Gu Yunyang is quite humorous.
Gu Yunyang said something, and the two passed each other. Fu Shuhua naturally knew what to do.
Gu Yunyang had previously shown him goodwill, and now it was time for Fu Shuhua to repay the favor.
Gu Yunyang didn't speak, but it was as if he had already said everything.
Three days later, a group of people came to the commune to take the exam.
This exam saw the largest number of test takers in the commune in recent years.
There's nothing we can do for those who can't read.
Gu Yunyang refused to agree to the request from the Red Flag Brigade for this very reason.
Those people brought a few eggs, maybe a chicken at most, and wanted him to help them register the names.
They don't even know if they can read or not.
This time, there was no requirement that applicants must be high school graduates, but they should at least know some characters.
You definitely need to answer the questions yourself.
Fortunately, although Gu's older sisters hadn't received much formal education, they weren't completely illiterate, which is why Gu Yunyang suggested they all sign up.
In fact, this alone eliminates most people.
The literacy rate was still not very high in this era.
After this, many people realized that reading was not entirely useless.
While talking to Gu Yunyang, Hao Jianshe remarked, "I've heard some people say that if recruitment continues like this, they'll also need to arrange for their children to go to school. They don't want to miss out on opportunities later. This is just a small contribution we're making to education."
Gu Yunyang smiled and said, "This is nothing."
Even with just one factory hiring, those people don't have time to send their children to school now.
If there are no continuous job opportunities in the future, many people in rural areas, and even urban residents, will be unwilling to send their children to school.
Reading costs money.
And if the child goes to school, what will happen to the housework?
Nobody does it anymore.
Girls, in particular, have never been favored by their parents and are truly neglected in this era.
In addition, girls in families usually not only have to take care of their younger siblings, but also have to take care of housework.
For example, in the village, the girls not only have to wash clothes and cook, but also cut pig feed.
Every household raised at least one task pig.
They might also raise a pig for a year.
You can actually raise multiple task pigs, provided that once you accept the task, you have to sell the pig to the purchasing station; you can't slaughter it yourself or sell it privately.
Under such circumstances, it is really difficult for a girl to go to school.
Unless it's someone like Chen Xiangrong, an only child.
Children tend to be playful, and many boys are unwilling to study. If parents spoil them a bit, then there's no point in worrying about their studies.
However, Gu Yunyang would not say anything about these things.
The list of accepted students was released the next day.
Gu Honglan took leave early in the morning and came over with several of her friends to check.
In any case, at least one of the sisters will be accepted.
Taking a day off is worthwhile.
"Hurry up, right now... Huh? It's already posted. Let's see if anyone got accepted. Second sister, I saw your name."
"Great! And my little sister too, you two have both been accepted."
