Shengxia thought about it and agreed. After all, it was a sequential application process, so she was not worried about not being able to go to university. She just knew that if Qin Ge wanted her to go to university, then she would go.
"So what major do you want to apply for?"
Shengxia walked forward with her head down: "It's all right, I'll ask, I want to learn a foreign language, I think foreign languages are easy."
Shengxia asked again: "Do you have enough money? I still have a few dozen dollars. My grandmother's friend's grandson asked me to be her grandson's tutor. I went there for a few days and earned dozens of dollars."
Shengxia complained to Qin Ge angrily. Qin Ge could imagine Shengxia's angry look through the voice on the phone. A smile unconsciously appeared on his lips: "Be good, wait for me to pick you up at home."
Shengxia hung up the phone reluctantly.
Shengxia woke up in the afternoon, grabbed a piece of clothes and went to school to fill out the application form. When he went out and reached the entrance of the alley, he found that Qin Ge was not there. Then he realized that Qin Ge had gone to the city.
Qin Ge always took her to school before. She scratched her head and had to turn around and go to Zhang Xiaofen's house.
Shengxia ran to her house and banged on the door.
Zhang Xiaofen angrily opened the door and asked, "Are you asking for my life?"
"You're not going to school to fill out applications today. Come down quickly and take me with you on your bike."
Although Zhang Xiaofen had a bad temper, she kept cursing and grabbed a piece of clothing and took Shengxia to school.
When they arrived at school, Song Wenjing was filling out her application form. She spotted them the moment she saw them. "Why are you two here just now? I've been waiting for you. Shengxia, you've really brought honor to the school. You're in the top ten in the county. The teachers have been raving about you for ages."
Song Wenjing held two application forms and asked, "Where are you two applying?" She sighed again. Although she arrived early, the application form in her hand was still empty.
"I didn't do well in the exam, so at most I could go to a technical school down there. My dad doesn't want me to go on, saying I won't achieve anything in school anyway, so I should just wait and find a suitable partner and get married."
Just as Song Wenjing finished speaking, the teacher came over and waved Shengxia over.
My homeroom teacher's surname was Zhao. I had been in high school for three years. The first time I saw Shengxia, he smiled and said, "Shengxia, you did really well on the test. You're number one in our school, and you're even ranked among the top schools in the surrounding areas combined. The Education Bureau knows about it. I'll be sending you a big red flower in a few days. Tell your grandma to be ready to receive it."
Then he asked, "Which university do you want to apply to? Tell the teacher."
Shengxia said nonchalantly: "My first choice is Jinghai University, and I can fill in the others casually."
After hearing this, the teacher smiled even more clearly. It was an honor for his resume to be able to teach such a student.
"Have you decided what major to apply for? The teacher will tell you everything he knows." After saying that, he picked up a yellowed professional book, which was filled with professional titles.
Shengxia got a headache just looking at those words. She took a closer look at those majors and her head became confused.
The head teacher was completely unable to laugh. What a waste of such a useful brain. How could it end up on Shengxia's head?
"Shengxia, don't be childish. Listen to the teacher's advice. Don't be childish. Choosing a major is a big deal. It will determine your whole life. You have to be extremely careful. If you really can't make it, ask your grandma to come over and I'll talk to her."
The teacher looked at her for a long time without moving his eyes. "Have you chosen?"
Shengxia nodded, took a pen and filled in the Foreign Languages Department of Jinghai University: Foreign Linguistics on the application form.
head teacher:......"
Song Wenjing, who was standing next to him, gasped: "What are you filling out here? What's the point of learning a foreign language? We don't have any foreigners coming to this small place."
Shengxia said unhappily, "There are no foreigners here, so I can't go out."
She knew her own strengths and weaknesses. She had neither the vision and brains nor the courage and skill to make money. Even if she could predict the major trends of the future, the small potholes on the road might prevent her from getting out of it.
Instead of doing this, it would be better to try her best to follow Qin Ge's wishes in some things she knew. She actually saw that Qin Ge always wanted her to study.
Then just study it, she always thinks foreign languages are the easiest.
After Shengxia finished her selection, Song Wenjing saw that it was unlikely that she could find a job with the major she had chosen, so she said agonizingly, "Then I won't study it anymore and just go straight to the factory."
Zhang Xiaofen immediately said, "What factory? You only care about factories. My dad's factory has started laying off employees. They laid us off without even saying hello! I wouldn't even go in there even though my dad is the director! You're still going? Are you waiting to starve to death?"
Song Wenjing hesitated and said, "No way. There are at least several hundred people working in that factory. I can't just give up my job. If things don't work out, I can always find someone to marry."
Shengxia suddenly remembered that in her previous life, she hadn't seen Zhang Xiaofen and Song Wenjing since graduation. Since their village was remote and many factories directly supplied state-owned enterprises in Hai City, the wave of layoffs hadn't spread to them yet, but it certainly wouldn't last for many more years.
She clearly remembered that in her previous life, when she was watching TV at home, she saw a worker who was laid off and was dissatisfied. He took a torch and burned a family to death. The family was a newly married couple.
The report at the time said that the dead were a newlywed couple working in the factory. The wife's surname was Song, and there were still wedding characters pasted on the wall of their house when the fire broke out.
She did receive the invitation at that time, but because Qin Ge was busy and had no time to see her off, she did not go.
Shengxia's arm was pushed, and she suddenly came to her senses and found that it was Song Wenjing calling her.
"Shengxia? What's wrong with you? Did you get heatstroke?"
Shengxia's face turned pale, perhaps because she was thinking of something terrible. She leaned on the table for a long time before her face turned red.
No, there are countless people with the surname Song in a county town, and there are so many newly married people, she won’t be a quiet one.
Although Shengxia thought so, she calmed down and couldn't help but follow Zhang Xiaofen's advice: "Wenjing, I think Xiaofen is right. Many factories are not doing well right now. This is a general trend. If you go there, there is no guarantee that you will not be laid off in the future. What will you do with your parents and children in the future?"
"By the way, doesn't your uncle own a restaurant in Hai City? I think you should be an apprentice there. People can't live without food. You can learn a skill there. If your husband can make money, you can cook for him at home. If he can't, you can be a chef and you won't starve. And maybe you can open a small restaurant of your own in the future."
Song Wenjing thought about it and felt that what Shengxia said made sense: "That's right, my uncle told my dad about this some time ago. He said that they are short of people and asked me to help. Anyway, I will be a workshop worker for the rest of my life after joining the factory. You guys fill the position first, and I will go home and ask my dad."
