Chapter 71 This really can’t be taught! (Please vote!)
Although the classmate Yu Yongjun seemed to be familiar with both of them, he was still not used to staying in the same room with the teacher for too long.
After probably chatting with Qiao Yu for another seven or eight minutes, he suggested that Qiao Yu go with him to the third floor to find someone to play with.
After Qiao Yu found out that Yu Wei did not appear on the third floor yesterday, he politely refused.
Considering the potential economic benefits, he wouldn't mind observing his competitors.
As for playing...
What fun is there with a few kids of the same age? Not to mention they are all of the same gender.
After all, he came to Xiaozhou this time to participate in the competition, not to make friends. If you have that time, why not read a book in your room and recharge your batteries.
......
"Why don't you go down with that Yu Yongjun to get familiar with everyone?"
After the little fat man went out, Lan Jie couldn't help but ask.
As a teacher, the people you have the most contact with are students. Ninety-nine percent of students prefer to be with their peers and resist being alone with teachers.
He was really surprised that Qiao Yu didn't accept the other party's invitation.
Qiao Yu glanced at Lan Jie strangely: "Is there anything familiar? The competition will end tomorrow, and everyone will go back to their homes the day after tomorrow. There are 1.4 billion people in China. It doesn't matter whether we can meet again next time. It’s an unknown. And if that stinky guy doesn’t play with him, he has no chance of getting to know his direct competitors.”
Lan Jie was startled, but thinking about what the principal said to him that day, it made sense. .
This guy is indeed an indifferent person at heart.
“So you are working so hard for little Libaba’s bonus, right? Qiao Yu, there is a question I really want to know, that is, when will you stop putting the pursuit of money first? "
Ran Jie asked suddenly.
Although there is nothing wrong with wanting to make money, Lan Jie felt that he still needed to help Qiao Yu establish a correct view of money. Be able to look at things like money more objectively.
He didn't want Qiao Yu to miss some opportunities in the future because he was too greedy for money.
Qiao Yu gave Lan Jie a strange look, thought for a moment, and said, "Teacher Lan, when you were a child, no one advised your family to apply for subsistence allowances every day, right?"
Lan Jie wanted to say something. , but finally did not speak, just shook his head subconsciously.
Qiao Yu smiled and said: "That's it, our growth experiences are different. You may not be short of money all the time, just spend enough. But I am different. Money is very important to me and my mother. "It's the foundation of one's life."
"I don't mean that money is not important..." Lan Jie wanted to explain.
But was interrupted directly by Qiao Yu: "I understand, Teacher Lan. But if there is no money, the kind people downstairs may give our orphans and widows two steamed buns for every meal, but they will definitely not No one would even tolerate it, someone would serve us two bowls of fresh abalone every time, don’t you think?”
What Qiao Yu said in a joking tone shocked Lan Jie.
It doesn’t matter that a fifteen-year-old child has a talent for mathematics. A casual sentence can directly point to some of the purest and most essential things in society.
How are such children educated?
He is over thirty this year, and he can’t think of such words.
The room fell into silence.
Lan Jie tilted his head, and Qiao Xi's face appeared in his mind involuntarily. Could it be that this woman taught him?
The child is so young, let him know that these are not appropriate!
So how should we educate people?
The good teacher with a strong sense of responsibility fell into deep thought.
Qiao Yu wore earplugs and watched the video.
At this time, there is no use in answering questions. It is better to learn more knowledge and broaden your knowledge.
In this way, after Qiao Yu finished reading the knowledge points explained by a professor, he turned to look at the bed next to him and found that the good old man was still there in a daze, seeming to be a little depressed. He felt a little strange...
"Ahem, that Teacher Lan..."
"Huh?" Lan Jie, who had come back to his senses, turned to look at Qiao Yu.
“Don’t worry, in fact, I am not the kind of person who is particularly greedy for money! At least I have a bottom line, and I will definitely not do anything illegal or criminal. To be honest, I also go there specifically I have read the latest criminal code in the library, including the latest amendments, and I have a general understanding of the minefields.”
Qiao Yu tried to make the good old man put his heart back in his stomach, but hearing this made Lan Jie even more frightened.
He always felt that when guys like Qiao Yu studied a certain code of law, it would often promote the progress of relevant legislation. It would be okay if we just force the code to be revised, but the relevant workers have certain discretion in how to understand and interpret the law...
So he quickly said: "There is nothing wrong with making money. But don’t base it on the law. You can set higher standards for yourself and base it on morality.” , Haha..." Qiao Yu found an opportunity to emphasize it again, smiling happily.
However, seeing the serious expression on the good old man's face, Qiao Yu finally stopped laughing and became serious.
