Chapter 285 College Students
For soldiers like him who came from the countryside, none of them went to school. Their families could only afford to send him to primary school, and after he graduated from primary school, they couldn't afford to send him anymore.
For people like them, having a high school diploma is already considered a very high level of education.
The reason their political commissar was able to become a political commissar at such a young age is not only because of his own strong abilities, but also because he graduated from a proper military academy, specifically the top military academy.
Xu Xu smiled and said, "Yes, I graduated from Peking University."
Upon hearing this, Division Commander Zhou was somewhat surprised and glanced at Xu Sui a few more times.
Beijing University?
He only knew that Xu Sui was a college student, but he didn't know that she was from Peking University.
This university is no ordinary university.
Others who knew about it were also stunned, their eating motions instantly halting as they all looked at Xu Sui.
"...Is it...the Peking University we're thinking of?" Yang Yun was stunned for a long time before he reacted and asked subconsciously.
Although she didn't go to university, she at least has a junior high school education, worked in a cultural troupe, and is now the deputy director of a nursery.
Of course, I know what Kyoto University means; it's one of the top universities in the country.
Those who are able to get into that university are basically the top students in their respective regions, and some places may not even produce a single Peking University student for many years.
These days, college students are already a rarity, and those from prestigious universities are the cream of the crop.
Yang Yun knew that Xu Sui had been admitted to university, but she didn't expect that the university she was admitted to was so extraordinary.
If those people from the former performing arts troupe knew that Xu Sui is now a university student at Peking University, they would probably be even more surprised than she is.
Xu Sui nodded and urged everyone to continue eating.
"Eat your food, or it'll get cold."
Zheng Wu gave Xu Sui a thumbs up, then raised a glass of wine to her and downed it in one gulp.
"Sister-in-law, you are amazing! You got into such a prestigious university."
"Indeed, capable people are best matched with other capable people."
The others smiled and nodded, "That's absolutely right, your wife and the political commissar are a perfect match."
With such an impressive academic background, there are only a handful in the entire military.
In this day and age, getting into university can truly change your destiny; those people have real, tangible skills.
Yang Yun lowered his head and ate the food in his bowl, glancing at Xu Sui from time to time. He felt a mix of emotions, unable to quite describe what he was feeling.
But then she thought about it again. She was now the wife of a division commander and the deputy director of the nursery in the army. Although the man she married was a bit older, he was a kind person.
Countless people outside envy her good life now.
At least it's much better than some of my former colleagues in the performing arts troupe who, after retiring, just married any man they could find.
With that thought in mind, Yang Yun stopped thinking about Xu Sui.
……
After the meal, people gradually went home.
As night deepened, it wasn't long before all those people had left.
Leave the table in a mess and clean it up.
Xu Sui went to Du Mei and Old Lady Qin's house, and the three of them sat down.
The door was closed, and the curtains were drawn.
"Xiaomei, did you see anyone you like tonight? If so, tell your sister-in-law, and she'll have your cousin ask them what they think. If it's okay, we'll arrange a meeting between you two."
Grandma Qin also looked at Du Mei, "Yes, who have you taken a fancy to?"
Those young people today were indeed quite good; they had thick eyebrows, big eyes, were tall, and were also very polite.
Especially Zheng Wu, who is the deputy battalion commander, the highest-ranking among those young people. If they get married, they can immediately stay in the army and live with their spouses after submitting a marriage application and getting a house.
Du Mei's cheeks flushed slightly, and she unconsciously lowered her head, fidgeting with the hem of her clothes.
"I...I think Battalion Commander Zheng is quite good."
To be honest, Zheng Wu's appearance wasn't the most outstanding among those people.
Company Commander Yu was the most outstanding in appearance; he was the one you could spot at a glance.
But Grandma said that Battalion Commander Zheng just met the criteria for family members to accompany him to the military.
She didn't want to just marry any man and go to his hometown.
She just wanted to stay in the military, in the family compound, and with her sister-in-law and grandmother.
Looks are secondary; marriage depends on the man's conditions. She came from a poor rural background and never wants to go back to the countryside to continue living a hard life.
Upon hearing this, Xu Sui and Grandma Qin exchanged a glance and agreed that Zheng Wu was a good person.
"Alright, I'll have your cousin ask them what they think. If it's okay, we'll arrange for you two to meet."
Back in the room.
Xu Sui closed the door.
Qin Yunzhou was sitting on the edge of the bed reading a book. When he saw her come in, he put the book down and asked, "So, Xiaomei, who have you taken a fancy to?"
"Xiaomei has taken a liking to Battalion Commander Zheng. Tomorrow, could you ask him what he thinks?" Xu Sui sat in front of the dressing table, gently combing her jet-black, glossy hair.
Qin Yunzhou rolled off the bed, walked behind Xu Sui, and looked at his still beautiful wife in the mirror.
I couldn't resist walking over, standing behind her, taking the comb from her hand, and gently combing her hair.
"Okay, I'll ask about it tomorrow."
He saw it all during dinner tonight.
The way Commander Zhou and everyone else looked at Xu Sui was different; it was the way they looked at a talent, a treasure.
It seems that he will not only have to work harder for his child, but also for his outstanding wife.
Otherwise, what if people say he's not good enough for his wife?
Suddenly, the pressure on Qin Yunzhou increased considerably.
If he didn't dislike smoking, he would have liked to smoke a few cigarettes to relieve the pressure in his heart.
Xu Sui let Qin Yunzhou comb her hair, completely unaware that this man was planning to work himself to the bone again.
"By the way, I have to go to work soon. Yan Yan and Yao Yao are old enough to go to school, so let's take them to school."
Qin Yunzhou paused for a moment. "Yes, I arranged this a few days ago. I'll send them to first grade next Monday."
"The military primary school is located near the family compound, and some of the teachers who teach the children are family members of the residents, so it's not a big problem."
The only downside is that the family members are not very well-educated; apart from one person with a high school diploma, the others only have a junior high school diploma.
However, that should be enough to teach elementary school.
There are junior high schools in the military. The teachers there all have high school diplomas, and one of them has a university degree.
If the children study here, they can continue their junior high school education.
The only unsuitable option is high school.
There really aren't any good teachers in the high schools within the military.
If their children were mediocre, Qin Yunzhou wouldn't pay much attention to these schools, but their two children were anything but mediocre; in fact, they were quite talented.
It's fine for the two children to study here until junior high, but it wouldn't be appropriate to let them study here until high school.
