During the review period, she borrowed books for the next semester from older students so that she could not only review her lessons but also find time to study the books for the next semester.
She decided to get good grades in the first semester to solidify her position in the professors' eyes. Then, she would subtly suggest wanting to finish her studies early. If the professors agreed, she could then focus on learning more. She wouldn't need to deliberately aim for high scores then; simply passing each course would suffice.
Anyway, she went to university with a goal in mind: to get a diploma and not to actually do research in this field in the future.
For her, time is the most precious thing.
The school started arranging exams in early February.
Everyone in the dorm was incredibly nervous. As it was a final exam in university, everyone took it very seriously. Moreover, Su Yu had set a rule that those with poor grades would be kicked out, so everyone was worried about doing poorly on the exam and being expelled.
Even Li Ping was a little worried. Although she considered her grades to be quite good, Jiangdong University was full of talented people, and she couldn't guarantee that she would do very well on the exam. Especially since Su Yu wanted her to be the student council president after the New Year. If she didn't do well on the exam, she wouldn't be able to run for president. She didn't care whether she could become the student council president or not, but she didn't want to disappoint Su Yu.
When she went to the exam hall, Su Yu saw that she looked serious and laughed, "What's wrong? It's not the college entrance exam. Relax."
"Sister Su Yu, what if... what if I don't do well on the exam?"
"Then just take the test again," Su Yu said dismissively. Then she raised an eyebrow at Li Ping, "You're not worried about getting kicked out of the student council if you don't do well on the test, are you?"
"..."
Seeing Li Ping's flushed face, Su Yu patted her shoulder and said, "A successful person needs a strong heart. You have to believe that even if you have to retake the exam a hundred times, you will definitely pass next time."
Li Ping: "..." As expected, she still wasn't thick-skinned enough.
There were two exams in total, and Su Yu did very well. For someone like her who likes to highlight key points, as long as she puts in the effort, there's no way she can do poorly on an exam.
She estimated that even if she didn't get first, second, or third place in her major, she should at least be in the top ten.
If she gets into the top ten, she'll talk to her teacher next year about finishing her studies early.
After the exam, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
After packing their things in the dorm, everyone was in a bad mood. Su Yu was moving out of the dorm this semester and would be going home. Even though they were reluctant to let her go, no one tried to stop her. Su Yu's decision must have its reasons, and they couldn't let their own selfish desires change her mind.
"Sister Su Yu, you must come back to visit us often."
Wang Xiaoli hugged her and said.
Su Yu smiled and said, "Don't worry, we're still in the same department, so we'll have plenty of opportunities to meet in the future. I'll get together with you guys when I have time."
The others came over and hugged her. Xu Lili, on the other hand, awkwardly packed her things, pouting and remaining silent as she watched everyone being so affectionate.
"Sister Su Yu, let me see you off." Li Ping, carrying her schoolbag, helped Su Yu carry her things. She was always the first to pack, so that she could leave with Su Yu whenever she wanted.
The others hadn't finished packing yet, so they couldn't leave together.
Su Yu smiled and nodded, "Okay, let's go together."
After leaving the dormitory, Li Ping said, "Sister Su Yu, I'm starting winter training during winter break. I want to experience what it's like to be a soldier. Sister Su Yu, do you want to come with me?" She didn't want to be separated from Sister Su Yu at all.
Upon hearing this, Su Yu said seriously, "I won't go. I'm following the political line. I plan to go to my boyfriend's county to experience grassroots life in advance." Become a soldier? Someone like her shouldn't be a burden to the People's Liberation Army comrades.
Li Ping pursed her lips, knowing in her heart that she was going to take a different path from Sister Su Yu.
Seeing her dejected, Su Yu comforted her, "Work hard, and whatever you do, be a useful person."
Li Ping nodded solemnly, "Sister Su Yu, I will work hard. I will be someone who can be useful to you."
Su Yu: "..." She really didn't mean that.
After returning home and resting for a while, Grandma Liu cooked soup, made pancakes, dumplings, and meat buns, taking good care of Su Yu and making her very comfortable.
Not only was Su Yu comfortable, but the entire Su family was comfortable. Su Dazhi was practically in tears.
That evening, the family ate meat buns and drank meat soup, their eyes red. Only when my sister was home did life feel this good. Even my mother-in-law seemed kind and approachable.
Before Su Dazhi could even be happy, Su Yu said, "Auntie, go buy some more meat tomorrow. Make ten meat-filled buns and ten cabbage-filled buns."
Su Dazhi was overjoyed. Then he heard Su Yu suddenly say, "I'm going to Jinhe County later."
"..." Su Dazhi, with a steamed bun in his mouth, asked, "Sis, where are you going?"
"I'm not sure, at least a week. Comrade Dongzheng just went there, and I'm a little worried, so I'm going to check on him. I'll also take the opportunity to learn about the work of grassroots cadres," Su Yu said earnestly.
What she lacked was this kind of grassroots experience, and this trip was a good opportunity for her to learn more.
Su Dazhi couldn't swallow the bun anymore. Oh no, he was going to have to eat pickled vegetables again.
