Chapter 10 Deciding to take the college entrance examination
"Grandma, uncle, this matter is not over yet."
"Does he think that by breaking off the relationship, my mother's life and the grievances I have suffered over the years can be written off?"
"He's dreaming!"
"I won't let them go!"
Lin Siqiao directly expressed his true thoughts.
Although the deaths of Lin's mother and her original body were accidents, she did not suffer any substantial harm after traveling through time.
But Lin Siqiao felt that this matter could not be settled in this way!
There is a saying: I didn't kill Bo Ren, but Bo Ren died because of me.
Perhaps the couple were not the direct knife-wielders, but their deaths were closely related to these two people.
Even if you hurt others, you can still live a carefree life for the rest of your life.
Why do they do that?
There is nothing so cheap in this world!
Old Mrs. Qiao was stunned for a long time and didn't react. She thought that her granddaughter would be soft-hearted about this matter and would let Lin Jiansheng go because of their past father-daughter relationship.
Fortunately, this kid knows what's going on.
While feeling relieved, the old lady began to worry again.
Once Qiao Qiao reports it, the higher-ups will definitely send people to investigate, and she will have to go to the police station to give a statement and be a witness.
In this case, Qiao Qiao will inevitably be pushed to the forefront.
Not to mention the distant consequences, if the two old men in the Lin family knew that their son was in prison, would they let Qiao Qiao go?
There are also many people in the unit who may sympathize with Qiao Qiao's situation.
But there are definitely people who gossip behind people’s backs.
Qiao Qiao is a girl, how can she resist all this?
"Don't worry about this, Qiao Qiao."
"If you want to report it, I, an old woman, will do it."
Lin Siqiao shook his head.
"Grandma, you haven't been to the Lin family for so many years. You can't explain where the evidence came from."
"Given their temperament, they might even bite you back and throw dirty water on you."
"It's not worth it to affect the future of my uncle and cousins for such a person."
"You can't go there either!"
"Grandma, I'm really fine. The worst that can happen is that someone will say a few words to me."
"Anyway, I have a clear conscience. Besides, I don't plan to stay in Ancheng anymore. I want to sign up..."
Before Lin Siqiao could finish her words, Qiao's uncle interrupted her hurriedly.
"Qiao Qiao, you must stay calm and don't sign up to go to the countryside!"
Uncle Qiao is the team leader of the village, and he has a lot of say in the matter of going to the countryside.
In their village alone, there have been more than a dozen educated youth from Shanghai in the past few years.
When these kids went to the countryside, they were all as excited as chicken blood, shouting slogans and slogans loudly.
As a result, after a few days of farm work, all the work was done.
Now everyone is thinking about how to get back to the city.
Those who cannot go back are also trying to find a way out for themselves.
Some want to be substitute teachers in primary schools, and some want to be barefoot doctors in health stations.
There are also those who do not use their minds in the right direction and just hope to change their fate by getting married.
Uncle Qiao is embarrassed to say that several of the children in the village who are serving in the army now don’t like to come back to visit their families.
"Yeah Qiao Qiao, your uncle is right, you mustn't be stupid."
Old Mrs. Qiao looked at her face, which looked very much like her daughter but much better than hers, and she absolutely disagreed with her going to the countryside.
Ah, this...
Is the misunderstanding so huge?
Go to the countryside? How is that possible? She will never go to the countryside in her life.
Lin Siqiao coughed lightly a few times and quickly explained.
"Grandma, uncle, don't be anxious, listen to me."
"I'm not signing up to go to the countryside. I'm planning to sign up for this year's college entrance examination."
"College entrance exam?"
"Yeah." Lin Siqiao nodded.
Speaking of this, she was also quite surprised.
In her memory, the history books seemed to have clearly mentioned that the college entrance examination was resumed in 1977.
And now there are more than four years until 1977.
But the original body's memory did include the college entrance examination, and the state had also issued a clear notice about it.
The time has been set, it's next month.
The examination subjects are politics, Chinese, mathematics, physics and chemistry, and are divided into written test and interview.
In addition, there is a strict rule that all those taking the college entrance examination must have more than two years of work or practical experience.
Anyway, no matter what, Lin Siqiao definitely meets the requirements.
If it weren't for this, she might have just accepted her fate.
After all, there was no reform and opening up yet, and you couldn't escape the fate of working anywhere except going to the countryside, so you just had to endure it.
But now the opportunity is right in front of us.
It was really hard for her not to be moved.
The most important thing is, even if she doesn't take the exam this year, she will still have to take it four years later, so she might as well not waste her time.
"Grandma, uncle, not going to college has always been a regret in my heart."
“I really don’t want to miss this opportunity, and I have confidence in myself.”
After hearing this, the Qiao family thought about it carefully and decided that this was not an impossible thing to do.
After all, once you graduate from university you will be a state official and your salary and benefits will definitely be better than they are now.
Maybe then I’ll have a chance to stay in a big city.
At this time, Qiao's second uncle, who had been standing by without saying anything, also spoke.
"Mom, brother, don't worry."
"If Qiao Qiao really wants to take the exam, just let her go."
After saying that, he patted his niece on the shoulder and said, "Don't feel pressured, just go for the exam with confidence."
"It doesn't matter if you don't do well in the exam, your uncles are here for you."
When Mrs. Qiao heard this, she became unhappy and glared at her son fiercely.
If you can't speak, just shut up.
What bullshit are you talking about.
Are you encouraging or discouraging me?
But what my son said was quite right. As long as they are here, it doesn’t matter if Qiao Qiao fails the exam.
Thinking of this, the old lady suddenly had an idea in her mind, and while everyone was here today, she simply told them.
"Qiao Qiao, are you willing to go back to Tongcheng and live with us?"
"ah?"
Lin Siqiao was a little surprised.
The old lady didn't beat around the bush, "We are worried about you being here alone now."
"Think about it first. If you are willing, you can take care of this job when the time comes and prepare for the exam in peace."
"If you pass the exam, go to college. If you don't get into the school you want, ask your uncle to do you a favor and arrange for you to work in his unit."
"Your second uncle is now an eighth-level worker in the factory. They will still give him this little face."
"The wages in the factory are about the same as here, and we can take care of each other as a family."
Lin Siqiao is not an ungrateful person, and the Qiao family has considered this for her.
What reason did she have to refuse?
When Mrs. Qiao saw her nod in agreement, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes deepened with joy.
We had agreed to set off at 2pm, but as we were chatting it was already getting late.
Lin Siqiao sent them to the station and luckily they caught the last bus.
"Be good, be obedient, and come back soon."
"Well, grandma, uncle, aunt, please go slowly on your way."
Lin Siqiao waved goodbye to them and looked at the car going further and further away, feeling indescribable emotions in his heart.
It's a little sour, a little astringent, and a little warm.
