Famous Among Top Surgeons in the 90s

Chapter 23: 【23】Science Top Scholar 2

Xie Youtian, who was in elementary school, got home from school first. Sun Rongfang took her son’s backpack and asked, “Did the teacher give you any homework?”

“Mom, isn’t today the day when sister’s college entrance exam results come out? What homework am I supposed to do?” Xie Youtian bounced around, ready to grab his shuttlecock and go out to play.

“What does your sister’s college entrance exam results have to do with your homework?” Sun Rongfang asked her son.

“It’s a big deal. Dad said if sister doesn’t do well, I can get into college without doing homework.”

Sun Rongfang slapped her son on the back of his head, “Do your homework! Don’t embarrass your sister. She filled the wall with awards from elementary and middle school.”

“No matter how much she studies, it’s useless, that’s what dad said.” Xie Youtian, rubbing his head, angrily looked at his mother.

“Mom.” Xie Wanying stopped her bike at the door and stepped inside the house.

“Sis, how did you do?” Xie Youtian asked.

His sister knew the disrespectful tone of her little brother was the result of their father’s pampering. After all, her brother was the Xie family’s only direct grandson; their father would indulge him no matter what.

“Why are you crossing your legs like that?” Sun Rongfang slapped her son’s leg.

Xie Youtian, with his nostrils flared in displeasure, suddenly saw his father coming home—it was like encountering a lifesaver—and yelled, “Dad.”

“How did you do?” Xie Changrong walked straight into the house and asked his wife. He had not gone drinking with colleagues today, specifically to check his daughter’s scores.

Xie Wanying handed her report card to her mother.

“What’s this?” Looking at the score of 721 on the report card, Sun Rongfang, with her first-grade elementary knowledge, truly couldn’t understand—is that a passing score?

“Not talking?” Xie Changrong looked at his wife’s silent expression, and as if he had insight into her thoughts, he laughed and said, “I told you so, Yingying wouldn’t make it. You can give up hope now.”

Although Sun Rongfang felt uneasy listening to her husband,…

“Mom, I’ve said it before—I’ll definitely get into medical school,” Xie Wanying told her mother.

Receiving the signal from her daughter, Sun Rongfang immediately turned to inform her husband, “Did you hear that? Her teacher said with this score, she can get into medical school.”

Xie Changrong was stunned, “Really? For real?”

“Yes, really, didn’t you just hear Yingying say it?”

“Did she say it, or did the teacher say it?” Xie Changrong was generally skeptical.

“If you don’t believe me, I’ll ask my cousin,” said Sun Rongfang. She could call Zhou Ruomei, who would certainly know which medical schools 721 points could get you into.

“Go ahead and call,” Xie Changrong moved the home phone to his wife.

Seeing this, Xie Wanying went back to her room to start packing for her trip to the Capital.

Sun Rongfang picked up the receiver.

Beep, beep, beep—several rings.

Zhou Ruomei, looking at the ringing phone in the house, had a feeling it was her cousin calling. Just before, she had been debating whether to call and ask about Xie Wanying’s scores.

Anyway, even if Xie Wanying’s results were good, the first-choice surgery program at the medical college she applied for was definitely out of reach for her. It was impossible for a girl like Xie Wanying to outperform her son in math and sciences. Girls generally have lower science scores. Songyuan City is a second-tier prefecture-level city, and the province’s top science student always comes from a high school in the provincial capital.

Having mentally prepared herself, Zhou Ruomei picked up the phone and immediately asked upon hearing her cousin’s voice, “Did Yingying get her report card?”

“Cousin, Yingying’s teacher said she could go to medical school now. Yingying is getting ready to go to that medical university in the Capital,” Sun Rongfang said with great excitement, remembering the prestigious medical college her daughter had applied for, “When the time comes, we hope you can help us connect with the teachers there, build a good relationship, so Yingying can stay and work in a big hospital.”
