Chapter 1182: College Entrance Examination Resumed (3)
At the educated youth point, after listening to the broadcast, Chen Jiaojiao looked at Feng Chunyan with complicated eyes.
"Did you know that the college entrance examination would be resumed and deliberately hide it from me?
Otherwise, how can you study from morning till night during these months of hibernation? "
At this time, Feng Chunyan was very excited and sighed in her heart.
"The college entrance examination has really been restored. I studied for five months longer than others.
In this way, you will have a greater advantage than others.”
"I really want to thank Zhou Zhiqing and Zhao Zhiqing for telling Wen Bing the news."
However, this matter must be kept secret from others and cannot be leaked.
Hearing Chen Jiaojiao's question, she looked at her in surprise.
"How could I have known in advance that the college entrance examination would be resumed?"
Chen Jiaojiao didn't believe it. "Then why didn't you study before? Why did you suddenly become interested in studying during this hibernation?"
Feng Chunyan had already thought of an excuse, "Liu Zhaodi got married a few years ago, so you and I, two female educated youth, are living in the educated youth center.
We have always disliked each other and ignored each other. If I don't find something to do, how am I going to get through these few months of hibernation?
You can't sleep all the time 24 hours a day.
I'm not a pig, how can I sleep?"
"Don't you see how many places the production team has recommended for college in the past two years? They all require an exam.
If I study harder, maybe I can get a spot if there is one this year."
Feng Chunyan was relieved. "But I didn't expect that I hit the jackpot by accident. I had this idea, and the college entrance examination was actually restored."
Although the reason was very convincing, Chen Jiaojiao obviously still didn't believe it, "I feel like you are lying to me."
Feng Chunyan was not good at lying and was worried that this man would continue to make false demands and would be exposed.
She quickly diverted the man's attention and said, "Don't dwell on this anymore. Think about whether you should take the college entrance examination.
But I know you didn't bring any study materials when you came here.
If you want to take the college entrance examination, you can’t do without study materials.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Jiaojiao's eyes couldn't help but fall on Feng Chunyan's books.
Following her gaze, Feng Chunyan found that she was staring at her book, so she immediately rushed over to block it.
"Don't try to take my books.
These books are not mine; they were lent to me by Zhou Zhiqing.
If you want to get it yourself."
“It’s still early today, so you should hurry to the town’s bookstore or scrap yard to see if you can get a book before the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination spreads.
Once the news spreads, I'm afraid you won't be able to get it even if you have money."
After Feng Chunyan's reminder, Chen Jiaojiao came to her senses and immediately prepared to put on her clothes.
Feng Chunyan reminded her, "With the news broadcast on the radio, it is estimated that many people will receive it.
You are alone and helpless, why not call the male educated youth in the next room to help you. "
Chen Jiaojiao thought so too, so after putting on her clothes, she opened the door and went out to negotiate with the male educated youth.
At a villager's home in the Red Star Production Team, Liu Zhaodi's expression kept changing as she listened to the broadcast outside.
Looking at his newly married wife and listening to the broadcast outside, the man thought of something.
Lowering his head to hide his emotions, the man said in a muffled voice, "Do you regret marrying me?
Do you want to take the college entrance examination?"
Hearing the man's words, everyone else around turned their heads and looked at Liu Zhaodi.
“When you wanted to marry an educated youth, I didn’t agree.
I told you a long time ago that it is impossible for the educated youth from the big city to live peacefully with an uneducated country bumpkin like you.
Now, he spent money to marry a wife, but after just a few months, he started to have second thoughts and wanted to leave.
All the money we have worked so hard to save for so many years has gone down the drain." The man's mother, who looked old, said in hatred.
As he spoke, he looked at Liu Zhaodi with murderous eyes.
“Third brother, don’t blame your sister-in-law for talking about you.
You have high standards. You look down on this one and dislike that one. After picking and choosing, you finally choose an older educated youth.
At her age, in our production team, she would have had several children and they would be old enough to go to school.
Once this one leaves, we'll have to spend money to marry you another one, but our family doesn't have the money."
The old man knocked his cigarette butt on the edge of the kang and said,
“Third brother’s wife, your legs are on your body, we can’t stop you even if we want to.
Even if I break your legs and don't let you walk, I can't stop you.
After all, no one in our family can watch over you 24 hours a day.
Besides, it’s against the law and we can’t do it.”
"Dad, are we going to let her go like this?" someone said dissatisfiedly.
"Don't interrupt me when I'm talking. Just listen to me."
"Old Third's family, you can leave if you want. Just pay us back the money we spent on Old Third's wife, and we'll let you go.
The money I spent on marrying you could have been used to marry two wives for the third son.
If he hadn't taken a fancy to you, we wouldn't have spent so much extra money."
Someone nearby murmured, "It wasn't Third Brother who fell in love with her, it was clearly her who used some tricks.
Third brother is just a fool, he lets people cheat him."
Liu Zhaodi didn't expect that she would be bombarded by these people just because she was distracted for a moment.
But when she thought about the means she had used to get married as soon as possible, she felt relieved.
The college entrance examination has been resumed and I have this expression again. Considering what happened before, it is no wonder that they misunderstood me.
Liu Zhaodi's silence was considered as consent by others present.
"Third wife, speak quickly. Are you planning to take the college entrance examination and leave our home?" Seeing that Liu Zhaodi did not answer, the old man raised his voice and looked at Liu Zhaodi sternly.
Realizing that she might not be able to stay in this house if she didn't speak up, Liu Zhaodi immediately collected her thoughts and carefully considered her answer.
“I never thought about taking the college entrance examination.
Didn’t the broadcast just say that you have to at least graduate from junior high school before you can take the college entrance examination?
I just graduated from primary school and I am not qualified to take the college entrance examination.”
"Didn't they say that educated youth should go to the countryside? Since you have graduated from primary school, you are also an educated youth and can go to the countryside, too?"
Liu Zhaodi smiled bitterly, "My family favors boys over girls, and the quota to go to the countryside was originally for my brother, but he didn't want to go.
My mother signed me up so that I could replace my brother and go to the countryside."
I originally thought that what I said could win me some sympathy, but unexpectedly, my father-in-law, who was the head of the family, nodded in agreement.
"The man who is the head of the family should naturally be kept by your side.
Girls are going to get married anyway, so if you go to the countryside, just think of it as marrying far away. It doesn’t matter if you can’t come back home for a few years.”
Liu Zhaodi almost vomited blood.
Well, she just forgot that favoring boys over girls is a basic practice in this era.
Not to mention that in the countryside where people rely on physical labor to make a living, the idea of favoring girls over boys is probably more serious than in the city.
"Since you are not going to take the college entrance examination, will you be at ease living with my third child?" The old man did not let her go and continued to ask.
Liu Zhaodi smiled bitterly, "I'm already this age, and I'm already married, how can I not live a peaceful life?"
Even if she gets divorced now and remarries, she is already old, this is her second marriage, and she can't leave here. What good options does she have?
As for the life of the Red Star Production Team, it is getting better day by day.
The man she married was pretty good to her, so there was still hope for her life.
As for the college entrance examination, I can't count on it, but I hope that my children will be able to get into university and see the world in the future.
