In the crowd, a woman holding a child also spoke.
"That is, if you are someone who doesn't work, how can you be qualified to attend the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University?
Niu Cuihua had been watching in the crowd for a long time and could no longer bear it. She originally wanted to let her granddaughter solve the problem herself.
At this moment, she didn't care anymore and stood up to start a fight.
"All of you, my family is willing to support my granddaughter, what does it have to do with you? You all just mind your own business.
When someone heard what Niu Cuihua said, their eyes looked sad.
Li Mingxi saw the woman holding the child and shouted, "Isn't this Shen Mengli?" She still remembered that when she was a child, she was almost killed by a wild boar because of this woman.
Very good, both of these are out.
Looking at these people in front of him, Li Mingxi immediately understood that this rumor was spread through the efforts of many people!
In that case, don't blame her for not giving them face.
She snorted coldly, "What's it to you if I don't go to work? Am I eating your food? Or drinking your water?"
"I was wondering why that incident from that day is being brought up again. It turns out it was all your doing, your goal was to prevent me from attending Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University. Isn't that funny?"
As soon as he said this, Li Mingxi saw that several educated youths blushed and secretly lowered their heads.
Well, needless to say, this group of people participated.
Li Mingxi guessed that this group of educated youth had probably known about the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University for a long time.
I am their biggest rival, that's why these people keep biting me!
When Li Mingxi thought of this, he felt extremely angry. Who had he offended?
So, she glanced at everyone present and spoke directly.
"I'm just saying this today. I don't want to compete with you for a place at the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University. Also, those who spread rumors about me, be careful."
Li Dashu, who was standing by, looked at Li Mingxi and guessed that she would say something harsh or something.
Who knew that this girl said something harsh, but she also said that she would not go to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University. Is this okay?
Li Dashu suddenly became anxious and kept winking at Li Mingxi.
Unexpectedly, Li Mingxi ignored him, so he just spoke.
"Xiao Xi, you can't say that. What others say about you is their business. Anyway, I believe in you. Why not go to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University? Just go. Listen to me. What a great opportunity."
Li Mingxi knew that Li Dashu was doing this for her own good, but she really didn't want to go.
So, she said directly, "Uncle, I really don't want to go to that Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University. Besides, I'm still young and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future!"
When Uncle Li heard Li Mingxi say this, he was a little bit dissatisfied.
"That's not what you said. You said you were the smartest kid in our area. You must have learned more in college than your brother Dalin and the others!"
Someone on the side agreed, "Exactly, Xiaoxi, why don't you go? What a great opportunity, a smart kid like you should go!"
"That's right, that's right, just go ahead, maybe you can lead us all to a good life then!"
Li Mingxi looked around at the members who cared about him and was deeply moved.
But he said, "Really, there's no need, aunties and uncles, I really don't want to go, so let's just listen to what the captain says!"
At this time, Li Tiezhu, who had been silent all the time, also spoke.
"Okay, since Xiaoxi said she doesn't want to, stop trying to persuade her. Let's get on with this."
"Let's all pick two from the people I just mentioned. Each family can only pick one. Okay, let's start now."
Just as everyone was about to vote, Shen Mengli jumped out again.
She yelled, "No, Captain, this is unfair. Why aren't there any educated youth? We are also members of our team, so why don't we have a chance?"
Song Yulan also stood up and said, "That's right, Captain, if you don't give us educated youth a chance, we will go to the commune and sue you!"
Some of the educated youth became excited when they heard Song Yulan say this.
When Li Tiezhu heard someone threatening to report him to the commune, he was not afraid.
Anyway, he is old and it is time for him to retire. Besides, what can these educated youth do?
Even if they really sue, the secretary will definitely be on their side.
Thinking of this, he glared at the group of educated youth and said, "It's up to you. Complain all you want!"
Song Yulan said this just to scare Li Tiezhu.
Now that he seemed to not care at all, she thought of what her father had said to him when they went to the countryside, and she began to feel scared.
Several educated youth who were eager to try also lowered their heads and dared not say a word.
Between survival and future, they chose something more practical.
In this way, the places at the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University were finally reserved for Dalin and Li Hongying.
The two who weren’t selected didn’t think it was a big deal, since they didn’t want to go anyway.
The educated youth were somewhat dissatisfied. They felt angry that the team leader didn't consider them at all for such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
There were also some smart people who thought that since there were places available at the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University this year.
It is inevitable that this will happen next year. Since the team says that they are not members of the team, wouldn’t it be great if they became members of the team?
For a time, many unmarried educated youth began to think about marrying villagers.
In the period that followed, educated youth from the brigade continued to marry local people.
Li Mingxi was clear about the trajectory of historical development. She knew that after the country resumed the college entrance examination.
A wave of divorces swept across the country, and countless educated youth abandoned their wives and children in the countryside.
Even if Li Mingxi wanted to intervene in this phenomenon, there was nothing he could do.
The trend is unstoppable.
Li Mingxi suddenly remembered that he had not been to the county town for a long time.
Then, she thought of Old Man Wang’s injury last time, and wondered if it had healed.
Li Mingxi was a little worried and thought about going to the county town to see him.
Li Mingxi considered that the location of the scrap station was rather remote, so the next day, at dawn, she rode her bike straight to the county town.
Before arriving at the place, Li Mingxi saw Old Man Wang sitting at the door of the scrap station with his head down.
Li Mingxi wondered, could it be that this old man fell asleep?
But, don’t people say that old people don’t sleep enough?
Or is this person unconscious?
Thinking of this, Li Mingxi became a little anxious and stepped harder to stare at the car.
He then stopped the car at the door and ran towards Old Man Wang.
But Li Mingxi hadn't even come close yet.
Old man Wang, who had been keeping his head down, suddenly spoke up, "I told you what you want, but I don't have it. Go away and don't come back!"
These words scared Li Mingxi so much that he dared not move!
At this time, he said again, "Why don't you leave?"
Li Mingxi asked doubtfully, "Old Wang, what are you talking about?"
Hearing the familiar female voice, Old Man Wang looked up in confusion and found that the person in front of him was Li Mingxi.
Seeing that it was not that person, Old Man Wang's originally cold expression gradually softened.
