Chapter 50: Qiao Yu's Dream (Part )
Late at night, Xia Keke in the next room had finished her homework and climbed into bed to rest.

The couple were already lying in bed, unable to sleep, chatting.

“Is the Qiao family’s kid really that amazing? Didn’t they say he couldn’t keep up with the studies, but he easily got first place in the grade?” Liu Lu still found it hard to believe it.

"It should be true. You also saw in the WeChat group that the teacher said there is a new student in the class today. The one who passed the exam must be Qiao Yu." Old Xia answered casually.

“Nonsense, I’m not doubting it, I just feel…feel…” Liu Lu suddenly found that she didn’t know how to describe her feelings at the moment.

It's probably a very confusing feeling.

In fact, they knew the situation of the Qiao family downstairs very well. A single mother was raising a child, and Qiao Xi's health was not very good. They had also thought about helping the couple who depended on each other downstairs to apply for some subsidies from the community and the unit.

After all, the previous generations were all very good friends, and Xia Keke and Qiao Yu played well together when they were young, so the whole family was willing to help out. But the mother and son refused.

They had always thought that the Qiao family's source of income was all from the savings left by Qiao Yu's grandparents and the pensions from their work units. The two even discussed with the older generation that if Qiao Xi came to their family and asked for money, they would lend him no more than 50,000 yuan.

Then try to persuade Qiao Xi that she shouldn't be so obsessed with face and suffer in the end.

Although the subsidy for applying for a poor family is not much, it can at least save Qiao Yu's tuition and Qiao Xi's medical expenses, and ensure the basic living of both of them.

But it has been several years since the family made this decision, and the family downstairs has never asked them for help. According to the news sent back by Xia Keke, the two seem to be doing well. Moreover, they still rely on Qiao Yu to make money, which is very sad.

After all, Qiao Yu is only a fifteen-year-old boy and he is very smart. If he focuses on studying and gets admitted to a prestigious school, he might be able to make a name for himself.

Today, I heard from Coco's grandmother that the two boxes of foreign brand beer that suddenly appeared in the house were sent by Qiao Yu.

I can only say that this family is thoughtful. It’s summer soon, and Mr. Xia really likes to drink two bottles while eating.

With the above knowledge, the sudden addition of information that Qiao Yu casually got the first place in the grade is somewhat shocking.

People who have reached a certain age all know one thing, which is that it is generally difficult for people to be able to do both.

Suddenly, the kid downstairs, who they were very familiar with, broke through this theorem and was able to make money and get first place in the grade? And he was still a minor, this could no longer be described as being smart since childhood, this was so smart that it was almost like a demon!

"It feels unbelievable, right? Me too. Come to think of it, our unit hasn't had a kid admitted to Peking University or Tsinghua University in several years, right?" Old Xia sighed.

Liu Lu next to him didn't say anything, but was thinking to herself why the Qiao family's child always took the wrong path? Either he hung out in the worst class, or he suddenly exploded and suddenly became the first in the grade, which was terrifying!
"Oh, forget it, go to sleep, and get up early tomorrow to make breakfast for Coco."

"Okay, by the way, make one for Qiao Yu as well. He brought up two boxes of wine yesterday."

"In your words?"

……

Qiao Yu never considered what impression his sudden outburst would leave on his neighbors.

Just as he had felt before, the exam was a very simple thing for him. Simple often means no challenge. Naturally, it was difficult to have any emotions such as pride. His biggest dream was to have a nine-digit bank account one day, return home in glory, and treat everyone in the community who had helped his family to a three-day feast at the best hotel in Star City.

If there were more than ten digits in his bank card, he would tear down this dilapidated community and replace it with a new building that could withstand a magnitude ten earthquake.

Not only that, there must also be a spacious and bright underground parking lot, beautiful green belts and spacious fire escape passages.

Qiao Yu had already thought of a name for the community, and he named it after his grandfather, Qiao Guozheng Railway City. Then he built a statue of his grandfather at the entrance of the community, and engraved the life and resume of Comrade Qiao Guozheng on the monument below the statue.

In this way, as long as the community still exists, no one will forget that he has a good grandpa.

Then he would find a way to find his father. Qiao Yu even hoped from the bottom of his heart that his father, grandfather, and grandmother would be healthy and live long. In this way, he could invite the whole family to Xingcheng. He could even pay for them to take the most luxurious and comfortable transportation to Xingcheng.

Then let them see their grandfather's statue and the beautiful new community with their own eyes, and then Qiao Xi will come forward and tell these things to get out of here as soon as possible.

Qiao Yu was also a man who would repay a favor. When that family left, they actually did not forget to leave 3,000 yuan for his mother. This money could be deducted when the family received the travel bill to Xingcheng. He could even generously add another 2,000 yuan in interest.

No? That would be even easier. He was willing to spend ten or even a hundred times the money to hire the best lawyers in the world to fight a transnational lawsuit.

This is a scene that Qiao Yu often dreams of.

The only pity is that for now I can only rely on dreaming. For a child who is only fifteen years old, making money is obviously much more difficult than studying and taking exams.

So even though the whole building had fallen silent, Qiao Yu was still desperately absorbing knowledge in front of the computer.

It is difficult to make money nowadays, so if you want to make quick money, you have to work harder than others. This is Qiao Yu’s perception of the world.

He used to think that studying was not the fastest way to make money at this stage, so he slacked off. But now is a different time. At this moment and in this situation, Qiao Yu feels that he has no right to slack off.

Just like that, after a boring Children's Day, time came to June 7th.

During the day, he specifically asked for leave from his new head teacher, Mr. Han, and did not go to the supplementary class on Saturday. In the evening, he climbed into bed at 10 o'clock and started to sleep.

Because the Xiaolibaba preliminaries officially kicked off at 8 a.m. the next day and lasted until 8 a.m. on Monday, with a total of 48 hours to answer the questions, and it was an open-book exam.

But to be honest, Qiao Yu really didn't know what the point of opening an open book in mathematics was? It couldn't be to look up formulas, right?

Of course, this kind of complaint is meaningless.

At 7:30 the next morning, Qiao Yu got up on time, washed, brushed his teeth, then sat in front of the computer ten minutes early and started watching videos to give his brain a pre-exam massage.

Regarding Xiaolibaba's math competition, his biggest complaint is probably that the scores for entering the finals are not directly announced from the preliminaries, but the passing score for entering the finals is determined based on the results of the preliminaries.

This was obviously too difficult for Qiao Yu, who was used to wanting to take the test completely according to his own wishes when facing a not-so-important exam. He could only choose to get a higher score as possible.
