Chapter 1518: Decision 1518
Li Yunqiao put down the phone. After calming his emotions, he went to the meeting.
Now his mind is not on the meeting at all, thankfully this meeting is unimportant.
He also wanted to focus, but simply couldn’t manage it, this feeling hadn’t occurred for decades.
After the meeting ended, it was almost time to get off work. After giving some instructions, he hurriedly returned home.
Lu Fengzhen is now also working on the street. Sister-in-law Wu is taking care of the little girl at home.
When Li Yunqiao returned, he saw his niece in the kitchen cooking. Lu Fengzhen hadn’t come back yet.
"Dad." Red Army saw Dad’s expression and knew he was looking for his stepmother "Dad, Aunt Lu went to the supply and marketing cooperative. She wants to celebrate our good test results."
When Hong Lin and his wife returned, they weren’t surprised to see the brothers; now everyone is discussing the college entrance examination.
"How did it go?" Hong Lin asked with a smile. Zheng Lihong was also smiling at them.
"For the four of us, getting 420-430 points is no problem."
"Wow, are my brothers that amazing? I’ve heard the children of our leaders only scored over 200, but my brothers can score over 400?"
Hong Ling laughed, "Of course, if we scored only over 200, we would have wasted these years of study."
Cheng Lin nodded as well, "Yes, without Teacher Jiang, we’d be nothing now."
Everyone nodded. Yes, without Teacher Jiang, they would be nothing for so many years, they might not even be able to score over 200.
Li Yunqiao looked at the four young men, they were already over 20 years old in the blink of an eye, thinking of Hong Ling leaving, Li Yunqiao fell into deep thought.
Lu Fengzhen came back. She only brought back some eggs, feeling quite embarrassed. She originally wanted to get some good food for them but ended up delaying so long without getting anything.
The men were talking in the living room, in the kitchen, Zheng Lihong asked her sister-in-law "Big sister-in-law, you’re really amazing. How long have you been studying?"
"I graduated from high school before. I studied before, just reviewed during this period."
"Has big brother heard the news?"
"I sent him a letter saying I’m taking the college entrance exam. He should have received it. I thought I’d wait for the results before writing him another letter."
"Big sister-in-law, why don’t you go to big brother’s university? That way, your family could be together."
"That would be too far from my in-laws." Wang Menglin had considered it but ultimately dismissed it. However, she was very tempted by the school the teachers mentioned.
She grew up in the military. She loves it, if she goes to that university, she might be able to return to the military afterward.
But she can’t bear to leave her in-laws, even if her husband wants the Niang San to go over, she hasn’t agreed, simply not wanting to leave the elderly. It’s really quite difficult now.
"Big sister-in-law, I think second uncle and second aunt won’t leave here. Plus, you’re going to school, and my big brother still has to occasionally go on missions. So you can’t take care of the two nephews,
then they can only stay in the hometown. Actually, it’s quite good this way. When the brothers leave, there are two kids to accompany the old couple."
Wang Menglin is also conflicted now. What should she do? Even attending a nearby regular university, her in-laws wouldn’t go. After all, everything in Li Family Village was painstakingly built by her father-in-law. Making him leave is definitely impossible.
"Big sister-in-law, you don’t have to worry about second uncle and second aunt, their health is still good, and second uncle is quite successful. The kids are capable, they surely want their own careers."
This moved Wang Menglin. It’s true, she shouldn’t be selfish, let her in-laws follow her to an unfamiliar place.
"Yes, I understand. I’ll go back and talk to the two elders."
"Big sister-in-law, you’re really a hard-to-find daughter-in-law, always thinking about your in-laws."
"My in-laws have been so good to me."
Human kindness begets human kindness. From the first time her mother-in-law met her and gave her a straw hat, she liked her mother-in-law from the bottom of her heart.
Although lunch was not sumptuous, it was quite good. Fried rice, scrambled eggs, cabbage tofu, and potatoes, stir-fried carrots with dried chili.
Li Yunqiao already knew their four intentions to go to the Capital to attend university. He didn’t understand that place.
"Dad, Teacher Jiang said Uncle Han has already gone to inquire. We’ll call Teacher Jiang when we go back. Listen to her advice."
Li Yunqiao nodded, "Indeed, we should listen to her advice, I don’t know about these things."
"Your sister’s score?"
"Teacher Jiang said it’s about the same as ours."
"Your sister’s account is in the Capital, definitely an advantage over you."
The four didn’t care, as long as they could attend university. Red Army’s idea was to stay with Master Wei.
The other three Changhe heard Doctor Liu said the Capital’s Medical University is the best. The other two little ones wanted to find Jianbin’s group, of course, they’re also envious of the brothers going to the Capital.
It was time to go to work, the five left. When they reached the county, Wang Menglin first called home.
Tao Chunhe answered the phone. "Cousin, have you and cousin-in-law estimated your scores?"
"Yes, we’ve estimated. I’m around 400, your cousin-in-law is better, over 400. Menglin, what about you? Just now Xiao Zhen called, her score is also a bit over 400."
"I’m also about 400 or so."
"Where do you want to go?"
"I want to attend the military academy here; if they’re recruiting here, I’ll stay here. If not, I’ll go to a nearby university."
Tao Chunhe knew his cousin was very reliant on Li Yungui’s couple, her decision wasn’t surprising.
"Xiao Zhen wants to come back to attend university, but Grandpa didn’t agree, wants your cousin-in-law and us to go to the Capital instead."
"That’s great. I’ll not go. It’s far from anywhere."
"Yes, I’ll ask Grandpa if the school there is recruiting this year? Wait for the call."
Mr. Tao asked, that place is also recruiting this year, after hearing Wang Menglin’s information, they felt she could be admitted.
Wang Menglin was relieved, she’d go back and discuss with her in-laws.
Wang Menglin was very curious, where don’t boys have this kind of sentiment? "Don’t the four of you want to go to military school? Even Changhe can apply for military medicine."
Red Army laughed, "Big sister-in-law, I don’t have that thought, just like the feeling of making money."
Changhe chuckled, "Big sister-in-law, I want to be close to Master Liu, plus second brother, big sister is also there."
Wang Menglin looked at the two little ones, Cheng Lin shrugged, "Big sister-in-law, with our personalities, we really can’t stand constraints, besides our big brother is already in the military, that’s enough. I think in the future you’ll also go, right?"
Wang Menglin nodded, "Yes, I have a passion for that place. I love it there. Admiring all the heroes."
