Chapter 186 Inspirational
On the telephone pole next to the grain drying field, the loudspeaker kept broadcasting: [All workers, farmers, and educated youth who go to the mountains and the countryside and return to their hometowns who meet the enrollment requirements... can voluntarily sign up for this national university and technical secondary school. Entrance examination. 】
The news of the resumption of the college entrance examination was like a thunderstorm and a shower of rain. The seeds buried in the ground overnight began to take root and sprout, and they were destined to become towering trees.
Most of the members in Shanghe Village only have primary school education. Even if the college entrance examination resumes, they dare not even think about it.
Not to mention the Educated Youth Institute. As of this year, there are still a group of educated youths who go to the countryside in the spring. It will be even more difficult for these people to go back after they come down.
As soon as they heard the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination, the educated youths immediately surrounded the captain's house.
Gu Jianguo knew the news earlier than the educated youths. After Gu Mingdong confirmed the news, he disclosed it to his third uncle to make him prepare.
At that time, Uncle Gu still thought, anyway, he will not take the college entrance examination, and his two sons and daughter-in-law are useless. The old family’s two children are old, but they can’t study well. They graduated from junior high school early and went home to farm. He has nothing to prepare .
After the loudspeaker spread the news everywhere, Gu Sanshu understood what he was going to prepare.
This day, people came to the door to inquire about it every day, and they couldn't even eat and sleep peacefully.
It’s just that it’s all right, as time gets closer, both the members and the educated youths are thinking about it all day long, and they even start to be less active in labor.
Gu Sanshu had no choice, so he simply gathered all the members of the commune and held a meeting in the grain drying yard.
"I know that everyone is concerned about the resumption of the college entrance examination. If you have any questions today, you can ask them. If you can answer them, I will answer them. If you can't answer them, I will go to the town to inquire together."
Before the words finished, the impatient Li Mingming got up and asked, "Captain, can we all take the college entrance examination?"
Gu Jianguo nodded and said, "It's been said in the broadcast that all workers, farmers, educated youths, demobilized soldiers, and fresh high school graduates who meet the enrollment requirements can apply voluntarily."
The brothers of the Du family looked at each other and asked, "Captain, is there no limit on the number of people in our production team?"
I heard that the production team next door has started a commotion. It is nothing more than that the educated youth want to take the college entrance examination and return to the city. The local production team refuses to agree and does not issue certificates.
If you don't have a certificate, you can't register, and if you don't register, you won't get an admission ticket, which is tantamount to cutting off the way for educated youths to return home.
How could the educated youth who wanted to go back to the city agree, and some even made troubles to the extent of the commune.
The public says that the public is right, and the woman says that the old woman is reasonable, and there is no conclusion on the commune.
Gu Jianguo only said: "The college entrance examination does not limit the number of applicants. As long as you want to participate, I can issue a certificate."
After saying this, the educated youths breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Jianguo saw it in his eyes, and he felt that what Gu Mingdong said was right. The hearts of the educated youths were not in Shanghe Village at all, and they did not lack such a little labor force. Rather than letting them worry about it all day, it is better to let go.
Even Gu Jianguo felt that since the educated youths had left, Shanghe Village would be clean.
This means that the educated youths in Shanghe Village don’t have many unions with the members. Compared with other production teams, except for Qian Zhiyi who married Liu Dani, the rest of the educated youths in Shanghe Village gritted their teeth and persisted, and did not marry and have children with the villagers.
If there is no local settlement, there will be no marital disputes.
Among them, there are educated youths who are ambitious, but they also tolerate Gu Jianguo with them. Shanghe Village has a good harvest every year, and the educated youths can persevere as long as they are willing to work.
Especially for those like Xu Zhenzhen who went to the countryside in the early years, and now they are almost [-] years old. As a woman, it is really not easy to bear the burden of not getting married.
Now their persistence has paid off. The other production teams that make a lot of trouble are basically such combined families.
Gu Jianguo added: "The newspapers said that this time the admissions will be subject to strict examinations to achieve fair competition, and the admissions will be reviewed by the school at that time. In the end, whether you can pass the exam and whether you can go to university if you pass the exam , I, the captain, said it doesn't count."
He was afraid that if he didn't make it clear in advance, the educated youths would go to participate, and it would be his fault if they didn't pass the exam.
Sure enough, when I said this, I was full of confidence in my love of reading on weekdays, and I didn't have any cultured frowns.
Li Mingming asked again: "Captain, don't you need a political review for this college entrance examination?"
"Political review is naturally needed, but this time there is no composition restriction."
