It's already early February.
The afternoon sun is not as scorching as in summer and autumn, and it feels very warm when it falls on the body.
Unfortunately, the winter wind shows its presence all the time, and suddenly finds an opportunity to sneak into the neck.
Qiong Linlin informed everyone early on that they could not leave after the last exam in the morning because the school would hold a graduation ceremony in the afternoon.
So Wei Lai and Qingting and other people in the class had no choice but to move chairs from the classroom in the afternoon and sit on the playground, waiting for the graduation ceremony to begin.
All the students from the first to third grade of Qinghe Junior High School arrived and filled up half of the playground.
Looking at so many classmates like him around him, Wei Lai wondered if the principal and others were holding this final graduation ceremony just for the sake of visual appeal.
A first-year junior high school student like him didn't think too much and just did whatever the teacher told him to do.
The students in the second and third grades were very smart. They secretly brought their cell phones with them and started playing with them when the teacher wasn't paying attention.
At first, Wei Lai felt that it was unnecessary. It was just the principal's speech, and it wouldn't hurt to listen for a while.
But as the principal gave them a long impromptu speech, before it was even half an hour old, he began to feel a little overwhelmed.
"Wang Zi, where are you planning to go during the winter vacation?" Wei Lai turned around and asked Wang Zi beside him. He had to divert his attention.
"I'm not going anywhere. I'm just playing at home. My mother promised my sister that she would buy her a laptop at the end of this semester. The computer at home now belongs to me alone." When Wang Zi mentioned the computer, his eyes were full of anticipation.
He has been coveting his sister's computer for a long time. Recently, he can hardly find an Internet cafe that he can enter. It is undoubtedly great news for him that his sister does not monopolize the computer at home.
"Um, what about you, Qiang Ming." Wei Lai turned his head and looked at Qiang Ming.
He is not very keen on computers. He has only used them a few times in computer classes at school, and those were all to teach some basic computer document operations. Wang Zi's passion for computers probably does not lie in this aspect, so they have no common topics.
Qiang Ming doesn't look like someone who particularly likes playing computer games, so maybe we can find common ground.
"As for me, I'll stay home for a few days and finish my winter vacation homework. Then, after my parents have their vacation, I'll go with them to visit my grandparents in the countryside."
"What are you playing?"
"Probably watching TV with my cousins, and occasionally going out to play with firecrackers or something like that." Qiang Ming thought about it, but couldn't put his finger on it. He felt that the winter vacation was quite fulfilling, but he couldn't remember what he did specifically.
His words aroused An Ruoyan's interest. "Do you have cow dung in your hometown?"
"Yes, yes, what's wrong?"
“So, do you fry cow dung?”
"Uh...we usually bomb ponds."
An Ruoyan's words made Wei Lai and Qiang Ming almost choke on their saliva. They didn't expect that An Ruoyan, who looked sunny and serious, would be keen on frying cow dung.
They haven't done things like free flying since they were eight years old.
"That's a pity. My grandparents don't have any oxen to work with anymore, and I want to reminisce about the feeling of my childhood." An Ruoyan looked regretful. Wei Lai and Qiang Ming could not understand him at all.
"Wei Lai, what do you do during the winter vacation?" Wang Zi began to be curious about Wei Lai's entertainment activities, or their entertainment activities.
"Well, I'm just like you guys, watching TV, eating, and setting off firecrackers."
Wei Lai thought for a moment and said to them embarrassedly.
Just now, the scene of him and Qingting together during the winter vacation emerged in his mind.
Suddenly throw one at his feet, or play checkers together, punish him by making him eat raisins that he doesn't like, and so on.
Rather than asking what to do during the winter vacation, it would be more accurate to say that he was always the one being played.
How could he say that?
Turning our attention back to the podium, the principal and the dean of studies had finished their speeches.
"Before we announce this semester's three-good students and outstanding classes, let's announce this first..."
In addition to the math competition, there are also youth electronic organ competitions and calligraphy and painting competitions in the city.
Wei Lai just found out that the school had sent students to participate in so many competitions.
I don’t know if there are any other competitions besides the one where the winners are announced. Maybe the school also sent other students to participate, but they didn’t win any awards, so they are not mentioned.
But these are not important to him, he is not very interested in these things.
When it was the math competition's turn, Qiong Linlin, who had already received the news, walked over to him and said, "I'm going to compete in the math competition."
"Wei Lai, when the director calls your name, just like at a sports meet, go directly to the podium and wait for him to tell you to go up, then you go up."
"Yes, I understand, teacher."
Wei Lai nodded in response, and when he saw Qiong Linlin walk towards the girls' side and talk to Qing Ting, he immediately felt relieved.
Calling Qingting again means that she also won a prize, so he has at least won half of the bet.
There were many winners in this math competition. The principal standing on the podium read out the awards starting with the third prize.
There were two people who won third prize. It was only then that Wei Lai realized that there seemed to be a range of winners in mathematics competitions.
You don’t have to be in the top three to win the award, as long as you reach a certain ranking, you can win the award.
But the second person to go up was a person, but it was not Qingting.
Wei Lai immediately realized that something was wrong.
"First Prize in Mathematics Competition, Qingting from Grade 7 (8)!"
“…”
On the podium, the principal was looking very happy, and his expression was the same as when the math teacher told him his grades.
