Lin Yan still signed up for the college entrance examination this year. After discussions among everyone in the research institute, it was decided that Lin Yan would directly enroll in a military academy after the college entrance examination.
Although her student status would remain with the school, she would continue to conduct research with the institute. Once a new research project was completed, she would return to school to continue her studies.
The director of the institute had already reported this matter to the leaders of the military region. Once Lin Yan officially entered the military academy, she would be directly enlisted and granted military rank.
"Host, are you sure you want to choose this path?" the system asked, confused. The host clearly cherished freedom, so why choose to join the military? After all, the military had very strict regulations and many constraints.
"This path is safer and more secure." Having been involved in business for two lifetimes, she no longer wanted to expend energy and effort on making money and managing affairs.
She felt that by relying on the country, she wouldn't have to worry about anything and could focus solely on her research. This not only aligned perfectly with the original host's personality but also allowed her to rest properly.
If she worked so hard to enter the business world and make money in every mission, wouldn't that be just a change of name for the same old thing?
She wanted to experience various different lives, to truly become someone else and live another kind of life.
"Life in the research institute is quite good. As long as I am important enough, the country will resolve all my worries for me," Lin Yan said with a smile, opening the book in front of her.
"Besides, haven't my tasks been almost completed?"
The system could not refute this. From the moment the research institute informed Lin Yan that she would be granted military rank if she passed the military academy entrance exam, the progress bar for the mission of changing the original host's fate reached its end.
The original host's fate had already changed. Even with the male lead's immense influence, he could not contend with the military. Therefore, the original host would not die in a mysterious car accident, nor would she remarry the male lead.
In fact, when she received the news of her enlistment, that mission had already been completed. This made Lin Yan suspect whether the original host's death was truly a simple car accident.
It seemed more likely that the car accident was deliberate, but she didn't know if the perpetrator was the male lead or his mistress.
However, it was impossible to determine now. She and the male lead would have no further intersection.
The weather grew colder, and the college entrance examination was fast approaching.
The Wu family had six people participating in the college entrance examination this year, the most among any family except for the educated youths.
Not only were the Wu family's sons and daughters taking the exam, but their daughters-in-law were also participating.
Someone advised Er Jin and the others, "Your daughters-in-law are already married, why do they still need to take the college entrance exam? Isn't it better to stay home and take care of the children?"
Yes, after Lin Yan left, her cousins' wives gradually became pregnant. However, precisely because they were pregnant, their families did not let them do heavy work, and they began to study with their family members.
Every time Lin Yan wrote, she urged her cousins' husbands and brothers to study diligently, so the Wu family placed great importance on it. Thus, they studied for two hours every evening.
"We can help look after the children! Don't students want to take the college entrance exam?" Er Jin did not directly respond to the question.
The daughters-in-law were also part of their family. If they could get into university, it would bring honor to their household!
"If the younger ones weren't so small, I would have let them take the exam too. Alas! I don't know if there will be a college entrance examination after this year," Si Jin also said.
From Yan Yan's example, they all realized the importance of learning. Yan Yan was now in the military research institute and received excellent treatment. A few days ago, she had sent Xiu Xiu several fabric coupons, saying that Xiu Xiu was getting older and needed to wear prettier clothes!
They also sent Lin Yan several sweaters knitted with rabbit wool, as the college entrance examination was in December, and it was better to wear warmer clothes.
They had prepared thick clothes for the family members who were taking the college entrance examination. They definitely couldn't let them freeze.
"Aren't you afraid that once they go to university, they'll have wandering hearts?" the woman who spoke said worriedly.
"What wandering hearts could they have! I believe in their feelings!"
It was less that they believed in the feelings between their sons and daughters-in-law, and more that they believed their own sons would pass the exam.
Their sons had started studying earlier than their daughters-in-law and had never given up on learning, so they would definitely perform better than their daughters-in-law.
It would be nice for the couple to attend university together. Since Yan Yan was taking the college entrance examination this year, it proved that this was truly a good thing. If their family could produce several university students, it would be an incredible stroke of luck!
Since life in the brigade improved, some of the educated youths had married members of the brigade. All the educated youths had registered for this college entrance examination.
However, many of the families of married educated youths were unwilling to let them take the exam, fearing that if they passed, they would never return.
But the brigade leader persuaded them. He called all the families who had married educated youths to the brigade headquarters.
Once everyone saw that all those who had come were families who had married educated youths, they immediately understood the reason why the leader had summoned them.
"As everyone knows, the college entrance examination has reopened, and the educated youths have all registered. This is their hope of returning to the city, so the college entrance examination is particularly important to them."
"I also know that everyone is worried they will return to the city and never come back. But you must also trust your judgment. When you agreed to their marriages, you had already assessed their character."
"Even if you were wrong in your judgment, can you stop them now if you refuse to let them go? They are living people, and their legs are not tied. If they truly want to leave, they will find a way!"
"It's better to let them take the college entrance exam. If they pass, you can find them at their universities. If they don't pass, they will come back and continue their lives. This way, they will also be grateful to you!"
"If your children are capable, accompany them to take the exam. If they all pass, then you can all go to school together!"
The brigade leader said a lot. If the people in the brigade truly prevented the educated youths from taking the college entrance examination, then these marriages might truly turn into enmities.
"Our children have only graduated from primary school, how can they take the exam!" one person complained.
"Who told you not to let your child study more! My son has graduated from junior high, he definitely has a chance. If he can pass the exam, it will be an honor to our family!" another woman said.
"Learning is still good. If he can really get into university, then my Nan Nan can also go to the city and enjoy a good life!"
"So, it's important to go to school. Once you get into university, you won't have to worry anymore!"
Because of this college entrance examination, everyone placed more importance on learning. Those students who did not perform well in the exams suffered. They endured quite a few "loving touches" from their parents, who hoped their children would become dragons!
The Wu family became popular after that small meeting. Everyone knew that they had many children studying and that their grades were quite good. So, many people came to seek advice.
The visitors to the Wu family were quite numerous, which annoyed the Wu family. Later, they went directly to the brigade headquarters and set up a simple study room, allowing everyone to come and study and have their questions answered uniformly.
This not only facilitated mutual exchange of problems but also fostered a stronger learning atmosphere!