As soon as these words came out, the people surrounding the grain drying yard were in an uproar.
Wu Wei and Zhou Zijin stood at the end, they both hugged their daughter's arms, and ripples appeared in their originally calm hearts.
Wu Wei plucked up his courage and asked, "Captain, can my daughter also take the college entrance examination?"
Before he finished speaking, Wang Mazi sneered and said, "What are you dreaming about? The capitalist's daughter still wants to take the college entrance examination."
Not only him, most people think so.
Wu Wei's face turned pale, and Wu Xuanxuan next to her pursed her lips and stood there stubbornly: "Captain, didn't you say that there is no restriction on ingredients, so can I participate?"
In nearly ten years, the shy and introverted little girl has been polished into a tough and resolute big girl.
Gu Jianguo frowned, not knowing how to explain it for a moment.
In his opinion, the daughter of the stinky old nine must not be able to take the college entrance examination, especially since Wu Xuanxuan was unwilling to draw a line with her parents and was sent down together, but the documents above did not set restrictions.
He subconsciously looked at Gu Mingdong: "Ah Dong, what do you think?"
Gu Mingdong raised his eyebrows and explained: "The above means that the political review when applying for the exam mainly depends on one's political performance. If one loves socialism, loves labor, and observes discipline, then he is eligible."
In the end, without waiting for Wu Xuanxuan to be happy, he said, "However, the specific political review is handled by each locality. Whether it works or not depends on the specific reviewers."
Even though the above said that it depends on the performance of the person and gets rid of the theory of composition, but in the actual implementation process, this kind of prejudice is not so easy to disappear. Who knows whether the next one will directly apply a one-size-fits-all just in case.
Wu Xuanxuan understood, and lowered her head a little disappointed.
She knew that in her own capacity, even if she could participate, it would still be a big question whether the school would accept it.
Zhou Zijin had just seen hope, but it turned into disappointment again. When he thought that their husband and wife had dragged down their daughter, he couldn't help feeling sad.
On the contrary, Wu Xuanxuan comforted: "Mom, I still want to try it. What if they let me participate?"
Wu Wei hurriedly said: "If you want to try it, try it. If it doesn't work this time, there will be another chance in the future."
After all, looking at it now, the policy is getting looser and looser.
Wang Mazi rolled his eyes, and thought to himself, if those stinky old nines are all right, can his own Xiao Zhu also participate?
Thinking of his son being able to pass the entrance examination and become a college student, Wang Mazi felt that this life was worth it.
After a meeting, Gu Jianguo was so talkative that he finally answered their endless questions.
In the end, Gu Jianguo emphasized: "I don't care whether you want to participate or not, but even if you want to participate, you can't delay your usual labor. Otherwise, when the political review comes, don't blame me for writing you an evaluation that you don't like labor."
The scalps of the floating minds tightened, but they immediately stopped the recent trend of cutting corners.
Only then was Gu Jianguo satisfied, and he turned around and asked Gu Mingdong: "Adong, I heard that Xiaoxi and Xiaobei are going to take the college entrance examination, and even Anan's wife is going to take part?"
Gu Mingdong nodded and said: "The college entrance examination is rare, and they all want to give it a try."
Gu Jianguo didn't comment too much, he just reminded: "You should think about it, especially Anan's daughter-in-law is not young, and there are two children under her, it will be troublesome if she fails to pass the exam."
"The boat will go straight when it reaches the bridge." As long as Gu Mingnan agrees, Gu Mingdong won't bother to take care of it, and let the couple handle it by themselves.
Gu Mingdong persuaded him in turn: "Third Uncle, Ajun Xiaofang, don't you want to participate?"
When Gu Jianguo heard this, he was a little hesitant: "A Jun and A Yong don't like reading. He barely finished his junior high school. He probably forgot all about it long ago."
"Xiaofang and Xiaowei are okay, but they are getting older, and the old family is already helping to meet them."
Gu Jianguo knew very well that if he didn't speak up, the old family would definitely not let the two granddaughters take the college entrance examination.
Gu Mingdong said: "The college entrance examination will be resumed for the first time, and the exam will be taken directly in two months. Everyone will be insufficiently prepared. At this time, the starting point is the lowest."
"I asked Nanshan to prepare the "Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry Self-study Series" in advance. As long as you can read these books down-to-earth, you will be more likely to pass the exam."
"Third Uncle, go home and ask Ah Jun if they want to participate. If so, let them come and study with Xiaobei. This is a rare opportunity."
