Chapter 9 I found a treasure! Although Lu Shan's voice was not loud, everyone who wanted to delay handing in their papers for a few minutes heard it! Everyone is a little confused. Aren’t we doing the same test paper? Most people only complete the simple steps in the first and second questions, and don’t know how to write the rest! Lu Shan has done it all! "Just write it randomly! This question is not easier than the previous real questions." Someone whispered. Zou Yaogang wondered if he had heard it wrong! Lu Shan only finished the four-hour exam in the morning and thought he could pass? Unlikely! This set of test papers at the headquarters was prepared by the former CMO question-setting teachers and marking teachers. The test paper is slightly simpler than CMO, but only slightly simpler. Zou Yao had done this test paper a few days ago. With his current ability and level, he could not finish all the questions within eight hours in two sessions in one day. Even if he finished it, he would at best barely get a gold medal. Zou Yao had evaluated the results of the students he taught. It was very good if three of them scored above 20 points! As for scoring above 60 points, he dared not even think about it! So when Lu Shan said that he could get more than 20 points in just half a day's exam, Zou Yao didn't believe it! But Lu Shan was busy going back, so Zou Yao had no choice but to let Lu Shan go first and look at the test paper himself. If he passed, he would call Lu Shan's home phone.
The CMO test paper is very brain-teasing, and the marking is also very brain-teasing. It is not as simple as just looking at the numbers in the answer. What is more important is to see whether the students’ problem-solving ideas and methods are correct. At the CMO finals, which was attended by many top students, many people with strong thinking abilities gave answers and problem-solving ideas that were better than the standard answers. When Zou Yao returned to the office, the more he looked at Lu Shan's test paper, the more shocked he became! The handwriting on the test paper was elegant and neat, without a single ink mark. The most important thing is that the steps of solving the problem are perfect, detailed, smooth and pleasing to the eye. Three questions, all correct! Full score: 63 points! Zou Yao was shocked to find that he had met a genius student! What does 63 points mean! This means that if this set of test papers was the final questions for the CMO, Lu Shan would most likely win the gold medal! This is only half of the question! Suddenly, Zou Yao felt that the competition students he had worked so hard to teach were not interesting at all. At the same time, Zou Yao also had a problem that he really couldn't figure out. Zou Yao remembered that Su Ming, a student who came here for tutoring, had obtained the qualification to participate in the CMO competition from Jiangzhou No. 1 Middle School, and seemed to have ranked fifth in the city. In this way, Su Ming squeezed out Lu Shan and got the qualification to enter the CMO Winter Camp. But Zou Yao couldn't understand it! Judging from the two times he met Lu Shan, Lu Shan's math level was far higher than Su Ming's. I know this, and Jiangzhou No. 1 Middle School should also know it! Even if Lu Shan performed poorly in the math competition in September and tied with Su Ming for fifth place in the city, the school should have guaranteed Lu Shan admission to the winter camp instead of choosing Su Ming! This bargain made Zou Yao excited and nervous! After all, if someone suddenly picked up a piece of gold on the street, he would also be nervous! Zou Yao took out his cell phone and called Lu Shan's landline, but no one answered. He paced back and forth anxiously, thinking that someone must be home in the evening, so he would call again in the evening. After all, the name list would be submitted to the CMO Winter Camp Organizing Committee on Monday, and he was afraid that Jiangzhou No. 1 Middle School would regret it and submit Lu Shan again in the name of the school. Such students must go to winter camp and must be the seed players of the Blue Bird training institution! On the weekend, Lu Shan took the rare opportunity to relax at home and took the initiative to go to the vegetable market to help Lin Yan close her stall. He felt bad thinking about his parents working so hard every day to earn only a few dozen dollars.
