Chapter 51 Choosing a College Major
Zhang Shiqi's previous bet with Li Changhe was not entirely based on gambling.
But it was already August, and the enrollment plans from all over the country had already been reported, so the enrollment season had passed.
To be honest, even if it is to be changed, he thinks it will most likely be changed next year. He never expected that the higher-ups would be so bold as to change it directly when there are only a few months left this year.
Winter college entrance examination enrollment is unheard of!
"This is considered a win. If the policy is changed one day and houses can be freely bought and sold, I will sell this yard to you."
"But then again, if you can't come up with the money when the time comes, don't blame me for not selling it."
Zhang Shiqi was also a straightforward person and did not regret it.
Li Changhe smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, as long as you don't ask for too much, I will definitely pay for it."
He has already sent the manuscript to the People's Literature Publishing House, but he has not received any payment or settlement yet.
Because the manuscript has to wait for publication in the People's Literature magazine, and it also needs to be calibrated by the publishing house.
Li Changhe was not in a hurry. After all, including the royalties from publishing houses and magazines, he had a minimum savings of 4,000 yuan.
Li Changhe didn’t know in which month of 80 the policy was issued, but it was certain that house buying and selling was allowed in 80.
In more than two years, Li Changhe could save up ten thousand yuan just by writing articles.
What's more, Li Changhe has bigger plans in mind.
If it is done, a millionaire's fortune will be nothing.
"You look down on me, what do I need from you?"
Hearing Li Changhe's suggestion, Old Man Zhang couldn't help but puff out his beard and glare and said.
When two people get along, there is no sense of age difference between them. In this era, this is considered unusual.
"Okay, get up and stop occupying my chair."
Old man Zhang pushed Li Changhe away from the recliner, and then he lay down on it comfortably.
"You are going to take the college entrance examination, where do you plan to take it?"
"It's getting cold. I'll have to put a cushion on the recliner later."
"I think there are only a few schools in Beijing, so I'll try Peking University. I think Peking University is pretty good."
Li Changhe said lightly.
To be honest, this sentence was said a little too old, and the old man next to it probably can't understand the style of this sentence.
"You are such a boaster, Peking University is OK, but that's the Imperial University of Peking."
"If you can really get into Peking University, I will give you something good."
Zhang Shiqi looked at Li Changhe and said with disdain.
Li Changhe sighed: "Uncle, don't be like this"
"You keep getting mad at me like this. I'm afraid one day you'll lose so much that your coffin will fall apart."
I'm a fucking cheater, can you compare with me?
Li Changhe sighed silently in his heart.
"Don't worry about it. If you really get into Peking University, you would be admitted to the Imperial College. It's nothing for me to give you something."
Zhang Shiqi said nonchalantly,
"Okay, then get ready."
Since the old man wanted to give it to him, Li Changhe certainly wouldn't refuse.
After chatting for a while, Li Changhe saw that it was almost dark, glanced at the time on his watch, and stood up.
"It's time. I'm not going to talk to you anymore. I'm going to pick up my date."
Afterwards, Li Changhe rode his bicycle all the way to Union Hospital at lightning speed.
After picking up Zhu Lin, the two of them went to Quanjude on the way. Of course, they haven't changed their name back to Quanjude yet, but are called Beijing Roast Duck Restaurant.
The two people didn't eat there, but spent 16 yuan to take two away.
These days, Quanjude's roast duck costs 8-10 yuan each, no ticket is required, and if it's too expensive, you can buy half a duck.
Li Changhe had the money, so he bought two ducks, one for each family. He also chose to take the duck bones back home to make duck soup.
When I got home, it was already past six o'clock, and Shen Yuxiu had actually already prepared dinner.
"You bought a roast duck without telling me, and I already cooked the dish."
Shen Yuxiu said to Li Changhe angrily.
Li Changhe waved his hand nonchalantly: "It's okay, Mom. It's cold now. The food won't go bad if left overnight. We can eat the same thing tomorrow morning." "Besides, at most we can have two dishes in the evening. The few dishes you cooked will be eaten up in no time."
Li Changhe's whereabouts have been uncertain recently. Whenever she comes back and Li Changhe is not at home, she usually cooks less because Li Changhe is most likely eating out.
"It's okay, just treat it as a snack today, let's eat slowly."
Li Lishan was sitting there at this time, speaking slowly.
"You are the only one who can be a good person."
Shen Yuxiu complained to Li Lishan, then went into the kitchen, found a plate, and placed the divided roast duck on it.
After the family finished eating, Li Lishan looked at Li Changhe and asked gently.
"Changhe, have you decided to apply to Peking University?"
"Correct!"
Li Changhe nodded.
"I think you shouldn't be so determined. You can apply to more schools when you apply for college."
"At the very least, apply to an industrial college."
Shen Yuxiu reminded gently.
Both of them work at an industrial college, so if they apply to the college, they will have a say in getting admitted.
"No, I'll apply to Peking University"
Li Changhe said seriously.
For him, Peking University was different from other schools. If he failed to get into Peking University, it didn’t matter to him going to other schools. Anyway, he could get the status of a cadre and then go to Bolang in the 1980s.
But if he went to Peking University, Li Changhe would have another choice, a choice to perfectly transform his past life memories.
He has no filter for Peking University, but in this era, Li Changhe really needs the Peking University brand to support his next plan.
"Well, Peking University is Peking University. I don't think he is interested in science and engineering, so I'm afraid he has no intention of doing research."
"I checked the list of Peking University's current departments that you asked me to find. You want to study liberal arts, but there aren't many options."
"The most suitable ones are the Chinese Department, followed by the Philosophy Department and the History Department."
"Have you decided which one you want to apply for?"
Li Lishan specifically asked his son about the situation at Peking University today, which can be regarded as an early screening.
"Of course, Changhe will apply to the Chinese Department."
"I've already written an article about this and published it in a magazine, so why would I choose anything else?"
"It's just that the Writers Association hasn't been restored yet, otherwise I think you would definitely be able to join the Writers Association."
Shen Yuxiu said as a matter of course that people like them still have a filter for intellectuals.
"I don't want to apply for the Chinese Department. I remember there is an Economics Department at Peking University."
Li Changhe asked his father Li Lishan seriously.
"Department of Economics?"
Li Lishan looked at his son in surprise. He never expected that Li Changhe would apply to the Economics Department.
"There is an economics department, but this year it seems they only have one major, which is political economy. Are you sure you want to take this?"
Li Lishan was a little hesitant. The Department of Economics used to be the Department of Business.
Among the four classes of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, merchants are at the bottom!
Not to mention the past few years, those people in the Economics Department were a group that needed key reform. After all, eight out of ten Economics Department students had a background of studying abroad.
Although the environment is better now, who can guarantee that the situation will not recur?
Under such circumstances, Li Changhe actually wanted to apply to the Economics Department. In Li Lishan's opinion, the risk was too great.
"Sure, I'll report this when the time comes!"
After Li Changhe decided on his major, he made up his mind.
For this year's college entrance examination, I applied for the Department of Political Economy at Peking University.
A new day, continue to ask for data! Also, because the two big guys left the new book list, we made it into the top ten. Although it is only the tenth place, it is enough for me to brag. I bow to thank all the brothers. I will definitely add more when the book is put on the shelves!
