The heavens set sail from the courtyard

At the Qin family, Qin Chuan and Xie Qiao sat together, Wang Gang and He Xiaozhou sat on the sofa on the other side, and Qin Qian stood alone in the corner against the wall, wearing headphones on her head, looking nonchalant.

Father Qin and Mother Qin stood in front of the dining table. Father Qin held a set of questions in his hand and said to Qin Chuan:
"Qin Chuan, this is the IQ test I asked someone to get from abroad. You will be the first to do it later."

Qin Chuan looked at the test question suspiciously and said doubtfully: "Dad, is this test accurate? Can I measure my IQ by doing a few questions? Why do I feel it's unreliable!"

Father Qin said unhappily: "Why are you talking so much nonsense? Just do what I tell you to do."

Qin Chuan curled his lips and said nothing.

Father Qin was a little excited, and his hand unconsciously reached for the belt around his waist, but Mother Qin stopped him.

"Son, this set of questions is for Harvard University's entrance exam. Your father spent a lot of money to get it. You and your sister have to do it. Aren't Xie Qiao and Xie Lin accompanying you?" Mother Qin said in a friendly manner, "Just be obedient and treat it as a normal exam."

Qin Chuan glanced at Xie Qiao and Wang Gang and said, "Okay, I'll do it first."

Mother Qin put the test questions on the dining table and gave Qin Chuan a piece of paper.

Because there was only one set of questions, Qin's mother asked Qin Chuan to write the answers on a piece of white paper.

Qin Chuan sat down reluctantly and slowly picked up the pen. Qin's father took out a stopwatch, which looked quite formal.

"Start." Qin's father gave an order, and Qin Chuan began to do the questions.

The others sat nearby and no one disturbed Qin Chuan. They waited for him to finish, and this wait lasted for an hour.

"I've finished writing." Qin Chuan put down the pen and handed the paper to his father.

When Mr. Qin took the paper and looked at it, he was so angry that his nose almost turned crooked.

"You bastard, you didn't even write your name. If this were a test, you would get zero points."

Qin Chuan said indifferently: "Is it necessary to be so formal? It's not like you don't recognize my handwriting."

Mother Qin patted her husband on the back, took the paper and helped her son write his name.

"Who's coming next?" asked Mother Qin.

"I'll go first!" Qin Qian said enthusiastically.

Mother Qin motioned for her daughter to sit down and handed her a new piece of paper.

Qin Qian didn't even take off her earphones. She was listening to music while answering the questions, and she seemed very non-serious. Qin's father doted on his daughter and didn't say anything.

Half an hour later, Qin Qian handed in the paper directly, which surprised Qin's father.

"So fast?"

"The questions aren't difficult." Qin Qian stood up with a grin and said, "I'll go buy some popsicles."

Qin Qian left after she finished speaking, as if she didn't care at all about the IQ test.

Next it was Xie Qiao's turn. She seemed much more steady when answering the questions and even checked her work once before handing it in.

He Xiaozhou was also very serious when doing the questions, but after he finished the questions, he hesitated for a few seconds and finally changed a few answers temporarily.

The last test Wang Gang took was an IQ test he had never done before, but it was not difficult for him and he finished it in less than half an hour.

Father Qin and Mother Qin collected the answer sheets from the students and asked them to go out and wait.

Qin Chuan sat outside, eating a popsicle, feeling nervous, fearing that he would get a bad test score.

"Qin Chuan, why are you so nervous?" Xie Qiao asked when he saw Qin Chuan looking uneasy.

"Of course you don't care. If I don't do well in the IQ test, my dad will definitely think I'm mentally retarded." Qin Chuan sighed.

"Don't be so nervous, this test is not accurate." Wang Gang patted Qin Chuan on the shoulder and said.

"This summer, we took tutoring classes together with Brother Xiaochuan. You and Xie Qiao have made significant progress, but my grades have not improved at all. In fact, they have deteriorated. I even suspect that I am mentally retarded!" Qin Chuan said depressedly.

