Chapter 114: Resuming the College Entrance Examination



Zhang Guilan was busy at home preparing the things her son-in-law Zhang Hongwei would need to go to university in the city. Suddenly, someone from above came and said that there was something strange about how he got the place and that he had been reported. Now he had to come down for a review according to the rules.

After hearing this, Tian Shouyi felt a chill on his back.

But he didn't dare show it on his face and still looked calm.

Moreover, as the secretary, he should have taken these people to visit and investigate.

But Zhang Hongwei is his son-in-law, and his identity is awkward now, so he needs to avoid suspicion.

So in the end he assigned Wei Donglai from the Youth League Office to go with him in the investigation. Originally he wanted to assign a relative named Tian to go with him, but his plan was obvious to the leader, so in the end he had to settle for the second best and chose Wei Donglai.

Wei Donglai was so happy when he got this job that he almost jumped up.

Working with these people only requires running errands and talking, but it's not too easy.

He was really exhausted from working in the fields every day and had wanted to take a break for a long time, but he was a man and a young man, and the main labor force in the village.

We are really short of people working right now, so we'll catch whoever we can, so unless it's a matter of life and death, don't even think about asking for leave or skipping work.

In the words of the secretary, anyone who can still breathe should go to work in the fields.

This time, Wei Donglai finally had the chance to skip work openly, and he couldn't ask for more.

After everyone left, Zhang Guilan was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground. She pulled the old man aside and asked, "What should we do? School is about to start. Will Hongwei's place be ruined if this happens?"

She had boasted to everyone in the village that her son-in-law would go to the city to work in the future, and when he settled down, she, the mother-in-law, would definitely go with him to enjoy the good life.

No matter how much she boasted back then, if anything goes wrong now, she will be in trouble.

If Zhang Hongwei can't go at that time, she will be laughed to death by everyone in the village.

Tian Shouyi knew her cunning ways and snorted, "You're afraid this thing will fail and you won't be able to brag to others anymore."

He left after saying this.

Zhang Guilan called out a few times from behind, but the old man ignored her and no one knew where he went.

Zhang Guilan was so anxious at home that she was running around in circles. Finally, she had no choice but to go outside and call her daughter back.

Zhang Hongwei was still in school and had no idea what was happening at home. He was in class when someone suddenly came up to him and told him that his father-in-law wanted to talk to him about something.

He was stunned at the time. After all, his family rarely came to disturb him at work, and even if there was something, they could wait for him to come home and talk about it.

Somehow, he had a vague sense of foreboding in his heart.

He gave the students homework and asked them to study on their own before going out.

As soon as I went out, I saw Tian Shouyi standing at the school gate with a drooping brow, pacing back and forth, looking very annoyed.

Zhao Hongwei walked over quickly and asked, "Dad, why are you here?"

Tian Shouyi looked around and saw that no one was around. He pulled the man aside and asked in a low voice, "Let me ask you, did you clean up your mess last time?"

"Dad, why are you asking about this all of a sudden?"

He waved his hand. "Someone from above came today and said someone reported that there was something fishy about how you got this spot."

Zhao Hongwei almost peed his pants when he heard this.

His face turned pale immediately, and he stammered, "Did they say anything?"

Tian Shouyi shook his head: "They haven't said anything yet. Now they are going to conduct group interviews and investigations."

Zhao Hongwei pinched his fingers, and his fingertips turned white.

When he gave food to those people this year, he had already made it clear to them that they would receive 300 kilograms of food every year for three years.

In order to avoid any further complications, he gave away next year's food all at once. Originally it was 600 kilograms, but when those people saw that they could easily come up with so much food, they wanted to go back on their word. In the end, he had no choice but to add another 400 kilograms.

I originally thought that once this incident was over, the matter would be completely resolved.

Who knew that those people were greedy and two-faced, taking food from him while secretly trying to trip him up.

However, if this kind of thing gets out, they will be in trouble, so even if they expose it, they dare not do it openly.

So he can't lose his composure now.

After thinking this through, Zhao Hongwei gave his father a few more instructions, and then let him go back to do what he was supposed to do.

Although the people from above were just conducting a routine investigation, some sharp-eyed people still smelled something fishy.

Li Dazui is the one who loves to join in the fun, so she naturally wouldn't miss such a big event.

Now that she's off work, she doesn't even go home to cook, but just follows people around everywhere.

It was originally a random thing, but after she exaggerated it, the whole village now knows about it.

If Tian Shouyi hadn't been watching Zhang Guilan and preventing her from going out to cause trouble, she would have wanted to go out and tear Li Dazui's mouth apart immediately.

Recently, the wooden wheelbarrow that Chu Yue asked Uncle Tao to make for the two brothers was completed, so they had something to do every day and didn't bother her much. She was so focused on making sweet potato noodles at home that she had no idea what was happening outside.

It was Chu Yue who came back and told her today.

No need to ask, he must have been told by that loudmouth Wei Donglai.

It’s just that they don’t care about the number of places in the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, so it doesn’t matter to them who goes.

Moreover, by October, news about the college entrance examination will come from above. By then, the university you can go to through the college entrance examination will be much better than the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University. Only those with short-sightedness will fight for this place.

The person with shallow eyelids is Zhang Guilan.

When she was feeling complacent at home.

Before long, news of the country's resumption of the college entrance examination spread from all directions.

Moreover, the country had suspended examinations for ten years and now resumed them in one fell swoop. Almost all intellectuals across the country cheered.

Especially for those educated youth who came to the countryside, the college entrance examination is now their only shortcut to return to the city and also the way for them to change their own destiny.

The country is now in a state of disrepair and all walks of life are eager to recruit talents. They are also encouraging all qualified people regardless of age to participate.

For a while, everyone in the village was discussing this matter.

I heard that when the people in the Youth League Office heard the news, they stopped working and buried themselves in their books, starting to review every minute.

After all, there are only more than two months left until the exam from now on.

They haven't read for a long time and have forgotten a lot of what they learned. Now they have to work day and night to start reviewing.

There is no doubt that the number of people taking the college entrance examination this year will be extremely large, so the competition will be extremely fierce.
