The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens

Chapter 225 Other People’s Children

"Kyoto University."

Xu Xiufang answered promptly and clearly.

The Department of Pharmacy of Jingshi University is well-known both at home and abroad. Teacher Jin could not hide the worry on his face. How should he convince him now?

Seeing this, Teacher Jiang felt dissatisfied with Xu Xiufang's completely different attitudes towards the two of them. He snorted lightly, looking stubborn.

Although Xu Xiufang did not make a fuss about it, she also had no intention of condoning it. After simply saying goodbye to Teacher Jin, she took Dabao and left.

Teacher Jin tried his best to persuade him, but failed in the end.

He turned around and glared at Teacher Jiang. In his indignation, his words were piercing: "You should be proud of yourself for sending a genius into the arms of your competitor!"

Teacher Jiang's voice gradually became low: "Whether you can go to Peking University is still uncertain."

After all, he personally led the assessment of Xie Kailin and knew his abilities well.

There are many talented children under his care, but in terms of solid foundation and rich knowledge, no one can match Xie Kailin.

A child who is only a teenager and has not received any systematic high school education has a knowledge level comparable to that of the top students in the third year of high school. This undoubtedly proves Xie Kailin's ability to go directly to university.

His college entrance examination score is more than enough to apply to Beijing University!

Teacher Jin became even more annoyed when he saw the lack of confidence in Teacher Jiang's words.

What's the point of regretting now that the person has left? If I had known this would happen, why did I do it in the first place?

Teacher Jiang caught her gaze and said firmly, "You can't blame me entirely. His mother was too short-sighted and didn't understand the importance of physics to the country."

Teacher Jin was full of anger but had no place to vent, so he had to turn around and go back to his office.

However, they did not give up. They still had a glimmer of hope in their hearts, hoping that Dabao would fail in the college entrance examination and then try to win him over again.

……

That day, the sun was lazily shining on the stone road of Xiaoxi Village. Teacher Jiang, with a meticulous expression, was conducting an unconventional test on Dabao.

Liu Ying, a well-known gossip spreader in the village, stood aside, her eyes sparkling with the light of discovering a new world.

As the corners of her mouth inadvertently rose, the news about Dabao spread rapidly in this quiet village like summer wildfire, igniting everyone's curiosity.

Dabao, the usually inconspicuous child, suddenly became the focus of everyone's discussion.

The label of genius was like a spring breeze, blowing to every corner of Xiaoxi Village and creating waves.

On the streets and alleys, whether after dinner or during the slack season, people are always talking about him.

Whenever Dabao walked by, the villagers' eyes would always follow him involuntarily, pointing and talking with admiration and envy.

"Did you see that kid? I heard he's a genius child who's going to study at a university of science and technology!"

Such words have become a common topic of discussion on the streets.

Cultural people, whether they are white-haired old scholars or passionate young people in their youth, all embarked on the journey of looking for Dabao.

They had difficult questions in mind, hoping to get inspiration from this young wise man.

Children are the ones most directly affected by this trend.

Parents set Dabao as a role model for learning and urge their own children to emulate him.

For the older children, especially those who often fail exams, life becomes particularly difficult.

Blame and spurring follow them like shadows. Not only do they have to bear the academic pressure, but they also have to endure the frustration after comparing themselves with Dabao.

Overnight, Dabao's name became a catchphrase among every parent, a living "other people's child".

However, the good times did not last long. When there was no new progress on the news of Dabao's admission to the junior class, rumors once again filled every corner of the village.

Xu Xiufang acted nonchalant about it, but Li's father and Xie's mother couldn't help but be worried about it.

When they learned that their grandson would have a chance to enter the University of Science and Technology, the two elders were so happy that they could not express it in words, and a long-lost smile broke out on their wrinkled faces.

When the news was suddenly cut off, Xie's mother could not contain her anxiety. If it were not for her impatience that urged her to find Xu Xiufang first to ask, Li's father, who usually liked to keep a low profile, would have inevitably gone to her house in person to find out the truth.

Xie's mother arrived, her steps hurried, and the anxiety on her face could not be concealed. "Second daughter-in-law, Dabao..."

Before she finished speaking, Xu Xiufang had already guessed what she was thinking.

"Dabao won't go to the junior class anymore," she answered bluntly, with a firm look in her eyes.

Upon hearing this, Xie's mother stood there with her mouth half open, speechless for a moment.

"I guessed it," Xu Xiufang smiled slightly, as if she had already seen through everything.

A trace of admiration flashed in Xie's mother's eyes, and she was amazed at Xu Xiufang's wit.

Then, she couldn't wait to ask, "Why didn't Dabao go to the junior class? During the test that day, the teachers praised his performance highly. Why did nothing happen suddenly?"

Xu Xiufang smiled faintly and explained: "It was me who decided not to let Dabao go."

Mother Xie was stunned, with mixed feelings.

Although she understood that her second aunt's decision must have its own meaning, the University of Science and Technology was a rare opportunity after all, wouldn't it be a pity to miss it? Just when she was feeling mixed emotions, Xu Xiufang's words were like a shot in the arm: "The University of Science and Technology is good, but we still have the possibility of sprinting to Peking University."

"Kyoto University... can you do it?"

Mother Xie opened her eyes wide in surprise.

"Kyoto University?"

Xu Xiufang smiled and nodded, giving an affirmative answer.

"Kyoto University also has a junior class?"

Mother Xie was so surprised that she was almost speechless.

"No, it's not the junior class," Xu Xiufang shook her head gently, "Dabao's college entrance examination score is already very good, we directly applied for him to Peking University, and the application form has already been submitted."

"Can Dabao pass the exam?"

Xie's mother asked.

"It's very likely," Xu Xiufang answered cautiously yet optimistically.

In Xie's mother's mind, this was almost equivalent to news of victory.

The trust in Xu Xiufang made her so excited that she could hardly control herself.

In her opinion, both the University of Science and Technology and Peking University are academic temples, and the latter, as an institution that she has been familiar with since childhood, weighs even more in her heart.

What's more, obtaining a degree through a formal college entrance examination is a real skill.

Xie's mother was so filled with joy that she almost ran home, and couldn't wait to tell her husband the good news.

On the other side, Gu Xiaoling was sorting firewood in her yard. When she saw Xie's mother hurried out, a smug smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

She contributed a lot to the rumors circulating in the village and was secretly proud of herself.

But when she saw Xie's mother returning with a smile on her face, she couldn't help feeling a little unwilling. She secretly hid the two eggs that she had taken from Xie's mother's chicken coop in her arms, planning to use this as an excuse to repair her relationship with Zhou Qifeng and Gu Tingting.

It's a pity that her wishful thinking might have been wrong.

Gu Tingting is not someone who compromises easily, she is good at making careful calculations.
