Chapter 24 Postponement of Admission
It was only after Lin Siqiao came back in the afternoon that he heard from his next-door neighbor that Old Mrs. Lin had fainted from anger and was carried back home by her sons.
What she didn't know was that the Lin family had a complete fall out because of this incident.
The eldest and second eldest brothers of the Lin family blamed their younger brother for not living up to his expectations and doing such a shameful thing.
On the other hand, they also blamed the third brother for giving blind advice, which now made it so that they couldn't hold their heads up high in the unit.
Lin Jianbin felt sorry for himself. When he made the suggestion, no one stood up to oppose it. Now that it has gone wrong, why should he be the only one to take the blame?
The fourth and fifth daughters in the family are both married girls, so the fire from their parents' home would not affect them.
It's just unfortunate that the second daughter of the fourth child, Lin Jianping, has been looking for a boyfriend recently, and the guy she's looking for happens to be a worker in the machinery factory.
The child has an honest personality and good looks, and his parents are both senior employees in the unit.
There are only three sisters in the family, and they are all married to well-off families.
The two children were very satisfied with each other and were just waiting for a good time for both parents to sit down and discuss matters such as the bride price and dowry.
Who knew that early this morning, the other party suddenly asked a matchmaker to come and postpone the marriage.
Breaking off an engagement is no small matter, and Lin Jianping naturally couldn't swallow this, so she pulled the matchmaker to ask for an explanation.
After asking this question, I realized that the problem was with my own younger brother.
There was no choice but for Lin Jianping to return to her parents' home.
Now the attitudes of these branches of the Lin family are very clear. They can’t and won’t interfere in my affairs.
The only way is to sever the relationship by publishing an announcement in the newspaper.
It's impossible that he is the only one who made a mistake and let the other five families be buried with him!
Seeing this, Old Man Lin and Old Lady Lin were also helpless.
As the children grow up, they are also old and can no longer make decisions on many things.
The farce came to an end here.
Lin Siqiao wasn’t sure whether the Lin family had any tricks up their sleeves, but it didn’t matter.
That day she handed the key of the house to Guo Huifang, picked up her luggage and took the letter of introduction from the street office, and found a quiet guesthouse to check in.
The room is located on the third floor, over 30 square meters, with a separate bathroom.
You can see the misty Yangtze River by opening the window of the room. It is so comfortable to live here.
A few days later, the results of the handling of Lin Jiansheng and Qin Xianglan were also announced.
They were sent to a farm in the Northwest, where they would spend seven years.
As for the Lin family, they also published a statement of severing the relationship in the newspaper immediately.
With such good news, Lin Siqiao naturally would not forget her stepson and stepsister.
Lin Siqiao made a special trip to the Youth League Office, found out the exact address of the two people's work in the countryside, and sent an urgent telegram to the brother and sister.
Telegrams were not cheap in that era, costing three and a half cents per word, but Lin Siqiao didn't feel bad about spending the money.
Unlike letters, the person who handles a telegram can see the contents.
The commune where the brother and sister live is only the size of a palm. I believe that it won’t be long before the news that they were born out of wedlock and their parents have been sent to the northwest for reform will spread to everyone!
Just think of it as the last big gift she, as their elder sister, gives them!
While at the post office, Lin Siqiao also went to take a look at the stamps.
In her later life, she was particularly obsessed with stamp collecting for a period of time and purchased several unique pieces at high prices.
I have some experience in stamp collecting.
Now that the opportunity to make money is in front of her, she won't be stupid enough to say no. After all, which woman doesn't love money!
It’s just that ideas are full, but ideals are skinny.
There are many styles of stamps in the post office, but they are all ordinary ones with large circulation.
In the future, it would be worth at most a hundred or eighty yuan, so it doesn't seem necessary.
Lin Siqiao couldn't say that she felt lost. Life was just like this. It was impossible for everything to go as planned.
…
Time passed quickly, and a few days later Lin Siqiao received a notice from the Admissions Office asking her to go to a designated hospital for a physical examination.
It was only when Lin Siqiao arrived that he realized that not all candidates were eligible for the physical examination.
Only those who have passed the political review can participate.
Lin Siqiao felt relieved that she had broken off her relationship with her scumbag father early, otherwise she might not have the chance to go to college in this life.
There are not many items in the physical examination in this era, mainly including height, weight, vision, liver function and other infectious diseases.
It will take two days for the results of the medical examination to be available.
Lin Siqiao had finished checking all the items and was thinking about going back to Tongcheng in the next two days when she heard someone calling her name from behind.
"Lin Siqiao!"
Lin Siqiao turned around and said, "Teacher Zhu? Why are you here?"
Zhu Ailin jogged all the way and spoke anxiously before she even caught her breath.
"Finally I found you. Do you have time now? I have something I want to talk to you about."
While Lin Siqiao nodded, he was very puzzled.
Because Teacher Zhu's expression and tone looked particularly serious, as if the sky was about to fall.
The two walked along the road and soon arrived at Zhu Ailin's home.
"Please sit down first."
Zhu Ailin poured her a cup of hot water and they sat down face to face.
"Si Qiao, you did well on this test."
The marking of the college entrance examination papers has been completed, although the specific test results have not yet been announced.
But the top scorer has basically been determined, and that is Lin Siqiao! She has also been shortlisted for the top three in the province, but the ranking has not yet come out.
Lin Siqiao was not surprised to hear this. The test questions were not difficult, and it would be strange if she did not do well.
only……
Lin Siqiao didn’t understand. Logically speaking, since he did well in the exam, shouldn’t the teacher be excited, thrilled, or smiling?
Why is there such a worried expression?
"Teacher, what happened?"
Zhu Ailin did not answer immediately, but took a newspaper from the cabinet and handed it to Lin Siqiao.
"Take a look at this first."
Lin Siqiao didn't understand what was going on, but he still took it and read it carefully.
The newspaper published a piece of news in the form of a front-page headline.
The general meaning is that a candidate from a certain province wrote a letter on this year's college entrance examination paper.
In the letter, he reflected that he had no time to review because he was working in the countryside, and he couldn't even buy study materials.
However, these educated youth who went to the countryside had to compete with those candidates from the city who lived a better life for the qualification to go to university.
This is a very unfair thing for them.
I hope the relevant leaders can pay attention to him as a hardworking team leader.
Ah... this...
It was difficult for Lin Siqiao to comment at the moment.
What he said does make sense to a certain extent, but it seems that there is no such thing as fairness or unfairness in this world.
Take the future for example, the first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen have far more teaching staff and the number of admissions than the children in poor mountainous areas.
The starting lines are different, but the finish line is the same.
So is this fair to children in the countryside?
There is nothing we can do about it even though it’s unfair; this is the law of survival.
"Teacher, does this have any impact on us?" Lin Siqiao asked.
“It’s hard to say.”
Zhu Ailin shook her head and told everything she knew.
"According to the normal plan, your class of candidates should have received their admission letters at the beginning of next month."
"But I heard that the admissions office seems to have put this on hold."
"The details will be announced later."
Lin Siqiao's eyes widened after hearing this.
No way! She sold her job, took the exam, and did quite well.
Tell her now that the higher-ups are going to suspend her admission because of this incident!
What to play?
