Are you saying you think recognizing this grandpa is amazing, or that the grandpa you recognized is amazing?”
“Both are amazing!
After all, not just anyone can recognize this grandpa!”
“Though, honestly, your dad’s a piece of work, but recognizing a random grandpa like this…”
“My grandpa is my academician teacher’s teacher, currently the number one figure at the School of Mathematics at Huaqing University, a legendary figure in the dostic mathematics community.
So now, not only do I have a teacher at Yanbei University looking after , but I also have a grandpa from Huaqing University.
In a ga, that’s like stacking two layers of legendary armor.
Isn’t that aweso?”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk, and that useless dad of yours doesn’t deserve such a dad either!”
“What a great day, can we not ntion that man?
Is it that after I left, no one argues with you, and being alone at ho is too lonely?
How about you co to Beijing instead.”
“Alright, alright, without you to argue with , I might live ten years longer.
But indeed, we shouldn’t ntion him, that’s my bad.
You make your own decisions about your matters, no need to report to .
Anyway, I figure wherever you go, you won’t suffer a loss.
But I’m not going to Beijing.
You’ve got a grandpa there; I wouldn’t even know how to address them if I go over.
Don’t worry, Old Xia’s family upstairs is taking good care of .
By the way, now the whole community knows you got into Yanbei University, and everyone who sees says they could tell you were different from other kids since childhood, especially smart.
Congratulations, Qiao Yu, you beca that ‘other people’s child’ they always talk about in just fifteen years.”
“Heh…” Qiao Xi rare complint made Qiao Yu laugh, and he said, “This is just the beginning!
Oh, by the way, speaking of being smart, mom, was there ever a mont when I was little that you felt I was a bit unnaturally smart?”
“Well, honestly, Qiao Yu, do you think you’ve ever been normal?
What normal kid can keep a bunch of old folks your grandpa’s age entertained and happy every day?
What normal fifth-grader doesn’t shed a tear when their closest grandpa passes away but instead wakes their mom in the middle of the night, seriously proclaiming that they will take care of the family in the future?
Do you know what’s most amazing?
You actually did it!
So, I’ve always thought you were miles away from being normal since you were little!”
Looking back, Qiao Yu suddenly realized that he’s always been a bit different from his classmates since childhood, indeed not all that normal.
Case closed…It’s not that Senior Brother is too weak, it’s mainly because he’s too strong!
“Ah, it seems like it’s mainly because my IQ is too high, and I just assud others’ IQs should be as high too, and bad grades were just a lack of effort.
Ah, I shouldn’t have bullied that fool in the group.”
“What did I tell you?
Try not to stir trouble outside, calling soone a fool is causing trouble.”
“I’m serious.
I’ve been studying a series of papers recently, and today one of my PhD senior brothers told he couldn’t understand them.
You don’t even know how strange I felt when he said that.
I’ve always thought that those proofs have the processes clearly written there, and couldn’t figure out why he couldn’t understand them.”
“Isn’t there a possibility that he was just thinking too rigidly?
You might just be younger, with a more flexible mind?
Or maybe although he’s not great at reading papers, he’s way better than you in other areas.
You may be quite smart, but you’re still human, right?
Aren’t people’s IQs generally similar?”
“That makes so sense.”
“Besides, I actually didn’t think math was all that hard when I was little.
At least in high school, I always ranked second in math exams in the entire school.”
“Oh?
Then who ranked first in the whole school?”
“First, hmm, it was so guy surnad Feng.
He always got full marks!
I don’t rember him ever ssing up!”
“Cough, cough…”
“So you being smart doesn’t really matter to ; what’s most important is you don’t get corrupted.
No matter what position you end up in in the future, I won’t allow your moral baseline to be lower than a certain Mr.
Feng’s.”
“Don’t worry, my character is solid!
But mom, your grades were so good back then, you could’ve easily had a kid and then retaken the college entrance exam after a year of prep.”
“Firstly, the environnt back then was different from now; secondly, I just wasn’t in the mood to study at the ti.”
“How about this, you start studying again now, since the college entrance exam doesn’t reject adult learners anymore, and in three years, you and Keke could sign up for the exam together.
Then you both could co to Beijing, and I’ll try hard to graduate in three years and beco your teacher.”
“Qiao Yu, do you hear what you’re saying!”
“Alright, I’m kidding about being your teacher, but I’m serious about you studying at ho to participate in the college entrance exam.
I left my first-year high school textbooks at ho for you to read.
Later, I’ll ask Senior Brother to help get so review materials, and you can study with Keke.
You need sothing to do at ho, right?
Otherwise, it would be boring to be cooped up every day!”
The other side was silent for a long ti.
Qiao Yu thought it was unlikely they would agree, but was surprised when his mom softly asked, “Do you really think I can do it?”
“Of course, you learn English quickly!
And you were always second in high school math exams; it’s just relearning it, really.
By the way, I suggest you focus on physics, chemistry, and biology for more options.
And those three subjects are easy, as long as you understand them.
They’re not tiring to study, and only chemistry requires more morization.
Although these three subjects need lab exams, it’s no big deal.
I’ll talk to Principal Zhang, and you can go to Railway First Middle School to do experints whenever you need, and he’ll definitely agree.”
“Should I give it a try?”
“Try what?
What did Grandpa say?
If you want to do sothing, and it’s the right thing to do, you need to act imdiately, a minute’s delay can change your mind!
So move now!
Here’s the plan; I’ll plan a study schedule for you later, and you’ll start self-study this evening.
Hmm, tonight is math self-study!
Quickly go to my room and find my math books, see if you rember the problems.
If you’ve forgotten, you’ll have to start from middle school textbooks.”
“Okay, I’ll head to your room to study later.
But you don’t need to make a schedule.
I’ll just have Mommy Keke send Keke’s class schedule, and I’ll follow it roughly.”
“That works too.
You have to try to concentrate as much as possible, but studying isn’t like cooking; if you occasionally drift off, it’s no big deal.
Snap back and continue reading, and who knows, studying might increase your focus.
You don’t need to aim for Yanbei or Huaqing, anyway.
When I ca earlier, I saw a normal university nearby, which is also quite close.”
“Alright, I’ll go read now.
If there’s anything I don’t understand, I’ll ask Keke when she cos back on the weekend, so don’t worry.”
“No, aren’t you supposed to ask ?”
“Besides being sowhat okay at math, did you learn any other high school knowledge?”
Though it made sense, Qiao Yu still felt a bit disdained and righteously retorted, “Please remove the words ‘sowhat’ and ‘okay’!
Thank you!”
“Hanging up, going to read.”
“Yeah, go ahead.”
After hanging up the phone, Qiao Yu thought for a bit and decided to ask Senior Brother Chen to get him so basic physics books tomorrow.
Forget about chemistry, but physics is worth learning.
After all, whether it’s Grandmaster’s research or Schulz’s papers, they all involve mathematical physics.
It’s not about regaining face in front of a mom preparing for the college entrance exam, but realizing from a conversation with Senior Brother Chen that the breadth and depth of knowledge are equally important.
Anyway, his relationship with Senior Brother Chen has beco very close now.
Especially when he parted ways with Senior Brother Chen today and saw how excited he looked, Qiao Yu felt Senior Brother probably feared Qiao Yu wouldn’t ask him for anything.
One can only say that even though the teacher’s relationship with Grandmaster isn’t good, Grandmaster’s na is still very useful.
