Chapter 937 Another Encounter with a Mama's Boy 3
If you have the opportunity to learn, you should study hard.
Suddenly, a slight clicking sound came from my mind.
Ning Yan hurriedly went to observe her sea of consciousness, and good heavens, the barrier had several cracks, and it seemed that it was about to shatter.
She sensed that she was not far from returning to her "true self".
...
As the "department beauty," top student, and only student in the paleontology department, Ning Yan is quite popular at school. Even though she spends her days going between the classroom, cafeteria, and library, and many people pursue her, she rejects them all, focusing solely on her studies.
In the second half of the year, several professors called Ning Yan to their offices to discuss how to arrange the class schedule.
Of course, this is a bit of an exaggeration. It mainly follows the professors' schedules, but Ning Yan's schedule also needs to be taken into account. After Ning Yan indicated that her class could be shortened, the professors understood.
In particular, the professors of the courses "Plant Biology" and "Animal Biology" directly highlighted the key points for her.
"If you don't understand something, you can ask the teacher or send an email. Just make sure you understand the knowledge thoroughly. You can attend classes if you want, and we'll give you perfect attendance."
Well, Ning Yan doesn't know about others, but she certainly enjoyed it.
Of course, her grades were also excellent, so excellent that the professors were willing to indulge her.
Ning Yan is also willing to indulge her teacher.
This feeling of being a single seedling in a vast field will last for four years, and she's afraid she won't be able to persevere.
Therefore, she wanted to skip a grade.
The professors in her major courses were aware of her learning progress, so they all agreed to let her take the exam to skip a grade at the end of the semester.
Ning Yan also lived up to expectations, first completing the first-year exam and passing it, and then finishing the second-year exam.
The result was, of course, a successful pass.
Before the holiday, Professor Xu, a geology professor, called her to his office and asked, "Ning Yan, would you be interested in becoming my graduate student?"
"Professor, I'm only a freshman. Isn't it a bit early to be talking about this?"
Professor Xu smiled kindly, "It's getting late. You're not just a freshman, you're about to be a junior. And with your learning pace, I think you can finish your undergraduate degree in two years."
A year is about enough for a master's degree. Once you complete your coursework, research training, thesis writing and defense, you can finish your studies early and then go straight to a PhD program.
Don't worry, the teacher will take care of the work.
He can speak on behalf of the geological bureau, the land bureau, and even students who want to do scientific research.
Ning Yan immediately said, "I need to discuss it with my family. My mom agrees that I should pursue a master's degree."
Professor Xu was amused by her. He had heard before that his only student was a "super mama's girl," and now it was confirmed.
"Then ask now. Here, here, you can borrow the phone."
Ning Yan actually had a cell phone, but Professor Xu was afraid that such a good student would miss out, so he insisted that Ning Yan make the call in his office.
Ning Yan had no idea that more than a dozen of her colleagues in the department were all eyeing their shared student, and it was a matter of first come, first served.
Ning Yan had no choice but to call her mother in front of the professor. When Zuo Yuzhen learned that the professor wanted her to pursue a master's degree, she immediately told her to agree, "A degree will become more and more important in the future. Even if you have the opportunity to study again after you start working, it will be very difficult. It's better to start now."
"Okay, I'll listen to Mom."
Professor Xu: ...
Professor Xu had a lot to say, but he was still very happy that things had gone well!
The matter of pursuing a master's degree was settled, or rather, Ning Yan's matter of pursuing a master's and doctoral degree was settled.
Professor Xu was overjoyed to have such an outstanding disciple. He took her to his home, and his wife personally cooked for Ning Yan. She also found more than a dozen books for her to read when she went home for the holidays.
Ning Yan wasn't afraid of the teacher assigning tasks, but these books were all very thick and really heavy to hold.
...
Because she had successfully skipped a grade, Zuo Yuzhen took her daughter to a jewelry store as soon as she returned home for summer vacation.
In one year, Ning's father had saved enough money to pay off the loan ahead of schedule.
The family still had some savings, and they rented out the large apartment again, which was enough to cover their daughter's monthly living expenses, so the family was rich again.
"Mom, we don't need to buy it, I don't really like it anyway."
"What do you know? Buying gold now is an investment. It makes you feel good and you can also make a profit. It's more cost-effective than buying anything else."
Ning Yan: I have to admit that some people's perspectives are just different from those of ordinary people.
She didn't refuse anymore and only took a gold bracelet, weighing a little over 50 grams.
The rest should be bought for her mother.
"Don't be silly. Mom is a public servant. She can only wear a ring or necklace at most. Anything more is not allowed."
"Then let's just go to the bank and buy gold bars."
Zuo Yuzhen surprisingly did not object.
The mother and daughter bought another half a pound of gold at the bank; the price of gold was only 124 yuan per gram at the time.
On the way home, Zuo Yuzhen joked, "From now on, every year when the family has a surplus, we'll buy gold and save it for your dowry."
Ning Yan: "No need, we don't need a betrothal gift or a dowry, but we can definitely stockpile gold."
"Looks like you have a goal in mind?"
Ning Yan: "No, you know I'm the only one in the whole department, and I even had to skip a grade, so how could I have time to date?"
While waiting at a traffic light, Zuo Yuzhen glanced at her daughter and asked, "Do you plan to stay in Beijing or go back to K City in the future?"
"I'll listen to my parents."
"If you want to give it your all, of course you should stay in Beijing. The pressure is great, but so are the opportunities."
If we want a more stable life, we should go back to K City. To be honest, I'm quite worried about you not being around.
Of course, there's no rush to make a decision about this; you can think about it after you graduate.
Ning Yan felt that the original owner's parents were really democratic. She didn't know why the original owner felt controlled. She guessed that she was just rebellious.
"My teacher said that she would help me find a job after I graduate."
"That's great. If you can stay in Beijing, I can retire there and enjoy my retirement."
She is only forty-four years old this year, and she still has more than ten years until retirement.
"I'm saying this just to tell you that if you plan to stay in Beijing, then date someone from Beijing. If you want to go home, you need to think it over carefully."
However, before committing to a relationship, you should let your parents see you. They've had more experience than you young people, so their judgment is usually quite accurate.
Ning Yan nodded vigorously: "Okay, okay, I'll only date someone if Dad and you both approve."
Zuo Yuzhen didn't expect her daughter to be so obedient. She used to be a bit rebellious, but she learned to behave herself after going to university.
Ning Yan: ...I'm a complete mama's girl now, so naturally I listen to whatever my mom says and everything my mom says is right.
...
The Ning family now lives in an ordinary three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment. The living room is spacious, but the bedrooms are a bit small. It wasn't that they couldn't afford to move before, but this place is close to Zuo Yuzhen's workplace, and everyone in the neighborhood is someone they know. They've gotten used to living here and are too lazy to move.
