The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens

The speaker was filled with emotion, as if he saw the efforts a family makes for education.

"The Xie family is really lucky to marry such a daughter-in-law with a good family tradition! No, this guy Xie Yi must have saved the world in his previous life!"

"Oh, let's get down to business. It is said that Dabao is a very smart child. He has received full marks in every exam since elementary school!"

"Besides, he skipped a grade. His intelligence is beyond doubt, but the college entrance examination is a competition for adults. At his age... is it possible that the college entrance examination has become easier?"

"Easy? Look at those young people who have finished the exam. Which one of them didn't have a frown on his face and looked worried? It's obvious that they didn't do well in the exam."

"Forget it. There's no point in guessing here. Maybe they just want their children to feel the atmosphere of the college entrance examination. This year, the threshold is relaxed, so it's not a bad idea to let Dabao try it out in advance."

"That being said, if I had known earlier, my grandson who is still in the first grade of junior high school should have signed up to see the world!"

"You, your grandson only scored 12 points in math last semester, and you still want him to take the college entrance examination?"

"You're wrong, it's twenty-one!"

"..."

The other party was speechless for a moment, muttering to himself, can I really go to college with just these few points difference?

These discussions, like willow catkins in the wind, are erratic, but they also reveal the villagers' curiosity and confusion about Dabao's college entrance examination incident.

In such an ordinary village, every action that breaks the routine will become a topic of conversation among people after dinner, inspiring infinite imagination of the outside world.

For Xu Xiufang's family, Dabao's brave attempt is not only a challenge to the college entrance examination, but also a small breakthrough in traditional cognition, proving that age has never been an obstacle to the pursuit of knowledge and dreams.

This matter was already an open secret in the village, and Xie's mother naturally could not stay out of it and was well-informed.

However, she did not choose to go and inquire about the details immediately, because she knew very well that Xu Xiufang and Dabao were concentrating on the examination room, trying their best, and Xie's father had repeatedly ordered that no one should interfere with their preparations for the exam.

Her original plan was to keep all her doubts to herself until the college entrance examination was over, and then solve these mysteries one by one.

Time flies, and the college entrance examination is drawing to a close. The curiosity and concern that have been suppressed deep in my heart finally surge like a spring tide and can no longer be suppressed.

Xie's mother couldn't wait to step out of the house, and hurriedly went straight to Xu Xiufang's house, intending to wait for the two to return home and ask them in detail about the reason.

However, the moment I stepped over the threshold and my eyes fell on Erbao who was busy in front of the stove, all the questions that were ready to come out poured out like water bursting through a dam.

"Erbao, did your brother also take part in this college entrance examination?"

There was a hint of incredible urgency in her voice.

"That's right!"

Erbao is holding a kitchen knife, concentrating on slicing potatoes on the chopping board. These days, he has shouldered the responsibility of preparing three meals a day for his family. This is a special mission given to him by his father, to ensure that after the exams, his tired family members can have a hot meal to comfort their bodies and minds.

Hearing this, Xie's mother's eyes suddenly widened and her face was full of surprise.

All this is actually true!

Dabao not only took the college entrance examination, but also went to the exam with Xu Xiufang!

It seems that the Xie family is about to usher in a historic turning point - there may be two college students in the family!

Thinking of this, Xie's mother couldn't help but feel an unprecedented sense of pride in her heart.

The arrival of the second baby has undoubtedly brought great luck to this family. It is not just as simple as adding a new member to the family. It has also added a bit of glory to the Xie family's educational landscape and cultivated two talents who are expected to enter higher education institutions!

The ancestors must have blessed us, and the family is prosperous. The ancestral graves must have been filled with smoke and joy! On another day, we must prepare incense and candles, and worship them devoutly to show our respect.

"Hey hey hey..."

Just as Erbao was concentrating on cooking, he suddenly heard a weird laugh in his ears, which scared him so much that his hands trembled and he almost cut his fingers.

He turned around quickly and saw grandma smiling, with an inexplicable light in her eyes. Her expression was half ecstatic and half unpredictable. "Grandma!"

Erbao exclaimed, feeling a little uneasy.

"Ok?"

Only then did Mrs. Xie come back to her senses. Although there was still a smile on her lips, her expression gradually returned to normal.

Erbao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Grandma, you really scared me just now!"

"Oh," Mrs. Xie quickly cleared her throat, trying to change the subject and dispel the embarrassment: "Erbao, do you think your eldest brother can pass the college entrance examination this time?"

When Mrs. Xie said this, she didn't really want to find out Dabao's test results from Erbao. After all, in her mind, Dabao's success was almost a foregone conclusion.

My own child is so smart, so why should I worry about not passing the exam?

Not to mention Xu Xiufang, what a shrewd and capable woman she is. If she wasn't confident, how could she easily let Dabao test the waters?

Those rumors about Xu Xiufang letting Dabao try blindly were nothing but nonsense spread by the women in the village. They did not understand Xu Xiufang's careful consideration at all!

However, Erbao's answer surprised her. "It's hanging!"

The words are concise and direct.

"Yes, yes, yes, I will definitely pass the exam... what?"

Mrs. Xie was stunned for a moment, then she reacted, "Hanging? Why not? Oh, Erbao, you have to have faith in your mother and your elder brother! Even if you don't believe in your elder brother, you should trust your mother's ability, right? If she hadn't raised and taught you with great difficulty, would you two brothers have achieved what you have today? People should know how to be grateful, and not be ungrateful and white-eyed wolves!"

Erbao looked confused and muttered in his heart: How did the topic jump to "ungrateful people"? Aren't we discussing the results of the college entrance examination for the eldest brother?

In fact, he said "hanging" because he knew that his elder brother's college entrance examination this time was just a formality, and his real goal was to enter the junior class of the University of Science and Technology of China!

However, Mrs. Xie obviously did not notice the subtle changes in Erbao's heart, and continued to teach him a lesson: "Don't be discouraged when your mother and your eldest brother come back later. If your mother beats you, I won't protect you! Your father won't help you either, and he might even join in teaching you a lesson!"

Erbao opened his mouth but didn't utter a word. He just felt that his grandmother was completely different today, as if she was affected by some strange power.

"Grandma," Erbao finally decided to explain everything, "I said that big brother might not pass the exam because he wants to apply for the junior class!"

"What is the Junior Class?"

Mrs. Xie asked anxiously.

"That is a learning mode specially designed for geniuses," Erbao vaguely recalled his mother's words and tried to explain.

Mrs. Xie was confused by this and was unwilling to delve into this new concept. She insisted that a traditional university was the most ideal way out.
