Chapter 37 Prize Award Ceremony
"The sun is shining brightly today. You should stay in your room all day. You should also pay attention to the balance between work and rest when studying."

"Why don't we go out for a run and get some fresh air."

In the morning, Xu Ying pushed the door open with a plate of fruit, put it next to the desk and persuaded Xu Yuan who was reading math materials.

Xu Yuan picked up a piece of apple and put it in his mouth, then raised his eyes and rolled his eyes at the other person.

"I don't know who said they wanted to run with me, but I couldn't get up in the morning."

During the winter vacation at home, his daily routine was basically the same as at school.

I'm too lazy to adjust my biological clock back and forth.

In the mornings, he would insist on going for a morning run on the road to the fields to ensure that he could maintain a good body while studying.

Xu Ying had just returned from vacation and vowed to run together, but she overslept the day before.

Then decisively choose to give up.

He could only say that he was all too familiar with this situation.

I've experienced so much since I was a child.

It is also worth mentioning that when he sat in the room for a long time, he would stretch his body and walk around the village intersection to show his face.

But ever since that day when Qinghua and Yan Jing's teacher staged a drama of snatching people in public in the village, the name Xu Yuan has been widely spread among the uncles and aunts in the surrounding villages and towns, so that now whenever he appears in the village, he is praised in various ways.

From height and appearance to academic performance and character, it can be said that there are no flaws.

Some even wanted to introduce him to someone.

In order to avoid getting lost in excessive praise, he had to go out as little as possible.

Stay in the room to study the information sent by Tang Shihong.

When Xu Ying heard her brother bring up this matter again, an obvious look of embarrassment suddenly appeared on her face.

Noticing that Xu Yuan seemed to be solving the problem on a piece of scratch paper, he thought of making up for his missed appointment in other ways.

When she got to this point, she immediately acted like an older sister and said, "If you have any questions, you can ask me."

"you sure?"

Xu Yuan cast a suspicious look.

"how……"

"You look down on me, your sister!" Xu Ying was unconvinced when she heard this: "I am also a sophomore after all, and I will be a teacher in the future."

Xu Yuan's mouth corners slightly raised in a smile, then he took the initiative to move aside to make room.

His finger casually rested on a math problem on the scratch paper.

"this one."

"Let me see how to solve it." Xu Ying picked up the draft paper and said confidently.

To be honest, as a liberal arts student, she didn't know much about math competitions, and only asked about it when her brother won a prize.

In her opinion, as a sophomore, she could understand the high school students' competition questions to some extent.

But as his eyes fell on it, the confident expression on his face instantly disappeared, and soon even his brows began to frown. He couldn't understand why high school mathematics would be more profound than undergraduate mathematics.

He was stunned for about ten seconds, then pretended to be calm and put the draft paper back.

"I think I heard my mother calling me, you do it first."

He lied calmly, opened the door and left quickly.

The whole action is as smooth as flowing water.

Xu Yuan looked at the figure that quickly disappeared from his sight, smiled secretly and continued to concentrate on studying his own information.

……

2003 1 Month 31 Day.

Friday.

New Year's Eve.

Without eating breakfast, Xu Yuan and his father put up Spring Festival couplets together. The New Year atmosphere was getting stronger.

Maybe it’s because of the happy event of Qinghua being admitted to the university, this year is more joyful and festive than previous years.

Xu Jianguo even bought a plate of large firecrackers to celebrate for his son.

On this day, basically no one will come to visit.

In the afternoon, every family places a long stick at the door according to tradition, which is not removed until the next morning when everyone greets each other.

Unlike the Spring Festival in previous lives which had almost no festive atmosphere, the whole family sat together in the main room at just seven o’clock in the evening.

Sitting in front of a large color TV, waiting for the Spring Festival Gala to start on time at 8 o'clock.

Speaking of this TCL color TV, Xu Jianguo hesitated for a long time before making up his mind to buy this big item for his home.

The Spring Festival Gala lasted for four hours. His parents and sister had already chosen to go to bed, but Xu Yuan watched it to the end with great interest.

After all, after experiencing those cliché programs in the previous life, it is so rare to have Teacher Zhao’s Spring Festival Gala.

In the second half of the night, Xu Yuan took a nap for three or four hours. Before five o'clock, his father woke him up to burn incense, light candles and set off firecrackers. He simply ate a few dumplings, and waited for his uncle and third uncle's families to arrive before going to the cemetery to burn paper together.

It was not until dawn that Xu Yuan and his cousins ​​began to pay New Year's greetings. In short, they visited the homes of the elders in the village one by one.

However, because of Xu Yuan, every time they went to a house, the other party seemed very happy and enthusiastic.

If your pockets aren't filled with melon seeds and candies, you won't be allowed to leave.

The two cousins, Xu Jiahao and Xu Yahui, also benefited from their cousin's help.

After the Chinese New Year, the next thing to do is visit relatives.

Since Xu Yuan went to high school in the past two years, he had not received any red envelopes, but this time he reaped a generous reward.

And they were all red tickets.

But her sister Xu Ying was very envious.

Although this was more of a congratulations to him for being admitted to Qinghua, he was still happy to receive the red envelope.

It's a pity for those cousins. It's hard not to feel stressed when they have such an outstanding cousin like him.

-

As the saying goes, the New Year lasts until the 15th day of the lunar year, but the grades of Guyuan No. 1 High School have already started returning to school as soon as the sixth grade begins.

Xu Yuan is the most positive in this regard.

There was also an episode in the middle. As soon as he arrived at school, he saw the provincial newspaper published in the newsstand. The most conspicuous part on the newspaper was the group photo taken when they returned from Star City.

Celebrating the provincial team's success in the mathematics finals.

According to the school’s previous tradition, teachers of each subject will give priority to discussing final exams after school starts.

As for the test results this time, there is not much change.

Xie Qisheng won first place in the class and is expected to be admitted to a key university. Class monitor Deng Yanna lagged behind the second place by a few points.

But if we talk about who deserves the most attention in the class, Yang Bin and Wang Yongjie can definitely rank first.

With the significant improvement in math scores, the total score is already heading towards the first-tier.

However, although Xu Yuan did not take the final exam, he still could not change his fate of having to explain the math test paper to the whole class. During the math class, as soon as Wang Qingtao entered the classroom, he sat in the back row and acted like a hands-off boss.

Helplessly, Xu Yuan had to take on the job of explaining the test papers temporarily.

But it must be said that compared to Wang Qingtao's humorous and relaxed approach when lecturing, everyone prefers Xu Yuan's style.

After all, listening to Xu Yuan’s explanation, you can really understand and master it.

A few days later, when all the students arrived, the principal Sun Xuehai finally announced that a student assembly would be held.

And specially invited city leaders to attend.

Because all students from all three grades including the repeater class were required to be present, the meeting was finally held on the school playground.

Xu Yuan was very happy when he learned about this. After all, the highlight of the conference was to award him a bonus personally. In addition, he also called home to inform them according to school regulations.
