Chapter 101: Juvenile A (Part 2)
...
As time goes by, the primary school group question-and-answer session comes to an end, and the host decides to hand over the last opportunity to ask questions to parents.
As soon as these words were said, the students and parents raised their hands enthusiastically. Two ladies seemed to have seen the rules of the host choosing the questioner, and even stood up and raised their hands. This was obviously a violation of regulations. One of them was located on the far left of the back row and the other was located in the middle of the left row exam.
The two people who stood up at the same time made it difficult for the host to make a choice, so they simply handed it to a beautiful woman who was sitting upright and raised her hands in a normal manner. Unexpectedly, the woman standing in the middle bent down, crossed her upper body and reached out to snatch the microphone.
The host whose microphone was stolen was stunned. Fortunately, the reaction was quite fresh and quick, so he immediately said something smooth.
"It seems that this Q&A is very helpful to everyone. This mother is so active. What questions do you want to ask for?!"
But facing a fair and fair hand that another beautiful woman next to her had just reached over and had not had time to take it back, the host felt both annoyed and embarrassed. He was the one who handed out the microphone, he was the one who didn't hold the microphone firmly, and he was the one who couldn't take it back. He looked so cowardly in front of others.
The microphone was robbed from time to time before, but it never angered him like this time. However, the host's qualities made him unable to even fight back in words, so he could only let her turn the microphone to her mouth to ask questions.
"I want to ask Rimu, how old are you this year?"
The same woman who snatched the microphone was a temperamental woman, probably in her thirties, with butterfly-shaped silver earrings on her earlobes, and there was no other decoration. The clothes might have been carefully selected to attend the ceremony, so they looked very decent and had the temperament of a foreign female congressman.
However, the tone of her questioning was not so much about asking for advice, but also about being rude.
...She did not ask about learning questions, but went straight to her age.
Everyone noticed something strange, and then the thing turned into a question. Why did she ask this?
"Auntie, I'm ten years old this year."
The question turned into doubts in Li Mu. He suddenly remembered Grandma Li's initial instructions, and he claimed to be ten years old no matter when he was.
"I'm asking about your actual age! Accurate age!" She acted like a scrutiny and stared at the Limu on the stage.
——What is her intention...?
"Auntie, I'm ten years old this year." Limu quickly found a way to divert her gaze. Her aggressive attitude was really unbearable. "Auntie has not had much time to answer questions. If you don't have academic questions, please give the microphone to the aunt next to you. She seems to have important questions to ask just now."
Her behavior of snatching the microphone just now was what everyone saw, and it seemed like a woman who wanted to find fault with others. Limu didn't want her to continue holding the microphone anyway.
"Yes, if you have no other questions, please return the microphone to me." The host finally confirmed that she was not eager to ask for questions but came to disturb the public.
No matter she has any legitimate reasons, maintaining order in the awards ceremony until the end of the awards ceremony is the important responsibility of the host, and she cannot tolerate going around in the venue. The host reached out to her, but she did not take the initiative to return the microphone. She was forced to ask Rimu directly.
"I dare not say it, right? I'm not over ten years old, right? I've been very strange from the beginning-" She made her own remarks confidently, and brought all the questions out of the table in an instant.
"Why are you so young when you stand with others? At most, you only pass the age of free admission. Tell me, are you seven or eight years old?
"It's useless to lie. You can tell the organizing committee about this kind of thing. Is there something wrong with the organizing committee? No wonder my son, who is so smart, has only won the second prize..."
Limu looked at her silently, looking thoughtful, and it was not until she told her the trigger that she suddenly realized.
——The reason is that her son did not appear on the list read out by the first prize.
Rimu moved his lips slightly, and finally stepped off the podium and walked silently to the side of the stage. Debating with others on the stage can only make things worse, but in fact he knew he was not right.
The primary school competition group stipulates that it is 10 to 13 years old. Participants can register for the 10th birthday, or they can register the day before their 13th birthday. Even if they grow to 13.5 years old in the next six months of the exam, it doesn’t matter. After all, as long as they are still at the legal age when registering.
However, Limu did not meet the minimum registration age standard at this time. He participated in the primary school group at the age of 10 to 13, junior high school group at the age of 13 to 16, and high school group at the age of 16 to 19. Usually, others would like to press the line and report the lower group, but Limu could not register any further. Can there be a child group?
It doesn't matter if he takes the 10-year-old exam at the age of 9. He used to register for the third grade. In order to charge more registration fees, the organizing committee secretly acquiesced, and no one expects a child who is young and three years old to pass the junior year's exam.
However, there is such a person here. He won the championship with his weak knowledge reserves in the third grade of elementary school and also achieved full marks! At this moment, Limu stood at the top of the pyramid, standing in such a striking place in front of the stage. Once he became a celebrity, any mistake in the past would become a fatal injury.
