Back to 1984: Let's Work Hard Together to Raise The Kids! Chapter 154: Club Recruitment

Bai Junjun teased, "If you’re that envious, you can also find a partner at school; didn’t Sister Qin just say that university is the perfect ti for learning and dating."

Lin Qin was startled and hurried to make a correction, "That’s true in a sense, but the president said, any relationship not intended for marriage is just fooling around. Unless you can find soone with similar interests who’ll be in the sa place in the future, breaking up after graduation would be so painful!"

"That’s true." Everyone nodded repeatedly, agreeing with Lin Qin’s point.

Seeing that they listened, Lin Qin didn’t say more.

She went to the counselor to get her day school application, picked up a class schedule, and left.

Just as she left, a few senior sisters ca to dorm room 301.

"Check out the club activities, newbies. You can et many senior students and new classmates..."

A bunch of young girls were attracted to the clubs and started chattering excitedly.

One of the senior sisters counted and frowned, "Why is there one less person in your dorm?"

By then, it was dark, and usually, everyone would be in the dorm unless sothing special ca up.

Ge Qiuyue quickly explained, "That classmate is local, already married with a child, and has applied for day school, which the counselor approved."

Hearing this, the senior sister instantly lost interest in Lin Qin, "I see! Then we’ll get going."

After distributing club flyers, they gathered under the girls’ dormitory.

Wang Xinyuan asked, "Are the flyers all distributed to the new Chinese language students? We’re from the Ancient Poetry Club, and I’m sure they’ll be interested in joining."

Li Xiaoi nodded, blushing and not daring to look Wang Xinyuan in the eye, "Wang, did the boys’ dorms get the flyers too?"

Wang Xinyuan smiled wryly, "This year’s male students in the Chinese language major are only a third of the female students. I’ve advertised as much as possible, but they don’t seem too interested in ancient poetry. Quite a few are looking at sports clubs instead."

Zhuang Fangfang, next to Li Xiaoi, was extrely disappointed, "President, you need to step it up again. The club needs gender balance; it’s not suitable if all the heavy work is done by the girls."

"Alright, I’ll try my best, and you do the sa. Let’s aim to attract those new students with great looks and temperant to our club, so we can perform well at the National Day and school celebrations, which can boost our scores."

After saying this, Wang Xinyuan parted ways with Li Xiaoi and the others.

Zhuang Fangfang turned back to see Li Xiaoi looking a bit upset, puzzled, "What’s wrong?"

Li Xiaoi bit her lower lip and shook her head, hesitated for a long ti, and finally asked the question on her mind, "Why do you think the president is recruiting so many good-looking freshn?"

"It’s obviously for the credits! What else?" Zhuang Fangfang answered without thinking.

Li Xiaoi felt heavy-hearted, "What if our club gets full of beautiful girls, will the president forget about us?"

Zhuang Fangfang was a tad confused, "No... no, why worry about this? Don’t tell you like the president?"

Under Zhuang Fangfang’s incredulous gaze, Li Xiaoi blushed and did not deny it.

Back in their first year, Li Xiaoi joined the club and had a crush on Wang Xinyuan; unfortunately, everyone was new and Wang was single-minded about work, so she didn’t express her feelings. Now that Wang Xinyuan is president, she worries she’ll miss her chance if she doesn’t express herself.

Zhuang Fangfang ca to her senses, slapping Li Xiaoi’s shoulder, "Girl! If you like him, just confess. Maybe he likes you too. I’ve noticed he takes extra care of you; you must be special to him."

Li Xiaoi thought the sa, and with Zhuang Fangfang’s encouragent, she made up her mind.

The school year starts with military training as a tradition.

Military training is a good ti to discuss which clubs to join.

Lin Qin cycled to school early in the morning. Before anyone else had breakfast, she had already ward up and brought a big waterlon to the dormitory.

Everyone greeted her excitedly.

Lin Qin smiled, "Look at how excited you all are, are you that eager for military training?"

Bai Junjun imdiately shook her head in denial, "It’s not the military training we’re eager for; it’s the club activities. Sister Qin, last night the senior from the Ancient Poetry Club ca to our dorm to advertise. I went out to inquire, and the president of the Ancient Poetry Club is Wang Xinyuan, the senior who welcod freshn on registration day.

He seems like a gentle and decent guy, and we all want to join. Do you want to sign up with us?"

Lin Qin took the flyer, carefully looked it over, and pondered, "There should be plenty of clubs at school, why not check more of them out? What if there’s sothing more fun? Besides, with so many applying, they probably conduct interviews to select candidates. Are you sure you can all get in?"

It was as if a cold shower was poured over them, leaving everyone speechless.

Du Juanhua was anxious, "Sister Qin, I really want to join the Ancient Poetry Club. Do... do I need to do anything?"

Lin Qin smiled wryly, "I don’t stay on campus, and I get my news from you guys. How would I know what to do? But self-improvent and seeking advice from a current mber of the Ancient Poetry Club would surely help."

Du Juanhua seed a bit disappointed, while the others weren’t as passionate.

Bai Junjun said, "I’ll keep looking around. If I don’t join the Ancient Poetry Club, I’ll just play around in another club. What about you, Zhou Xue?"

Zhou Xue was fully prepared for today’s military training, her expression serious, and she stood with a straight back smiling, "I’m going to the Taekwondo Club."

Everyone stared wide-eyed in surprise before showing understanding.

Lin Qin asked Ge Qiuyue, "What about you, Sister Ge?"

Ge Qiuyue shook her head without hesitation, "I’m not going to join in the fun, maybe I’ll find a quieter club if necessary."

If not for the fact that club participation grants credits, she wouldn’t want to waste ti on it at all.

Lin Qin completely understood her mindset, as their situations were essentially the sa.

In their conversation, everyone finished tidying up. Lin Qin left the waterlon in a bucket of water placed in a shady spot, waiting for their return from military training to quench their thirst.

The girls, full of anticipation, chatted away as they headed to the field. Half an hour later, their smiles faded; an hour later, they looked grim, and by midday, they were all wilted like frost-covered eggplants, not even interested in eating.

At this point, Ge Qiuyue played the big sister role, dragged everyone to the cafeteria, and forced them to eat lunch.

Bai Junjun was near tears as she glanced at the perky Zhou Xue beside her, then slumped onto the table, "Xiao Xue, are you even human? I’m dead tired, but you’re totally fine?"

Lin Qin laughed, "She’s a military spouse; she’s had so training. Not everyone is like you!"

Among the six in their dorm, Bai Junjun seed to co from the best background, clearly a pampered young lady. Zhou Xue’s situation also seed superior, being a child of high-ranking military officials with high expectations from her family, especially competitive.
