Chapter 1519: Confirmation
Jin Erlin came in and brought them some apples. "Have some first. There will be more to take home later."
They were not shy and Jin Erlin learned about their approximate scores, and his grin stretched ear to ear.
"Great, great, truly wonderful. We finally have university students, and even ones who are going to the Capital to study."
Their own children really didn’t live up to expectations, but there was nothing to be done. They couldn’t compete with others. While others were studying, their own kids were running wild.
Hong Jun looked at the time and called Jiang Xinyu.
"Hong Jun, all four of your scores are good enough for universities in the Capital, but the first-choice university might not be possible. What’s your plan?"
"Teacher Jiang, I want to go to Economic University. My third brother wants to go to Medical University, Hong Ling and Cheng Lin both want to go to Transportation University."
"Alright, all four universities are fine, go ahead and apply. But it’s not certain. If they don’t accept you, that’s still possible. However, your Uncle Han has already inquired, and the score threshold is about 400 points."
"Got it. I must go to the Capital, if I don’t get accepted this year, I’ll try again next year."
The other three said the same thing.
Wang Menglin listened from the side, feeling helpless. These four don’t know what they’re thinking. The universities they chose aren’t necessarily better than the ones outside the city.
Having made their decision, the five of them went home. Hong Jun wanted to give 20 yuan for the phone fee but got scolded and reluctantly accepted the money.
When Li Yungui heard the news, he laughed heartily, "Great, great, our Li family’s ancestors must be smiling down on us. We must throw a big feast and invite all our relatives and friends to celebrate."
Wang Menglin hurried to calm him, "Dad, let’s wait until we’ve submitted our applications next week and received the acceptance letters. It would be embarrassing if they didn’t pass."
Li Yungui nodded, "I know, I know. I’m just happy."
"Dad, please don’t say anything outside, it’ll be embarrassing if it doesn’t happen," Cheng Lin quickly added, fearing his father would be too happy and forget.
Changhe talked about their decisions and what Teacher Jiang said, "Dad, I’m thinking of going to the Capital to study medicine. If I don’t get in this year, I’ll keep trying next year."
Li Yungui looked at the four young men, all with the same expression, and nodded, "You decide for yourselves. Just make sure you don’t regret the decisions you make now in the future."
All four of them nodded firmly. Everyone has their own determination. It’s all about this one ideal; they must go to the Capital.
The sons are all grown now, and in the village, kids Changhe’s age are already having children. It was a matter of convincing the wife so they could do this.
Heaven does not let down those who work hard; finally, the time came.
In fact, it’s not that Li Yungui had great foresight. It’s just that he kept an eye on Xiao Wei’s family, so he made these moves.
This time he was persuaded. As people strive for higher achievements and water flows to lower places, he absolutely will not hold back the kids from advancing further.
After eating, Li Yungui went to the liquor factory. The in-laws are still waiting anxiously for the scores of the four in the Capital.
In the Capital, the group was sitting together.
"Uncle Han, I’m definitely for Capital University."
"Hmm, my daughter will definitely have no problem getting in, Uncle Han believes in you.
Shi Jing, what about you?"
"Wherever Feifei goes, I’ll go."
"Brother, you should choose the school you like, Capital University is close to home, I’ll apply to be a day student, don’t worry."
Shi Jing shook his head, "I just like Capital University; the first-choice school. My scores are lower than yours but not by much, it’ll be fine."
Jianbin also nodded on the side, their scores shouldn’t be too far apart.
"Same here, wherever you two go, I’ll go."
Jiang Feifei didn’t mind, having two brothers around saved a lot of trouble.
"Chaoyang, what about you?"
"I want Economic University like Hong Jun." He initially thought about attending the same university as his wife, but his scores lag far behind hers, and he might not be accepted into her university. Since they’re both day students, he could still pick her up every day.
Jing Chu understood Chaoyang’s intention.
"I’ll go to Economic University with Chaoyang." There are many specialties in university, and there must be one suitable for her.
Chaoyang was touched. Jing Chu was accommodating him.
"That’s great, with both of you together, we’re at ease." Jiang Xinyu nodded approvingly. Couples don’t always have to accommodate each other; mutual compromise is the best.
Jing Chu nodded. She had no strong opinion about where to go for college, having already moved from the village to the Capital. Initially, her intent was to escape there by attending college, so making Chaoyang feel assured was also good.
"Guodong, what about you two?"
Li Xue smirked, "Aunt Jiang, I want to go to Normal University, I like teaching."
Guodong also nodded, "I’ll go to Normal University too."
Wherever his wife goes, he’ll go, so the whole family can stay together.
Jiang Xinyu nodded, their scores should be fine.
Zhao Xiaoli smiled widely, "I’m going to Normal University too; the three of us can accompany each other."
Zhao Xiaoli fit well with Normal University. She had a gentle temperament.
Old Yang had no opinion. His wife could do as she pleased, simply fulfilling her dream.
Han Xiangjun listened to their decisions without commenting.
After going around today, he roughly knew the cutoff scores for several prestigious Capital universities. According to their own estimated scores, they all should be okay.
"Feifei, what about Yu Jie?"
"She wants to go to Normal University. Brother Zhenyu will go to Transportation University. Aunt Yang will go to Political and Legal University."
No one was surprised. Tao Yanzhen was an ambitious woman; going to Political and Legal University was quite normal for her.
Once they decided, they could just report these choices when they applied in a couple of days.
Wei Kaiyun was proud, his two precious kids being able to go to the top universities was such a face-saving event, wasn’t it?
Shang Zhenkun was also beaming, recalling the moments from when Feifei was born till her going off to college, he had accompanied her for fourteen years, remembering each and every detail.
The proudest thing in this life was growing alongside them.
Han Xiangjun saw the younger ones listening and suddenly felt the urge to educate them, "Shi Xian, Ah Bao, do you envy your older siblings?"
Shi Xian smiled, nodding, "Rest assured, I definitely can."
"Oh? So confident then?"
"Yes, I definitely won’t lag behind. One day I’ll attend the same school as my brothers and sisters."
Looking at his determined expression, everyone believed he was speaking the truth and believed he could definitely achieve it.
