Starting from you are my glory

"Want one?" He asked, and Teacher Lin had already handed over a cigarette.

Teacher Li did not refuse. Looking at the students entering the examination room, he lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled: "I really envy your school's student base."

"Then you come to my place." Teacher Lin lit one himself. "I will retire in a few years. You come here to make the transition, just in time to take over my class."

"Forget it." Teacher Li was silent for a while and said, "It's not necessary."

"It's okay, there is still time, please think about it more." It can be seen that this is not Teacher Lin's first solicitation, and it is okay to be rejected.

"How about this year's class?" Teacher Lin returned to the original topic, "Several other schools came before you. I heard that there are many good seeds."

"I'll just save the second class." Teacher Li finished his cigarette in a few puffs. "The main focus is still on the college entrance examination and the admission rate. If I hadn't been in the competition, I probably wouldn't have participated."

"For high school students, the college entrance examination is definitely the most important thing." Teacher Lin expressed understanding, "I heard that there is a strong person in your first year of high school, and the monthly test broke your school's record?"

"How about it? Are you interested in competition? Do you want to train me?"

"I just got in." Teacher Li looked at Teacher Lin and said, "His class teacher is much more eager than me and directly arranged to enter this year's competitive examination."

"How about the training performance?" Teacher Lin became interested, "Since it is directly recommended to take the exam, it must be of a certain level."

"I don't know." Teacher Li shook his head.

"You are a training class teacher, you don't know?" Looking at Teacher Li's expression that didn't seem to be fake, Teacher Lin still found it hard to believe.

"That child only came to the training class once. When he came back, he told his class teacher that he couldn't keep up with the pace, and he never went to the class again."

"Then you shouldn't take the exam!"

"I can't keep up at ordinary times. When I get excited at the exam site and feel fearful of difficulties later, I really can't adapt." Teacher Lin didn't understand.

"Probably because he has a strong heart." Teacher Li recalled the few meetings with Yu Tu and the rumors, "By the way, he participated in the 5000 meters in the last school sports meeting and broke the school record. , and was almost beaten by their class teacher."

"It's not simple." Teacher Lin extracted a lot of information from just a few sentences. "She should be a student with a strong will and a strong heart."

"Just watch." Teacher Li stopped talking, listened to the voice on the radio announcing the start of the exam, and turned his eyes faintly to the examination room, as if he could see the candidates inside.

"Go to the conference room." Teacher Lin patted him on the shoulder, "Teachers from other schools are there, let's chat together."

"Ah."

In the examination room, Yu Tu took his admission ticket and found his seat. He closed his eyes for a few minutes and then heard the notice that the exam was about to start. Then, with the invigilator moving around, the test papers for the first test of the mathematics competition were handed to his hands.

'good. ’ Yu Tu read through it roughly first, and the quality of the questions far exceeded the monthly exam, however.

But there is no difference.

Pick up paper and pen, the exam begins!

"Do you still want to bet this year?" In the conference room, a teacher from a participating school smiled and put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray, "I came prepared this year."

"You must bet!" A female teacher who was admiring the scenery by the window immediately responded: "I lost last year, I must win it back this year!"

"Make it work!"

"Don't hide! You must participate!"

The originally smoky conference room immediately turned into a competition venue. Unlike the students in the examination room, the teachers were comparing their students' rankings.

"That's still the old rule." The male teacher who proposed said: "First write down your estimate of the number of second-class and first-class provinces for your school on paper, sign your name, and then seal it in Lao Lin's, waiting for the results. When we come out and check the votes, the closest one is the winner of the first round.”

"Then after the Mathematics Association has determined the provincial first-class results, the school of the top-ranked student will be the winner of the second round."

"In the last round, it depends on which school has the most CMOs." Since the first time I bet on a math competition, this has been basically the routine, but the rewards and punishments have changed frequently.

CMO is China Mathematical Olympiad. In the mathematics competition, the top 400 in the country have the opportunity to be selected for reference, and then about 60 of the best will be selected to enter the national training team. In the end, only 6 of the best will stand out and enter the Chinese national team. , participating in the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO).

Therefore, the relevant incentive policies are very generous. Depending on the policies of various provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions, those who obtain the first class in the province can basically get extra points for the college entrance examination, qualifications for application to key universities in the province, etc. The second and third class in the province also have preferential admissions such as independent enrollment. policy.

It is to select the strong among the strong, the best among the best, and finally become famous internationally.

"Where's the bet?" It's all an old rule, and it's just a process if you repeat it. "What do you say about the bet this year?"

"The male teacher only needs a pack of cigarettes, and the female teacher only needs a lipstick. The prices are about the same. How about that?"

We are all teachers, and betting is just to liven up the atmosphere. Even if we lose all three rounds, it is only the price of three packs of cigarettes or three lipsticks, nothing.

"Then let's do this." Teacher Lin, as the landlord, arranged for teachers from the same school to go to the office to get pen and paper. "Write the prediction and sign it to me."

The teachers who got the paper and pen began to write as if they were holding the pen in their chests. Some of them laughed uncontrollably as they wrote, apparently feeling that they were stable.

Teacher Li looked at the paper and pen in his hand. Although he knew that he was a loser, it would be too disrespectful to write nothing, so he simply wrote "Exempt second class, one."

Then he quickly signed his name, folded it and handed it to Teacher Lin.

When Teacher Lin received the note, he would write the school name on the back to facilitate later inspection. When they were all collected, Teacher Lin got a small box from somewhere. It was made of iron, a bit like when he was a child. I put the notes in the pencil box one by one in front of everyone, then solemnly wrapped them with tape and put them away.

The conference room soon returned to its misty appearance. Teachers gathered together in twos and threes, chatting and waiting for the end of the test.

Yu Tu finished answering the last question and then looked at the time. There were still 10 minutes left before handing in the paper. He nodded with satisfaction. For a first-time contestant, this time was still acceptable.

After checking it again and again, and feeling that there was nothing wrong, Yu Tu pressed the test paper and continued to rest with his eyes closed.

"The exam is over. Candidates please sit down and wait for the invigilator to collect the papers!"

When the end time came, Yu Tu opened his eyes and looked calmly at the candidates who were still writing furiously. It seemed that it only took a little time to complete the exam. Unfortunately, they were all taken away by the invigilator. Some teachers turned back after finishing. When I went back, it turned out that the manuscript paper issued for the exam was not signed.

The withdrawal of signatures on manuscript papers is also to prevent candidates from cheating. I don’t know where this anti-cheating method originated, and I don’t know when it spread across the country. The only thing that makes Yu Tu troublesome is that when calculating a large amount of questions, he needs to raise his hand to signal the teacher. I need another piece of manuscript paper.

"It's over, I haven't finished writing yet!"

"Damn it, what's your answer to the fifth question?"

"Comrade! You have to walk the road ahead alone!"

"Go away, the second trial will begin soon!"

I didn't expect that in the examination room of the competition, I could see the scene after the monthly exam in school. Sure enough, top students are also divided into levels.

As for yourself? Oh, the tough life can no longer be explained!
