Chapter 43 Ningcheng No. 1 Middle School
Li Wenxi originally thought that she would be called to school the next day because she had a fight at school. She was ready to be scolded by Qin Lan.
Who knew that the teachers and parents seemed to be unaware of this. Didn't Li Wenting and the others complain?
Regardless of the facts, the change that Li Wenxi could feel was that the classmates in the class were more polite to her now, and no one would pick on her anymore.
Instead, Teacher Zhao called Li Wenxi to his office after class, "Li Wenxi, are you willing to participate in the junior high school math competition?"
Li Wenxi was stunned. She had never heard of this competition, but she immediately thought of the book that Teacher Zhao gave her, "Is it the type of questions in the book you gave me?"
Zhao Yiyi nodded quickly and said with a smile, "This competition has only become popular in the past two years. If you are willing to participate, I will help you sign up. If you do well, you may get extra points in the high school entrance examination."
Li Wenxi's eyes lit up when she heard this, and Zhao Yiyi hurriedly said, "But I'm not sure. I just heard about it. Don't tell anyone else for now."
Li Wenxi thought for a moment and said, "I'm willing to give it a try." Anyway, she really liked doing those questions.
Zhao Yiyi was very happy. "Then you finish this set of math competition questions this month, and I will take you to Ningcheng to participate in the provincial junior high school math competition on the second weekend of next month." Teacher Zhao handed her another set of math competition questions.
"Teacher, am I the only one going to participate?" Li Wenxi was surprised.
"Yes, there is only one qualifier for the junior high school group in our school. You got the first place in the class in math in the midterm exam, and you got full marks. I recommended you to the principal to participate in the competition." Teacher Zhao explained. There was another point she didn't say. The principal didn't really support participating in this kind of competition. The main reason was that he had never heard of it before, and he thought that junior high school students should concentrate on participating in the high school entrance examination.
They didn't send anyone to participate in the high school math competition. The principal reluctantly agreed to the junior high school group because of Zhao Yiyi's insistence. But the principal also said that if she didn't get any points in the exam this time, she would not participate in such competitions in the future.
Although Zhao Yiyi was a shy girl, she liked mathematics very much and firmly believed that participating in such competitions was very beneficial for students, which could broaden their horizons and help them experience the charm of mathematics earlier.
She had chosen the smart and studious Li Wenxi early on, but she didn't expect that Li Wenxi was more diligent and studious than she thought.
After thinking for a while, she said, "Come to my dormitory on weekends in the future, and I will explain the questions to you."
Li Wenxi naturally agreed with gratitude.
From then on, Li Wenxi spent two hours every day practicing competition questions, and every weekend she would go to Zhao Yiyi's dormitory with a collection of wrong questions. After Li Wenxi finished the test paper collection, he did the wrong questions several times. Finally, the second weekend of December arrived.

Ring, ring, ring.
Li Wenxi reached out to turn off the alarm on the table, got up from the warm quilt, and put on a light-colored cotton jacket that he made for himself some time ago. He drew the curtains and opened the window, and a gust of cold air hit him in the face, and he was instantly sober.
After going downstairs and practicing a set of movements, he felt warm all over, and Li Wenxi felt that he didn't need to wear a cotton jacket.
"Xiaoxi, you are going to take a boat ride soon. In fact, you don't need to get up early to practice today." Li Hongbin looked at Li Wenxi who was washing by the well. He began to feel distressed. Was he too strict with Xiaoxi?
"Dad, I feel uncomfortable if I don't practice for a day. And Teacher Zhao and I agreed to meet at the pier at 8 o'clock today, so we have just enough time." Li Wenxi put her hand into the well water and sighed comfortably, it was really warm. This well water is really good, cool in summer and warm in winter.
Li Hongbin was relieved after hearing this, and took out ten yuan from his pocket and handed it to Li Wenxi, "When you go to Ningcheng, buy whatever you want to eat, don't wrong yourself."
Li Wenxi raised her head and looked at her father, "Dad, you have already given me a lot of pocket money, which is enough. And Teacher Zhao said that the school will take care of it this time, so it doesn't cost money."
"You have to bring money with you when you go out to feel at ease. Just take the money that Dad gives you." Li Hongbin put the money directly in Li Wenxi's hand.
Although Li Hongbin didn't understand what competition Li Wenxi's math teacher took her to participate in, he felt that Xiaoxi must have good math grades, so the math teacher took her there, and it's always good to have more experience when you are young. So he supported it.
Qin Lan didn't support it. She heard from Li Wenting that Li Wenxi was particularly flattering the math teacher, which led to the math teacher taking her to participate in a useless competition. So she felt that Li Wenxi was not doing her job properly and not studying hard to participate in a messy competition. But Li Wenxi wanted to participate, so she didn't care.
The weather was very good that day, with clear skies, and they arrived in Ningcheng smoothly. After getting off the boat, they took a half-hour bus to the guesthouse. It was only ten o'clock at this time.
Teacher Zhao booked a room with two beds, which was just right for the two of them.
The two put their luggage away and prepared to go to the examination hall to check it out and have lunch.
Passing by the lobby, they found that the place that was empty just now was now full of people. Most of them looked like students and teachers.
They were probably here to take the math competition exam. There was also a car parked outside the door, which seemed to be specially used to pick up these people.
The atmosphere of the exam was immediately felt.
The guesthouse was very close to the examination site, Ningcheng No. 1 Middle School, and it only took ten minutes to walk there.
Ningcheng No. 1 Middle School is located in the southeast corner of Ninghu Lake, with looming mountains in the distance and beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains. Xiaoxi couldn't help but stare in amazement.
When he arrived at the gate of Ningcheng No.1 Middle School, Li Wenxi was even more shocked. He saw that the school gate was an antique archway gate, with two stone lions on the left and right of the gate. Looking inside, there was a stone staircase covered with tall trees. Looking inside, he could only vaguely see the shadows of several teaching buildings, but he could not see the whole picture.
If he hadn't seen the words Ningcheng No.1 Middle School hanging on the gate, Li Wenxi would have doubted whether this was a university.
"Are you here to take the exam tomorrow?" An old man at the security booth at the gate saw the two of them and asked.
"Yes, we want to take a look at the examination room first." Zhao Yiyi replied with a smile.
"You have to see your admission ticket before you can enter."
After hearing this, Li Wenxi hurriedly took out his admission ticket from his schoolbag and handed it to the old man.
"Okay, go in." The boss took a look and let me in.
