Hu Xingwei had already entered the house, and now felt that he was in soone else’s ho and needed to be more reserved.
He called Lin Chuxia "Aunt Lin" properly.
Sister-in-law Fu grabbed Hu Xingwei’s arm, "What did you just say?"
Hu Xingwei repeated, "My sister’s provincial competition results are out, she got third place in the province. The top five in the province will go to the capital for the finals of the national competition. Mom, my sister can go to the capital."
Sister-in-law Fu slapped her thigh, "Oh my, this is really a blessing from our ancestors, where is your sister? When is she going to the capital, has your dad co back? No, I need to go back and see."
Sister-in-law Fu quickly gathered her things, "Lin, today sister-in-law can’t spend ti with you, I have to go back and see. You know, this girl usually doesn’t seem all that smart, but she really is impressive."
Lin Chuxia was also happy for Sister-in-law Fu, "Intelligence is hereditary, Engineer Hu is so smart, how could Yaping not be smart?"
Hu Xingwei looked at Lin Chuxia with a shocked face, "Aunt Lin, is what you said true? Is intelligence really hereditary?"
"Indeed, there is a genetic basis for heredity."
Hu Xingwei suddenly beca excited, "Mom, Mom, did you hear what Aunt Lin said? Intelligence can be inherited, my dad is so smart, my sister is so smart, I must be smart too. Next ti if I don’t do well in the test, you can’t bla , it’s just that I didn’t perform well, if I did, I could definitely be in the top three of the class."
Sister-in-law Fu was already walking out, hearing this she didn’t even turn her head, "You didn’t perform well once but can you perform poorly every ti? Your sister is in the top three of the class every ti, I don’t expect you to be in the top three, just get into the top ten."
"Mom, why do you underestimate so much, with my intelligence, there’s definitely no problem, Aunt Lin said, my dad is so smart, we must be smart too..."
The two of them talked as they walked out of the courtyard, and you could still hear the mother and son’s voices from far away.
Lin Chuxia lowered her head and touched her abdon.
Qin Yang is also smart, their baby should be very smart too.
She thought of the competition again.
Lin Jiadong and Hu Yaping participated in the sa math competition, so in that case, her brother’s results should also be out.
She didn’t have to think of a way to contact Lin Jiadong, as she received a call from An City.
He used his break ti to run to a small shop outside the school to make the call.
As soon as she answered, she heard Lin Jiadong’s cheerful voice.
"Second sister, my math competition results are out, I’m first in our county, the teacher said I’m second in the province."
Lin Chuxia imdiately sat up straight, "Well done, Jiadong, your second sister is proud of you."
She had heard from Hu Xingwei earlier that the top ten in the province could go to the capital for the national competition.
Lin Jiadong ranked second in the province, he must have this opportunity too.
Lin Jiadong also ntioned going to the capital for the national math competition, confirming Lin Chuxia’s thoughts.
"Second sister, the teacher said we need to go to the province for a week-long training camp, I can visit you in Yan City again."
"Yes, you can stay at your second sister’s place, the room is still available for you."
Lin Chuxia said happily.
"By the way, were there any others from our county who made it into the top ten in the province?"
"Yes, it’s Li Youmin, who you saw last ti, he participated in the competition with , he’s eighth, second sister, I won’t stay at your place, the teacher said they’ll book a guesthouse for us, it’s a week-long, I’m afraid..."
"Afraid your brother-in-law will eat you?"
Lin Chuxia knew her brother’s personality too well.
He’s not soone to bother her with such things.
He’s carefree, and due to family reasons from childhood, he’s never been formal with her as his sister, except he’s afraid of Qin Yang.
As expected, Lin Jiadong chuckled awkwardly, "Brother-in-law is nice."
"It’s okay, when you stay at my place, you’ll have peace and quiet if you want to read at night."
It’s not that Lin Chuxia thought too much.
In her past life, she never heard of Lin Jiadong participating in any nationwide competition, and more importantly, Lin Jiadong was frad and lost his chance for a guaranteed spot.
Now that he has a chance to make a na for himself, she can’t help being cautious.
On the other side, Lin Jiadong had no such thoughts, he wanted to go to his second sister’s place.
Firstly, because his sister cooked delicious food, and secondly, a child’s vanity.
He had a capable sister and wanted to enjoy others’ admiring glances.
Listening to Lin Chuxia, he gladly agreed.
Concerned about the cost of the phone call, the siblings didn’t say much more and hung up after setting a ti.
Qin Yang was coming in from outside and asked, seeing Lin Chuxia’s happy expression, "Whose call was it?"
"Jiadong, he ca second in the provincial competition last ti, he’ll co to the city for training in a few days, then go to the capital for the national competition."
"This kid is quite promising," Qin Yang, having gone to college, naturally knew the weight of such a national math competition, "You have a good eye."
If it hadn’t been for his wife’s insistence on supporting his studies, his young brother-in-law might have been put to work in the food factory to make money long ago by the Lin Family.
"Jiadong’s emotional intelligence isn’t high, but his IQ has always been online. When he was little, he wouldn’t study seriously in class, causing trouble, even getting his palm hit and having parents called, but every exam he scored low especially in math, almost always a hundred percent, at first the teacher thought he was cheating, then gave him a separate test, and he still scored a hundred percent, after which the teacher didn’t bother him anymore, as long as he didn’t disrupt the class."
Talking about this, Lin Chuxia reminisced for a while.
She couldn’t believe she still rembered such a long-ago event.
She rembered when the teacher called for parents, the Lin Family, afraid of being blad by the teacher, asked her to handle the teacher.
\(n)ovel(.)co(m)
The teacher was already angry, but when she saw Lin Chuxia instead of her parents, the anger subsided.
She was five years older than Lin Jiadong and was already attending junior high school in the town, but the primary school teacher still rembered her as top in the class every year.
It was precisely because of this that the teacher was willing to give Lin Jiadong another chance to take the test under the teacher’s watch.
After grading the test, the teacher only said, "It seems intelligence is indeed hereditary, if the sister is good at studying, the brother naturally is too."
The teacher didn’t criticize her and let her go ho, from then on, Lin Jiadong also received the teacher’s favor.
Since then, Lin Jiadong would protect his second sister and would proudly tell her that he benefits because his sister is capable.
In her third year of junior high, Lin Jiayi really couldn’t continue studying, she wanted to drop out and was not content with her pursuing high school. Sohow she talked to their parents, and their mother wanted both of them to drop out. At that ti, only this younger brother stood up for her, opposing their mother.
Of course, the opposition didn’t lead to any result, but she always rembered this matter in her heart.
This is also why, when the Lin Family wanted Lin Jiadong to drop out to work, she supported him to study.
In the past life, you protected your sister, in this life, your sister protects you.
