Chapter 59: Able to bend and stretch
There is only a thin piece of paper, and I am a little nervous, Qiao Wuye helps to find a relationship, and he is also a person who is specifically responsible for admissions, so he has the greatest chance of being admitted.
Su Mu took a deep breath, and under his father's gaze, he took out the notice, and there were only three possibilities, namely no admission, self-funded admission and full scholarship offering, that is, publicly-funded admission.
His gaze swept over this notice, and the next moment he clenched his fists fiercely!
Excitedly, he said to his father, "I've been accepted!
When Su Dingcai heard this, he felt a hot current surging through his body, and he was so comfortable that he relaxed!
With all their minds full of thinking about not spending money, the whole family has been worried about the high tuition fees recently, and they have been busy all summer and they are physically and mentally exhausted, and now they finally ushered in good news.
Originally, even if they didn't get the scholarship, they planned to send Su Mu to study in an excellent private school, and it would be better to spend less money, so that with the Su family's poor economic situation, it would be much easier.
Su Dingcai is not an extroverted character, in the mouth of the neighbors, he is a well-known honest person, who needs help with something, as long as he tells him, most of them will go to help.
With a smile on his face, he said to his son Su Mu: "That's good, you open the other letters first, and I'll go to your mother later and tell her." I'll cook something delicious in the evening, and when your grandfather comes back from work, we'll celebrate together. ”
"Well, I saved tens of thousands, Dad, go buy some seafood today, I want to eat baby octopus, and Alaskan king crab!"
The family was relaxed, Su Mu was also happy, and his tone was full of joy.
The children of poor families are in charge of the family early, and he rarely asks for anything from childhood to adulthood, and he has carried a schoolbag for more than three years, and he has not let his family buy a new one.
It's not that he is so poor that he can't even afford a schoolbag, but Su Mu feels that it's unnecessary, he can make do with it, he is happy to be admitted today, and he wants to eat king crab with a very high price for the first time, in fact, he has never eaten that kind of oversized crab at all, he has only seen it in the vegetable market.
In this era, the price of king crab remained high, the price of dozens of dollars a piece, so Su Mu didn't dare to mention it to his parents, he wanted to eat it, knowing that as long as he said it, his family would buy it, and he was reluctant to waste money.
Daddy Su Dingcai nodded decisively and said, "Okay, I'll give you money later, and you can go to the vegetable market to buy the vegetables you want to eat!"
It's a great day to celebrate.
Su Mu opened the other two letters from the school again, Loyola Private High School was willing to admit him, but was unwilling to provide a full scholarship, which means that he needed to pay money to go to school, he had already guessed about this, plus he had already received the notice from Menlo Park High School, he didn't care, and put it on the table casually.
In addition, I also applied for a publicly-funded place at San Fernando College, but I didn't expect the other party to agree, and the super high SSAT test score, coupled with the recommendation letter given by Mr. Susie, and social practice records, etc., made San Fernando College agree to issue a scholarship to Su Mu.
This gave Su Dingcai a headache, there were too many schools willing to admit his son, so he didn't know which one to choose, and asked: "Which of these two schools is better?" ”
Sumu is also difficult to choose.
If Menlo Park High School had been elsewhere, he would have chosen the more famous San Fernando College.
However, this school is in the Silicon Valley area, near Stanford University, and the address is specifically indicated on the notice, which is next to Stanford University.
In the early 80s, California's Silicon Valley region was already famous, and the state gave generous policy support, attracting a large number of high-tech companies to settle in, and Su Mu saw it as a region that produced and developed various high-tech products.
Because of those disappeared radio broadcasts, Su Mu was very interested in the development of the computer technology industry, and also knew that this industry might be able to make a lot of money, Jobs was relying on a little money, quickly earned the current worth of hundreds of millions of dollars, thinking that if he went there to study, he could learn more about the high-tech industry.
The balance in his heart quickly leaned towards going to Silicon Valley for high school, and replied to his father, "San Fernando College is better, but I would prefer to go to Menlo Park High School." ”
"It's right in Los Angeles, it's too far away and it's not safe, and no one takes care of you. Daddy Su shook his head again, he was very concerned about this precious son and didn't want him to be too far away from home.
It's a few little things to get to San Francisco by car, and it's only possible to get home on weekends, and San Fernando College, although it's also far away, is much better than going to San Francisco.
I can't tell my dad that I want to go to the Silicon Valley area to see if there is a chance to make a fortune by digging gold, when San Francisco discovered the gold mine, attracting countless people to San Francisco, because there are only a handful of people who make money from the gold mine, and the city has grown rapidly because of the attraction of foreign population.
And now, in the eyes of Su Mu, there is a second opportunity to dig gold in that area, the first pot of gold has been obtained, and the second pot of gold is still far away, if you don't see it with your own eyes, Su Mu feels that he will definitely regret it in the future.
Knowing that Daddy Su Dingcai was a "shun donkey", he didn't directly say what he thought, Su Mu knocked on the side and asked tentatively: "Then the old man, will you talk about it?"
"Huh, what do you want to tell him?"
"At that time, Grandpa asked Fifth Master Qiao to help, but now the other party has made efforts to help, but you don't plan to let me go to ......"
Su Mu stopped at this point.
Immediately, I found that my father Su Dingcai was thinking about something, and his face was not very good-looking, as if he was a little frightened.
What kind of temper does Old Man Su have, Su Dingcai, who is a son, naturally knows that he was beaten a lot when he was a child, and there is still a shadow now, that is, after he gets older, his personality is a little calmer.
With Old Man Su's face-loving personality, it was already strange to be able to ask for help, if others helped arrange the school, but Su Mu didn't go, it was simply slapping the old man's face, and it was very hard, Su Dingcai could think of his father's cloudy face, and his legs were a little weak.
quickly changed his position and said to Su Mu: "It's okay to go out, the weather is bad in San Francisco, and we are not around, remember to take care of yourself when you go to school." ”
Su Mu almost couldn't hold back his laughter, nodded and told him: "Then for the time being, there are still a few days for me to think about it, Loyola Private High School will not consider it, the tuition fee is too expensive." ”
Just as the father and son were talking, Boss Han Yu suddenly came to the door, and Su Mu was a little flustered when he saw him, for fear that he would leak his mouth in front of his father.
Fortunately, the worrying thing didn't happen, I saw Boss Han put the fruit on the table and said to Su Dingcai: "Lend me your son, I can't find the purchase bill last time, help me find ......"
