Chapter 2407
Applying for Sociology
Ran Qiuye laughed until tears streamed down her face.
She never imagined things would take such a dramatic turn.
That's just how things are in the world. She extrapolated from her own experience to the conclusion that Xiao Fang was now living in despair.
Little did they expect that Xiao Fang would be so happy after receiving that 80,000 yuan.
These days, having 80,000 yuan is practically considered financial freedom.
Xiao Fang is no longer considering the necessity of going abroad.
With 80,000 yuan, she returned to Beijing and spent 10,000 yuan to buy a small courtyard house.
You can live a carefree life every day.
One time when she went to the hospital for a check-up, she happened to run into Xu Damao, who was also going for a physical examination with his company.
Xu Damao noticed her large pregnant belly and casually asked whose child it was.
Xiao Fang casually remarked, "It's yours!"
After Xu Damao returned, he was in a daze and worried for a long time.
After all, he had precedents for planting on other people's land.
These are all minor matters.
Xu Damao hadn't told He Yuzhu this.
Even if He Yuzhu found out, he wouldn't care too much.
He is now more focused on the choice of his second child.
The second son, He Ping, still went through the motions and took the college entrance examination once.
He Yuzhu's current status
Furthermore, He Ping's past achievements in Go will not affect his academic path whether he takes the exam or not.
This is the truth about this society.
There can be no true equality between people.
So after He Ping said he had decided to continue his studies.
Those in the He family who had influence finally found a place to contribute their remaining energy.
Rain and He Yuan come to our house every day, all they want to do is choose a school and major that will lead to great success for He Ping.
He Yuzhu held the baby Song Fang in his arms, responding to the little guy with "oh oh..." sounds.
Even when the little guy got excited and spit all over his face, He Yuzhu didn't care.
Meanwhile, He Yuan, dressed even more old-fashioned than Liu Ting, was having a lively discussion with Yu Shui on the sofa.
He Yuan is, after all, someone working within the system, so her attire is primarily conservative.
Dressed in a business suit, wearing square-framed glasses that made him look dull, and with short, ear-length hair...
He Yuzhu couldn't help but feel awkward about it.
Is this still my beloved daughter who was once the top socialite in Hong Kong?
However, he also knew that He Yuan was the editor-in-chief and a leader at that comic magazine, and there were indeed requirements regarding her attire.
A short while later, Liu Ting returned.
Big wavy hair, a blazer, a knee-length pencil skirt, flesh-colored stockings, and high heels.
Combined with Liu Ting's still beautiful face, she was able to suppress the rain, just like He Yuan.
He Yuzhu strongly suspected that these three women were just using He Ping's college application as an excuse to gossip.
In fact, He Ping had consulted He Yuzhu on this matter.
He Yuzhu did not force him to choose a major, but instead let him start from his own interests.
So, despite the current popularity of engineering, He Ping chose the humanities.
The women in the family are unaware of this, otherwise He Yuzhu would probably be in trouble again.
When He Ping went to Hong Kong last time, He Yuzhu suffered from back pain for half a month. It wasn't until he received He Ping's telegram that he was going home that He Yuzhu's back pain "recovered".
A middle-aged woman going berserk is truly terrifying. He Yuzhu doesn't want to experience it again.
But that's just how parents are.
He wanted to provide a safety net for his son, not only in terms of external support but also at home, where he would also maintain a respectable image.
This is like Ke Zhen'e in The Legend of the Condor Heroes, who knew perfectly well that his martial arts skills were inferior.
But when faced with difficulties, he still has to step up.
He Yuzhu, holding his grandson, hid in the kitchen, leaning against the door frame and peeking at the women outside.
He met Song Fang's chubby gaze and whispered to his grandson, "Fangfang, do you think Grandpa will be in trouble?"
"Oh...oh..." The little guy saw that someone was talking to him and responded very enthusiastically.
"No, right?"
I also think so. After all, no matter what major our children choose, they will always have a bright future.” He Yuzhu took this as his grandson’s agreement.
"Old He, Old He!" Liu Ting, sitting on the sofa, shouted at him.
"Hey hey hey..." He Yuzhu felt a chill run down his spine, but still responded.
After all, his daughter and sister were both there today. He thought Liu Ting wouldn't punish him in public, right?
Questionable!
He Yuzhu carried her grandson to the sofa. Liu Ting stretched out her arms, and Song Fang giggled and rushed into his grandmother's arms.
Compared to He Yuzhu, he was definitely more familiar with Liu Ting.
Seeing that even his only ally had betrayed him, He Yuzhu obediently sat down on the small sofa, legs together, hands on his knees, behaving extremely well.
It's worth mentioning here that He Yuzhu's CNC School belongs to engineering, which is currently one of the most popular majors.
These days, apart from foreign language majors, liberal arts majors are not very popular.
The key point is that He Ping chose an even more niche major – sociology.
Yenching University just re-established its sociology department this year, meaning this major was only recently launched.
He Ping wanted to read, hoping to understand the essence of the world through some social phenomena.
So He Yuzhu used his connections in that area to get He Ping to become Mr. Fei's apprentice.
That big shot was actually the head of the sociology department at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.
The key issue is that people who study this discipline nowadays, aside from doing some theoretical research, really don't have much practical application.
That's why He Yuzhu was so nervous.
"Old He, has your son talked to you about what major he wants to choose?" Liu Ting held her grandson, letting the little guy jump around on her lap, but asked He Yuzhu seriously.
"No!" He Yuzhu had barely answered when he knew he'd messed up.
His answer was too straightforward.
As a father, even if he doesn't know the answer to his son's future, he should at least have his own guesses, instead of being so dismissive.
"Hmm?..." Liu Ting looked at him suspiciously.
"I...I really don't know."
Honey, as you know, the second son has always had his own independent ideas.
How can we know what he's thinking unless he tells us himself? "Better to sacrifice a friend than myself," He Yuzhu thought, now he just hoped He Ping would come home later.
It would be best if he stayed out and didn't come back until the three women dispersed today.
He could calmly accept it even if Liu Ting yelled at him behind closed doors.
It would be too embarrassing for me to be disciplined by Liu Ting in front of my daughter.
Liu Ting glanced at He Yuzhu suspiciously again, her doubts still lingering.
But she also knew that she had indeed gone too far with He Yuzhu some time ago.
Moreover, He Yuzhu would not dare to hide anything from her on such an important matter.
So, for the time being, I put aside my doubts and instead discussed with He Yuan which major would lead to a better future. (End of Chapter)
