Chapter 440 Yan Da
Xu Qinghuan knew about the two children; they were both exceptionally talented. Her son was calm and reserved, which made it easier for him to hide his true nature, but her daughter was like a female version of Sun Wukong, with a strong desire to perform that was difficult to conceal.

"A little," Xu Qinghuan readily admitted. "She's probably a bit smarter than the average child."

Huo Zhui said, "Then we must train him well!"

He raised his hand and stroked Xingxing's hair, the softness flowing through his palm, and the bitterness in his heart was impossible to dispel.

One step too late, and you miss out on everything.

Auntie was preparing a meal, and Shen Xiuqin went to help. Xu Qinghuan also went in to assist.

“Aye’s eldest sister is helping out at home right now, but one person probably isn’t enough. Godmother, do you know any capable aunties? I’d like to find someone else to help.”

Shen Xiuqin doesn't have a suitable one yet. "I'll ask around for you, and I'll also ask around for you. I know a lot of people."

The aunt said, "There is one, but he was fired. He used to work for the leader's family. He was a very capable person and was doing a good job. I don't know how he offended the family, but they wouldn't let him work. He's in a hurry to find a job."

However, he's a good person; we've known each other for years, and I know him inside and out.

Since they were dismissed for a mistake, it's difficult to find them, so it's best if the employer doesn't say anything.

Xu Qinghuan said, "If it's not her fault, what does it matter? I'm going to register tomorrow. Could you ask your aunt to come to my house around 5 p.m. so we can meet and talk?"

The aunt was quite happy.

The next day, Jiang Xingye, Jiang Xingmei, and Xu Qinghuan went to register.

The two first took Jiang Xingmei to the Textile University, where her department would pick her up when new students arrived. Only then did Jiang Xingye and Xu Qinghuan go to their own school, Yenching University.

The classical three-panel vermilion palace gate is solemn and elegant. Xu Qinghuan had entered and exited here countless times, spending four years of her life here. But no matter how many times she saw it, it always deeply impressed her.

About 12 meters south of the school gate is a place called Xigou. In feudal society, this was a place where countless literati lingered and composed poems, witnessing countless changes over the years.

Standing here again, Xu Qinghuan was overwhelmed with emotions.

Over the years, Jiang Xingye has become a worldly man. He deeply understands the distance between himself and Xu Qinghuan. He chased after her desperately, and finally, he was qualified to stand shoulder to shoulder with her.

At this moment, Jiang Xingye's feelings were also very complicated.

Seeing the two people standing at the entrance, each carrying a yellow satchel, the freshmen who had come to register behind them, dragging suitcases and bags, were all waiting behind them, not knowing what had happened, and the number of people was increasing.

"Excuse me, are you two new students here to register? Which department are you from?"

"From the Department of Mathematics and Mechanics and the Department of Medicine."

Jiang Xingye originally wanted to study mechanical engineering, but because his grades were too good, he was transferred to the Department of Mathematics and Mechanics.

This area focuses on scientific research.

These days, you can do whatever the country needs you to do, and your personal wishes are sometimes not taken seriously.

“Mathematics and Mechanics Department, come with me. Medical Department, hey, Li Hu, come here for a second. There’s a freshman in the Medical Department over here. Take her to register.” Student Union Vice President Xue Congbin called to a boy not far away.

The boy was over thirty years old and was a senior student from the previous year who came to school through a recommendation.

Before the resumption of the college entrance examination, students who could enter universities were selected through a combination of public recommendation, leadership approval, and school review; they were commonly known as worker-peasant-soldier students.

Some of those recommended to attend university only had a primary school education, making it impossible for university professors to teach them effectively. They even had to provide supplementary secondary school education. Consequently, worker-peasant-soldier university students did not have a good reputation. The difference in ability between university students after the resumption of the college entrance examination and those worker-peasant-soldier students became stark, as did their social status.

Xue Congbin wanted to take Jiang Xingye to register, but he declined, saying, "I'll accompany my wife to register first!"

When Li Hu, who had rushed over excitedly, heard that Xu Qinghuan was married, he asked in surprise, "Oh, you're married?"

Xu Qinghuan smiled and patted Jiang Xingye's arm. "Excuse me, which way do I go to register at the medical school?"

Li Hu hurriedly said, "Let me take you there!"

"No need to trouble yourself. Just point us in the right direction. There are many other students who need help." Xu Qinghuan had been here for four years and knew the school very well. She didn't go herself because she didn't want to attract attention.

Seeing this, Li Hu pointed ahead and said, "Go straight ahead, turn left at the second intersection, and there you'll find the medical school's new student reception area."

After thanking them, the two went over together.

As they walked, Xu Qinghuan introduced the school to him, from its history to its future development.

"As far as I know, the Department of Mathematics and Mechanics mainly focuses on scientific research. What direction do you plan to pursue in the future?" Xu Qinghuan asked.

"It's uncertain at the moment. I want to master the technology first. Even if I take the commercial route in the future, I still want to make some progress in cutting-edge science."

Xu Qinghuan laughed and said, "I once watched a science fiction movie that I thought was really good. In it, there was a company called Stanker Industries. Its CEO encountered a conspiracy and was hit by shrapnel. He was in critical condition. In order to save his life, with the help of a physicist who was also kidnapped, he built the Arc Reactor. Later, he used it as an energy source to power the steel mechs he made and fight against the enemy and win the battle."

Xu Qinghuan described the Iron Man suits that Tony made in "Iron Man": "Although I knew it was a science fiction movie, the scenes were very cool, and I especially liked them. I felt that future technology would definitely develop to this point."

Jiang Xingye found it hard to imagine, but he felt that Xu Qinghuan was considering a line of thought.

"The point of me telling you this is that, whether in the past, present, or future, the technological development of the West and China is far more advanced than ours. For at least the next thirty or forty years, the most common thing Chinese entrepreneurs will do is imitate and copy other people's technologies."
We may lack the capability, funding, and time to develop our own core technologies, but whoever takes the lead will be the biggest beneficiary in the future.

Jiang Xingye patted her shoulder and said, "I know, I won't be so short-sighted as to only look at immediate benefits. I will strive to have my own core technologies."

"Well, I believe you!"

After registering, Xu Qinghuan applied to be a day student. She was assigned to the sixth class of clinical medicine. After finding out that there was a class meeting the next afternoon, she went to find Jiang Xingye.

After Jiang Xingye finished registering, the two went to the mall together and each bought a bicycle to ride home.

With the two younger children being looked after by Grandpa and Grandma Jiang, and since it was still early, Jiang Xingye took Jiang Nanyin to a nearby primary school to inquire about transferring to another class. The Huo family had already made arrangements, so things went smoothly. After the enrollment procedures were completed, they could start school the next day.

Jiang Nanyin brought the books back, and Jiang Xinglan and she wrapped them all up with newspaper.

Xu Qinghuan opened the book and asked Jiang Nanyin, "Where did we leave off before? You should have learned quite a bit in school now. You might fall behind. Are you worried?"

Jiang Nanyin pursed her lips and shook her head, "I'm not afraid!"

She thought for a moment and added, "Mom said you're a really good student, Aunt. If I don't understand something, I'll ask you and Uncle for help. As long as I'm willing to work hard, I can do well."

Xu Qinghuan liked this kind of child. She nodded in agreement, "That's true. As long as you are willing to endure hardship and have a never-give-up spirit, there are no insurmountable difficulties. You should study hard first, and ask me and your uncle if you don't understand something."
