The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens

Now, her son’s name is directly intertwined with the University of Science and Technology. How could this not make Xie’s mother excited and surprised?

Inside the house, Xu Xiufang was drawn out by the sound of conversation outside. When the door opened slightly, she saw Xie's mother, who was so excited that she couldn't restrain her excitement. She walked forward quickly and announced excitedly: "Xiufang, the teacher from the University of Science and Technology is here in person!"

Xu Xiufang followed Xie's mother's gaze and her eyes fell on the two strangers beside Director Zhang.

The two teachers obviously did not expect that Xie Kailin's mother was so young and beautiful. A hint of surprise flashed across their faces, and they wondered in their hearts: Is this the mother and not the sister?

After Xie's mother briefly introduced herself, Teacher Jin quickly stepped forward with a warm smile on her face and said, "You are Xie Kailin's mother, right? Nice to meet you. My last name is Jin, and this is my colleague Teacher Jiang. We both work at the University of Science and Technology. The school plans to open a junior class, intending to select 20 intellectually outstanding teenagers from across the country. We happened to receive a recommendation letter mentioning that your son Xie Kailin is extremely intelligent, so we came here specially to visit you."

Xu Xiufang maintained a proper smile and politely invited, "Hello, teachers. Please come in. Kailin has taken his brother to school and should be back soon. Why don't you come in and rest for a while?"

Hearing this, the two teachers simultaneously turned their gazes to the sturdy dog ​​named Xiaole, with a hint of uneasiness in their eyes.

Xu Xiufang called softly: "Xiao Le."

As soon as the words fell, the usually fierce Xiao Le immediately restrained his edge and ran to Xu Xiufang's feet meekly, like an obedient puppy.

Seeing this, the two teachers' worries finally disappeared and they followed Xu Xiufang into the house with confidence.

Director Zhang followed closely behind, and when he passed by Xu Xiufang, he smiled and said hello: "Comrade Xu, it's true that we meet everywhere in life!"

Xu Xiufang smiled back: "I am so honored that Director Zhang still remembers me."

Director Zhang smiled and said, "I was deeply impressed by your paper. How could I forget it?"

Xu Xiufang responded modestly: "It is my great honor that my humble work has been appreciated by the director."

Director Zhang chuckled. He admired Xu Xiufang's humility and humor even more. Moreover, she had once saved his wife, and he would always remember this favor.

He lowered his voice and reminded, "These two teachers from HKUST are only here to get a preliminary understanding. They have not yet decided whether to admit your son. You need to tell them the truth, otherwise..."

Director Zhang turned his eyes and glanced at the neighbors gathered outside, with a meaningful look.

Xu Xiufang understood what Director Zhang meant. It was clear that this visit was just an examination of Dabao's eligibility as a candidate for the junior class, and not a final admission notice.

If Dabao does not meet the requirements, it is better to confess early to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings and unnecessary public pressure.

Xu Xiufang was grateful for Director Zhang's kindness, but for her family, being at the center of public opinion was not the first time.

Xu Xiufang and Dabao himself are both well aware of Dabao's qualifications.

Even if they fail to enter the junior class, it is by no means an unbearable shame for them.

That just means that Dabao doesn't meet the selection criteria of HKUST, not that he is not smart enough.

After all, how can Dabao's future path be determined solely by the evaluation of others?

The University of Science and Technology has the right to consider whether Dabao matches their school's educational philosophy, and they naturally have the right to evaluate whether the University of Science and Technology is truly suitable for Dabao's growth. This is a choice and fit between the two parties!

Director Zhang knew Xu Xiufang was very smart, and when he saw that his hint had been understood, he walked straight into the house.

Xie's mother followed closely behind.

Xu Xiufang wanted to follow, but was stopped by Liu Ying.

How could Liu Ying miss such a lively occasion?

Xu Xiufang raised her eyebrows slightly: "Mother Jiajun, we have guests at home, so it's not convenient for you to stay."

"We are still talking about this between us?"

Liu Ying patted Xu Xiufang on the shoulder in a pretentious manner and said, "I saw that you had a guest, so I came to help you. Leave the serving of tea to me!"

Xu Xiufang secretly complained in her heart: Everyone knows that you are here to gather information?

As soon as Liu Ying stepped into the house, others also became restless. Fortunately, Xiaole stepped forward at the right time, and the crowd then understood why Liu Ying was sticking so close to Xu Xiufang.

In the room, Xie's mother warmly entertained the two teachers and Director Zhang, offering them seats and serving them hot tea one by one.

Xu Xiufang went back to the house to get some candies and biscuits. When she passed by Liu Ying, she handed her some fruit candies and a bag of biscuits.

Liu Ying smiled so happily that her eyes almost narrowed into slits, as if to say, see, our relationship is special!

The candies and cookies are given to me first!

It’s a pity that Xu Xiufang is too stubborn and unwilling to acknowledge this special friendship, nor does she know how to express it in a more subtle way!

Xu Xiufang placed the candies on the table, invited the three guests to taste them, and then sat down opposite them.

When Teacher Jin and Teacher Jiang stepped into the house, they were slightly surprised by the simple and tidy environment in front of them. They had never expected that Xu Xiufang would be so thoughtful to treat them with these candies, which made them even more curious.

Before this, the farmers' families they visited, upon learning that they were from the University of Science and Technology, all took out the best things in their homes to show their respect.

But the simplicity and sincerity of Xu Xiufang's family left them with a deeper and more extraordinary impression.

Women as free and easy-going as Xu Xiufang are rare in rural areas!

Moreover, when she learned that the two were faculty members of the University of Science and Technology, she neither showed her undisguised ecstasy at being certain that her son would belong to the University of Science and Technology, nor did she show excessive excitement.

To her, such a visit seemed to be a very common occurrence.

From her appearance to her words and deeds, where is the trace of a traditional peasant woman?

Of course, family environment is also an important aspect of the admissions assessment. Teacher Jin carefully asked, "Kailin's mother, you said Kailin went to school, but isn't the college entrance examination over? Does he still need to go to school?"

"He went there to accompany his brother," Xu Xiufang replied softly with a gentle smile on her face, "He has a twin brother. They are both studying together and supporting each other in their growth in the same class!"

Teacher Jin then asked, with a hint of curiosity and concern in her voice: "What about the child's father? How do you share the burden of the family?"

"His father went to work in the transport team," Xu Xiufang explained, with a subtle flash of worry and pride in her eyes.

Although Xie Yi had resigned and wanted to devote himself to his family, after the autumn harvest season when the earth was covered with golden color, the demand for grain transportation came like a tide, and the transportation team suddenly became short-handed.

Jiang Chengping, the old leader who had been very kind to Xie Yi, earnestly asked Xie Yi to stay for a while longer to help the transport team overcome the difficulties.

This kindness is both a pressure and a motivation for Xie Yi, and Xu Xiufang, as his wife, feels the same way.
