That night, the adults in the Li family were so excited that they couldn't sleep most of the night.
Similarly, Li Mingxi didn't sleep well either. She was thinking about whether she should go to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University.
Early the next morning, Niu Cuihua couldn't contain her excitement and told Li Mingxi the news directly.
She originally thought that her granddaughter would be excited and happy when she knew she could go to college, but the child said she didn't want to go.
Now, Niu Cuihua became anxious.
"Xiao Xi, tell me, haven't you always wanted to go to college? Now that you finally have this opportunity, why don't you go?"
Li Tiezhu also spoke up eagerly, "That's right, Xiaoxi, do you know what it would mean to you if you went to college?"
Li Mingxi knew the importance of going to college, but she thought that according to the trajectory of historical development, the college entrance examination would be resumed in two years.
By that time, the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University had no advantages at all.
By the time you graduate, it will be difficult to find a job.
But now, she couldn't tell her family directly that she was going to take the college entrance examination.
Even if I told them, I guess they wouldn’t believe it!
She could only make excuses for herself, "Master, I know I will have a decent job after I go to college, but I can't bear to leave you."
Niu Cuihua scolded, "What are you talking about? Just because of such a small matter, you won't go? No, listen to grandma. Grandma's greatest wish in this life is to see you go to college!"
Li Mingxi was very moved when he heard Niu Cuihua's words.
"Grandma, I know you want me to go to college, and I want to, too. But I always feel that if the country wants to develop, it can't always allow people to go to college."
"Besides, even if I go there now, there's no guarantee there will be a teacher. Think about it, there's a university professor in the cowshed in our village, isn't there?"
Niu Cuihua agreed when she thought about it. Now that all university professors have been demoted, how many good teachers can there be?
But she still didn't want to give up, "Then you have to go too, it's always good to see the world, right?"
Li Mingxi stepped forward and pulled Niu Cuihua's arm.
"What's so good about it? There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Besides, even if I want to go, I have to get the villagers' approval. Who can guarantee that others won't want to go? Right?"
Niu Cuihua looked embarrassed. "You are right, but didn't you say before that you wanted to go to college? If you miss this opportunity, you will never have the chance to go to college in the future. What will you do?"
Li Mingxi thought, how could there not be opportunities in the future? But she knew that her family didn't know.
So, she comforted him, "It's okay. Even if I go to college, I will rely on my own ability, not on this kind of recommendation."
"Xiao Xi is right. It's better for us not to go to this kind of university," echoed Old Man Li.
"Can,"
Niu Cuihua was about to say something but was interrupted by Li Mingxi.
"Oh, grandma, please stop talking. I'm not going to this university anyway. Whoever falls in love can go."
Niu Cuihua compromised, "Okay, since you said so, I won't persuade you anymore."
"Since you don't want to go, I will go and explain it to the captain so that he doesn't have to worry about this matter." After saying this, the old man Li left.
Old man Li found Li Tiezhu and told him directly about Li Mingxi's decision.
Li Tiezhu was very confused when he heard that Li Mingxi was unwilling to go.
He really couldn't understand why he didn't seize such a good opportunity right in front of him?
Later, Li Tiezhu figured it out. Since the child could say this, it meant that he was confident.
Maybe one day the previous exam will be brought up again, then he will have to think about this carefully.
Li Mingxi was unwilling to go to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, so the Li family no longer worried about it.
That day, Li Mingxi was in the house helping Niu Cuihua make clothes.
Zhang Xiuzhi came over, sweating profusely, looking extremely anxious.
As soon as she entered the main room, she said directly, "Mom, you still have time to make clothes!"
Niu Cuihua put down her needlework and said, "What's wrong? What happened? You look so anxious!"
Zhang Xiuzhi looked at Li Mingxi and nodded at Niu Cuihua.
Li Mingxi understood what his aunt meant and stood up to leave, but Niu Cuihua grabbed his arm.
Niu Cuihua: "It's okay, just talk, Xiaoxi being here won't be a problem."
"Okay then, everyone in the village is saying that Xiaoxi is jealous of Sanni and is deliberately ruining her marriage..."
"What? Who said that? Who said that? I must go find her!" Niu Cuihua interrupted Zhang Xiuzhi and was about to walk out angrily.
Zhang Xiuzhi was horrified when she saw her like this.
However, Li Mingxi, who was listening quietly on the side, stepped forward and stopped Niu Cuihua.
"Grandma, don't be angry first, just listen to what Auntie has to say!"
Niu Cuihua snorted coldly, "Okay, you tell me, I want to see what these people say behind my back.
Zhang Xiuzhi spoke nervously, "They also said Xiaoxi was the daughter of a capitalist family, who did nothing all day and still needed to be waited on. People like her should be dragged out for struggle sessions."
It turned out that the incident of Old Lady Li coming to see Niu Cuihua that day was somehow known to the villagers.
Rumors spread all over the place, saying all kinds of things. Some people said that the little granddaughter of Old Li's family was spoiled improperly.
Just because of jealousy towards Sanni, he deliberately ruined her marriage.
Some people say that the little granddaughter of Old Li’s family is really bad. She is just like the capitalists in the old society and can’t stand seeing others have a good life.
When Li Mingxi heard her aunt say this, she finally understood why she had been feeling weird these past few days.
Every day when I go out to the mountains, everyone stays away from me. It turns out it’s because of this!
