Chapter 302 Sha Zhu prepares to throw a graduation banquet for He Yushui
Behind
The news that Li Feng and He Yushui had been admitted to university gradually spread.

In particular, the fact that Li Feng was admitted to Tsinghua University.

At 7:15 p.m., Sha Zhu returned from the factory. When he learned that his younger sister, He Yushui, had been admitted to the Beijing Broadcasting Institute, he was overjoyed. After all, He Yushui was his own sister, and as her older brother, how could he not be happy that she had been admitted to a university in Beijing?

So Sha Zhu is going to buy some good food and have a nice meal tonight.

After hearing her brother's words, He Yushui said to him somewhat embarrassedly.

"elder brother!".

"Even when Brother Feng got into Tsinghua University, he wasn't this flamboyant!"

"I only got a junior college diploma."

When Sha Zhu heard his sister say that Li Feng had been admitted to Tsinghua University, he was stunned. Sha Zhu immediately found Li Feng, looked at him, and then asked him in surprise.

"Hey bro, you got into Tsinghua University?"

Although Sha Zhu knew that Li Feng was a good student, he never expected that Li Feng would be able to get into one of the best universities in the country. At this moment, he was very surprised by what his sister said.

So he quickly asked Li Feng this question.

Li Feng said with a hint of helplessness.

"That's right!"

"It's Tsinghua University."

"I've said it so many times today."

After confirming that his sister was right, Sha Zhu looked at Li Feng in shock.

"Really?"

"Then you're going to become a high-ranking official, aren't you?"

After all, in Sha Zhu's mind, after going to university, he would definitely have a bright future, and becoming a high-ranking official was not impossible.

Li Feng sighed at this moment.

"I don't aspire to high office; I just want to live a good life."

"Isn't what we all want is a peaceful and stable life?"

At this point, Li Feng didn't mention his plans for university, because he felt that Sha Zhu probably wouldn't understand these things, so it would be better to talk about something more realistic.

At least Sha Zhu can understand these things.

Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu felt that what Li Feng said made a lot of sense, and he nodded to Li Feng.

"Um!".

"You're right!"

"We must make the most of our lives!"

At this moment, Sha Zhu asked Li Feng.

"That's right!"

"Did you tell Dr. Ding about this?"

Li Feng shook his head.

"I got the acceptance letter today, and I plan to call her tomorrow."

Sha Zhu nodded.

"That's good. We should let Dr. Ding know about your college admission as soon as possible."

"By the way! How are things going between you and Dr. Ding?"

"When are you planning to get married?"

He Yushui also curiously came over at this time, and then she followed her brother and asked Li Feng.

"Yes! My brother told me that Dr. Ding is very beautiful."

"When are you bringing it over?"

Li Feng then waved to the two of them.

"She's busy, isn't she? She often has to work the night shift!"

"I reckon she'll have time when she goes to university!"

"I just don't know if she got into university."

He Yushui moved closer to Li Feng and then said to him with a smile.

"Brother Feng!"

"Next time you go to see Dr. Ding, please take me with you."

Sha Zhu was speechless at his sister's behavior. He wondered why his sister had to be such a third wheel.

So Shazhu quickly tugged at his sister and began to persuade her.

"Rain!"

"Wouldn't it be inappropriate for you to be a third wheel?"

He Yushui then realized that her words seemed somewhat inappropriate, so she apologized to Li Feng.

"Brother Feng, I'm so sorry!"

Li Feng simply smiled and waved his hand in response to He Yushui's apology.

"There's nothing to apologize for. I'll bring her to the yard when I have time."

To be honest, Li Feng also hoped that Ding Qiunan would come to the hospital.

However, Ding Qiunan was too busy, often working night shifts and sometimes needing to catch up on sleep during the day, so Li Feng was too embarrassed to ask her to come out.

So in the past, Li Feng would usually arrange to meet Ding Qiunan during his rest time.

If Ding Qiunan also gets into medical school, then she will definitely have time during her holidays.

In that case, I'll be able to meet with Ding Qiunan more often.

This is also a good thing for Li Feng.

Sha Zhu dragged Li Feng to his house, and then Sha Zhu went to get some food.

