Chapter 102 (Chapter 102 (Updated)...)

Song Yao wanted to be a good student in the new semester.

So after arriving in the capital, Yuan Jiang took them to move into a small courtyard. He rarely asked to go out to play, but seriously decided to study in seclusion.

After all, this is the last exam. If you fail and have to go in through the back door, that would be too embarrassing.

And he could guess at a glance that the courtyard they lived in now belonged to the state. After all, although Brother Yuanjiang had savings, it was still a bit difficult for him to buy a house with a courtyard in the capital.

Then you have to work harder.

In all his life, he has never been ranked first.

But the world is so big, Song Yao naturally doesn't think that he is the most powerful in the world.

He had heard the story of the frog in the well.

The young geniuses selected from all over Central Continent are definitely not to be underestimated.

Therefore, when calling relatives and friends, Song Yao did not dare to boast too much, but said very cautiously:

"I will try my best to get into the top three."

Grandma Song, who is about to take the exam: "Just pass the exam. It's so stressful three days before the exam."

Grandpa Song, who is still studying carpentry skills:

"Take the exam carefully. I have already made the frame of the big wooden wing you want as you said, but why is it that you drew this design? Ask Dongdong to draw a new one."

Teacher He, who is addicted to learning and can't extricate himself: "Don't set the requirements too high, be careful and nervous."

Shinan: "How many exams does Zhao Xiaodong want to take? Tell me quickly. If he fails, I can still laugh at him."

Mr. Wu: "You are only in the top three? Hahaha, cough, cough, cough. It seems that you have grown up a lot and learned to be humble. Ahem, cough, cough..."

Song Yao held the phone: "Grandpa Wu, are you sick again?"

Mr. Wu covered the microphone and finished coughing that he couldn't stop coughing. Then he let go and continued talking:

"It's still the same old problem, it doesn't matter."

Song Yao frowned: "Why doesn't it matter? Every time I call you, I hear you coughing. Is it because Brother Xiaolin is hospitalized and no one can control you?"

Mr. Wu laughed and said, "It's okay. It's just that I haven't slept well recently and my resistance is a little weak. You can rest for two months after you finish the exam. Do you want to come and play with me?"

Song Yao flatly refused: "No, you are too far away."

He often contacted Mr. Wu, so he naturally knew that the other person was in a remote and remote desert.

Not only was there not many people there, it was also windy and sandy, and there wasn't much to do. Song Yao didn't want to go.

Not only did he not want to go, he also tried several times to persuade Mr. Wu not to be there.

You can do experiments in uninhabited places. The desert is blowing with wind and sand, and Mr. Wu is already coughing. If this continues, his condition will definitely get worse.

Mr. Wu’s attitude was as firm as ever:

"It's okay, it's just a little wind, isn't it? The desert is the best testing ground for this project."

Regarding the specific information about the project, because it involved confidentiality, he never disclosed it to Song Yao, and Song Yao never asked.

Maybe it’s because I read too many martial arts novels.

Every time Song Yao sees the protagonist say to the supporting character "Don't ask, these things are not what you should know", the supporting character will often work hard to find the truth of the matter, and then when the truth is known, the next step will be It's dead.

Zhao Xiaodong calls this behavior "Curiosity killed the cat".

Song Yao, on the other hand, felt that this was originally a confidential project. If he went to inquire about exploration or even practice, wouldn't it be a shame?

He just muttered: "Anyway, I won't harm my body just to make something."

Mr. Wu chuckled: "You are still young. When you grow up, you will understand that some things cannot be avoided."

Song Yao agreed, but his mind was racing.

If he grows up, he will definitely find a way to avoid it.

For example, in this case of wind and sand, since there is anti-mosquito incense, why can't there be an invention to prevent wind and sand.

After hanging up the phone, he said this to Zhao Xiaodong. Zhao Xiaodong first gave him a high degree of support, and then said:

"Let's write it down first, we don't have enough to do."

As for their sheep-herding plane, not even half of it has been completed yet.

It has even spawned many branches.

