The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens
Chapter 222 Olive Branch
Teacher Jiang's eyes became more and more crystal clear, until the end, he asked Dabao to write a few words with a brush on the spot.
At that time, Teacher Jiang had an unconcealable smile on his face, and he seemed to be full of expectations for Dabao's performance.
As Dabao's slightly immature but very elegant handwriting appeared on the paper, it seemed that there was only Dabao in Teacher Jiang's eyes, and everything else became the background.
His concentration seemed to be able to penetrate the back of the paper and reach Dabao's heart.
This round of questions and answers lasted for an hour and a half.
During this period of time, except Dabao and Teacher Jiang, no one else present said a word.
The whole room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Everyone present was deeply attracted by the conversation between this couple with a huge age gap but full of tacit understanding. No one wanted to interrupt this harmony. Instead, they all held their breath involuntarily, fearing that Dabao would have any hesitation or pause, and everyone's heart would be in suspense.
When Dabao's calm and confident voice once again clearly echoed in the air, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, as if the tense atmosphere just now was just a false alarm.
During this test, Xu Xiufang, who knew Dabao's abilities very well, kept her expression as calm as ever, without the slightest fluctuation.
But she keenly noticed that most of Teacher Jiang's questions revolved around physics, and she couldn't help but start to think.
Teacher Jin, who was sitting nearby, chanced upon seeing Xu Xiufang, and secretly admired her in his heart: with such a mental quality that she could remain calm even when faced with a catastrophe, it was no wonder that she could raise such an outstanding son!
With the answer to the last question, the comprehensive investigation of Dabao came to a temporary end.
The two teachers were extremely satisfied with Dabao's overall performance and immediately invited him to go to Shen City ten days later to take a special exam, where he would compete with two other students.
Dabao looked up at his mother with a questioning look in his eyes.
Xu Xiufang nodded gently to encourage him, and Dabao replied, "I need to hear my mother's opinion on this matter."
As soon as the words fell, the two teachers' eyes turned to Xu Xiufang at the same time.
Xu Xiufang maintained a gentle smile and said in a smooth and polite tone: "We will consider it!"
However, the two teachers did not take Xu Xiufang's words seriously, they thought it was just a courtesy.
After all, who can refuse an olive branch from a university of science and technology?
Until Xu Xiufang sent them to the door, before leaving, she still couldn't hold back her inner doubts and asked Teacher Jiang: "Teacher Jiang, I would like to ask, if my son Kailin is lucky enough to be admitted to the University of Science and Technology, would the school prefer him to focus on studying physics?"
"Indeed!"
Teacher Jin gave a positive answer without hesitation, "Kailin's talent in physics is very suitable for this subject!"
Xu Xiufang responded: "But the child himself is not interested in this."
Teacher Jiang waved his hand gently, with an unquestionable firmness in his tone: "When the country needs us, we should stand up and contribute to the country's development!"
"I admire your broad-mindedness and responsibility," Xu Xiufang said seriously, "but I also think that the country also needs talents in the field of medicine. In fact, there is still a lot of room for improvement in the level of medical and health care in our country!"
"Physics is the foundation of scientific and technological progress," Teacher Jiang insisted. "The country is not strong enough. We urgently need the power of science and technology to support development!"
Xu Xiufang also insisted on her own opinion: "If the child is really passionate about physics, as a mother, I will do my best to support him. But if he is not very interested in physics, forcing him will often backfire and may end up counterproductive. In my opinion, it is very important to respect children's interests!"
Teacher Jiang stared at Xu Xiufang, and after thinking for a moment, he changed his strategy: "Our school's physics major is second to none in the country. If Xie Kailin chooses our physics major, we can guarantee to provide the best educational resources. But if he chooses pharmacy... unfortunately, that is not our strong point!"
Xu Xiufang secretly wondered in her heart, is he determined to let Dabao go into physics?
Teacher Jin, who was standing by, caught the subtle change in Xu Xiufang's expression and felt worried. He quickly interrupted and said, "Kailin's mother, we can discuss the choice of major in detail later. The most important thing now is to prepare for the exam in Shen City. When do you plan to leave? We can arrange someone to pick you up at the train station!"
What he meant was to confirm whether Xu Xiufang was determined to let Dabao take the exam.
Xu Xiufang did not respond directly to this question, but said: "The future of the child is a big deal, and our family needs to discuss it carefully. How about you two teachers leave us your contact information? When we make a decision, I will go to the post office and call you to inform you of the result!"
Teacher Jin murmured to himself, feeling that Xu Xiufang seemed to be rejecting the University of Science and Technology, intentionally or unintentionally.
Doesn't she understand that getting the opportunity to go to Shen City for the exam is almost equivalent to having one foot halfway into the door of the University of Science and Technology?
Unless something major happens, there is no way Dabao will be eliminated!
In order to retain Dabao, a rare genius, Teacher Jin tried almost every possible means, including explicit hints, but Xu Xiufang remained unmoved.
"Well, how about this," Teacher Jin suddenly had an idea and made a new suggestion, "Teacher Jiang and I think the scenery here is charming, and we want to stay for a few more days. Kailin's mother, if you have made up your mind, come to the guesthouse and tell us at any time. We can go to Shen City together. What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Teacher Jiang frowned slightly and seemed to be about to speak, but this time Teacher Jin did not notice his subtle emotions and continued speaking.
"That's great," Xu Xiufang responded with a friendly smile, and offered, "Do you want us to recommend some scenic spots for you to visit?"
Teacher Jin was speechless for a moment, leaving only a meaningful silence and many unspoken thoughts.
After Xu Xiufang introduced several local scenic spots in detail, the group left by car.
Director Zhang had other matters to discuss with He Hairong and was not in a hurry to return, so besides the driver, only Teacher Jin and Teacher Jiang were left in the car.
Teacher Jiang was obviously dissatisfied with the decision made by Teacher Jin without consulting him. His face sank slightly and he asked, "Why do we have to stay here for a few more days?"
Teacher Jin waved his hands quickly, his tone mixed with anxiety and worry, and explained in detail: "I carefully observed Kailin's mother. From her eyes and subtle changes in expression, it seems that she does not agree with our suggestion that Xie Kailin study physics. She also showed a lack of interest in sending him to our school."
