Mathematics Competition 106.106

  "Primary school math competition?" Tian Wei's eyes lit up.

  "Yes, divided into lower and upper grades, one person is selected from each school. I discussed with our principal that since you are in the lower grade group of our school, let's give it a try." Mr. Li asked with a smile, "The quota needs to be reported to the town this afternoon, so when I saw you weren't around this morning, I rushed to your home to ask you and also to ask your family if they are willing to participate in the competition?"

  "Hey, class advisor, is there a prize for this math competition?" Wu Yuguang was slightly surprised and quickly asked, while saying, "Last time, I heard that someone from the county town who got into a university in Beijing received a lot of scholarships from the city, county, and town!"

  "Then he got into Tsinghua University, which is the first in our county. Of course, there will be a scholarship. This is the pride of the whole city and even the whole province. But this math competition is different. If you win an award, there will be a certificate, which will be recorded on your academic record, and it will be very helpful for the child's future education."

  "That's to say there are no more scholarships? No money to do anything? Going for the exam will cost money too, and who knows how much the transportation fee to the city will be!" Wu Yuguang heard that there was no money, so she shook her head, but she didn't think about it either. Even if there were scholarships, they had nothing to do with her anyway.

  Li Shufen was just coming out of Sun Qin's place when she overheard the conversation about the math competition. As soon as she heard Wu Yugui's words, she became anxious and hastily put down the bowl in her hand, saying "Go! Why not go? If my daughter Yuanyuan were that capable and could become one of the top three in this county to compete in the city, we would spare no effort to send her there, even if it means selling our pots and pans!"

  "If we can get the top three in the county, there will be a prize certificate. I heard that at the municipal level, it's an honorary certificate. But don't worry, if we really go to the city for the competition, the county will cover the transportation costs." Director Li smiled with relief when he heard Tianyuan's mother's words, this is the kind of attitude a parent should have.

  "Thanks, Mom!" Tian Yuan smiled with her eyes closed, "I must participate in this competition! Don't worry, I will work hard to make our school proud!"

  "What's to thank for! Your mom gave birth to such an outstanding daughter like you, your mom is overjoyed and hasn't had time to calm down yet. Your dad doesn't know where he's gone to chat with people using his cane, if he knew about this, he would definitely be very happy too! Mom and Dad are proud of our family's Yuanyuan!" Li Shufen affectionately patted Tianyuan's shoulder, as parents, how could they not be delighted to see their daughter being favored by the teacher?

  "Yuan Yuan, listen to Grandpa, just go and don't worry about winning or not, it's good to see the world and don't put too much pressure on yourself. All the best students from every school are competing together, even if you don't win any prizes, it won't matter, you're still Grandpa's most favorite and clever granddaughter!" Tian Mao Chun's old face couldn't stop smiling, the more he looked at Tian Yuan, the more he felt that his beloved eldest grandchild was not a disappointment, she was sensible, smart and lovely.

  "I got it! But I'll try my best!" Tianyuan smiled, she even mastered the junior high school ones, how could the elementary school ones be difficult for her?

  This time, she must make her father and mother proud of her, and let those who care about her be happy for her!

  "It's settled then. I'll report your name to the town this afternoon, so you'd better get ready quickly. The competition is on Sunday in the town. Although the town isn't big, every village school will be sending people, and there won't be a small number of participants either. Do well, don't feel pressured, teacher believes in you!" Li, the class advisor, encouraged Tian Huan with a warm smile. "Mei Mei, let's go back to class together. From now on, no matter what happens, you can't just run back home like this, got it?"
