lure brother deep

At the beginning of December, the [-]th National Mathematical Olympiad for Junior High School Students was held in full swing.

Imperial High School strongly supports students to participate in competitions such as mathematics, English, and physics, let alone such national-level competitions.

Generally speaking, there will be primary elections in the school first, then the semi-finals in the city, and finally the national finals.However, the High School Attached to the Imperial City has five places for direct promotion, so they can directly skip the preliminaries in the school.All four places are given to the students with the best math scores in the third year of junior high school.The remaining one was given to Chu An, who was in class 19 of the second year of junior high school.

"Come here quickly, the meal is ready!"

At the dinner table, except for Yang Sheng, everyone else looked at the table full of unfamiliar dishes in a daze.

"What are you looking at! Stir-fried spinach with vermicelli in shrimp paste, tomato and sweet kidney bean salad, baked cauliflower with scallops, stir-fried choy sum with red pepper and bacon, porridge with wolfberry, pork liver and spinach, there are soups, vegetables and rice, you can use your chopsticks!" Yang Sheng said the name of the dish I have introduced them all.

Chu Qing weakly asked, "Is it a new dish that is popular recently? Why haven't I tried these dishes before?" His mother likes to make some new tricks when she has nothing to do, but the taste is often...unsatisfactory.

Yang Sheng said happily: "Isn't our Xiaoan going to participate in the competition? It takes a lot of brainpower to do so many difficult problems. I deliberately searched the Internet for dishes that can nourish the brain. Eat quickly, Xiaoan! Eat more tonics brain!"

Chu Qing picked up a piece of spinach with chopsticks and chewed it in his mouth.

"How?" Yang Sheng looked at him and asked.

Chu Qing stretched out his thumb and exclaimed: "This dish should only be found in the sky, it is rare to taste it in the world!"

Satisfied, Yang Sheng directly served him and Chu An a big bowl of food.

"..."

Taking advantage of the time when Yang Sheng turned to serve the meal, Chu Qing secretly said to Chu An: "My mother made these specially for you, and they are very, very nutritious! Don't let me down!" After finishing speaking, before Chu An could react When he came over, he stuffed the remaining half bowl of vegetable leaves into Chu An's bowl, then raised the empty bowl and ran to Yang Sheng and said, "Mom! I'm done eating, I'm going to wash the dishes!"

"Go!" Yang Sheng let him go like waving a mosquito.

"..." Chu An looked at Chu Qing's disappearing figure in the kitchen, and then at the rice bowl that was almost finished and piled up with great difficulty, his eyes were filled with resentment.

Chu An was going to the city to participate in the Mathematical Olympiad. Chu Qing was very happy, and so were the parents of the Chu family.However, Chu An himself was not happy.

"Brother, there are already a lot, you really don't need to knock any more!" Chu An couldn't help persuading, looking at the walnuts piled high on the paper towel.

"Okay, I will finish this last one, and my brother will stop knocking." Chu Qing held a small hammer in his right hand, and took out a large walnut from the red plastic bag with his left hand, and stood it on the plastic paved on the ground. On the cloth, "Bang!" The whole walnut cracked in response, and Chu Qing picked up the torn pieces of walnut.

Tut tut!He obviously knocked so many, why didn't the technique of opening walnuts improve by half?When it was knocked open, it all cracked into this miserable appearance.

Then, he took out the walnut kernels and piled them together with his shattered brothers and sisters.

"You're done!" Chu Qing patted the walnut residue on the clothes that were splashed on the walnuts just now.

Chu An looked at the large piece of plastic bag that was clearly deflated on the ground, and said to Chu Qing, "Brother, although Mom bought so many walnuts, it's not like you can handle them all at once!"

Chu Qing said indifferently: "It's okay, just eat slowly if you have so much! You have to do a whole set of Mathematical Olympiad questions, so you need to refresh your brain!"

"Hey, mom said that, brother, do you think so too? How can eating walnuts have any specific effect these days?" Chu An was very helpless.

Chu Qing scratched her head and said, "Although I also think that eating walnuts doesn't seem to have much effect, isn't there a saying!"

"what?"