For example, the big wing that Grandpa Song is helping them make.

At this moment, Zhao Xiaodong was drawing the design drawing of the wing and talking:

"It's convenient for us in Xinghe. If you want anything, just tell Grandpa Fang."

Since Song Yao and the others entrusted most of their "little inventions" to the care of Director Fang, he has definitely used his life to prove to them what it means to "reciprocate love in return."

Not only is he always on call, he would like to fly abroad to buy any materials he needs. Sometimes when Song Yao and Zhao Xiaodong encounter difficulties in making materials, he will personally accompany them to help them overcome them step by step.

I didn't feel it when I was in Xinghe County before, but since I settled down in the capital and started to study while continuing to engage in research and development, the two children have become a little uncomfortable without the existence of the director of Wanmianfang.

Even if they want a big wing now, they can only ask Grandpa Song for help from thousands of miles away.

There is nothing Song Yao can do:

"Carpentry is quite a waste of time. Normally we can do it by ourselves, but now isn't there an exam? Let's save some energy and review carefully."

As the leader of wood products in Xinghe County, with the "Carpenter Skills" in hand, Song Yao and Zhao Xiaodong's carpentry work is not much worse.

Of course, they are definitely not as good as Grandpa Song who studies every day and practices his skills diligently every day, but they are smart and have practiced a lot, so they are still very good.

Zhao Xiaodong thought about it.

"You are right, the exam is more important."

Anyway, the wings can't be used at any time.

As for the exam...

The state waives the bus fare and finds them a yard to live in. If they fail the exam, it will be too embarrassing.

Song Yao read the book for a while and felt a little tired. He rubbed his eyes and yawned:

"I'm so busy that I don't have time to make our sheep-herding plane. Oh, I want to eat bananas."

He likes to study, but this kind of things that have already been learned and are not suspenseful are not very attractive to him.

If he didn't need to deal with the exam, he would rather make wings.

Yuan Jiang happened to come in with a bag of fruit and handed each of them a banana:

"Comrade Zhou Yuan will come in a few days, and he will assist you then."

Song Yao took the banana with surprise, peeled it a few times and ate it in one bite, muttering happily while eating:

"Brother Yuan Jiang, how did you know I wanted to eat bananas? You are so considerate!"

Yuan Jiang: After all, you have shouted that you want to eat bananas three times since this morning.

After eating the bananas, the two children seemed to have been injected with chicken blood, and they became energetic again and tried hard to read books.

It's just that this chicken blood has a short effect.

Seeing that they read for half an hour and then leaned against each other unconsciously, although their eyes were reading, their faces were full of boredom, Yuan Jiang couldn't bear it:

"Why don't you stop reading? Haven't you almost finished reviewing?"

It would have been better if he didn't persuade him. Once he persuaded him, Song Yao, who was just thinking about whether to take a nap, immediately woke up.

"No." The child's eyes seemed to burst with countless divine lights: "We must not give up halfway."

Even the usually lazy Zhao Xiaodong was alert: "That's right, we can't slack off."

"Yes, Brother Yuan Jiang, don't worry, we won't tire ourselves out."

Yuan Jiang had some admiration in his heart.

As a result, before he could say a few short words of praise, Zhao Xiaodong vowed:

"This is the first step for us to defeat all opponents in the capital, we will definitely be able to persevere."

"Yes." Song Yao agreed: "Just like in novels, the first appearance of a master must be amazing enough."

If they were facing adults, the two children might not work as hard as they do now.

But since they are facing classmates of the same age and talent, they must do their best to maintain their master style in the first meeting.

Song Yao also took the initiative to cheer:

"Learning! It is a road that will never stop! What we have to do! Is to surpass everyone we meet on the road!"

After saying that, he added: "If it is the teacher and Brother Ye, we can take them on the road together after we surpass them!"

Zhao Xiaodong agreed: "You are right! Let's go together!"

Yuan Jiang: "..."

He felt that Teacher He and Comrade Ye would not be very happy after hearing this.

