Back to the 60s: The Struggle Career of a Charmed Wife

"We're getting older, and eating meat at night doesn't digest well. Why not have some noodles with a couple of poached eggs? Today, your Aunt Cuilan made quite a bit of noodles and sent them over with Brother Tianzhi who came to fill out his college application. We have enough to last us several days, and there's a big jar of chili oil too. Let's save the meat for tomorrow noon when Xibao makes some braised pork and brings it to you," said Lu's father, getting Cheng Baoguo's approval.

The chili oil is made from mutton fat, and mixing a bit of it with steaming hot noodles turns them into a fragrant dish that makes everyone break out in a sweat, with a sense of comfort seeping from their pores.

Xibao hadn't finished his bowl of noodles when he received a call from Feng Qingxue.

"Xibao, did you specifically call with something on your mind?" Feng Qingxue's voice sounded tired, but she was very concerned about her eldest son. If it wasn't urgent, he usually wouldn't phone.

Xibao asked with concern, "Mom, you've been working hard, try to rest early. It's nothing important; just when I was filling out my college application, Principal Zhou let it slip about my exam results, and I wanted to tell you and Dad."

Feng Qingxue perked up, "Already filled out the application? Is it Capital University?"

"Yes, Capital University, Law School, and then I'll minor in Economics," Xibao answered, then added, "Principal Zhou said I only lost six points between Politics and Chinese out of five subjects. My total score is considered first in the province."

Feng Qingxue exclaimed, "Top scorer in college entrance exams! My son is amazing!"

In the past life, how many points did the science top scorer of this province get in the 1977 exams? I don't know, but certainly not as high as my eldest son's 494 points. I'm too proud; what should I do?

Xibao grinned, "When I get the acceptance letter, I'll go to the Capital with Grandpa and Grandma."

"Mom eagerly awaits your return!" Feng Qingxue planned to rest the next day and decided to thoroughly clean and tidy up the rooms for the three elders and Xibao. "With you guys being old and young, don't bring too much luggage. Leave things you can leave at home, pack and mail what you can. We don't lack the postage fee, don't tire yourselves."

Xibao quickly added, "Brother Tianzhi, Brother Guan Yu, and Sister Zhou Zhou plan to apply to universities in the Capital. Sister Zhou Zhou wants to apply to Capital Normal University, Brother Tianzhi is applying to the Western Language Department of Capital University, and Brother Guan Yu says he wants to apply to Chinese Literature. If they successfully get in, we can go together, so you don't have to worry."

"That's fantastic, our whole family can reunite. Your Brother Guan Cheng applied to a university in the Capital too, given his job is located there. He doesn't want to give up on either side," Feng Qingxue was even more delighted.

"Didn't Sister Wenxiu from Brother Guan Cheng's family take the entrance exam? Grandpa Jin is quite concerned about her."

Feng Qingxue answered her son, "She applied to Capital's Teachers University. I think the chances of her getting in are very high. The country is prioritizing majors in medicine and education, and she's doing well. With your Brother Guan Cheng's help, she ranked quite high in the exams. Tell Grandpa that Sister Xiaoyue also took the entrance exams. She took them in the Southeast Military Region and directly applied to a school there."

Jiang Xiaoyue, after moving to the Southeast Military Region due to her husband's transfer, was quite free without any work. With Feng Qingxue's suggestion, she put her son in preschool for some learning while she picked up her books again. Surprisingly, she didn't perform well initially but still passed the preliminary selection, thrilled enough to immediately call both Feng Qingxue and her father Jiang Yun.
