Siheyuan: Steel Mill Engineer

Chapter 168 Thorns
"That's good to know, that's good to know." The deaf old lady also nodded repeatedly, as if she didn't hear the thorn in He Yushui's words.

"Yu Shui has made great progress. The He family will have hope in the future. He can pass the exam to become an engineer. Then we will have two engineers in our compound. It will be a great honor to tell others about this." Yan Bugui said happily.

"That's right, you now have something to look forward to. You have to take care of Sha Zhu in the future."

"It's not easy to train a college student these days. Look at Shazhu's lazy look. If it wasn't for your schooling, he wouldn't bother to take on so much work."

The dining table was shared by everyone, and there were no benches, so everyone ate standing up. No one cared, as everyone was in a good mood today. How they ate was just a matter of form, and eating happily was the most important thing.

"Okay, everyone. I feel embarrassed when you say this." He Yuzhu said cheerfully.

"Yu Shui is my biological sister. We have depended on each other for more than ten years. If I don't love her, would I still be a human being?" He Yuzhu said proudly.

"This silly Zhu did a lot of stupid things when he was young, but when it comes to the matter of rain, there is absolutely nothing to say."

"Yeah, that's unquestionable."

The neighbors agreed with this matter. No matter before or after the marriage, they were never ambiguous about He Yushui going to school.

Regarding He Yuzhu's personality, Yang Zhenyu thought that he didn't get married before because he was worried that He Yushui would be bullied. Later, he met Sha Meifeng and they fell in love with each other. Sha Meifeng was also very nice to He Yushui.

"Alright, alright. Everyone, today is a good day because it rains. I received the admission letter, so I'm sure I'll get into college. Apart from anything else, I have something to look forward to in the rainy days to come. As a brother, I'm relieved."

"Let's not talk about anything else. In the future, after I graduate from college, I will find a partner and live a good life. This will make me, Shazhu, worthy of my parents. Let's be happy today, so let's do as much as we can."

He Yuzhu stood there holding a wine glass, feeling extremely heroic. He had never been so proud in his life.

"Of course, everyone knows that Yu Shui's current status is all thanks to Zhenyu. If Zhenyu hadn't tutored him, Yu Shui's chances of getting into college would have been slim. Now that he's been admitted, the credit must go to Zhenyu."

At this time, He Yuzhu did not forget to praise Yang Zhenyu. After all, He Yushui had really put in a lot of effort in tutoring him over the years.

He Yushui was dealing with a cat's eye snail. This thing was not common, so he had to eat it quickly.

He Yuzhu was very happy, and everyone was also happy with the meal. Besides, it was a happy event, so the scene was naturally joyful.

All the neighbors were happy that He Yushui was admitted to university. Even though they favored boys over girls, they still wanted to congratulate him for being admitted.

You should know that there were 44.9 candidates that year, but colleges and universities only admitted 14.7.

Based on this ratio, you can imagine how difficult it is to go to college.

Of course, with the development of the times, the continuous expansion and construction of universities, the number of college students will also increase.

Even though during those ten years, university admissions changed from a single exam to factory-school cooperation and even commissioned training, there were still a certain number of students.

However, the value of the college graduates in those ten years remains to be verified, after all, they mainly focus on job training rather than systematic learning. "How is it, Yushui, are you happy?" Yang Zhenyu said, touching He Yushui with his arm.

"I'm happy, of course. I went to play with my classmates these days, and they were also very happy. There are only about ten people in our class who have received the admission notice, and the rest of the students are crowded." He Yushui said proudly.

"Don't worry. Some schools are far away, and the admission batches are different, so the time of issuing admission letters is also different. If you are admitted, you will definitely be able to get the admission letter." Yang Zhenyu said.

"Well, I have received it. I am definitely not in a hurry. Only my classmates are anxious. Some of them have already started contacting the factory. If they can't get the notice, they will definitely have to go to the factory." He Yushui said.

Even though they are high school students, they are still in high demand these days. Every year after the college entrance examination, not only will factories take the initiative to contact these candidates, but many government agencies will also contact them.

Because there is a shortage of all kinds of talents in this era, and high school students are more knowledgeable than ordinary people in all aspects and are more flexible in their work. In particular, high school students can write and calculate, which is very impressive.

"In a sense, joining a factory is also a good choice. Although you are a high school student, you can be a clerk in a factory. The salary is not bad, the work is easy, and you can go further and get a cadre position in the future." Yang Zhenyu nodded.

"I think so too. But I was admitted to university. When I graduate and come back, even if I am a clerk, my rank will be higher than theirs." He Yushui said proudly.

"Look at your lack of ability. You should study hard in college and try to pass the engineering qualification exam before graduation. Otherwise, it will be embarrassing to tell others about it." Yang Zhenyu said.

"No, Brother Zhenyu, you are bullying me. I don't have the ability to do that." He Yushui felt very wronged.

Nowadays, although some universities can train engineers, college students can also take the engineering exam when their skills meet the requirements and with the recommendation of their teachers, but not every student can do it. It requires a lot of effort and may not be successful.

"There's nothing I can do about it. I was your teacher after all. If you don't become an engineer before graduating from university, how can I put my face aside when people tell others about it?" Yang Zhenyu said with a smile.

Of course, Yang Zhenyu also said this to scare He Yushui, because he knew that He Yushui was lazy, not lazy in life, but lazy in study. If you don't push her, you will never know where her limit is.

Besides, Yang Zhenyu didn’t really think that he had to pass the engineering exam after graduating from university. After all, there were not many students who passed the engineering exam before graduation in the country.

"Hey, Brother Zhenyu, next time can you wait until I finish eating before talking about this?" He Yushui said with a sigh.

"Why?" Yang Zhenyu asked curiously.

"Now even this big crab doesn't taste good to me." He Yushui said with a bitter face.

"Ha ha……"

A foodie is indeed a foodie.

"You've got a bright future. When you graduate from college, you can buy whatever you want to eat." Yang Zhenyu smiled and then glared at He Yushui.

"Hmph, that food isn't as delicious as my brother's." He Yushui said, turning his head away.
