Chapter 91: A sad journey to the competition
Chapter 91: Chapter 91: A sad journey to the competition In the next few days, visitors came in droves. Third Uncle brought Third Aunt for a visit, and Uncle and Aunt brought Lin Rui for a visit. After arriving, they always had to be checked and reminded. There was nothing they could do about it, as they were still young!
Fortunately, they didn't come empty-handed. For the sake of the things they brought, Feng Yiping always behaved very obediently, taking everyone's advice and remembering it carefully.
It was Saturday again, and it happened to be Feng Yiping's turn to be on duty this week. There was nothing much to do on duty, as after all the students had left the classroom, he was responsible for closing the windows and locking the door, and then handing the key to the homeroom teacher.
This week, it was the first time that these second-year students had been at school for two weeks, and they were all eager to go home. In just a few minutes, the classroom was empty, except for him, Xiao Zhijie, Wang Changning, and one girl, Zhang Qiuling.
The group of them were having a lively discussion, because tomorrow Feng Yiping and the others would be going to the county to participate in an essay competition. In previous years, for competitions like this, the school would only select students from the third year of junior high, but because Feng Yiping was somewhat famous, the school had broadened their thinking a bit and selected students from the first and second years to participate as well.
It seemed that the first year student was a girl, the second year student was Feng Yiping, and the other was Zhang Qiuling – there was no choice, having a father who was the vice-principal meant that he had more opportunities. As for who was in the third year, he wasn't sure.
The competition was organised by the city, and there was only one examination centre in each county. This examination centre was, of course, in each county. Although the examination was scheduled for the afternoon, it would take three hours to get from the school to the town, from the town to the county, and if all went well.
In the office, the headmaster put down the phone and said to the head of teaching, with a face full of annoyance, 'Old Zhu from the town said that they couldn't rent a car and were going to leave this afternoon.'
The director of education was also taken aback. 'Didn't we agree that they would find a car and we would leave together tomorrow morning?'
'Who knows, I think we shouldn't count on them for anything in the future. Go and get Teacher Liu, the leader of the group, to come here. We'll leave in the afternoon too, even if it costs a bit more!'
Before lunch, Liu, the head of the Chinese teaching and re
Mr Liu still took everyone to People's Square for a stroll. After returning to the hotel, he gathered everyone together to study for the competition, but no one, including Feng Yiping, could concentrate.
On the morning of the competition, everyone slept in, even though they actually woke up at 6 o'clock. But they didn't want to get out of bed, so they just lay there watching TV.
At 9 o'clock, the student who shared a room with Mr Liu knocked on the door, asking everyone to get ready to go to breakfast together, and then go to Experimental Middle School to familiarise themselves with the surroundings.
For these big eaters, the bowl of wonton soup for breakfast was better than nothing.
When they finally arrived at the Experimental Middle School, the competition venue, it was already past ten o'clock. There were a lot of people coming and going at the door, presumably all thinking the same thing as they were.