"Quantitative change leads to qualitative change!" Chu Qing said solemnly.

Chu Qing "..." If eating walnuts really changes the quantity, it will lead to a qualitative change, brother, you are not afraid that he will directly become stupid in the process of the qualitative change!

"By the way, Xiao An, did you always do the Mathematical Olympiad questions in order to participate in the competition?" Chu Qing suddenly remembered the Mathematical Olympiad test paper that Chu An showed him, and asked.

"No," Chu An quickly denied, "The Mathematical Olympiad papers were given by the math teacher. He saw that I had finished all the questions in class, so he took a few sets of Mathematical Olympiad papers for me to do." In fact He didn't want to participate in any competitions at all, if he didn't hear that there would be bonuses for winning prizes in the city.

"Why did the teacher suddenly give the Olympiad questions to do?" Chu An said to himself, feeling as if he smelled a hint of conspiracy.

The semi-finals were held in the city center, and it took Chu An only one morning after the exam, and he and other participating students came back on the school bus.

Half a month later, when the results came down, almost all the students from the High School Attached to the Imperial City won the prize, but most of them won the third and second prizes. Chu An was the only one in the junior high school who won the first prize. According to the questions The first prize can only be won if the score is above [-] points, so Chu An has once again become famous in the entire Imperial High School.

Won the first prize in the rematch, which means that he has the qualifications to enter the national finals.And as long as you get a good ranking in the finals, it will be of great help to both the individual and the school.But Chu An didn't want to go.

In the office—

"What? You gave up participating in the final?" The math teacher suddenly stood up from the office chair and asked in amazement.Seeing the other two teachers in the office look over, he realized that he had lost his composure. He clenched his right hand and coughed at his mouth. He straightened his expression and said softly: "Chu An! Are you worried that you will not perform well in the finals? Give up? It’s okay, take it easy, the final is actually similar to the rematch, and the exam questions are in the same format, just face the challenge with a calm mind.” The teacher felt that the child must be anxious before the exam.

But Chu An said seriously: "Teacher, it's not that I'm worried about failing the exam, but I just don't want to participate in the competition all of a sudden!"

The math teacher's two thick black eyebrows twisted together like caterpillars, and asked, "Even if you suddenly don't want to participate, then you must have a reason, right?"

Chu An stopped talking.

The mathematics teacher actively did ideological work for him: "Chu An, you are still young and don't understand. The National Mathematical Olympiad for Junior High School Students is held every two years. If you miss it, you can only participate in the more difficult National Mathematical Olympiad for High School Students in the second year of high school." The competition is over, you see you have passed the semi-finals, and finally got the chance to enter the finals, how can you easily say that if you don't participate, you won't participate?"

The teacher on the other side of the desk also persuaded: "Mr. Lin is right, Li Ran in our class won the second prize this time and couldn't enter the finals. He has been depressed these days."

Like a stone, Chu An still said in a flat tone: "Teacher, I'm sorry, I still don't want to participate in the final." This is said to be calm, like saying that the weather is bad today and I don't want to go out.

The math teacher felt very anxious. As soon as he got anxious, conspiracy theories came out. He suddenly looked solemn and asked Chu An: "Did someone say something about you in class or at school? The teacher told you, don't give up just because of other people's words." Your own choice, you entered the finals based on your own strength, and you don’t care what other people say. Well, what Mr. Lu Xun said is good, go your own way and let others say it!"

"...Teacher, you think too much! This is my own decision, and it's none of other people's business." Chu An said.

"This competition has a high gold content. As long as you win the prize in the final, I won't say anything about your high school entrance examination." The teacher remembered that the high school entrance examination only passed the high school section of the school, paused, and continued: "It is important for your college entrance examination." Very helpful! When you enroll yourself in the college entrance examination, you will have an advantage over others, and you will get extra points."

"..." Chu An thought to himself, this math teacher should be able to teach Chinese, his skill is almost as good as that of the Chinese teacher, and there are so many reasonable and well-founded words all at once, so good at both arts and science!

Next, the math teacher said a lot more, but Chu An just kept silent.

