Learning Makes Me Rich

After returning from the spring outing, Xi Shaoyuan would occasionally ask Zhou Xiu if he was handsome today, and if he wanted to go and see him play.

Zhou Xiu looked up from the pile of homework and commented objectively: "Handsome."

Xi Shaoyuan usually gets out of bed, and after washing, he casually grabs his messy hair and goes out. Even so, he is still very handsome, his face washed with clean water is clean and neat, his eyes are ignorant and confused in the morning with a mole of tears, and the curvature of each strand of hair seems to reveal a cold beauty.

Sometimes she would try her best to spare time to watch the game, but Zhou Xiu was very busy, and the total number of times she went to the game did not exceed five times. After returning from the spring outing, she resumed her routine life. It's just that Zhou Xiu occasionally thinks of Xi Shaoyuan's gentle hug at the foot of the mountain.

Even her parents have never hugged her like this in memory.

Another weekend of the week.

Zhou Xiu came back after listening to the Mathematical Olympiad class. In the class, Teacher Wang sent a cmo mock test paper for everyone to write. The test paper was very difficult, with a full score of 63 points. Zhou Xiu only scored 39 points. Although everyone generally got low scores, Xie Cheng and Xi Shaoyuan's scores were still top notch, scoring 55 and 59 points respectively.

Zhou Xiu has been unhappy since returning home.

Xi Shaoyuan didn't understand the reason for Zhou Xiu's depression at first, but he didn't understand until he saw her correcting the test paper in frustration.

He took Zhou Xiu's test paper and analyzed it question by question for her, "You basically got the score you can get, isn't that great?"

"I haven't studied number theory, so it's very difficult to do these questions. You started relatively late, and you need to lay a solid foundation at this stage. Xie Cheng and I have been exposed to number theory since elementary school. It's different. You can supplement this knowledge. Qi, I can get points next time."

"Don't compare yourself with other people's strengths. Your progress is very fast, which often makes me and Xie Cheng feel incredible."

It was the first time for Xi Shaoyuan to give a lecture to others. While lecturing the topic, he gave the knowledge points involved. I don't know if Zhou Xiu understood. Usually no one dared to bother him with math problems, even if he did, he wouldn't bother wasting time.

His draft paper is very neat, and the graphics he draws are very beautiful, as if drawn with a ruler and compass. Although the handwriting is messy, it is majestic, even if it is a random draft, I will write my signature seriously. I was used to his cynicism, but I didn't expect to be extremely serious in doing things, which Zhou Xiu didn't understand.

Zhou Xiu listened to Xi Shaoyuan's patient explanation and smiled gratefully at him.

Since the lecture, Xi Shaoyuan often asked Zhou Xiu to find topics to write about. He even lent his study to Zhou Xiu. Under his guidance, Zhou Xiu made rapid progress in mathematics.

In other words, even without Xi Shaoyuan, Zhou Xiu's progress would be very fast, he just witnessed her progress.

Once, Teacher Wang deliberately punished Zhou Xiu to write a set of test papers, making it impossible for people to complete the task in a short time. After school, Xi Shaoyuan texted Zhou Xiu, "Take it home and write."

After returning home, the two of them spread out all the test papers, and Xi Shaoyuan said, "I will make a copy of these test papers for you, and write them slowly later, and finish the task now."

As he spoke, he imitated Zhou Xiu's handwriting and began to write the test paper. Xi Shaoyuan has specially practiced calligraphy and learned many kinds of fonts. It is not difficult to imitate Zhou Xiu's handwriting.

His speed is recognized as fast. Others have to write quizzes for two classes. He enters the classroom by stepping on the bell of the second class, and can always hand in the test papers after school. Zhang Qi commented that he was too arrogant, jumping back and forth while grinding Lao Wang's face. Xi Shaoyuan thought that he was demanding himself with high standards, and Lao Wang might be very happy in his heart.

In short, he wrote the test paper very fast. Zhou Xiu saw it with his own eyes. A test paper that took three hours to complete took him half the time. He sat upright, staring intently at the subject. After writing a question quickly, he will raise his eyebrows proudly, and the tear mole at the corner of his eyebrows seems to glow. When he got stuck on a complicated topic, he would frown again and fall into deep thought.

Zhou Xiu freed up the topics that he couldn't write and left them to him. Xi Shaoyuan could continue to write following Zhou Xiu's train of thought after a little thought.

