Fu Hongguo and Fu Xiuchun applied to the same university, Northern University. Fu Hongguo applied for computer science, while Fu Xiuchun applied for library science. They applied to the same university mainly so that they could take care of each other.
Fu Xiumei and Zhang Xiaofeng, however, applied to Aoki University. Xiumei applied for management, while Xiaofeng applied for history.
Aoki University and Northern University are in the same city, and the two schools are not far apart; it's about a two-stop bus ride.
The four of them applied to other schools in the same city as their second choice, because when you're away from home, you need to stay together and look out for each other.
Ning Jing and Fu Hongxing were feeling uneasy because they hadn't asked how the exams went after they were over.
When Fu Hongguo saw this, he was afraid of affecting Xiuchun, Xiumei, and Xiaofeng, so he didn't say anything to comfort his sister-in-law.
The whole family was waiting at home for the school's notification, because this year's college entrance examination was in winter, and if they wanted to enroll, they would have to register next spring.
The wait wasn't long; when they received the four acceptance letters, the entire Xishan Village was in an uproar.
Four college students came from their village! What an honor that is!
Fu Hongguo, who provided the review materials for the school in the county, got into two schools, one of which was a junior college.
By the time those educated youth learned the news, it was too late. They had long forgotten all the knowledge they had learned while working in the fields every day.
This last-minute cramming for the exam resulted in almost no one passing, a piece of news that greatly frustrated many educated youth who wanted to return to the city.
Some are happy while others are sad. Many people from the village would come to the Fu family to ask Ning Jing what method she used to get all four of her children into university.
Everyone wants to know if there are any shortcuts to getting into university.
Ning Jing couldn't help but complain in her heart. They only saw the glamorous side of Hong Guo and Xiu Chun, but forgot the ridicule they had faced when they gave their jobs to others and stayed home to study.
Not to mention, all four children in the family study from dawn till dusk.
But when Ning Jing told everyone that there was no secret, just reading books, no one believed her.
Whether you believe it or not, Ning Jing told the truth, and there's nothing that can be done if people don't believe her.
After the New Year, Ning Jing and Fu Hongxing packed their things and entrusted the rest of their children to Wang Guihua's care.
Then the couple and Fu Hongguo and the other three took a car to Siping City, and then bought train tickets to go north.
The train journey will take about three days and three nights, and the reporting time is around the 15th of the month.
Ning Jing and Fu Hongxing went early, partly because of the four of them: Fu Hongguo and Fu Xiuchun went to one school, while Xiumei and Xiaofeng went to another.
We need to arrange two of them first, and then arrange the other two.
If we arrive late, and there are any issues on the way or at the school, we won't have time to deal with them.
Since we're going anyway, we might as well go sooner rather than later, get things done, and then we can put our minds at ease.
After all, we worked so hard to get into this university, we can't let something bad happen to us!
Because she was going so far, Ning Jing had prepared a lot of food for the journey.
Besides food, we asked them to bring a bedding set and a change of clothes.
