The Sheng sisters, Sheng Yunfang and Sheng Yunfei, achieved good results in the college entrance examination. Sheng Yunfang was admitted to Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, and Sheng Yunfei was admitted to Sun Yat-sen University.

Now, the Sheng family's children have spread across the country, from the far north to the far south, including Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou.

Before the notification arrived, the school received the news first, and the principal happily sent someone to deliver it.

Sheng Liancheng and Zhang Shuzhen were dumbfounded when they heard this.

The couple had little education, so they couldn't offer any advice when their child was filling out college applications; the school teachers helped with the decision-making.

Upon hearing that the two girls had been accepted to schools far from home—one in Shanghai and the other in Guangzhou—it became clear that...

Especially the school that Sheng Yunfei applied to, which was almost like going from the far north to the far south, the couple was very worried at the time.

"What was this child thinking? Why did they choose a school so far away?"

"How long will it take to get home this time? It'll probably take five or six days on the road alone," Zhang Shuzhen muttered, puzzled.

"Sigh, it's no use saying anything now. My child finally got into university, and the acceptance letter has already arrived."

I've heard people say this school is pretty good. It's far, so what can I do?

Sheng Liancheng also sighed. He originally thought that the schools his two sons had been to were already quite far away, but his two daughters were even more impressive, going to schools thousands of miles away.

If I find a partner and get married there in the future, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back for several years.

"No matter where the children are, as long as they are successful and have a good life in the future, that's enough."

"Let's not follow the example of those who are not thinking straight and insist on keeping their children by their side just so they can have an easier time in the future," Sheng Liancheng advised Zhang Shuzhen.

Fortunately, Sheng Liancheng and his wife were both quite open-minded, not the kind of rigid and ignorant people.

Although the couple didn't quite understand why their child was going to such a far-away school, they didn't do anything else and quietly started preparing for the children.

The news that both of Sheng's daughters had been admitted to university quickly spread throughout the forest farm and Dajianchang village. Most families were happy for the Sheng family after hearing the news.

"Where do you think the Sheng family's ancestral graves are located? How come their children are so successful?"

Other families have one college student and that's fine, but this family has four. Seriously, how did they raise their children?

Of course, while there are those who admire and praise, there are also those who are jealous and resentful.

"What's the use of a girl getting into university? She'll just get married in the end anyway."

Her family went to great lengths to support her through schooling, and she got a good job, but then she married into another family and became their servant.

"I really don't know what the Sheng family is thinking. They treat their daughter like a treasure, shouldn't they just support her until she finishes high school? Why bother with college? It's such a waste."

Regardless of what others were saying, the Sheng family was overjoyed.

Facing the guests who came to offer their congratulations, Sheng Liancheng and his wife couldn't stop smiling.

"Well, your mother and I have discussed it, and this time we won't be having a banquet."

Our family has had a lot of big and small things going on these past few years, so it's not appropriate to throw a banquet to celebrate every little thing.

"Both of you live too far from home, so let's save the money we have for you as pocket money. What do you two think?"

During the day, everyone asked when the Sheng family would hold their banquet. Sheng Liancheng and his wife only said that they needed to discuss it with the children. So in the evening, the family sat down to discuss it.

"Dad, our fourth and fifth sons finally got into university. Shouldn't we have a celebration?"

"If our son gets into university, we throw a huge banquet, but if our daughter gets in, we don't make a fuss at all. Won't people say we favor boys over girls?"

Sheng Xiping held Sheng Xinyu in his arms and pondered for a moment before speaking.

“Yeah, Dad, I think it’s not a good idea to do it this way either.” Sheng Xi’an, who was about to return to school, also spoke up.

Sheng Xi'an, who will graduate in six months, has already been recommended for postgraduate studies at the same university.

These days, graduating with a bachelor's degree is considered very impressive, and usually you can get a pretty good job.

Graduate students are trained to become experts; once they graduate, they'll be extraordinary.

At first, Sheng Liancheng and his wife couldn't understand why they couldn't work after four years of schooling and needed to study for another three years.

He's so old and still studying, when will he ever get married?

Later, Sheng Xiping explained to his parents that Sheng Xi'an's personality was more suited to research.

If you achieve something in any field, you'll become a scientist, and your job will definitely be good—even better than a bachelor's degree.

With Sheng Xiping's encouragement, Sheng Liancheng and his wife finally felt relieved.

Forget it, let the child study if he likes it. If he can really make a name for himself, he won't have to worry about finding a wife.

"No, that's not how it's said."

Boss, you've been making a lot of money these past two years, dealing in timber and fruit with your older brother and the others.

Although we don't talk about it outside our family, others can still find out if they want to.

Now, the fourth and fifth children have both been admitted to university. Out of the six of you siblings, four have become university students.

Our family may seem prosperous now, but behind the scenes, countless people are envious and jealous.

Right now, our family isn't interested in anything high-profile; the more careful we are, the better. We can't afford any extravagant celebrations or unnecessary fuss.

Zhang Shuzhen shook her head. They had experienced too much in their lives and seen all kinds of storms. It was better to be cautious than to make a big mistake.

"Your wife is pregnant now and will give birth in the winter. Who knows what kind of trouble it will cause when you bring the baby home after it's born?"

For now, let's keep things quiet as much as possible.

"Yes, brother, what our parents said makes sense."

Whether or not there's a banquet is just a formality. We won't go through that formality; we'll still go to school as usual.

Now that you have a job, you can't go hunting and fishing like before. Our pig will be slaughtered in the spring.