When he said this, Gu Jianguo was really moved.
As a grandfather, although Gu Jianguo felt that farming was labor and labor was glorious, but it was a good thing for the children to go to university, which was a good thing to honor their ancestors.
Gu Mingdong stopped.
Uncle Gu has helped their family a lot, and they have been helping each other over the years. If possible, Gu Mingdong naturally hopes that their family can produce two outstanding ones, so that the gap between the two families will not widen.
So from the bottom of his heart, he hoped that the children of the old Gu family would be able to catch up with this ride, not to mention any key universities, but anyone who could pass a technical secondary school would be much better than their peers.
But it's no use urging him to hurry up on this matter, they have to want it themselves.
When Gu Jianguo returned home, he thought about it, and he called his son and grandson to him.
The three sons of the old family, and the three daughters of the old family, except for the youngest, did not even go to elementary school, and the first two finished junior high school before returning home to work in agriculture.
In recent years, due to Wang Feng's reasons, the family rarely has such a complete family.
Because he was afraid that she would go crazy, Gu Jianguo asked Gu Ting, who was raised by them, to go out to play in advance, so as not to run into his mother.
Third Aunt Gu didn't want to see the daughter-in-law of the old family in her heart, especially when she came, the granddaughter she raised with her own hands would have to go out, and she was even more frustrated in her heart, so she kept her face sullen and didn't speak.
After being in charge of the family for a long time, the daughter-in-law of Bao's family became more and more turbulent. Seeing that Gu Ting was not there, she looked at her mother-in-law's face. She patted the youngest son's buttocks and told him to go out to play too, so don't disturb the adults.
When Wang Feng came in, the two sisters-in-law nodded, maintaining the superficial peace.
Gu Jianguo saw it in his eyes, and felt in his heart that the eldest daughter-in-law was really good, and then looked at the young daughter-in-law who was pulling her face, and sighed again.
"Dad, why did you call us over?" Gu Baojia asked.
Gu Jianguo coughed, repeated Gu Mingdong's words, and said, "Ah Dong is right, if you want to take the college entrance examination, then this is the best opportunity."
Without going out, Gu Jianguo also knew that "Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry Self-study Series" is very rare, and it is something that is hard to buy. With this, it does not mean that half of the success is achieved.
When Gu Baojia heard this, he immediately patted the heads of the two sons: "Did you hear that, you two went to study hard with Xiao Bei, and when the time comes, I will be admitted to a university by then, and you will be honored."
Unexpectedly, their two sons were frowning.
The boss Gu Jun said: "Dad, don't you know me? I almost forgot about addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. How can I get into college?"
The elder Gu Yong also said: "Dad, I am just like my elder brother. I am good at farming and working hard, but how can I succeed in studying?"
Gu Bao's family hated iron and scolded: "What's the matter with you two? Others have finished junior high school, but you two have also finished junior high school, and the books have been read into the stomach of a dog?"
"Besides, how do you know it won't work if you don't try it?"
"Then Ah Xing and Ah Chen are a few years younger than the two of you. They both passed the high school entrance examination. Why are you two so unbelievable?"
Gu Jun touched his nose and muttered, "That's not like you, I'm not born to study."
Gu Baojia was so angry that he reached out to slap his son across the face.
Gu Jun quickly moved away, and shouted: "I'm telling the truth, Dad, why are you so angry?"
Seeing that the father and son were about to quarrel, Gu Jianguo coughed: "Okay, what are you arguing about?"
"Reading has to be voluntary, otherwise it will be a waste of effort."
He knew what his two grandsons looked like, so he asked them with a frown: "Ah Jun, Ayong, have you really thought about it? If you can get into the university, you can be assigned as a worker no matter what. "
Gu Jun took a peek at his father, and said in a low voice: "Grandfather, I really don't have that kind of brain. I'd be happy if I could get into it. Who doesn't want to go to university, but I really don't have that kind of brain."
Gu Jun is not stupid, but he just doesn't have such a brain. He is very similar to Gu Mingnan. Those who are interested in him can work hard, and those who are not interested in him can't learn at all.
After hesitating for a while, Gu Jun lowered his head and said, "Actually, I want to be a soldier."
"Is it that easy to be a soldier? How many people from all over the world can be soldiers?" Gu Baojia scolded.
"Grandpa, I know that Uncle Adong has connections. You can ask him for help. As long as he can serve as a soldier, I will definitely not embarrass him." Gu Jun said again.
Even though Gu Mingdong doesn't show his mountains and dews on weekdays, he still knows that the most powerful person in the old Gu's family is the uncle next door.
