The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens

"This is simply a fantasy!"

Teacher Jiang couldn't help but sneer, his brows full of disbelief, "Our University of Science and Technology is the palace of knowledge that many students dream of. How could anyone be unwilling to step through this door?"

Upon hearing this, Teacher Jin lowered his eyes slightly. After a moment of silence, he added in a soft but firm voice, "Did you notice that when she talked face to face with us two teachers from the University of Science and Technology, her attitude was not as enthusiastic as it should be? Even the most basic polite smile seemed a bit mechanical and perfunctory."

As teachers in the admissions office of a university of science and technology, they were always admired and respected by people from all walks of life wherever they went. And during this visit, even though Xu Xiufang's reception was attentive on the surface, compared with the enthusiasm of the families in the past, the "indifference" was particularly eye-catching.

Teacher Jiang was stunned and denied it firmly: "It is absolutely impossible for anyone to refuse the olive branch from HKUST. When we first met, she was smiling, but once she realized how satisfied we were with Xie Kailin, her attitude began to subtly change."

Teacher Jin frowned slightly. She clearly remembered that it was at the moment when Teacher Jiang suggested that Xie Kailin study physics that Xu Xiufang's expression began to gradually turn cold.

Although Teacher Jiang is at the same level as her in terms of position, as the head of the admissions team, her position is actually slightly higher.

Looking at Teacher Jiang's stubborn profile, Teacher Jin felt a thousand twists and turns in his heart, and finally chose to swallow back what he was about to say.

However, Dabao's little face, full of wisdom, quietly emerged in Teacher Jin's mind.

She would never let go of such a child with sharp thinking and unlimited potential.

After all, losing such a future star is not only a loss for the school, but also a great regret for the country and society!

Under Teacher Jin's unremitting persistence and earnest persuasion, Teacher Jiang finally compromised. Although his face was still gloomy, he reluctantly agreed to stay in the county guesthouse for a while.

At the same time, on the other side, Director Zhang and Liu Ying were full of curiosity about Dabao. They circled around him several times, and finally left at Xu Xiufang's half-joking urging, feeling unsatisfied.

Xie's mother was extremely excited. After busying herself showing the love of an elder, she said goodbye reluctantly.

The crowd dispersed, and the surroundings returned to silence. Xu Xiufang gently called Dabao over, her eyes gentle and deep: "Dabao, do you still want to go to that junior class now?"

"I don't want to go."

Dabao answered promptly and clearly.

Xu Xiufang looked surprised and asked, "Weren't you happy to go before?"

"I did want to go there at first," Dabao explained earnestly, "because I wanted to meet friends there who were just as curious about the world as I was. But if that meant giving up my hobbies and studying a major I didn't like, then I wasn't willing to do that."

It was obvious that he had inadvertently overheard the conversation between his mother and Teacher Jiang outside the door, and those words touched his heart.

Xu Xiufang had mixed feelings. Her two children were so steadfast in their pursuit of their dreams, which made her feel proud but also distressed.

"Then haven't you always hoped to find a friend as smart as you?"

She asked again.

Dabao shook his head, his eyes flashing with determination: "What I am looking for is a partner who shares the same ideals and pursuits as me!"

Xu Xiufang was stunned for a moment, then she understood.

It turned out that when Dabao first mentioned "like-minded", he did not simply mean that he wanted to find a few smart friends to play with. She herself misunderstood his idea.

"In that case, Mom respects your decision."

Xu Xiufang said softly.

Dabao has been so sensible since she was young that it is heartbreaking. She does not allow anyone or anything, including herself, to become an obstacle that deprives her of pursuing her dreams.

"Then let's give up the option of the junior class."

Xu Xiufang continued, "Since you have already taken the college entrance examination, we can choose to study at Jingshi University in the future!"

"Kyoto University?"

Dabao opened his eyes wide, full of anticipation.

"That's right!"

Xu Xiufang responded with a smile, "The School of Pharmacy of Jingshi University has a long history and is one of the top pharmaceutical education bases in the country with a profound academic foundation!"

In fact, she had already noticed Dabao's strong interest in pharmacy, and had specially looked up relevant professional information from many universities. She found that the pharmacy major at Jingshi University was unique in the field and particularly attractive.

"Really? Then I must go there and take a look!"

As soon as Dabao finished speaking, his eyes were already dancing with uncontrollable excitement.

"It's just that the students there are generally much older than you. Would you like me to consider enrolling in that major and studying with you?"

Xu Xiufang suggested, feeling sorry for her son.

The air seemed to freeze at this moment. Dabao was rarely silent, and his eyes unconsciously flushed.

Xu Xiufang's heart tightened, and she asked with concern, "What's wrong, Dabao? Is there sand in your eyes, or are you feeling unwell somewhere?"

"mom……"

Dabao's voice was a little choked up, "You're so good to me!"

Xu Xiufang couldn't help but laugh when she heard this: "Just for this? I'm your mother, if I don't love you, who else can I love?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words were spoken, Dabao's eyes became even moister.

Dabao, who usually regards himself as the eldest brother and always behaves maturely and steadily in front of his younger brothers and sisters, took the initiative to hug his mother's arms this time, and leaned his little head lightly on her shoulder, revealing a rare innocence for this age.

A warm feeling surged in Xu Xiufang's heart. She gently stroked his head, her eyes full of tenderness.

Dabao sniffed and said seriously, "Mom, I don't care how much older my classmates are than me. They can't influence me. But I can't let you give up too much for me. You should pursue the major you love and live the life you really want to live!"

Xu Xiufang was choked by Dabao's words for a moment, and she couldn't find the right words to respond for a long time.

Indeed, deep down in her heart, she does not feel that she is so extraordinary or irreplaceable. Those fantastic experiences of traveling through time and space have long been settled into a tranquil lake deep in her heart with the passage of time. Now, she only desires to enjoy an ordinary and real life like a leisurely salted fish.

Her greatest wish in this life is the well-being of her family, the harmony between husband and wife, the sensible children, and the trivial and warm little happiness in life. As for other things, she has nothing else to ask for.

But if you really want to pick out a wish that has yet to be realized in this seemingly perfect life, it must be to accumulate wealth!

Because only with a sufficient economic foundation can she control her own pace of life more freely and casually and pursue every little desire in her heart.
