Chapter 1418 College Admissions 2
Lu Jiang cracked a slight smile, "With so many good soldiers in the guard battalion, someone will replace you. You don’t need to worry about my safety. Once you get to school, don’t get involved in anything. Seize the opportunity and study hard. The university that recommended you is Capital University. The school term starts in September, so you’ll leave around the 20th of August. However, keep this matter to yourself, a good number of people want to go to university, and knowing that you have a spot will definitely stir up trouble."
Ping Zhengkai said respectfully, "Yes, rest assured!"
The smile at the corners of his eyes was like watermelon juice dripping down a watermelon.
Feng Qingxue felt incredibly envious inside. She also wanted to go to university, to at least get a diploma.
Seven years later, she would be overage for the college entrance examination and would not be able to participate, leaving her only chance for schooling right now. However, there were conditions for going to school: soldiers, workers, staff members of various government organizations, peasants, and sent-down youth, regardless of their previous educational level or age, were all eligible, but, of course, it was based on a recommendation system, not just anyone who wanted to go could go.
Although after graduation, for many years their status as true college students was not recognized, graduates from Capital University who were from worker, peasant, and soldier backgrounds could only be considered as having a Bachelor’s degree, but wasn’t that still better than Feng Qingxue having no diploma at all? Also, it would make continuing education later on easier.
But Feng Qingxue knew she couldn’t bring it up and make things difficult for Lu Jiang.
She had already retired from service, was not a worker, a soldier, a peasant, or a staff member of any government organization, but just a military dependent. If she wanted to study, of course, Lu Jiang could get her a spot, but she didn’t want to do that. She couldn’t let Lu Jiang’s life be tainted, nor could she abandon her children at home just to pursue her own interests.
