Next was to fill in college applications. Li Xianglu and Qin Xi both applied to the same university, Capital University, because the majors they chose were more authoritative there.
However, Qin Zhen was in a bit of trouble. This guy ******** wanted to attend a military academy, and National Defense University hadn’t started recruiting yet. Li Xianglu remembered it wasn’t until seven or eight years later that the school changed its name and began to recruit. So after much consideration, Qin Zhen chose Fudan University in Shanghai, and for his major, he might as well study finance, since he didn’t have anything specific in mind to study.
The reason for going to Shanghai was simple. In Shanghai, Qin Zhen had tasted many foods he’d never tried before and had even stumbled upon a treasure. In his eyes, Shanghai was a place of treasures, and he was stubborn to the core; no one could persuade him otherwise.
Qu Yeyu scored 230 points on the exam, which was considered a high score, exceeding the admission cut-off by twenty points. She applied to a teachers’ college in the province.
Li Jianqing didn’t take the exam, as the military hadn’t opened up for that yet. Li Xianglu felt it was a pity. Why was he so stubborn, unwilling to wait it out for just one more year and insisting on enlisting? He left in April, and by the end of the year, it was the college entrance exam, which really didn’t pay off. He would have had to wait another year anyway, as the 1978 exam was in the fall and much more difficult.
Because Li Dafu’s youngest son knew about it early and had a good foundation, and he had Li Xianglu’s test papers, he scored over 290 points, which was also considered a high score. He applied to the provincial Transportation University, instantly becoming a bit of a celebrity. Li Dafu was very happy and specifically sent half a sheep to Li Huai Ren’s house as a thank you.
What made Li Xianglu feel a bit sour was that Qin Miao, the one who had sabotaged her multiple times, scored quite well too, around 340 points. It was just that she didn’t know which university he had applied to.
Then came the Spring Festival of 1977.
The festival was tense for everyone as many households were waiting for their admission notices.
