That evening, the news on television reported that Sanwa and others had won awards and brought glory to the country.
Because the third child was the gold medalist, he was given a close-up shot.
Zhao Qinglan and the others watched the news on TV and were all happy for Sanwa.
The next day, Sanwa's image also appeared in the newspapers of the capital.
Even reporters came to interview Sanwa.
But Sanwa was such a lazy person that he refused with another excuse.
Most of the foreign athletes and their coaches who came to Beijing for the competition were visiting China for the first time. Even after the competition ended, they didn't leave immediately but instead explored the city.
Among the teachers and staff leading the team are professors from prestigious foreign universities.
Sanwa had just finished dealing with the reporters when another foreign professor extended an invitation to him, wanting him to study at his university.
Many prestigious universities abroad place great importance on employable talents.
Many universities, including Princeton, have extended invitations to the three children.
Meanwhile, many domestic universities became even more competitive in vying for Sanwa after learning that foreign universities had extended offers to him.
Although China lags behind many developed countries in some areas of academic research, they still want to retain as many of their country's talents as possible.
In scientific research across various disciplines, the younger the individual, the greater their potential and future development space.
In the eyes of many teachers and mentors, Sanwa was a promising talent for physics research.
Erwa returned to Haishi the day after his younger brother won the gold medal.
He claimed he couldn't let work interfere with his work, but in reality, he was missing his girlfriend whom he hadn't seen for several days. However, even if Zhao Qinglan knew, she was too lazy to expose him.
The children in their family already have a very loving and harmonious relationship, and she, as their mother, tries to interfere as little as possible with how they interact in private.
After spending a few more days in Beijing with Sanwa, Zhao Qinglan felt the enthusiasm of various universities.
She was naturally happy that everyone wanted her son, and she would call her husband to describe how outstanding their son was and how many universities wanted him to attend.
But when she was with her son, she remained calm.
"Sanwa, don't feel pressured. Mom will say it again: if you want to go, go. You can go anywhere. If you don't want to go, we'll continue to high school and take the college entrance exam later."
Sanwa grinned. "Mom, why would I refuse such a good thing as skipping a year of high school and going to college early? Right now, I'm just hesitating about which school to go to."
After weighing the pros and cons, he felt that it would be a waste of time to study for another year of senior high school. He would not learn anything new in senior year; it would just be reviewing the knowledge points from the first and second years of high school. The ultimate goal was still the college entrance examination.
The purpose of the college entrance examination is to get into university.
He didn't steal or rob; he won over universities with his competition results and they were willing to admit him early. So why did he insist on taking the college entrance exam and competing with others for a spot?
However, he received so many invitations from universities that he began to hesitate.
Especially with institutions like Princeton.
Having studied physics books and materials for a long time, Princeton University was no stranger to him, as it was home to many physics and mathematics giants.
He was genuinely interested in physics, and how could he not be tempted by the offer to go to Princeton?
Can I go in my freshman year?
Zhao Qinglan was happy to know that her son was willing to go to university early, and she had no opinion on which school he should attend.
"No rush, think it over carefully."
In her spare time, she continued to take her in-laws sightseeing and shopping, and even introduced Wei Hong to Yi Ningxiang.
Xiao Duo was taken by her fiancé Zhou Yunting to the house he had bought in Beijing. While the two of them played with Lan Song, they also tidied up and decorated the house, making it look more like a warm home.
Xiaoduo was overjoyed when her younger brother won the gold medal at the International Mathematical Olympiad.
Knowing that her younger brother was struggling with where to go to university, she offered him a lot of advice.
After all, the older sister had lived abroad for several years, and the third child listened attentively to her.
He wasn't an indecisive person, and he quickly figured it out.
"I've made up my mind. I'll go to university in China first, but I'll definitely go abroad eventually."
If his older sister can complete a four-year undergraduate degree in three years, and he works twice as hard, he should be able to graduate in even less time. Then he can go abroad to study for further education.
Once she decided to attend university in China, Sanwa quickly chose the school she wanted to attend.
After considering the strengths of various schools in physics, the third child ultimately chose Tsinghua University, which was in constant competition with her sister's alma mater.
The admissions office at Tsinghua University was overjoyed after he gave his reply.
The admissions officers from other universities were fine, but the one from Kyoto University was rather disappointed.
The person in charge originally thought that since Sanwa's older sister, Xiaoduo, was a graduate of their school, the probability of Sanwa choosing their school was the highest. However, they still missed out.
Even if the third child makes the decision, he won't be able to start school until the end of summer vacation and the start of the fall semester.
For this reason, he even made a special trip to Tsinghua University.
During his stay in Beijing, because Sanwa had just been featured in newspapers and on television, the locals who recognized him were incredibly enthusiastic when he went out, treating him like a hero.
As for the food and drinks sent to the three children, there were even more.
Because of this enthusiasm, Sanwa urged his mother to go home, as he simply couldn't resist.
The Zhou family also learned about Sanwa winning the award. Zhou's father and grandfather were overjoyed. Whenever the grandfather went out, he would boast to his old friends that Sanwa was his future granddaughter-in-law's brother, and that he was practically family.
Seeing that her son was annoyed by the enthusiasm on the streets every day, and since she had been in the capital for quite some time, Zhao Qinglan agreed to her son's request and headed back home.
As for Xiaoduo, Zhao Qinglan didn't care; her daughter could go wherever she wanted.
Xiao Duo and her boyfriend Zhou Yunting have discussed it and decided not to consider marriage for the time being. Although her boyfriend is considerate, Xiao Duo does not want him to give up his overseas company and career for her.
Urged on by her, Zhou Yunting also planned to return to the United States in ten days or half a month to handle official business.
Knowing that her son would be returning soon, Yi Ningxiang stayed behind. While her son and daughter-in-law spent their days together, she took people to visit other provincial capitals.
When you go back to China, you can't just visit the capital.
Her boyfriend is going back to the US in a few days, and at this crucial moment, Xiaoduo couldn't bear to go home with her mother, so she stayed in Beijing instead.
She went back after her boyfriend left.
Li Huai left for a few days to attend his daughter's engagement ceremony. Not long after he returned, his son won a gold medal at the International Mathematical Olympiad.
Even in Guangzhou, many people saw the news reports.
Sanwa had always lived with his parents in the military compound. When he saw the new recruits, they all came to ask Li Huai about it, which made Li Huai very proud and smug.
But when he saw that his wife was coming, only his youngest son was with her, and his daughter had stayed in the capital for her fiancé, he started to feel jealous again.
They're not even married yet, and their daughter is already...
Zhou Yunting, who was being nagged and complained about, sneezed countless times.
