Chapter 15 Going to the League Venue [Seeking Collection]

All high schools in the county follow the same weekly pattern, with one day off every other month.

Today happens to be Saturday, so we can leave school after lunch as usual.

Xu Yuan's home is in a village in Xiaxia Town, Guyuan County, more than ten kilometers away from the county seat. In addition to taking the bus, he also has to walk for a while.

In addition, my parents work in the provincial capital all year round, and my only sister is a sophomore at the provincial normal university.

There was no one at home.

Although his uncle took good care of him, he was too embarrassed to go back and eat with him every time.

So unless there is something important, he usually only goes back once every two months.

Anyway, his parents have already entrusted his living expenses to his class teacher, so he just needs to go and collect it on time every month.

After thinking about it for a while, he replied, "I won't go back this month. Besides, there are only a few days left before the league starts."

"That's true. I believe you will succeed this time." Yang Bin reacted and gave his sincere wishes.

I have to say that the temptation of holidays is indeed amazing. Although there is still some time before the bell rings, everyone's attention is no longer on the textbooks.

Some people even started to organize their things.

Soon, the head teacher came over and gave instructions patiently. When the bell rang on time, they immediately rushed out in a hurry.

Because Xu Yuan chose to stay in school, he deliberately waited until there were fewer people behind him before leaving.

The cafeteria was closed for lunch, so he had to go out to improve his life.

……

"Where did the classmate go?"

"There are seats available on the bus, get on."

"We'll leave right away."

"Don't worry, pull another person."

As soon as he came out of the school gate, Xu Yuan heard noisy sounds coming from all directions.

Most of the buses carrying passengers are from county towns.

This scene also seemed very familiar to him, and he couldn't help but recall the fear he felt when he was dominated by the ticket seller in the past.

So I deliberately stayed far away from the bus station at the school gate, for fear of being pulled onto the bus for no reason.

-

Time is like a wild donkey, it runs without stopping.

Only Xu Yuan's weekend in the classroom passed quickly, and the following week seemed to be accelerated, and before he knew it, it was October.

This is also the month when the National High School Mathematics League officially begins.

2002 10 Month 11 Day.

Saturday.

In the morning, Xu Yuan and Wang Qingtao, with empty hands, stood under the comprehensive building, waiting for the principal to come and take them to the station.

Tomorrow is the start time of the league. This year's competition venue is provided by the No. 1 Middle School of Luyang City, the provincial capital.

They need to take a car there in advance and stay in the hotel arranged by the organizer.

Xu Yuan was very satisfied with his current state. He didn't need to study the materials an hour before the exam. In addition, all his documents were kept by Wang Qingtao, so he naturally came with nothing in his hands and looked relaxed.

If you don’t know, you might think we are going to travel to the provincial capital.

"Let's go."

After about two or three minutes, Sun Xuehai came out of the building, greeted the two people, and walked towards the two black Santanas next to them.

After the three of them got into the car, Sun Xuehai, who was in the driver's seat, suddenly turned around and said to Xu Yuan with concern:
"You don't need to feel too stressed about tomorrow's exam. Just try to perform at your usual level. The school will reimburse all related expenses."

In his heart, he certainly hoped that Xu Yuan would perform exceptionally well, after all, he had announced it in front of all the high schools in the city last month, but he was afraid that too much pressure would affect Xu Yuan's exams, so he could only show his concern in a conventional way. Xu Yuan could see that the principal was even more nervous than he was, but as a student he still nodded.

"I will try my best to do well in the exam."

Wang Qingtao, who was standing next to him, was confident and said with a smile on his face, "Principal, you can rest assured this time."

He has been paying attention to Xu Yuan's performance during this period, and he has obtained full marks in several mock tests.

And the speed of solving problems is amazingly fast.

With such strength as a foundation, Xu Yuan is no longer just a candidate for a national award. He will at least represent the country in next year's Olympic Mathematical Competition.

After hearing Wang Qingtao's words, Sun Xuehai felt relieved and didn't waste any more time.

He started the car and drove towards the county bus station.

It takes about three hours to drive from Guyuan County to the provincial capital by bus. The closer Xu Yuan gets to the provincial capital, the more complicated his emotions become. He looked out the window at the rapidly receding scenery outside and felt a little dazed.

In his previous life, he had worked at the doctoral mobile station here for a period of time and was familiar with many places.

More importantly, my parents and sister are also in this city.

Although they called the school during this time, they haven't seen each other since their rebirth.

In his memory, the appearance of his parents when they were young has long become blurred.

When the bus pulled into the provincial bus station and Xu Yuan and Wang Qingtao changed transportation to the designated hotel, it was already half past twelve.

"Let's complete the check-in formalities first, then I'll take you to dinner, and then you can get familiar with the examination room in the afternoon and there will be nothing to worry about."

Wang Qingtao, the hotel front desk clerk, handed his ID to the hotel staff and turned back to discuss the itinerary with Xu Yuan.

There was only half an afternoon left, and since my sister's place was far away, I definitely couldn't go. Thinking of this, Xu Yuan said in a deep voice: "Homeroom teacher, I want to go see my parents this afternoon."

"Then let's hurry up and familiarize ourselves with the examination room, and I'll accompany you there then." Wang Qingtao hesitated for a moment but finally agreed.

But Xu Yuan shook his head and said, "I can go by myself. I know the way well."

Under normal circumstances, as the team leader, Wang Qingtao must be responsible for the safety of the students.

But he also knew Xu Yuan's character.

So I had to change the subject: "Let's talk about this after we finish looking at the examination room."

The front desk staff quickly completed the check-in procedures, and the two of them walked towards the elevator to go upstairs.

When the elevator came down and the door opened, a group of students wearing the uniform of Luyang No. 1 Middle School came out, and in front of them stood a man about the same age as Wang Qingtao.

Such a familiar configuration, obviously they are all competitors participating in the league.

After all, compared to living in the dormitory during exams, it is definitely not as comfortable as staying in a hotel near the school.

What's more, most students in cities go to school on a day basis.

Xu Yuan naturally had no intention of greeting him, but while waiting for the elevator, he heard the man calling out Wang Qingtao's name.

"Huh~"

"Isn't this Mr. Wang from Guyuan County? Is there anyone from your school participating in the league this year?"

"Coach Zhang, I didn't expect that we would meet again." Wang Qingtao took a step forward and greeted him with a smile: "Although we can't compete with the provincial key middle schools in the five major subject competitions, we still have participants."

Listening to the conversation between the two, Xu Yuan suddenly remembered that it was Wang Qingtao who led the competition class to participate in the competition last year.

It is normal to know competition coaches from other schools.

"It's true that there's only one person missing, but it's not easy for you Guyuan to select him." Zhang Yuhui took a quick look at Xu Yuan and said to Wang Qingtao.

When Xu Yuan heard that he and his school were looked down upon, he didn't care too much and replied directly: "Coach Zhang, although I am not good at liberal arts, I also know that it is the quality of soldiers that matters, not the quantity."
