Committee was also watching the "News Network". Before the competition, he had received a call from his son and knew that he was only a substitute for this trip to Argentina, but Jiang Xi from Wucheng No. 1 Middle School entered the final selection and became a main team member.

Although his son was not a key player, Wucheng had a key player who entered international competitions. For Secretary Song, this was still a political achievement. After all, this was the best result Wucheng had ever had before he came to Wucheng, especially since Secretary Song saw that this girl got full marks.

If his son had not been admitted to Tsinghua University before, he would definitely go to No. 1 Middle School to meet this student. But since his son was there, it was difficult for him to come forward to commend him.

Secretary Song was a little disappointed that his son did not appear in the "News Network" this time.

Director Wang was also watching TV in the Academic Affairs Office. After watching TV, when Teacher Wang returned to the Academic Affairs Office after the evening self-study class, Director Wang poured water and said to Teacher Wang: "Teacher Wang, did you just watch the "News Network"? "

Now that they are in the second year of high school and are in the third year of high school, all the students in their class are in school. He just came back from the evening self-study class. How can he have time to watch the "News Network"?

Teacher Wang asked Director Wang: "Is it about the financial crisis?"

Since the return of Hong Kong, the "News Network" has been very lively every day. The Asian financial crisis first swept Thailand, and then began to spread to Malaysia, Singapore, Japan, South Korea, China and other places. The "News" broadcast it every day. At this time, Director Wang suddenly talked to him about the "News Network", and Teacher Wang thought that another country was affected by the financial crisis.

Unexpectedly, Director Wang smiled happily and shook his head and said, "It's Jiang Xiao from your class. Just now, the "News Broadcast" said that she won the gold medal with a full score in the IMO competition representing the country."

Director Wang's tone was calm, as if he mentioned casually, "Our country hasn't had a full score for several years, but this year there is a full score, and the rest of the people also won gold medals. By the way." Director Wang's bald and elegant face showed a deeper smile: "Our country ranked second in the world in the total score this time."

Director Wang felt in his heart that Jiang Xiao from their school played a key role in this world ranking, which immediately raised the country's ranking in this competition.

Teacher Wang was really a little surprised, and he smiled happily again. This kind of cheerful smile was completely different from his usual smile in class, which was like curling the corners of his lips and pretending to smile. His eyes and eyebrows were all smiling.

People in Jiangjia Village were also watching the "News Network". In fact, they didn't like watching the "News Network", but the number of channels that could be received in the village was limited. At this time, all the channels were broadcasting this program, so they turned on the TV, rested on the cool bed, and watched TV, waiting for the weather forecast that followed the "News Network". They had to wait until the weather forecast was finished before they could go to bed. During the double rush period, if the weather forecast predicted rain, they had to pay attention to harvesting the rice in advance to prevent the rice from sprouting after being soaked in water.

When they saw Jiang Gui, they suddenly opened their eyes wide in surprise and shouted: "Hey, hey, hey, isn't that the daughter of the big guy?"

"What big guy's daughter?"

"The daughter of the big guy is on CCTV's "News Network"!"

At this time, people like to visit each other's houses. Because it is hot and there is no air conditioning, they also like to move the TV out. The whole family will watch TV while lying on the cool bed on the high platform, or use the mop made of their own rags to mop the cement platform on the building, and then hang the clothes on the rooftop platform to cool off. When

one person shouts, people on the surrounding high platforms and terraces will soon hear it.

"Who is shouting what? What's on the News Broadcast?"

"It seems like someone is shouting that the daughter of the tall guy's family is on the News Broadcast."

Everyone couldn't sit still, and they all held large palm-leaf fans and gathered in the huge rice field in front of the blacksmith shop in the middle of the village, asking each other: "Did you see it?"

Those who didn't see it asked: "What did you see? I was taking a shower at home, and I heard a lot of noise outside. People were talking about something on the News Broadcast, so I came out to listen."

"The daughter of the tall guy's family is on the News Broadcast. It's said that she won a gold medal in Europe!"

The next day, the entire Linhe Brigade heard that Jiang Gui, who had been admitted to Beijing University in advance, won a gold medal in some international competition. I heard that she got a perfect score!

Rumors like this spread one after another, and later, not only the whole Wucheng, but also Wujiang City, had heard of the news.

Jiang Liu had become a legend in Wujiang City after the interview program, and now there was another legendary story. Not only the city TV station, but also the news department of the provincial TV station sent people to Beijing to interview Jiang Liu.

As soon as Jiang Xi and his team got off the plane, they were like heroes returning home. Many people came up to them holding flowers and gave them flowers. In front of the airport, each of them had a gold medal hanging around their necks and took a group photo with flowers in their hands. Many media reporters wanted to interview them, but they were stopped outside by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In the end, only CCTV and the provincial TV station reporters from the provinces where the six participating representatives were from were left to interview them.

This time, the six people participating in the competition came from six completely different provinces and cities. In addition to Wucheng No. 1 Middle School in Wujiang City where Jiang Xi was, there were the Affiliated Middle School of Guangdong Normal University where Wang Yong was, Honggang Middle School in Fubei Province, No. 1 Middle School in the provincial capital of Funan Province, and Shanghai Middle School.

All these provincial and municipal TV stations were interviewing students from their provinces and cities.

Jiang Xi was the only contestant from their province. For several years, no one from outside their province had ever participated in the

competition. Therefore, the reporter was very excited and asked her, "We learned before the interview that you had been admitted to Jingcheng University in advance when you were in the second year of high school, right?" Jiang Xi was calm and indifferent. She smiled and nodded and said, "Yes."

"Then in this IMO competition, you won the gold medal with a perfect score. How did you feel about it? Were you nervous during the competition?"