——What's that saying... Don't pretend to be striking, pretend to be striking and being struck by lightning.
Limu shook her head and laughed at herself. It was because she was not keeping her low profile, so she should have an excuse for a stomachache to avoid going to the stage. Now she can only hope that the organizing committee will not cancel her qualification for winning.
As for the woman's accusations, it was actually natural. Rimu herself could understand her feelings. From a certain point of view, she could be said to have violated the rules by cheating.
Children participating in the Mathematical Olympiad have basically destroyed their playful nature.
Looking back on my elementary school years, I would play with my friends in the corridor when the break time was short; if the teacher didn't go to the hall, I would play "smashing waves" (a kind of dodge ball that is a furry ball); if I was free to play "hide and seek" and "catching ghosts". If I could not get more than three playmates, I could only play "playing glass beads", and "shooting cards" was also a fun game at that time.
These games...the students present may not even have played one of them.
Let’s not talk about talented students and poor students. Those students who have no learning ability and are still financially a good family have been studying Olympiad since the second grade of elementary school. Regardless of wind or rain, parents will send their children to study. Both parents and children work hard, and the children can enter the national finals, so parents are naturally very happy.
——I finally reached the finals in the sixth grade, but I was won by a student under ten years old.
Such a contrast will inevitably disappoint the parents of participating students.
Limu remembers that Guan Siying's mother was such a parent when she was Guan Discipline Inspection Commission. That was already the case when Xiaoliu was preparing to graduate. At that time, various Olympiad mathematics was in full swing. There was a small invitational tournament called "Into the Olympiad Kingdom", which was incomparable to the CMO National Competition.
It was such a small event that impressed Guan Siying...
At that time, Guan Siying passed the preliminary round and was sent to the entrance of the test site on the day of the final, but Guan Siying could not find the entry certificate. Her mother's pleading with the test site staff was invalid, and Guan Siying finally lost the opportunity to the final. Because the admission ticket was held by Guan Siying, she was always afraid that her mother thought it was because she didn't want to take the exam, so she deliberately got it off.
That day, her mother really stood outside the test site for an hour and ignored her. Now she was standing outside the test site for an hour. She was really deprived of her parents of being angry with her daughter in this form of indifference.
However, Guan Siying also felt her mother's thoughts of strongly looking forward to her daughter entering the finals.
After the three-day holiday on New Year's Day, the Commission for Discipline Inspection did not rest much - just because she accidentally got off her Olympiad Mathematics Certificate a week ago and missed the final. In order to appease her "heartbroken" mother, she did not go anywhere on New Year's Day three days, so she lay on her desk to do Olympiad questions just to "apologize" to her mother.
——Mothers and children both lost their normal state before the heavy pressure of going to school, and they changed from normal to abnormal.
After helping the woman make excuses, Rimu pursed her lips with a spirit, and relaxed her expression as if she had untied some knot.
Muzi on the stage also walked out of the podium and followed Limu to leave the stage.
Just when Limu wanted to leave silently, the woman refused to settle the matter. She felt that she had to seek justice for herself and her children in person.
"What? I want to run away if I feel guilty? It's your teacher Li who helped me, right?"
"Yes, it's his Teacher Li. Didn't he mention his thanks so many times just now?"
"It must be that teacher."
It turned out that the two women who stood up said in agreement with the same thoughts.
"Is there something wrong with it?"
Your words and words made other parents change their faces, and they wondered if someone had leaked the questions to Li Mu. Some parents even speculated that the senior executives of the organizing committee had an unclean relationship with Teacher Li.
"Is it because someone in the organizing committee had an affair with his Teacher Li?"
“Yes, it must be.”
"My daughter is in the sixth grade, and she is three years older than him, and she is studying at Beijing High School..."
"How could my son be able to participate in a training class worth ten thousand yuan? How could he not be able to compare with him!"
The CMO of the official National Mathematical Olympiad Competition is so great! Most of the winners are in the fifth grade of small areas and in the sixth grade of large areas, almost all of them are graduates. Limu occupies the first place and stomps, and the rankings of more than 200 students are all right down the line. If Limu can be pulled off, maybe the third prize can be turned into a second prize, and the second prize can be promoted to the first prize...
"Yes, it must be based on relationships, and on his relationships with Teacher Li."
When the lady heard the mention of Teacher Li Qihua, Li Mu stopped her pace.
Youdao means to be a teacher for one day and be a teacher for one day and be a mother for one day - what is that if you are a teacher for two years?!
"I'm a respected teacher. I pretend to be five or six, which is quite like that. In fact, I'm full of uh..." Her words became increasingly unpleasant.
Chapter completed!
