Lu Xia and Sun Shengnan were listening to everyone's discussion at the back, and then they heard Sun Shengnan quietly ask Lu Xia, "Which university do you plan to apply to?"
Lu Xia said directly: "It must be from Beijing. Because I don't know my level, I have to report both the good and the bad."
Sun Shengnan nodded, with some envy in her eyes, "You and Jiang Zhiqing are smart, you will definitely pass the exam, and then you can go back to the city."
Lu Xia smiled and said, "What about you? What are your plans with Liu Zhiqing?"
"We plan to apply to a university in Liu Jun's hometown. I don't want to go back to my hometown. Although Liu Jun's hometown is a third-tier city, there are several universities there. I guess the admission score is not that high."
Lu Xia nodded, "That's great, I hope everyone can pass the exam."
"I hope so." Sun Shengnan sighed, not having much confidence.
After discussion here, and with everyone sharing some information about the schools they knew, everyone has made plans.
Most of them apply to universities in their hometowns. No one dares to be ambitious and apply to a particularly famous one, for fear of failing to get in and wasting the opportunity.
Lu Xia and Jiang Junmo did not hesitate and directly applied to Peking University.
...
...
Su Man applied to Huazhong University of Science and Technology, and Gu Xiangnan applied to Beijing University of Political Science and Law.
When other people found out, they looked at them as if they were gods. No one expected them to be so brave!
You applied directly to some of the most famous universities in the country. Does this mean you have such great confidence in yourself?
Could it be that I quoted too low a price?
The others were a little hesitant, but among them, Zhao Hua also applied to Peking University as his first choice, and he was very confident in himself. After knowing that Lu Xia and the others had also applied, he smiled and said that they would be alumni in the future.
Lu Xia and the other person smiled but said nothing.
After applying for the exam, the study atmosphere for the educated youth became even more intense. They got up early and went to bed late, almost to the point of neglecting food and sleep.
When Lu Xia saw Shen Qingqing again, he was almost scared by her appearance.
Although Shen Qingqing looked thin before, as she grew older, she grew taller, earned more work points, ate better, and her face gradually gained some flesh.
But now, I didn't expect that in such a short time, I have become so thin that I am just skin and bones.
Lu Xia looked at him with deep concern, "How come you are so thin? Even if you want to study, you have to combine work and rest. You can't stay up like this!"
Shen Qingqing smiled and said, "I am different from the others. Everyone else had graduated from high school before going to the countryside, or went to the countryside after entering high school. When I went to the countryside, I was just in the first grade of junior high school, and I didn't learn much knowledge. My foundation was too poor, so I had to start from scratch."
Lu Xia understood her thoughts and didn't know how to persuade her, so he just said: "No matter what, you have to take care of your health. If it doesn't work this time, there will be next time."
Shen Qingqing nodded, "I know, Sister Lu Xia, I just want to try my best, I don't want to stay here forever."
Lu Xia sighed when he heard this, "Okay, let's try it, it will work."
"Um"
Afterwards, the two talked about the recent events in the village regarding the college entrance examination.
Several educated youth who had been married for several years also wanted to take the college entrance examination, but were rejected by their families, especially the female educated youth, who had already given birth to several children and had families to support. How could their families let them go without worrying about their departure?
Some of these people have accepted their fate, while others are quarreling with their families. Anyway, there are quite a lot of similar things happening in the village recently.
It's better for male educated youth. The villagers are not afraid that they will abandon their wives and children if they get into university, but they think that if they can have a husband who is a college student, they will be envious to death.
This is the difference between men and women that the villagers think of. Men can be capable, but women can only stay at home to take care of their husbands and children.
There is no way, because in this remote countryside, most people still retain this feudal thinking, which is also sad.
