With a single glance from the principal, he said, "You must participate in this competition."
Zhao Xiaoyue: "I don't want to go!"
Everyone in the office now turned their attention to Zhao Xiaoyue.
This student was brought in by Hou Taotao, and the principal initially tried to save face for Hou Taotao.
He later found there was no "danger" and then let go.
Just as the principal was about to regain his authority, the homeroom teacher rushed forward.
“Principal, she will definitely attend. I will speak to her.”
The principal stormed off; students these days really don't respect their teachers.
"Lan Caihe, you go back first. Zhao Xiaoyue, you stay."
"Okay, teacher!"
Caihe is gone.
The school bell rang, and most of the teachers in the large office went to teach their classes.
The homeroom teacher led Zhao Xiaoyue to his office area.
He went straight to the point: "This competition is in Kyoto. If you place, you can be directly admitted to the university you want."
The homeroom teacher took a sip of water. "In addition, the prize money for the first place is 200,000 yuan, the prize money for the second place is 150,000 yuan, the prize money for the third place is 100,000 yuan, and so on down."
Upon hearing the prize money, Zhao Xiaoyue exclaimed, "My God, is it really that big?"
Why would she turn down money?
There was a reason why the homeroom teacher offered Zhao Xiaoyue such enticing words.
At the beginning of the summer semester, the homeroom teacher ran into Zhao Xiaoyan on her way to work. She was talking to a foreign boy.
Girls who are about to enter puberty have the lowest psychological defenses.
So the homeroom teacher followed behind the two without making a sound.
Zhao Xiaoyue: "Before leaving, my grandma gave me five hundred yuan. Take it out and use it first."
Zhao Zhe: "When I left, my grandma gave me six hundred yuan, enough for me to eat."
Zhao Xiaoyue: "He's still growing, he can't just eat plain rice every day."
Zhao Zhe: "Aren't you the same?"
Zhao Xiaoyue: "I eat something different every morning."
Zhao Zhe: "Steamed buns and pickled vegetables every morning, is this what you mean by 'different'?"
The homeroom teacher listened all the way, and the gist of it was that the two of them had limited living expenses, so they were cutting back on their own spending, but at the same time they wanted to give each other their living expenses.
It turns out that the foreign boy is Zhao Xiaoyue's younger brother. As for why they look different, a quick check of their records will tell you.
He then learned from Teacher Fan that Zhao Xiaoyue's father and Hou Taotao used to be coworkers.
They are still living under someone else's roof.
It has to be said that the homeroom teacher even imagined some melodramatic scenes.
Anyway, after appealing to her emotions and reasoning with her, and then offering her incentives, Zhao Xiaoyue agreed.
The homeroom teacher was satisfied, filled in Zhao's name, and handed it to the principal's office.
The competition is approaching winter break, and there's even more to do this year than last year.
Zhao Xiaoyue returned to her small apartment early that evening.
Zhao Zhe's programming competition will be rebroadcast on TV; this guy is quite popular at No. 2 Middle School now.
She's practically on par with Lan Caihe back then.
She turned on the TV, changed the channel, and started crunching away at a carrot.
Soaring and desolate...
The phone rang.
Zhao Xiaoyue glanced at the number and saw it was a call from Yanyang Village.
Zhao Xiaoyue answered immediately, "Hello, Mom!"
"They're at the inn tonight, I'm your grandmother!" The old lady's strong and powerful voice came through the receiver.
Zhao Xiaoyue burst into tears instantly, "Grandma, waaaaah..."
Your grandmother quickly asked, "What's wrong? Why are you crying? Who bullied you?"
The old lady thought long-distance phone calls were too expensive and also worried about disturbing her two children's studies, so she generally didn't make phone calls.
A while ago, Li Guilan and Zhao Guozhong were overjoyed to learn that Zhao Zhe was going to participate in a programming competition.
So they spent a huge sum of money to go to the scene to cheer for Zhao Zhe.
Grandma Li was busy running around all by herself; the two of them had just returned yesterday.
She heard she was going to be on TV, so she sat in front of the TV tonight to watch it.
Old Zhang, the guy at the phone booth, was used to it.
This guy's family is rolling in money, but he can't afford to install a telephone. He even told his granddaughter, who goes to school outside, that the telephone was installed at home.
I'm watching TV here again tonight. So, the government doesn't need to pay for this kind of thing?
To be honest, Old Zhang only needed one threatening glance from Old Lady Li to be obedient.
"Is the pressure of studying too much?" the old lady asked worriedly.
Zhao Xiaoyue took a breath. "No, I just miss home. I miss you and Mom and Dad."
The old lady was somewhat relieved. "Why don't we just have Uncle Pu bring you and Zhao Zhe back for the New Year this year? What's there to cry about?"
Zhao Xiaoyue really misses home and insists on going back this year.
"Okay, Grandma. This year, Zhao Zhe and I are going home for the Chinese New Year, and we'll eat lots of delicious food."
The old lady quickly agreed, "I know, I know, how could I forget the two of you?"
Zhao Xiaoyue grabbed a few tissues to wipe her tears. "Grandma, how are you and Mom doing?"
Grandma Li said, "Yes, your mother is in good health. A good mood naturally leads to good health."
Zhao Xiaoyue: "That's good!"
Your grandmother pointed to the TV screen, where the match was about to start, and asked, "Will you be able to watch Xiao Zhe's match on TV tonight?"
Zhao Xiaoyue looked at the host's introduction on TV and said, "I was kept behind by the teacher on the day of Xiao Zhe's competition, and I'm watching the replay today."
Then, Grandma Li and Zhao Xiaoyue had a heated discussion about the rebroadcast.
Zhao Zhe was initially at a disadvantage, but he performed better as the questions became more difficult.
