Hua Zhian knew his own limitations; he was the least well-off in his family. This time, he was able to focus on the key points thanks to his younger sister and brother-in-law's help.
But next time, everyone will be in university, and they won't have time to keep an eye on you.
He's a very content person. As long as his score meets the cutoff, it doesn't seem to matter which school he gets into.
He would stay at the post office, partly to avoid certain people who always thought his family should still have textbooks and reference materials, which annoyed him to no end.
They have already submitted their documents to the subdistrict office. They don't live on this street, so how can the subdistrict office blame them for not receiving them?
Besides, all of them have been admitted to university, so what's the point of keeping those things?
No matter how he explained to these people, they always looked at him with suspicion and would probe him from time to time.
Hua Zhian is now quite open-minded about these superficial brotherhoods; if they can get along, great, if not, they part ways.
This was his idea, but others didn't take it seriously. Annoyed by the constant pestering, he simply hid in the post office.
This so-called peace was finally shattered when someone received their acceptance letter.
Wu Yanxin was among the first to receive it, and Hua Xiangyun and the others naturally came to congratulate her upon hearing the news.
Wu Yanxin was quite confident before, but she still didn't feel as at ease as when she received the admission notice.
Now her heart is at peace. "Xiangyun, I'm so happy. I'll be a college student too."
Hua Xiangyun and Xiao Shaoyao carefully picked up her admission notice. Unlike in later generations, it was entirely handwritten.
"If you go to Haishi, you won't be able to stay with us anymore." Xiao Shaoyao's tone was somewhat disappointed, as everyone would go their separate ways after the New Year.
"There's nothing I can do about it. You two both went to study medicine, but I'm really not interested in that stuff. I can't even remember what you told me which herbs were used for."
However, the two studied medicine in different parts of the country, one in the south and the other in the north, and they did not attend the same university.
When everyone went to the countryside together, Xiao Shaoyao, who was a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, knew a lot about many herbs.
If they have any minor ailments, Xiao Shaoyao will treat them with herbs she picked from the mountain.
What Xiao Shaoyao considered herbs, she saw as a bunch of weeds.
Her best friends had considered teaching them, but the only one they truly remembered was Hua Xiangyun, since they always admitted their mistakes anyway.
This is no joke; after a few mistakes, they lost the courage to keep trying.
Anyway, since Hua Xiangyun and Xiao Shaoyao are studying medicine among this group of friends, they won't meddle or hold them back.
"Besides, we're just going to school. We'll have holidays later and come back." Wu Yanxin was reluctant to leave and regretted not choosing a different place first.
She had never seen the sea in her life and had a great attachment to it, which led her to impulsively fill out the application for the sea city.
Hua Xiangyun: "What Yanxin said makes a lot of sense. Actually, it's a good idea. If we go there to play in the future, we'll have a ready-made guide."
Yan Xin is always running around, how could the two of us not entertain her?
These words indeed dispelled much of the previous reluctance, and everyone thought it was a great idea, giving them another place to go.
The girl's emotions came and went quickly; soon she was laughing and joking again.
The acceptance letters arrived one after another.
Hua Xiangyun and the others also received their orders one after another, and even Hua Zhian, who had always been uneasy, got his wish.
Hua Baoguo looked at the notices spread out on the table, pinched himself hard, and then stood there grinning like an idiot.
Xun Liangfen touched and looked around, tears welling up in her eyes.
She used to be just a peasant girl, and although she had attended school for a few years, she only graduated from primary school.
Now her children are all doing very well; they have all become college students.
It's not that no one in their unit takes the exam, but only a handful actually pass.
There were six of them in their family, and every single one of them passed the exam.
Before she returned, she was afraid the information was wrong, so she held back from bragging to everyone.
Now that this solid evidence is right in front of us, we'll only become the envy of others in the future.
“You are all very good,” Hua Baoguo said, stroking the admission notices. “Your mothers and I will take you to school together.”
He was already thinking about the train schedules to Beijing and how to book several sleeper tickets for his child in advance.
"No need for that, we're all so big..." Hua Zhian followed his wife to choose an agricultural school, and luckily he also got in this time, so the two of them could go together.
As for his brother and sister-in-law, as well as his sister and brother-in-law, they all traveled together. Since the couples were assigned to the same school, they didn't need any pick-up or drop-off service.
"Dad, do you have such a long leave?" Hua Xiangyun knew immediately that this was another last-minute decision.
They're resting now, but they have to go back to work before New Year's Eve. They've planned to leave home on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, but the timing just doesn't work out.
My father really changes his mind constantly, without a single plan in his mind.
Sure enough, Hua Baoguo was taken aback, "It seems there's no time..."
But he really wants to send the children to school, what should he do?
He had been to Beijing before, but that was for work. This is to send his child to university; they are completely different things.
"Alright, you can't even spend the New Year at home, and you still talk about sending the kids to school." Tian Guihua said irritably. She was getting more and more annoyed with Hua Baoguo. He was a grandfather, yet he was still so unreliable.
"You've all gone to school, what will happen to the child?" Xun Liangfen had thought about this question and had been worried about it, fearing that her son and daughter-in-law would ask her to come back and take care of the child.
If it were work, he could make excuses, saying he was busy with his own job and had no choice. But now that his child is going to university, which is about securing her future, he doesn't know how people would criticize her if she, as a parent, didn't support her.
"What else can we do? Of course, we'll leave her at home and let us old folks help take care of her," Tian Guihua said irritably. She knew perfectly well what Xun Liangfen was thinking.
“Mom and Dad, you can take care of the child,” Xun Liangfen breathed a sigh of relief. Her parents-in-law had raised three grandchildren before, so they were experienced and would definitely be able to take good care of the child.
"What are you thinking about? It's nothing. Your father and I are getting old now, where would we get so much energy?"
This matter still depends on you, the next generation. You're the child's grandmother, so you should come up with some guidelines.
Whether Tian Guihua is willing to just give up is another matter.
Xun Liangfen said, "I can't leave either. Besides, the cost of sending several children to school is huge..." She needs another person to earn a salary, otherwise how can she afford it?
Tian Guihua said, "It's not like you're giving money to your child to send them to school. Don't worry, look at what these instructions say. There's a monthly subsidy."