In the end, Xi Shaoyuan wrote seven papers, Zhou Xiu wrote five papers, and it was already one o'clock in the morning after finishing the test papers. The two racked their brains and were exhausted after writing, and the completion was not easy.

Later, Teacher Wang returned the corrected test papers to Zhou Xiu, and Zhou Xiu treasured them. Others may not be able to recognize the difference in the handwriting of the seven test papers, but she can recognize it at a glance.

Xi Shaoyuan reminded Zhou Xiu, "Xiuxiu, I put so much effort into helping you write the test paper, you must thank me, right?"

Zhou Xiu didn't know how to thank Xi Shaoyuan, she thought about it for a few days. He has too many things, invite him to dinner, he refuses to be invited to dinner. Give him something, and he doesn't lack anything. Xi Shaoyuan reminded her to ask for a unique gift.

What is a unique gift?

Zhou Xiu won the gold medal in the mathematics league in September, so she gave her certificate and gold medal to Xi Shaoyuan.

Xi Shaoyuan happily accepted the medal presented by her.

…

After one autumn rain and one cold, Xi Shaoyuan bought Zhou Xiu a new padded coat in late autumn.

City C has rarely seen a thin layer of snow in decades, and the snow in the urban area melted quickly. On that day, Xi Shaoyuan was optimistic about the weather forecast in advance, and invited many friends to go to the mountain to see the rime and snow scene, and brought Zhou Xiu with him by the way.

The sky was gray and the surroundings were pitch black, Xi Shaoyuan called Zhou Xiu out of the bed.

He whispered to Zhou Xiu to come out to watch the sunrise. Zhou Xiu didn't expect to be woken up by him, so she put on her clothes and went out with a flashlight. Xi Shaoyuan pulled his lips to reveal his white teeth, "It's so slow, the sun might be setting soon. Maybe the girls in Xiushui Village are tired of watching the sunrise?"

Not really, although Zhou Xiu lived in the mountains, Zhou Xiu had never seen a sunrise in the past seventeen years. In the past, I only thought about life and how to continue studying. I was not interested in it before, but now it’s okay to see it.

Zhou Xiu didn't have any expectations at first, but after the sun gradually rose, the white snow all over the mountain reflected the golden light of the morning sun, slightly, not so dazzling that people's eyes could not be opened, and the vast snow scene around was beautiful. extreme. Zhou Xiu seemed to feel a handful of snow in her heart, which was slowly and gently melting away, poetic and beautiful.

Xi Shaoyuan lifted off her big red Little Red Riding Hood, and stuffed Baixue up her neck mischievously, "Xiuxiu must always remember that I sacrificed my precious time to watch the sunrise with you."

When Zhou Xiu was frowning from the cold, he kissed her forehead lightly.

"It doesn't matter if you don't remember. Just remember to study hard."

Zhou Xiu was so startled that the snow she was holding fell to the ground, and she forgot to fight back. A pair of clear eyes were full of shock, staring straight at Xi Shaoyuan.

After a long while, Zhou Xiu calmed down by herself. She thought: Xi Shaoyuan grew up abroad, and it is normal for Xi Shaoyuan to occasionally express his joy with a close-to-face kiss when he is excited.

After watching the sunrise, Xi Shaoyuan let go of Zhou Xiu to find friends to discuss the picnic. Zhou Xiu held Qingxue on his face in confusion but earnestly in the snow, thinking about life.

…

The weekend is over and a new week is here.

The laboratory building of Yude Middle School is a bit old. Last year, Mr. Xi donated a new one to Yude Middle School.

After Xi Shaoyuan and Zhou Xiu came back from the snow mountain, the new laboratory building was almost completed and was in the renovation stage.

The brand-new laboratory building is decorated in a very fresh and natural way, full of childishness. Little green buds, big lions, little tigers, and butterflies are painted on the pink and white walls. Each floor has a representative animal, the first floor is a goat, the second floor is a lion, the third floor is an ostrich, and the fourth floor is an alpaca... There are animals as large as the decoration on the wall, as small as a faucet symbols of.

The top student in the rocket class went to the new laboratory building for a class, and the feedback after returning was that the experience was amazing. They can't wait to spend the whole day in the laboratory building. Many people are saying, no wonder the amusement park project of Xi's Universe is so successful.