"Self-study Series of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry" is so hard to buy, but Uncle A Dong bought it early, and can distribute it to them for home use.
Gu Jianguo glanced at him, neither agreed nor disagreed, and looked at the old one: "Ayong, what about you?"
Gu Yong is the eldest in the family. He has either listened to his parents or his elder brother since he was a child, and he seems to have no opinions. Now he is a little hesitant.
But his mother had some ideas, and said in a low voice: "Ah Yong is better at studying than Ah Jun. If you don't let him try, it will be a delay of two months."
After speaking, he pushed his son.
Gu Yong said: "I don't know if I can do it, but I can try."
Gu Jianguo nodded and looked at the two granddaughters again.
Before they could speak, Wang Feng hurriedly said, "Dad, let Ah Yong go for the college entrance examination. It's not a good time to get married."
Gu Fang's face turned pale, she lowered her head and stopped talking.
Gu Wei rushed out and said, "Grandfather, I want to take the college entrance examination."
"What are you talking about, you don't have a place to talk here." Wang Feng glared at his daughter.
Gu Wei insisted: "I'm about the same age as Aunt Xiaobei, why can't I go to school, if I pass the university entrance examination, I will be a worker, and then I will still worry about getting married?"
"You can't compare with anyone, but compare them with the two of them." Wang Feng snorted coldly, "Look at how old Xiaoxi is and still hasn't married, no one in the ten miles and eight villages will laugh at her as an old girl who can't get married. "
"Dad, if you want me to say that girls can't read more, their family's Xiaoxi and Xiaobei just broke their brains, and they still don't get married at such an age, which makes it difficult for our family, Xiaofang and Xiaowei, to talk about marriage."
Gu Jianguo's face darkened: "You are also an aunt, is there anyone like you who is an elder?"
Although the news that the two daughters of the old Gu family were not married did not spread very well in the neighborhood, but Gu Jianguo defended his weaknesses and would not listen to other people's irresponsible remarks in front of him.
Wang Feng turned her face away: "Both of them didn't regard me as a sister-in-law, they all smiled when they saw me."
Third Aunt Gu was too lazy to talk to this daughter-in-law at first, but now she couldn't help it anymore: "Damn, don't you know what you did yourself? If they don't give you a good face, it's because of Weiguo's face. , If you want me to turn around and leave when I see you."
"Xiaofang, Xiaowei, don't listen to your mother, she is the one who has lost her mind and is confused all day long. If you listen to her for the rest of her life, then you will be a real fool."
After being sprayed on the face by her mother-in-law, Wang Feng couldn't get off the stage for a while, and subconsciously looked at her man.
Gu Wei also looked at her father: "Dad, do you agree with us to take the college entrance examination?"
Gu Weiguo glanced at his wife and asked, "Are you two sure?"
Gu Wei didn't know what to do in her heart, but she knew that if she couldn't grasp such a good opportunity, if she let it slip through her fingertips, she would definitely regret it for the rest of her life.
She nodded without hesitation: "I will do my best."
Compared to Gu Yong, who was submissive and forward-looking, Gu Jianguo liked the granddaughter's aura very much, and immediately smiled and said, "Okay, with ambition, this is like the daughter of our old Gu family."
Wang Feng's face turned pale: "Dad..."
Gu Weiguo has already made a decision: "It's only two months in total, if the children want to go, let them try, nothing will be delayed."
Gu Wei suddenly burst into laughter, stretched out her hand and pushed her sister beside her, and Gu Fang couldn't help showing a relaxed smile.
That's it for now.
As a result, as soon as he left the Gu family's door, Wang Feng stretched out his hand and was about to hit his daughter, but Gu Wei quickly moved away: "Dad, look at mom."
Gu Weiguo glared at his wife: "What nonsense?"
Wang Feng held back her anger, turned around and said, "Wei Guo, you really promised to let them take the college entrance examination?"
"Didn't you agree just now? It's only been two months. It's a good thing that the child is willing to grow up." Gu Weiguo knew that Wang Feng would easily get sick after being stimulated, so it was cost-effective to speak nicely.
But Wang Feng said: "What kind of university do the two girls go to? No matter how many books they study, they still have to marry and have children. If they study too much, their hearts will become wild. Will they still listen to us?"
Gu Wei clenched her fists: "Mom, after all, you are still afraid that we will be disobedient."
"I'm also thinking about you." Wang Feng continued, "Look at that girl Gu Mingxi, it doesn't matter if she has a job or is a worker, when she gets old, where can she find a good family? Yes, what is it like now?"
