By the time Lin Laosan got home, it was completely dark.

The Lin family had already eaten dinner, but were still sitting in the yard.

Shen Wenfang got furious when he saw Lin Laosan coming back.

"Where the hell have you been fooling around again? Can't you just stay home and rest?"

Lin Laosan felt guilty and didn't dare to answer. He deliberately covered his stomach and changed the subject:

"Oh, I'm starving. Mom, is there any food in the pot?"

Seeing him like this, Shen Wenfang had no choice but to let him go for the time being.

"There's porridge left for you in the pot, go get it yourself."

Upon hearing this, Lin Laosan immediately ran straight to the kitchen.

He didn't lie. He had walked such a long way to and from the county town that he was already starving.

It was only after Lin Laosan sat down with his bowl of rice that he remembered to ask Lin Weiguo about his afternoon.

"Dad, have you guys decided on the scorekeeper? What are you going to do?"

Lin Weiguo took a puff of his cigarette before answering.

"We were just discussing this. Our brigade discussed it for an entire afternoon and finally decided to adopt an exam format. Whoever scores well will be admitted. This way, we'll see if anyone has any objections."

Upon hearing this, Lin Laosan almost spit out the porridge he had just drunk from laughing.

"Dad, what kind of stupid idea are you guys coming up with? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at? You're just a little marker and you need to take an exam? Is it really that serious?"

Lin Weiguo was so angry that he was about to hit someone, but Lin Laosan raised his butt and quickly dodged.

"Dad, we can talk, but can you please not resort to violence if you can't win the argument?"

Lin Weiguo snorted coldly, but still withdrew his hand that was about to hit someone.

"Then tell me, why are you laughing so hard during a test? Who else will be the scorekeeper?"

"Accountant Zheng said his daughter could do it, the women's director said her nephew could do it, and then the old branch secretary said his grandson could do it, too. And then everyone in the brigade came knocking."

"Tell me, is there any better idea than this?"

Forehead……

Lin Laosan was stunned. This matter seemed to be really difficult to handle. There should be no fairer method than taking an exam.

But he suddenly thought of something else.

"That's not right, Dad. If you're going to have an exam, you might as well just let the educated youth do it. Is there anyone in our brigade who can beat the educated youth?"

At this point, the thought of Lin Laosan's death immediately rekindled. He quickly put down his bowl, squatted in front of Lin Weiguo, and smiled flatteringly.

"Dad, since the final scorekeeping job can only be done by those educated youth, why not give it directly to Shi Zhiqing?"

"The educated youth Shi has done a great deed today. Not only did he save your son, me, but he also saved Accountant Zheng's Jinbao. Shouldn't you express your gratitude to Accountant Zheng?"

"I think the scorekeeper job is pretty good, and it's perfect for Shi Zhiqing to do."

Shen Wenfang, who was standing next to him, couldn't stand it any longer and punched Lin Laosan in the head.

"Shi Zhiqing, Shi Zhiqing, you only care about Shi Zhiqing now, and you even forgot about your little sister, right?"

Lin Laosan covered his head and cried out that it was unfair.

"Mom, you can't blame me for this. If you want to blame someone, blame Dad and the others. They had so many ideas that they had to come up with an exam. Even if you love my little sister so much, you can't say that my little sister can pass the exam better than those educated youth, right?"

Lin Weiguo finally couldn't help it, and pushed Lin Laosan away, saying impatiently:

"Who told you those educated youth took the exam? You're already screaming before I even finished listening!"

"Ah? The educated youth can't participate? Then they won't make a fuss?"

Lin Laosan was a little confused.

"How could there not be a commotion? They started making a commotion right after I gave them the notice."

"But even if they bring this to the Youth League Office, it's useless. How can these outsiders be scorekeepers?"

"But I also promised them that in the future, I will give priority to these educated youth for lighter work in the fields."

"And to appease those educated youth, we also agreed that those female educated youth who married into the brigade could take the exam."

"Luckily, Captain Cao at the educated youth camp was a reasonable person. He figured it out and helped to appease them. Otherwise, they would never have stopped."

"But Zhou Zhiqing and Sun Zhiqing are no match for each other. They're the worst offenders, arguing endlessly."

Lin Weiguo's head started to ache when he thought of the scene that night.

Hearing this, Lin Lao San became excited again, and hurriedly and attentively massaged Lin Weiguo's shoulders and back, with a flattering look on his face.

"Well, Dad, since the scorekeeper job isn't working for you, you can assign Shi Zhiqing another easy job."

"Look at Shi Zhiqing's delicate skin and tender flesh. He must be unable to do farm work just like my younger sister."

Lin Ran, who was sitting next to Shen Wenfang, frowned when she heard this. If you want to repay Shi Yan, then repay him. What does it have to do with her?

Even Lin Weiguo couldn't stand Lin Laosan's behavior and drove him away in disgust.

"Alright, alright, don't I already know how much Shi Zhiqing has contributed? Do I really need you to teach me how to do things?"

Knowing that Lin Weiguo meant to agree, Lin Laosan finally put his worries aside and began to ask about the exam.

"By the way, Dad, who will write the exam papers for this time? If those educated youth don't participate, my sister's chances are still very good."

"After all, the highest level of education in our entire brigade is junior high school, but it's hard to say for the female educated youth who married into the brigade."

Speaking of Lin Ran, I have a headache. She was the most talented woman in the capital in her previous life, but now she has fallen to the point where her cultural level is not as good as others.

What she was most worried about was that she might not even be able to compare with those in the team who had the same academic qualifications as her.

Because she has only barely mastered elementary school knowledge, she cannot understand many symbols in junior high school textbooks, especially mathematics.

The fact that she failed the exam was secondary. The main thing was that she, as the most talented woman, could not afford to lose face.
