"What? No way, did you hear it wrong?" Aunt Guifen was unconvinced. "Why would Qingyun's name appear on the radio? Don't you always listen to national affairs?"
"How come the International Mathematics Competition isn't a national event?" Qin Youfu tried to recall. "Let me think about it. When Qingyun and the others came to get the letter of introduction, they said they wanted to go to the Beijing Research Institute and go abroad to participate in some kind of competition."
"Yes, it's this international mathematics competition!" Qin Youfu said with certainty.
"How could any competition be so important? It was broadcast on the radio, so people all over the country could hear it? Qingyun participated in a competition, and her name could be heard by people all over the country?" Aunt Guifen still couldn't believe it.
"Don't talk for now, let me listen again!" Qin Youfu asked her to shut up and put the radio directly next to his ear.
His eyes were focused, concentrating all his attention. He actually didn't dare to believe it. If this was true, what did it mean?
This meant that their Luoshui Village had produced a top-notch genius, a genius who was mentioned on a national broadcast and known to the entire nation. What a great honor this must be! Qin Youfu couldn't even imagine it.
Qin Youfu wanted so much that he wanted to get into the radio to listen.
"In the written exam of the mathematics competition, the last question was arguably the most difficult competition question in history. Only Su Qingyun, a member of the Chinese team, was able to answer it. The difficulty of the question was..."
Su Qingyun's name appeared again. Qin Youfu heard it clearly this time and he stayed where he was.
It was true, it was Qingyun's name, he hadn't heard it wrong! The names of the people from their Luoshui Village appeared on the national broadcast!
This, this, this...
Qin Youfu was instantly trembling with excitement. He didn't know what the International Mathematics Competition was, but he'd heard on the news that Qingyun and his team had defeated talents from dozens of countries to win the championship. Qingyun even got the only perfect score! Even someone like him who didn't understand math knew what a great honor this was.
Qin Youfu's eyes were so bright that they were about to spark. Qingyun was from their Luoshui Village. Her fame was equivalent to the fame of their Luoshui Village.
In other words, people all over the country can hear the name of their Luoshui Village on the radio. Even the big leaders in Beijing know about their Luoshui Village!
No, no, no, Qingyun is competing in a foreign country, and people abroad must also know about their Luoshui Village!
The more Qin Youfu thought about it, the hotter his heart became.
"It's really Qingyun." Aunt Guifen also heard Su Qingyun's name clearly this time, with a look of disbelief on her face.
"The Su family must have been blessed with great fortune to have a daughter like Qingyun. They're incredible." Aunt Guifen exclaimed.
Who says it isn't? If Qingyun was born in their family, Qin Youfu would have to worship his ancestors every day.
"By the way, Qingyun and the others haven't come back yet. If you hadn't heard it on the radio, you probably wouldn't have known that Qingyun won the award."
"The Su family probably doesn't know about this either. Youfu, shouldn't you go and tell the Su family about this news right away?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Qin Youfu was so excited that he realized that the Su family probably didn't know about this. "I have to go and tell them quickly."
He got up and ran out.
"Hey, eat your meal first!"
“I can’t wait!”
Qin Youfu's voice floated in the air.
At this moment, the Su family was also having dinner and talking about when Qingyun and the others would come back.
"He's been gone for weeks, why hasn't he come back yet?" Wu Guixiang muttered, "The third brother is the same. He's been away for so long and didn't even send a letter home."
"The capital is so far away. It takes a long time to send a letter. Maybe the person will come back before the letter arrives." Zhang Xinlan said.
"Don't worry, Mom," Li Xiulian said with a smile. "Yunyun has the third brother and his wife to take care of her. She'll be fine."
"Isn't Yunyun going to compete abroad? Can the third brother and the others go with her?" Wu Guixiang knew very well, "If they go abroad, we won't know what happens."
"Yunyun is representing the country in the competition. There will definitely be someone to take care of them. Don't worry." Su Aiguo said.
"I don't know what people abroad eat. Can Yunyun get used to it?" Wu Guixiang was worried about everything she thought about.
"Mom, if you're really worried, let's send a letter."
Wu Guixiang thought for a moment and said, "Sending a letter is too slow. So, Aiguo, send a telegram tomorrow. What's the name of the place Yunyun and the others went to?"
She didn't remember it for a moment.
"Beijing Research Institute." Su Dalin suddenly said.
"Yes, it's the Beijing Research Institute!" Wu Guixiang clapped her hands and looked at her husband. "How come you remember it so clearly?"
"What's not clear about this?"
Wu Guixiang didn't say anything. She knew that although her husband was a man of few words, he was also worried.
"Okay, I'll go tomorrow morning." Su Aituo nodded in agreement.
As he was speaking, Qin Youfu ran in. He was so anxious that he didn't even knock on the door and walked in directly.
The Su family looked at him, puzzled.
"What's wrong, Youfu? You're so anxious." Wu Guixiang asked, then suddenly realized, "Is there any news about our Yunyun?"
"Yes!" Qin Youfu was a little breathless.
"Come on, Youfu, sit down and speak slowly!" Wu Guixiang quickly moved a stool for him and poured him a glass of water.
"Where did the news come from? Did anyone notify you? Or did you receive a letter?" Wu Guixiang asked a series of questions.
"No, neither of them." Qin Youfu waved his hand. "I just heard Qingyun's name on the radio while I was having dinner at home."
Radio? The family looked at each other in bewilderment. How could Yunyun's name appear on the radio?
"What's going on? Youfu, please explain it clearly." Wu Guixiang was anxious.
"My radio is a little broken, so I can't hear the details clearly. It's about that competition Qingyun participated in. She won first place and got full marks."
"Auntie, let me tell you, this radio broadcasts national news. They wouldn't broadcast ordinary things. Not only can I hear it, but anyone who has a radio can hear it."
"Qingyun has finally become famous to the entire nation this time. No, maybe even the whole world knows her name. Of course, our Luoshui Village has also become famous after Qingyun."
The more Qin Youfu spoke, the more excited he became.
Champion? Full marks? The whole nation?
The series of news shocked the Su family. The amount of information was too much and they couldn't recover at all.
