In a short while, the production team of Zhangli Village soon learned that Zhang Qiurui had been admitted to university and was going to study directing at Yenching University.
The people in the production team didn’t know what a director did, but when they learned that the actors in the movie had to listen to the director, they knew that Zhang Qiurui from the Zhang family had made it big.
After all, these days, being an actor is a sacred profession.
Besides, Yanjing is the capital, it is a big place where you can make a name for yourself.
The news that Zhang Qiurui was admitted to the Yenching Film Academy and would become a director in the future spread like wildfire in the brigade, and every household knew about it.
From time to time, people would peek in front of Zhang Qiurui's house. When they saw their naughty child, they would inevitably pull his ears and nag him.
Several team leaders of the Zhangli Village Production Brigade also came to Zhang's house. In addition to congratulating Zhang Qiurui on being admitted to university, they also promised Zhang Qiurui that the brigade would provide her with a certain amount of food coupons and meat coupons every year until she graduated from university.
Although going to university in this era does not require tuition fees and is fully covered by the government, there is also a certain living allowance. However, the allowance is not enough to eat. If you can barely eat 50% to 60% full, you still need some subsidies from your family.
So, these days, once someone in the family gets into university, they are guaranteed a job and a stable job. If they are frugal in eating and drinking, they basically don't need any subsidies or worries from their family.
That evening.
The entire Zhang family gathered together for dinner. The families of Zhang Qiuyu and Zhang Qiujin also returned, and the family was having a lively time.
At the dinner table, Zhang Ercheng's face was flushed, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to have smoothed out with joy. He held up his wine glass and said in a slightly trembling voice, "Our Zhang family has truly been honored this time! Qiurui, you've brought honor to our family. From now on, we can walk with our heads held high in our production brigade."
Zhou Guihua stood by, her eyes slightly red, filled with relief and pride. As she picked up some food for Qiu Rui, she reminded him, "When you get to Yanjing, you must take good care of yourself and don't study too hard. Remember to write home often to let us know how you are doing."
Before taking the college entrance exam, I was worried about whether I would do well. After I was admitted, I was worried that Zhang Qiurui would not be able to adapt to Yanjing. After all, she had never left Xingcheng since she was a child.
Zhang Qiurui sat in the middle, facing her family's earnest expectations, feeling both excited and pressured.
"Mom, who will send Qiurui to study in Yanjing? Qiurui is still young. I feel uneasy leaving her alone in Yanjing to study without any relatives to take care of her." Zhang Qiuyu held Zhang Qiurui's hand and was reluctant to let go. When she thought of this, her grip tightened even more.
"Qiuyu, you don't have to worry about this. I will send Qiurui to Yanjing to study, and I will accompany her to study and do some errands." Zhang Wenfu said hurriedly with a smile.
"If you go to Yanjing, what will happen to your work at the Agricultural Bureau? Can the Agricultural Bureau give you such a long vacation?" Zhou Guihua was not so easily fooled. She glanced at her second son and asked with something in her mind.
Thinking about how his second son had been staying at home these days and had previously said he had taken a leave of absence to accompany them to wait for Qiurui's college entrance examination results and university admission notice.
Now that she heard her second son say that he would accompany Qiu Rui to study in Yanjing in the future, Zhou Guihua knew that this matter might not be so simple.
"My work was taken over by my brother-in-law. It was Qiurui who asked me to go to Yenching University with her. She asked me to do this." Zhang Wenfu was also a smart man. He directly put the matter on Zhang Qiurui so that his mother would not blame him too much.
Otherwise, you will definitely be scolded.
Qiu Rui is the apple of the eye at home. Now that he has been admitted to university, he is the pride and hope of the family. Whatever Qiu Rui says is what his mother will listen to and believe.
"Mom, let my second brother go out and exercise. When I start filming, I'll need someone I trust to run errands and do odd jobs.
Besides, I don't think it's a big deal for me to go to Yanjing to study alone, as I can take care of myself. But since you're worried, I might as well let my second brother go with me to Yanjing so that he can take care of me. "Zhang Qiurui explained with a smile when she saw Zhou Guihua looking at her.
Even though Zhang Qiurui has been admitted to university now, she was only fourteen years old in 1978 and was still a minor.
"Okay. That's the arrangement. Second brother, you will go to Yanjing with Qiu Rui, but you must take good care of Qiu Rui. When you come back at the end of this year, if anything happens to Qiu Rui, I will hold you responsible." Zhou Guihua glanced at her second daughter-in-law and knew that it must have been her idea to replace the second brother's job at the Agricultural Bureau.
As for the second son going to Yanjing with the little girl, the little girl will definitely not treat the second son badly. They must have reached some agreement between them.

"Dad! Mom! Are you still awake?" After washing up at night, Zhang Qiurui knocked on the door of Zhang Ercheng and his partner's room and walked in.
"Not yet. What's the matter?" Zhou Guihua pulled Zhang Qiurui to sit on the edge of the bed, picked up the fan next to her, and started fanning Zhang Qiurui.
"Here! This money is for you and my dad. In a dozen days, I will go to Yanjing to study, and I will not be with you, so I thought of leaving more money for you. Just use the money to buy whatever you want to eat." Zhang Qiurui took out a stack of big unity bills and handed it to Zhou Guihua.
The first day of school at Yenching Film Academy is September 16th. Now it is the end of August and they have to leave early, so Zhang Qiurui can't stay at home for many days and has to go to Yenching.
She was not with Zhou Guihua and Zhang Ercheng, and if anything happened, she would not be able to come back in time, so she had to give them more money to support themselves.
She was also worried that Zhou Guihua and Zhang Ercheng had worked hard all their lives and would not want to spend the money on food and drink, so she would buy some rice, flour and other food from the trading supermarket later.
"Okay, I'll take the money. My daughter knows how to love her parents. Take good care of yourself after you go to Yanjing." Zhou Guihua's eyes turned red when she saw the big stack of unity bills in front of her, and she hugged her little daughter's shoulders tightly.
The little girl is going on a long journey, and they can only see her during the winter and summer vacations. This makes Zhou Guihua and Zhang Ercheng even more reluctant to let her go.
Zhou Guihua also knew that she had written more than a dozen books for magazines. She didn't know how to calculate the royalties of a few dollars per thousand words, but she also knew that her little girl was definitely not short of money.
"Dad, Mom, when I settle down in Yanjing, I will bring you both to Yanjing so that you can have a good look at the capital of our country." Zhang Qiurui promised, hugging Zhou Guihua and Zhang Ercheng on her left and right.
"Okay, your dad and I will wait."