"Okay, I know sometimes some of my actions are excessive, but I can't help it, Teacher Lan. In fact, I'm not greedy for money, but people always need a sense of security, right? My mother's attention is easily distracted, and she can hardly work to make money. , we can't really live on the subsistence allowance, right?
So if I say when I will no longer put making money as the first priority, it will probably be when our savings can give me and me. That's when mom provides enough security." Qiao Yu replied seriously.
Being willing to answer this question represents his recognition of Lang Jie.
If someone else had asked him this question, Qiao Yu would have ignored it. If you are pushed too hard, the most you can say is, "It's none of your business."
The main reason is that Qiao Yu feels that pure good people in this world are so precious. Anyway, he has been exposed to so many people since he was a child, and there are not many such pure good people.
Most of the others are good-mouthed people, and the most praiseworthy contribution is nothing more than generosity to others.
But Lang Jie is different. He is really willing to give his share, and he does it very sincerely. He does not seek fame or profit, and he will not say that everywhere. kind.
He has to take care of even two stupid students who only had steamed buns for dinner. He even gave away two hundred yuan, not knowing that Lu Jia and Ma Yufei hadn't paid it back yet. Qiao Yu felt that Teacher Yilan probably wouldn't even remember this because of his temperament.
Just when he was thinking about whether to remind the good old man and help him recover some losses, Lan Jie suddenly said: "Stop looking at those things, why don't we chat."
So formal Qiao Yu felt a little uncomfortable with the request, and hesitated for a moment before asking: "What are we talking about?"
"Just talk about your happiest things, your family, and some of your thoughts. If you want, you can also talk about your father." Lang Jie said calmly and presumptuously.
To put it bluntly, now Lang Jie feels that all the problems lie with this man.
With a complete family, Qiao Yu would definitely not be like this. It made it impossible for him to criticize a child who had no father and had to support the family. Looking back, it seems that the overall lack of father's love and insecurity is normal.
"My biological father..."
Qiao Yu thought for a while, and then said casually: "He went abroad before I was born, and I haven't contacted him for so many years. I don’t know if he’s dead or not, and I don’t even know where to start talking about it. But my mother said that the guy’s grades were pretty good back then. He said he got 117 on the TOEFL and even applied for an international student scholarship from the school opposite.”< br>
Lan Jie was stunned. As expected, nothing is as good as genes.
Qiao Yu is fifteen years old this year, which means that his biological father went abroad probably around 2009. Although English was already popular at that time, most of the good foreign teachers were concentrated in big cities like Yanbei and Linhai. .
The TOEFL score is composed of 30 points each for reading, listening, speaking and writing. Being able to test 117 means that Qiao Yu's father's English ability is close to the level of a native speaker. If you put aside some cultural details and differences in understanding, it is no exaggeration to say that the English level is even higher than that of many undergraduates in native countries.
At least in reading literature and academic exchanges, it must be far beyond that of many local college students in English-speaking countries.
Lang Jie knows this because he really took the TOEFL test and scored only 87.
It was not because he wanted to go abroad, but when he was admitted to the graduate school of this school, it would be more advantageous if he had TOEFL or IELTS academic scores. This was directly written into the graduate admissions regulations of Shuangdan University.
He even remembered that the school’s requirement at that time was that the TOEFL score was no less than 75, or the IELTS academic score was no less than 6. He chose to take the TOEFL because the IELTS academic test was more difficult.
Ranjie simply couldn’t think of the kind of people who could achieve such an incredible TOEFL score of 117. Not to mention that according to Qiao Yu, his father should have just graduated from high school at that time, and he was still in a second-tier city like Star City.
Yes, although many people are now speculating on the concept of a new first-tier or quasi-first-tier city, in 2009, Star City was definitely not up to the standards of a first-tier city.
Father and son, both are so incredible!
By the way, that mother is not a fuel-efficient lamp either.
People who can learn several languages by themselves without being able to control their attention must not have a low IQ.
A family of three, all defying nature!
"So you actually hate him, right?" Suppressing the envy in his heart, Lan Jie asked again.
“I don’t feel too hateful, but it’s true that I really hope that he will be unlucky. It’s the kind of feeling that if I know that he is not doing well, I will be very happy. It’s a pity that I don’t know about him. Wherever he is, his life is not too bad. But for his extreme egoism, his life is probably not too bad.
Isn't this the way this world is? People who cannot afford to suffer often really don't suffer. It is true that in places where people are reasonable, they prefer reasonable people, but that is because reasonable people are often willing to make concessions. Good things for good people can only be an expectation for the future; being shameless and cashing in immediately means living in the present. ”
Qiao Yu also replied calmly.
