Chapter 52 Reading
During the past few days at home, Shen Long usually exercised for a while when he got up in the morning, and then checked the studies of his younger siblings. Li Erni and Li Kuiying were still able to keep up with their studies. Li Dani had less time to read while jumping in line, so she was relatively a little tired. After struggling, Li Kuiyang pulled more people down. As for Li Kuiyuan, judging from the situation in the letter, Shen Long no longer had any hope.
Hey, forget it, it is really unrealistic for all six brothers to go to college. Anyway, the policy will be slowly relaxed after returning to the city. There must be someone in the family who can make money in business. Then we can help them find a way. .
After leaving some money for their families, Shen Long and Qin Ling returned to Baidian Village. Now they were the only two educated youths in the village. The others were either taken away by their families or went to work in the coal mines.
The first thing they did when they returned to the village was to go through the marriage formalities. It was a green light all the way from the village to the countryside. It took them two days to get the marriage certificate. Shen Long also showed a trick to get the educated youth who came back from the coal mine to , the folks from Baidian Village and Zheng Tong, Jiang Biyun and others from Ishikawa Village had a great time.
From then on, the two of them could live together openly. In order to celebrate their marriage, Shen Long made a special trip to Xi'an and bought Qin Ling a violin. Every night, Shen Long read in the cave while Qin Ling practiced and sang. , the life passed happily.
On this day, Zheng Tong came to the educated youth spot in Baidian Village again. Shen Long thought he was here to borrow books again. After listening to Zheng Tong talking around for a long time, he realized that he was here to ask Shen Long how to get cigarettes and alcohol. For tickets, Zheng Tong usually doesn’t have much to spend, but he does have some money. But buying things at this time not only requires money, but also various receipts, especially tobacco and alcohol tickets. These are rare things and Zheng Tong cannot get them by himself. I had no choice but to come find Shen Long.
Is this a gift to Chang Gui, the party secretary of Ishikawa Village, so that he can recommend him to go to university? Shen Long understood.
As he said before, it is impossible for a country to not need intellectuals. From the year before last to last year, some pilot colleges and universities enrolled 42,000 people. This year, they began to officially recruit "worker, peasant and soldier students". The enrollment is based on mass recommendation, leadership approval and A method that combines school assessment.
Recommendation from the masses was the first level. Zheng Tong remembered that he and Zhong Yuemin had cheated on Chang Gui, the village party secretary of Shichuan Village, and was afraid that he would not recommend him, so he thought of giving gifts.
Shen Long didn't say anything. He took out some cigarette and alcohol tickets from the box and gave them to Zheng Tong. Zheng Tong thanked him and left, but Shen Long knew that these gifts were destined to be meat buns to beat dogs. Chang Gui did not recommend any of them. people.
What he did was a bit unkind, but considering that Zheng Tong had not done much for the village since he came to Ishikawa Village. He just stayed in the cave and read books all day long. When he heard the news about recruiting workers, peasants and soldiers, he was just thinking about it. Moreover, he only gave gifts to himself and did not intend to help Jiang Biyun, so the matter was not handled well.
Before there was any news from Zheng Tong, Shen Long rushed to Tucheng Commune for a meeting. The focus of this meeting was to discuss the recommended quota of worker, peasant and soldier trainees in Tucheng Commune this year.
Before Shen Long could speak, Bai Mingchuan, deputy secretary of the commune, raised his hand first, "Um, I recommend one. After much deliberation, no one in the entire Tucheng Commune is more qualified to get this quota than Comrade Li Kuiyong. Comrade Kuiyong has been After coming to our Tucheng Commune, it can be said that the commune looks different every day, from the sales agency, the medical point, the school, to the biogas digester, the silt dam, and of course the coal mine. Comrade Kui Yong has done a lot for our commune. thing."
"Actually, to be honest, I still want Comrade Kui Yong to stay in Tucheng Commune. In just over three years, Tucheng Commune has become what it is now. In the past, who would have dared to think about it? What if Comrade Kui Yong If we stay here for another three to five years, Tucheng Commune will probably be better than the county seat!"
"But as human beings, we have to compare our feelings with our own. Comrade Kui Yong has done so much for the commune and sacrificed so much. We can no longer be greedy. Other educated youth recruiters and those who are studying are all leaving. I think Comrade Kui Yong It’s time to go to school and go to university, let’s not delay his future.”
Bai Mingchuan kept wiping tears after saying that. To be honest, he was reluctant to leave Shen Long, but he had been tied up in Tucheng Commune, and Bai Mingchuan's conscience couldn't bear it.
"That's the truth. Not only Comrade Kui Yong, but Comrade Qin Ling is also good. The children in our commune are more alert than the last." Everyone nodded in agreement, and the people in Tucheng commune were heartbroken. There is a scale, and they know who is good to them. Shen Long has done too many good things. Qin Ling has also done his duty in school in the past few years. They will always remember this.
Everyone was talking to help Shen Long and Qin Ling put in good words. Finally, the senior township party official made the final decision, "Then the places to study at Northwest University will be given to the two of them! No one has any objections, right?"
"Secretary, I have an opinion!" Shen Long raised his hand and spoke, his eye circles a little red, "Thank you comrades for your kindness, I just did such a small thing, it's hard for everyone to remember."
"Why is it such a small thing? You don't even think about what our village was like when you first came to Baidian Village? What is it like now?" Seeing this posture, Bai Mingchuan suddenly became anxious. Shouldn't you do it again? Decline? "The village is getting better and better now. I don't need to trouble you anymore. Just go and study without any worries!"
"The check dam in the village has not been completed yet, and afforestation has just started this year. As the village party secretary, how can I be a deserter?" Shen Long said and refused to agree, and finally gave up these two places to others. .
In fact, in his heart, it's not that Shen Long doesn't want to go to college, but... he wants to go to a better university. Northwest University is considered good in the northwest region, but there is still a certain gap between it and top universities such as Shuimu University and Yenching University, and There are still various problems in recruiting workers, peasants and soldiers. They are still affected by the existing political situation, and there is some chaos in the school.
The most important point is that Shen Longqian's hometown majored in computer science, and the computer department of Northwest University was just established last year and has almost nothing. Qinling naturally wants to study music, and Northwest University does not have this major now.
It will not be until next year that top art schools such as the Central Conservatory of Music and the Chinese Opera School will recruit workers, peasants and soldiers. Shen Long plans to see if he can find a way to get a place for Qinling next year.
