Chapter 97: Each One's Dream



Early Monday morning, after finishing her breakfast, Shen Yao went out with her canvas bag.

Because she was in a good mood these two days, she rushed to school very actively.

The first thing to do when you enter the classroom is to hand in your homework.

After two classes, Shen Yao was choking with the heat. She felt that if she continued like this, she would get a lot of prickly heat.

She turned around and looked at her classmates, and found that everyone was sweating profusely!

Some students used books as fans, some used palm-leaf fans brought from home, and only a few used folding fans.

Shen Yao sat in her seat, fanning herself with a folding fan because the classroom was too stuffy.

The whole classroom was like an oven, and no one was in high spirits.

At this time, the temperature continued to rise, and there were no fans in the school, so everyone had to endure it.

"Oh, it's too hot today. How can we endure it if it gets this hot?"

Shen Qiu said in a depressed tone. She started to get prickly heat on her nose from staying in the stuffy classroom every day.

She didn't dare to be exposed to the sun these days, otherwise the feeling of bursting would be really uncomfortable.

"My clothes are soaked with sweat. It's only late June and it's already so hot. I'm worried I'll pass out when I take the college entrance exam in July."

Xue Xiaoxue fanned herself and wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief.

She is afraid of heat, so every summer is particularly hard for her.

But this summer is hotter than ever before. The scorching sun shines down every day, and it is hot no matter where she goes, making her particularly irritable.

Shen Yao listened to what the two people were saying and she agreed with them because she was also feeling hot and depressed.

However, Zhou Lingling was very quiet today. She did not participate in the topic that Xue Xiaoxue and Shen Qiu talked about as she did in the past, which seemed very abnormal for her.

Shen Yao looked at Zhou Lingling who was lying on the table, her eyebrows slightly raised, and she felt a little confused.

How come this person, who is usually so lively and talkative, becomes so different after a weekend?

At this moment, Zhou Lingling looked listless, like a small flower bud that had been beaten by wind and rain.

She poked Zhou Lingling's cheek and asked her with a smile, "Lingling, what did you do on your holiday? Why do you look so listless today?"

Zhou Lingling looked up at her and said weakly, "Yaoyao, my father insisted that I study medicine and join the army as a doctor after graduation, but I don't like being a doctor. I really don't know what he is thinking."

There was a family meeting in her house yesterday, and the content of the meeting was to let her study medicine in college. When she heard the news, she was completely shocked!

She had never thought of becoming a doctor, but her parents suddenly decided her future path, which she couldn't accept.

She argued with her father for a long time at home, but failed to shake his decision, which made her feel very powerless.

In the end, she had a quarrel with them and cried, then locked herself in the room to think for a long time. She still hadn't figured it out until she left the house this morning.

Shen Yao rubbed her head and asked softly, "Lingling, if you don't like being a doctor, what was your original dream?"

"I originally wanted to apply to a normal university, and after graduation, become a teacher!" Zhou Lingling said gloomily. She has always admired teachers who teach and educate people.

So since she was a child, she has always wanted to become an excellent teacher when she grows up.

After listening to what Zhou Lingling said, Shen Qiu excitedly shook her arm and said, "Lingling, we actually think alike. I also like the profession of teacher. This time, I plan to study at the Teachers College in Tianhai City for the college entrance examination."

She also likes to be a teacher, and it would be great if Lingling could take the entrance exam to a teachers' college together, so that they could have someone to look after each other.

"How come you two have the same hobbies? I'm not suited to being a teacher. I can't handle facing a large group of students every day."

Xue Xiaoxue shook her head. With her straightforward personality, she was really not suitable to be a teacher.

If she really becomes a teacher, not only will she not be able to manage her students, she might even get into fights with them.

Shen Yao covered her face and sighed. What she feared was bound to happen. She had not expected that these two carefree girls would like to be teachers and were so obsessed with being teachers.

If it were twenty years later, she would definitely support them in pursuing their dreams, but not now.

Although in the current environment, being a teacher is a very popular and respected profession!

But this situation can only last for a few years at most. After seven years, being a teacher will be a high-risk job!

In fact, she had considered many careers for Shen Qiu, but she had never considered being a teacher. However, the girl's idea was exactly the opposite of hers.

This gave her a headache. She had to dissuade them from thinking this way. She didn't want to see her good sister being driven to death by students or losing her job in a few years!

If they had really filled out the Normal College application form when taking the college entrance examination, by the time they graduated from college, it would have been 1963, and the Special Period was getting closer and closer.

By then, being a teacher will be a deadly profession!

Therefore, a career like teaching is absolutely not an option now.

Otherwise, when the special period comes, the intellectuals will suffer great misfortune, and not just ordinary misfortune.

Shen Yao adjusted her mood. She took Shen Qiu's arm and smiled at her, "Sister Qiu, you promised to accompany me. I was going to apply to Fudan University to study foreign languages. But you want to choose the Teachers College. Are you planning to abandon me?"

"Yaoyao, don't worry, I will definitely accompany you. Wherever you go, I will follow you. I will never abandon you."

Shen Qiu was mesmerized by her smile and nodded back at her stupidly.

"I knew Sister Xiaoqiu couldn't bear to leave me behind." Shen Yao smiled, with a gleam in her eyes. Then, she continued, "Sister Xiaoqiu, it's settled then. Let's apply to Fudan University in Hai City together!"

When Shen Qiu heard this, she almost bit off her tongue. She realized that she had been tricked by Yaoyao again, and tears immediately flowed in her heart. It was really the beauty that misled her.

She nodded helplessly and said, "Okay - I remember!" After that, she sighed deeply.

Alas, she was so sad. She had a sister who was a top student, and she was always outshined by the other sister in everything. Every time they discussed a problem, she never won.

Shen Yao pinched her cheek, then she looked at Zhou Lingling.

With a smile on his face, he said, "Lingling, you can actually consider studying medicine. It's a good career. Also, have you ever thought about whether you are really suitable to be a teacher given your personality?"

Zhou Lingling looked up at her with her mouth wide open. Why did Yaoyao say the same things as her mother? Her mother also said that her temperament was not suitable for being a teacher.

She said she was used to being casual in her daily life, but if she really had to face a group of naughty kids every day, would she really have the confidence to persevere?

Maybe she really needs to calm down so that she can make the right choice.

She smiled and replied, "Yaoyao, I understand. I will think about it carefully and tell you when I have made up my mind!"

Shen Yao raised the corner of her mouth slightly and showed them a faint smile...
