Black Tech Scholar

Xu Jian looked at Liao Yuanbai, and Liao Guifen's expression seemed a little difficult to open his mouth.She looked at Liao Yuanbai silently, and there was a strange atmosphere among the three of them.It was supposed to be a joyous Spring Festival, but it looked very dull.Liao Yuanbai didn't want the whole living room to be so silent. He glanced at his mother and asked in a low voice, "Mom, what's the matter?"

Liao Guifen's face seemed a little ugly, she touched Liao Yuanbai's head and said in a low voice, "Xiaobai, we will have to change places after a while, where do you want to live?"

Liao Yuanbai was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, it seems that Xu Jian and his mother had broken up.Moreover, he didn't know what the two of them said.Liao Yuanbai pursed his lips and said, "Mom, why don't we go to Longcheng directly... In this way, if I go to high school in Longcheng, I will save a lot of things."

"That's right." Liao Guifen said with a smile after seeing her son's answer, "Then go directly to Dragon City." When she said this, she raised her head to look at Xu Jian, then turned her face away Looking at Liao Yuanbai, he said, "Xiaobai, go back quickly. Mom still has some things to discuss with Uncle Xu."

"Okay." Although Liao Yuanbai didn't want his mother to go to Longcheng, it was a provincial capital after all, not only big but also difficult for outsiders to gain a foothold.But Liao Yuanbai could tell from the expressions of his mother and Xu Jian that there was no possibility for them.Liao Yuanbai had a vague idea in his heart. He wondered if it was because of himself that his mother and Xu Jian could not get together.

Of course, these are just Liao Yuanbai's guesses.He didn't think of himself as an idiot at all, probably because Xu Jian's mother and Xu Chengzhi's grandma felt that his mother was an idiot when she took him.In fact, Liao Yuanbai could also feel that his mother had a somewhat favorable impression of Xu Jian.

There was some guilt in his heart, and when he opened the door, Xu Chengzhi was looking at him eagerly.Liao Yuanbai showed a wry smile, and said in a low voice, "Probably my mother and your father have already broken up the conversation."

"..." Xu Chengzhi was angry and did not speak. He turned his back to Liao Yuanbai, looking sullen.

Liao Yuanbai was amused by this guy, he found that Xu Chengzhi actually took good care of him.That is to say, a little in the second grade, but which child is not in the second grade?He patted Xu Chengzhi's broad shoulders, and said in a low voice, "Okay, it's not like we won't see each other in the future, we're still in the same school."

Xu Chengzhi's shoulders seemed to be trembling a little, and he said in a hoarse voice, like a wounded little animal, "Liao Yuanbai, I didn't like you at first. But now, I think you're not bad... It's you, don't You look so nerdy. If you go to Dragon City like this, you will be bullied if no one covers you."

"It's because of you." Liao Yuanbai seemed to have little stars twinkling in his eyes, looking at Xu Chengzhi brightly.

"Don't worry, I will definitely cover you." Xu Chengzhi's mood changed, he turned around and looked at Liao Yuanbai, nodded firmly, and said as if patted his chest as a guarantee.

"Xu Chengzhi, let's go." Xu Jian's complexion was not good, and he looked very complicated. He rubbed his eyebrows and looked at Xu Chengzhi.Xu Chengzhi responded, and looked back at Liao Yuanbai every step of the way.Liao Yuanbai also felt uncomfortable, his brows were slightly furrowed, and he didn't look away until Xu Chengzhi's figure had disappeared in the corridor.

After the mother closed the door, she pointed to the sofa and said in a low voice, "Sit down, Xiaobai."

Liao Yuanbai knew that it was his mother who wanted to talk to him, so he sat obediently on the sofa.He didn't speak, he looked at his mother cautiously, and didn't know what he should say.

After the mother sat down, she said in a low voice, "Xiaobai, you have been studying for the past few months, and our mother and son have not spoken for a long time." Liao Yuanbai nodded, looked at his mother, and then turned his eyes to the distance.The mother's face was very tired, and Liao Yuanbai was worried, but he couldn't say it.The only thing he can do is to repay his mother with his achievements.He knew too well how his mother felt.

I hope he can study hard and be able to support himself when he grows up.No matter where you are, as long as you are happy.

Mother stroked Liao Yuanbai's hair with her slightly rough fingers. Liao Yuanbai squinted his eyes, feeling the warm palm of his mother.He whispered, "Mom, what's the matter with you?"

