Chapter 363: What He Actually Has His Eye on Is Song Chu
Song Chu and Gu Yue discussed the matter of filling out their college applications.
She still decided to apply to Kyoto Agricultural University, while Gu Yue would go to Hua University. Both of the teachers who valued and took care of him were professors at Hua University.
However, this time he wouldn’t apply to the Physics Department, but rather to Materials Science and Engineering.
The two agreed that once Song Chu received her acceptance letter, they would go to the capital.
Seeing her parents return, Song Chu said goodbye to Gu Yue and hung up the phone.
As soon as she put down the phone, Tang Feng hugged her, “Yaobao, you really are Mom’s good daughter. You actually got the top score in the exam.”
Song Chu could feel her joy and excitement, and said with a smile, “Of course, I’ve been as smart and capable as Mom since I was a child.”
These words made Tang Feng’s face beam with pride. “My Yaobao takes after me the most. We’ll go back to the village tomorrow, and let your uncles and the others know and be happy too.”
This was a big deal for their Tang family.
Song Youfu: “…” His daughter was clearly from their Old Song family, she should take after him.
But he only dared to mutter this in his heart. If he said it out loud, he would be disciplined by the tigress.
Standing not far away, Song Lao San said with a grin, “Mom, I also got third place in the province.”
Tang Feng looked at him with some disdain. “I know you got third place in the province. What’s there to brag about? No wonder you look like your dad. If you were as smart as me, you would have gotten the top score like Yaobao.”
She had heard people say that children’s genes came from their parents. Since her Yaobao was so smart and capable, she definitely inherited her genes.
The other dumb sons must have inherited their dumb old man’s genes.
Song Youfu, Song Lao San: “…”
Tang Feng hugged her daughter and praised her lavishly some more, then went out for a stroll.
Of course, she went to show off her daughter. The neighbors were also very supportive, praising her with envy for raising such a good daughter.
Song Youfu also praised Song Chu a lot, and then went to brag to his old friends nearby. If he didn’t go out and brag and enjoy everyone’s admiration and praise, he would feel bad.
As for Song Lao San, he was completely ignored by his parents. This was the treatment of boys in the Old Song family.
Song Lao San watched his parents leave the house in high spirits, and with a look of utter despair, he couldn’t help but ask, “Little Sister, am I really their biological child?”
Song Chu patted him with a smile, “Third Brother, you look so much like Dad, you’re definitely their biological child. Besides, Second Brother and Fourth Brother have also asked this question. You’ll get used to it.”
Song Lao San: “…” Why did the first sentence sound even more heartbreaking? Although he looked like his dad, he thought he was quite smart.
Of course, compared to Little Sister, he was indeed far behind.
“I’m going back first. Your Third Sister-in-Law and the others don’t know my score yet.” He felt that he should go to his wife’s family to find a sense of existence.
Song Chu nodded, “Go ahead, go ahead.”
Song Lao San straightened his hair and clothes, and walked out of the house looking very refined. He didn’t go to his wife’s family first, but went to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative to pick up his wife from work.
He deliberately mentioned in public that his sister had gotten the top score in the exam, and he had gotten third place.
This also made Guo Chun the target of envy and jealousy from her colleagues.
They used to gossip behind her back that Guo Chun had married a phoenix man from the countryside. Although Song Lao San was good-looking and had a good job, his biggest shortcoming was that he often subsidized his family. Her family’s conditions were so good, it was foolish to choose such a person.
But now the Song family had completely turned around. Originally, they felt that Song Chu was already capable enough, being famous in the county for her ability to turn things around in the field of economics. All the factories she guided made money and developed well, and then she was transferred to work in the provincial capital.
They didn’t expect her to be even more capable. As soon as the Gaokao resumed, she got the top score, and even Song Lao San got third place in Nan Province.
This was incredible. Not to mention how great Song Chu’s future prospects would be, just Song Lao San alone would definitely be much better off after graduating from university.
They heard that the other two sons of the Old Song family were still in the capital doing business. The whole family had risen up.
They had to say that Guo Chun was better at choosing a man, and she would have a good life in the future.
Guo Chun felt that her husband was too amazing, and of course, her Little Sister was even more amazing. She also had no desire to work, so she switched shifts with a colleague and went back to her parents’ home with Song Lao San.
Guo Chun’s father worked in the county office, and he was the first to hear the news about Song Chu and his son-in-law’s Gaokao results.
In fact, not many people in Nan County scored high this time, and it was estimated that very few would be able to get into university. But Song Chu getting the top score and Song Lao San getting third place in the province was a kind of glory. It was enough to brag about to other counties and cities for a long time.
He was also very happy. During work, he called his son and daughter, telling them to come home for dinner in the evening to celebrate with his son-in-law.
Guo’s Eldest Brother and the others were naturally also happy that their brother-in-law had done so well. They even bragged about it at their own workplaces, attracting a wave of envy.
Therefore, when Song Lao San went to his wife’s family today, he received even better treatment. His usually serious father-in-law rarely praised him and held his hand while drinking together.
This made Song Lao San feel flattered and inspired him to develop his education career well and make a name for himself.
Guo’s Eldest Brother and the others naturally also praised him, and even his two sisters-in-law were much more polite and enthusiastic.
After dinner, Guo’s Father looked at Song Lao San and asked, “You’re going to the capital to attend university. What are you going to do about our Xiaochun?”
Song Lao San said truthfully, “I plan to take her to the capital with me.”
Guo’s Mother was happy in her heart that her son-in-law hadn’t forgotten his roots after getting into university. It was good that he still knew to take his wife with him.
“What about her job?” she asked.
Song Lao San replied, “She’ll resign and find a new job in the capital, or open her own shop.”
Guo’s Mother frowned, “How can she resign from such a good job at the Supply and Marketing Cooperative?”
Guo Chun immediately said, “Mom, my Little Sister said that the Supply and Marketing Cooperatives might close down in the future. Now that so many people are doing private business, not many people will buy from us anymore. I might as well resign now and find another job.”
Guo’s Mother disagreed with this. “This is an iron rice bowl. How could it possibly close down?”
Guo’s Father, however, was more far-sighted. “It’s not impossible. Even if it doesn’t close down, it’s not bad for Xiaochun to resign and find a new job in the capital.”
With Song Chu in the Old Song family, the family was bound to rise.
His silly daughter was lucky to have a good relationship with Song Chu. Going to the capital would definitely not be a problem for her to find a job. Why hang on to this small county town?
“It would be a pity to resign,” Guo’s Mother said.
Guo’s Father said, “There’s nothing to be sorry about. It’s not good to have your son-in-law alone in the capital without someone to take care of him. I support Xiaochun’s resignation.”
With her son-in-law going to university in the capital, he would most likely not return to Nan County. It would be easy for problems to arise if he and his daughter were separated.
The Song family had completely risen now, and his daughter would have a better future following him to the capital.
What he actually had his eye on was not his son-in-law, but Song Chu.
