The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Although the Zhuang and Wu families are neighbors, they don't interact much. Huang Ling and Song Ying are closer, and are as good as sisters.

In fact, Huang Ling and Song Ying both looked down on Wu Jianguo's wife Zhang A-mei because Zhang A-mei treated Wu Jianguo's daughter and son badly.

Wu Jianguo and Zhang A-mei are a reconstituted family. They each have their own children, and they did not have their own children after marriage.

Zhang A-mei's biological daughter Zhang Min does not have to work, but Wu Jianguo's daughter Wu Shanshan has to do housework.

Huang Ling once saw Wu Shanshan queuing up to buy meat in the cold weather, while Zhang Min was reading at home.

Whenever the Wu family had good things, Zhang A-mei would give them to her biological daughter first, while Wu Shanshan and her younger brother Wu Xiaojun wouldn't even get a scrap.

Even when Wu Shanshan grew up and came to visit relatives, it was Huang Ling who helped take care of her. Zhang A-mei didn't even want to take care of her and even looked down on Wu Shanshan.

Huang Ling and Song Ying are both kind-hearted people. When they see what Wu Shanshan is going through, they always lend a helping hand. Wu Shanshan is very grateful to them.

Wang Gang has a neither-good nor-bad impression of Wu Shanshan, and their usual contact is limited to borrowing review materials.

Wang Gang didn't want to get involved in other people's affairs, but Huang Ling was unexpectedly enthusiastic.

"If you want Shanshan to go to a technical secondary school, why not let her study textile? As the child of a cotton mill employee, she can be assigned to the factory after graduation." Huang Ling said to Wu Jianguo.

"There is only one quota for employees' children per family. We have three children, so how can we get enough?" Wu Jianguo said in embarrassment:
"I mean Shanshan has good grades, so it shouldn't be hard for her to find a job in the future, so the quota in the factory is for my younger brothers and sisters."

Huang Ling glanced at Zhang A-mei and instantly understood what she was thinking.

"The spot should be reserved for Xiao Min!" Huang Ling snorted coldly.

Zhang A-mei said calmly, "Shanshan has never been interested in textiles since she was a child. On the contrary, Xiaomin is more talented."

Huang Ling was getting angry, and Wang Gang interrupted her, "Uncle Wu, I think the cotton mill has not been doing well recently, and there may be changes in the future. If Shanshan wants to go to a technical secondary school, it would be best for her to choose accounting as her major, or go to a medical school."

Wang Gang had a bird's-eye view and knew that with the advent of the market economy, accounting majors would be very popular, and even if he could not enter a public institution, he would not have to worry about not finding a job.

On the contrary, cotton mills will become worse and worse, and studying textiles will definitely be a big pit.

Out of consideration for the fact that they are neighbors, Wang just spoke up to give a reminder.

"Teacher's college is great. You can become a teacher in the future like Teacher Zhuang. It will be stable and respected." Wu Jianguo said happily.

Zhuang Chaoying has been a teacher all his life, so he naturally knows that the wind is changing and does not agree with Wu Shanshan studying at a normal school.

"Old Wu, if you listen to me, you should choose accounting and medical schools as your majors. The educational requirements for teachers will become higher and higher in the future. I have to go out to study and improve my education to become a teacher. Vocational school graduates will definitely not be enough in the future."

Wu Jianguo asked in confusion: "What do you mean, you can't become a teacher after graduating from a normal school?"

Wang Gang explained: "My father didn't mean that. A technical secondary school diploma is too low. After graduation, I can only be a primary school teacher at best. It's even difficult to teach in a primary school in the city.

On the contrary, there are large vacancies in accounting and medical schools, so you won’t have to worry about finding a job in the future.”

Wu Jianguo and Zhang A-mei looked at each other and hesitated for a moment.

To be honest, the two of them had limited knowledge and could not understand what Wang Gang and Zhuang Chaoying said.

"If you study accounting, you can only be a cashier or accountant after graduation. It won't be easy to find a job!" Zhang A-mei said worriedly.

"Studying at a medical school and becoming a nurse is also a job of serving others. My Shanshan has good academic performance, so there is no need for her to do that kind of work."

Wu Jianguo wanted to save some face. The nurses nowadays were not like those in the future. There was basically no division of labor between nurses and care workers. In addition to taking care of patients, they also had to carry urinals and wash bed sheets. The work intensity was very high, the income was not high, and it was very hard.

