People in the alley: A woman dressed as a man shouldn't be foolishly filial, Zhuang Chaoying

Chapter 110 Teacher Zhuang, how about we switch places?

Zhuang Chaoying knocked on the door: "Engineer Lin, are you home? Tu Nan and I came over to ask for your opinion on college application."

Lin Wufeng opened the door, saw them, and warmly welcomed them into the house.

Song Ying and Lin Dongzhe went next door to drink mung bean soup, leaving the three of them alone in the room to discuss things.

Lin Wufeng took the enrollment information from Tu Nan and carefully read through its contents.

Looking up at Tu Nan, she asked, "Tu Nan, do you have a preferred university? With your grades, you have a wide range of choices."

Tu Nan sat up straight and looked at Uncle Lin. "I want to apply to universities in Shanghai. Specifically, I'm quite interested in the History Department of Fudan University, the Architecture Department of Tongji University, and the Clinical Medicine Department of Shanghai Medical University."

Lin Wufeng listened attentively, nodding occasionally, a smile of appreciation on his face: "These are all good schools and good majors, Tu Nan, you made a good choice! These majors are top-notch in the country, and their future prospects are also very good."

After hearing Tu Nan's chosen major, Zhuang Chaoying frowned slightly, somewhat worried: "Tu Nan, you should really think carefully about architecture. To put it bluntly, you'll likely have to deal with construction sites in the future, and it will be very tough. Are you sure you can handle that?"

Tu Nan smiled. He was now a little taller than Zhuang Chaoying. He reached out and put his arm around his father's shoulder, full of confidence: "Dad, I've thought it through. Don't worry. With my abilities, I can handle anything. I'm not afraid of hard work, and I'm very interested in architecture. I believe I can learn it well."

Looking into her son's determined eyes, Zhuang Chaoying's worries gradually dissipated. She patted Tu Nan's hand and said, "Alright, since you've made up your mind, we'll support you."

Lin Wufeng laughed heartily: "Teacher Zhuang, what Tu Nan said is right. He has a calm and cheerful personality, and he has always been very motivated in his studies. No matter where he goes, he can adapt very well and will definitely be successful."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Fudan University's liberal arts programs are top-notch in China, with a strong faculty and a rich academic atmosphere. Tongji University's architecture department is equally outstanding, having cultivated many excellent architectural talents. Both choices have their merits, and ultimately it depends on what Tu Nan truly aspires to."

Of the three universities Tu Nan chose, the one he least wanted Tu Nan to apply to was medical school.

Studying medicine is a long and arduous journey. Not only are the courses demanding, requiring a significant amount of time and energy to delve into complex medical knowledge, but the work itself is even more demanding, often involving night shifts, irregular schedules, and immense life pressure.

After some discussion, the three of them quickly decided on their first choice.

Tu Nan took a deep breath: "Dad, Uncle Lin, then I'll apply to Tongji University's architecture department as my first choice. I really love architecture and want to study this field to design beautiful and practical buildings."

Tongji University is an excellent university. They understand that parents should respect their children's wishes when it comes to their life choices. Moreover, Tu Nan has excellent grades and would have a great chance of being admitted even if he applied to Tsinghua or Peking University. However, the child has his own ideas, and they are willing to stand behind him and support his dreams.

At this moment, Xiaoting and Lin Dongzhe were sitting in the kitchen, drinking mung bean soup.

Xiaoting gently stirred the mung bean soup in the bowl with a spoon, then turned to look at Lin Dongzhe: "Lin Dongzhe, have you thought about which university you want to go to in the future?"

Lin Dongzhe put down the bowl in his hand, rested his chin on his hands, and looked at Xiaoting's profile: "I'm not picky, as long as I can go to university. Anyway, I'm not as good as Brother Tunan, so I'm glad I can go to school."

Xiaoting was a little angry when she heard this. This Lin Dongzhe is obviously very smart, but he just refuses to study properly. She really doesn't know what he's thinking.

After a while, Lin Dongzhe seemed to suddenly remember something, his eyes lit up, and he asked with great interest, "Xiaoting, are you going to participate in the school's singing and dancing competition? It's so exciting, lots of classmates have signed up."

Xiaoting took a sip of mung bean soup and shook her head: "You're enough to represent our courtyard. I don't want to show off. Besides, I can't dance."

