On her second day at the Qian family home, Chen Runan discovered that the men of the Qian family were very busy, and the women of the Qian family were also very busy. Not to mention Qian Duoduo, who would disappear after eating, her own mother-in-law had met with several groups of aunts and older women in the village who were "relatively close" to her since breakfast.
Then the granddaughter and grandson showed off their relationship repeatedly. In addition, the mother-in-law had lived in the city for a long time and didn't speak much of the Northeastern dialect, which made the visiting aunts feel that the difference between them was not small.
Even she and her sister-in-law, Wen Yugui, had to be visited, until five days later when fewer people came to the house. She and Wen Yugui accompanied their mother-in-law to their uncle's house, where they met the cheerful aunt, the sister-in-law who went to study after only one meeting, the younger sister-in-law who spoke flatteringly but had envy in her eyes, and the second sister-in-law who always had heartfelt conversations with her.
After returning home, Chen Runan said to Wen Yugui, "These three sisters-in-law in the old man's family seem to be quite different."
Wen Yugui said, "I have dealt with you before, sister-in-law, but it wasn't like this back then. I just heard Zhen Qiao say that she is preparing for the college entrance examination."
Chen Runan nodded. They had returned to China because of the country's talent reform.
Qian Duoduo returned during dinner, and Wen Yugui said with a smile, "Duoduo, you've had a busy day!"
Qian Duoduo nodded and said, "I'm studying and preparing for the college entrance examination. I just want to give it a try!"
Jin Jinxiu immediately asked, "Old lady, can you do it?"
Qian Rao immediately said, "It's definitely possible. My little sister is such a good student, how could she not succeed?"
Chen Runan said, "I may not be able to help with other things, but I can help with foreign languages."
Qian Duoduo's eyes lit up and she said, "Second Sister-in-law, really? Thank you so much! I also want to learn a foreign language, but I don't have a good teacher!"
Chen Runan smiled and said, "Of course, that's no problem."
Wen Yugui smiled at the two of them and asked, "Can I learn from them?"
Chen Runan nodded: "Sure!"
Wen Yugui turned to look at her younger brother and found his eyes were bright; it seemed he really liked him!
On November 12th, all the educated youth, farmers, workers, and intellectuals in Shangzhi County who were going to take the college entrance examination went to the middle school in the county town to fill out their college application forms.
When Feng Niaoniao, Yun Yi, Liu Yuan, and Qian Duoduo arrived at the middle school gate, it was already packed with people. Qian Duoduo was astonished by the sheer number of people.
Before long, the school gates opened, and the people poured in like a tide. However, once inside, they only saw ten tables and ten chairs sitting there all alone. There was no one there, no documents, and everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
A short while later, twenty police officers walked over and began to string a rope along the edge of each table. Qian Duoduo smiled when she saw this. That's more like it. Without rules, there's no order. If you want to fill out your college application, then you must follow the rules to fill out the form.
Standing on the high platform, Secretary Lu looked at the line that had been forced to form due to the police cordon, nodded, and said to Qian Mao, "That's a good idea!"
Qian Mao said with a smile, "This can prevent people from cutting in line and pushing and shoving."
Secretary Lu nodded and said, "You should join the Party after the New Year!"
Qian Mao immediately smiled and said, "Thank you, leader!"
Secretary Lu glanced at this person who only showed joy in front of him, smiled, and turned back to look at the line not far away: "I didn't expect there to be so many people taking the college entrance examination this year."
Following Secretary Lu's gaze, Qian Mao spotted Qian Duoduo and his group in the ranks and said with a smile, "This is a life-changing moment."
Qian Duoduo received her college application form and walked to the side. She saw that Feng Niaoniao and Yun Yi had filled in Beijing University without hesitation, and even Liu Yuan had written a normal university in her hometown. She hesitated. Where should she write?
While she was still hesitating, she saw a figure in olive green appear in front of her. She looked up and saw it was a People's Liberation Army soldier.
Lu Yuan knew that he would be filling out college applications during this period, but he still came in order to get this supernatural energy power bank to his side.
Qian Duoduo smiled and said, "Uncle PLA soldier, it's been a long time."
Lu Yuan was a little annoyed when she heard this address. When you were little, you called me "Uncle PLA," and there was nothing I could do about it. But you're a grown woman now, and you could get married in a few more years. Why are you still calling me that? I'm not that old, am I?
However, sensing that the supernatural energy was advancing at a slow pace, he gritted his teeth and finally forced a smile that looked more like a grimace, saying, "Little girl, didn't we agree that you would call me brother?"
Qian Duoduo tilted her head, blinked, and said, "Uncle is a respectful term!"
Lu Yuan almost blurted out "brother" as a nickname, but then realized it was inappropriate. He said, "I'm not that much older than you. Calling me that makes me sound old!"
Qian Duoduo shrugged indifferently and looked down at the application form in her hand.
Lu Yuan said, "I don't know how to choose a school?"
Qian Duoduo nodded and said, "I don't want to be too far from home. The only options close to home are military academies and tech giants. Sigh, it's really worrying!"
Lu Yuan's eyes lit up: "Is that military academy Harbin Military Engineering Institute?"
Qian Duoduo nodded, while Lu Yuan shook his head: "This won't work. It's all navy personnel there, not suitable for a young girl like you. Besides, can you even handle going on a ship?"
