Chapter 308: Chapter 54_4Eat well, drink well, study well, go to college, you still have your grandparents to take care of in the future." "Thank you, Brother Bin." Li Zhiyuan walked over at this moment: "Brother Binbin, do you still have talisman paper in your pocket?" "Yes, this is our anti-counterfeit symbol." "You give it to Haiyang. Haiyang, I put some talisman paper outside your house, check the color when you go back and also stick some on your grandparents’ bedroom door. Don’t tell others it was from me." "I understand, Brother Xiao Yuan. I’ll just say these are peace charms." The next day, after early self-study, Li Zhiyuan and Tan Wenbin just entered the classroom when Zheng Haiyang came over and whispered: "I asked my grandparents last night, they told me, my parents did bring something back home last time." Tan Wenbin quickly asked: "What is it?" "That, I can’t quite describe it; I’ll draw it." Zheng Haiyang took a pen, turned to a page in Tan Wenbin’s notebook, and began to draw. Tan Wenbin frowned: "What kind of object is this?" "I haven’t seen it, it is based on my grandparents’ description." Li Zhiyuan said lightly: "Ding." "F*ck, a national treasure." Being high school seniors, they naturally understood what "Ding" represented. Li Zhiyuan then recalled that Zheng Haiyang’s mother had said this was her first time going inside, but not for her husband. So, the first time her husband went in, he brought out something. "But, my grandparents said this thing is very small..." Li Zhiyuan: "Not every Ding is large, there are small ones. What color is it?" "Black-green." Li Zhiyuan: "That might indeed be a cultural relic." No wonder Zheng Haiyang’s grandparents chose to hide this from Tan Yunlong the second time he asked yesterday, having lost their son and daughter-in-law, the elderly clearly hold such items more dearly. Tan Wenbin asked: "Did you bring it with you?" Zheng Haiyang shook his head: "That thing was hidden by my parents in the well above the house dam, and I tried to fish it out with my grandfather last night but couldn’t retrieve it." Tan Wenbin: "Then let Run Sheng go to your place tonight to fish it out; Run Sheng is professional." Li Zhiyuan asked: "Did the talisman paper change?" "I checked last night when I went back and again this morning on my way to school, it hasn’t changed color." Tan Wenbin breathed a sigh of relief: "Good, he hasn’t come." Li Zhiyuan corrected: "Hasn’t come yet." "Will there be any trouble at our home?" Zheng Haiyang asked worriedly. Li Zhiyuan said: "There are police outside your house." Tan Wenbin said: "They can’t stay too long, at most these two days, otherwise the people below will be dissatisfied since no case has been filed." "Brother Xiao Yuan, Brother Bin, then I..." "We’ll go to your house tonight," Li Zhiyuan said calmly, "Get the object from the well, and there’ll be nothing wrong with your house." Tan Wenbin curiously asked: "What will we do with it after we fish it out? This thing seems like a hot potato now." Li Zhiyuan lay his head on the table ready to catch some sleep, he had spent half of last night drawing Little Huang Ying. However, the boy still casually answered: "Hand it over to the state." Tan Wenbin cautiously asked: "If this relic was found in international waters, it doesn’t need to be handed over to the state, right?" The boy had already adjusted his arm to be a pillow, closing his eyes and responded rhetorically: "Then you bring it home." "No no no!" Tan Wenbin immediately shook his head in alarm, "Still better to hand it over to the state, to the state." The three went out to eat at noon, after which Tan Wenbin went to call Aunt Zhang’s store, telling Run Sheng not to bring Alii tonight, but to bring proper equipment instead. Just as they walked back to the school gate, they saw Wu Xinhao riding in his car, the driver focused on driving while Wu Xinhao sat in the back waving his hands obliviously, animatedly talking. He was going to a meeting, and on the way didn’t forget to have one last rehearsal. Once inside the school, the celebratory banner was already hung. "Warm congratulations to our student Li Zhiyuan for securing first place in the city Mathematical Olympiad!" A peculiar move is that the original last three characters "first prize" were crossed out and replaced with "first place" at the last minute. Because the competition was ranked by position, there were several first prizes, but only one perfect score. The banner was prepared in advance, and it was Principal Wu who requested this change, no need to change the banner; this way, it looks even more powerful! Our school is in a region with hellishly difficult competitions, used to suppressing feelings before, and now that we finally caught a break, naturally we must celebrate and let loose. Li Zhiyuan just glanced once and then lowered his head, continuing to walk forward. Searᴄh the Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Tan Wenbin slapped his thigh, ran back to the classroom first, and called to the impoverished students in the class: "What are you staring at, get to work, get to work! Bind the second, third, and fourth volumes together for sale, except for the students who receive school subsidies for the impoverished, everyone else pays full price!" Li Zhiyuan returned to find the classroom turned into a large distribution site like a big publisher’s, with people bustling inside and even more squeezed in the hallway. Once the Olympiad news was announced, the entire school’s market buzzed. Not only the seniors came to buy problem sets but also many juniors and even quite a few from the junior high section. For these younger students, they’d use it eventually anyway; the most important part is, by the time they’re in high school, the winner will already be at university, so they hurried to buy it while he was still around to share the good luck. Many people pulled the talisman paper out after buying their problem sets, kissed it, and then very carefully and precisely tucked it back in. When one of the problem sets slid off the desk near Li Zhiyuan, it fell to the ground.
