1978: Female educated youth, don’t want an illiterate husband

Chapter 268: Foreign exchange earning atomic bomb, sacrifice of the global hit Harry Potter (seeking full order)
"What about your sister Wenxiu? Xuemin, which major do you recommend she choose?"

"Classical Literature in the Chinese Department? She seems to like this major very much, and it suits her personality!"

Following my brother-in-law Wang Quanwen, I asked my elder sister Cheng Wenxiu what major she should apply for, and also told her what they wanted to apply for.

This year, Yenching University's admissions in the entire province of northern Shaanxi are limited to these three majors.

One is classical literature in the Chinese Department, one is international politics, and the other is journalism in the Journalism Department.

My cousin Qin Xiaolian’s personality is indeed not very suitable for classical literature, let alone international politics. What does a country kid know about politics, let alone international politics?

So it is completely fine to choose the journalism department. After discussing it with her brother-in-law and others, they also recommended that she choose the journalism department.

The elder sister Cheng Wenxiu's personality is the opposite of that of her cousin. She is not very suitable for the journalism department, but is more suitable for the study of classical literature. She also directly passed the major of international politics.

So, now when Cheng Xuemin calls, his cousin's wishes are basically the same.

Next was my elder sister Cheng Wenxiu. My brother-in-law also talked about it on the phone.

"Uh! Brother-in-law, didn't your county high school teacher suggest that you apply to Xi'an Jiaotong University in our provincial capital?"

"I'm definitely going to college with you!"

My sister wants to apply for the Classical Literature major in the Chinese Department of Yenching University? What about my brother-in-law?
She can't give up her man just because she came to Yanjing to help take care of the little squirrel, right?

Moreover, the couple are going to college separately. What should be done with their nephew Qingwa? Should he stay in his hometown to be taken care of by his parents-in-law and grandparents?
Just before leaving, Feng Liqin and Feng Liwen were still wondering when Qingwa would come back to play with them.

I also asked my uncle Cheng Xuemin to call and ask about it.

“My county high school teacher did suggest that I apply to Xi’an Jiaotong University, but your sister and I discussed it on the way back to the commune.

Your sister is still studying at Yenching University. I will apply to Yenching Normal University. I can continue to teach after graduation. What do you think, Xuemin? Can I get into Yenching Normal University with my score?"

Cheng Xuemin was immediately surprised when he heard his brother-in-law Wang Quanwen's words from the other end of the phone. He was thinking about letting his elder sister answer the phone and give her some advice.

But I didn't expect that the couple already had an idea.

Yenching Normal University is good. My brother-in-law can definitely get in with his score.

Cheng Xuemin immediately said, "Brother-in-law, you do have a lot of choices with this score. You can go to Xi'an Jiaotong University and Xi'an University of Technology in our provincial capital, Yanjing Normal University, Yanjing Agricultural University, and Yanjing University of Technology!"

"If you and I have decided, I'll apply for the Classical Literature major at Yenching University, and you can apply for the Education major. When you graduate, I'll help you find a job teaching at the university, and we'll all be university professors!"

Of course, it would be great if both my brother-in-law and sister could come to Yanjing University to attend university. This was the idea behind Cheng Xuemin bringing my sister out to tutor her.

As for their graduation in four years, with Cheng Xuemin's current energy, it shouldn't be a problem to help them find jobs as teachers in school.

Even if they cannot stay in school to teach, Cheng Xuemin has a way to arrange a job for them in Yenching so that they don't have to be assigned to local areas.

"Okay, okay, it's settled, Xuemin! Tell your parents and uncle, and we'll talk about it when we meet!"

After finishing the business, my brother-in-law felt bad about the long-distance call charges, so he didn't ask for it.

Cheng Xuemin's parents did not answer the phone. Instead, his elder sister Cheng Wenxiu answered the phone and asked about Feng Jiayou's confinement and her nephew Little Squirrel.

Women should be more careful and care about these things.

Cheng Xuemin also gave a brief talk and helped Little Squirrel convey a message, saying that he was looking forward to his aunt's early return in Yanjing.

My elder sister Cheng Wenxiu nodded repeatedly on the phone and said that she would come here as soon as she received the admission letter.

Finally, it was the uncle who answered the phone again. Cheng Xuemin told his uncle again that his cousin Xiaolian should apply for the Journalism Department of Yenching University and it would not be a problem for her to get in.

I was so happy that my uncle was on the phone and kept saying yes.

Finally, Cheng Xuemin also mentioned on the phone that he would leave for the Northwest in two days and might pass by the provincial capital, but he would not get off the bus and go back to Chengjiawan.

Instead, he said on the phone that this trip to shoot the movie might take a month or so, and when he returns, he will go back and pick up his older sister and cousin.

The person on the other end of the phone heard that Cheng Xuemin would be back home in a month or so at the earliest, and he could also hear the happy words of his parents and elder sister.

At the end of the call, the bill was five dollars and sixty-eight cents. The call lasted more than five minutes, so a dollar a minute in total. It turns out that long-distance calls in this era were indeed not affordable for ordinary people.

