Chapter 547: Chapter 548 Sister Flowers Educated Youth 65_1

In their hearts, they didn’t have many study guides, and Gao Jian, who was usually exhausted from overwork, how much could he review?

"That day, the clothes he wore were very thin, and his face was flushed red," a female educated youth recalled the last exam’s end, when she left the examination hall and happened to run into Gao Jian.

At first, she didn’t pay too much attention; he was just a nobody. Now that she thought about it, "His condition was really not right at the time, he must have been sick."

"He definitely was sick. We were wearing thick cotton-padded jackets, but his was very thin."

Before he became ill, there would have been a heated kang in the room, and then he would go out to do work, so he wouldn’t be cold.

But the situation was different during the exams. Sitting for half a day without moving, the heat dissipated quickly. Although a stove was lit in the examination room, it couldn’t provide much warmth.

Such significant news, of course, had to be shared with the male educated youths, so everyone could unite.

Shen Jie just knew that Shen Yuan was taking the college entrance exams, and as for how she did, Shen Jie didn’t care at all.

Even if she did get into university, the future likelihood of running into each other was low.

Most importantly, if she had scored well, she surely would’ve come to show off, to thoroughly flaunt her results.

By now, no one had come, so her scores must have been bad.

Knowing someone else’s scores were poor made Shen Jie feel relieved. After all, if Shen Yuan didn’t get into university, she could only go back to the city with everyone else.

Once back in the city, even if the authorities arranged jobs for returning educated youths, those jobs were quite ordinary.

Normally, a high school graduate could be assigned to an office job, but since the college entrance exams were reinstated, each year, a large number of graduates emerged. Wouldn’t such positions be reserved for university graduates?

Shen Jie now knew from her past life that Gao Jian and Shen Yuan would go into business, probably Gao Jian’s idea since he had the guts for it.

As for the initial connections and financial support, it came from Shen Yuan’s end, or rather, it was achieved by stepping on the protagonist’s toes.

This time, without these as a foundation, and with their relationship soured and no university degrees, could they still change their destinies like in their past lives?

Feng Dan turned over, just about to ask something, but then saw Shen Jie’s happy smile, "Feeling good?"

"Yes, just thinking about Shen Yuan not coming out to show off makes me happy," Shen Jie replied.

"So happy I could fly." Knowing this would undoubtedly make Shen Yuan understand.

Yes, Feng Dan had a sudden realization and sat up, "I felt like I forgot something."

"It’s right here. If she did well, she would’ve definitely come here to boast."

"She didn’t come, which means her results were poor," Feng Dan laughed heartily.

"Exactly, it should be like this. Otherwise, she’d really think she’s so impressive," Feng Dan recalled something, "If we get the admission notice, will you go back?"

"It depends on the timing; if it’s possible, I’ll go home for the New Year." Although she had been in the Northeast for just over a year, Shen Jie knew the protagonist would definitely be happy to see her return for the New Year celebrations.

Going back home for New Year, Feng Dan didn’t have much fondness for the idea, "I guess I’ll go back once."

Even if she knew that her family wouldn’t be very excited even if she got into university, "They probably still wonder why it was me who got into university and not the other boys in the family."

Feng Dan had long become accustomed to her family’s way of thinking, and had adjusted from the initial disappointment and dejection; she wouldn’t let these things spoil her mood.

"Then you should work even harder, to let them know that even as a girl, you won’t be any less capable than them."

The Feng family’s attitude toward Feng Dan is the same as most people’s attitudes towards girls back then — not particularly good but not bad either.

Only when they compare themselves to Shen Jianshe’s family, do they feel the difference in treatment.

"Right, the more they underestimate girls, thinking they can’t compare to boys, the harder I need to work."

"I’m going to show them that I am the most promising person in the family," Feng Dan vowed.

Looking at the enthusiastic Feng Dan, Shen Jie wanted to say that this could be very exhausting.

As the most capable child in the family, and being a girl at that, shouldn’t she help out her parents’ home?

Seeing the excited Feng Dan, as a child who was often neglected by the family, she still hoped to get more attention from her parents and elders.

As for them wanting Feng Dan to help out her parents’ home, Feng Dan’s character wouldn’t comply with their wishes.

"I hope the admission notice comes soon."

"So I can go home for the New Year," Feng Dan looked at Shen Jie again, "If we go back then, can it be considered a glorious return?"

Is this considered a glorious return? Shen Jie had never thought about this, and it was just getting into a university, hardly something noteworthy, right?

"It is." Fine, what mattered was not what she thought but what Feng Dan and the Feng family thought.

"You are someone who got into university, from so many applicants. It’s truly like crossing a single-log bridge from among thousands of troops."

"The acceptance ratio is so low." Even though the specific numbers of admitted students weren’t released, they knew the admission numbers wouldn’t be high.

"That’s good then," Feng Dan exhaled with relief, "I hope I can stay in Capital City to work after graduating."

Even if she wanted her family to know she was the most promising, she didn’t want to work just outside her front door.

"The opportunities for development in Capital City are better than back home, plus being appropriately distant makes things even better."

Feng Dan knew some of her relatives’ temperaments; to avoid getting entangled with them, it would be better to stay and work in Capital City.

"Xiao Jie, have you thought about where you want to work after graduation?" If possible, she hoped her best friend could join her in working in Capital City.

Where to work after graduation, "Is that for me to decide?" She knew that the assignment of jobs for university graduates would continue until the ’90s.

For these first batch of university graduates, was it really possible for them to go wherever they wanted?

"If you want to stay in Capital City to work, you need to perform well."

"Otherwise, you’ll be sent back to your hometown." Outstanding university students, of course, would stay in large cities.

For example, if they studied at a university in Capital City, the chance to stay and work there was significant.

Got it, Feng Dan clenched her fists, "I will definitely try my best, and then try even harder."

"If you and Xiao Hui both stay in Capital City, what about your parents?" Feng Dan knew Feng Xiaohui was in the military and wasn’t sure when he would be discharged.

If he stayed in the military, it would be Feng Xiaohui who would take care of the three elders in Feng’s house.

"About that, my parents said they’ll see when they retire," said Shen Jie, quite certain.

"If we both end up working in Capital City, they would probably move there to live."

In her past life, Shen Xiaoguang retired from the military; with the family’s circumstances looking good this time, and she being alive and well, Shen Xiaoguang would surely continue on his past life’s trajectory.

Feng Dan breathed a sigh of relief, staying together in Capital City for development was really quite good.
