Training the Heavens

Chapter 153 Junior Class

"You don't know yet?" The neighbors were surprised to see his expression, and then they all started talking about what had happened to Zhuang Tuanan during this period.

"Teacher Yao noticed Tunan reading a different book during class, and when she went over to check, she realized it was a high school math textbook."

"She gave Tunan math problems from this year's college entrance exam, and he scored 71 points."

".The school teachers organized an exam specifically for Tunan, and he was able to get full marks on most of the questions on the high school entrance exam."

"Teacher He, who was sent down from Jiangsu Normal University, gave him extra lessons and said Tunan was very talented in mathematics and could become a scientist in the future."

"Many people say Tunan is the Ning Bo of Suzhou. I heard that a reporter from the city newspaper is planning to come over for an interview in the next few days."

The more Zhuang Chaoying listened, the more confused he became. Tunan really had this talent? Why hadn't I noticed it before? But if that were true, then Zhuang Chaoying would have a truly extraordinary talent. He immediately put the issue of grading the Gaokao papers behind him and pulled out the lesson plan, copying down a few exercises for the Gaokao students. "Tunan, try these and see how many points you can get."

"Yes, Tuanan, do it quickly." The neighbors also watched with wide eyes. It was a rare opportunity to see a genius doing the questions with their own eyes.

Unexpectedly, Zhuang Tunan ignored him and said, "No."

"Why?" Zhuang Chaoying was very unhappy. Why are you disobeying me again?

"Mom was so tired from moving, and you came back without even saying how hard it was. I'm angry!" Zhuang Tunan turned his head away and didn't even want to look at him. He still had some resentment in his heart, and he tried every means to be a genius, not to show off to Zhuang Chaoying.

Song Ying glanced at Lin Wufeng, who nodded slightly. The two families lived in the same courtyard. He had been there since Zhuang Chaoying came back, and he had indeed not heard Zhuang Chaoying say thank you for your hard work to Huang Ling. He felt that Zhuang Chaoying had done something wrong in this regard.

"Didn't my unit send someone over?" Zhuang Chaoying retorted subconsciously.

Zhuang Tunan was now more reasonable. "That day you picked up your things and left. If I hadn't stopped you, would you have thought of asking your colleagues for help? And if they help, then we can just sit back and do nothing. Mom cooked for them, and Xiaoting and I helped clean up. We were exhausted after a busy day."

Lin Wufeng looked at Zhuang Tunan and couldn't help but think of his childhood. His father passed away early, and like Zhuang Tunan, he also tried every means to protect his mother and younger siblings. Little Tunan now is just like him back then.

But at that time he had lost his father and had to shoulder this burden, while Zhuang Chaoying was fine, so why did their family become like this?
After this happened, the neighbors felt embarrassed to stay any longer, so they all made excuses to leave. Lin Wufeng also took his family back to his house. Zhuang Chaoying was annoyed by the ridicule and simply went back to his house to sleep.

Lin Wufeng couldn't help but shake his head when he saw this scene in the room, "Teacher Zhuang didn't say it was hard work in the end."

"He doesn't act like a boss. Well, let me tell you, a lot of people in our factory said that some time ago." Song Ying whispered to him and told him about what happened that day when Zhuang Tunan overturned the table.

At first, only the people in the tube-shaped building knew about what happened that day. When they got to work, they told their colleagues about it. Word spread from one person to another, and gradually, almost the entire cotton mill knew about it.

Song Ying has a hot-tempered personality. She can't stand old people who can't tell right from wrong, and she can't stand Zhuang Chaoying who wrongs his daughter-in-law to please the old man. "If you ask me, what Teacher Zhuang did was really wrong. It's just that Sister Ling has a good personality. If it were me, there would be no need to overturn the table for Tunan!" "Tunan really has a hard time." Lin Wufeng couldn't help but feel lucky that his mother was knowledgeable and sensible and didn't have these troubles.

When he woke up in the morning, Zhuang Chaoying had already gone to school. Since the resumption of the college entrance examination, all high schools have become busy. There are morning readings in the morning and evening self-study classes in the evening. Teachers and students wish they could stay in school 24 hours a day.

Zhuang Tuanan was very happy. Out of sight, out of mind. He felt particularly comfortable not seeing Zhuang Chaoying. After breakfast, he helped Huang Ling wash the dishes, then took Zhuang Xiaoting to school. Lin Dongzhe also followed. From that day on, the team going to and from school every day increased from two people to three.

When they came back at noon, Zhuang Chaoying wanted to test his math skills, but Zhuang Tunan still ignored her and said, "I'm sleepy and want to take a nap."

After returning from evening self-study, Zhuang Tunan went to bed again, which made Zhuang Chaoying extremely depressed. However, he still felt that the child was ignorant and still did not think about why the child treated him like this.

Soon, the time for the final exam arrived. Zhuang Tunan got full marks in all subjects, even Chinese. Even if some words had different pronunciations, he could remember them after just reading the textbook once.

After the last class meeting, they were able to have their winter vacation. When they came out of the classroom, He Chengxuan was waiting outside with a smile on his face. "Tunan, let's go to my house. I'll find you something delicious and tell you something."

"Okay." Zhuang Tunan agreed. He first went to the second grade to find Zhuang Xiaoting and asked her to go home with Lin Dongzhe, and then left with He Chengxuan.

When they got home, He Chengxuan found a lot of snacks for Zhuang Tunan. Zhuang Tunan just tried one and that was it. These things were hard to buy. He Chengxuan also had children at home. If he ate them, He Chengxuan's children would have nothing to eat.

"Tuanan, how are you planning to spend your winter vacation?" He Chengxuan asked with a smile.

"Take care of my younger sister, help my mother with housework, and then continue studying." Zhuang Tunan answered truthfully.

He Chengxuan was even happier when he heard this. "Okay, okay, you have finished learning high school math now. If you don't mind, come to my house every day and I will teach you college math."

"Isn't this a bit too much trouble for you?" Zhuang Tunan asked politely.

"No trouble, I'm so happy to have a student like you!" He Chengxuan was very happy. This child was not only smart, but also polite. I wonder how many good deeds he had done in his previous life to have such a good student.

"I'll tell you another story. Ning Bo from Jiangxi came to Beijing a few days ago and played two games of Go with Vice President Fang, winning both times. Vice President Fang was very happy to see such a talented young man. He thought it would be a waste for such a young man to go through junior high school and high school and then take the college entrance exam."

"A few years ago, Nobel Prize winner Tsung-Dao Lee visited China. You might not know what the Nobel Prize is, but that's okay. All you need to know is that Mr. Lee was a remarkable scientist. Oh, and Mr. Lee's ancestors were also from Suzhou, so you're from the same hometown!"

"Mr. Li made a suggestion to Comrade Wu Hao, suggesting that some young people with potential for development be selected to enter university early. Comrade Wu Hao asked the relevant departments to begin preparations, but later on, for some reason, the process was delayed."

"Now that Ning Bi's case has happened, there's a reason to start a junior class. As far as I know, USTC will officially launch a junior class soon. If you're interested in this, I can write a letter of recommendation for you."