More than five dollars is a huge sum of money in their Chengjiawan countryside!

I don’t know if Cheng Xuemin’s mother will feel heartbroken after spending this money.

But most likely, it will be my uncle who will rush to pay the phone bill because his eldest daughter Qin Xiaolian was admitted to Yenching University, and he is so happy!

After making the call, Cheng Xuemin did not return to the Overseas Chinese Apartment, but stayed directly at the courtyard.

Turn on the electric fan and continue writing!
"The Ordinary World" is almost finished, and Cheng Xuemin is going to write a foreign language manuscript next.

Respond to the above call and strive to write a popular medium-length or long-length novel.

Originally, Cheng Xuemin planned to pay direct tribute to "Harry Potter", but considering his current status and influence outside, he has not yet reached his peak.

Let’s not talk about whether writing a tribute to "Harry Potter" can be accepted immediately after submitting it. After all, the original author’s manuscript was not accepted when he submitted it for the first time.

Moreover, even if the manuscript is accepted, the royalties will not be too high. The royalties for the original author's first work were indeed not high.

But "Harry Potter" is the absolute trump card in Cheng Xuemin's hand, and he must strive to maximize the benefits.

Therefore, I have to continue writing more foreign-language manuscripts and strive to raise my status in the international literary world. Then, when I submit Harry Potter, there will definitely be a problem of it not being accepted, as there will definitely be a lot of competition for it.

At that time, the issue of royalties will definitely be decided by the author Cheng Xuemin, and it will be negotiable.

Try to play this trump card in your hand even louder than the original author in the previous life, and then the foreign exchange earnings will come in like a ton, right?

So, putting aside the idea of ​​paying tribute to and plagiarizing "Harry Waves", Cheng Xuemin thought about it, and after choosing and choosing again, a novella appeared in his mind.

This manuscript is not simple. It was very popular throughout North America at that time, and the film and television adaptation was also very successful.

It’s her!
Immediately, Cheng Xuemin began to write his tribute, hoping to submit the article after returning from the Northwest.

Before I knew it, I had written four to five thousand words while sitting at my desk in the whole afternoon. I don't know when Feng Jiayou and her two sisters-in-law finished their nap and came back with the little squirrel.

"How is Xuemin? Did you call? How did my sister, Xiaolian, and brother-in-law do in the exam?"

When Feng Jiayou saw Cheng Xuemin stop writing, he asked impatiently.

Cheng Xuemin knew what the woman was thinking. She was hoping that her aunt would be able to pass the exam and return to Yanjing to help her take care of the children.

The main reason was that the aunt was there before, and she helped with all the chores, and never let Feng Jiayou, the sister-in-law, do anything.

Of course, Feng Jiayou was also in confinement at the time, so it was impossible for her to do it.

But it’s different now!

After her aunt went back home and Feng Jiayou was out of confinement, someone had to wash her son's diapers. Feng Jiayou hated it and never washed them once. Cheng Xuemin was the one who did it all.

Of course it’s not in vain!
Cheng Xuemin does these things during the day, and his wife will cooperate with him at night.

"Wife, nothing unexpected happened. My sisters and the others all did well in the exam, and their scores are similar to my second sister-in-law's estimated scores!" Cheng Xuemin nodded with a smile, stopped writing the pen, put the cap on it, then turned around and said to Feng Jiayou.

"What about my brother-in-law? How many points did he estimate?"

The estimated scores of the elder sister and cousin were almost the same, so Feng Jiayou had some idea in his mind. Combined with the estimated scores of Feng Jiamo, his second sister-in-law, and Zhu Shan today, he had an even better idea.

The most important thing now is my brother-in-law who is reviewing alone at home. How many points did he estimate?

My brother-in-law's grades are directly related to whether my sister can come to Yanjing, so Feng Jiayou is particularly concerned about it.

"My brother-in-law also did well in the exam. He is estimated to have scored 370 or 380 points. It won't be a problem for him to go to Xi'an Jiaotong University or Xi'an University of Technology in our provincial capital!"

Cheng Xuemin knew what she was worried about, but he didn't tell her directly that his brother-in-law would apply to Yenching Normal University.

"Three hundred and seventy or eighty points? Then why didn't my brother-in-law apply to Yanjing Normal University?!"

As expected, when Feng Jiayou heard that her brother-in-law might apply to Xi'an Jiaotong University and stay in the provincial capital of northern Shaanxi, she immediately said, "Xuemin, didn't you tell me and your brother-in-law?"

"With this score, I'm sure I can get into Yanjing University. Isn't my brother-in-law a teacher? It's just right for me to apply to Yanjing Normal University!"

"Yenching Normal University is not far from our home. It only takes half an hour by bike. It's very convenient!"

Just as my wife Feng Jiayou said, Yenching Normal University is right next to Yanjing Film Studio, which is really close to home.

If I hadn't moved here and was still living at Mr. Qian's place, it would be even closer.

