Chapter 13 Section 4

Naoki: How is it going? Thank you for the letter you sent me the other day.I haven't heard from Naoki for a long time, and I'm so glad.After reading what was written in my heart, I became happier and wondered if I was dreaming.If you say something like this, maybe you will be angry, and I even think that it is a lie made up to make me happy? But it must be true, Zhigui is going to college! The Department of Correspondence Education, to be honest, I don't know what's going on.When we talk about correspondence education, we immediately think of things like karate.There was a guy in middle school who learned karate from correspondence education.I think that was probably a scam, and Zhigui would not go to that kind of place, it must be a decent university.

Didn't know there was such a place.How nice it is to be able to enroll without taking the college entrance examination.Zhigui is so busy now, how can he have time to make preparations. It's nice to be able to work and go to school at the same time.Is it possible to arrange learning according to your own time?In that case, when the company is on break, you can concentrate on learning a lot. However, what makes me most happy is that Naoki finally has this idea.Because I am like this, everything is over, I think you will be depressed.It's amazing how much you can make up your mind!

I can't help you with anything, at most I can encourage you, although I don't think my encouragement is of any use. It's been quite cold recently, you must pay attention to your body, if your body breaks down, everything will be ruined. I am still the same, the operation of the machine is completely familiar, and I am beginning to feel a little bit interested. I will write again, Naoki must be very busy, so don't force me to reply. Takeshi And again: How about the visit to Ogata's family's grave? The same life is repeated every day. After waking up in the morning, I go to the factory and return to the dormitory after finishing the waste disposal work.After eating dinner in the cafeteria and taking a shower, I watched TV for an hour, and then studied with the high school reference books and problem sets that Kurata left behind.Some content has been forgotten, but it is not so strenuous to pick up the content that was studied hard a year ago.

The Department of Correspondence Education to enter the university does not need to take an entrance examination, but only needs to pass the examination of the application documents.Even so, Zhigui re-reviewed the high school courses in order to get back the academic qualifications obtained by Zeng Jin, so that he can learn more and deeper knowledge on this basis after entering university. I don't know why Kurata left the brochure from the Department of Correspondence Education of Teito University. Generally speaking, if you are going to enroll after passing the inspection, you should take it away as a document.However, Zhigui always felt that he had other intentions, maybe he stayed on purpose, in order to tell Zhigui who was desperate for the future that there is still such a way in the world.It was a gamble to mix it up in the textbook. If Naoki had no interest in high school studies or anything like that, he wouldn't have found the booklet if he hadn't opened the bundled textbook.Kurata probably thought that if that was the case, there would be no other way.If Naoki still had the idea of ​​trying again in his studies, he would not simply throw away the textbook and read it, and he would find that booklet.

Maybe it's because I worry too much, I just think about it.I still don't understand it now, but Naoki interpreted it as Kurata's kindness.Because Kurata is the first person to understand Naoki's distress. There is a postcard in the booklet of "Bu Shibao" left by Kurata.It is a postcard for applying for admission documents.Naoki took it off carefully, and when he wanted to fill in his name in the entry information column, he felt a comfortable nervousness.Enrollment, as long as you see these two words, you will feel a little excited. Not long after, the enrollment introduction materials came in the mail, and Naoki suppressed his thumping heart, flipping through them page by page.It used to be hard to contain my excitement while flipping through the last chapter of a manga in a magazine in a bookstore.Compared with then, the agitation in my heart is even more difficult to restrain now.

The correspondence education system is not so complicated. In principle, self-study is conducted using the teaching materials sent by the university, and the learning results are submitted to the university in the form of writing a report. credits.Of course, self-study at home is not enough. To obtain certain credits, one must also accept intensive lectures in the form of face-to-face teaching.However, there is a wide range of options for all courses, and even those with limited time can participate in lectures by adjusting the courses and schedule. There are two forms of admission: one for general subjects and the other for subject electives.Only the former can get a bachelor's degree.Naoki greedily read that part, bachelor, what a tempting word.

There is no problem with the admission qualifications, and the required procedures can probably be completed. The so-called review of application documents is probably to look at the academic performance and other information of the applicants.Those should be fine. His eyes stayed on the following line: Interviews are required when necessary. What does necessary mean?What happens to those who have sinned among their relatives? Naoki shook his head, there is no reason why the family members of the inmates cannot enter the university.To care about this matter itself is to feel sorry for Gangzhi.

More concerned than this is the cost.The admission fee is about 100,000 yen. Not only that, but you have to pay additional fees every time you accept face-to-face lectures. Something must be done. To get into college you need money.This is something everyone understands.In the past, I always relied on my elder brother. Out of responsibility, my elder brother only embarked on the path of crime when there was no other way. Because of his own incompetence, the tragedy happened, Zhigui thought.Those who go to college are self-employed, so the money to be spent has to be earned by themselves.What should have been done a year ago, this time I have to do it myself anyway.

One day after entering December, Naoki went to the high school after a long absence.The scenery in the school has not changed from a year ago, only the faces of the students have changed. As soon as he saw him, Mr. Plum Village said, "I lost weight!" and immediately added, "However, my complexion is much better. How are you doing?" "It's okay!" Naoki replied.Then I would like to thank Mr. Plum Village for her many-sided help.Then, he talked about his plans to go to college.Teacher Plum Village looked at the students he had taught with some surprise. "Correspondence education, indeed, still has this way."

"Teacher, did you know that before?" "I know. But, for Takeshima at that time, I didn't advise you to do this, it's not like that!" Zhigui nodded.It was a time when it was difficult to even find a way to survive. "However, if it is a correspondence education, the subjects are limited. I remember that Takeshimabara wanted to enter the Faculty of Engineering..." Although there are several universities with correspondence education, there are almost no departments of science, and none of the departments of engineering. "I know. I am going to enter the economics department."

"Economy? Maybe that's fine too. Then, let me help you prepare the academic record certificate and other materials for admission." Mr. Umemura patted Naoki on the shoulder and said, "Come on!" Went to Shibuya on my way back from high school.The streets are full of young people with happy faces.The windows are filled with Christmas decorations. It's very different from last year, Zhigui thought.At this time last year, I thought it would be better if there was no Christmas!I feel much better now. It's like wandering in a dark cave for a long time, and finally saw a ray of light.Without any other hope, he could only walk along this ray of light.