Wu Jianguo didn't want his daughter to serve others, but as soon as he said this, Zhuang Chaoying and Huang Ling's faces darkened.

"Uncle Wu, my aunt is also a nurse." Wang Gang reminded.

Wu Jianguo and Zhang A-mei reacted and quickly said, "Old Wu is not good at talking. What he meant is that it will not be easy to get into a hospital after graduation even if you study in a medical school." Zhuang Chaoying looked much better and nodded, "It is indeed not easy to get into a hospital. My sister was able to get in after passing many levels of assessment. Hospitals prefer experienced nurses, and fresh graduates are usually assigned to health stations."

Wu Jianguo finally said, "Let Shanshan study at a normal school! It would be nice for her to be a primary school teacher in the future."

Huang Ling interrupted, "I think you should ask Shanshan in advance about this matter to see what major she would like to study."

Zhang A-mei said indifferently: "What does a child know? Old Wu and I will make the decision for her."

Wu Jianguo also said: "There is still time, we can bring it up later."

Wang Gang frowned, feeling that it was inappropriate, but thinking that it was someone else's family matter after all, he did not interrupt.

After Wu Jianguo and Zhang A-mei left, Huang Ling immediately started complaining.

"I don't know what sins Wu Shanshan committed in her previous life to have such a pair of parents."

"Okay! Say less." Zhuang Chaoying was afraid that Wu Jianguo might hear it if he hadn't walked far away.

Huang Ling snorted coldly, "Did I say something wrong? Shanshan obviously has very good grades and skipped two grades in elementary school. She is fully capable of taking the high school entrance exam, but Old Wu insisted that she go to a technical secondary school and come out to earn money early."

Wang Gang advised: "Mom, don't be indignant. Uncle Wu's choice is not wrong. After all, their family is in a tight financial situation. They have to pay tuition for high school, and whether they can get into university is full of uncertainty. It is safer than technical secondary school.

If Shanshan wants to study in the future, she will still have a chance."

Huang Ling sighed and said, "Only by going to college can you change your fate. Why doesn't Old Wu understand?"

Wang Gang smiled and said, "Everyone has different perceptions. Uncle Wu and Aunt Zhang may think that the income of technical secondary school students and college students is about the same, so it is better to study for two more years."

Zhuang Chaoying smiled and said, "Tunan is right. For example, Lin Gong next door is a top student from Jiaotong University, but he only earns a little more than ten yuan a month than ordinary workers. Maybe Old Wu thinks that going to university is useless and there is no need to waste time."

"Zhang A-mei is biased. She only cares about her daughter and doesn't care about Wu Shanshan's future." Huang Ling was still a little indignant.

Wang Gang shook his head and said, "This is normal. What mother wouldn't be nervous about her children? It would be strange if she really cared more about Wu Shanshan than Zhang Min."

"Okay! Don't talk about other people's business. Hualin will come over later. She will bring us some antipyretic medicine from the hospital." Zhuang Chaoying said.

"Hua Lin is thoughtful. I mentioned to her last time that Xiao Ting is weak and prone to catching colds and fevers. She immediately got some antipyretic medicine." Huang Ling forced a smile.

"Pengfei's performance has improved a lot recently, and Hualin is very happy." Zhuang Chaoying said with a smile.

Huang Ling said worriedly, "Pengfei's grades have improved, but he is still in the middle and lower reaches of the class. I don't know if he can keep up when he enters junior high school."

Zhuang Chaoying sighed and said, "Pengfei's foundation is too poor. I will give him more tutoring when I have time. Tunan will take the college entrance examination soon. Don't waste his time."

"Of course." Huang Ling turned to Wang Gang and said, "Son, go and review after you finish your meal. Xiao Ting and the others will ask your dad to help you with your homework."

Wang Gang said: "I have finished my review, I can go into the examination room now."

Zhuang Chaoying urged, "After you finish reviewing, review it again. I heard that the questions in this year's college entrance examination are difficult, so don't take it lightly. By the way, what major do you want to choose?"

Wang Gang said, "I heard that the law major at Fudan University was just reestablished this year."

Zhuang Chaoying hesitated and said, "It has just been rebuilt, so the teaching staff may not be good enough! How about applying to the history department?"

Wang Gang shook his head and said, "I am more interested in law. Besides, as the first generation of students after reconstruction, isn't it interesting?"

Zhuang Chaoying frowned.