Song Yao and Zhao Xiaodong studied until seven o'clock in the evening.

They felt that they were really hardworking. They used to stop studying until six o'clock, but today they studied until seven o'clock with the help of light bulbs.

The two children praised themselves in their hearts, and then sat in a row while eating and watching TV. Don't say it, the country's arrangement is really appropriate. There is even a TV in this yard.

It's a pity that it's still not a color TV, but now they are busy immersing themselves in the plot and have no time to raise this opinion with the country.

After eating and watching TV, they obediently went to wash up. After a lot of tossing, when they returned to bed, the time was exactly half past eight.

Song Yao and Zhao Xiaodong chatted for a while, imagined the future, and exchanged their review experiences. At nine o'clock, they immediately got into bed and closed their eyes to sleep.

Before going to bed, they did not forget to praise themselves:

Oh, we are really working hard!

In fact, other children who broke through the exam and came to the capital to prepare for the exam are also working hard.

In order to accommodate outstanding students from all over the country, the country has specially vacated a dormitory building for them and their parents to live in, and they can move in one month in advance.

It is free and meals are provided. Although the examination room is not open, it is right next door. It can be said that it is quite thoughtful for these young geniuses.

Those with ordinary family conditions naturally live in the dormitory to review with peace of mind and wait for the arrival of the exam.

Those with better family conditions and no shortage of money go to live outside, like Song Yao and others, renting a secluded small courtyard for their children to review quietly.

When the exam is approaching, move back.

After all, the distance between the dormitory and the examination room is still very short.

Now, although there is still a month before the exam, the dormitory building is almost full, which is enough to prove that these children and their parents attach great importance to the junior class.

An old man walked around the dormitory building. It was obviously brightly lit everywhere, a thriving scene, but she sighed after coming down.

The teaching assistant saw it and asked in confusion: "Professor? These children are studying hard, isn't it a good thing?"

The old man shook his head: "Look at the watch, what time is it now."

The teaching assistant looked down at the watch: "Eleven o'clock."

The worry hidden in the old man's eyes became more serious:

"At eleven o'clock, it's time to go to bed, but they are still studying."

The teaching assistant actually didn’t quite understand the old man’s worries.

Isn't it normal to study at eleven o'clock?

Even he studies or works until half past eleven every day.

HKUST also has evening self-study classes at night. It’s twelve o’clock, but there are still many people sitting in the classroom.

When the old man saw him like this, he knew that he didn't understand.

She sighed again:

"The oldest of these children is only a teenager. They are studying so hard before they enter the juvenile class. If they are admitted to the juvenile class in the future, they will have to seize the time to learn."

"At such a young age, it is the time to grow. If this continues, I always feel bad."

The teaching assistant was still unimpressed.

It's a good thing to study hard.

Children should be happy when they are making progress.

But he knew that the professor had always disapproved of putting too much pressure on the students in the juvenile class, so he did not express his thoughts.

But he didn't say anything, the old man could guess what he was thinking by looking at his expression.

In fact, not only him, but most other people also have similar ideas to the assistant coach.

They think that college students can learn, middle-aged people can learn, and old people can learn. Why can't young people who are in a period of unlimited energy not learn?

As for what she said about whether these too young students would have psychological problems if they studied too intensively too early, and whether they would be out of touch with their peers, she did not pay attention to it.

After all, Zhongzhou is still in the early stages of development, and the older generation has endured hardships. For them, not having enough to eat, clothing, warmth, or education is called hardship.

The country attaches great importance to it, and the University of Science and Technology also cooperates. They have already prepared a set of measures to take care of these talented teenagers.

The food is nutritious, the accommodation is comfortable, there are famous teachers teaching, and the equipment is there for easy access.

In the eyes of many teachers and professors, this is simply a dream-like and beautiful life.

But the old man didn't think so. She felt that although everyone had good intentions, everything around them gave the students, who were no more than teenagers, a competitive signal.

We haven’t even taken the exam yet, and this is already the case.

