Study System: I'm a 38-Year-Old Student-Chapter 171 - 128: The Start of the School Year! A 38-Year-Old College Freshman!
"Alright, you guys continue practicing!"
Shen Qiushan naturally noticed how his own brat and Luo Yao were getting along, and he certainly didn’t want to stick around as a third wheel.
After his dad left, Shen Yixiao immediately held up the admission letter and took a selfie, then posted it on his social media with a simple caption: Sanjiang University, here I come!
Once he posted it, it quickly garnered many likes and comments.
The sports students all exclaimed, "Awesome!"
After all, for the sports students of Sanjiang High School, getting into Sanjiang University was already a peak achievement.
In a car wash shop.
Wang Yunpeng had just finished wiping down a car and used a towel to dab the sweat from his forehead. He picked up his phone, scrolled through social media, and then saw the great news from his good buddy Shen Yixiao.
Wang Yunpeng casually liked the post, but his feelings were mixed.
Originally, the two of them were at the same level, barely scraping the threshold for university. But then his good buddy Shen Yixiao, in the last three months, studied hard and successfully got into Sanjiang University.
Meanwhile, Wang Yunpeng remained in the same spot. His performance in the college entrance exam was less than ideal, scoring only 381 points!
Even for a sports student, getting into a university with that score wasn’t very promising.
So, there’s a high probability he’ll end up at a vocational college.
In this age where degrees are heavily devalued, even ordinary university and postgraduate degrees are struggling to find jobs.
Wang Yunpeng suddenly felt lost about the future.
They say the college entrance exam is a major turning point in life. Wang Yunpeng didn’t think much of it before, but now, seeing the contrast with his good buddy, he suddenly felt there was truth to that.
Attending a good university might not guarantee a great future, but at least the odds are higher.
Especially for children from ordinary families, the college entrance exam still offers a chance to change their fate, at least improving their impoverished living conditions.
Take Xu Pipa, for example; after entering the Sanjiang University Medical College for further studies, she is sure to secure a job in a hospital and become a doctor.
After all, Sanjiang University Medical College ranks very high in the country, unlike those second-rate medical colleges that rely entirely on family connections for hospital jobs after graduation.
Wang Yunpeng enlarged his good buddy’s admission letter, carefully reading every word, then opened the comments section and pondered for a long time before finally leaving the words "Keep it up, bro!"
"Look at Xiaoxiao!"
"You both had similar grades before, now he’s made it to Sanjiang University!"
Wang Yunpeng’s old man somehow sneaked up behind him.
This car wash was owned by Wang Yunpeng’s family, usually run by his parents. After the college entrance exam, he spent most of his time helping out there.
"Dad, you walk without making a sound!"
Wang Yunpeng was startled by the sudden voice; he turned to glance at his old man and argued, "Even Uncle Shen became a top scorer!"
"If I had a dad like that, my grades wouldn’t be bad either!"
"Hey!"
"You kid can’t study well, and now you’re blaming me!"
Old Wang never expected to be turned back by his son like this.
"It’s true though!"
"As the saying goes, like father, like son!"
"If the father is formidable, the son can’t be bad either!"
"Uncle Shen and Shen Yixiao are examples."
Wang Yunpeng argued assertively.
And Old Wang was left speechless, after all, the news of Shen Qiushan becoming a top scorer was too sensational recently.
Not only was it known throughout Sanjiang City, but it also caused a nationwide sensation.
Old Wang didn’t know that his son’s comment had become a standard retort for students who didn’t do well on exams against their parents.
Say I didn’t study well, didn’t score high?
That’s because I don’t have a top scorer as a dad!
And when this was said, it often left parents speechless.
There’s no argument because right there, Shen Qiushan is a living example, winning top scorer at the age of 38!
Not only that, but also because of his exemplary role, his children’s academic performance shot up in just three months, soaring from borderline university prospects to students capable of entering 985-tier universities!
September 1st.
The day new students report to Sanjiang University.
The three members of the Shen Family got up early.
To be precise, the three of them were so excited they couldn’t sleep in.
Shen Yanran and Shen Yixiao couldn’t be more excited; ever since they received their admission letters, their hearts were already on the university campus.
And Shen Qiushan, even at 38, had missed out on the university experience, often regarded as "the best time of one’s life."
So, facing the upcoming university life, all three were very much looking forward to it.
"Qiushan, do you need me to take you to the school?"
Old Shen had a late shift today. Looking at the bags and packages in the living room, he felt a bit empty inside.
The house, which used to be bustling daily, would only have Old Shen in it after Shen Qiushan took the two kids to live at the university.
"No need, if you take us, I’ll still have to bring you back."
Shen Qiushan waved him off, roughly guessing his father’s thoughts, he added, "Anyway, we’re all in Sanjiang, we’ll come back on weekends, and if you ever need anything, just call, I can come back!"
"It doesn’t matter if you come back or not, it’ll be quieter if you don’t."
Old Shen insisted, pretending to be indifferent, then clicked into a female streamer’s room, watching his favorite long white legs.
