Chapter 495, Side Story 2: A New Journey, A Reunion

"Second brother, hurry up, come this way!"

Bai Nuo neatly parked the car, locked the door with a "click," and jogged towards the military green jeep next to him.

She and Fang Meng took a day off today to pick up their friends from the Qishui Brigade.

Before leaving, they counted the number of people and realized that one car wouldn't be enough, so the two of them each drove a car.

However, when she got to the door, Bai Nuo suddenly felt that her car was not spacious enough, so she quickly grabbed the keys to her father's Jeep, jumped into the driver's seat, and sped away.

What good will wishing you a triumphant return do?

There's no other way but to spoil your own precious daughter.

Finally, Commander Zhu drove his daughter's recently modified light pink sedan to the Commander-in-Chief's meeting.

As for the matter of saving face for the commander, Commander Zhu didn't care at all.

His daughter, who has won first-class and second-class merit medals multiple times at a young age, is his greatest source of pride.

Who dares to laugh at him!

Does anyone have a daughter who became a deputy regimental commander at the age of eighteen?!

Are there any regimental commanders' sons-in-law who have just turned twenty?!

Really? Really?!

So, let alone Zhu Kaixuan driving a pink sedan to the meeting, even if he rode a donkey there, no one would dare to laugh at him!

After all, their daughter and son-in-law were just awarded two first-class merit medals by their leaders at the All-Army Honors Conference last week.

Speaking of this pink car, it was a while ago that Bai Nuo was bored and went to the military factory next door to play. He also helped the research institute debug a new type of weapon coating.

Even after finishing, her enthusiasm hadn't waned. She then gathered a few close young researchers and gave her car a fresh new pink makeover, instantly making her the most stylish person on the street in the residential compound.

This period has probably been the most lively time since the end of the college entrance examination.

Universities across the country are welcoming new students one after another. The group of friends from the Qishui Brigade have all been admitted to universities in Beijing, just as they had promised.

When Bai Nuo left the Qishui Brigade, he left them several sets of junior and senior high school textbooks, including several math, physics and chemistry books.

In the past two years, she and Fang Meng have also frequently called home to urge them to study hard.

Especially after the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination was confirmed, she sent two large packages of practice books and review questions back to Beijing, almost "writing them to death" several of her friends.

Besides Sun Yuxi, Chao Xianhua, and other former educated youth, Wei Jia and Wei Guo, the siblings from the Wei family, also passed the university entrance exam and came to Beijing.

Moreover, Wei Qiang and Wei Jian, who had been frequently dragged along by their younger siblings to study in the past two years, also took the college entrance examination.

Although I only got into a junior college in Liaoning Province, in those days, whether it was a secondary vocational school or a junior college, the value of a degree was real.

Lu Wenming, the second son of the former Party Secretary, benefited from his association with the Wei siblings and Xie Weidong. He achieved good results in the college entrance examination and was admitted to a good university in Lian City.

I heard that a few people from the educated youth institute also passed the exam. Although the school wasn't top-tier, in this era, passing the exam was a great honor and a sign of a bright future.

The fact that more than a dozen college students suddenly emerged from Qishui Brigade is unparalleled, not only in the county but also in the entire Liaoning Province. The sensation it caused is unimaginable.

I heard that even the provincial government leaders went there.

Bai Nuo heard that during that period, her Uncle Wei walked with a brisk pace, his steps were unrecognizable, and he slept with his mouth wide open at night.

Finally, Aunt Cui'e couldn't take it anymore and slapped him awake. After all, no one could stand being woken up in the middle of the night for three or four consecutive nights.

As Bai Nuo finished speaking on the phone, she laughed so hard she couldn't stand up straight. Wei Zhongping, who had just returned from get off work, could hear her infectious laughter even outside the brigade headquarters.

The admission notices were sent to Qishui Brigade one after another. After confirming the schools, the friends called Bai Nuo again.

Xie Weidong was admitted to Beijing University of Political Science and Law; Sun Yuxi and Chao Xianhua went to Beijing Huada University, one studying finance and the other studying fashion design.

Qin Xuehua enrolled in Beijing Normal University, which was a big step towards her childhood dream of becoming a teacher.

Eugene originally wanted to apply to the same school as Chao Xianhua, but he was struggling to choose a major. Later, Fang Meng called him and talked to him, and after discussing it with Chao Xianhua, they finally decided on the computer science department at Peking University.

A profession that is both novel and mysterious in this era.

Wei Jia was admitted to the Journalism Department of Renmin University of China in Beijing, which is quite in line with her competitive personality.

When choosing a school and major, the entire Wei family was completely clueless.

The entire Wei family are farmers, except for the fourth son, Wei Sheng, who is serving in the army in Beijing. However, due to his outstanding performance, Wei Sheng was sent by the military region to the Shijiazhuang Military Academy for a year of closed-door training, and they could not be contacted at all.

Finally, Wei Zhongping returned home from get off work, glanced at the whole family with disdain, and made one last call to Bai Nuo.

With such a capable child at home, these idiots don't even know to ask, and they don't even know what that hole under his nose is for.

Based on Wei Jia's usual grades and personality, Bai Nuo recommended Renmin University's Journalism Department, and it was a perfect match.

As for Wei Guo, Fang Meng suggested that he apply to the Beijing Mining School, which is also a key university with a bright future after graduation.

After Bai Nuo and Fang Meng left, they arranged for Wei Zhongping to become a minor leader in the commune.

These past two years, Wei Zhongping has been living a comfortable and happy life. He doesn't have any great ambitions; he just hopes that the country is peaceful, everyone can have enough to eat, and that his children are safe, sound, and healthy.
