456 Su Taotao steals the spotlight again
Zhou Linglan was overjoyed: "Taotao..."
Su Taotao was very calm, she smiled and nodded: "Thank you for the trip, I'll go down in a while, Mom, and get some candy for Auntie."
Su Taotao bought a lot of candy and planned to take it to the capital as souvenirs, after all, it was a local specialty.
The operator waved his hands and said, "No, no, this is our job, it's our duty. Besides, someone in my family works in the factory, so the candy we gave out during the Chinese New Year is enough."
Su Taotao no longer forced herself and went back to her room to change her clothes before going down to the phone booth.
Less than two minutes after she arrived, the phone rang. The operator picked up the phone with a smile on her face, said a few words and then handed the call to Su Taotao.
It was indeed a call from the Capital University Admissions Office. The general meaning was that Su Taotao was the top scorer in her province and was admitted in the early batch. They asked her if she was interested in studying at their school.
All tuition fees were waived, plus a generous scholarship. Also, knowing that she had a family and children, they helped her solve housing problems, etc.
The conditions are not unattractive.
Capital University was originally Su Taotao's first choice. After all, it was the university she had dreamed of attending all her life.
But at the last minute, she changed her major to Huaqing University, after all, Huaqing's architecture is second to none in the industry.
She once hesitated, but finally gave up her dream school and chose Huaqing University.
When the operator heard that Su Taotao declined the offer from Capital University, his mouth opened so wide that a duck egg could fit in it.
"Su Su Su Su, Director Su, you you you, you don't want to go to Capital University to study?"
Su Taotao smiled and said, "I have a school that I like."
The operator swallowed his saliva and said, "Although I didn't have much education, I know that Capital University is the best university in our country. Director Su, are you rejecting me just like that? Don't you regret it?"
Su Taotao shook her head, her eyes firm: "No regrets."
The operator took a deep breath and pounded his chest a few times: "So, Director Su, which university do you want to go to?"
If you don't even want to go to Capital University, you can go to any of the remaining universities, right?
Su Taotao smiled and said, "Let's talk about it after we receive the acceptance letter."
Su Taotao had made preparations long ago. The address she filled in was the address of Grandma Song's home in the capital. Fu Zhengtu also informed them in advance and asked them to help collect the notice.
Grandpa Hu even laughed and scolded him. Is he so sure that Su Taotao will definitely receive the notice?
The operator looked at Su Taotao's back and kept beating his chest:
"My heart is about to jump out of my chest. If I hadn't heard it with my own ears, how could I believe that someone would even reject Capital University? Director Su is really not an ordinary person."
The news that "Director Su refused to go to Capital University" spread like wildfire and spread throughout the entire base in less than an afternoon.
Su Taotao once again stole the spotlight.
…
The next day, Xia Zhiqiu received the news and immediately came down with little Xia Zhi in his arms:
"Taotao, have you really rejected the Capital University Admissions Office? Have you received the acceptance letter?"
Xia Zhiqiu knew that she didn't do very well in the exam, but everyone has their own extravagant hopes. What if others did worse than her? Wouldn't it be a coincidence that she got lucky?
Su Taotao said: "Yes, I refused. My first wish is Huaqing, not Shuda."
Xia Zhiqiu stared at her, unable to speak for a moment, and only uttered after a long while:
"Why is there such a big difference between people? How did your family's heads grow?"
They are just picking the first university, Huaqing, for fun, while she may not even be able to get into a junior college. Comparing yourself with others can really make you angry.
Logically speaking, anyone who can make a living as a scientist must be smart, but it is rare to find someone as smart as Su Taotao's family.
Su Taotao teased Xiao Xiazhi: "You have too many things to worry about. If you review more, the next exam will not be difficult."
Xia Zhiqiu sighed, "You are a busy factory manager, and you say that I have too many things to worry about. Do you feel ashamed?"
Su Taotao shook her head: "It's different. I don't have to worry about my family's affairs. I spend all my time studying after get off work. You worry about both."
Xia Zhiqiu pinched the little lady's cheeks and said, "There is no other way. The child is too young. I am always worried. Let's see what happens this year. I will put Xia Xia in the Yuhong class. I have applied for a one-year unpaid leave. Regardless of whether I can pass the exam or not, I will give myself another chance."
Su Taotao shook her head: "Didn't I say before that the exams will most likely be held in the summer? You may only have a few months left to review, so hurry up."
Xia Zhiqiu: "I've been reviewing all the time. I don't want to go to a very good university. It's good enough to go to a normal school in the city. I can come back on weekends."
Su Taotao handed her the review materials that she had packed long ago: "They are all here, use them if you see fit."
Xia Zhiqiu: "That's great, Taotao. With these review materials from you, I will definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort."
Su Taotao: "It's not that exaggerated. I have classified them from simple to advanced. You can take it step by step according to your own situation."
Xia Zhiqiu was overjoyed: "I know, thank you Taotao!"
…
Fu Zhengtu brought Chenchen back from the post office, and Chenchen was carrying a lot of bags.
Su Taotao had a headache: "Chenchen, everything at home has to be sent away, why are you still bringing things home?"
Children are free to use their pocket money as they wish and it is up to them to buy whatever they want.
Chen Chen: "Mom, these are gifts for Pangpang, Dongdong, Dundun, Xiaxia, and Xiaochuyi. I will send them away soon and will not take them on the plane!"
Chenchen couldn't wait any longer and called Baibai: "Baibai, let's go, give them gifts and tell them that we are going to the capital by plane!"
Okay, I get it. You should go tell your friends that you are going to take a plane, right?
Fu Yuanhang also went downstairs with the account book and a bag of money.
Yes, a bag of money.
Fu Yuanhang has been acting as a "little housekeeper" for Mumu and Baihua in the past few years. All the money they earned from working part-time to pay for their studies was deposited with Fu Yuanhang. I wonder how much money he has saved for them.
"Sister-in-law, I will also return the money to Mumu and Baihua. I will also return their money to them. I will spend some time with them at noon and will not be back for lunch."
Su Taotao looked at his bulging schoolbag and was a little worried:
"Be careful when you go out with so much money. You should have gone out with your brother in the morning. How about letting your brother take you there?"
Fu Yuanhang smiled and shook his head, saying, "We have a lot of people, Kangzi and Yadan are going too. We don't have much money, so I brought some gifts for them."
Su Taotao smiled and said, "Then go ahead, have a good gathering, and call Xiaomeizi along."
"Together." Xiaomeizi and Baihua are inseparable.
Su Taotao has asked Aunt Zhong to take care of Xiaomeizi when they are not here.
Of course there is no problem with Aunt Zhong.
Fu Yuanhang thought for a moment and said, "Sister-in-law, we want to stay at the teacher's house for one night and come back tomorrow."
It has been a while since I last stayed at Mr. Tang’s house for two days for the last exam, so I need to check it out again before leaving.
"Do you want to bring some food from home?" Su Taotao asked.
Fu Yuanhang shook his head: "No need, sister-in-law, we can buy it in the county."
Despite this, Zhou Linglan still packed a dried duck and a large bag of grilled shrimp for Fu Yuanhang:
"They are a bunch of young boys, all of them are big eaters. Take them with you and have a good meal."
"good."
Fu Yuanhang no longer refused, took it, and walked towards Mumu's house.
