"Not only did the kids pass the elentary graduation exam, they also passed the middle school graduation exam. Then, just this June or July, they passed their high school graduation exam. Since they have a high school diploma, isn’t it normal for them to take the college entrance exams?!"
"Are you suggesting that the kid is a genius?"
Even though the school system has changed over the years, even if it’s been shortened, it still takes nine years to go from elentary to high school graduation. How could the director’s eldest grandson have possibly learned nine years of material in five years, even if he started talking four years ago and began learning elentary school textbooks back then?
"Is it strange that Song Xuan is a genius? Besides, the kid used to simply ignore others and wouldn’t talk, but that doesn’t an he was a fool. Maybe Comrade Qi has been teaching his grandson the schoolwork at ho all along!"
"I think it’s plausible."
"I agree. In recent years, Song Xuan has participated in several music competitions, winning first place each ti, and it’s even been reported in the newspapers. If the kid wasn’t smart, could he win big prizes repeatedly?"
Fang Ju unknowingly joined the conversation as she stepped out into the courtyard, just in ti to hear the discussion about Song Xuan. She couldn’t help but say, "My Xiao Chong is taking the college entrance exams this year. Early this morning, he checked the scores and told not only did our compound produce a perfect score science champion, but there was another high score too. Do you want to know who they are?"
"Don’t keep us in suspense. Tell us quickly."
Soone urged.
Fang Ju said, "Xiao Kang is the perfect score science champion, and Song Xuan’s score was thirty-eight points less than Xiao Kang’s. His score is still ten points higher than my Xiao Chong’s, which makes my Xiao Chong envious!"
Soone asked, "So your Xiao Chong got into college?"
"Above the undergraduate line."
Fang Ju responded with a hint of pride.
Honestly, with her son standing out among millions of exam-takers and getting into a good college, she was particularly happy. She planned to invite friends and family to celebrate at a state-run restaurant once the acceptance letter ca!
She wasn’t jealous of others doing better than her son. After all, that’s their talent, and being jealous won’t help. Instead, it’s better to celebrate her own child’s achievents and make the whole family happy.
"Does your Xiao Chong know how Teacher Wen’s Xiao Su did on the exams?"
Soone asked Fang Ju.
"Above the specialized college line, but Xiao Chong said Xiao Su missed the undergraduate line by less than ten points."
Fang Ju said, "But getting into college is already remarkable."
"Indeed, this year nearly six million took the college entrance exams, and reportedly only under three hundred thousand were accepted."
"Those numbers show how fierce the competition was for this year’s exams!"
"Who wouldn’t agree?!"
Regarding these discussions, Kang Li didn’t know, as she and Luo Yanqing were just crossing the street. Seeing Min Rui standing with the twins at the school gate, Kang Li couldn’t help but feel sorry. She whispered to Luo Yanqing, "We’re late."
"It’s okay."
Luo Yanqing softly reassured her.
But still, the two hurried their steps towards Min Rui and the twins.
"Dad! Mom!"
Min Rui and the twins’ eyes lit up.
And the twins quickly slipped out of their brother’s grasp and rushed with tiny steps into Kang Li’s arms.
"Did you have fun at school this afternoon?"
Kang Li caught the twins, nearly losing her balance due to the montum they brought.
Fortunately, Luo Yanqing was quick to steady Kang Li from behind.
