Jiang Si put the form away and said to Huo Tingzhou, "Let's go, let's go see Teacher Hu."
It was a rare treat that there was a heavy snowfall last night, and several families made plans to have hot pot together at Teacher Hu's house for lunch.
When Jiang Si's family arrived, Sister Hu was sitting on the sofa, holding her forehead.
The Wei brothers, Wei Dong and Wei Min, stood obediently to the side.
Seeing Jiang Si arrive, he quickly winked at her, giving her a pleading look.
Jiang Si was still a little confused. "Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"
"Sigh, it's all because of them." Hu Meili sighed, pointing to her two sons, "Guess which universities these two boys applied to?"
If she hadn't asked that question, Jiang Si might not have thought of it that way.
"Did they apply to schools in other cities?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Hu Meili said in a slightly breathy voice, "That's right, they applied to Hunan University of Technology."
Jiang Si was stunned for a moment. What kind of school is this?
Just as I was wondering, Huo Tingzhou next to me explained, "This school was moved from Harbin Military Engineering Institute and was later renamed Hunan Provincial Institute of Technology."
He paused, then added, "I heard that it might be renamed the National University of Defense Technology after New Year's Day."
Jiang Si knew about the National University of Defense Technology as soon as she heard its name.
Seeing Teacher Hu's sullen expression, she could only try her best to comfort her, saying, "Sister-in-law, those two brothers have had this idea for a long time, you should know that."
Hu Meili did not deny this; she was just a little reluctant to part with it.
The National University of Defense Technology is great, but it's too far from Beijing.
"If only they had chosen a school in Beijing, they could have come back on weekends." As she spoke, Hu Meili's eyes instantly reddened.
Upon hearing this, the two brothers, who had been silent all along, quickly said, "Mom, we can come back during winter and summer vacations!"
"Why don't we let the kids go?" Xiao Zhengjun chimed in, poking his head out of the kitchen. "If you miss them, I'll take you to Hunan Province to see them when I'm on vacation."
He shouldn't have spoken, because once he did, Hu Meili was furious. "It's all because of you!"
If he hadn't been talking about this and that in front of the two children every day, how could they have run so far away?
"There are so many good schools in Beijing! Why do we have to go to Hunan Province?"
"Yes, yes, yes, it's my fault, it's my fault!" Xiao Zhengjun apologized crisply and decisively.
After saying that, he picked up the completed application form from the coffee table and made a move to tear it up.
"Forget it, let's just discard this form. Have them get a new one this afternoon and apply to schools in Beijing."
"What do you mean 'calculate'! Take your hands off me!" Hu Meili immediately glared at the three men, father and sons.
She was reluctant to let them go, but if her two children wanted to go, could she really stop them?
"I really owe you all..."
Before she could finish speaking, the two brothers looked at her with surprise and delight. "Mom, you agreed!"
"What can we do if we disagree?" Hu Meili said irritably. "We can't just tie you up at home with a rope, can we?"
"Thank you, Mom!"
"Don't thank me, the exam is in a few days, so you'd better make the most of these few days."
She saw in the newspaper that there were five or six million applicants this year.
Top military academies like Hunan Provincial Institute of Technology reportedly only recruit around two hundred students nationwide.
This acceptance rate is comparable to a thousand soldiers crossing a single-plank bridge.
The two brothers weren't too worried about it; as long as their mother agreed, they would leave the rest to them.
"Let alone Teacher Hu being reluctant to part with it, I felt a little sad myself when I heard that."
On the way back, Jiang Si and Huo Tingzhou said with emotion, "We used to think that the children couldn't live without us, but now we realize that it is actually us parents who are reluctant to let go."
Huo Tingzhou agreed wholeheartedly and squeezed her hand, "Jingxing and Jingyan are still young, they won't be able to yet."
Jiang Si nodded.
But sometimes, you shouldn't speak too definitively!
Early that morning, Zhuo Mingda suddenly rushed over, accompanied by two middle-aged men with refined manners and wearing glasses.