"Xiaobai, you are such a smart child, you have already seen it. The matter between me and your Uncle Xu..." The mother said halfway, "Your uncle's mother doesn't like us mother and son very much. If uncle insists on staying with mother, you will have to tutor Xu Chengzhi in his studies and help with some things. In fact, her old man just wants to embarrass us mother and son. Think about it. We are orphans and widows, the origin is unknown, It's normal for her not to like it."

"Well, mom... what about Uncle Xu?" Liao Yuanbai's expression didn't change at all, "I don't think Uncle Xu should be such a person."

"Yes, Uncle Xu is certainly not such a person. But my mother is afraid of affecting you. After all, you are only 12 years old. You should study hard and grow up. Moreover, the children of Uncle Xu's family are so old. If they bully you... I know your temperament, I would rather bear it than say it. Mom doesn’t want to wrong you, forget it, let’s go to Longcheng to see the house tomorrow. As you said, sooner or later you have to go to Longcheng to study, Let's go to Longcheng earlier to look after the house." There was a trace of bitterness in the mother's smile.

Liao Yuanbai lowered his head, "Mom, Xu Chengzhi is a nice person, he won't bully me. Don't..."

"Okay, Xiaobai's matter is over, and there is no room for maneuver. I tell you this, not to increase your burden, but to hope that you can study hard without distracting thoughts in the future. Xiaobai, go to sleep "The mother patted Liao Yuanbai's shoulder tenderly, she knew Liao Yuanbai's temperament, and she would take responsibility for everything that happened to her.She was just afraid that Liao Yuanbai would be overwhelmed. This child is too easy to think and is a little sensitive.

"Okay, mom, I'm going to bed first." Liao Yuanbai sniffed, his voice sounded trembling.Halfway there, he turned his head and said with a smile, "Mom, you should go to bed earlier." He didn't know how to comfort his mother, after all, her mother was very sure of Xu Jian.In other words, my mother liked Xu Jian quite a lot.For his own sake, he gave up on Xu Jian. He felt very guilty, but he couldn't say such words.

The next day, Liao Guifen brought Liao Yuanbai to Longcheng.This time without Xu Jian's company, the two of them came to Longcheng in a crowded bus all the way.

Originally, Liao Guifen wanted to check the housing prices in the residential area next to No. [-] Middle School, but Liao Yuanbai shook his head.When he participated in the preliminary round of the [-]th Middle School, he saw the housing prices here, and it was simply not what they could afford.In the end, they could only make a circle near the edge of Dragon City.

The housing prices here are not expensive, even lower than those in Qingya City.But the population is sparse, and there are almost no people after night, making it extremely lonely.

There are also quite few residents. It is said to be Longcheng, but it is actually a town next to Longcheng.Fortunately, this place is close to Dragon City. Although it looks dusty, it is at least a lot closer to Seventeenth High School.As long as you take bus No. 6, you will be able to reach the Seventeenth Middle School in an hour.

Liao Yuanbai is quite satisfied with this place, and the rent is not very expensive.He didn't know when he would go to the [-]th Middle School. He originally planned to study in the [-]th Middle School after finishing the junior high school in Qingya City.But the plan can't keep up with the changes, and it seems that we have to prepare in advance.High school is no better than junior high school. According to his current reading speed, he probably won't be the most outstanding one in high school.

He still needs to learn, a lot of learning.Otherwise, he can't guarantee that he can really enter the school he wants to go to most.

Entering university is the first step, after which he will study abroad.Naturally, you can't let your mother spend money on studying abroad. If you want to study abroad at public expense, you must do your best.After studying abroad, he was able to start his real scientific research life.Thinking of this, Liao Yuanbai suddenly felt the pressure.

There is no motivation without pressure, Liao Yuanbai thought in his heart.His mother was still negotiating with the head of the household, Liao Yuanbai lowered his head, wondering what he was thinking.

"No, you can either rent a house now, or don't talk about it. Really, you don't know when to rent a house to see what house." The owner of the house is a rude middle-aged man. He shouted loudly. He called out to Liao Yuanbai's mother.Liao Yuanbai hurried over, stood in front of his mother, and whispered, "Uncle, can you speak better?"

"Forget it." Someone pulled the middle-aged man beside him. After the man snorted coldly, he didn't speak.

"Okay, let's go to the next one to have a look." Liao Yuanbai and his mother traveled all over the town, and they saw nice houses.But I am not sure when I will rent a house, and I have been rejected without exception.At the end of the day, Liao Yuanbai seemed a little listless.