He Yushui continued to assist Sha Zhu.

He Yushui is becoming more and more skilled at assisting others.

It's amazing how smoothly this brother and sister can cook together.

Li Feng also admired this.

Next.

Sha Zhu has almost finished cooking a whole table of dishes.

Li Feng didn't stand on ceremony at this point; he immediately picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

At this moment, Sha Zhu poured a glass of wine into Li Feng's cup.

"Brother, I'm planning to throw a celebration for Yushui to celebrate his graduation. What do you think?"

"I am also your only younger sister."

Li Feng glanced at Sha Zhu, then couldn't help but ask him a question.

"Do you have that much money?"

"You're even having a graduation banquet?"

After hearing Li Feng's words, Sha Zhu showed off a bit.

"I don't even have the money to host a graduation banquet yet!"

"As for the chef, I'll take care of it."

"Actually, I only need to contribute a little money for groceries and alcohol."

"Brother, let me tell you something."

"I only have one younger sister, and she got into university!"

"I'm happy."

When Sha Zhu got to this point, he drank a glass of wine.

When He Yushui saw her brother and heard what he said, she realized that her brother was actually quite good to her.

After hearing what Sha Zhu said, Li Feng was somewhat surprised by Sha Zhu's current appearance. Was this the Sha Zhu who hadn't gotten involved with Qin Huairu?
If Qin Huairu hadn't interfered, Sha Zhu would have been a good older brother who cared about his younger sister.

of course!

In the original novel, He Yushui, as the younger sister, always cared about her older brother.

Otherwise, He Yushui wouldn't have tried to matchmake Sha Zhu and Yu Haitang.

However, Qin Huairu interfered with Sha Zhu's relationship with Yu Haitang.

As for what happened next, Li Feng was a little confused by some of He Yushui's actions.

Because after Sha Zhu and Lou Xiao'e had He Xiao, He Yushui actually advised Sha Zhu not to abandon Qin Huairu.

This action completely baffled Li Feng. In the original novel, He Yushui, as the aunt, was not close to her nephew and even supported Qin Huairu. This alone left Li Feng dumbfounded.

However, things like those in the original story probably won't happen now.

After all, He Yushui's relationship with the Jia family isn't as good as it used to be. And He Yushui is still angry about what happened with Jia Zhangshi last time.

He Yushui now also dislikes Qin Huairu's son, Banggeng.

He Yushui told me all of these things herself. Actually, He Yushui is also vengeful.

If there's another chance, He Yushui will still have to deal with Bang Geng.

Li Feng told He Yushui that she should hit boys early, otherwise she wouldn't be able to beat them later.

However, Li Feng still approves of Sha Zhu's plan to hold a banquet for his sister's graduation.

At least this is a happy event.

Moreover, in this era, getting into university also meant that He Yushui could become a cadre in the future.

This is the dream of so many people.

In this day and age, getting into university is definitely a win-win situation.

At this moment, Li Feng nodded to Sha Zhu.

"Um!".

"Since you're willing to do it, that's certainly a good thing."

"It is certainly a cause for celebration that Yushui was able to get into university."

"When are you planning to hold the banquet?"

Sha Zhu thought for a moment, then answered Li Feng.

"Let's wait until this Sunday."

Li Feng thought for a moment, then nodded to Sha Zhu and said.

"OK!".

“I can come and help on Sundays too.”

"If it's a wedding during the rainy season, I'll definitely lend a hand."

At this moment, He Yushui asked Li Feng.

"Brother Feng, aren't you going to hold a banquet?"

Upon hearing He Yushui's words, Li Feng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and explained to He Yushui.

"I think I'll pass!"

"I don't have any relatives here."

"As you know, my parents and I were settled here."

He Yushui nodded in understanding.

After finalizing the wedding banquet arrangements for He Yushui, Sha Zhu then asked Li Feng to help He Yushui plan her future path.

Because Sha Zhu knew that Li Feng, now an official, definitely knew more than him.

So Sha Zhu asked Li Feng for advice.

Li Feng did not refuse, and then he spoke directly to He Yushui.