"When she goes to college and delays until thirty, let alone a good young man, even a widower whose wife died won't be able to have her."
Gu Wei said with a straight face: "I think Miss Xiaoxi is doing well, much better than those in our production team who married early."
She even thought bitterly in her heart that she would rather not marry for the rest of her life than listen to her mother.
Wang Feng said angrily: "Look, Weiguo, she was taken away before going to study. If she really paid off after studying, then she wouldn't be able to fly to the sky. In the future, we can still count on them?"
"Xiaofang, tell me, do you also want to learn from your sister to go to college?" Wang Feng cried, "We have agreed that when you reach the age, you will recruit a son-in-law, and then carry on the family line of the old Gu family."
Gu Wei rolled her eyes and muttered, "Here we go again."
Gu Fang was obviously unwilling, but she was much more submissive than her younger sister, she just kept her head down and didn't speak.
Seeing that they refused to agree, Wang Feng shouted again: "You were born in my October pregnancy, but now you despise me as a mother. Why do you want to go to college? You just want to leave Shanghe Village and won't support us in the future."
Gu Weiguo saw that her words became more and more outrageous, so he sternly said, "Enough is enough, stop talking."
"Why don't you say it? I've worked so hard to raise them for ten years, and now I want to leave after patting my ass. Pooh, I'm dreaming!"
Gu Fang suddenly raised her head and said, "Mom, no matter where you are, I will take care of you until your death."
But Wang Feng didn't listen: "Then you don't take the Laoshizi college entrance examination, stay in Shanghe Village obediently to recruit a son-in-law, and give birth to a grandson for me is a serious matter."
Gu Fang was in a trance for a moment. All along, she was the most favored one among the first three daughters in the family, and Wang Feng loved her somewhat.
But now, she felt in her heart that in the eyes of her mother, she was not a real person, but a tool that could help her give birth to a grandson named Gu.
Gu Weiguo had a headache from the disturbance, especially as Wang Feng's voice became louder, and people around him began to watch the commotion.
Finally, he grabbed her and walked home: "Don't embarrass me again."
Gu Fang frowned: "Do you think Mom will agree?"
"Whether she agrees or not, Grandpa and Dad agree anyway." Gu Wei snorted coldly.
The family of four left, and the spectators also dispersed.
In the crowd, a four or five-year-old girl watched this scene, turned around and ran away suddenly.
Out of breath, she ran to the old Gu's house, and when she entered the house, she hugged Gu Mingbei's waist tightly and did not speak.
Gu Mingbei was taken aback for a moment, then smiled softly and said, "Xiaoting, what's the matter?"
Gu Ting just hugged her and didn't speak, and Gu Mingbei didn't push her away, just let her hug her like this.
After a long time, Gu Ting raised her head and asked, "Aunt Xiaobei, why is my mother like this?"
Gu Mingbei opened his mouth, he didn't know what to say for a while, and finally said: "Your mother is sick, that's why it happened."
Gu Ting is young, but her mind is very clear: "No, she just doesn't like me, and she doesn't like Eldest Sister and First Sister either."
"She is patriarchal and only likes sons. Grandma said that she is incapable of giving birth to a son, and it is all our fault."
Gu Mingbei sighed. Gu Ting was brought up by Aunt Gu since she was a child. Aunt Gu loved her granddaughter, but she was very dissatisfied with her daughter-in-law, and she couldn't help nagging her in front of her children.
If things go on like this, the mother-daughter relationship between Gu Ting and Wang Feng is running out.
"But it's okay, she doesn't like me, and I don't like her either." Gu Ting said.
She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, looked up and said, "Auntie Bei, I'm going home to help grandma cook."
When the child left, Gu Mingbei couldn't help but sigh.
When Gu Mingxi came back from get off work, when he entered the door, he saw his sister sighing, and immediately asked, "What's the matter, she's sighing."
Gu Mingbi talked about what happened just now, and said sadly: "I don't know if Wei Guo's sister-in-law will stop Xiaofang and Xiaowei from taking the college entrance examination."
"Never mind her, as long as Third Uncle and Wei Guoge agree, it's useless for her to make a fuss." Gu Mingxi snorted coldly.
The last thing she wanted to see was a woman like this, she was obviously a woman, but she was patriarchal, and she even trampled on her own flesh and blood, pitiful and hateful.
Gu Mingxi didn't take this matter to heart, and mysteriously took out something: "Look, Xiaobei, what is this!"
Gu Mingbei looked up, surprised.
