In fact, the news of resuming graduate studies was released at the end of last year, and Qiu Yuling had been preparing for it. However, the school was not ready and there were not enough majors for enrollment. Later, the two levels were merged, and it became the same as this year, with both levels taking the exam together.
With an extremely high score, Qiu Yuling became one of the first batch of graduate students after the resumption of the college entrance examination at Peking University.
This year's class had over 400 finalists, and Qiu Yuling was fortunate enough to join, but she wasn't complacent. Due to the unique nature of her work, she had already begun training Zaohua's leadership team as early as possible.
But it is impossible for her to completely let go, so she has another identity, which is to join as a student sponsored by the unit.
You have to know that the teachers who teach this group of students are really big guys who are at the forefront of the times.
Most graduate students choose to quit their jobs so they can devote themselves full-time to graduate studies.
Such graduate education opportunities are very rare, and everyone is eager to improve their professional level through systematic study and research.
To lay a solid foundation for future higher-level scientific research, teaching, or professional and technical work, I am willing to give up my current job to focus on further study.
This was also the reason why Qiu Yuling was not so active beforehand, because she could not completely abandon her current work and devote herself to studying wholeheartedly.
In her opinion, learning is just a way to make her work more convenient, and she should not be restricted to any form.
If it weren't for the strong recommendation from the Higher Education Department and someone from the Central Cadre Bureau asking her to develop her potential to the maximum extent and balance work and study, she would not have considered getting involved in this mess at this time.
Fortunately, this period was a stage of exploration, and it was also an era that greatly yearned for and valued talents. The school finally agreed to Qiu Yuling's part-time work and study status.
She will travel back and forth between Wu City and Jing City more frequently.
After the report, she made a special trip to visit her third brother and his wife, including Li Qingmei and his wife, who rented a small farmyard halfway between the two schools.
Li Qingmei and her friends shared the courtyard they rented with other families. "It's just three rooms, a tiny place, and it costs twelve yuan a month. It's almost like robbery. I think our place is better. The sky is high and the land is wide. We can even graze a donkey in the courtyard..."
As soon as Qiu Yuling arrived, Li Qingmei pulled her daughter's hand and started to talk to her. Her words were full of disdain for Jingshi.
I feel that this place is not worth it as you have to pay to even eat a piece of onion.
Qiu Yuling patted her hands and said, "Are you short on money? I'll give you food and drink. If you don't have a ticket, just go to the free market and buy something a little more expensive that doesn't require a ticket. Don't be so mean."
"No need for you to give it to me, I have it on hand. Besides, your third sister-in-law is very cunning. She sold her job in advance to register for the college entrance examination. It was your third brother who didn't listen to her at the time. But it's not a small amount. She sold it for 600 yuan, enough for anything..."
After rambling for a long time, Qiu Yuling finally realized that her third sister-in-law was not always reckless. Compared with her third brother, she was even quick-witted.
"Is Qing Landou's schooling going smoothly?" When they came, Qiu Dashu had already settled the schooling issues for the two children. Now, Li Qingmei was the only one at home.
The four members of Qiu Dashu's family went to school together and went home together. Qiu Jianshe, on his daughter's request, walked around the city every day like going to work, asking who was selling their house...
"Your father was talking about this the other day. Someone is actually selling a house. If you're not in a hurry to leave, wait for him to come back and ask him to take you to see it. He said there are two houses, one big and one small, just across the street.
But it is said to be from the old city wall, and it is quite expensive..."
At this time, how expensive could it be? Qiu Yuling became interested.
It would be difficult to delegate this matter to anyone else except her own parents, who would not only save her from making up lies but would also spare no effort to think for her.
Sure enough, it was almost noon when Qiu Jianshe came back. When he entered the house and saw Qiu Yuling, he was surprised at first and then happy.
"My Lingwa is here. Daddy told you, it's just as you said. Many people are scared. Now that the higher-ups have relaxed a little, they're rushing to sell the house. I've looked at several places. After dinner, Daddy will take you to have a look..."
During the meal, Qiu Jianshe briefly told Qiu Yuling about the information he had gathered. "There's a place with more than a dozen rooms in the front and back yards combined. It's cheap, costing three thousand yuan. It's the cheapest I've found in the past few days. But there's one downside: it's full of people, and getting them to vacate the space is a big problem..."
Qiu Yuling mentioned another place that he liked, the one at the foot of the Imperial City. Qiu Jianshe was very pessimistic about it because the person there asked for 30,000 yuan. He felt that the person there was asking for too much and was just playing around.
"Dad, after we finish eating, take me directly to see the one that costs 30,000. If it's really like what you said, I think we can still bargain for it. The location is good and I like the size.
If it's suitable, we can also buy the smaller yard across the street, and you and my mother can live there."
"Hey~ Your mother and I don't like living here. It's very hard. When you're all set and don't need us anymore, we'll go back to Qiu Village, look after our big yard, and raise some chickens, piglets, and so on..."
Qiu Yuling didn't force them to do anything now, thinking that they would know what was right and wrong in the future.
The priority is to take it first.
Because of this incident, they had lunch in a hurry. Qiu Yuling was very anxious, fearing that those overseas Chinese or Hong Kong businessmen would take advantage of her first.
Qiu Jianshe had been running around for about a month and knew a lot of middlemen. When he looked at this house, he was even regarded as a middleman by the owner. So this time, he skipped even the middleman and directly took the buyer to find the seller.
In fact, Qiu Yuling was wrong. At that time, the overall real estate market was in the welfare housing distribution stage under the planned economic system. The concept of commercial housing had not yet been popularized, and house buying and selling were not common. As a special form of residence, the transactions related to the siheyuan were even rarer, and the transaction activity was extremely low.
In addition, the house was large and the price was not low, so Qiu Yuling was the first buyer to bid.
The sellers have all thought that if they really can't sell the property, they will find a middleman to take care of it while they pack up their belongings and go abroad to live with their relatives, for fear that something might happen in the long run.
So Qiu Yuling tentatively paid back 25,000 yuan, and the other party tentatively added 1,000 yuan. Qiu Yuling estimated the location and the area of the three-courtyard house and felt that she had found a bargain.
I agreed immediately.
Seeing that she was a genuine buyer, the seller tentatively asked, "Girl, I have another courtyard with two entrances not far from here. We're familiar with each other now, so if you want it, I'll give you both at a reasonable price..."
