Chapter 201

The news of the resumption of the college entrance examination was announced in October, and the examination will be held in December. In the meantime, students still have to fill in their application forms.

Time is tight and the task is heavy. Even people like Xu Di who are in Beijing are confused, let alone those educated youth who have left the city for many years.

Apart from the most famous universities in the country, they don't know much about the others.

As a result, many people make mistakes in filling out the application form and miss out on the opportunity to go to university.

As for Xu Di, she didn't know which university to go to or what major to study.

In her previous life, she didn't even get into college.

Before she passed away, popular majors such as computer science, new energy, and materials seemed to have never been heard of.

There should be computers, but Xu Di is average in science, especially mathematics and physics, where he is really not good.

Xu Di was afraid that he would not be able to understand or keep up after entering university, so he could not choose science and could only choose liberal arts.

If you choose liberal arts, the range is quite wide.

Politics, philosophy, and literature are the mainstream of the times. Forget about politics and philosophy. She knows herself well and knows she can't handle them.

As for literature, you can give it a try.

The 1980s was the golden age of print media. All major newspapers and publishing houses were good organizations. The 1980s was also the cradle of many famous writers, many of whom are well-known.

I have experienced two lives and read various online novels and stories. Maybe I can become a novelist.

I don’t dare to think about being a writer. In Xu Di’s mind, there is a difference between a writer and a novelist.

As for writers, they should be like Lu Xun, Bing Xin, Guo Moruo and other people who have had a profound influence.

Xu Di wrote and drew on paper, analyzing the colleges and majors he could choose.

"Xiao Di, what are you doing? You've been sitting here for so long, your hair is about to get electrified."

Xu Di's door was open, and Grandma Qian watched her move for a long time.

"Grandma, I'm thinking about applying for college. I don't know what to choose."

"It's time to fill in the application form, so soon?"

"Well, I'll fill it out the day after tomorrow. I've been choosing and choosing, but the range of choices I can make is really limited."

Xu Di talked about her strengths and weaknesses, thinking that her grandmother would be a good choice to give her some advice.

"The literature department at Kyoto University is pretty good. After graduation, you can go to a publishing house or a newspaper, or stay on campus to be a teacher."

"Grandma, you think too highly of me by letting me stay in school as a teacher."

Xu Di was shocked by her grandmother's words. She had also thought about taking an entrance exam to a normal school and becoming a teacher.

However, in the 1980s, being a teacher was not that easy.

In the 1980s, the mainstream was to take the college entrance examination, and teachers were valued.

Since you have chosen to be a teacher, you must be responsible and do your job conscientiously, which requires you to devote the same amount of time and energy.

She has three children and her husband is not at home all year round. What she lacks most is time and energy.

But, university teachers are a different matter.

Looking at Xu Di’s surprised and confused expression, this child is really cute.

"As long as you can get into the Department of Literature at Beijing University and have excellent grades, grandma will help you stay on as a teacher."

"Grandma, are you telling the truth?"

"Really, it's more real than gold."

Grandma Qian looked at Xu Di with a smile. She also had her own selfish motives. Chaoyang was busy with work and couldn't take care of the family. She is getting older and older and is no longer able to do it.

The three children are still young. If Xu Di can have an easy job, the family, the rear base, will be stable, and Chaoyang will have less to worry about and be less distracted, and the chance of accidents will be lower.

What's more, I already have this connection, so why not use it? She also said that if Xu Di wanted to get excellent grades, under the same conditions, others could do it, so why couldn't Xu Di?

She also has the status of a military wife, which is a plus.

Xu Di didn't know what Grandma Qian was thinking. She was rowing quickly, Peking University, Normal University, and which other university had a Chinese department.

Xu Di also has an advantage, she has a certain foundation in English.

In her previous life, in order to accompany her children in their studies, she took English tutoring classes and practiced listening, which really went through a lot.

By studying Chinese and auditing English classes, she had a double guarantee.

She understood her grandmother. It was not easy enough for her to help her deal with things, so she couldn't let him down.

Having made up his mind, Xu Di stopped hesitating. When there is a flat road to take, who would want to choose a bumpy path?

The next night, Xiaojun and Xujia also came. They wanted to ask about volunteering.

"Second sister, I still want to join the army and apply to a military academy. Looking at these schools, which one is better for me to choose?"

Xu Di didn't know much about military academies or the military system, so she asked Comrade Zhang Chaoyang.

"Your second brother-in-law said that military universities are better. The development of the military will also rely on technology. Why don't you choose a major like information technology in the military academy?"

Most of Xu Di's knowledge about the army comes from disaster relief videos, TV dramas, and movies.

"Okay, I get it, let me take a look."

Xiaojun knew that what his second brother-in-law said was absolutely right.

"Xiaojia, what do you want to do?"

"Sister, I want to make money so I can buy beautiful clothes and hair ornaments."

Xu Jia's eyes were shining and he was very ambitious. He was really unlike Xu Di who was so Buddhist.

"Then you can study economics or accounting. You can make money in the future."

This is Xu Di's understanding. She knows that accounting is becoming more and more popular. She is not sure what economics is specifically about, but it seems that after graduation she may be assigned to the Foreign Trade Bureau or something.

No matter what, Xu Di still knew most of it, and was considered to be the most knowledgeable among all the people.

After discussing the matter in general, Xu Jun took Xu Jia home.

After filling out the application form, there are only a few days left before the actual exam.

Nuannuan takes her sister out to play, so Xu Di has nothing to worry about.

Time passed day by day. After receiving the admission ticket, Xu Di went to see the examination venue, a middle school two stops away from her home.

The night before the exam, Zhang Chaoyang called back.

"Wife, I'm sorry, I can't take you to the exam."

"It's okay. I'm confident I can do well in the exam. Grandma is taking care of everything at home, so you don't have to worry."

Xu Di felt a little lost, but when he thought of his profession, he comforted himself that everything was for the prosperity of the motherland and for the stability of the country.

"Wife, I will try to come back and spend the New Year with you this year."

"Okay, Zhang Chaoyang, write it down in your notebook. You will have to make up for what you owe me, the children, and grandma slowly in the future."

"I remember, I have written down several articles in my little notebook, I will never go back on my word.

Don't worry, wife. I will repay you all if I get the chance. ”

Zhang Chaoyang's tone was much more relaxed. He knew it wasn't easy for Xu Di, her grandmother, or her three daughters.

"Okay, we'll remember that.

Let Nuannuan and the others talk to you while I check what I need to bring tomorrow. ”

Xu Di gave the microphone to Nuannuan. Tuantuan and Yuanyuan also stayed close to their sister, wanting to hear their father's voice.

"Dad, come back when you're on vacation. My great-grandmother, mom, and sister and I are waiting for you at home. We are all fine and not sick."

Nuannuan feels that she is a grown-up child now and cannot cause her father to worry.

"Don't worry, Dad."

Tuantuan said one sentence and then stopped talking.

Yuanyuan took the phone and said, "Dad, when you come back, take us to buy chocolates. Antai, the crybaby, said his dad took him there.

I said that when my father comes back, he will take us there.

Dad, come back early. ”

Yuanyuan has the best language expression ability among the three sisters.

Zhang Chaoyang's eyes were filled with tears, and he agreed to everything on the other end. If his daughter wanted stars or the moon, he would find a way to pick them.

After talking for a while, the time was almost up and the three children said goodbye to their father.

Xu Di lay on the bed, listening to the breathing of the two children beside her. Her excited heart slowly calmed down, and she fell asleep unknowingly.