Jiang Xi also smiled and said, "Of course I was happy. During the competition..." She smiled and shook her head, and told the truth, "Not nervous."

The more important the competition, the clearer her mind became and the more clear her thinking became.

This kind of interview was not an exclusive interview and was completed at the airport.

It took more than an hour for them to be interviewed and take a group photo. The head coach and the team leader sent them to the dormitory of the previous training team. If they were willing to go home today, they could go home individually.

All twelve of them have been admitted by Tsinghua University and Peking University. Next, they can continue their studies in their original schools or enter the university in advance to audit classes. Among them, there are six senior high school students, five sophomores, and one freshman.

But the youngest one is not a freshman, but Jiang Gui.

Those who plan to return to their hometowns, the seniors will go directly to university in the second half of the year.

The twelve of them had been in a tense training state and had never gotten to know each other well. Several of their roommates had been eliminated in the exams and had to go back home. Everyone lived in a separate dormitory. Now that the competition was over, they finally had time to deepen their communication with each other and made an appointment to go to the cafeteria to eat together in the evening.

Song Peifeng was with Jiang Xi and asked her what she was going to do next.

The competition was stressful for others, but it was like a vacation for Jiang Xi. She had gotten over her previous depression and was in a very good mood. She exuded a cheerful and sunny aura. She smiled and said to Song Peifeng, "I'm going to Shanghai, how about you?" The summer

breeze blew his hair, revealing his bright and clear eyes. "It's just right. I'm also going from Shanghai to Wucheng."

"What's next? Will you continue to stay in Wucheng No. 1 High School to complete the remaining high school courses, or come to Peking University as an auditor in advance?"

In Wucheng, whether it is Wucheng High School or No. 1 High School, all courses have actually been completed in the second year of high school, and the third year of high school has officially entered the stage of comprehensive review. In other words, if they return to their respective high schools at this time, they will just follow everyone to cope with the review for the college entrance examination, and there will be no substantial improvement for them.

So Jiang Gui will definitely choose the latter.

The training team cannot stay for a long time. That night, the twelve people plus the head coach, two team leaders, and observers had a sumptuous dinner in the cafeteria. Everyone used drinks instead of wine to celebrate the good results achieved in this trip to Argentina, and agreed to meet again in Tsinghua University/Peking University High School later.

All twelve of them were accepted by these two schools. The head coach and the team leader were both professors from the Department of Mathematics at Beijing University.

After the reunion, it was time to say goodbye.

The next morning, except for the two students who lived closer to Beijing, the remaining ten people all left with backpacks and luggage.

Regardless of whether they were students who had already graduated from their third year of high school and chose to go home to see their parents or take a graduation trip, or those who were admitted in advance like those in their first and second years of high school chose to audit the university, or wanted to continue to stay in high school and systematically complete all the subsequent high school courses. It was only late July now, and there was still more than a month before the start of the university semester. During this period of more than a month, they could not all stay in Beijing.

Jiang Xi hadn't seen Grandpa for a long time, and she was eager to go home.

She and Song Peifeng flew to Shanghai together. When she arrived in Shanghai, Song Peifeng had to transfer to Wucheng.

She went straight to the store, and Grandpa Jiang was indeed in the store. When she saw Grandpa Jiang, she was like a happy little butterfly eager to show off, and hung the gold medal she won in front of Grandpa: "Ding ding ding ding!": "Grandpa, look at what this is!"

Grandpa Jiang smiled and raised his eyes, looking at the lively granddaughter, then carefully took the medal from her hand, and asked her with a smile: "What is this gold medal?"

"IMO gold medal!" Jiang Xi's eyes were full of the proud and complacent expression of a little rooster: "Grandpa, am I awesome!"

"Amazing, amazing! My eldest granddaughter is the best!" Grandpa Jiang looked at the gold medal over and over again, and even held it up to the sun to see if it was real gold. He said to Jiang Xi, "This is a great treasure. It should be placed in front of the ancestors' rank!"

Grandpa Jiang walked around the store for several times, but couldn't find a suitable box to put it in. He wanted to go back to Jiangjia Village and show off to the ancestors in the village ancestral hall.

Grandpa Jiang was full of bubbles of joy.

That night, the news that they returned home with glory was on the prime time news of various provincial and municipal TV stations.

The news programs on the provincial TV station have much more viewers than those on the local TV station. Now, not only Wucheng, but the whole province knows that among the people who will represent the country in the IMO competition, there is a student from our province.

Many teachers and principals of key high schools in the provincial capital are extremely jealous. Such a good seedling is not from their key high schools, but from a little-known county town. For them, it is also a slap in the face.

Other provinces are also reporting this matter.

Because of a student from Shanghai Middle School, the news program of Shanghai TV spent several tens of seconds interviewing this student from Shanghai Middle School and announced the names of six students. Finally, a photo of them holding a banner, flowers and gold medals was shown at the airport. The principal

of the school that accepted Jiang Bai and agreed to accept Jiang Xi's enrollment in his senior year of high school also watched the report. When he heard Jiang Xi's name, he felt it sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it.

Because the Shanghai TV station was mainly interviewing students from Shanghai Middle School, they only gave him a 30-second interview, and the group photo afterwards was less than three seconds long. The six people stood together, and their faces were very small, so their faces could not be seen clearly. The school leaders who had previously agreed to receive Jiang Gui, looking at the group photo of six students on TV, always felt that the girl looked a little familiar, but they saw countless students' faces at school every day, and they really couldn't remember where they had seen this girl before.

The next day, he saw a senior class teacher who was still taking extra classes at school. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he asked the teacher: "Last year, there was a student from another province who wanted to transfer his enrollment. Did he say he wanted to transfer to your class? What was the name of that... that student?"