This made Lan Jie a little surprised. He thought that the child would lose his temper when the topic of his father was brought up.
Obviously , he thought too much again.
Shaking his head slightly, Lan Jie simply followed Qiao Yu's words and said: "Look, if you put it this way, you don't like the ultimate egoist in your heart, so no matter what, you shouldn't be like him. of people, right? ”
Qiao Yu immediately retorted: "No, no, no, Teacher Lan, I am fundamentally different from him. I have a big mission on my shoulders, and I have to support my family! The family is the smallest unit of society. If the family is in turmoil, it will It will impair social stability.
So the bad things he did seriously undermined family stability and were targets that needed to be attacked by the dictatorship. My initial purpose was to ensure the stability of the family structure. Yes, this is making a contribution to society. This is what is said in the Taoist law class.
Actually, I also know that my biggest shortcoming at present is that I will be blinded by the interests in front of me, and I will seek small gains and forget the great righteousness. So in order to overcome this shortcoming, I will definitely work hard to make more money first. As long as I can make my family stable, I can overcome this shortcoming."
Lan Jie didn't want to argue with Qiao Yu at all.
Obviously it was sophistry, but he could still find legal basis for it, which made him, a high school mathematics teacher, speechless.
This guy even has a very clear understanding of his shortcomings and offers solutions. A severe sense of frustration came over me.
So not only can he not teach Qiao Yu anything in mathematics, he can’t even teach Qiao Yu anything...
It feels like he has been working for so many years after graduation, but he still has no one It’s amazing how thoroughly junior high school students study this society. How the hell are we talking about this?
It’s so weak.
After holding it in for a long time, Lan Jie said: "Forget it, you should just look at your things."
Qiao Yu asked in surprise: "No more chatting?"
Ran Jie He sighed in his heart and said: "Well, I'm tired, let's not talk anymore."
Qiao Yu was silent, and after a moment he comforted him: "It's okay, Teacher Lan, Don't belittle yourself in your heart. In fact, you are more suitable to teach through words and deeds. I think if I stay with you for a long time, the villain may become a good person... Well, it's not easy to run around with me when you are older. I'm tired. Just rest early."
Lan Jie glanced at Qiao Yu and shook his lips. For a moment, he was really moved and wanted to cry.
So this kid can see his purpose clearly, right?
This guy actually comforted him and praised him?
Suddenly, Lan Jie didn't worry about Qiao Yu at all. With this eloquence and ability, even if he didn't have any talent in mathematics, he would be able to succeed as a success tutor in the future!
Let him go, at least this kid can still score 57 points on the morality and rule of law exams!
"By the way, Teacher Lan, do you snore?" Qiao Yu suddenly asked again.
"Ah? This... shouldn't be fought, right?" Lang Jie replied uncertainly.
After living alone for a long time, he really doesn’t know whether he will snore after falling asleep.
"Forget it, I will go to bed early today and let's rest together. My grandpa used to snore when he slept. If he fell asleep first at home, I wouldn't be able to sleep." Qiao Yu explained sentence.
“Then, rest!”
……
The guest house did provide a considerate wake-up call service the next day.
However, Qiao Yu climbed out of bed early, jogged downstairs, returned to the room and took a shower, before meeting everyone for breakfast.
During breakfast, Qiao Yu discovered that there were quite a lot of middle school students invited to Xiaohu University to participate in the finals this time, more than twenty people.
Of course this does not mean that only more than 20 middle school students entered the finals this time.
After all, coming to the headquarters to participate in the finals is only an invitation, not mandatory.
If you have other commitments or it is inconvenient to come, you can take the exam at home.
It is nothing more than accepting strict online proctoring.
Breakfast is buffet style.
Seeing that Qiao Yu and Lan Jie had little interaction with the others, the enthusiastic Xiaopang sat over again.
“By the way, who is the Yu Wei you were talking about yesterday?”
As soon as Yu Yongjun sat down, Qiao Yu asked.
The stocky little fat man blinked, then looked around, finally settling on a corner diagonally opposite behind Qiao Yu.
"In the corner to your left, wear black-rimmed glasses and a white T-shirt, sit alone at a small table and eat."
Qiao Yu glanced back and found it quickly target.
As expected, he looked like a very serious guy, with a don't let strangers enter his face when he was eating.
"Did he come alone?" Qiao Yu asked.
"No, there are teachers taking them with me. Well, there are a few teachers gathering at the door to have dinner together. His teacher is also there. But I think Linhai is so close to Xiaozhou. I must have come alone." Yu Yongjun said with disdain.
It can be seen that this little fat man is really not interested in that Yu Wei.