Qi Yaguang's English has always been very good. She noticed a detail and murmured: "Didn't you realize that the first floor is goats, ibex, lions, ostriches, and alpacas are lions, ostrich, and vicuna respectively. The first letters of animals spell i, love, you..."

"Oh my God, this laboratory building is so romantic!"

Is this an expression of love for experiments and natural science?

Zhou Xiu was stunned for a long time when Qi Yaguang mentioned the "romantic" legend about the laboratory building. She remembered the last words Xi Shaoyuan said on the snow mountain. At that time, he looked at the distant mountains and opened his arms and said to her, " Xiuxiu, I want to show you something."

Zhou Xiu thought that what he wanted to show her was the sunrise in front of her, but she didn't expect it to be a laboratory building.

ibex, lion, ostrich, vicuna, elephant... the implicit love spelled out with the initials of animals in English, many academic masters didn't notice this detail at first, and it was hard to ignore it after they noticed it. It expresses the students' love for truth and science. But many people's understanding of it stops here, without thinking of a deeper level.

Because they don't know the relationship between Xi Shi and Xi Shaoyuan.

The few friends who had a good relationship with Xi Shaoyuan suddenly came to their senses. Zhang Qi was discussing gossip with his friends during lunch, "What is the love for the pursuit of truth and science? This operation is really too embarrassing."

"Only elementary school students would do such childish things."

The others were silent and understood.

He did this so that even those who didn't know the relationship between the two of them before would understand now.

Zhou Xiu just won the gold medal in the national biology competition not long ago. She likes biology very much. She raised several rabbits at Xi's house and helped them deliver babies with her own hands. Her head is a little green sprout. She raised a rabbit in the biology laboratory. A pile of algae; the pendant on her schoolbag is always an animal, and she always stops and checks when she encounters a strange plant she doesn't know before leaving... She has carved her love for life into her bones.

What is the love for science? Where are the electromagnetics and circuits of physics and chemistry experiments, and where are the beaker scales? Even if it is made up by force, it is also a love for creatures.

Even the confession is so reserved, is it because he is afraid that Zhou Xiu will refuse?

They met Zhou Xiu with tacit and friendly smiles, and didn't mention the laboratory building at all. Zhou Xiu spent her first semester of senior year in this tense and exciting atmosphere.

…

As winter passed and spring came, Zhou Xiu ushered in the new year with the ringing of bells in the square.

Balloons were flying all over the square. Zhou Xiu spent last year's New Year's Eve doing his homework. At that time, Xi Shaoyuan was away with his grandparents to celebrate the New Year. This year he accompanied Mrs. Xi who returned home to celebrate the New Year.

Mrs. Xi was getting old and went to bed after the New Year's Eve dinner. Xi Shaoyuan urged Zhou Xiu not to write the test paper, and went to the downtown square to watch the balloon show, because fireworks and firecrackers could not be set off in the urban area, so they had to change to a non-polluting, biodegradable balloon show. At the moment when the New Year's bell rings, thousands of balloons fly into the air together, just like candy floating into the world of fairy tales, dreamy and colorful.

The crowd was surging, and passers-by were rubbing shoulders one after another. Xi Shaoyuan could only hold Zhou Xiu's hand firmly to ensure that she would not be scattered by the crowd.

Under Xi Shaoyuan's urging, Zhou Xiu closed her eyes and made a wish when the New Year's bell was ringing.

One wish, Haiyan, Heqing, Shihe Suifeng.

Second wish, the whole family is happy and healthy.

Many years later, Zhou Xiu thought how good it would be if time was frozen at that moment. It was the most relaxed and carefree moment in her life. It's a pity that things backfire, and everything is always unsatisfactory.

After the Spring Festival, Zhou Xiu received bad news from the countryside that Zhou Cheng was seriously ill.

After Zhou Xiu remitted several times of medical expenses to her parents, she felt that the situation was not good, so she took the train back to Xiushui Village overnight. At that time, Zhou Cheng had already turned into a lump of loess.

In the final stage of treatment, the huge medical expenses became a mountain that crushed Zhou Cheng. In order not to be a burden to his wife and daughter, he stumbled and fell down the mountain and died.

Zhou Xiu guarded his father's tomb for a week in a daze, and at the same time missed the selection of the imo national training team. Later, she heard feedback from Yude's classmates that Xi Shaoyuan was also absent from the selection of the training team, and Xie Cheng became a member of the national team and will go to St. Petersburg to participate in imo at the end of July.

