Chapter 063
Because the two families no longer eat together, Liu Xinyu returned to a leisurely life.
Reading has become her main theme.
Knowing that the college entrance examination would be resumed this year and would be held between the end of November and the beginning of December, of course she had to read the book carefully.
Liu Xinyu has both Xin Yu’s memory and the memory of the original owner, and is no stranger to high school knowledge.
What made her happy was that the original owner was more interested in liberal arts, but his math scores were not bad either.
In fact, even if she doesn't review, she can take the college entrance examination with the knowledge she has now and compete with those rural educated youths who have been idle for several years. The advantage is quite obvious. If she uses these few months to review carefully, she will have no problem getting into college.
But it seemed that when registering for the college entrance examination this year, she had to fill in her application form, so Liu Xinyu was overthinking it.
Initially, she planned to apply for Beijing University and Qingda University, the two top universities in the country, which she yearned for very much.
After some random thinking, Liu Xinyu felt that what she should consider was not which university to apply for, but which major to apply for.
Although she had a high degree of education during the Xin Yu era, she did not go to university in China. Instead, she went directly to Paris to study fashion design in high school.
Of course it would be impossible for Liu Xinyu to learn fashion design again in her new life.
The fashion design industry changes very quickly, with big changes occurring in three to five years, or even in one or two years.
A major change is an era, and an era has its own characteristics.
There is a total difference between this era and Xin Yu's era of forty years, at least ten generations.
Forty years and ten generations have passed, and the concepts of design are very different. It is undoubtedly a waste of life to study fashion design again.
It is better to find a major that you want to study but don't have the opportunity to study, which can not only supplement yourself but also make up for your regrets.
Liu Xinyu silently sorted out in her heart the things that Xin Yu wanted to do but was unable to do in the past, and found that some regrets could not be made up for by reliving her life.
After all, human energy is limited, and many of the ideas and thoughts of this era cannot be compared with those forty years later.
After careful consideration, Liu Xinyu felt that rather than embarrass herself, it would be better to make her life more relaxed.
No matter what major she studies, when the clarion call of reform and opening up sounds, she will have the skills to make a living.
So Liu Xinyu no longer planned to go to Beijing University and Qingda University, but planned to go outside Beijing to learn one or two more foreign languages.
Xin Yu studied abroad for seven or eight years, and is very fluent in French and English. Her spoken and written language is comparable to a professional translator.
After completing her studies and returning to China, she often contacted designers from various countries, so she knew several languages.
You can already be considered proficient in French and English, and of course you don’t need to spend time learning them again.
Can communicate in Japanese and Korean.
These two languages can be improved a little or two, but Liu Xinyu doesn't like these two countries.
Since you don’t like it, of course you can’t force yourself to improve.
I only know a little bit about Italian and Spanish.
Well, these two languages can be used as alternatives.
It’s not that I haven’t been exposed to other languages, it’s just that I haven’t been exposed to them much, so I haven’t put the time and effort into learning them.
I heard that German is difficult to learn, and Russian is a bit convoluted...
In order to improve herself without embarrassing herself too much, Liu Xinyu decided to apply for Beijing Foreign Studies University and study Italian. She just didn't know if there was any Italian major outside Beijing Foreign Studies University.
Forget it, it's useless to think too much now. You won't know which school and major you can apply for until the time of registration. The right way is to review carefully now.
Of course, we should also treat the "Queen Mother's" instructions on making money as a top priority.
Liu Xinyu is best at clothing design, which is a skill engraved in her bones. Cutting and sewing that go along with the design are also her strengths.
She will soon be a substitute teacher at Minqin Primary School. Of course she cannot become a tailor to steal Tailor Lin's job.
Stealing someone's job is like killing someone's parents or digging up someone's ancestral grave. You can't do this kind of thing, but you can find another way.
As the school season approaches, Liu Xinyu gradually has some ideas in her mind.
From the children around her, Liu Xinyu discovered that the schoolbags of children in this era were just cloth bags sewn by parents with needlework, or carried cross-body or by hand.
Such book bags not only restrict children's active nature, but are also not conducive to the neatness of books.
Children often lose their schoolbags due to playfulness, and most children's books are seriously damaged due to curling.
As a fashion designer, of course she is involved in various bags that match clothing. She even designed a backpack when designing a sports series of clothing, and the response was very good.
Appropriate modifications to the design of that backpack can make it more suitable for students and the aesthetics of this era.
Of course it is not Liu Xinyu's style to just think without doing anything. Doing what you say is the correct attitude towards life.
It's just the fabric and accessories of the schoolbag that gave Liu Xinyu a lot of trouble. It's really hard for a woman to make a meal without straw.
She tried all the fabrics she could find at home. Ordinary cotton fabrics were too soft, and old-fashioned fabrics were a bit reluctant. Liu Xinyu finally chose khaki fabrics and denim fabrics.
Khaki cotton is stiffer and more moisture-resistant than cotton.
The so-called labor cloth is also the denim fabric in the future. In this era, there was no such name as denim.
Liu Xinyu remembered that there was canvas at home. She wanted to try using canvas, but she rummaged through the utility room and couldn't find it.
Next time you go to town, you must go to the supply and marketing cooperative and ask Accountant Yan or Director Shan.
Now Liu Xinyu’s headache is the support material at the bottom of the backpack.
Regardless of whether it is khaki, labor cloth or even canvas, it is far less stiff than leather. If you want your backpack to protect books, it must have support at the bottom and sides.
Liu Xinyu rummaged through her utility room for a long time, but of course she couldn't find the suitable accessories she remembered, such as PVC thin hoses, or even the next best thing, rubber thin hoses or plastic thin hoses.
Of course, she could use iron wire for this support, but the iron wire penetrated the fabric too easily. Even if it was wrapped in rubber before use, Liu Xinyu was still worried that it would cause harm to the child.
Children are the treasures of the family, the flowers of the motherland, and the future of the motherland. Liu Xinyu dare not be careless.
Without suitable excipients, I would rather give up this potential way to make money than be perfunctory or careless in the slightest.
"What are you doing with this mess?" The rice in the team was finally dry, and the production team had begun to deliver food to the grain station. Chen Zhaodi finally had some free time, so she came to Liu Xinyu to discuss continuing to catch eels in the cage.
When I saw the messy things on the table and floor in Liu Xinyu's main room, I couldn't help but frown.
Liu Xinyu looked around and found that it was indeed a bit messy.
Although Chen Zhaodi is from the country, she still likes to be neat.
Although there are many children in the old house, it is still kept very neatly.
The kitchen, which Liu Xinyu disliked because of the fumes, was actually kept very tidy.
It's just that it can't be compared with Liu Xinyu's kitchen, but it's much cleaner than other homes.
The kitchen of the old house has been used for decades. Even in the city, there are no range hoods in this era. It’s strange that the oil smoke is not heavy!
