"Now if you want to hold a banquet, you have to pay for everything, and it costs a lot of money." Sheng Yunfang spoke up from the other end.

"Yes, yes, my fourth sister is right. Besides, there's no time to make arrangements."

Our schools are both quite far apart, so we'll need to spend a few more days traveling. We still have a lot of paperwork to complete, so we're worried we won't have enough time.

Besides, my second and third brothers and my sister-in-law aren't home, so there's no point in arranging this banquet. Let's save the money.

"My sister-in-law is about to give birth to her third child, and there will be many expenses in the future." Sheng Yunfei nodded repeatedly, agreeing with her sister's opinion.

For these sisters, it would be great if they could get into university and study smoothly.

"Among my classmates, many girls went home to work after graduating from junior high school, and got married a few years later."

We are fortunate to still have the opportunity to attend university, to leave this remote mountain village, and to study and live in a big city.

"Dad, Mom, eldest brother, second brother, we are very content, really."

The two girls are very sensible and know that their family has had a hard time. The effort their parents put into raising six children safely is beyond their imagination.

Now that they are going to university, they will have a brighter future and should be even more grateful, instead of adding unnecessary burdens to their families.

"Alright, since you've put it that way, then whatever you want."

I'll bring you some extra money later, so when you go to the big city, don't let people look down on you.

We're not talking about comparing food and clothing with others, but we can't be too shabby or unfashionable. We only have two younger sisters, how can we not pamper them more?

"Okay, thank you, big brother," the two girls said in unison with a smile.

"Brother, you'll have to take us to school again this time. It's too far, and we've never been there before," the two girls began to whine.

"Tch, thinking about it now is too far-fetched? Why didn't you two consider this when you were choosing your colleges?"

Sheng Xiping didn't know much about filling out college applications, so he only offered some suggestions and didn't interfere otherwise.

He never expected that his two younger sisters would apply to schools so far away, and that they would actually be accepted.

That's good. Both Shanghai and Guangzhou are good places with great potential for future development.

If the two girls can establish themselves now, they'll definitely have nothing to worry about in the future.

After the family discussed and agreed on the matter, they spread the word that the registration time was too tight and there was no time to hold a banquet, so the Sheng family would not accept any gifts or hold a banquet after the two girls were admitted to university.

When the news spread, the various groups in the forest farm reacted differently.

Just as Sheng Xiping had guessed, some people secretly denigrated the Sheng family, saying that the Sheng family favored sons over daughters.

They throw a big banquet when their son gets into university, but they don't give any special thanks when their daughter gets in.

Some reasonable people said that organizing a banquet costs a lot of money, and the Sheng family has had several members pass the imperial examinations in recent years, so they can't celebrate every time.

Saving money is the right thing to do, after all, Sheng Xi'an and Sheng Xikang are not young anymore, and they will need to get married and have children in the future.

The next day, it was time for Sheng Xi'an to return to school, and she took a car and left.

Two days later, the bureau called to say that the admission notices had arrived and that the Sheng Yunfang and Sheng Yunfei sisters should go and pick them up.

Sheng Xiping accompanied his two younger sisters to pick up their admission notices and completed all the necessary procedures.

On September 2nd, Sheng Xiping, who had asked the forest farm for leave, took his two younger sisters on a journey to study in another place.

The three of them took a train from Songjianghe to Tonghua, then transferred to another train in Tonghua to the capital, and then took another train from the capital to Shanghai.

This time they had the notification letter, so they could buy tickets without a letter of introduction, and their journey went smoothly.

After arriving in Shanghai, I first accompanied Sheng Yunfang to complete the enrollment registration procedures.

After settling into his accommodation, Sheng Xiping went to visit Sister Hui and Xiao Peng, among others.

Over the years, Sheng Xiping and Sister Hui have maintained correspondence.

Hui Jie's job has been transferred from northern Xinjiang back to Shanghai, and she is also returning to her old family home. She is currently working as a quality inspector in a factory.

Sheng Xiping brought Hui Jie a linden wood chopping block, along with some gastrodia elata, wood ear mushrooms, and other things. Weiwei had grown quite a bit and was very friendly to Sheng Xiping.

When Sister Hui learned that Sheng Xiping's younger sister had been admitted to a university in Shanghai, she was overjoyed and kept telling Sheng Yunfang to come to her house whenever she had time, and that she could come to her for help no matter what difficulties she encountered.

In the evening, Sister Hui and her husband hosted a dinner for Sheng Xiping and his two siblings. The group chatted and laughed together, making for a lively atmosphere.

With Sheng Yunfang settled in, Sheng Yunfei was in a hurry to report for duty, so the siblings couldn't stay in Shanghai for long and took the train to Guangzhou the next day.

Trains these days are really slow. After a day and a half of rattling and swaying, we finally arrived in Guangzhou, the forefront of reform and opening up.

After getting off the bus, I was greeted by a landscape completely different from that of Northeast China.

In this season, the autumn wind in Northeast China is already quite cool, and the leaves on the trees are beginning to turn yellow.

But in Guangzhou, the weather is still as hot as the dog days of summer, and lush green plants and bright flowers can be seen everywhere along the roadside.

Those plants are different from those in the north; their leaves have a waxy coating, making them shiny and beautiful.

The school has a special reception area for new students at the station. Sheng Xiping led his sister to the reception area, and after confirming the admission notice, a person took care of sending the Sheng siblings to the school.

Sun Yat-sen University has a long history and is a prestigious old university, so the campus environment is naturally excellent.

With the guidance of the reception staff, Sheng Yunfei successfully completed the enrollment procedures and was assigned a dormitory room.

After Sheng Yunfei settled in, Sheng Xiping was able to breathe a sigh of relief. So he stayed at a hotel near the school for one night, and the next day he accompanied Sheng Yunfei to buy some daily necessities.
