Chapter 365: The First Volunteer
"So, go make a phone call first?"
Lu Miao nodded his chin.
The He family has been worried about their college entrance exams lately, and the Lu family in northern Beijing is also paying attention to this issue.
After the call was connected, Lu Miao chatted with Tang Mei for a while.
Lu Miao said that passing the exam shouldn't be a problem, but Tang Mei was still worried and kept nagging.
He told Lu Miao that it didn’t matter if he failed the exam, and not to be discouraged.
He was just short of saying "Your dad will help you."
Lu Yuanzheng was rarely at home, and the call was answered at Huaerzuo.
Fearing that Tang Mei might speak carelessly and cause trouble, Lu Yuanzheng snatched the phone away:
"Ask Xiao Fu to answer the phone."
“…”
Lu Miao was speechless for a while.
I thought to myself, am I your biological child, or is he your biological child?
She's your own daughter, and you don't even ask a single question?
"I told you to answer it!"
Lu Miao pouted coquettishly and handed the phone to Fu Jingyou.
Fu Jingyou took the microphone and responded to the person on the other end of the phone with an "hmm" from time to time, while keeping an eye on his surroundings.
Seeing that there was no one outside, he took Lu Miao's frozen hand and put it in his pocket.
"Okay... um, sure... got it. Okay, I'll call you as soon as the scores are out, um..."
After a series of responses, Fu Jingyou hung up the phone.
Turning the phone back to the switchboard room, he nodded, thanked him, and walked out with Lu Miao in his hand.
"What did Daddy say to you?"
"Fill out the application form first, and we'll talk about it on the way back."
After hearing what he said, Lu Miao knew that some things were not suitable to be mentioned in such a crowded place, so he did not ask any more questions.
Lu Miao thought that this time would be the same as in later generations, where one would choose a major after passing the exam and entering university. However, he found out that it was not the case when he got the application form.
The application column is divided into four columns, with five rows in each column.
National key universities occupy one column and general universities occupy another column.
In total, you can fill in ten preferred schools, and the selected department must also be filled in.
Fu Jingyou had never been exposed to these things before, and Lu Miao was afraid that he would fill in the form incorrectly, so he wanted to explain it to him.
As a result, when I leaned closer to him, I saw that after he filled in his family background information, he had quickly filled in his first choice.
Jingshi University, major in Mechanical and Electrical Engineering.
Beijing University is one of the key universities in the capital and is also Lu Miao's first choice.
They had talked about this at home before, and Fu Jingyou always kept it in mind.
Anyway, he could fill in ten, so Lu Miao didn't say anything to him, but when it came to his major, Lu Miao was still a little nervous.
Seeing that he had filled out a second application for Beijing North School, and his major was still mechanical and electrical engineering, Lu Miao quickly grabbed his sleeve.
"Have you ever heard of the major of electromechanical engineering? Why do you choose this?"
I don’t know if I can change this choice after arriving at the school, so I’d better be cautious.
"It's still early, let's take our time and think about it, don't fill it in randomly!"
Fu Jingyou glanced to his side and saw the comrades in the archives room craning their necks to look at them.
He put down his pen and said to the comrade behind the window:
"Let me borrow your pen for now, I'll return it to you later."
Although they are from different departments, they are all part of a large unit. Everyone is familiar with each other and it is easy to get along.
The comrade in the window nodded.
Fu Jingyou put away the pen and the application form and took Lu Miao to the state-owned restaurant.
After sitting down in a corner of the restaurant, Fu Jingyou ordered Lu Miao's favorite dishes and also ordered a warming soup.
When there was no one around, he lowered his voice and said a few words:
"Dad said there's a policy now where people with working-class backgrounds can get 20 extra points for choosing a corresponding major. I thought about it and decided that electromechanical would be the safest choice."
As he spoke, he took out the application form and continued to fill it out.
Lu Miao held him down and said, "Don't just think about safety. This is about the future. There are so many opportunities. You can also consider your preferences."
Fu Jingyou nodded seriously: "I know."
As he spoke, he filled out an application for the mechanical and electrical engineering major at Beijing North School.
After filling in the schools in northern Beijing, he started filling in those in neighboring Tianjin, and his speed was so fast that Lu Miao couldn't stop him.
"You said you knew!"
"You and the child are my likes, preferences, and love. Fill this out safely. I'm happiest when our family is together."
Fu Jingyou's peach blossom eyes curved slightly, and his words blocked all of Lu Miao's words.
“These are incomparable to anything else.”
Lu Miao was speechless. Her heart was touched. She bit her pink lower lip and her eyes suddenly turned red and moist.
They were outside, and Fu Jingyou couldn't get too close to her to coax her. He could only pat her shoulder gently and comfort her:
"Don't always feel that I'm wronged. I've considered all of this."
"Nowadays, as long as you can go to college, the policy will assign you a job. I'm used to doing similar jobs. If I can pass, it will also be good for me, huh?"
Moreover, this kind of technical worker is a high-paying job.
From any perspective, it meets Fu Jingyou's own expectations.
"Um……"
Lu Miao nodded, but still felt a little bitter.
Negative emotions outweigh touching feelings.
It's a good thing that Fu Jingyou takes care of his family.
But he was too family-oriented and put family first in everything, and she was worried about letting him down.
Lu Miao sniffed and rubbed the corner of his eyes and said:
"Let's pass the exam together and earn money to support our family together in the future!"
"Um."
After glancing around, Fu Jingyou suppressed the urge to rub her head, smiled reassuringly, and nodded gently.
After dinner, they continued to fill out their applications. Compared to the application form that Fu Jingyou had just copied, the content filled out by Lu Miao was much more "fancy".
Fu Jingyou had never heard of many of them, and even if he had heard of some of them, he found it difficult to understand.
For example, English major, Chinese major, etc.
English major, Lu Miao explained.
As for the Chinese major?
Fu Jingyou has his own logic of understanding.
He really didn't quite understand. Isn't the language of his country "Chinese"?
Why do I have to study this in college?
Lu Miao explained to him in detail that this thing has a broad meaning and does not only represent "language", but is more related to literature.
Fu Jingyou might not understand the official statement, so Lu Miao said directly:
"This type of major has many future career options, such as newspaper editors and liberal arts teachers."
Fu Jingyou nodded and said, "So this major is pretty good."
Knowledge changes destiny, this sentence is still true.
Now that the college entrance examination has been resumed and news of schools resuming classes has been coming in, teachers will also be a hot job in the future.
Moreover, being a people's teacher is both an honor and a good thing to say.
Fu Jingyou thought about it and nodded repeatedly.
My wife knows more and has a long-term vision.
They packed up and went back to the county office, just in time to meet the educated youth from the team.
The educated youth had their own ideas. After nodding to Lu Miao and the others, they took the volunteer forms and lined up to get a pen to fill them out.
Ma Tianzao is here too.
She also took the college entrance examination. During the exam, she wrote some questions and left some blank.
She didn't know what volunteering was, but Lu Miao had told her before that she should come and fill it out after the exam, so she came.

A Yao has something to say:
This chapter is still an additional update.
The volunteer form in the illustration is for your reference~
There is very little information about the first college entrance examination and universities in the 1970s and 1980s. A Yao summarized the information based on his feelings and tried to maintain logic as much as possible. Please read it for fun and do not compare it with official history or reality!
Love you guys, muah~