"Once you get into university, you should not only study hard, but it would be best if you could join an organization."

"At the very least, we should have a backup plan."

"Then it's about participating in various activities within the organization, and ideally winning awards or something like that."

"With these excellent experiences, the next step is crucial."

When Li Feng got to this point, a serious look appeared on his face.

When Sha Zhu and He Yushui heard Li Feng describe the situation as so serious, they couldn't help but swallow hard.

At this moment, Li Feng spoke earnestly to the two of them.

"After graduation, it's time for job assignments. So, who decides who gets to decide on these assignments?"

"It must be the vice principal or principal in charge of this area!"

"Whether rainwater can be distributed locally in the future depends on the schools and the government."

Li Feng said this because he knew of a document that stated that graduates from key national universities, plus those drawn from departments and localities, would be allocated by the state to ensure the needs of key construction projects, with appropriate retention benefits given to the locations where the universities were located.

For graduates of regular institutions of higher learning under the supervision of department heads, the state allocates about 40% for job placement. The remaining graduates are, in principle, assigned by the department in charge of the university.

Graduates from local colleges and universities were also allocated through a percentage system. The state's percentage was generally 40%. Graduates from junior colleges and colleges run by prefectures or counties were all allocated by the local government. This allocation method continued until 1965, but the percentages of the percentages allocated and retained varied from year to year.

So no matter what, the school still has a certain number of places available.

Since it's difficult to secure a place in the government, the only option is to try for a spot in a school.

After all, in government agencies, it's very difficult to find the right person, especially if you don't know them at all, so there's no reason for them to help you.

But it's different at school.

After all, a school is a small society, and if you pay attention, you will definitely come into contact with the vice principal in charge of this area.

So this makes things much simpler.

After listening to Li Feng's words, Sha Zhu and He Yushui realized that there were so many twists and turns involved.

Moreover, they have no access to documents like these at all.

Li Feng knew these things; he learned them from the internet in his later life.

That's how Li Feng knew all this.

At this moment, Sha Zhu was the first to thank Li Feng.

"Brother Li Feng!"

"Thanks to you, we know so much."

"Otherwise, we would definitely still be foolishly waiting at home."

Li Feng simply smiled and said something in response to Sha Zhu's thanks.

"What are you thanking me for?"

"Don't you usually treat me to meals?"

"It's nothing for me to help with this small favor."

Sha Zhu shook his head at Li Feng at this moment.

"This has already helped me and the rain a lot."

"I have absolutely no idea about the intricacies of this matter. If it were something that happened in a steel rolling mill, I could understand a little bit, but if it were something that happened in a university, I would be completely clueless."

"Brother Li Feng, now that you're in a leadership position, you're thinking more comprehensively."

"Come!".

"I'd like to propose a toast to you."

Sha Zhu then raised his glass, preparing to toast Li Feng.

Li Feng simply nodded in agreement, and like Sha Zhu, he raised his glass.

The two smiled at each other and then drank the cup together.

Later, Sha Zhu started drinking with Li Feng and talking about the future.

Sha Zhu's ideal is very simple: to have a big, fat son with Wen Hui. This is probably the obsession of most men in this era.

In this era, most people still prefer sons.

Although women rose to prominence in later generations, most still preferred to have sons.

Li Feng could understand Sha Zhu's current goals.

As for Li Feng, what he wants to do right now is probably to develop the technology he has acquired, and then have a child or two, just like Sha Zhu's ideal.

This is probably what Chinese people consider the most fulfilling life.

Li Feng drank very late that night; he probably didn't return to his room until almost midnight.

At this moment, Li Feng felt dizzy, so he didn't fill the tub with water to take a bath this time.

He fell into a deep sleep due to dizziness.

Around 3 a.m.

Li Feng felt his throat was dry.

So he got up and went to get some water.

After Li Feng finished drinking the water, he realized that his whole body felt sticky.

After sitting for a while, Li Feng went directly to the pool outside the door, filled a bucket with cold water, and took a cold shower.

After Li Feng finished taking a cold shower, he felt much more comfortable.

Moreover, Li Feng is now much more sober.

But it's almost four o'clock now.
