Of course, getting into university would be even more extraordinary. Wouldn't she be able to find a stable job in Dingyuan County?
If luck is on her side, she might even settle her lifelong matters.
Qiuxia is 27 this year, so even with six years of middle and high school, finishing university before 40 isn't impossible. Caihua wouldn't be over 35; considering they might live to 60, it's worth it, right?
However, this idea is not very realistic for them. Perhaps after finishing middle school, they would choose to attend a vocational school instead. University? Not everyone can pass the entrance exams. At their age, the prime time for learning has passed. Honestly, just graduating from middle school is pretty good. If they can't get into high school, attending a vocational school will still qualify them for factory jobs, which is better than working as a farmer in the countryside.
Back then, vocational school graduates were guaranteed a secure job.
