Chapter 426: Unforgettable (Subscribe for monthly tickets)

When Zhang Yunqi and Chu Jian arrived at the No. 1 Middle School, it was already past three in the afternoon. The midsummer sun was still scorching hot, and the first and second year high school students had already gone on holiday.

In the quiet campus, apart from the noisy sounds of cicadas, one can occasionally see a few hurried steps of high school graduates, with expressions of excitement, listlessness or confusion, swaying in the shadows of the trees in the summer of 1995.

Zhang Yunqi and Chu Jian received the application form from their homeroom teacher Luo Lin and went directly to Class 156. The front and back blackboards in the classroom were densely filled with answers to the six college entrance examination subjects.

Zhang Yunqi returned to his seat.

This throne, which has been with him for three years, should be the last time it has close contact with his buttocks in this life.

There were not too many students in the classroom. They were sitting in groups of three or four in their own seats. I guess most of them had already checked their answers and were thinking and struggling about how to fill in their applications.

As for how everyone did in the exam, there is actually no need to ask.

The answer is already written on his face.

Some are happy and some are sad.

Now, what lies before them is what to do in the future?
Students who perform well in the exam are naturally in a good mood and are relatively capricious in filling out their applications.

Students who performed poorly in the exam have very little room for choice at this time and are inevitably confused and even don’t know what to do.

Repeat reading?

Or go to work?

Or choose a crappy school that is not satisfactory based on your scores?
In short, this group of young people, who are still young, have to make life-changing decisions at an age when they are still young. Zhang Yunqi remembered this sentence: Why should we entrust the responsibility of choosing a lifelong career to those who are half-understanding, and why should we delay the emergence of mature vision in the wasteland that has already been harvested?
There is no answer.

Zhang Yunqi took a piece of white paper, looked at the blackboard, and prepared to check the answers.

In fact, he had checked the answers privately before and had a rough idea of ​​them. This time he just confirmed them with the official answers to be on the safe side.

You should know that in 1995, the college entrance examination in Xiangnan Province adopted the 3+2 model, and the liberal arts subjects were Chinese, mathematics, English, history and politics, with a total score of 750. At that time, the method of estimating scores before applying for admission was implemented, and it was not a parallel application, so it was very important to accurately estimate scores before filling in applications.

If the estimated score is too low, I would not dare to apply to a good school.

If your estimated score is too high and you apply to a good school but it doesn't get admitted, you may go to your second, third, or even fourth or fifth choice school.

This has led to many students who usually rank among the top in their grade but miscalculate their scores, often failing to get into their first choice school, which has become another major regret in their youth.

As for filling out the application form, you still need to have an in-depth and detailed understanding, have a clear idea in your mind, and clarify your own wishes before you can make a more accurate judgment.

However, when filling out their applications, many students are confused and don't know anything. They often just follow what their parents say, which results in them not being able to choose a major that suits them. For example, computer software (some universities have opened this major since 95) is definitely a good major with a promising future for ordinary students, according to Zhang Yunqi, but many students don't even know what this major is about.

Of course, every student considers different factors when filling out their application forms. The factors that Zhang Yunqi considered in order of importance are city, school, major, and his career interests.

In order to balance his career, he felt that the provincial capital of Lijin was the most suitable city for him to study.

Based on his estimated grades, there were only two universities in Lizhen City that were suitable for him: Central South University of Technology (renamed Central South University in 2000) and Shonan University, both of which were the first batch of "211 Project" and "985 Project" double first-class universities.

Judging from the admission scores, the two universities are quite similar. However, in later generations, Central South University of Technology, which was renamed Central South University, is better than Shonan University. It has 12 A-level (A- and above) subjects, while Shonan University has only 5.

The problem is that Zhang Yunqi had decided to choose a major in economics and management a long time ago.

Central South University of Technology is naturally good at engineering. In the field of economics, Xiangnan University has an absolute advantage and later merged with Xiangnan University of Finance and Economics, which was originally affiliated with the People's Bank of China.

Another point is my personal preference. Central South University is committed to building a world-class university with distinctive characteristics, while Xiangnan University is committed to becoming a comprehensive world-class university with historical and cultural heritage. Yuelu Academy, which has a long history and originated in the Song Dynasty, is known worldwide as a "millennium university".

Only in Chu are there talents, and here they flourish.

It sounds full of historical and cultural heritage.

Zhang Yunqi also wanted to be like Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang, Tan Sitong and other great alumni who have made their names in history, and be intoxicated by the influence of the temple of thought.

After considering all these, he decided to choose Shonan University.

The entire application form reflects his own ideas, not the ideas of his parents and teachers.

As for the first meeting, there will be no surprises. Her estimated scores are likely to be matched only by Peking University and Tsinghua University.

Peking University is a comprehensive university with good liberal arts and science. It is more comprehensive than Tsinghua University, and the Peking University spirit is more worthy of recognition. Historically, it is more closely linked to the fate of the country. In the 90s, it was generally believed in southern Hunan Province that science students should give priority to Tsinghua University, while liberal arts students should choose Peking University.

When I first met him, he was a liberal arts student, so Peking University was the most suitable one.

After checking the answers, Zhang Yunqi estimated his score to be 626. Based on the admission score of Xiangnan University in the 90s, he felt that there would be no problem in getting into Xiangnan University. If there was a problem, the school should have found a way to make it right.