Liao Guifen took Liao Yuanbai to the hotel, and Liao Yuanbai said in a low voice, "Mom, why don't you rent it now. When I started school, I transferred to No. [-] Middle School to study. In fact, after the final exam, a teacher from No. [-] Middle School invited me I went to study in No. [-] Middle School. I think, if I go to them again, I should be able to enroll in No. [-] Middle School."

"This..." Mother couldn't make up her mind for a while, she didn't see any information about houses for sale in Qingya City.Secondly, Xu Jian helped find her job.This seemed a little embarrassing, but it would be better to find a job in Longcheng after quitting the job.Liao Guifen believes that as long as people work hard and are willing to do things, they will not suffer any big losses anywhere.

Liao Yuanbai bit his lip and looked at his mother.He knew that his mother was not sure about it for a while, and was afraid that the teacher in the Seventeenth Middle School would suddenly go back on his word.

After staying in the hotel for one night, Liao Guifen brought Liao Yuanbai back to Qingya City.Liao Yuanbai told his mother that he could wait. After he got the ranking in the national finals, the Seventeenth High School would definitely invite him to study.As a result, before the winter vacation was over, the teacher of No. [-] Middle School found Liao Yuanbai's home.

It was like a timely rain. The teacher of the [-]th Middle School put forward his own conditions, and he could give Liao Yuanbai a bonus, so that he could be directly promoted to the high school of the [-]th Middle School.

Liao Yuanbai thought for a while, and said to the teacher of Seventeenth Middle School, if he got a place in the national competition in Mathematical Olympiad, would he be able to skip directly to the high school of Seventeenth Middle School.The teacher of Seventeenth Middle School rejected Liao Yuanbai's proposal. He felt that it would not be difficult for Liao Yuanbai to get the ranking in the competition. When he rolled his eyes, he thought of an idea.

"Well, after the national competition is the physics competition. If you can get a place in the physics competition, you can go to the first, second or third year of high school. You can choose which age you want to be promoted to." The teacher of the Seventeenth Middle School smiled. Yin Yin looked at Liao Yuanbai.

After the two parties reached an agreement, Liao Yuanbai would go through the transfer procedures to transfer to Longcheng No.17 Middle School before the school started.After going to middle school, the school will award scholarships, and even completely exempt Liao Yuanbai from all school expenses.This includes tuition, fees and meals.Since Liao Yuanbai would not live on campus, he did not include the accommodation fee in it.

After signing the agreement, Liao Yuanbai's mother came to Longcheng non-stop and rented out the house she was looking forward to.The teacher from the Seventeenth Middle School directly contacted the teacher from the No. [-] Middle School in Qingya City to handle the transfer procedures for Liao Yuanbai.

Liao Yuanbai came to Longcheng with his mother, and school was about to start.Moreover, the intensive counseling for the National Mathematical Olympiad Competition will also begin, and the training location is at Longcheng No.17 Middle School.So Liao Yuanbai was not worried about this, and his mother was busy looking for a job in Longcheng these days, so she didn't care about Liao Yuanbai.

On the first day of school, Liao Yuanbai went to report to the Seventeenth Middle School in Longcheng alone with his schoolbag on his back.When seeing Liao Yuanbai walk into the class, Zheng Yi was the first person to look at Liao Yuanbai with incredible eyes. The head teacher seemed to be busy with something and didn't care about Liao Yuanbai.The students in the classroom had already started whispering, and the noisy voice made Liao Yuanbai's ears buzzing non-stop.

"Be quiet." The head teacher is a middle-aged man who looks quite easy-going. He said with a smile, "A new classmate?"

Liao Yuanbai nodded, and handed his student status to the class teacher.

"Student Liao Yuanbai, right? Then you should sit next to Zheng Yi first." The head teacher smiled and pointed to Zheng Yi who was sitting alone in the corner of the classroom.

Liao Yuanbai nodded, and said in a low voice, "Thank you class teacher." After speaking, he walked to Zheng Yi's side, and the other students looked at Liao Yuanbai with strange eyes.It seemed that they all wanted to see Liao Yuanbai make a fool of himself, until Liao Yuanbai walked to Zheng Yi's side and said with a smile, "Student Zheng, let me go."

Zheng Yi hummed softly, and turned his body to make way.

"I'll go, who is this guy? When did God Zheng become so angry?"

"Don't you know? That guy is Liao Shen, who is tied for the first place with Zheng Shen. Speaking of which, our [-]th High School is also very powerful, and the three gods are gathered together."

