Sail across the sea

Chapter 4

"The front is okay, but the next two experimental questions, if you don't answer them completely, it is estimated that a lot of points will be deducted."

Huang Chunyan replied with a dejected face.

"Alas, there is no way, schools in small counties like ours can't do the experiments in schools in big cities." Wen Xiaojian sighed.

The chemistry competitions for middle school students in Beijing, Pujiang and other places have already begun to assess the actual operation of chemical experiments, while the chemistry competitions in Maolin Province are only testing experimental skills on paper.There is no other reason. Maolin is a province with an underdeveloped economy, and most middle schools cannot build complete chemical laboratories.

Cangtang No. [-] Middle School is one of the thirteen key middle schools in the Luping area. It barely has a decent chemistry laboratory, but there are very few opportunities for students to do experiments.Because chemical reagents are needed to do experiments, and chemical reagents cost money to buy, and the school's funds cannot support them at all.

This is true for regional key middle schools, and it is even more difficult to read non-key middle schools.The experimental conditions are a little better, that is, the key institutes in the provincial capital Ruizhang City.In this case, if the chemistry competition is more important than the actual operation, the schools in the following cities and counties basically come to accompany the exam, which seems unfair.

As a result, the assessment of chemical experiments has been changed to paper, and students are required to speculate on the experimental results based on the experimental process.But without practical experience, it is inevitable that there will be missing knowledge points if you only rely on theory to push it.This is the third time that Cangtang No. [-] Middle School has sent students to participate in the provincial chemistry competition, and every time the students have stumbled on the final experimental questions.

"What about the two of you, how sure are you?"

After asking Huang Chunyan, Wen Xiaojian turned his head to Fang Rui and Zhang Wei, asking about their situation.

Both of them gave answers, and they were generally not satisfied. Some questions were sure, and some questions were doubtful. In short, the hope of the first prize was very slim, and it was probably just a second prize.

"Oh, I'm going to shave my head again this year." Wen Xiaojian sighed, finally turned his gaze to Gao Fan, and asked casually, "Gao Fan, how are you doing? Have you done any?"

What is this!

Discrimination against Hongguoguo!
Gao Fan felt that he should be angry.

But think about it seriously, Huang Chunyan, Fang Rui, and Zhang Wei are all top students in their grades, and Gao Fan is not the best in the second echelon. This time he can participate in the semi-finals, and the naughty Wen Xiaojian behind him Clearest.He asked about Gao Fan's exam situation like this, which was not tactful at best, and it was not malicious discrimination at all.

Thinking of this, Gao Fan didn't care about anything anymore, and he replied according to a middle school student's respectful attitude towards the teacher: "It can be counted as a few questions, so I won't get duck eggs. My family is a chemical fertilizer factory, like the last one." That experiment question is about the reaction between ammonia water and copper sulfate, I understand a little bit."

"Gao Fan may be the best among us in the exam. We didn't have enough time, and he handed in the paper ahead of time." Zhang Wei interjected.Just now Gao Fan told Huang Chunyan the solution to the last question, which hit Huang Chunyan hard, and Zhang Wei also developed a bad feeling for Gao Fan because of this, and he was really unwilling to seize the opportunity without hurting him.

Fortunately, during the exam, Zhang Wei sat in front of Gao Fan and did not see Gao Fan sleeping, otherwise he would have to complain to Wen Xiaojian.

"Oh, that's fine."

Wen Xiaojian didn't care about Zhang Wei's poisonous tongue, but just nodded, not knowing what it meant.When he thought about it, even if Gao Fan handed in the papers ahead of time, it wouldn't be surprising. Wasn't the proverb "broken cans smashed" invented for people like Gao Fan?

Gao Fan himself said that he had done a few questions, and even did the last experimental question which was somewhat difficult. In Wen Xiaojian's opinion, it was already a surprise.

If Gao Fan could get a few questions right without getting a zero, the school would look better.Such things as cheating for the third prize can happen everywhere, and the education department also turns a blind eye and doesn't go into it.But if the students you send are really poor and get a zero score in the test, this is considered to be too ugly, and the Education Department will use this as an excuse to blackmail you in the future.

"Let's go to dinner first. The train back is at [-]:[-]. After dinner, we still have two hours. What are your plans?" Wen Xiaojian asked the students.

"I want to go to the zoo!" Fang Rui was the first to shout, while raising his hands high.

"How old are you, you still go to the zoo!" Wen Xiaojian scolded.

Fang Rui showed aggrieved face, and said: "Mr. Wen, I have never been to the zoo, okay? When I was young, my dad said many times that he would take me to Ruizhang to see the zoo, but he never came."

"Why is that?" Gao Fan asked curiously.

"Because my dad always said that as long as I can get the first grade in the exam, he will take me there, but...you know the reason."

Speaking of this, Fang Rui gave Huang Chunyan a sad look, and didn't say any more.He has been in the same school as Huang Chunyan since elementary school, and Huang Chunyan won the first place in every exam from the first grade of elementary school to the second grade of high school. Fang Rui never succeeded, so Fang Rui's dream of a zoo has never been possible. accomplish.

Hearing Fang Rui's words, Huang Chunyan quickly covered her mouth again.She's been trained not to laugh at anything funny—unless she can't help it.For a while today, Gao Fan and Fang Rui, the two treasures, had already made her laugh twice.

Hey, it turns out that taking the exam is such an interesting thing, the boys in the class are really funny.

"I'm afraid it's too late to go to the zoo." Wen Xiaojian frowned and said, "Ruizhang's zoo is very big. I took my children there once, and I couldn't spend half a day there. Buy a ticket for one yuan. If you play It’s not worth it to come out in two hours.”

"But..." Fang Rui scratched his scalp with a pitiful look on his face.

"Fang Rui, bear with it." Gao Fan said, "How many animals can there be in Ruizhang's zoo? There are two pandas who are old and thin. We are going to college soon, and we will pass the exam when the time comes." Go to Beijing and Pujiang, and go to the zoo there, there are many kinds of animals.”

"Yeah, that makes sense too." Fang Rui quickly got off the donkey.He also saw that Wen Xiaojian didn't intend to let them go to the zoo, and what Wen Xiaojian said was quite reasonable. The zoo ticket cost as much as one yuan, and usually it would take half a day to visit. If they only visited two Come out in an hour, isn't it a big loss?
"I want to go to Xinhua Bookstore."

Seeing that Fang Rui had given up, Huang Chunyan proposed her own plan.

"Well, I also want to go to Xinhua Bookstore."

Zhang Wei immediately agreed, and he didn't know if he really wanted to go to Xinhua Bookstore, or if he was doing the dog-licking duty out of habit.

"Go to Xinhua Bookstore, how about you two?" Wen Xiaojian looked at Fang Rui and Gao Fan.

The two little boys both have super high IQs, how could they not understand what Wen Xiaojian meant, they could only nod in response:

"Okay, let's go to Xinhua Bookstore too."