Zhang Yunqi picked up the application form and was about to fill it out when he saw Tian Zhuangzhuang, Yu Qingqing, Yu Xiaorui, and Lin Yuqing walking into the classroom. Tian Zhuangzhuang seemed to have done well in the exam and was in high spirits, walking with his legs spread apart and a breeze.

Zhang Yunqi asked, "Where should I fill it in?"

Tian Zhuangzhuang lay on the desk in front of Zhang Yunqi, grinning: "My first choice is Guangdong Ocean University, my second choice is Hunan Agricultural University, and my third choice is Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University."

Zhang Yunqi was a little confused: "Why is it all agriculture?" Tian Zhuangzhuang patted his chest and said: "I have made up my mind to fight for the revitalization of socialist agriculture in my country for the rest of my life!"

Zhang Yunqi laughed: "Then why did you choose Guangdong Agricultural University as your first choice?"

Tian Zhuangzhuang said: "This is not difficult. The coastal areas have developed economies and were the first to implement reform and opening up. I want to learn from the advanced experience of developed areas, return to serve my hometown, and lead the people out of poverty and into prosperity."

Zhang Yunqi said happily: "Not bad, not bad. I didn't realize you were so ambitious."

Tian Zhuangzhuang curled his lips: "That's because you don't understand me."

Zhang Yunqi picked up the pen and began to fill out the application: "As I said before, I know you, just like a farmer knows manure."

"Vulgar! Pay attention to your identity." Tian Zhuangzhuang said: "Boss Zhang, where are you going to fill in?"

"Xiangnan University." Zhang Yunqi said as he filled in the form.

Tian Zhuangzhuang put his big fat face next to him and watched. His eyes widened and his mouth was full of "F*ck!" Awesome!
First choice: Shonan University.

Second choice: Shonan University.

Third choice: Shonan University.

Fourth choice: Shonan University.

Fifth choice: Shonan University.

The majors were all the same, applied economics in the Department of Economics and Management (the predecessor of the School of Economics and Trade).

After filling out the form, Zhang Yunqi saw Chujian and Yu Qingqing and a few other girls talking. Yu Qingqing had very good grades and applied to Xiangnan Normal University. Yu Xiaorui's grades were average and she probably didn't do well either, so she chose Jiangchuan Medical College. She looked rather depressed at the moment. Lin Yuqing, like Tian Zhuangzhuang, applied to a school in another province as her first choice.

Zhang Yunqi put away his pen and asked Chu Jian, "What do you think the score is?"

Chu Jian pursed his lips and said, "It should be able to reach 700."

After hearing this, Zhang Yunqi was speechless for a long time.

Tian Zhuangzhuang, Yu Qingqing and Yu Xiaorui were also speechless.

With such a score, he would be admitted to Tsinghua University or Peking University, and he would most likely be the top scorer in the provincial college entrance examination. But are they really surprised?
They can clearly see the traces of Chujian's steps over the past three years.

Time never lets anyone down.

Those countless moments when he lit a solitary lamp in the dead of night, in a place where no one cared, and illuminated the cold winter night, moving towards his ideal, did not let this girl down.

After a brief moment of surprise, Yu Qingqing asked, "First time seeing you, do you choose Peking University or Tsinghua University?"

After a moment's hesitation, he said, "Peking University."

Lin Yuqing quickly grasped the crux of the matter and asked subconsciously, "Zhang Yunqi is studying at a university in Lijin City. When he first saw you in the capital of the motherland, didn't he mean that you were going to have a long-distance relationship?"

This topic is quite sensitive, and it was a bit of an unintentional rubbing of salt into the wound. The matter has become an established fact, and Lin Yuqing brought it up in front of the two of them, which also seemed very lacking in emotional intelligence.

Zhang Yunqi was about to speak, but Chu Jian grabbed his hand, smiled, and said, "It's okay. His career is more important. Besides, everyone has a cell phone now, so it's convenient to contact him. Besides, there are still many winter and summer vacations to meet."

"Chu Jian is right. They say distance creates beauty. This is also good." Yu Xiaorui hurriedly smiled and tried to smooth things over.

She is Chu Jian's best friend and they were in the same class in junior high school. She knew very well that getting into Tsinghua University or Peking University was Chu Jian's lifelong wish and she would never give up. However, Zhang Yunqi chose Xiangnan University. The two places are so far apart, and the long emotional separation is hard to accept for girls like them who are in the midst of young love.

Not to mention, Chu Jian once gave up her life for Zhang Yunqi! There is no need to say more about how unforgettable love is. She just knows that even if Chu Jian's heart is bleeding at this moment, he will face it all with a smile.

"It's late, let's go first. Let's give the young couple some time alone." Yu Qingqing joked and asked everyone to leave first, but before leaving, she glanced at Chu Jian and sighed in her heart. If a boy like Zhang Yunqi can't be tied to her side, no matter how devoted and loyal he is, there will be no shortage of girls around him.

Several classmates soon dispersed.

Zhang Yunqi pinched Chu Jian's hot palms and stared into her eyes for a long time. He opened his mouth and finally said, "Are you thirsty? Wife, I'll buy you your favorite ice cream later."

Chu Jian hummed softly and smiled: "I want it now."

Zhang Yunqi stood up and said, "I'm going to Ximen Street. I'll be there soon. Wait for me."

When we first met, we smiled and said yes.

Zhang Yunqi turned and left.

Chu Jian watched his back disappear at the classroom door and then looked away.

She picked up the pen and without any hesitation, wrote the four words "Xiangnan University" in the first choice column on the application form.
