Recently, there were two major events that happened to Cui Weichuan's household.
The first one was that after two years of extensive learning, he had finally passed the beginner electromagnetic engineering examinations and joined the internships of one of the electromagnetic research laboratories.
The world was different than how it was before. The demand for engineers was increasing every day even to the point where passing the beginner's examinations meant nothing. A couple of years ago, one could be promoted to the rank of an assistant engineer after working for a year a so and the job was quite relaxed. Those days were over. Without outstanding results, it would be impossible for one to be an assistant engineer.
However, though he was just an intern, his salary had increased by a significant amount. His lifestyle improved and most importantly, whenever he spoke of his job, people would exclaim and some were even jealous of him. In a world where researchers were the main priority, all resources would be poured into research. So, as long as one landed a job in the research field, it was considered to be a step up in society. Not only were they eligible for better benefits, they also had a better status, which was something money could not buy.
The second event was that his wife had finally given birth to his son. However, he had mixed feelings about it as his son neither looked like him nor his wife. His wife had tanned skin but his son was fair. His wife had single eyelids but his son had double eyelids. Although he was born not too long ago, he was a beautiful baby.
The difference in appearance alone was terrifying enough for him. It had only been half a month and his wife was no longer able to keep up, not having sufficient milk to nurse the baby. The doctor suggested for them to substitute milk with porridge. Fortunately, his son had a digestive ability that was beyond imagination so he was able to adapt to eating porridge. Three months later, his son started speaking and not long later, started to walk.
Though his son's outstanding performance was unbelievable and was beyond his wildest dreams, he wondered if he is still considered a normal child.
While he was deep in thought, he arrived home.
”Daddy, is that you?” His son cheered as he opened the door.
His wife was cooking so Cui Weichuan put down his suitcase and smiled, ”Have you been a good boy today?”
”I am a good boy! You can ask mommy.”
His wife was placing the dishes that she prepared on the dining table. She then carried her son and kissed his cheek, ”Yes, you’re always a good boy! He had learned more than 100 words today. Give him a couple more days and he'll be reading a book on his own.”
”Mommy, I’m already reading storybooks on my own. It's just that there were some words that I don’t know.” The son was unsatisfied.
Chui Weichuan was stunned when he heard what they were saying. He snapped out of it and said with concern, ”He is learning too fast. I don’t think it’s good for him. He’s still so young after all.”
His wife did not mind what he said, she was proud of her genius son, ”What's so bad about that? My son is a genius! I just need to teach him once and he'd remember it! He will be a great scientist in the future.”
He was just a four-month-old baby, how could my son be such a genius? Chui Weichuan wanted to say that but he decided to hold his tongue.
