Chapter 186 Farewell
Fortunately, the principal was prepared for this, and he smiled smugly:
"I specifically asked, and Hua Lichu did very well on the first half of the test, but she barely touched the last two big questions..."
Hua Antao nodded, thanked the principal, and quickly walked out of the office.
On the way back to the classroom with Pei Yi'an, Hua Antao was unusually confused:
"Pei Yi'an, would you like to participate in the leadership program?"
Pei Yi'an turned his head, looked at Hua Antao seriously, and said firmly, word by word, "I want to!"
Actually, before meeting Hua Antao, he wasn't very interested in anything.
Learning was not difficult for him.
He didn't want to disappoint his parents, nor did he want to stand out too much, so he deliberately controlled his scores in every exam.
But in order to catch up with Hua Antao, he gradually fell in love with mathematics and physics.
Hua Antao hadn't expected Pei Yi'an to be so resolute. Her fingers, hanging by her sides, fiddled with her clothes, and she lightly bit her lower lip.
"I do really like math and physics, but life is long, and I'm afraid I'll..."
"But if you miss this opportunity, will you regret it?"
Hua Antao paused, then replied without hesitation, "Of course I'll regret it!"
Pei Yi'an gazed at Hua Antao: "Actually, you already have the answer in your heart. Just follow your heart."
……
"Sis, what's wrong? You seem a bit strange today. You won the top prize in the national competition, what a wonderful thing! Why do you look so downcast?"
At lunchtime, Hua Lichu grabbed Hua Antao's arm and pressed her for an answer.
Hua Antao shook her head: "It's nothing... Pear, I have something I want to discuss with you and Grandpa later."
Unexpectedly, the matter that had troubled Hua Antao all morning was something that Hua Lichu and Hua Yuansheng didn't need to consider at all.
"Of course we have to take this opportunity! It's a guaranteed admission to Tsinghua University! We don't even need to take the college entrance exam!" Hua Lichu said with sparkling eyes.
Hua Yuansheng nodded: "Taozi, we have to go. We can't miss such a good opportunity."
Although he didn't understand the matter of studying, judging from the situation, it seemed that a nationwide competition had been specially organized just to select people.
Even a fool could tell how strong the team behind this plan must be.
Hua Lichu grasped Hua Antao's hand: "Sister, why are you still hesitating? Don't you really like math and physics? You always say that the things in the textbooks are too superficial and lack challenge?"
Hua Antao pursed her lips: "A lifetime is too long, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep it up..."
"So what? Who said that once you join this program, you have to dedicate your whole life to it? If you can't stick with it, just change careers!"
You still have me, don't you? At worst, I'll take care of you!
Besides, if you master physics and chemistry, you'll be able to go anywhere in the world without fear. Knowledge is yours to keep; once you've learned it, why worry about not being able to use it?
Hua Antao suddenly realized, "Yes, I'm only 17. Why should I think so much? If I can't keep going, then I'll just give up!"
Immediately, a blush crept onto her fair cheeks. Hua Antao stammered for a while before whispering:
“If I go to the capital now, wouldn’t I have to separate from you? You still have a year and a half before the college entrance exam, and I can’t bear to be separated from you.”
When this was mentioned, the three generations of the family fell silent.
Hua Antao couldn't bear to part with her younger sister and grandfather, but how could Hua Lichu bear to part with her older sister?
Hua Yuansheng, being an adult, was quite rational and made the final decision:
"Peach, since you don't want to miss this opportunity, you must go to the capital as soon as possible!"
Our Tianyuan City is just a small city, and its educational resources certainly can't compare to those of big cities. If you want to keep up with others, you have to be a slow bird that flies first.
Pear still has a year and a half until the college entrance exam. Our family's factory and shops are all here, so Grandpa probably won't be able to come with you for a while.
But don't worry, Pear isn't in her senior year of high school yet, and she has a day and a half of vacation every week. When that happens, we'll go to the capital once a month.
However, seeing each other once a month is indeed a bit infrequent. Once you arrive in the capital, we'll see what your vacation schedule is like there. If you have a longer vacation, Grandpa will come to the capital to pick you up.
I'll just have to make do for the next six months.
"When summer vacation comes, Pear and I will go to the capital to visit you. We'll also take this opportunity to see if we can make a name for ourselves here."
Hua Yuansheng finally understood that his two granddaughters were no ordinary people; it was only a matter of time before they left Tianyuan City.
Since that's the case, we might as well take this opportunity to go there early and investigate the market situation to lay the groundwork for later.
Hua Lichu nodded firmly: "Sister, when you go to the capital, go out and explore more when you have time."
"See if I can find a bargain? Maybe buy a small courtyard house, or maybe look for cheaper land in the suburbs..."
After hearing what Hua Lichu and Hua Yuansheng said, Hua Antao suddenly felt that going to the capital more than a year earlier was actually a good thing.
The next day, Hua Antao found the principal and asked to go to the capital as soon as possible.
The principal was also afraid that the girl would regret it, so he immediately called Mr. Qiu.
The higher-ups attached great importance to this plan, and within two days they specially sent a car to pick up the people.
Everyone understood the reasoning, but on the morning of their departure, Hua Antao and Hua Lichu still cried their eyes out.
"Sis, if anyone bullies you, just call me and I'll go beat them up!" Hua Lichu said, her eyes brimming with tears.
Hua Antao nodded firmly: "If anyone bullies you at school, tell me too."
Pei Yian, who had been waiting quietly for over half an hour, watched the two sisters with great patience.
"Sister, if you become rich and powerful, don't forget me! If you do well, don't forget to let me latch onto your coattails!"
After Hua Yuansheng finished checking the luggage, he saw Hua Lichu getting more and more excited as she pulled Hua Antao along, so he quickly separated the two of them.
"Peach, don't cry! We're all grown up now, crying too much will make your face ugly!"
The driver said helplessly, "Little girl, stop crying, we have to get going."
Hua Antao knew she couldn't continue being so willful, so she steeled herself and got into the car.
The driver quickly started the car.
Hua Yuansheng leaned out of the car window: "Taozi, call home when you have time... No, how about I come with you?"
The driver said helplessly, "Sir, don't worry, we've already arranged the dormitories for the children. They can just check in when they arrive. Even if you come with us, you won't be able to get into the school!"
Hua Lichu also wanted to go, but upon hearing that she couldn't get into the school, she had to give up.
"Sis, all the important things are at the place I told you about yesterday. When you get there, don't be too frugal. Buy whatever you need..."
The driver recalled how exhausted he felt, remembering how his car trunk was crammed full.
Pei Yi'an, who had only brought a backpack with him when he went out, saw that Hua Antao's eyes were red again and quickly said:
"Don't worry, I will take good care of Hua Antao."
The driver stepped on the gas immediately.
Hua Antao quickly turned around and peered out the rear window of the car. She saw her younger sister and grandfather chasing after the car, waving frantically.
Only after everyone was completely out of sight did I turn around and sit down.
A moment later, another sob was heard inside the car.
