I'm back in 1990

Chapter 1038: I scored 102 on the TOEFL

Back in the bedroom that night, Yu Xiang told the man, "Xiao Duo told me that Mao Wa wants to study abroad."

Huang Xiaochuan, who was reading in bed, put down his book upon hearing this: "Yes, my second brother came to see me this afternoon. Maowa wants to go to the United States to study medicine, and I had someone contact him."

Yu Xiang nodded: "Studying medicine is a good idea, but why did Maowa decide to study medicine?"

Huang Xiaochuan told Yu Xiang the reason: "It's all because of his biological mother. My second brother told me that Maowa originally wanted to take the military academy entrance exam, but because of his biological mother, he couldn't take it."

Hearing this, Yu Xiang shook her head regretfully: "This child is so pitiful, having such a mother."

Do you know why the Russian kid wanted to study in the United States?

Little did Yu Xiang know that she also felt that Maowa's move was a bit too far afield. Her Kangci Medical Group was based in Hong Kong and had close cooperative relationships with the University of Hong Kong and the Chinese University of Hong Kong, so she felt that Hong Kong was the first choice for Maowa to study medicine.

So when the man brought up the question, she was also curious: "Why?"

"I think this child doesn't plan to come back," Huang Xiaochuan said, expressing his suspicion.

Yu Xiang asked in surprise, "Why? Could it be that Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law are treating him badly?"

Huang Xiaochuan immediately refuted Yu Xiang's conjecture: "How could that be? My second brother and sister-in-law have never wronged him."

Yu Xiang also felt this way: "That's right, our second sister-in-law is very devoted to Maowa, much better than his biological mother."

"Maybe he wants a change of scenery. People have different thoughts at different stages of life. Maybe he'll miss home again after a while." Huang Xiaochuan believes he understands Maowa quite well.

"It's just that she's young, and she's all alone abroad. She has to rely on herself for everything." Yu Xiang felt a little sorry for her.

Huang Xiaochuan, however, had a different opinion: "He's not young anymore, he'll be eighteen next year. It's better for boys to be more independent."

Moreover, Huang Xiaochuan did not think that his nephew would have difficulty adapting to life abroad or studying. Besides, did he really think that he, as the uncle, was just a figurehead?

At this moment, Yu Xiang brought up something that made Huang Xiaochuan unhappy: "Is Maowa's mother coming out soon?"

Huang Xiaochuan picked up the book and started flipping through it again, but still replied, "How would I know?" Although he said that, Huang Xiaochuan decided to arrange for someone to find out more tomorrow. He wasn't worried about anything else, but he was afraid that this woman would cause trouble for his son again after she came out.

So, subconsciously, Huang Xiaochuan actually agreed with Maowa's decision to study abroad.

Meanwhile, Huang Erhe was also talking to Maowa about studying abroad at home.

"I've already spoken to your third uncle, and he supports your studying abroad. However, he said that you need to pass the TOEFL exam to study abroad. You still have a year, so you should study English well, and I'll find you a better English teacher."

The little boy, who had been keeping his head down, suddenly raised his head: "I've already taken the TOEFL, and I got 102 points."

"What? You've already taken the exam? When did that happen? I've never heard you mention it before?" Huang Erhe was greatly surprised.

Mao Wa explained, "I took the exam in the second half of last year. I registered online and applied for a test slot. There happened to be a test center in Shanghai at that time, so I went there and passed on my first try."

Huang Erhe then remembered that his son's English was excellent; he had won an English competition award in his first year of high school.

However, this also shows that the idea of ​​studying abroad had been in his mind for a long time, which made Huang Erhe feel a little guilty.

As the father, he didn't care enough about his son. There were many things he didn't even know. It is said that a father is the guide on his son's path to growth. Under normal circumstances, he should help his son make decisions and choose a school, but his son had already done all of these things himself.

Maowa has already planned out everything himself: taking the TOEFL, choosing a major, which university to attend, and which medical school to apply to after graduating with his bachelor's degree. This shows how determined he is to study abroad.

Huang Erhe opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say, whether to comfort or encourage.

At that moment, Huang Erhe realized that his son had grown up and was no longer the little baby who needed his care.

Just as Huang Erhe was feeling a little embarrassed, his youngest daughter ran over.

"Brother, I want to eat ice cream." The little girl knew that no one in this family listened to her the most, so she went straight to Maowa for help.

Her mother, Cheng Jing, stipulated that she could only eat two small boxes of Häagen-Dazs every day. Today, she had already eaten two boxes, so her request was rejected by her mother. Her older sister was on the same side as her mother, and there was no way to get help from her father. Only her older brother would help her.

Huang Erhe glared at him: "You've already eaten both tubs of ice cream today!"

The little girl smiled shyly, hugged her brother's legs, and slowly hid behind him.

"Come on, brother will get it for you." Maowa bent down and hugged the little girl in his arms.

"Giggle giggle," the little girl clapped her hands happily in the baby's arms.

Huang Erhe couldn't say anything, so he could only let the brother and sister get the ice cream.

Before long, the little girl got her ice cream and sat on the carpet happily eating it.

Maowa watched from the side.

At that moment, Migo walked over.

She glared at the little girl with feigned displeasure, then said to Maowa, "I knew it. This little girl is so clever. She came to me earlier, but I didn't agree. She disappeared as soon as I turned around. I guessed she went to find you."

The little girl pretended not to hear or see anything, and focused intently on eating her ice cream.

Migo couldn't resist giving the little girl a nip on the nose.

"Hehehe!" The little girl looked up with a fawning expression.

"Stinky Dandan, greedy cat Dandan," Migo teased the little girl.

The little girl, nicknamed "Sister," scooped a spoonful of ice cream to give to Miguo.

Seeing this, Migo's heart melted, and she said softly, "You eat it yourself, I don't want any!"

After calming the little girl down, Miguo sat down next to Maowa: "Did Dad tell you about going abroad? Did Uncle agree?"

Maowa nodded: "Yes, Third Uncle agreed. He said he'll take care of the enrollment."

Miguo breathed a sigh of relief: "Third Uncle agreed, so your studying abroad is a done deal."

Then she asked, "Brother, what made you decide to study medicine?"

While watching the little girl eat ice cream, Maowa asked, "Isn't studying medicine a good idea?"

Migo quickly waved her hand: "That's not what I meant, I just didn't think of it."

Maowa smiled and said, "Since I can't join the army, I'll just become a doctor who saves lives. It's that simple."

Migo nodded in agreement: "Being a doctor is a great profession. My third aunt is a doctor, and I like her the most."
