Chapter 621: Chapter 597: Suspension with Pay Retention?
He Xuerong’s eyes widened in surprise, and she couldn’t help but cover her mouth with her hand. At this mont, she even wondered if little aunt had shared her thoughts with Li Mingguang, then dismissed the notion. Little aunt wasn’t that kind of person; she wouldn’t talk about it.
So it must be his true feelings.
She couldn’t help but asked, “Why do you want to go to the Agricultural University?”
Li Mingguang scratched his head, “There’s no particular reason. I’ve been exposed a lot to this field over the years. Our country’s economic developnt is important, but in the end, you’ll find, agriculture remains the most important. It’s the nation’s foundation as well as the foundation of people’s livelihood. It’s definitely going to be like this in the future. I think learning about it couldn’t hurt, and I could even work with my mom or Aunt Qiao in the future…”
He Xuerong’s eyes sparkled, proud of her playmate for thinking so similarly.
However, Li Mingguang had ntioned that there were two universities he was especially interested in, one of which was Imperial Agricultural University.
“And the other one?” He Xuerong asked curiously.
Li Mingguang replied, “The other one is Imperial Capital dical University.”
Go figure, these two schools were indeed different from what everyone expected them to attend.
Li Mingguang’s aspirations seed a bit scattered; one in agriculture, the other in dicine.
“Xiao Hu, have you discussed this with Aunt Li and the others?”
“Not yet. My mom probably won’t manage , but my dad might have so opinions. He would prefer to go to B University.” He paused, then continued, “He also said B University was his dream school back in the day. He hopes I can fulfill that dream for him.”
This was normal. Many parents placed their hopes on their children, wishing their children could achieve what they themselves did not.
The two of them squatting in the corner analyzed the situation and found their families did tend to prefer those two universities.
Now that she knew Li Mingguang’s true intentions, He Xuerong stopped worrying and laughed carefree like in the old days, pushing Li Mingguang as she brought up sumr plans, “After submitting our university choices, I’m going to Yun City, and I’m bringing Chaoxuan along this ti. Are you going?”
Li Mingguang’s eyes lit up; he nodded eagerly, “Of course, I’m going! Just follow my lead. I can help carry bags, take pictures for you…”
While that was said, Li Mingguang didn’t make it to Yun City because Zhou Xiaoqin, on her way to the farm, fell into a ditch while riding her bicycle and broke her leg.
Now she was recuperating at ho. Fortunately, spring plowing was already over, and although there was a sumr harvest, Qiao Qingyu was overseeing it, which allowed her to rest at ho.
Sending He Xuerong and Chaoxuan to the station was Secretary Chang.
With Secretary Chang there, Qiao Qingyu was truly relieved.
Secretary Chang was enjoying his success; he actually did win Xiao Wei over within three years, and the couple had already registered their marriage. They hadn’t had a wedding feast, but Zhou Zijiao had a good impression of Secretary Chang and didn’t object to her mother finding her happiness. As for Zhou Pengcheng, he didn’t care much as he had beco a special forces soldier in the military and seldom ca ho.
But he often wrote letters to Li Mingguang and He Xuerong.
When Zhou Hai found out Xiao Wei got married, and the groom was the young, handso, and wealthy Secretary Chang, he drank heavily and locked himself in his room with a bottle, crying bitterly.
After the tears dried, life had to go on.
As for Zhou Ruoruo, her scores were nearly the sa as Li Mingguang’s, and she had no objections; she applied to both universities.
The system of university choice back then differed from the later parallel application system: submit the choices first, then receive the scores.
Zhao Yuan still hadn’t been able to return to the family quarters to study. He had entered a certain university of science and technology, the alma mater of He Xiuyu, and planned to work at Tenghai Research after graduation.
So Zhao Zhiqiang honestly stayed at the Tenghai Base.
It appeared he had no other intentions.
Yet, following this round of examinations, nearly two dozen kids from the base’s family quarters went their separate ways.
Almost all the children living in the eastern district were going away to study.
Qiao Qingyu was very sentintal about this, looking at herself in the mirror again and again; her reflection revealed a fair complexion, still delicate and beautiful.
He Xiuyu too leaned in; the mirror wasn’t big enough for the two of them. Qiao Qingyu pushed his face aside with a sigh, “I still rember when we first ca to the base, Rongrong was just a little girl. Now in the blink of an eye, she’s grown up and about to be a university student. I feel like I’ve aged myself.”