Talking dryly, the teacher picked up the teacup and took a sip of the tea, feeling that he had exhausted all the good things to say. This kid seemed really determined, and he never thought this kid had such a stubborn temper before!

"Forget it, since you are so determined, the teacher can't force you, I will tell the school about it, you go back quickly!" The teacher decided not to persuade, and said regretfully: "Oh! Anyway, the top ten in the final The prize money is more than 2000 yuan!"

Chu An, who was about to leave, stopped suddenly when he heard this.

"What's wrong?" the teacher asked.

Chu An was quiet for a while, and his tone was still light: "Teacher, I was touched by the truth you just said, so I'd better participate!"

"..."

Do you think that the teacher's piercing eyes can't see it, you small fortune?The math teacher felt very tired. Sure enough, the child was moved when he saw so much money. If he had known it, he would have said this directly. He said so many sensible and emotional words for nothing!

This year's National Junior High School Mathematical Olympiad was held in Province H, which was a distance away from the Imperial City, so Chu An had to be accompanied by a math teacher and a secretary of the school.It will take three or four days for the round trip and the competition.

The day before departure, Yang Sheng packed Chu An's change of clothes and related daily necessities properly and put them in a small suitcase.

The small black leather suitcase was soon bulging, and Chu Qing asked strangely: "Mom, don't the hotels have toothpaste and toothbrushes?"

Yang Sheng glanced at him sideways, put the toothpaste and toothbrush in the middle of the box, and said: "What do you know, the things in the hotel are not clean, it's safer to take your own things with you. In the past, when traveling abroad, you need I also prepared to stay in a hotel like this, you brat, did you find out?"

"Oh!" Chu Qing realized.

Chu An looked at the packed luggage, but remained silent.

Chu Qing noticed it and thought that Chu An was nervous and anxious, so he touched his head and comforted him: "It's okay, don't worry, go to the exam, it doesn't matter if you don't get the prize, Xiao An will always be the smartest!" The zipper of the box was only half pulled by Yang Sheng. Chu Qing bent down and pulled the zipper to close all the gaps, and then closed the combination lock. He was satisfied. He shouted to Chu An: "Xiao An, the combination lock is your identity." The six digits on the back of the card, if you forget it when you arrive at the hotel, you can call your brother!"

Chu An didn't nod his head, but instead asked without thinking: "Brother, I'm going for three days! What should I do if I miss you?"

"..."

"Well, well, this is indeed a problem!" After being quiet for a while, Chu Qing reacted and touched his nose, then straightened up suddenly and pulled the suitcase to the door, then walked to the bookshelf and rummaged for a while.

When he came back, Chu Qing took the photo album, took a photo from it and put it in Chu An's palm, and said seriously: "Here, I'm not afraid of this problem now, here, Xiao An, this is the one that my brother thinks he is the most handsome." a photo!"

Chu An: "..." Is this the rhythm that makes him think about others?

At night, Chu An stared at the position where Chu Qing was lying on his back. In the pitch-black area, at most, he could see a raised human figure, but it did not prevent Chu An from watching intently. The outline of the face is blurred, and the right hand under the quilt is holding Chu Qing's left hand. As warm as before, Chu An is very lost in his heart. He will not see his idiot brother for three and a half days. !Alas, anyway, with my brother's rough nerves, I shouldn't miss him!

……

Chu An's first day away:

"Xiao An, this meatball is delicious. It seems that the cafeteria has a new cook. Do you want to eat it—" Chu Qing asked the people around him with the meatball in his hands, and then he saw Li Xiaopang looking at it with a Staring at him with mentally handicapped eyes.

Li Xiaopang's inner os: "Brother, your brain is so funny!"

The second day after Chuan left:

After school was over early, Chu Qing rushed to Mingzhi Building after class, and pushed open the door of Class 19, junior high school. The students in the classroom stopped packing their things and looked at him like a windy Senior boys.

"Chu An's brother", someone recognized him and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

On the third day of Chuan's departure:

Chu Qing pushed his bicycle and walked along the street, all kinds of loneliness and coldness, a torrent of resentment and depression stagnated near the fourth rib, with nowhere to vent.

Then, looking up, he saw a group of guys who made him even more upset.