"What three gods, they are obviously the three giants of the Olympiad."

"Aren't there three big mountains?"

"Keep your voice down, I heard that the Big Three are all going to skip a level..."

"Do you think they will jump directly to the second year of high school, and then fight to the death?"

"I... why do I feel a little excited?"

The voice of discussion lasted for a long time, in fact, both Liao Yuanbai and Zheng Yi heard it.But they ignored these voices, Zheng Yi raised his sword eyebrows and looked at Liao Yuanbai, "I thought you wouldn't come to Seventeenth High School, I heard that they paid a lot of money to get you here."

"They should have paid a considerable price for keeping you in No. [-] High School." Liao Yuanbai also replied to Zheng Yi.

"It's rare, you turned around too. Every time I compete with Wang Kaiyu, I feel a little bored." Zheng Yi looked a little foolish, with his hands in his trouser pockets, and said with a smile, "After you come , Wouldn't it be more interesting for the Three Kingdoms to compete for hegemony?"

"Really?" Liao Yuanbai's tone became a little strange, and he said with a smile, "Aren't you afraid of being hanged by me?"

"Really?" Zheng Yi raised his head and leaned his body back, "I'm looking forward to it."

Liao Yuanbai was not talking, after putting away his book.Zheng Yi said casually, "The training for the National Mathematical Olympiad competition will start this afternoon. Don't let me down during the exam."

"Don't worry, I promise I won't let you down." Liao Yuanbai paused for a moment, and he looked at Zheng Yi firmly, "It's you, God Zheng, don't let me down." Zheng Yi smiled, still the same The appearance of the deputy ruffian was not talking.He was already pretty good-looking, but with that ruffian look on top of him, it made girls fall in love with him.

After eating in the school cafeteria at noon, Liao Yuanbai came to the training ground for the National Mathematical Olympiad - the lecture hall.The decoration of this lecture theater is very simple, but it doesn't look shabby at all, and it's even quite foreign.Liao Yuanbai was sitting in front, and Wang Kaiyu came over from somewhere.

He said in surprise, "I heard that you thought you were joking when you came to our school to study." Wang Kaiyu looked at Liao Yuanbai seriously, "Why do you suddenly want to study in our school?"

"There's no reason, it's because of some things at home." Liao Yuanbai said with a smile, "By the way, how can you be sure that I'm here to study?"

"Because of Zheng Yi." Wang Kaiyu said with a smile, "Don't look at him as a sloppy guy, but he never bothered to lie. Today he swore to me, you transfer to their class. From now on, the grade ranking will be even higher. It's time to see..."

"..." So you are actually very familiar with each other, Liao Yuanbai couldn't help but want to make up the relationship between Zheng Yi and Wang Kaiyu.What a pair of good school god CP... Wait, what a mess.He was thinking wildly, but he didn't expect the head teacher to walk into the auditorium with an easy-going smile.

no?Liao Yuanbai was stunned for a moment. Could it be that the tutor is his head teacher?Wang Kaiyu quietly whispered beside Liao Yuanbai, "Are you surprised? Mr. Yuan is the top math teacher in Longcheng, and he must be the one who teaches Mathematical Olympiad." Wang Kaiyu gave a thumbs up.

Liao Yuanbai felt a needle-like light staring at him from behind, turned his head, and found that Zheng Yi was reading a book by himself.With a jolt, Liao Yuanbai felt a strange mood... How should I put it, it seemed that Zheng Yi seemed a little jealous of himself.

What is this ghost?

"Students, please put down the things in your hands." Teacher Yuan, the class teacher, looked at the twelve students in the lecture theater and said in a low voice, "You are all outstanding in the Mathematical Olympiad, and I believe that you all have the ability. However, the National Mathematics Olympiad is different from previous competitions after all, so a test is still required." Teacher Yuan took out the paper, looked around and said, "I think everyone disdains plagiarism, right? Of course, if someone wants to plagiarize, it doesn't matter. You will be disqualified from participating in the National Mathematics Olympiad directly, I think you will weigh it yourself."

No one in the lecture theater spoke, they all looked at Teacher Yuan.None of these students said a word until Teacher Yuan coughed lightly and started handing out the papers.

After handing out the papers, the students in the whole classroom started to do it.The sound of rustling writing filled the entire classroom.

Liao Yuanbai looked at the questions on the test paper, and found that it was a bit more difficult than the province's Mathematical Olympiad.Fortunately, he has been studying hard these days and has acquired a lot of knowledge.He took his own pen and quickly wrote the answer on the paper.Wang Kaiyu next to him was not far behind, and quickly wrote his solution steps on the paper.

