A powerful country in scientific research

Although Su Ran did not accept the interview, the news that she became the top scorer in the national college entrance examination spread quickly. After all, this is the top scorer in the country, and it is very rare to be the first in the country. Every time the Su family goes out, they can always hear praises from neighbors.

"Oh, your Ranran is so amazing! Not only is he doing scientific research in Jing City, but he also became the top scorer in the college entrance examination. This is the glory of our Hai City!" Grandma Zhao, who lives in the building next to the Su family, said to Grandma Jiang.

"Sister Zhao, thank you for the compliment. I was just lucky to become the top scorer this time." Grandma Jiang said modestly.

Grandma Zhao smiled and shook her head. "Sister Jiang, this is not something that can be done by luck. It really requires great ability. The neighbors in our family compound are all proud of your Ranran!"

"Yes, yes, Sister Jiang, if our child could be half as good as Ranran, I would be so happy." Another neighbor, Grandma Wang, also came over and said.

"Hey, let's not talk about Ranran. I would be so happy if my Liangliang could be half as good as Xiaolei. Sister Jiang, please tell us how you educate your children at home." Grandma Sun said enviously.

Su Lei also received an admission letter yesterday, majoring in physics at Beijing University of Technology. Su Lei is only a sophomore in high school, but he was able to get into such a good university by taking the college entrance examination in advance. Everyone who knows the Su family is envious.

Grandma Jiang smiled from ear to ear, "In fact, we didn't do anything. It was all the children's hard work."

Grandma Jiang didn't lie. Her two children were really motivated and didn't need them to worry about anything. Grandma Jiang was afraid that others would think she was showing off, so she continued, "I really don't have much to say about educating children, but I really know how children learn. Take Ranran for example. When she was at home, she got up at around 5 o'clock to study and went to bed at 11 o'clock at night. Xiaolei was the same. By the way, Ranran also summarized the key points and difficulties of each subject for Xiaolei, and there were also many of her notes. Xiaolei said that his sister's summary was very good, and many of them were taken in the exam. This is at my house first. Do you want to show it to the children?"

Ranran said that these learning materials can be shown to outsiders. They won’t need them anyway, so there’s no harm in showing them to others.

Grandma Sun and the others, who were originally a little disappointed, suddenly brightened up their eyes when they heard this. There is such a good thing!

There was no need to hesitate at all. Several people nodded quickly and followed Grandma Jiang back to the Su family.

When several people left the Su family, they were all smiling, and it was obvious that they were very satisfied with the final result.

Such experiences and conversations are nothing out of the ordinary for the Su family these days.

Whenever they were praised and discussed, even if they were modest, their inner pride was obvious. Whenever they mentioned Su Ran, they couldn't stop smiling.

After all, such an outstanding Su Ran is their granddaughter/daughter/sister, how can they not be happy and proud.

......

The fact that Su Ran was the top scorer in the college entrance examination was big news in the staff quarters, and naturally in the entire Hai City. After all, he was the top scorer in the country!

Recently, the citizens of Hai City like to talk about this capable top scorer in the college entrance examination after dinner.

In a park, several old people gathered together and talked about Su Ran.

"Have you heard? This year's top scorer in the college entrance examination is Comrade Su Ransu, who invented the electric car, air conditioner, and television. Oh, that's the top scorer in the country. He's really capable. I don't know what good things the Su family did in their previous life to have such a child."

"Yes, a child like this is rare in a century. He is so outstanding." Another old man echoed.

"When I get back, I have to use Su Ran's story to inspire my grandson. A young girl like her can be so outstanding, so he, as a grown man, can't be a coward."

"If I could have a granddaughter like this, I would be happy to live two years less..." said the old man wearing a hat with envy in his eyes.

"There's no smart person in my family, so I don't expect to have a granddaughter like this. I hope my grandson can find a partner like Comrade Su. Hehehe, then I'll be so happy." The old man who spoke laughed, revealing a few yellow teeth.

"Tsk tsk tsk, you're the only one who would think, there are a few girls as outstanding as Comrade Su in our country. If you follow such standards, I guess your grandson will be single forever." The old friend next to him teased, and everyone laughed together.