She didn't know why Xi Shaoyuan was absent from the training camp for no reason. Participating in imo was his long-cherished wish. Zhou Xiu made countless calls to Xi Shaoyuan during the wake-up call, but he didn't answer any of them, from when the phone was fully charged to when it ran out of power, it automatically shut down.

After Zhou Xiu guarded the coffin, she planned to return to City C by train, but she learned that her student status had been transferred to the county middle school she originally attended. Mrs. Xi told Zhou Xiu to let her study hard in X City, and she would continue to subsidize her university studies in the future.

If the grades are excellent, she is willing to continue to subsidize all the expenses for her study abroad, but Zhou Xiu can no longer go back to Xi's house. Perhaps it was during the final review stage that Mrs. Xi discovered signs of her son's puppy love, and she didn't want her to disturb Xi Shaoyuan.

No matter what, Zhou Xiu finally stayed in X city and concentrated on preparing for the college entrance examination. Two months later, she won the first prize in science in X province.

She declined Mrs. Xi's suggestion to study abroad and applied for the finance department of Tsingda University.

Many years later, Zhou Xiucai learned from their mutual friend that shortly after she left, Xi Shaoyuan was found to have advanced bone cancer. Three months after the college entrance examination, when others went to college with great enthusiasm, he passed away in a deserted manner. . Everything in the past has a reasonable explanation, Zhou Xiuquan understands it all.

Xi Shaoyuan has never confessed his love to Zhou Xiu in person, but all his love is buried in the details of the past.

Zhou Xiu recalled that many years ago, the whole city was filled with the atmosphere of the New Year, and the main streets were filled with lights and festoons, fireworks, and radiance. The adults led the children to watch the lively New Year's performance. When the New Year's bell rang, Xi Shaoyuan gently made his wish among the crowd:

"I hope Xiuxiu can fulfill her dream and become a scientist."

I hope that Xiuxiu will become a great scientist, bring hope to patients, and leave a little light to the world.

203x, summer.

country y.

The weather is fine, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant.

"Dr. Zhou, as the first batch of patients with clinical symptoms, Xi recovered very well. The results of our experiment are amazing!"

Zhou Xiu browsed through his inspection report and was very satisfied. She asked Xi Shaoyuan, "Do you want to go back to China when you recover?"

Xi Shaoyuan nodded, then shook his head again, "I'll be back soon. I heard that you have a lot of funding for the project, but you probably don't mind letting Huanyu contribute a little bit."

Gmendelian's project to conquer cancer cells is a multi-national joint research project with sufficient funds. Zhou Xiu represents Huafang. Although the headquarters is located in country y, it is a "fire project" for all human beings to overcome incurable diseases. Huaguo has invested heavily in this project, and it has become an important part of the medical reform in the "Fifteenth Five-Year Plan" and a key support project of the state.

Some time ago, Zhou Xiu, as a deputy to the National People's Congress, proposed at the National People's Congress that cancer treatment be included in medical insurance so that ordinary people can afford to eat and receive treatment. Peace of mind, down-to-earth treatment, this suggestion has also been adopted by the country.

The national strength is strengthened, the people live and work in peace and contentment, so that the old will be able to die, the strong will be useful, and the young will be strong, so that everyone can be bathed in sunshine and live with more dignity.

Zhou Xiu teased implicitly: "You don't have to worry about this, I'm not as poor as before, you can go home with peace of mind."

The system has already gone to help the next owner. It handed Zhou Xiu over to the country and the world with confidence.

Xi Shaoyuan underwent the last round of examinations, and the cancer cells in his body were basically eliminated. He lost ten catties, but he was much more energetic than before. In winter, he proposed to Zhou Xiu.

If he was young and promising and didn't feel inferior, he would definitely answer Zhou Xiu's call bravely. When he was dying, he thought, it would be nice if there was an afterlife. How can you be reconciled if you can't watch the sunrise in the early morning, hear the New Year's bell, see her realize her dream, and bless her right away?

Fortunately, he still had the opportunity to witness her becoming the most shining star among the crowd.

Time flies, the ugly duckling grew up, and the confused and ignorant girl in the village flew out from the mountains.

The author has something to say:

"Let the old have an end, the strong will be useful, and the young will be strong" from the Book of Rites

There will be no more updates, see you next time!