"It's not that serious. You're actually quite smart." Wang Gang said with a smile, "It's just that you don't use your intelligence in studying."

Qin Chuan said with a bitter face: "I also want to study hard, but I can't concentrate every time. My eyelids tremble when I open the book." He Xiaozhou comforted him: "Qin Chuan, you just don't have the motivation to study now."

Qin Chuan asked: "Brother Xiaochuan, how do you find the motivation to study?"

He Xiaozhou hesitated and said: "Well, everyone has different motivations for learning, you need to find it yourself."

Wang Gang raised the corner of his mouth when he heard that. He Xiaozhou's words were purely to comfort him, and Qin Chuan was not really mentally retarded, so how could he not hear that?

Ten minutes later, Qin's father came out with a heavy face and said to Qin Chuan: "Come in!"

Qin Chuan became even more nervous when he knew that his parents had already corrected the answers.

Father Qin asked everyone to sit on the sofa and said to Xie Qiao first: "Xie Qiao, you scored 119 points."

"Ah?" Xie Qiao was confused and asked, "Is this score high or low?"

Qin's father explained: "For this test, scores below 69 are considered failing, 70 to 89 are below average, 90 to 109 are normal, 110 to 119 are smart, 120-139 are excellent, and above 140 are geniuses."

Xie Qiao cheered: "Then I am smart!"

Father Qin nodded with a smile, then took out He Xiaozhou's answer sheet.

"Xiao Zhou, you scored 113 points."

Everyone looked at He Xiaozhou in surprise, and Xie Qiao was even more puzzled: "Why is Xiao Xiao's score lower than mine? Is there a mistake?"

Father Qin shook his head and said, "Absolutely correct. I checked each of your scores twice."

He Xiaozhou took his answer sheet calmly. At the last moment, he was concerned about Qin Chuan's face and deliberately answered a few questions wrong. In fact, he should have scored more than 120 points.

Father Qin looked at Qin Chuan again, making Qin Chuan even more nervous.

"Dad, how many points did I get in the exam?!" Qin Chuan asked weakly.

Father Qin suddenly smiled, took out his son's answer sheet, and said, "Look for yourself!"

Qin Chuan took his answer sheet with trembling hands, glanced at it carefully, and then saw a striking number.

"121, I got 121 points." Qin Chuan stood up excitedly.

Father Qin smiled and said, "You did well on the test, little bastard."

Qin Chuan excitedly raised his answer sheet and shouted: "I got 121 points, my IQ is excellent!"

Father Qin coughed, interrupting his excited son and said, "Okay! Stop yelling and disturbing others at night!"

Qin Chuan knew that he was not mentally retarded and his IQ was even higher than Xie Qiao and He Xiaozhou. He was so happy that he was a little disoriented.

"Dad, how many points did Xie Lin get in the exam?"

Father Qin slowly stopped smiling, took out the last answer sheet, and said to Wang Gang seriously:
"Xie Lin, uncle, I suggest you find a specialized institution and have your IQ tested again."

Everyone was stunned, thinking that Wang Gang did not do well in the exam.

Wang Gang said indifferently: "Uncle Qin, how many points did I get in the exam?"

Father Qin unfolded the answer sheet so that everyone could see it.

"207 points?" Qin Chuan opened his mouth in shock when he saw the score.

Wang Gang's score was higher than everyone expected, even He Xiaozhou took a second look at it.

"Dad, are you sure? Xie Lin scored 207 points. Isn't the highest score 140?" Qin Chuan snatched the answer sheet from Wang Gang.

Father Qin said very seriously: "140 points is not the total score of this set of papers. Those who can get more than 140 points only represent people with high IQs, and they are geniuses!
Scores above 200 are usually considered extremely rare geniuses, and may be accompanied by extraordinary cognitive abilities, creativity or special talents.

Xie Qiao was surprised and asked: "Is Xie Lin the genius among geniuses?"

He Xiaozhou suddenly realized: "No wonder Xie Ling's first novel was published in a magazine. He has a special talent for writing!" (End of this chapter)
