As long as you study hard, you're a treasure!
For several days in a row, the entrance to Class 5-2 was always crowded with people after class, all coming to take a look at Liu Feng, Xu Zhi, and Wang Juan, these three little ones, like a crowd watching giant pandas.
The noise and bustle were so great that the three of them didn't even leave the classroom after class.
In contrast, the atmosphere in Class 5-1 was particularly quiet and heavy, with the students bearing unprecedented pressure.
Of the five contestants in the class, only one barely made it into the top thirty, and Liu Sheng, in particular, was at the bottom of the list, filled with disappointment and jealousy.
When Liu Sheng heard the news that Liu Feng had won first place in the county competition, he silently lowered his head, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
Why are they able to achieve such remarkable results while we lag so far behind?
Behind Class 5-2 are the hard-working figures of Teacher Li and Teacher Hu. Their dedicated teaching and meticulous guidance have finally brought about the students' excellent results.
At the school-wide commendation ceremony, the principal loudly announced the outstanding competition results to all teachers and students.
When the names of Liu Feng, Xu Zhi, Wang Juan, and others were read out one by one, the entire audience erupted in thunderous applause and cheers.
As a representative of Class 5-2, Ms. Li was invited to the stage to receive an award.
He was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes, and he was filled with emotion.
At that moment, his eyes welled up with tears of excitement, and his pride and gratitude were overflowing. He gazed affectionately at the familiar faces below the stage, his heart filled with pride and emotion.
"This achievement is the result of the unremitting efforts of every student. I am proud of you, and even more honored to have fought alongside you."
As Class 5-2's reputation spread, Teacher Li and Teacher Hu also became star teachers at the school.
Their teaching methods and experience have attracted numerous teachers from other schools to come and learn from them.
Whenever a teacher from afar visits, the students of Class 5-2 feel extremely proud, stand tall and listen attentively, and actively raise their hands to speak.
Even students who are usually shy or have poor grades stand up straight and listen attentively, not wanting to tarnish the class's honor in the slightest.
In this competition, Liu Feng, Xu Zhi, and Wang Juan almost swept the top three spots.
This earned Yanshan Primary School a good reputation among all primary schools in the county.
Liu Feng, in particular, has become a celebrity among everyone.
Liu Xiaoling, as Liu Feng's cousin, also greatly admires her younger brother's achievements.
Yu Jingya's gaze towards Liu Feng became more ardent, and Liu Xiaoqing in the back row stopped deliberately kicking his chair.
Wang Juan often shared freshly picked peaches and plums from her orchard with Liu Feng, and asked Liu Feng to tutor her in math. Their relationship grew stronger and stronger.
This is the season when peaches and plums ripen. The peaches are bright red and sweet, while the plums are sweet and sour, leaving a lingering aftertaste.
Occasionally, a few plums would be particularly sour, making Wang Juan squint her eyes and give a cute look.
Meanwhile, news of Liu Feng's award spread throughout the small village of Liucun.
His second uncle, eldest uncle, grandparents and other relatives rushed to his home. It turned out that Liu Xiaoling had told the family the good news that Liu Feng had won an award in the competition.
Liu Feng intended to discreetly hide the trophy and certificate, but his grandfather enthusiastically reached out and urged him with a smile, "Little Si, quickly bring your trophy and certificate over so Grandpa can have a good look at them."
"How did I suddenly become the fourth child? Grandpa, I have a name!" Liu Feng complained inwardly, thankfully he wasn't the third child.
In the main room of the Liu family, the eldest uncle, the second uncle, and others sat together, their faces filled with anticipation.
He Qunfang happily took out Liu Feng's schoolbag, carefully took out the trophies and certificates, and showed them to everyone one by one.
As she showed the certificate, she excitedly read aloud the text: "Liu Feng won first place in Chinese, first place in Mathematics, and first place in total score in the 1997 County Primary School Elite Competition. This award is hereby issued to encourage him."
After reading the certificate, He Qunfang took an envelope out of her bag and asked curiously, "What's this?"
Liu Feng explained, "Mom, this is a bonus, 600 yuan."
When He Qunfang pulled out six brand-new RMB bills from the envelope, her uncles, grandparents, and other relatives were even more shocked.
They never expected that Liu Feng would not only get first place but also receive such a generous prize.
Six hundred yuan was a considerable sum in the rural areas at that time, equivalent to several months of their hard-earned money.
Grandma walked over to Liu Feng, gently stroked his head, and said with emotion, "It's all because Grandma's eyesight is failing; I never knew our little fourth son was so promising!"
Old Man Liu nodded repeatedly in praise, saying, "Excellent! Our Liu family has finally produced a promising scholar!"
Second Uncle chimed in, "Little Fourth has truly brought honor to our Liu family!"
Soon, Liu Feng became a celebrity in the village again, and neighbors came to congratulate him.
When he walked down the street, his uncles and aunts would run into him and would all come up to him and praise him.
Amidst the congratulations, Liu Sheng's mother said with a hint of bitterness, "Sigh, my Liu Sheng also participated in the competition, but he didn't perform well."
