Captain Huang: "I really haven't heard of it. I'll go with you to ask Kong and Ye, the educated youth."
If such a good thing really happened, he would have to ask what was going on. The educated youth compound was causing trouble every few days, and he really didn't want to keep these old men there.
However, we cannot simply send people back to the educated youth office at the drop of a hat, as that would violate the purpose of sending educated youth to the countryside to receive re-education.
He would definitely give his full support if there were other ways to get rid of them.
A group of people arrived at the educated youth compound and met Kong and Ye, the educated youth who had spread the news.
Kong Mingming said, "The news just came out. It says that enrollment will begin in the second half of this year. We didn't have time to find out the specifics before we came here."
Ye Sisi said, "The brigade leader needs to help us ask the commune about this."
The two were educated youths from big cities, and it was normal for them to receive news earlier than those in the countryside.
Captain Huang thought of Gao Shujing, who often went to town and was also a commune cadre. If there was any news, he should know.
So he came over and asked Gao Shujing about it.
Gao Shujing: "I have heard about this, but there is a limit to the number of places available. Each commune can only have a few places per year at most."
Officer Ma had casually mentioned this to him.
He is a college student himself, so he doesn't need to go back to college.
Yu Rujia and Gao Guojing both have their own plans and do not need a university spot.
Gao Shujing listened and then let it go, not taking it to heart. He didn't expect that Captain Huang would come over specifically to ask him about it.
Team Leader Huang: "A commune only has a few slots, but our commune has eight brigades. Some brigades can't even get a slot?"
He was still hoping to find a way to send the old men from the educated youth compound away, but the quota was limited and the number was so small, how could he send them away?
Yu Rujia: "I have heard about this before. University places can be given to educated youth or team members. The unit that gets the place will recommend outstanding young people to go to university."
"There were subsidies during the school years, and job placement was guaranteed after graduation. However, there was a requirement that educated youth had to spend three years in the countryside to be eligible for a spot."
I never expected that the conversation with Guo Xiaojie would come in handy so quickly.
Gao Shujing: "Rujia is right. Putting everything else aside, the educated youth in the educated youth compound don't even meet the required years of service."
Captain Huang said, "No wonder those educated youths came to me for recommendations like they were on steroids. It turns out it was such a good thing."
"Spots are so hard to come by. If we count a few spots a year, a brigade might only get one spot every two or three years, and it's not even for educated youth."
“Even if there are quotas for our brigade, I can’t possibly recommend those troublemakers who are always causing trouble. Wouldn’t that make people think that our Shangfen brigade has no ability to recognize talent?”
"I knew these educated youths were just thinking about unrealistic good things. Besides, the earliest ones among them haven't even been here for two years. It's pointless for them to even think about it."
Previously, the educated youth who voluntarily went to the countryside all found jobs in the town and did not need the quotas allocated to the team.
He has three children. Lin Dadan studied circuits with Gao Shujing for several years and has some experience. At the beginning of the year, he went to work at the power supply station.
The power supply station is in dire need of manpower. As long as Lin Dadan, this temporary worker, doesn't make any mistakes, he will soon be promoted to a permanent position and earn at least thirty yuan a month.
Huang Xiaoyu is a girl, only fourteen years old, and they are worried about her going to university so far away.
Erdan is only twelve years old, so he doesn't need a university spot.
If family members can't be used, and outsiders can only be recommended, then the arrangement must be based on performance. If there are no relatives or friends, and those educated youths have such poor performance and haven't served enough years, why should he recommend them?
Moreover, even if someone has enough years of service, he wouldn't recommend them.
Yu Rujia reminded her, "Don't you always complain that the educated youth compound is hard to manage? You can use this to keep them on their toes."
"Anyone who causes trouble will be given a demerit. When there are openings, those who have been given demerits will be removed immediately. Let's see if they dare to cause trouble again."
Captain Huang said thoughtfully, "That's really the case. With this carrot dangling in front of them, they'll be more cautious about what they do in the future."
While the other educated youth were scrambling for spots, the calm Song Liyun and Qi Tianxin stood out as quite different.
Zhou Likang asked, "Song Zhiqing, don't you want to go to university?"
Song Liyun is someone who transmigrated into a book, so she knows the direction of future development and has no interest in studying. She feels that finding a good man is more important than getting a degree.
Once she gets Hao Jianguo, she'll be the general's wife; who would care about a mere college student?
Song Liyun said with an ambiguous expression, "The quotas for workers, peasants, and soldiers are limited, so I won't compete for them. You guys do your best. I just saw the brigade leader go to Officer Gao's house. I wonder what they'll talk about."
One sentence left the educated youth stunned.
Zhou Likang immediately asked, "Are you saying that the brigade leader wants to give the spot to the educated youth?"
Zou Jiahui said, "Officer Gao is a college student and doesn't need a quota. But it's different for educated youth Gao; he only graduated from high school. The brigade leader is close to Officer Gao, so he might really have this idea."
Ding Xiaoxi hesitated for a moment and said, "Really?"
Zhou Likang retorted without hesitation: "How is it impossible? You know how sought-after college graduates are. They don't have to spend money to go to college and they even get subsidies. After graduation, they are guaranteed job placement, and their starting salary is much higher than that of ordinary workers."
"Just because Gao is a college student, he can earn seventy or eighty yuan a month. Gao, the educated youth, only earns five yuan a month plus work points, which is much worse than Gao's job. How could his family miss out on such a good opportunity?"
Song Liyun was delighted to see this. Gao Shujing was blind and looked down on her, so he shouldn't blame her for causing him trouble.
Qi Tianxin still wants to be with Gao Guojing, so naturally the higher he climbs, the better.
Qi Tianxin: "Gao, the educated youth, has always performed better than us educated youth. What's wrong with him getting a spot?"
Zhou Likang scoffed, "You're always trying to get close to him, of course you want him to become a college student. It's a pity he looked down on you even before he became a college student. Now that he's actually a college student and left the Shangfen Brigade, you can't even get in touch with him anymore."
Qi Tianxin's heart tightened. Gao Guojing was in the brigade, and she could still win him over with time. But if she really let him go to school, perhaps Zhou Likang's words would come true.
Having figured it out, she didn't want Gao Guojing to get the spot.
Shortly after Captain Huang left his home, he was surrounded by educated youth.
Zhou Likang questioned, "Captain, are you planning to give the university spot to a educated youth?"
Captain Huang's cheerful mood, which had been lifted by finding a way to deal with the educated youth, vanished instantly. With a dark face, he asked, "Where did you hear about this?"
Zou Jiahui: "You got the news from us but didn't go to the commune. Instead, you went to the Gao family. Weren't you talking about this matter?"
