Traveling through time with spatial abilities, the scientific research genius is a little sweet.

Chapter 19 Wang Mazi Acts Like a Scoundrel?
Su Nuannuan nodded.

This is certainly true; university education in the 60s was subsidized. This was because the country was desperately short of talent at that time.

Seeing her older brother deep in thought, Su Nuannuan knew she was halfway there; the rest required persuasion from her parents.

That evening, as they were finishing dinner, Su Nuannuan glanced at her older brother, who wasn't planning to speak, and then prepared to speak herself.

"Dad, Mom, there's something I want to tell you."

Since Su Nuannuan started earning money for her family and was admitted to a university in Beijing, her words have begun to be taken seriously.

"Let my three older brothers take the college entrance exam next year too!"

Su Nuannuan's words immediately stunned everyone.

Su Erqiang looked completely bewildered. Su Sanquan glanced at Su Daliang, who lowered his head in shame.

Mr. and Mrs. Su exchanged a glance, their faces showing distress. It wasn't that they didn't want their son to go to university, but the cost was too high, and they worried they couldn't afford it.

Su Nuannuan immediately understood her parents' predicament and began to explain the benefits of going to university to them.

"Dad, Mom, you don't know, nowadays not only is university tuition completely free, but students also receive a monthly living allowance of 20 yuan. Most importantly, they are guaranteed job placement after graduation, and their salaries are higher than those of factory workers in the county town!"

Rural areas lacked access to information, so they were completely unaware of information that was now widely known to later generations. This led them to be afraid to spend money and dare not do anything.

The Su family's eyes widened upon hearing this. The Su parents, who had been worried about how much money they would have to give their youngest daughter each month after she went to university, were immediately relieved.

Father Su glanced at the three brothers, each with a different expression, and finally made his decision.

"Take the exam! All three of you will take the exam!"

Since tuition was waived and there was a monthly subsidy of 20 yuan, Su Jianjun had no more worries. He had always regretted not being able to send his three brothers to college back then, so now that he had the opportunity, he naturally seized it.

There's one more thing Su Nuannuan didn't mention: next year is the best time for them to take the university entrance exam. As long as their major doesn't require more than four years of study, they can graduate smoothly. If they miss this opportunity, they'll have to wait another ten years. Therefore, a university degree from 60 is extremely valuable.

While persuading her eldest brother to take the college entrance exam, Su Nuannuan also wanted her second and third brothers to do the same. Because if they didn't study, they would only be able to work in the fields. After a long day's work, they wouldn't earn many work points, and if they slacked off even slightly, they would be scolded for slowing down production.

She didn't want her three brothers, who were in the prime of their youth, to be worn out by farm work.

Su Erqiang and Su Sanquan reacted the most strongly to Su Jianjun's words. Both of them disliked studying; the former couldn't learn, and the latter didn't want to.

Su Nuannuan glanced at her second brother and thought about how he was much more robust than her eldest and third brothers.

"Second brother, you can actually take the military academy entrance exam. Next year you can take the special recruitment exam for military academies. The academic score will be much lower than the regular college entrance exam, and you can become an officer directly after graduation."

Upon hearing Su Nuannuan's words, Su Erqiang's eyes lit up. He had long wanted to join the army, but Su Jianjun had been preventing him from doing so because he was too young.

"Yes, Nuannuan, you're right. I'll take the military academy entrance exam next year."

After Su Erqiang made the final decision, everyone in the Su family turned their attention to Su Daliang and Su Sanquan.

Su Daliang took a deep breath, looked at his parents, and said solemnly.

"Dad, Mom, I want to go to university next year too!"

After speaking his mind, Su Daliang felt much more relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face.

Su's parents knew very well how much Su Daliang loved studying back then, and how disappointed he was to not be able to take the college entrance examination. Fortunately, he still had a chance now.

Finally, everyone's attention focused on Su Sanquan.

Su Sanquan felt a little uncomfortable being stared at and shifted his body slightly.

"Watch what I do?"

Su Erqiang grabbed Su Sanquan's neck and asked directly.

"Sanquan, do you want to take the college entrance exam next year?"

Su Sanquan shook his head.

"I don't want to. I don't like studying. Going to university means studying all the time, which is too annoying. You and your older brother can go."

Su Sanquan didn't know why, but he just didn't like studying. Although he was smart, he lost interest whenever it involved anything related to learning. "You can't spend your whole life farming in the village, can you?"

Su Jianjun was very disappointed in his unambitious son, but he couldn't do anything about it.

Su Sanquan shook his head.

“It’s impossible to farm forever. In the future, I want to be like my eldest and second eldest sisters, find someone rich and powerful, she will go out to earn money to support the family, and I will stay at home to do the laundry and cook.”

"puff!"

Su Nuannuan couldn't help herself and spat out the water she had just drunk, luckily there was no one directly in front of her.

It has to be said that her third brother's ideas were really ahead of their time.

Su Daliang handed Su Nuannuan a handkerchief and wiped her mouth.

Su Jianjun's face turned red with anger, and his finger trembled as he pointed at Su Sanquan.

"How could I have given birth to such a wretched little brat!"

Su's mother couldn't stop smiling. She still remembered the envious look in Su Sanquan's eyes when her eldest and second daughters got married.

Su Nuannuan was surprised that her mother had no objection to Su Sanquan's idea.

"Alright, how the children want to live their future is their business, so don't worry about it so much. It's getting late, go back to sleep."

Su's mother pushed Su Jianjun back into the bedroom and waved to the children.

"Third brother, you're awesome!"

Su Nuannuan gave Su Sanquan a thumbs up in admiration.

Su Erqiang looked at him with disdain.

"Sanquan, you're so unmanly! How can you serve women and do laundry and cooking?"

Su Nuannuan looked at her second brother, whose hair hadn't even fully grown yet, and who kept calling her "woman," and finally couldn't help but twitch her lips.

It seems that the eldest brother is the most normal of the three brothers.

Su Daliang and Su Nuannuan exchanged a glance and then quietly returned to their bedroom.

The next day, someone knocked on the Su family's door. It was Zhou Yongsheng, the man who spoke up for his father on the day Wang Mazi caused trouble.

Zhou Yongsheng saw Su Nuannuan and greeted her with a smile. He had always thought the Su family had produced a lazy and good-for-nothing girl, but he never expected her to be a literary genius who had been admitted to a university in Beijing through the college entrance examination.

"Nuan Nuan, you're up so early today."

Su Nuannuan was speechless. If she didn't know the other person didn't mean anything by it, she would have thought he was mocking her.

"Ah, yes. Uncle Yongsheng, are you here to see my dad?"

When people come to the Su family, nine out of ten are looking for Su Jianjun, the team leader, which is why Su Nuannuan asked such a question.

Zhou Yongsheng nodded, his voice somewhat anxious.

"Where's your dad? Call him out right now, something terrible has happened!"

Su Nuannuan was curious, and her gossip instincts were stirring, so she quickly called out Su Jianjun.

"Shengzi, what happened?"

When Zhou Yongsheng saw Su Jianjun come out, he grabbed him and pulled him outside, talking as they walked.

"The police arrested Wang Mazi; someone reported him for indecent assault!"

"What! Wang Mazi is being a pervert? Isn't he impotent?"

Su Jianjun's words stunned everyone present.