Just when everyone was praising Su Ran, a discordant voice suddenly interrupted: "She's just a girl. No matter how capable she is, she still has to get married and have children. What's the point of being so capable? Women still have to find someone who can live a good life and have children."

This sentence instantly quieted the originally lively atmosphere. Everyone turned their eyes to the person who spoke, and after recognizing the person, they all showed an expression of "it's her" on their faces.

The old lady Zhao who just spoke is very "famous" in the neighborhood, but she is not famous for her goodness, but for her badness.

She was very proud of having given birth to four sons. Later, when her sons got married, it was okay if they gave birth to sons, but if they gave birth to daughters, she would torture their daughters-in-law in various ways, forcing them to continue giving birth until they gave birth to boys. In fact, this was quite normal in that era.

What's even more horrifying is that last year she wanted to sell her 14-year-old granddaughter to an old widower. She took the money and tricked the child into going to the widower's home. If someone hadn't seen it and told her eldest son in time, it would have almost led to tragedy. Her eldest son was so angry that he broke off relations with her.

When this happened, the neighbors were shocked. My god, sometimes they would favor boys over girls, but this is something that no one could do! Even if the granddaughter was a "money-loser", she was still their blood! They couldn't let others abuse her.

From then on, Old Mrs. Zhao became famous in the neighborhood.

Grandma Wang rolled her eyes at her and said sarcastically, "You know how to make a living and give birth to children, but what contribution have you made to China? Are you good at researching refrigerators or washing machines? What's the point of just being able to give birth to children?"

Mrs. Zhao saw Grandma Wang's disdainful smile and said, "Why is it useless? You are just jealous that I can give birth to a son. I can't be like you and only give birth to a girl."

Grandma Wang was very calm. What was wrong with the girl? Her daughter was also very capable.

"Oh, you look down on women so much, why aren't you a woman? When did you change your sex?" Grandma Wang looked at her with a fake smile.

Old Mrs. Zhao's face turned red with anger.

Seeing this, Grandma Wang continued to speak: "You are using Comrade Su's things, but you still say such things about him behind his back. I don't know where you get the nerve to do that. So what if she is a girl? Isn't she more capable than your son or grandson? Zhu Xi said that women hold up half the sky. Do you have a problem with Zhu Xi?"

Old Mrs. Zhao was even more speechless. How could she dare to admit it? !

"Wang Jinfeng, I didn't say that. Don't make up rumors. I'll report you to the Revolutionary Committee. I... the pot is still boiling at home. I'm going home. I don't want to argue with you."

After saying that, he turned around and walked away dejectedly.

Looking at her embarrassed back, Wang Jinfeng curled her lips in sarcasm.

"Don't pay attention to this old feudal idiot. Because every household now values ​​their daughters, Comrade Su, she naturally has opinions about him." The thin old man next to her comforted her.

Grandma Wang snorted, "Even if she has any opinions, she should keep them to herself. Who is Comrade Su? Can she say anything nonsense?"

Grandma Wang's daughter works at the television factory. After Su Ran invented a new type of ultra-thin color TV, the orders for TVs increased sharply, and her daughter was promoted from sales director to deputy factory director. In addition, because of Su Ran, the idea of ​​favoring boys over girls in Hai City was greatly impacted, and she, who only gave birth to a daughter, was no longer ridiculed.

Therefore, Wang Jinfeng had a very good impression of Su Ran and could not stand others slandering her.

After Old Mrs. Zhao left, although Wang Jinfeng was still talking to everyone with a smile, she felt a little confused in her heart.

She couldn't help but think of the bullying and exclusion she had suffered as a girl since childhood, and the unemployed treatment her daughter had received at work. It was obvious that her daughter was more capable than some male comrades, but she was the slowest to be promoted... Wang Jinfeng felt that she seemed to understand Su Ran's significance to China better.

Comrade Su was very famous in Hai City before, so the girls in Hai City began to be paid attention to slowly. Now Comrade Su has passed the national exam and is the top scorer. He must be very famous throughout the country. I hope that girls all over China can start a new life.
