Seeing his sister so calm, Li Mingde became restless.
He originally thought that his sister would be extremely happy to hear the news, but he never expected that she would be so indifferent.
For a moment, he really couldn't understand why his sister was like this, so he asked directly.
"Sister, you look unhappy. What's the matter? The college entrance examination is about to be resumed. Are you unhappy?"
At this point, a possibility suddenly occurred to his mind: Could it be that his sister had known about this for a long time?
After all, she often went to the county town, so it was not surprising that she had known the news for a long time!
Thinking of this, he asked directly.
"Sister, tell me the truth, have you known about this for a long time? That's not right, our teacher just found out about it too. As soon as he heard the news, he immediately told us!"
Of course Li Mingxi knew about this a long time ago, but she never mentioned it and just waved her hand indifferently.
"Hey, isn't this inevitable? Do we still need to guess? Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first!"
Li Mingde was a little confused by his sister's actions. She had an exam coming up soon, so shouldn't she be busy reading? Why was she climbing a mountain at this hour? What was there on the mountain?
Therefore, he simply opened his arms and stood in front of Li Mingxi to prevent her from leaving.
He speaks quite reasonably.
"Hey, no, sister, the college entrance examination is about to resume, shouldn't you hurry back to study? What's the matter? You're like this now, do you not want to go to college anymore?"
Li Mingyi got anxious when he heard this and quickly replied, "What are you talking about? How could my sister not want to go to college? If she didn't want to go to college, would she insist on reading all day?"
Li Mingde was a little confused. He scratched his head and asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"But if you want to go to college, why don't you go back and study? Why are you still going up the mountain now?"
Li Mingyi was also full of doubts, but his sister was always right, and what she wanted to do must have her own reasons!
Therefore, he simply patted Li Mingde's arm and spoke with confidence.
"Okay, sister can do whatever she wants, why do you care what she does?"
As he spoke, he dragged Li Mingde into the yard.
"Alright, alright, don't dwell on it. You finally made it home, aren't you tired?"
Seeing his brother like this, Li Mingde had to hold back his doubts.
Here, as soon as he left home, Emperor Li Ming headed straight up the mountain.
She had thought that the news would not come out until autumn, but she didn't expect it to come out so soon. It was only July or August and there was already news. This shows that everyone had plenty of time to prepare!
However, speaking of it, she was really fortunate that she had asked Sisi to prepare for the college entrance examination early on. Otherwise, by the time the news came out and everyone started preparing, wouldn't it be too late?
If you prepare late, you will lose the opportunity. When the time comes, you don’t know how much effort you will have to put in to get a good ranking.
The news spread throughout the commune like the wind, and everyone knew about it.
Although it was not clearly announced whether the college entrance examination would be resumed, all the scholars, especially the educated youth, believed it.
There is no other way. Their lives are really too hard. When they are about to collapse, they are given hope. Of course, they want to seize every opportunity and try their best to leave this place that makes people want to stay away from.
In order to have more time to study, some educated youth even went to the team leader to ask for leave. It seemed that they were determined to pass the exam.
As time went by, more and more people started asking for leave, and the brigade's originally peaceful life was disrupted.
Moreover, as more educated youth took leave, more work was assigned to the members.
Because of this incident, many members of the brigade were dissatisfied.
They don't care whether the college entrance examination will be resumed soon. They only know that these people are not working now and are taking up their food rations, which is not acceptable.
As a result, someone ran to the team leader Li Tieniu, and the first person to raise objections was none other than Niu Juxiang.
"Captain, look at what's become of the brigade now? Those educated youth don't work all day, they just read books and pretend to be educated. Don't you do anything about it?"
"How can I control this? If they ask for leave, their work points will be deducted. They asked for it, so what can I say?"
Niu Juxiang curled her lips and complained slightly.
"But even if they are willing, we are doing much more work now than before. Who can we go to for justice?"
Li Tieniu knew that once the educated youth asked for leave, there would definitely be people talking about them, especially those whose children had not been in school for a long time, who would feel uncomfortable.
But he really didn't expect that Niu Juxiang, who always loved to watch the fun from behind, would be so lively this time and be the first to stand up!
Glancing at Niu Juxiang, he sighed first, and then spoke slowly.
"I've told you so many times that the educated youth taking leave are spending their own food rations. It has nothing to do with the rest of us. Don't you understand? Besides, if they want to take leave, they can take it. They're not using your food rations. Why are you fussing so much?"
Niu Juxiang stretched out her neck and spoke in a muffled voice.
"How can I not care? We are all educated people, we believe everything we hear. It's been so many years, and I see she's living well even though she's not allowed to go to school! I think the country will definitely not talk about reinstating the college entrance examination. It's just this group of people, all day long, this and that, they've made it so that my grandson's wife can't even go to work properly these past two days!"
At this point, she snorted, "If I catch anyone who dares to come to our house and say a few words, I will definitely rip their mouths out!"
Seeing that the man was becoming more and more unreasonable, Li Tieniu spoke directly.
"Okay, okay, that's all you need to say. Now that you're done, leave quickly. I have a lot more to do and don't have time to listen to your nonsense!"
"No, Captain, I still have something to tell you!"
Li Tieniu looked at her in confusion, not knowing what this person was going to ask.
"What's the matter? Tell me!"
Niu Juxiang hesitated for a moment, then spoke slowly with a shameless face.
"Captain, take a look. Didn't they say the college entrance examination will be reinstated? Can you take a look at our Maodan?"
Li Tieniu looked at her in horror, thinking he had misheard.
He hurriedly asked, "What did you say? Who?"
Niu Juxiang spoke with a smile.
"Who could I be talking about? Of course it's our Maodan. Captain, you see, our Maodan has been to school for several years. Although he's not very good at studying, if he studies hard during this period, he might be able to do it!"