Lan Jie ignored the child's mood and glanced at the table where several teachers were sitting. Well, there were no acquaintances there.
He has no problem with social terrorism.
However, they came a day earlier than him and had already communicated with each other. Naturally, they needed to be familiar with each other. Without a good opportunity, he was too lazy to force his way in.
Mainly I still feel a little guilty.
Compared with the teachers in these schools, Xingtie No. 1 Middle School is really not famous.
Every year, statistical agencies keep a clear count of the number of Qingbei students in all middle schools across the country. Most of the schools that can secure a place in the top 100 belong to absolutely prestigious schools.
Except for Xingtie No. 1 Middle School, the schools where the other teachers who led the team this time mostly fall into this category. Several of these schools are even consistently ranked in the top 20.
There are probably only the four famous schools in Star City that can compete with others.
Xingtie No. 1 Middle School is one of those schools that has never appeared on the list.
Of course, this is just a secondary reason.
The point is that these children are all taught by these teachers.
Qiao Yu is different. He is self-taught, so being able to reach the finals has little to do with him. He is purely a temporary guardian.
Everyone’s positioning is different, so there’s nothing to talk about.
It’s not as interesting as listening to the students around you chatting.
......
"Oh, I think he does seem to be quite capable. I guess he is bound to win the gold medal." Qiao Yu said casually.
Who knew that these ordinary words made the fat guy on the opposite side stunned. He hesitated for a while and said: "Actually, that Yu Wei really didn't say that he must win a gold medal or anything, he just said that he hopes you will too. Just choose the number theory track and beat you. If he didn’t say it, we can’t rely on others to be honest, right?”
Yu Yongjun's words made Qiao Yu react immediately, and he opened his mouth and said: "No, that...oh..."
As soon as he said these few words, Qiao Yu immediately realized that something was wrong.
Emotions These little brats didn’t even think about winning medals when they came to the finals, right?
Yesterday he completely lost his mind.
But then again, there are more than 800 people entering the finals this time.
And most of them are students from major prestigious universities, and they are a mixed bag, maybe even have PhDs or something.
It is indeed outrageous for a group of junior high school students to set their goal on gold medals.
After all, these peers are different from him, and there is no reason why they must win the gold medal.
So Qiao Yu opened his mouth and started laughing: "I was just joking, are you serious?"
Yu Yongjun scratched his head and was happy: "That's all. Our teacher Qu told me that he was just here to see the world, and there was no need for any psychological pressure. As long as I could get one or two questions right in the finals, it would be a victory. < br>
Besides, in previous years, we middle school students have never won medals in the end! Not to mention a gold medal! Those are usually monopolized by prestigious schools such as Yanbei University. If we can win an excellence award, we can brag about it for a whole year. ”
As expected, all of them have no ambitions...
Qiao Yu glanced sideways at Lan Jie beside him.
I found that although his teacher seemed motionless, However, when he was eating Xiaolongbao, the corners of his mouth were twitching in unison. He felt that his performance just now was very bad, so he said grandly: "You can't say that. A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. He still has a dream." some. What if we perform well this year and the problem will be solved at the plenary session? "
"No, boss, don't you know it yet? The great professors of thesis have said that the difficulty of the final test questions they designed is directly comparable to the world's top doctoral qualification examinations for mathematics majors. Are we little Karami going to risk our lives?
If we really have this level, then we can directly apply for Ph.D.s in mathematics from Harvard, Massachusetts, or Princeton! In fact, I think that organizing us all together to take the exam is to allow those of us of the same age group to compete together. "
Yu Yongjun explained patiently, and looked specifically at Lan Jie, who was sitting opposite Qiao Yu and said nothing.
The look in his eyes seemed to be complaining that the teacher did not treat such a person like this. Important information to tell students
“It won’t happen, it won’t happen, just try your best. Eat quickly, don't wait and it will affect the competition. "Qiao Yu decided to end the chat.
To be honest, Qiao Yu is very confident now.
No matter how difficult the questions in the competition are, they can't be more difficult than the equation problem he solved, right?
If they were all questions of that difficulty and only given eight hours, he would have given up!
However, what Qiao Yu never expected was that Professor Xue, who asked the question in the forum, was one of the specially invited experts on the judging panel for this competition, and was also having breakfast in this building at this time. , it’s just that they are not on the same level as them.
After eating, some people went back to their rooms to take a short rest, but most of them were waiting in the lobby of the guest house.
At 8:30, the staff gathered everyone on time and then went to the examination location together.
After explaining the exam rules again, everyone was assigned a computer for their own exam. What satisfied Qiao Yu most was that all locations were partitioned to ensure that the exam process would not be affected in any way.
Perfect!
