Chapter 541: Exam Results
Chapter 541: Exam Results
Mr. Jiang checked the exam results, and his daughter, Jiang Xia, ranked first in the city and second in the province. She was the top scorer in both English and Language Arts for the entire province.
If it weren't for her being busy with postpartum recovery, she might have been the provincial champion in the Sciences as well.
However, the provincial champion was the grandson of an elderly professor from the university's Mathematics department, and he had topped all the science subjects.
Jiang Xia was only a point behind in Language Arts and two points in English.
Similarly, she was only two or three points behind the provincial champion in the Sciences.
Mr. Jiang felt that the provincial champion had been studying day and night, while his daughter had only reviewed in her spare time, and she was still recovering from childbirth. To achieve second place under such circumstances was indeed more impressive!
Mr. Jiang was extremely satisfied.
He had never dared to imagine that his daughter would achieve such outstanding results.
Mr. Jiang was overjoyed, even more so than when his son had been the provincial champion in the Sciences years ago.
As a father, who wouldn't hope for their children to excel? Both his son and daughter were exceptionally talented.
Mr. Zhou was also delighted. Having a champion in the family, even if it was in a single subject, was still a matter of great pride.
Mr. Zhou looked at his three children sleeping soundly in their cribs and had a sudden thought:
"Should we send the children to school at different ages?"
Mr. Jiang was puzzled, "Why?"
Mr. Zhou explained, "This way, we might have three champions in the family in the future!"
There could only be one champion, and if all three children studied and took exams together, it wouldn't be enough to go around!
However, Mr. Zhou was just thinking aloud and had no intention of actually holding the children back from school.
Having the top three spots was also an excellent achievement!
Mr. Jiang was speechless.
It made perfect sense!
But they couldn't hold the children back from attending school at the appropriate age.
Mr. Jiang said, "They might not take the college entrance exam together, and who knows, one of them might be exceptionally bright and could even skip a grade."
Mr. Zhou's eyes lit up instantly, "That's right!"
Mr. Zhou was indeed a lucky father, and his words were as good as gold!
Whatever he said would come true!
Jiang Xia watched her three children eat, sleep, and repeat, and she secretly doubted if they would even make it to college.
Of course, she didn't pressure them to get into university, believing in doing her best and leaving the rest to fate.
Zhao Cheng Lei said, "Dad, have you thought of names for the children? They'll be a month old the day after tomorrow."
The two fathers still hadn't come up with any names.
Mr. Zhou suggested, "Let the in-laws choose! The names they pick will be worthy of champions."
Mr. Jiang replied, "Let Ah Lei choose! I'm the worst at naming."
In the end, the task of naming fell back on Zhao Cheng Lei.
Zhao Cheng Lei took out a pen and paper and wrote down a few names for everyone to choose from, "I've discussed this with my dad. The older brother will take my surname, and the younger brother will take Xia Xia's surname. I've come up with a few options, so you can pick from them."
Jiang Xia looked at Zhao Cheng Lei, surprised that he hadn't mentioned this to her before.
Mr. Jiang, worried that Mr. Zhou might not like the idea, laughed, "That's not necessary. As long as they take their father's surname, it's fine."
Mr. Zhou smiled, "Xia Xia has worked so hard giving birth, it's only right for one child to take her surname. Let's decide on this! Let's choose a name, as they'll be a month old the day after tomorrow."
The three of them looked at the names Zhao Cheng Lei had written down.
Hang, Xian; Yu, Peng; Zheng, Duo.
Each pair of names shared the same radical, indicating that they were brothers.
Jiang Xia pointed at the first two, "How about Hang and Xian?"
The names were also similar to Zhou Zhou's.
Mr. Jiang agreed, "Good. At a glance, you can tell they come from a family involved in ship-related work."
Mr. Zhou read the names aloud, "Zhou Hang, Jiang Xian, they sound great! They're perfect for children from a fishing family!"