After a while, Liao Yuanbai put down the pen in his hand and blew on the paper.He raised his hand, Teacher Yuan looked at him with a smile and said, "Student Liao, what's the matter?"

"Teacher, I can hand in the paper now." Teacher Yuan nodded without speaking, took the paper that Liao Yuanbai had handed in, and read it.He looked and nodded.After a while, Wang Kaiyu and Zheng Yi also handed in the papers. Teacher Yuan took his red pen and began to correct the papers.

No one spoke, and the person who handed in the paper was looking at his own book.Those who did not hand in the papers were doing the papers. It seemed that the only sound in the lecture hall was the sound of pens touching paper.

After a while, Teacher Yuan finished correcting the papers of three people, and students began to hand in papers one after another.Teacher Yuan only said about self-study, and then began to correct the papers again.About an hour and a half later, Teacher Yuan put down the pen in his hand, rubbed his sore brows and said with a smile, "Okay, I will find the paper now. Let me just say a few words, judging from the results of the investigation. Everyone's basic They are all very solid, but the application of thinking is still somewhat lacking.”

"Liao Yuanbai is the only one with full marks. Liao Yuanbai was the first to hand in the paper, but he is also the only one with full marks. Next are Wang Kaiyu and Zheng Yi, both of whom got 95 points. You both did a basic question wrong. Fortunately, The mistakes are not the same, otherwise I would almost wonder if you read each other's papers." Teacher Yuan said with a smile.

"The students in the back need to work harder. Except for these three students, the highest score of the other students is only [-] points, which is still far away from the three students I just mentioned." After handing out the papers, Teacher Yuan said Started to explain.

Teacher Yuan's explanation was concise and to the point, and he expressed all the thinking of the whole question in just a few words.Those sitting here are not idiots, they quickly understood the idea, followed Teacher Yuan's idea, and started to solve the problem together.After a while, the whole paper was explained.

Teacher Yuan waved his hand to let these students rest for a while.Liao Yuanbai closed his eyes, as if he was closing his eyes to rest his mind.In fact, he was thinking back to Teacher Yuan's train of thought just now. He had three solutions to that question, except the one that Teacher Yuan said.After recalling it once, he felt that he seemed to have entered a misunderstanding.It's not that advanced mathematics is convenient for solving problems, but that I rely too much on my previous knowledge.

It should be said that I rely too much on what I have learned, and it is not easy to absorb new knowledge.This is not a good thing. If you want to embark on the road of scientific research, you must have a certain degree of curiosity about everything.Otherwise, it is impossible to do scientific research well.

Thinking of this, Liao Yuanbai quickly adjusted his thinking in order to adapt to the new method.In the next process of answering, he tried his best to abandon the problem-solving methods he had relied on in the past, and followed Mr. Yuan's train of thought to answer the questions that Mr. Yuan wrote on the blackboard one by one.

"Okay, that's all for today's lesson, I hope everyone will review it by themselves when they go down." Teacher Yuan still smiled and said gently, "From tomorrow morning, the training will be formally held, I hope Everyone, be mentally prepared for this. The training camp is not an easy task, especially for the top three students in today's exam, I will increase the training for you."

With Teacher Yuan's hand waving lightly, Liao Yuanbai packed his things and walked out of the auditorium.

Wang Kaiyu followed behind Liao Yuanbai and said in a low voice, "Student Liao Yuanbai, do you want to go out and play?" The way he winked at Liao Yuanbai made Liao Yuanbai feel a little funny.

"No." Liao Yuanbai rejected Wang Kaiyu righteously, he thought for a while and said, "I have some things to do when I get home later, why don't you ask Zheng Yi to go out to play together."

"I don't want..." Wang Kaiyu seemed to want to complain to Liao Yuanbai, but he didn't expect that Zheng Yi had already moved to his side, and said abruptly, "Let's go."

Before Wang Kaiyu could react, Zheng Yi had already been dragged away by Wang Kaiyu.

Liao Yuanbai looked at the backs of the two people who were drifting away with a smile, walked out of the school gate, and sat on the No. 6 bus.After returning home, he had to clean the house. The house hadn't been lived in for an unknown period of time, and it looked dusty.My mother was looking for a job outside again, so she couldn't be too tired.

Thinking of this, Liao Yuanbai opened the door of the house, but his mother sat on the sofa and waved at Liao Yuanbai.
