Chapter 10: The Genius Younger Brother Leads His Family to Success!
With everyone's help, by around 5 p.m., the Luo family had packed up all their belongings.
When Luo Zhu returned home, she suddenly found that her home seemed to have changed.
Why are all your things packed up? Are you moving?
Why didn't anyone tell her?!
If she had come back any later, would her family have already moved away?
"Mom and Dad, what happened? Why are all the things packed away?" Luo Zhu asked as she entered the house.
When Sun Xiulan heard Luo Zhu's voice, she realized that she seemed to have forgotten to tell her daughter about the move, and she was instantly embarrassed.
"Pearl, you weren't home today. I've been busy and forgot to tell you."
"Your brother got accepted into university. The school has arranged a place for our family. After we pack our things, we'll be leaving!"
When Luo Zhu first heard the news, it took her a few seconds to process it before she understood what her mother meant.
"Your younger brother won an award in the national competition?" Luo Zhu asked with a look of surprise, recalling the competition Luo Yao had participated in before.
"Luo Yao won first prize in mathematics, physics, and chemistry. He is the first person in the country to reach this level, so we, the admissions officers, came here."
Luo Zhu looked at the person who spoke and realized that there was a stranger in her house.
"Luo Zhu, right? I'm Ouyang, an admissions officer from East China University of Science and Technology. I'm in charge of taking you to East China University of Science and Technology this time."
Luo Zhu was initially delighted, but then became puzzled.
Logically speaking, his younger brother's grades were more than enough to get into Tsinghua University and Yenching University, so why did this person say that Luo Yao wanted to go to their place?
Luo Zhu had questions in her mind, but she didn't say them to Teacher Ouyang. Instead, she asked with some concern, "Is the whole family moving away?"
"But I just found a job here."
Ouyang was stunned. Luo Zhu was at work? Why wasn't this the message he received?
"Luo Zhu, are you at work? Aren't you studying?"
Luo Zhu shook her head somewhat embarrassedly and said, "My grades are average, and the school I got into was only a third-tier university. I figured it would be hard to find a good job even after graduating from a third-tier university, so I don't plan to waste my money."
Looking at Luo Zhu's simple and plain clothes, Teacher Ouyang understood. He said, "When you go to university, the school can actually help you apply for a student loan. It's interest-free, and you can pay it back after you graduate and start working. It's such a good opportunity, it would be a real shame to waste it."
Luo Zhu nodded and said, "My brother said the same thing, but once I go to school, it'll only be my brother at home. If I stay home, I can take care of my parents."
So that's how it is. It seems Luo Zhu is a normal, filial child.
Teacher Ouyang recalled the contents of the agreement he signed with Luo Yao and said, "I promised your brother that in addition to arranging jobs for your parents, I would also solve your schooling problem."
"Based on your previous grades, our school can admit you through a special program if you repeat a year of high school."
What?!
My brother's school not only arranges jobs for my parents, but also solves my schooling problem?
Luo Zhu had never imagined such a good thing could happen. She asked incredulously, "Teacher, is everything you're saying true?"
"Of course it's true. You can ask your mother. She was there when we signed the agreement with Luo Yao."
Luo Zhu turned to Sun Xiulan, who nodded repeatedly: "Of course it's true, Zhu'er! Your brother even received a school award of 500,000 yuan! If you want to study now, you can go ahead without worry!"
Sun Xiulan knew that Luo Zhu had given up going to university in order to save money and take care of them.
Because of this, Sun Xiulan always felt indebted to Luo Zhu. Now, things are better. Luo Yao has secured a school for Luo Zhu, and she can fulfill her dream of going to university!
Luo Zhu was naturally happy to hear the news, but she also hesitated. Could her grades be matched with Luo Yao's in the same school?
She knew Luo Yao's grades best from childhood to adulthood.
Many questions she couldn't answer, the teacher might not be able to explain clearly, but Luo Yao would definitely explain them to her.
But now that her younger brother is going to college, who will help her with her studies?
After Luo Zhu nervously explained the situation, Teacher Ouyang was also taken aback.
He hadn't expected that Luo Zhu's previous achievements were still due to Luo Yao. The two siblings' DNA was clearly similar, so how could there be such a big difference?
He said with a somewhat complicated expression, "If you really want to go to university, don't worry about your grades, just focus on retaking the exam."
"You seem to be 19 years old now, so you could keep up even if you repeated a year of high school."
"The school will lower the admission score for you."
Anyway, the admissions director put him in full charge of Luo Yao. Now that the school has a genius, it shouldn't be a problem to admit an ordinary person, right?
Teacher Ouyang thought to himself.
Upon hearing Teacher Ouyang directly say that she could be admitted with a lower score, Luo Zhu immediately jumped and danced with joy, pulling her mother along. She was indeed 19 years old, and she had never imagined that with her younger brother's help, she would have the opportunity to re-enter university!
After her initial excitement, Luo Zhu called her workplace and resigned.
She worked at a courier station, and her boss was somewhat surprised when she called.
"Luo Zhu, have you found a better job now?"
Luo Zhu quickly explained, "Boss, that's not how it is. I'm going to repeat a year of high school to prepare for the university entrance exam!"
The boss asked in surprise, "Weren't you worried about wasting your family's money and therefore not planning to go?"
"This is all thanks to my brother. Okay, boss, I need to start packing now. Thank you for your help!"
Although the boss had some doubts, he didn't say much on the phone. He agreed to send Luo Zhu's salary for this period to her WeChat account and then hung up.
The rest was simple. After Luo Zhu returned to her room and quickly packed her things, she set off with everyone.
There weren't many nice cars in the town, so Teacher Xu rented two seven-seater vans and drove them to the back of Luo's restaurant.
"You know, our admissions officers are amazing! They not only have to move houses, but they also have to be part-time drivers. They're practically all-rounders!"
"What's wrong with serving geniuses? I hope to benefit from Professor Ouyang's influence and sign a genius next time!"
"Haha, Teacher Ouyang is now our lucky charm!"
Luo Yao sat expressionless in the front seat of the car. Teacher Ouyang reminded him, "Luo, we're about to leave. Would you like to say goodbye to your friend?"
"I have no friends." Luo Yao looked at Teacher Ouyang, wondering why he would say that.
Do people have to have friends?
Who said that?
Seeing Luo Yao speaking so earnestly, Teacher Ouyang realized that he had spoken too quickly again!
Exactly! How could someone like Luo Yao possibly have any friends!
Teacher Ouyang was about to change the subject when Sun Xiulan perked up after hearing his words.
"Professor Ouyang, are all the people at university as smart as my son? Is it easier to make friends there?"
There are indeed many smart people in universities, but people as smart as Luo Yao are really hard to find.
To date, he has never seen a student win all three first prizes in a national competition.
"I suppose so. Luo Yao can go and take a look then." Teacher Ouyang also hopes that Luo Yao can make some friends in college, which would be helpful for his life.
After all, Luo Yao can't stay with his family all the time, can he?
