Chapter 67 The heroine’s cannon fodder sister (19)
Jiang Lai was not interested, but the math teacher soon added.
"If I can win some awards in international competitions, I might be able to be admitted to university."
"It's okay, teacher. I think my math scores still need to be improved."
The math teacher saw her thoughts and smiled happily.
"Work hard, maybe I can come back with a grand prize in two years."
There are about ten members in the interest group, all of whom are among the best in math in the class. Jiang Lai also saw Jiang Qu's name in the member list on the wall.
Well, the leader of the second group, first prize in the county mathematics competition.
The senior year of high school will soon have a screening exam. The main purpose of this exam is to screen out students who are qualified to take the college entrance examination.
If you fail the screening test, you will lose your qualification for the college entrance examination.
Therefore, there are no high school seniors in the group activities of these mathematics competitions. There are only a few high school sophomores and high school freshmen working on problems in a classroom after school. There will be a dedicated math teacher to explain the problems after finishing.
The selected questions were all real questions from previous Mathematical Olympiad competitions. One was done every day. Today was a fill-in-the-blank question. The teacher gave them twenty minutes. After the time was up, everyone turned in their answers.
Jiang Lai leaned on the table, and pages of paper were used up. Finally, at the 20-minute mark, when everyone had handed in their answers, Jiang Lai was the last one to hand the answer to the teacher.
When the tutor received each answer, he would glance at it calmly, then nodded and motioned for the students to go down.
When he caught a glimpse of the answer Jiang Lai handed over, he specifically looked up at her, then looked down at the answer, then frowned thoughtfully and asked.
"Have you ever done this question beforehand?"
"I have never done the original question, but I have done a similar question before. It is a little easier than this one, but it just means drawing two more auxiliary lines."
"Well, let's do this. Write down your problem-solving ideas on the blackboard. The classmate below will read it carefully and see how she solved it."
Jiang Lai took the chalk and started calculating step by step from the corner of the blackboard. By the time the final answer came out, half of the blackboard was covered with formulas.
The teacher nodded, his tone full of praise.
"Very good, very good. It's more detailed than the solution ideas in the reference answers! Your name is Jiang Lai, right? From now on, you will be the team leader of this column."
Jiang Lai nodded, and when he walked off the podium, he received looks of admiration and admiration from all directions.
The monitor is sitting next to her. He joined the mathematics interest group a month earlier than Jiang Lai. He only had a little idea for the question just now, but Jiang Lai was able to solve it in just twenty minutes. , and can also write down all the steps clearly and in detail.
"Jiang Lai, you are really amazing."
"Good luck, I have done similar questions before."
"That's because you are strong. I have done similar things before, but when I see them again I have no idea at all. You will be my team leader from now on. Can I ask you directly if I have any questions next time?"
Jiang Lai nodded.
The class monitor's math scores have always been the first in his age group. These two times Jiang Lai stole the limelight and he didn't have any ambition to compete. Instead, he humbly asked her for advice and lent her the exercise book he brought back from other places. Come to the river.
In this era, it is difficult to buy textbooks such as extracurricular tutoring. The book in the monitor's hand contains real mathematics questions from all over the world since the college entrance examination was resumed. Jiang Lai flipped through the set and found that there were many questions in it. I can't do it myself.
But the squad leader has already learned these in advance.
"When I was in junior high school, I had already finished studying the high school mathematics textbooks, so I did well in the exam because I was stupid. Unlike you, I relied entirely on my own talent."
Jiang Lai likes to play with people who speak nicely, and although the squad leader is not as smart as her, she has a good foundation.
So the two of them stayed after everyone finished class and studied a difficult problem in mathematics for the college entrance examination the year before last. It was knowledge learned in the first grade of high school, but there were many traps. Many people didn't answer it correctly back then.
By the time Jiang Lai figured out the answer, it was already dark outside.
Suddenly she thought of something and quickly packed her schoolbag.
"Today is Friday. I'm going home early. Goodbye."
"Ah...oh, see you next Monday."
The monitor also packed up his things and chased him out, calling Jiang Lai's name.
"Jiang Lai, this, I'll bring this back to you to see. I'm sorry to trouble you today."
As he spoke, the monitor handed Jiang Lai some of the key questions he usually compiled.
"My uncle is from the No. 3 Middle School in the city. This is the paper he usually gives me. I have summarized some wrong questions from it. You can take it back and read it."
Jiang Lai looked down and accepted it.
"Thank you, I'll bring it to you next Monday."
"Don't worry, you can give it to me after you finish reading it."
After saying goodbye to the squad leader, Jiang Laidian came to the carport.
There was no other way. Jiang Qiuhe had originally promised to take her, but Jiang Lai himself said that his classmates could give her a ride smoothly.
As a result, it was almost six o'clock now. Cheng Lie had gone somewhere long ago. There was no empty car in the carport. Seeing the sky getting darker and darker, Jiang Lai tugged at the corner of his clothes and put on his big hat. He lowered his head and walked towards the school gate.
The wind is particularly biting today. It's obviously only the end of November, but the weather feels like the twelfth lunar month of winter.
Although the cotton-covered clothes are thick, they are still not warm.
The winter in the south is the most difficult, especially for students like her who have to spend four or five hours commuting to school, it is simply a nightmare.
When I ride my bike home, my hands will freeze off along the way.
It was even worse when I walked back. The wind blew all over my face, except for my eyes, and all the other features were numb.
Just when Jiang Lai was thinking about what to do, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Why so slow?"
Jiang Lai's eyes lit up, he turned around quickly and raised his head with great effort to look at Cheng Lie in front of him.
The other person was wearing a black jacket and leather gloves, standing tall in the corner, with a faint light in his dark eyes.
Jiang Lai has never thought he was handsome like he does now.
Cheng Lie bent down and looked at the little girl with a red round face wrapped in a hat, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
"Next time it's so late, just walk back by yourself."
"I was wrong. I was careless in answering the questions."
"Well, this time it was because of study, so I can forgive it. Here, take it to eat on the way."
As he spoke, Cheng Lie threw something hot into Jiang Lai's arms. Jiang Lai reached out and opened the paper bag and took a look. The strong aroma of chestnuts hit her face, making her feel warm for a moment.
"Wow, is there anyone selling chestnuts on this street?" (End of Chapter)