At that time, my mother-in-law and her family rented a house at Mr. Qian's place so that my eldest brother-in-law and sister-in-law could work closer.

"Wife, have you really thought it through?!"

"If my sister and brother-in-law come over, will you let them stay at home as day students?"

Cheng Xuemin listened and nodded with a smile. He did not get anxious with Feng Jiayou, but instead asked about this matter.

If my elder sister and brother-in-law are admitted to Yanjing, Cheng Xuemin needs to explain clearly to Feng Jiayou in advance how their accommodation will be arranged.

Or you can explain it clearly to the mother-in-law in the front yard.

After all, there was nothing wrong with coming here to review for the exam and staying at my younger brother's house.

At that time, my mother-in-law and her family were looking forward to the housing allocation from my father-in-law's unit and were preparing to move out soon, so the two families got along quite well.

But it’s different now!

Because my father-in-law wanted to make further progress, he took the initiative to give the housing allocated by the unit to colleagues who needed it more, and waited for the next batch of housing to be allocated.

But I don’t know how long I will have to wait.

So in the short term, my father-in-law and his family will continue to live here.

If Cheng Xuemin's sister and brother-in-law come over and choose to live at home as a day student so that they can take care of the little squirrel, that would be four years of college.

For four years, the two families have lived in the front and back yards like this. Cheng Xuemin is worried that conflicts will arise!
"Of course I live at home! With so many rooms at home, how could there be a lack of rooms for my sister and brother-in-law?"

Feng Jiayou rolled his eyes at Cheng Xuemin, then thought of something and said, "Xuemin, are you saying that my grandparents are living in the house where I used to live, and you're worried that my sister and brother-in-law might have some ideas?"

"That's fine! Aren't we going to move to the apartment? When my sister and brother-in-law come over, we can just let them live in this house!"

"It's not a housing issue!" Cheng Xuemin shook his head. His sister and brother-in-law Cheng Xuemin knew that there were several empty houses in the courtyard. How much worse could it be than an earthen kiln in the countryside?
His sister and brother-in-law definitely don’t have any other thoughts about which house he lives in!

Cheng Xuemin was mainly worried that if they lived in the front and back yards for too long, conflicts would arise between the two families.

"What else do you have to say, Xuemin?" Feng Jiayou said to him again, and then his eyes lit up and asked in surprise, "So, my sister and brother-in-law will come to Yanjing to attend university?"

"That should be the case! Wife, you and I have the same idea. She also asked brother-in-law to apply to Yanjing Normal University, so we will come together after the admission letter comes in a month or so."

"I also told them on the phone that after I finish filming the movie, I will stop by and bring them all here!"

Cheng Xuemin smiled and nodded. As long as there was no problem with his sister-in-law Feng Jiayou, there would be no problem.

After all, Cheng Xuemin had watched many urban ethics TV dramas in his previous life, in which the most difficult relationships were those between aunts and sisters-in-law and between mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law.

There is currently no difficult relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in their family, and Cheng Xuemin's mother is not around.

So it’s mainly a sister-in-law relationship.

There is a natural hostility between the sister-in-law and the sister-in-law. Fortunately, Cheng Xuemin is the aunt and the sister-in-law, so it is somewhat better.

After all, in every family, the elder sister will give in and pamper her younger sister-in-law. It is even more exaggerated in Cheng Wenxiu's case. After all, the couple were able to get into university thanks to their younger brother Cheng Xuemin.

"That's great! The whole family should have taken the exam here. The provincial capital is not as good as Beijing!"

Hearing that his aunt would be here soon, Feng Jiayou was extremely happy.

"Well, this is what I'm thinking. When my sisters come over, we can light up the stove in the backyard so that the whole family doesn't have to eat in one room. Do you think it's okay, wife?"

After my brother-in-law and sister came over, we had to separate and live separately. It was impossible for us to eat together like before.

When her sister and brother-in-law pass the exam, the school will not only provide them with financial aid, but also meal tickets, vegetable tickets and meat tickets. They can completely set up a separate household registration in Yanjing and live independently.

We have to spend it alone, and it’s not good to eat together.

"Well... I think it's okay. I'll mention it to mom later!" Feng Jiayou thought about it and felt that what her husband said made sense. After all, everyone lives their own life. Her elder sister is a family to them, but she is somewhat separated from her parents, brother, sister-in-law, grandparents.

"Then in this case, won't we be able to eat whatever we want in the front and back yards in the future?!" Feng Jiayou smiled happily.

Thinking that there were fires in the front and back yards, it must be that the family with the better food would go to that house.

"That's for sure!"

Cheng Xuemin hooked his wife's nose and said with a smile.

But do you still want to have the best of both worlds?

The woman really wishes for something!

Cheng Xuemin predicted that he would most likely eat more at his mother-in-law's house in the front yard. After all, his sister and brother-in-law were used to being frugal, and the food would definitely not be as good as that in the front yard.

……

Asking for a monthly ticket!
