Chapter 007: Do You Want to Change?

"Brother is lying, he ate three bowls!" the little one said deliberately in a loud voice

The words spoken by Teacher Guo kept swirling in his mind

That is the provincial capital

Indeed, there are detailed explanations following the example questions, and the correct answers to the questions are also provided at the end of the book

Ah? Change the current life?" Wang Yufei was taken aback

Ah? Old Liao was taken aback, and for a long time, he did not know how to respond.

"Principal, is there something you need?" Wang Yufei asked tentatively

The gaze of this little fellow has changed from before, becoming more lively

First, I encountered a peculiar old man while at school, then an unfamiliar teacher made me run, and right after that, the principal specifically came over and stared at me blankly... Wait, a peculiar old man?

It is often said that the eyes are the windows to the soul, yet Lao Liao has never truly witnessed this. However, it is remarkable how a pair of lively eyes can completely transform a child's entire demeanor.

"That's enough, say a little less!" Uncle put down his chopsticks and scolded in a deep voice, then turned to Wang Yufei and complained, "Aren't you supposed to have free lunch at school? Don't you know to eat enough before coming back? You sit there in class every day, it's not like you're working in the fields, how can you be so easily hungry?"

He is indeed very curious

"Wang Yufei, did you study these questions at home during the summer by following the correct answers at the back?" Principal Liao asked

Alright, ah...

On the worn square table, there was a bowl of pickled vegetables, a plate of spicy peppers, and a dish of smoked meat

To change the current life! Guo Jianfeng nodded vigorously

I believe you are very talented and do not want this talent to be overlooked

"Ah, what is it! Wang Yufei, my name is Guo Jianfeng, and I am a friend of Principal Liao. Shall we have a chat now?" Guo Jianfeng, who could no longer bear to stand by, simply turned around and sat down in front of Wang Yufei, and spoke.

"Come with me to the provincial capital. Regardless of whether you can be adopted or not, you will have access to a better education. This is the best way for you to give back to this village in the future"

This is a stark truth, especially as the youth emphasize the words "today" with particular weight

Just as Wang Yufei's thoughts became chaotic, Lao Liao finally came to his senses under Guo Jianfeng's hint

He has never even left Wang Village in his entire life

What will the world outside be like

He truly has never intended to deceive his childhood friend; has this child suddenly become enlightened

Well, none of this is important

... ...

"How many bowls is this? Are you still eating?" At the dining table, just as Wang Yufei was about to get a third bowl, his aunt couldn't help but scold him.

The thought process for solving the problem is very clear. Moreover, there is a rather peculiar aspect: the characters at the beginning of the paper appear to be written in a crooked manner, yet as it progresses, they become increasingly better, even evoking a pleasing aesthetic.

It is truly shocking

Thus, in his naivety, Wang Yufei nodded in agreement to Teacher Guo's request

Alright! Wang Yufei responded, shaking his head and casting aside all these chaotic thoughts. It was pointless to dwell on them now, especially since he felt hungry again. Today was peculiar; he became hungry very quickly, even though he had a hearty meal at the cafeteria with Teacher Guo at noon.

What exactly did the little one experience this summer vacation

Consider this: your uncle and aunt lack the energy and ability to create better conditions for you. By the time you finish elementary school, it is highly likely that you will drop out. Do you understand what this means for you?

He seems to have really become smarter! ... It seems that I should properly thank that eccentric old man, but he has disappeared...

"Let me take a look at the book!" After saying this, Old Liao directly picked up the collection of Olympiad math problems from the desk and casually flipped through it.

No! Wang Yufei shook his head and said, "I just felt I could solve it as soon as I saw the problem today."

Just by looking at the question, I felt I could solve it. No one to guide me, this is truly genius

The little fellow is quite pleased; this meat is not for brother to eat

Mathematical Olympiad problems are challenging; not to mention Wang Yufei, even the best-performing child in the entire sixth grade of the school would likely struggle. Of course, this cannot be blamed on the children, as this is a backward rural area. Even the teachers find many Olympiad problems difficult, let alone the fact that these children's families are unlikely to afford various tutoring classes for them.

Thinking of this, Wang Yufei lowered his head to look at the exam paper in front of him, then raised his head again to glance at the principal, who seemed to be contemplating how to begin speaking, feeling a bit unsettled in his heart

Will Teacher Guo really come with Principal Liao tonight?

Although his most trusted Principal Liao was just standing by without saying a word, Wang Yufei could sense the sincerity in Teacher Guo's words, as if he genuinely liked him, even though he did not understand why

"I ate two bowls," Wang Yufei said with a frown.

He suddenly felt that everything that happened today was somewhat strange

... ...

You are sixteen years old this year, which theoretically does not meet the adoption criteria, but I can think of a way.

... ...

Just as he was speaking, a dog began barking outside the door, and the village chief's voice followed: "Wang Dachui, hurry up and open the door, I have some great news to discuss with you!"

"Go, hurry up and eat your own!" The woman scolded the little one, her sharp gaze sweeping towards Wang Yufei: "Isn't two bowls enough? What size bowls are those! The rice is about to overflow, is rice free? Who told you to cook so much rice today? The rice jar is going to be emptied!"

Hello, Teacher Guo, what would you like to discuss with me?

That old man seems to be asking himself whether he wants to become the smartest person in the world... and then... has he really become smarter himself

For example, do you want to change your current life? Guo Jianfeng stated directly.

"Fei Wazi, what are you dawdling around for? Hurry back inside and cook!" As Wang Yufei reached the doorstep, the loud voice of his aunt, who was busy drying beans in the yard, echoed in his ears

Uncle sat silently at the table, eating without saying a word. Another little fellow was tilting his head, looking at Wang Yufei, who was being scolded by his mother, with a mocking gaze. Unlike his brother, whose bowl was empty, the little fellow's bowl was piled high with three pieces of meat just served by his mother, fragrant and appetizing.

Old Liao was at a loss for words for a long while

When the young student emerged from his focused state of solving problems and looked up at the principal standing beside him, Lao Liao became somewhat distracted

Ignoring Guo Jianfeng's strange gaze, Principal Liao cleared his throat twice, waking up Wang Yufei, who was engrossed in solving problems

Lao Liao picked up the draft paper on the desk that Wang Yufei had used to solve the problems again

It is important to note that although this little fellow is clearly somewhat boastful, he should have genuinely mastered these topics

Hasn't Lao Liao taught Wang Yufei for half a year? Is he not aware of whether he is a genius? This is quite boastful, refreshing and unconventional

Walking on the way home, Wang Yufei's already exceptionally clever mind still felt like a lump of mush

Cough cough
