Chapter 163: Soldiers and doctors do not conflict
When several leaders met Shen Jidong face to face, they were still shocked. Although they knew from the beginning that Shen Jidong was very young, at least for the students taking the college entrance examination this time, Shen Jidong was definitely the youngest.
There are so many people across the country, and I dare not say that Shen Jidong is the only one, but among them in Yunnan Province who can get such results at this age, Shen Jidong is indeed the only one.
"Good boy! What a good boy, he has such ability at such a young age, his future is limitless!" The director of the Provincial Education Bureau came in person this time, and when he saw Shen Jidong, he couldn't help but burst into tears.
After all, the university has been abandoned for so many years. As people who are engaged in education, I feel very gratified to see with my own eyes a young man still studying hard in such an environment.
A strong youth means a strong country. With young people like this, why should their country not prosper?
Shen Jidong behaved very modestly and politely, which made a group of leaders very satisfied.
After all, there are really few rural children who are so polite. It’s not that we look down on rural children, but because of the particularity of this era, many rural children can only attend literacy classes and recognize their own names, let alone learn etiquette.
And Shen Jidong is very good at dealing with people.
"Both universities you applied for this time have sent you admission letters, but you can only choose one, so I brought you both. As for which one you choose in the end, it's up to you. But I hope that no matter which university you go to, you can stay true to your original aspiration and keep studying hard and making progress every day!"
The director handed over two gold-stamped admission letters with a smile. It is worthy of being the best university in the country, even the admission letter is so impressive.
Chen Jintao watched with a smile on her face. In fact, she had seen such a notice in later generations. Compared with the notices from Peking University and Huaqing University in later generations, this one was considered very ordinary. But in this era, this notice looked quite impressive.
"Okay, thank you, leader. I will consider it carefully and will definitely choose the school that suits me best!" Shen Jidong took the two notices. In fact, although he looked calm on the surface, he was actually very excited in his heart.
"Good!" The director of the Education Bureau led the applause, and soon there was endless applause.
People from the newspaper actually came to interview Shen Jidong and Shen Jidong's family.
Even Shen Jintao and Huo Beichuan were pulled to the front, mainly because of Shen Jidong's words, "I can persist in studying thanks to my sister's encouragement. My sister always told me that opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared, and I have always believed in this!"
Now, a group of people surrounded Shen Jintao and asked her a variety of questions. Some asked her why she insisted that her brother persist in studying.
Chen Jintao replied: Regardless of whether the college entrance examination will be resumed or not, the knowledge learned in your mind is yours.
Some people also asked Chen Jintao what her job was, and Chen Jintao briefly explained some of the things she could say.
Finally, it was Shen Jianmin and Xu Xuemei's turn. Seeing so many familiar faces, the two were not too nervous and answered the reporters' questions honestly. Later, they took a group photo, etc. It was already noon when they finished.
Xu Xuemei wanted to invite the leaders to have dinner at her home, but they refused and said that they could not take anything from their comrades, and then left.
At the beginning, with so many leaders present, the villagers were still very reserved and didn't dare to say anything. But when everyone left, it was different and they all cheered.
"Dongzi has really made us proud. I never thought that our Huaxi Brigade could produce a top scorer!"
"That's right! It's amazing!"
"Hahahaha, I'm so envious. The captain is really grinning from ear to ear. When will the banquet be held?"
"Yes, yes, this must be done with everyone's participation!"
"Do it! We will definitely do it. The specific time will be decided after we have discussed it."
Shen Jianmin waved his hand. In fact, Huo Dongsheng should have held a graduation banquet a long time ago. Although his grades were not as amazing as Shen Jidong's, they were also very good. Beijing Normal University was also the best normal school in the country, and students who graduated from it would never have to worry about finding a job in the future.
But Huo Dongsheng insisted on waiting until Shen Jidong's admission letter came out before holding a graduation banquet together. He didn't think Shen Jidong would be worse than himself. If Shen Jidong really didn't pass the exam and missed the best university, then he wouldn't hold the banquet.
Everyone knew that the two families would definitely hold a graduation banquet together because of their relationship, so no one thought it was a big deal.
Everyone congratulated the Shen and Huo families, but some people had other thoughts.
After sending the others away, the Chen and Huo families sat together to discuss the time for the graduation banquet.
"Taozi and Beichuan will be returning to the army after the New Year, so maybe three days later."
It is now the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, and three days later it will be the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, which is a very good day.
There are still three days to prepare. After all, there are so many people to eat, and the banquet must be decent.
"Since our two families are doing it together this time, why not just invite the whole team!" Shen Jianmin said with a smile. Shen Jianmin's smile has never faded since he received the call from the leaders.
"Sure!" Liu Guifen and Huo Chenggong also agreed very much.
In previous years, we only needed to set up a few tables for wedding banquets, and one person from each family would come. This has basically become a convention. After all, life was not easy for everyone in those years, and it was the same for every family holding a wedding banquet.
If the relationship is really good, two or three people may come, but this situation is very rare.
"That's great! Although the two children are not in the same university, they are both in Beijing, so they can take care of each other. Not bad!"
Xu Xuemei was also happy from the bottom of her heart.
Shen Jidong suddenly looked at Shen Jintao, “Sister, which university do you think is better for me to go to?”
"It depends on what you want to learn." Shen Jintao would not give advice rashly.
"I want to study medicine, but I also want to join the army like my brother-in-law. I don't know what to choose for a moment." Shen Jidong looked really conflicted, his face wrinkled into a ball.
Chen Jintao suddenly burst out laughing, "What are you struggling with? This is not a conflict in itself. Don't you know that there is a profession called military doctor in the army?"
Now it was Shen Jidong's turn to be dumbfounded, and then he slowly broke into a huge smile, "I didn't think it through before, and I got into a dead end."
Yes, military doctors are very good. They are soldiers and doctors who save lives.