As a person who has been reborn, who would be willing to let his parents work so hard? Moreover, his parents are still young and strong laborers. They waste their time selling vegetables and doing odd jobs, and their living conditions are so poor. Lu Shan can't bear it. Knowledge changes destiny, but first of all it must change the destiny of your family. Especially when he saw Lin Yan preparing to pick up the rotten vegetables left over from selling them and take them home to eat, Lu Shan couldn't accept it. "Mom, let's not throw away these rotten vegetable leaves." Lin Yan's decades-long habit of thriftiness cannot be changed. "I can eat the bad ones after picking them. It's a waste to throw them away." Lu Shan had no choice but to use his ultimate move: "Mold reproduces through spores. The things you see as clean are actually already contaminated with mold. I will get sick if I eat them, and the college entrance examination is coming soon." Sure enough, when Lin Yan heard Lu Shan’s scientific explanation, she became even more worried about Lu Shan’s health and froze. Then Lin Yan said, "What you eat is fresh. These dishes are for your father and I." When Lu Shan heard this, he felt uncomfortable. He didn't know whether he had misunderstood his mother or his mother had misunderstood him. "It's not good for your health to eat too much!" Lin Yan: "We're fine after eating!" Lu Shan could only sigh and think about secretly throwing away the rotten leaves later. Lin Yan and Lu Shan rode their bikes and hurried home to cook. Lu Dehai will have to go home to eat and then go to the night shift soon. The night shift is piecework-based, and making a spring costs three cents more than the day shift. In order to raise enough money for tuition at Lushan University, Lu Dehai basically worked from 1:00 . to 6:00 ., came back to eat and rest for a while, then went to work the night shift at 9:00 . and came back to sleep at 6:00 . the next day. But it’s only past three o’clock now, and Lu Dehai is back. Sitting on the worn-out trough sofa and smoking a pack of Tian Xia Xiu cigarettes that cost four yuan. There were already quite a few cigarette butts in the ashtray made from a rusty candy box. Seeing this, Lin Yan knew something was wrong with her husband, "Why did you come back so early today?" Lu Dehai wanted to say something, but when he saw Lu Shan, he lit another cigarette and said in a somewhat reproachful tone: "Son, go do your homework quickly. Now is the critical moment of the third year of high school. You still have to spend your time on studying." "Study first. I have something to ask you later." Lu Shan went back to the bedroom tactfully. He actually knew that his father was unemployed. Seeing her son return to the house, Lin Yan quickly asked, "Why did you come back so early today?" Lu Dehai did not answer the question first, but said: "Didn't the head teacher suggest that we find an English tutoring class for our child? I thought that if we go to a tutoring class outside of school, we have to pay, and if we ask his teacher for tutoring, we still have to pay." "Then why not ask Mr. Zhang, Lu Shan's English teacher, to tutor him. That way, the teacher will pay more attention to him." Lu Dehai took a puff of his cigarette anxiously and said, "I thought the teacher was not at work on the weekend, so I called Teacher Zhang. Teacher Zhang was very firm and said that she couldn't teach Lu Shan. What do you think is going on? Did my son make the teacher angry?" Lin Yan was also anxious. She had asked several training institutions about English tutoring, but many of them were unwilling to accept a student as poor as Lu Shan, saying that large concentrated classes would not have much effect. She could either find a private tutor, who charged more than 200 yuan per lesson.
Lin Yan couldn't afford this kind of tuition, so it was best to find the teacher. Lin Yan said, "Why are you calling the teacher? Isn't this a bad attitude? Let's buy some fruits and gifts and talk to Teacher Zhang." Lu Dehai nodded and said, "That's right. I'm anxious." "By the way!" Lin Yan asked, "Did you ask for leave from the factory today? Why are you back so early?" Lu Dehai was even more upset. "The spring factory's business was not good, so all the temporary workers were fired." "Ah!" Lin Yan was anxious. No matter what, Lu Dehai still had to earn eight or nine hundred yuan a month. If he worked overtime, he could earn a thousand yuan, which was much more than she earned from selling vegetables. The family expenses are not small now, the child's tuition, rent, and going to college next year... Just at this moment the home phone rang. I beg you to vote for me and read on!
