Chapter 124: Gossip_1
He Qiurong, feeling unfairly treated, retorted, "Of course you’d speak for her, since you’re her classmate."
Hu Xiufang suspected that this person was at odds with Li Qiao. Even if she argued further, it’s unlikely the other party would believe her, so she simply stopped paying attention and quietly discussed knitting with Li Qiao, "My sister-in-law also learned to knit. She finished two pieces yesterday, and my elder brother was planning to deliver them today. Fortunately, something came up at the last minute, otherwise, it would have been a wasted trip."
Li Qiao replied with a smile, "The people working at my house are all quite reliable. We could leave it to them, and when we get back, they will surely tell us all about it, though we would have to settle the accounts next time."
"When I get home, I’ll mention it to my elder brother," Hu Xiufang said, then curiously added, "I went to the supply and marketing cooperative yesterday. There weren’t many knitted items on display. Can they really sell all of these they’re collecting?"
"We can sell them to other places."
The two of them went from talking about knitting to discussing university studies.
Hu Xiufang said enviously, "You don’t have to worry about what major to choose, but I have no idea what I will study. How about attending Normal University? A relative of ours was recommended to attend Normal University. He said that, based on my estimated scores, I could freely choose my major."
Li Qiao repeated the advice given to the sent-down youth.
Hu Xiufang stuck to her guns, countering, "Isn’t having summer and winter breaks very refreshing? Besides, it doesn’t delay the salary."
Li Qiao said, "Summer and winter breaks are probably for the teachers to adjust their moods, right?" With all the stress throughout the year, would they even survive it? "If you want to be a teacher, you could become one at a university. University students are easier to manage. But the requirements are much higher, and you can’t relax in the university either."
"I’ll do my best, but what can you do with a major in physics and mathematics after you graduate?"
