As for Xu Manman, her studies are fine. After all, she has a cheat space and has many times more study time than others. She is outside now, mainly tutoring Chen Ming and helping him organize his thesis.
She also caught up with Xu Jianguo's studies. Like Chen Ming, he is now pursuing a double degree. And similar to Xu Manman, he applied for the exam as soon as he entered the school and got the credits for the English course in advance.
Xu Manman was also not idle in private. These two months were enough time for Caleb Gold to carry out activities. It has now successfully brought the host to sign in to the maps of Washington and New York in the United States. Now there is less time left for Hong Kong City, and it is busy planning and making things happen in the United States every day.
On Monday, November 26, Xu Manman stood on the podium with her graduation thesis in hand. She fought against nine people and debated with them, successfully passing the first hurdle of graduating from an undergraduate program in economics.
On Friday, November 30, Xu Manman and Chen Ming, speaking fluent English, systematically introduced the contents of their papers to the audience, had lively and friendly interactions with the tutors in the audience, and successfully obtained their passes.
During this month, Xu Manman and Chen Ming took part in two examinations led by the Ministry of Education. After passing many tests, they finally qualified.
In early December, Xu Manman received five large packages from Hai City. When the last package arrived, Xu Gang and his wife also arrived in Jing City.
During the same period, she and Chen Ming both received notices from the school office that the list of students going abroad was finalized and that they needed to provide additional information for visa and passport applications.
In mid-December, Xu Manma and Chen Ming took the exams for their major and their second major respectively. The exams lasted for a week.
In late December, the two attended the graduation ceremony in the auditorium with the same batch of students who graduated early. Xu Manman successfully obtained a double degree in economics and English. At the same time, she was also the first batch of undergraduate graduates after the resumption of the college entrance examination.
Chen Ming obtained a degree in English and is currently studying computer science.
As a result, their schedule for going abroad was also set, and they would depart a week after New Year's Day.
Chen Meiyu helped Xu Manman pack her luggage in her room. "We're leaving next week. We're so pressed for time that we won't be able to spend the New Year at home."
Xu Manman put her arm around her mother's shoulders and said, "Mom, just think of me as someone who went to the countryside. Back then, I could only go home once every two years, and that was always with my eldest cousin."
"How can it be the same? When you go to the countryside, at least you are still in your own country. If anything really happens, your father and I can still go to see you. But you are abroad now, and it is not a place we can reach you just by thinking of a way. If something really happens outside, your father and I..." Thinking of this, Chen Meiyu felt a little uncomfortable and choked up and couldn't continue.
Xu Manman hugged her mother and rubbed her. "It's okay, Mom. Don't worry. We are students sent abroad by the government. If anything happens, we can go to the embassy. Think about it, the country spent so much effort to send us abroad, they will definitely not ignore us, right?"
Chen Meiyu calmed down and continued what she was doing. "These past few days, your father asked someone to exchange some US dollars for you. Keep them for yourself. Don't be too frugal when you go out. If you run out of money, just write back."
In order to reassure her parents, Xu Manman really couldn't refuse the money. It was troublesome to exchange foreign currency now. The small stack that Chen Meiyu took out probably meant most of the family savings were gone.
What Xu Manman didn't expect was that this time she and Chen Ming were both assigned to the United States. She later thought about it and thought that it was probably because of the establishment of diplomatic relations this year.
However, the specific city and school to which they will be assigned are still unknown.
On Sunday, January 6, 1980, Xu Manman and Chen Ming brought their luggage and gathered at the Capital Airport. Today, 60 international students from major universities were going to the United States to set off together.
Of course, there are definitely more than 60 people selected in the same batch. Each country has an allocation, and this group of people is only allocated to the United States.
When they gathered together, Xu Manman couldn't help but feel a little fortunate. Although she might not be assigned to the same university as her cousin, at least they were both in the United States, so it wouldn't be difficult to meet if they wanted to.
Otherwise, if you cross the country, the visa issue alone will be very difficult. After all, it is not like decades later, and China's visa status has not yet improved.
Led by the tour leader, they passed through security and customs smoothly and boarded the plane.