Upon hearing this, Lin Dongzhe immediately perked up: "It's okay if you can't dance, Xiaoting! I can teach you! This dance is very simple, you'll learn it in no time."

As he spoke, he put down his bowl, ran to the backyard, and began to move to the melody in his mind.

Lin Wufeng was chatting with Zhuang Chaoying when he heard the noise coming from the backyard and turned around.

Lin Dongzhe was seen jumping and skipping around in the yard.

Lin Wufeng raised his voice: "Dongzhe, what are you doing?"

Xiaoting poked her head out from the kitchen and replied with a smile, "Uncle Lin, Lin Dongzhe is practicing dance. He's going to participate in the school competition."

Lin Wufeng sat up straight, looked carefully at his son in the backyard, and sighed slightly: "Our Dongzhe, Song Ying and I don't have high expectations for him. We'll be content as long as he can get into university. We're just afraid he won't do well. If he does, we'll probably have to consider whether he should work in a cotton mill or a compressor factory."

Zhuang Chaoying quickly comforted him, "Engineer Lin, Dongzhe is a very smart kid. He just might not have found the motivation and direction for learning yet. Once he gets it, he'll definitely achieve great results."

Lin Wufeng waved his hand with a wry smile: "Teacher Zhuang, you don't know, when I was a child, a fortune teller in the village read my family's fortune and said that I would be the only one to study all the books in our family. At the time, I didn't believe it. But now, looking at my younger siblings, they are not doing well in school, and it really is true. I'm starting to wonder if Dongzhe has followed in their footsteps."

Zhuang Chaoying shook her head after hearing this: "I believe in Dongzhe. He has the potential. As long as he is properly guided, he will definitely succeed."

Lin Wufeng said half-jokingly, "Teacher Zhuang, how about we switch? Tu Nan and Xiao Ting are for my family, and Dong Zhe is for you. Let you experience how I feel as a father."

Zhuang Chaoying was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and didn't know how to answer.

Seeing this, Lin Wufeng laughed: "Look, even you're not saying anything now, Teacher Zhuang. So, I've accepted my fate, and my relationship with Dongzhe as father and son is fine now."

、、、、、、、、

Zhuang Chaoying sat on the edge of the bed. Now that Tu Nan had decided to apply for the architecture program, he, as his father, had to fully support his choice no matter what.

The next day, Zhuang Chaoying took advantage of her short lunch break to hurry to the ophthalmology department of the cotton mill hospital.

After explaining my purpose to the doctor, I was able to borrow a professional color blindness test card.

Put the test card in your bag.

Although Tu Nan has taken the gene-optimized sugar pills and his physical condition, including his eyesight and brain, has improved to some extent, Zhuang Chaoying is still worried.

Architecture majors require a high level of color perception. If Tu Nan has color weakness, even with excellent grades, she may encounter obstacles in her application and future studies.

Despite the fact that in the original story, Tu Nan successfully entered university despite being colorblind.

During the days when it was uncertain whether Tu Nan could go to university, Ah Ling was so anxious that she fell ill.

Therefore, he decided to prepare in advance.

If Tu Nan really does have color vision problems, then he should adjust his application direction and apply to Fudan University's history department.

Zhuang Chaoying returned home after get off work.

He walked straight to the hut, holding a color swatch in his hand.

"Tunan, Dad heard that applying to the architecture department not only requires an interview, but also a vision test. This is a crucial step and cannot be taken lightly. Here, take a look at this color blindness test card. Just say the patterns and numbers you see."

Tu Nan was sitting at his desk, reading a book. Hearing his father's voice, he looked up, put down his book, and reached out to take the test card. Xiao Ting also curiously came over, staring at the test card.

Tu Nan looked at the cards carefully: "Dad, this one is eighty-six, and this one is thirty-two."

Zhuang Chaoying nodded slightly, then quickly flipped through two more pages: "What about this one?"

Tu Nan only moved the card a little closer before immediately answering, "This is a kitten, and this is twenty-five."

Hearing Tu Nan's answer, Zhuang Chaoying breathed a long sigh of relief.

It seems that Tu Nan's color blindness problem has indeed been successfully corrected by the genetically optimized sugar pill.
