I'm back in 1990

Chapter 1055: You called us Mom

The online sensation "1990, I'm Back," a heartfelt work by author Four Seasons Leeks, is available on Cola Novels.

"What if she absolutely refuses to go?" Zeng Xia suddenly thought of another possibility.

Huang Xiaochuan was full of confidence: "Don't worry, I'll talk to her. I'll tell her that the military is very interesting. You can fire real guns and go abroad with warships. She'll look especially beautiful in a white military uniform. She's still a child after all, so it'll work if I coax her a little."

No sooner had he finished speaking than August, who was being held in his arms, suddenly let out a very loud fart.

All three of them were stunned for a moment, and then they all burst into laughter at the same time.

The little guy was initially confused as he watched the three adults laughing so hard they were doubled over, but then he started laughing along. Seeing the little guy's adorable expression, the three adults laughed even harder.

After Zeng Xia left, Yu Xiang handed August over to the postpartum nanny. Now that she was over forty, her energy was not as good as before. Taking care of a child was such an energy-consuming task that she definitely couldn't handle it alone, so August was taken care of by the postpartum nanny most of the time.

After the couple returned to their room, Yu Xiang asked the man, "Do you really think Liu Jin is suitable for the army?"

Huang Xiaochuan lifted the covers and got into bed: "There's no such thing as suitable or unsuitable. Rather than letting her waste her days at home, it's better to let her train in the army. The army is the kind of place where people can find themselves, and that way she can find her own direction."

After getting into bed, Huang Xiaochuan casually picked up a book from the bedside table; reading for a while every night was his habit.

As soon as he got the book, he analyzed, "Liu Jin is different from Xuan Xuan. She has been spoiled since she was a child, and her self-control is particularly poor. The main reason why her grades are not good is because she lacks self-control. Therefore, we should send her to the army. Under strong discipline, she can learn to adapt to the rules and develop a certain degree of self-control."

The next day, Huang Xiaochuan contacted his older brother Huang Dahai by phone and told him his idea.

Huang Dahai's side was of course fine. He wholeheartedly supported sending his niece Liu Jin to join the army, so there were no obstacles to Liu Jin's enlistment. Liu Jin's health was definitely not a problem, and there would be no problem with the political review. Everything would fall into place naturally.

Time flies, and it's already the end of June. The results are out.

Liu Jin scored 316 points, more than 50 points higher than the mock exam. Zeng Xia looked at the score on the computer screen, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.

Liu Jin acted as if it were the most natural thing in the world, showing absolutely no remorse for not doing well on the test.

She was even a little smug: "I actually got so many points on the test?"

Hearing this, Zeng Xia almost died of anger: "You have the nerve to be proud with a score of just over 300? What kind of school can you get into with that score? Tell me!"

Liu Jin shrank his neck and muttered softly, "It's a vocational college, it's not like I won't be able to go to school."

Zeng Xia was so angry she almost twisted her nose; she truly hadn't expected her daughter to have such a good attitude.

In retrospect, sending her to join the army was the right decision.

Soon, everyone in the family knew about Liu Jin's score. For Huang Xiaochuan, this was expected, and he was neither surprised nor frightened.

Since the elders had already tacitly agreed that Liu Jin was going to join the army, everything seemed so calm. No one showed any concern about the score. Liu Jin himself was always carefree and didn't sense anything was wrong.

To be honest, Huo Miao was initially reluctant to send his daughter to join the army. In his opinion, it was unnecessary. So what if she didn't do well in her studies? Anyway, his daughter would have no worries about food and clothing in the future. At worst, he could work a few more years to earn enough wealth for her to live on for several lifetimes.

Later, after his brother-in-law had a deep talk with him, he also realized that his idea was somewhat presumptuous and that sending his daughter to the army for training was not a bad thing.

Every year when the college entrance examination results are released, some are happy and some are sad. Compared to Liu Jin's score of over 300, Mi Guo's score of 477 is quite good.

Maowa went to Los Angeles, USA to study last fall, so he didn't take the college entrance examination with Miguo.

After the results came out, Cheng Jing burst into tears of joy.

"Mom, don't cry!" Seeing her mother's tears, Miguo's eyes also reddened.

"I didn't cry, I was happy." Cheng Jing wiped her eyes.

At this moment, Huang Erhe chimed in, "That's right, this is a happy occasion, why cry! We should celebrate!"

Just as the family was talking together, the phone calls from Cheng's sisters and brothers started coming in one after another.

Cheng Jing shared her joy with her brothers and sisters.

Huang Erhe said to his stepdaughter, "I need to call your third uncle too." As he spoke, he took out his phone and called his younger brother, Huang Xiaochuan.

Even Mao Wa, who lives far away in the United States, called back.

"Brother, why didn't you come back?" Migo thought that there should be a summer vacation in America too.

Mao Wa explained the reason on the phone: "Summer vacation here is not like ours in China, which is continuous. Summer vacation here is composed of several holidays, and each holiday is not very long. Besides, round-trip airfare would cost tens of thousands of yuan, which would be a waste of money."

Migo remained silent. She knew that this amount of money was not a problem for her family at all; the problem was that her brother simply did not want to come back.

She didn't want to continue the conversation on this topic, and besides, it wasn't the main topic of their call; today's topic was college application.

"I checked for you. You can try applying to East China Normal University if you score 477. Haven't you always wanted to be a teacher?" Maowa encouraged Miguo to apply to East China Normal University.

Miguo had the same thought, but she was a little worried: "Brother, is it a bit risky for me to get into East China Normal University with this score?"

"It's a bit uncertain, but there's still a chance. You should discuss it with your parents again and hear their opinions."

Miguo exclaimed in surprise, "Brother, you called us Mom!"

Maowa was taken aback for a moment: "Really?"

"Yes, I heard it clearly."

"Alright, alright, international calls are expensive. It's nothing, I'll hang up now. I'll call you back when I have time," Maowa quickly made an excuse to hang up the phone.

After comparing last year's admission scores with the first-tier university admission scores for liberal arts over the past few years, and after several days of discussion, the family finally decided to list East China Normal University as their first choice for the US university, and Nanjing Normal University as their second choice.

Since Miguo aspires to be a teacher, Cheng Jing and Huang Erhe naturally support her.

More than a month later, Miguo received her admission letter from East China Normal University as she wished. Fortunately, the minimum admission score for liberal arts at East China Normal University this year was 476, and Miguo scored 477, just one point above the line. Her luck was simply off the charts.
