The days of waiting for their college admission notices were long for the educated youth.

After the exams ended in December 1977, it wasn't until February 1978 that the postman finally walked into the Lianhua Brigade on an ordinary day.

"Lin Yu, Lin Jing, Zhou Huanan, Ou Manqing..."

Those who heard the postman call out their names received their mail, while the others waited anxiously for a long time before asking:

"Is there nothing else?"

The postman smiled and said, "No more, but our manager said this is the first batch, and there might be a second batch later."

The postman's job these days is to deliver admission notices to various brigades.

The leaders knew how much the candidates valued this, so they instructed the postman to tell them not to worry, there would be another batch.

Sure enough, many people breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

As long as there is another batch, there is still hope.

The few who received their acceptance letters were immediately surrounded.

"Factory manager, please open it and take a look."

"Yeah, you should all open them and take a look, see where your application is."

Lin Yu knew everyone was curious, and she didn't mind, so she smiled and agreed.

Upon opening the envelope, as expected, it contained an acceptance letter.

"Congratulations on your admission to the Department of Economics of our university. Please report to our university on March 15, 1978."

The school I was admitted to is the University of Economics and Business in Beicheng.

This was Lin Yu's first choice, and she was admitted directly because her exam score was above the passing mark.

The educated youth's envious eyes were practically overflowing.

Lin Yu's score was the highest among them, and she was admitted to a key undergraduate university.

Let's look at Ou Manqing. She was admitted to a foreign language school, which is also an undergraduate program.

Lin Jing is a journalism major at Beicheng University.

Zhou Huanan was admitted to Renmin University.

Song Meili wasn't jealous. She knew her grades weren't as good as theirs, and she was already doing well to get into a junior college.

After reading the four students' acceptance letters, she said, "Are all the students admitted in the first batch the ones with the best grades?"

The others chimed in, "That should be the case. So, will the second batch be junior colleges?"

Lin Yu agreed with their statement; it was normal to admit students in batches.

In this day and age, getting into a junior college is a remarkable achievement.

Regardless of whether it's a bachelor's degree or an associate's degree, graduates are guaranteed job placement.

As long as you pass the exam, you won't have to worry about not having a good job in the future.

So she said, "Don't be discouraged, just wait a little longer, maybe you'll be in the next batch."

Sure enough, not long after Lin Yu finished speaking, the second batch of admission notices arrived.

This batch admitted even more people; Song Meili, Lin Wen, and three others were all accepted.

All of these people received admission notices from junior colleges. Song Meili was admitted to a teacher's college, and Lin Wen was admitted to a junior college majoring in textiles.

Upon seeing the notification, Lin Wen was both amused and exasperated.

This wasn't her first choice, but she had no choice but to accept it.

Lin Wen's grades weren't as good as her older and younger sisters', and it was already a result of her hard work that she was able to get into a junior college.

She doesn't plan to repeat a year of high school; textile engineering is a pretty good major.

Of the four basic necessities of life—clothing, food, shelter, and transportation—she chose clothing, as she was only somewhat interested in clothes besides writing.

Regardless of what major they were admitted to, the three Lin sisters have certainly made a name for themselves in this year's college entrance examination.

The three sisters all got into university.

Grandma Lin exclaimed, "The ancestral graves are emitting auspicious smoke!"

Grandpa Lin and Lin Aiguo felt very proud and even said they wanted to open an ancestral hall to worship their ancestors.

Lin Yu stopped them in time, saying, "Getting into university is already enough to make people jealous, so let's not be so high-profile."

Lin Shan nodded in agreement, saying, "There are quite a few kids in the brigade who took the college entrance exam, and several of them didn't pass."

Since taking over as factory director, he has considered more and more comprehensively the various issues.

Now Lin Yu and the others have all been admitted to university, but what about those who didn't?

Will they experience negative emotions due to jealousy?

The Lin family's children are all very successful, which might attract suspicion and jealousy from others.

It's better to keep a low profile.

Grandpa Lin and Captain Lin changed their minds after hearing what the brother and sister said.

When good things happen to your family, just enjoy them quietly.

Although he decided not to hold a ceremony at the ancestral hall, Grandpa Lin still secretly paid respects to his parents and ancestors at home.

Silently praying, "May my children be intelligent and successful, and may our ancestors bless them with a bright future..."

This was a beautiful wish, and the three Lin sisters gladly accepted it.

Zhang Bing's admission notice was among the last to arrive; he had been accepted into a teacher's college in his province.

Li Lanhua thought he would choose the school in his hometown, but when she saw the admission notice, she found out that he had not chosen to go home!

Why are you doing this?

Li Lanhua was genuinely puzzled. She always remembered that Zhang Bing's marriage to her was not based on liking or love.

He was simply looking for a backer for himself.

A selfish person like him should have cut ties with her immediately once he had the chance to return to the city.

Li Lanhua had long anticipated this outcome. Since she already had Chenchen, she wouldn't stop Zhang Bing from leaving.

Upon hearing her words, Zhang Bing slammed his fist on the table in anger and said, "Is this how you think of me? Would I abandon you and the child for my own future?"

Li Lanhua frowned: "Why are you slamming the table? Can't you talk things out properly?"

She has a terrible temper; Zhang Bing has never dared to be so fierce in front of her.
