Zhongwen and Panyun came out from the inner room immediately after hearing the sound.
Panyun was still holding the handkerchief she used to wipe Xiaoyuer's mouth, while Zhongwen put down the cup of tea he had just brewed.
"What's wrong? What Jingcheng University?" Pan Yun asked doubtfully, his eyes falling on Shen Mo's shocked face, and then following her line of sight to the application form in front of Lu Qingyang.
Pan Yun gasped and the handkerchief in her hand almost fell to the ground.
"Qingyang, you...you applied for Jingcheng University? Although Mom also hopes that you will take the exam, let's choose the one with a better chance of success, right?"
뀘 Zhongwen also frowned, strode to the table, picked up Lu Qingyang's application form, and carefully looked at the major he filled in, physics.
"Are you sure you've thought it through? This isn't a joke. Once you fill out your application, it won't change.
Admissions only look at your first choice. If you don't get into Peking University, it will be extremely difficult for the other choices to match your scores! If you don't do it right, you won't even get into a decent school!
Panyun slapped her thigh anxiously:
"Yeah, Qingyang, you... you're such a daring kid! Although we're from the capital, this Capital University is the best in the country. So many brilliant people can't get in, and you... you might be smart, but you've been away from school for so long... the risk is too great!"
She looked at her son, her eyes full of anxiety. "Listen to my advice, let's change to a safer one. There are so many good universities in Beijing, such as Vocational University and Textile College. They are related to what you are doing now and have a good chance of success. We don't need to take the risk!"
Her heart ached when she thought about her son failing the entrance exam because he had applied too high a score, or even being assigned to an unknown school or a remote area.
"Dad knows you have ideas and energy. The Feihong Factory is doing well, proving you have the ability to get things done. Dad doesn't object to you pursuing further studies, but further studies also require strategy."
Choosing a school with a high degree of confidence, such as Kyungseo University or the School of Economics, will greatly enhance your current career and open up a wider range of opportunities in the future."
Shen Mo watched from the side, her heart in her throat.
Every word of my parents-in-law's concerns made sense, and they all hit the most fatal pain point of filling out college entrance examination applications.
Although she was shocked by Lu Qingyang's ambition, she couldn't help but worry about him at this moment.
Faced with his parents' endless worries and doubts, Lu Qingyang remained calm.
He waited for his parents to finish speaking, then slowly began:
"Dad, Mom, I understand your concerns. I've known for a long time that this is a big risk. It's precisely because it's difficult that it's worth the effort. I've estimated my score and I'm not blindly confident."
He paused and looked at his father: "Dad, you said physics is far from life? On the contrary, future development depends on new materials, new technologies, and automatic production, all of which are inseparable from the support of physics.
By mastering the fundamentals, you can see more clearly, go further, and not be limited by the technology in front of you."
"Mom, I know you're worried about me failing the exam, but when has your son ever fought a battle without confidence? Feihong Factory was in such a difficult situation back then, but didn't it manage to turn itself around? The same thing happened with the college entrance exam."
He looked at his parents' still worried faces and added, "I know this is a risky choice. But some opportunities in life are worth taking a risk. Jingcheng University represents a higher platform, a broader perspective, and a deeper foundation. Please trust my judgment this time."
That calm confidence gradually calmed down the fierce opposition of Zhongwen and Panyun.
"Good boy... you're much braver than your father ever was! Okay, since you've thought it through so clearly and are determined, Dad... supports you! Whether it's a mule or a horse, take it for a walk! Let's try to find a top student in our hometown!"
Seeing that her husband had expressed his opinion, Pan Yun was still hesitant, but she also knew that her son had made up his mind and it was useless to persuade him.
She wiped the moisture that had seeped into the corners of her eyes and said angrily, "Okay, okay, you've already filled it up, so why should I wipe it off for you? I'm just looking forward to it being done. When that happens, I'll give you the biggest red."
After submitting the volunteer form, my neck seemed to be stretched even longer.
The agony of waiting for the admission letter is like the chirping of cicadas in summer, noisy and lingering.
That afternoon, the sun was shining brightly, and he was playing with the energetic little Stone, who had just woken up, in the living room.
"Smelly boy, it's time to change your 'equipment'!" Lu Qingyang smiled, and skillfully placed Xiao Shitou on the crib covered with soft cloth and untied his diaper.
As soon as it was opened, the little guy's chubby legs started kicking happily, and he was babbling and "giving orders".
"Oh, it's quite strong!" Lu Qingyang had just picked up a clean diaper to change the baby when something unexpected happened.
Without any warning, a small fountain of water shot out from his son's little bird, splashing right on Lu Qingyang's face as he leaned forward.
"Puff!" Lu Qingyang was caught off guard and was drenched. He froze in place, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"Oh my!" Aunt Liu, who was packing up nearby, was stunned when she saw this scene. Then she slapped her thigh and laughed, "Oh my little ancestor."
Shen Mo, who had just walked in, also saw it and couldn't help laughing. She quickly took the fur and came over to wipe Lu Qingyang:
"Wipe it off quickly! Shitou, why are you so naughty? You peed on daddy's face!"
Lu Qingyang wiped his face, but he wasn't angry: "Okay, you kid, that's cruel! Are you protesting that dad didn't play with you enough yesterday?"
Aunt Liu cleaned up Little Stone neatly and changed his diaper while saying cheerfully:
"Hey, Qingyang, don't be upset. This is boy's urine. As the old saying goes, boy's urine is the cleanest. Getting wet on it is a good thing, very auspicious. Who knows, maybe your wedding is coming soon."
Just as he finished speaking, the postman's loud voice came from outside the yard: "A letter from the Zhongwen family, with an admission letter! Hurry and get the seal!"
Lu Qingyang didn't even bother to wipe the water droplets on his face, and looked at Shen Mo.
Aunt Liu was so excited that her hands were shaking and she almost took off the diaper that had just been put on Little Stone.
"Quick! Get the seal!" Chen Mo was the first to react. She turned around and ran to the inner room to get the seal for Zhongwen's registered credit.
I saw a postman in a green uniform leaning on a bicycle, holding two thick letters in brown paper envelopes.
"Comrade! It's Zhongwen's family! The seal is here!" Shen Mo ran over breathlessly and handed the seal to the postman.
The postman checked the address and name, neatly stamped the receipt, and smiled as he handed over two heavy envelopes. "Congratulations! Two acceptance letters at once, and to such excellent universities! Double happiness!"
"Thank you! Thank you, comrade!" Lu Qingyang thanked repeatedly.
The postman smiled and waved his hand, then rode away on his bicycle.
Aunt Liu followed with Little Stone in her arms, her eyes red with excitement:
"Oh! What did I say? Boy's urine is auspicious! Very auspicious! Stone, you are our little lucky star!"
Little Shitou seemed to have sensed this unusual atmosphere of joy, waving his little hands in Aunt Liu's arms and giggling.
"Hurry...open it and take a look!"
The two of them opened the envelope in a panic.
