In order to let Li Mingxi finish speaking quickly, Wumao nodded in agreement.
When Li Mingxi saw his expression, she knew that he was deliberately perfunctory to her, but she didn't care and just continued with what she was saying.
"Anyway, whether you believe it or not, what I said is true!"
"And I came to you today because I really think that since you want to research ways to increase food production, you should learn more experience. However, the experience of our older generation is simply not enough to support the ideas in your head!"
When Li Mingxi said this, he saw Wumao Ge looking at him intently, as if he had really listened to him.
"Therefore, I think that for the sake of your dream, you should go to an agricultural university and study hard. Maybe you'll soon find a way to increase food production!"
Having said that, fearing that Wumao Ge might not understand, Li Mingxi spoke directly.
"You might not think what I'm saying is right, but take the educated youth in our village for example. Because they have knowledge, they can quickly learn to drive a tractor, while those without it can't. The same is true for farming, don't you think? Brother Wumao?"
"Brother Wumao, you really can't rely on yourself like this! Think about it, if you keep researching on your own like this, who knows how long it will take you to figure it out. But if you go to college, it will be different. Professionals do professional things. You will definitely learn more in college than here!"
After a pause, Li Mingxi continued speaking.
"Anyway, I think that since you have this idea in mind, you should work hard to realize it, right? Brother Wumao, maybe by then, you can lead everyone in our village to live a good life!"
Hearing this, Wumao was so scared that he waved his hands repeatedly, "Don't say that, I don't have that much ability!"
"That's not certain. Who knows what the future will be like, don't you think?"
Wumao nodded and said, "You're right!"
When Li Mingxi heard that Wumao agreed, he immediately smiled knowingly!
Just as he was about to speak, he saw Wumao looking at him with an embarrassed expression.
"Xiao Xi, I want to go to school, to that Agricultural University, but you know I'm not a good student. I haven't looked at the textbooks in a few years, so I've probably forgotten everything. Do you think I can make it?"
After a pause, he continued.
"Otherwise, forget it. I don't have that ability anyway. Besides, I'm just talking. It's fine as it is now!"
"This is all I'm going to end up like in my life. What's the point of even dreaming about it? Forget it, Xiaoxi, just leave me alone and study hard!"
After saying this, he picked up his hoe and was about to leave.
In just a short while, his overall state changed from full of confidence to a walking corpse.
Li Mingxi looked at his decadent appearance and felt sorry for him.
Therefore, when she saw Wumao was about to leave, she spoke directly.
"Brother Wumao, don't leave so quickly!"
Seeing Li Mingxi calling him, Wumao turned around and looked at her with a puzzled expression.
Under the puzzled gaze of the Wumao, Li Mingxi spoke.
"Brother Wumao, you're always so impatient! I haven't even finished what I'm saying. Think about it, since I came to you specifically, you must have made plans!"
Wumao still looked dejected. "Xiaoxi, don't say anything. I still have to go to work. You should go home and study!"
Seeing him like this, Li Mingxi stamped his feet in anxiety.
"Hey, Brother Wumao, can you cheer up a little and stop being like this!"
Wumao looked up at Li Mingxi, not understanding what his little cousin wanted to say to him.
"Don't worry, as long as you decide to study, I will definitely help you. I've even made a study plan for you these past few days! As long as you study hard, you will definitely have no problem getting into Agricultural University!"
These words kept echoing in Wumao's mind. In a trance, he felt that he was probably hallucinating!
Thinking this in his mind, he exerted force with his hand and pinched himself hard.
Then he saw Li Mingxi looking at him anxiously.
"Brother Wumao, let me ask you, are you going to learn or not?"
"Learn! I'll learn, Xiaoxi, I'll learn!"
He answered quickly and urgently, as if Li Mingxi would be unwilling to teach him if he was even a second late!
After saying this, he looked at Li Mingxi embarrassedly again.
"I'm stupid, Xiaoxi. I might have wasted a lot of your time. Otherwise, just leave me alone!"
Hearing his words, Li Mingxi laughed.
"Don't worry, Brother Wumao. Since I've said so, I naturally won't think you're stupid. Besides, you're not stupid, it's just that you haven't been focusing on your studies before!"
Wumao looked at Li Mingxi in disbelief. "Really? Why wouldn't I believe you?"
Li Mingxi nodded calmly, "Really? When you were in school, you just played around every day. How could you learn well? Am I right?"
Wumao couldn't remember whether it was really like what Li Mingxi said when he was in school. Therefore, he nodded uncertainly and said hesitantly, "It should be true, but I don't know!"
"That's it, don't worry, as long as you study hard, you will definitely learn it this time!"
Wumao doesn't understand whether it will be just like what Li Mingxi said, but he really doesn't understand anything about studying, so he believes whatever Li Mingxi says!
From that day on, Wumao would take his textbooks to Li Mingxi's house every day and ask her to help him with his studies!
In order to make full use of his time, he brought textbooks to work and used his break time to study. He seemed like a different person!
So hardworking!
At first, the villagers just thought he was addicted to reading, until one day, someone passed by him while he was working and heard him reciting a book.
The man was stunned at that time!
He looked at Wumao in shock. When had he ever seen such a hardworking person?
He was working and still memorizing the book!
Soon, the news spread throughout the team, and then some people started discussing it secretly.
"What do you think of this Wumao? He's reading a book out of the blue? Is he going to take the college entrance exam? But that shouldn't be the case. I remember him barely finishing junior high school. How can he possibly go to college with this?"
An old lady nearby was immediately displeased when she heard her say this. "Hey, don't say that! I think Wumao is a very smart kid. Look how hard he works. And sometimes, when he sees I can't lift something, he helps me out! I'm sure he'll pass the exam!"
Another person echoed.
"That's right. I think his enthusiasm for study is even greater than those educated youth! Besides, he is from our own brigade. Anyway, I think he will be much better than those educated youth if he passes the exam!"