After the twenty students in the junior class are selected, and everyone around them is a genius, and the adults around them also tell them that they are different and are geniuses, will they work harder and squeeze out all their time to maintain this?

Entering the field of crazy learning at an age when they should be growing up slowly, she always felt that this was not good for the long-term future of these children.

But this is the first attempt of the juvenile class, and everyone is groping forward. Until the results are obtained, the elderly cannot be sure that this will be bad for these children.

"Lets see."

She said to the teaching assistant: "I am also one of the teachers anyway, so I will pay more attention to these children."

In fact, the original quota for the junior class of HKUST was to be 150.

However, the state interfered, and in the end it was decided on a pitifully small number of twenty places. It spent so much manpower and material resources just to cultivate these twenty young geniuses, and it obviously attached great importance to them.

Even if something goes wrong by then, with only twenty children, it will probably be easy to adjust.

Thinking that something could be fixed if something went wrong, she felt much more relaxed, and then she left the dormitory building.

Time went by little by little, and three days before the exam, the dormitory building was almost full.

Song Yao and Zhao Xiaodong were also led by Yuan Jiang to this dormitory building specially prepared for placement of exam students.

As soon as they entered, they felt a strong learning atmosphere.

A child was sitting on the window sill reading a book. Two children passed by discussing math problems. One child walked upstairs in a hurry, holding a large stack of books in his hands.

Song Yao and Zhao Xiaodong looked at this and that curiously, and finally came to the conclusion:

"Everyone is so serious."

"Of course, the exam is coming soon."

A voice came from behind them. Song Yao turned around and saw two children, one tall and one short. It was the short one who spoke:

"Getting into the junior class is even more important than going to college. Of course everyone worked hard. Many people now only eat in a few minutes."

He looked very similar to the taller boy. Both of them wore round-rimmed glasses, which made them look more alike. After finishing speaking, he took the initiative to reach out:

"Hello, I'm Monday."

The taller one also smiled and waved: "I'm Tuesday."

Then they all went to say hello to Yuan Jiang: "Hello, uncle."

Before Yuan Jiang could react, Song Yao immediately smiled, stretched out his two chubby hands, and held one in each hand:

"Hello, hello, I'm Song Yao, from Xinghe County, from room 201."

Monday and Tuesday were obviously shocked by his behavior, which was more familiar than his own. They were stunned for a moment before Monday said:

"I know, we are in room 202, so we just talked to you."

He turned to look at Zhao Xiaodong: "Are you Zhao Xiaodong?"

Song Yao let go of his hand, and Zhao Xiaodong immediately stretched out his own hands and shook hands:

"Yes, yes, I am Zhao Xiaodong, and I am also from Xinghe County. Nice to meet you. Are you two brothers?"

on Monday:"……"

Tuesday:"……"

Their pretense of maturity can no longer be maintained.

But seeing that Song Yao and Zhao Xiaodong both looked calm, as if this was normal, the two brothers began to wonder if this was the etiquette of Xinghe County?

Then if they are in a daze, doesn't it show their ignorance?

So Zhou Zhou nodded and tried to make a normal expression as if nothing had happened:

"Yes, Tuesday is my brother, we are twins."

Twins, Song Yao and Zhao Xiaodong nodded immediately, they knew this.

They were very happy to meet new friends who lived next door.

Song Yao took the lead to go upstairs and greeted him warmly:

"If you are free, would you like to sit in our dormitory?"

Because almost every child he saw along the way was either studying or walking on the road of learning, he felt that his previous sentence was still necessary.

on Monday:"……"

Seeing the two of them nodding, he greeted them to go upstairs. He didn't seem to say anything else at all. He hesitated for a long time.

Finally, when he reached the second floor, he couldn't help but ask:

"Don't you want to know how I know your names?"

Song Yaozheng was full of thoughts, "This is my first time living in a dormitory, I'm so happy." When Leng Buding heard him ask, she looked back at him a little doubtfully:

"Didn't you just say that? You are from 202 and we are in 201. It is normal for you to see our names."

Monday: "...Then I can't know what you look like, right??"

