After the college entrance examination, it's time to wait for the admission notice.
Many people in Maoer Hutong also took the college entrance examination, and many checked their answers the next day.
Those who gave the same answer beamed with joy.
The answers differed, and each person wore a long face.
Jiang Zhixing was also pulled over to check the answers. After checking, he returned dejectedly, feeling uncertain about his future.
With a worried look on her face, she asked Xu Ningyan, "Sister-in-law, I compared answers with theirs, and it seems like most of them don't match. Am I going to fail the exam?"
You should know that his older brother had warned him that if he dared to fail his exams, his brother would break his legs!
He was so afraid he wouldn't be able to save his leg!
Xu Ningyan, sipping tea and munching on sunflower seeds, was speechless upon hearing this: "Can't you be a little more confident? Are their answers wrong? Is your answer correct?"
Jiang Zhixing thought about it again and realized that it made sense; they had been led astray by the group of people outside.
He was forced to do practice problems with Xu Ningyan every day. You have to know that the mentors behind Xu Ningyan who get freebies are all amazing.
If he can't pass the exam, then those people outside are even less likely to pass.
Thinking about it this way, maybe my answer is right and everyone else's answer is wrong!
Thinking this way, a sudden realization dawned on me: "Sister-in-law, how about we check our answers together?"
Xu Ningyan replied with a single word: "A gift of song and dance."
Jiang Zhixing chuckled and quickly sent Run off to play with his two nephews.
As for college application choices, they were filled out well before the college entrance examination.
Xu Ningyan's goal was clear: the History Department and Chinese Language and Literature Department of Peking University.
Generally speaking, many people would choose majors such as journalism, physics, or finance.
Xu Ningyan had already thought it through. With the Jiang family's current wealth, this courtyard, and the other courtyard given by Jiang Yuan, plus the money they had, they were not short of money at all.
Xu Ningyan was well aware of her own limitations. She was good at theoretical discussions and small-scale dabbling, but when it came to actually pursuing a career in finance, her intelligence was not up to par. Otherwise, she might end up dragging Jiang Zhiyuan down instead of achieving anything.
She was never a very ambitious person. If things continue as they are, as long as Jiang Zhiyuan's career goes smoothly, their family will live a very comfortable life.
Besides, just because she doesn't study finance doesn't mean she can't make money.
She had already heard that the housing policy was starting to loosen, and that people were gradually being exonerated and returning to Beijing. She planned to buy a few courtyards to hoard, so that in the future, not to mention herself, her two sons would have enough to live on for a lifetime.
At worst, she can find some capable and talented people to invest in, and then sit back and make money. Wouldn't that be better?
I fell deeply in love with the atmosphere of working in the library.
When I graduate, I'll try to stay at the university to teach, or I can become a librarian at Peking University.
It's so relaxing and comfortable, and the environment is so simple. How wonderful!
Jiang Zhiyuan naturally knew that she had applied to study history.
Although he didn't understand, he expressed his respect.
As for Jiang Zhixing, he filled out two applications. His first choice was the Foreign Affairs University, but unfortunately, the Foreign Affairs University had not yet reopened.
The only universities that can be applied to are Beijing Foreign Studies University and Renmin University of China.
After a long wait, the first college admission notice in Mao'er Hutong was delivered to the Jiang family.
It was delivered by the neighborhood committee with great fanfare.
When it arrived, Xu Ningyan was idly designing onesie cotton-padded suits for the two brothers, Jiang Chen and Jiang Zhan.
Winter is the time to dress children in onesie down jackets.
After the two children turned one year old, Sister Mei began training them to walk.
The two boys were chubby and wore many layers in winter, so they naturally couldn't walk steadily.
Xu Ningyan has parenting books in her space, so she naturally knows that children should not be prevented from walking in advance, otherwise it will be bad for their leg development.
So I made it clear to Sister Mei that we shouldn't rush the child to walk; let nature take its course, and the child will walk naturally when the time is right.
Mei was quite anxious at first, because in most families, if a child is over one year old and still can't walk, the adults in the family will get worried and wonder if there is something wrong with the child.
Children are usually trained to start walking.
She was also worried that Xu Ningyan and Jiang Zhiyuan would be anxious or blame her for not taking good care of the child, which was why the child was over a year old and still couldn't walk, which was why she was in a hurry to train him.
To her surprise, Xu Ningyan wasn't in a hurry at all, which put her at ease.
When it comes to making clothes for children, Sister Mei is the best.
She has been trained by Xu Ningyan. As long as you draw a picture and explain the details, Sister Mei can figure it out in a moment and make it.
This time, Xu Ningyan is making a horse-themed outfit.
It has a chestnut-red body, a cute cartoon head, and a fluffy tail.
As the two were talking, they heard the sound of gongs and drums outside, which grew closer and closer until it stopped at their doorstep, and then someone knocked on the door.
As soon as the door opened, the neighborhood director and the neighbors who had come to watch the commotion rushed in.
The director of the neighborhood office first congratulated Xu Ningyan, saying that she had been admitted to Peking University with the second-highest score in the city, and that they had come today to deliver her admission notice.
He then handed Xu Ningyan a manila envelope.
Xu Ningyan opened the envelope and, as expected, it was an admission letter from Beijing University. Although she had estimated her score beforehand, she felt it was pretty good.
But now that I've actually received the admission letter from Beijing University, I feel a bit dazed.
Congratulations poured in from the sidelines, but Xu Ningyan could only smile.
After finally seeing off the neighborhood committee director and the neighbors, they closed the courtyard gate.
Xu Ningyan then realized that her cheeks were sore from laughing.
He rubbed his cheeks and looked down at the acceptance letter in his hand before it felt real.
She really got into Peking University!
You have to understand that in her previous life, she worked incredibly hard, and in the end, she only managed to get into a top-tier university.
I never imagined that after time-traveling, I would actually be able to get into the legendary Peking University. Sigh, I wonder if my ancestors' graves will be emitting auspicious smoke!
Upon receiving the news, Jiang Yuan took leave and rushed home.
In the past, I would wash my hands first and then hold my two grandsons when I entered the house.
Today, I couldn't even think about my two grandsons. After washing my hands, I went to look at Xu Ningyan's admission notice. When I saw the words "Beijing University" on it, I couldn't help but tear up: "Great! This is wonderful! Xiaoyan, you've really made us parents proud! Such a happy occasion, let's all go out for Peking duck tonight to celebrate!"
After saying that, he looked at the admission notice over and over again, even happier than if he had been admitted himself.
Jiang Zhiyuan also received the news and became somewhat restless.
He felt proud of Xu Ningyan for a moment, but also a little disappointed and worried. Xu Ningyan was young, smart, and much younger than him. He was already incredibly lucky to have married her.
Before, I could barely comfort myself by thinking that I was old, caring, had some status and money, and could protect and cherish her. That was the only thing I could offer.
But now his wife has actually been admitted to Peking University with the second-highest score in the entire capital. Her brilliance will only become more and more dazzling in the future, and her future is limitless.
And it seems that I have less and less to give her.