Zhao Cheng Lei said, "Then let's name them Zhou Yihang, Jiang Yixian, and Zhou Yile."
Adding the character 'Yi' to each name brought a sense of unity to the three children's names.
Zhou Fu: "Why add the character 'One' in the middle? Why not choose a better one? Are you being lazy when it comes to naming your child?"
Jiang Xia: "The character 'One' is great! It symbolizes a smooth-sailing life, peace, happiness, harmony, and success!"
Zhou Fu immediately changed his mind: "The character 'One' is excellent! It's simple and has such profound meanings! The more I think about it, the more wonderful it is! The best name ever! It's a very thoughtful choice!"
Zhou Chenglei: "..."
Jiang Fu silently recited the name in his mind, nodding: "The character 'One' is indeed the simplest and most profound. By adding 'One' in the middle, the three siblings' names are unified, and they truly sound like a trio. Moreover, not many people use 'One' in names, so the chances of encountering the same name are slim."
Jiang Mu agreed: "The character 'One' is good. In the future, when the child starts school and learns to write their name, they won't cry and blame their father!"
Everyone laughed!
Finally, the names of the three children were decided!
The next day, Jiang Xia's exam results were out. At noon, Zhou Chenglei specially ordered several tables at Fu Man Lou to celebrate with relatives and friends from the city.
It was also a celebration of Jiang Xia's excellent performance in the college entrance exam.
It was inconvenient for villagers to come to the city, so they would hold another two or three tables back in the village to invite relatives from the same clan.
Zhou Chenglei had already asked Zhou Chengxin and Tian Caifua to help with this matter.
Jiang Dong also returned that day, and before coming back, he specifically went to Q University to bring back Jiang Xia's college admission notice.
Jiang Fu had specifically called him, asking him to check if the admission notice was ready and to bring it back personally for Jiang Xia.
The school usually didn't allow this, and it had to be mailed to the recipient, but Zhang Fu Yan to find a familiar teacher, and the teacher on the other side called Jiang Xia to confirm before agreeing.
As soon as Jiang Dong got off the plane, he rushed to the Zhou family and handed the admission notice and the property deed of the Si He Yuan to Jiang Xia: "Congratulations on your admission to your dream university!"
Jiang Xia took the documents, glancing at both the admission notice and the property deed: "This is too precious! I don't want it!"
Jiang Dong: "Your brother-in-law asked me to buy it. It's not worth much, and he also gave me a shop space, so it's almost even. Don't be polite!"
Jiang Xia looked at Zhou Chenglei: "When did you ask Jiang Dong to buy it?"
"After you had the child."
Jiang Xia understood.
Zhou Chenglei helped her open the admission notice for her to see.
Jiang Xia checked it and, seeing it was correct, was about to put it away.
Zhou Fu smiled and said, "Xia Xia, let me see the admission notice!"
Jiang Xia handed the admission notice to Zhou Fu.
Zhou Fu held the admission notice and carefully opened it.
Indeed, both wealth and talent were present!
After reading it, Zhou Fu even held it up for the triplets in the crib to let them absorb their mother's talent.
Jiang Xia watched as Zhou Fu held the admission notice, carefully placing a corner of it into the children's hands, letting them grab it.
The three little ones had just finished feeding and weren't asleep yet. They were lying in the crib playing, and Zhou Fu had been entertaining them.
When something was put into their hands, they instinctively grabbed it, and their tiny pink fingers moved around.
Jiang Dong curiously asked, "Father-in-law, what are you doing?"
Zhou Fu: "Let them absorb their mother's talent so they can become top scholars too!"
One must have talent before attracting wealth!
Jiang Dong immediately responded, "Then let them absorb mine! I'm the top scholar, and my sister can only be considered a third of one!"
Jiang Xia: "..."
Zhou Fu laughed and said, "Come, come, hold the children and let them absorb their uncle's talent."
I'm the one who's bad at naming, and I've been thinking about the children's names for so long, but I'm still not satisfied. Let's just make do!