Song Yao: "The exam is coming up in three days, and almost everyone is here. It's not surprising that you guessed it was us."

He also thought why Monday's tangled point was so weird.

"Eh? Why is the expression on your face so ugly? Did I say something wrong?"

on Monday:"……"

Tuesday burst into laughter. At this moment, he could no longer pretend to be a very mature and steady person:

"Hahahaha, Monday, you also have today."

His face was full of gloating, and he ignored his brother who kept tugging on his arm, and said all the words like he was pouring beans from a bamboo tube:

"He likes to read foreign detective mystery novels. He has always wanted to be a detective. He always makes deductions when there is nothing to do. He just deduced that you are 201 people.

That’s why I’m waiting for you to ask him why he knows you are from 201. "

Song Yao and Zhao Xiaodong understood it immediately.

"Oh, I see."

They've also read mystery novels.

The county magistrate has this book in his collection. He doesn't really like reading this type of book, so Song Yao and Zhao Xiaodong can take it home and read it.

The detective is indeed like this. He will give the result in one breath, and then someone will appear and ask: "How did you know?"

The detective kept telling him how he knew.

As for why the detective didn't say anything himself?

Doesn’t that make the detective look too shabby and talk too much?

Because he was friendly to them on Monday and Tuesday and even took the initiative to say hello, Song Yao felt that he should respect the hobbies of his new friends.

So the child nodded and took the initiative to ask Monday:

"Then how did you know we were us?"

Zhou Zhou was already prepared to accept the other party's ridicule, but unexpectedly, he suddenly became happy and said very enthusiastically:

"I observed it on the first day I came to the dormitory building. Here, only one family will be placed in one room, so you will definitely come together.

I ran around the entire dormitory building again. Most of the other empty rooms had only one name. The one with two names was Wang Hua and Wang Duo. These names sounded like girls.

So when I see you two boys coming together, it must be you. "

He did not forget to be humble at the end:

"This reasoning is very simple, but it requires super observation skills and memory. If it were someone else, it would not be so easy."

Seeing that he had finished speaking, although his face was pretending to be calm, his eyes were full of "Praise me! Praise me!" Song Yao applauded Mianzi very much:

"Good! Excellent!"

Then he stabbed Zhao Xiaodong with his arm.

Zhao Xiaodong naturally had a tacit understanding with him and immediately applauded:

“Absolutely wonderful!”

Monday was easy to coax and showed a shy and proud smile.

He still wanted to show off, so he continued:

"And I also know that this uncle is not your father, nor is he a relative."

Yuan Jiang was suddenly named: "?"

Zhou Yi glanced at him a little cautiously, his attitude a little more worried than the natural attitude towards Song Yao and Zhao Xiaodong:

"Uncle, can I guess your identity?"

Yuan Jiang has always liked children. Seeing his uneasy expression, he thought for a second and nodded slightly.

With permission, Monday is active again:

"If you are a parent, you should take the initiative to say hello to us."

"He will also lead where to go next. This uncle is tall, has long legs and has confident eyes. He doesn't seem to be the kind of character who would be dominated by children, and I find the position where he stands very interesting.

Even if he is holding his luggage, he will always stand in a position to protect you at any time. From this position, no matter which direction someone is going to harm you, this uncle will immediately be able to smoothly attack you! "

Yuan Jiang: "..."

He began to carefully look at the child in front of him. His observation ability was indeed beyond ordinary people.

Zhou said happily and revealed the differences in Yuan Jiang one by one:

"So this uncle must have joined the army, and he is very skilled and has a good character. You trust him more than you trust yourself. This is not something ordinary people can do.

What kind of situation would allow such smart people like you to place such a high level of trust? That uncle's identity is definitely not an ordinary person, so! I already know! "

He suddenly shouted loudly, Yuan Jiang's eyes narrowed, and he was about to stop him.

As a result, Zhou Yiyi said firmly:

"You are from the Hidden Family! This is your shadow guard."

"Same as the Shadow Guard in "The Two Swordsmen"!"
