Chapter 16 Knowledge is wealth, it’s time to withdraw money

"That's a good point. You are the elite soldier trained by our school."

Wang Qingtao spoke up for his student without hesitation. While patting Xu Yuan on the shoulder, he did not forget to look at Zhang Yuhui in front of him.

The meaning is self-evident.

Zhang Yuhui was naturally quite unhappy when facing the mixed skills of teacher and student between Wang Qingtao and Xu Yuan.

He was a mathematics competition coach at a provincial key middle school, but he was actually teaching Chinese to high school students.

In front of his students.

However, due to his status and knowing that he was in the wrong, he couldn't get angry.

Finally, he glared at Xu Yuan fiercely and angrily led his group of students out of the hotel.

Anyway, in his opinion, the contestant selected by Guyuan No. 1 High School was just a runner-up and there was no need to take him seriously.

Wang Qingtao and Xu Yuan also regarded this incident as a minor episode and it did not bring any impact.

Who makes them confident enough?

After that, they put their belongings in the room and found a nearby restaurant to have lunch.

……

……

Familiarizing oneself with the examination room was not a big deal for Xu Yuan, but Wang Qingtao insisted, so he had to go there after dinner.

After finishing this matter, Xu Yuan set off for where his parents were.

That's right.

In the end he convinced Wang Qingtao.

Go there alone.

He had spent quite some time here after graduating with a doctorate in his previous life, so he could basically be said to be familiar with the place.

It might be faster if Wang Qingtao wasn't allowed to follow.

His parents mainly install water pipes in new houses in the provincial capital. The two of them only earn a thousand yuan a month. Sometimes they can't get new work and can only do odd jobs.

It was indeed not easy to raise my sister and him to become college students.

Xu Yuan remembered the neighborhood where his parents worked recently. He took the bus there, found out the specific floor, and went straight there.

When I entered the house that was being renovated, I immediately saw two familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar figures.

Xu Jianguo, a relatively tall father, was squatting on the ground, concentrating on splicing the water pipe joints, while Ms. Liang Yanli beside him was helping him.

As the figure in front of him gradually overlapped with his memory, Xu Yuan started to shout with a sour nose:
"dad."

"mom."

These two words are extremely simple, yet extremely heavy.

Xu Jianguo and Liang Yanli obviously never expected that their precious son would suddenly find here.

So when I heard the voice and turned around to see Xu Yuan, I was stunned for a few seconds before I came to my senses.

"Xiao Yuan, why are you here?"

Liang Yanli was the first to drop the tools in her hand and quickly walked to Xu Yuan and asked him with great concern.

Then Xu Jianguo became even more worried and asked, "Did something happen to you in school?"

When Xu Yuan saw that his parents still had no gray hair, there were only two words left in his mind.

very nice.

However, in order to avoid worrying the two elders, he quickly explained and told them that he would participate in the mathematics league tomorrow.

Because they had a similar experience last year, Xu Jianguo and Liang Yanli felt relieved.

Although they were a little confused as to why their son suddenly changed his mind and decided to participate in the competition, as long as it was related to his studies, they would definitely support him unconditionally, regardless of whether he could win an award in the league or not.

"I just came to see you today, but I don't have time to go to my sister's place. I have to go back to the hotel arranged by the organizer."

"The head teacher is still waiting for me."

Xu Yuan held his mother's hand and continued speaking, a happy smile on his face.

Upon hearing this, Ms. Liang Yanli complained a little. "Why are you here for the exam tomorrow? Your sister is in school and you don't need to worry about her."

"I'll take you back later. Don't let your teacher Wang worry." Xu Jianguo took over the conversation and added.

In the end, Xu Yuan stayed with his parents for half an hour before leaving reluctantly.

This is because of the repeated urging.

Originally, his father was worried about him going back alone and insisted on sending him off. After a long nagging, he finally gave up.

But when he left, he still had a few dozen more dollars in his pocket.

On the way back, Xu Yuan leaned on the bus seat, but his thoughts were far away.

He believes that he has no talent for business and has little interest in being the richest man. He just wants to make achievements in his favorite field of scientific research.

It is difficult to seize the opportunity if you lack the capital in your life again.

But he also has his own advantage, which is knowledge.

As the saying goes, knowledge is wealth.

Now it's time for him to withdraw the money.

If you participate in the high school mathematics league, enter the provincial team and win a national award, you will receive bonuses from your school, county and city.

In addition, if you become the top scorer in the college entrance examination, the bonus will be even more generous.

By then, he can use the bonuses to buy a house in the provincial capital, which will not only be convenient for his parents and sister, but will also provide a good guarantee when house prices go up in the future.

As for him.

He must be waiting for the government to allocate him a motorhome in the future, and maybe even find him a wife.

In my previous life, I was always busy with scientific research projects, and I didn't meet the right person, which led to my lifelong delay.

It has also become the biggest regret of my parents.

Now facing a brand new life, if he meets a good match, he doesn't mind getting married first and then starting a career.

"It seems that I have to improve my poor performance in certain subjects after the league is over. I want both the gold medal and the top scorer this time."

The thought stayed here, and Xu Yuan secretly made up his mind.

It just so happens that starting from next year, the college entrance examination time will be officially advanced from July to June every year, which will not cause any conflict with the Olympic Mathematics Competition.

He can participate in both.

When Xu Yuan returned to the hotel in the evening, he saw Wang Qingtao sitting in the lobby waiting.

It was obvious that the other party was very worried during his absence.

I hurried forward to say hello, and then I saw Wang Qingtao heaved a sigh of relief, and then blurted out calmly:

"You haven't had dinner yet, let me help you fill your stomach first."

Did not ask for details.

Hearing this, Xu Yuan smiled brightly and rubbed his stomach, saying, "I'm really a little hungry."

-

into the night.

The two went back to their room to rest early so that they could be in the best condition for tomorrow's league.

The next morning, Wang Qingtao sent Xu Yuan to the examination room on time. Although he believed in Xu Yuan's ability, he still couldn't help but give him patient instructions.

"Remember to keep your admission ticket safe and report any emergencies to the invigilator promptly."

"Although the other test is all high school knowledge, time is limited and you need to do the questions as soon as possible without delay. However, this should not be a problem for you."

"In short, just relax and treat it as a normal mock exam. Just perform at your normal level."

Xu Yuan listened to Wang Qingtao's words, and after taking the documents and other things needed for the exam, he did not forget to comfort him: "Don't worry, class teacher, the students will win the small league easily."

After saying this, he did not delay any longer and entered the examination room with other students participating in the league.

Looking at Xu Yuan's back until he completely disappeared from his sight, Wang Qingtao couldn't help but smile and murmured, "What a brat."
