Chapter 315 Lu Qingan vents his anger
The next day, it happened to be the day of the commune meeting.
Lu Qingan specially took two packs of good cigarettes that Su Mo sent over during the Chinese New Year, and as soon as he arrived at the commune meeting room, he distributed them around.
"Hey, Secretary Lu, you are distributing such good cigarettes. What's the happy event in your family? Are you going to be a grandfather again?"
Lu Qingan smiled and waved his hand, "No, I have been a grandfather too many times, it's not worth distributing such good cigarettes."
"It's my daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law. Both of them were admitted to university. My daughter-in-law is the top scorer in science in Guangdong Province and was admitted to the best school in Guangdong Province. My daughter-in-law missed home, so she came back to us and was admitted to the Teachers College in Harbin."
After hearing this, everyone congratulated him. No matter if it was sincere or not, they had to save face.
"He is already the top scorer, why didn't he apply to Peking University or Hua University? What good universities can there be in Guangdong Province?" Someone raised doubts.
At that time, information transmission was not well developed, and the north knew very little about the south. In the eyes of many people, the only good universities were Peking University and Hua University, and other universities were just average.
"That's right. I said so too. He is the top scorer in the imperial examination. It would be a pity not to apply to these two schools. But my son and grandchildren are all in Guangzhou, and my daughter-in-law can't bear to leave
them, so she can only apply to the nearest school." "I heard from my third child that the school is also very good, only slightly worse than Peking University and Huazhong University. I have never been to college and I don't understand. It's up to the children to make their own choices. I just listen to them."
"Researcher Su is so amazing. She will shine wherever she is. Ever since our brigade has used the vegetable seeds and fertilization methods she cultivated, the vegetable team has seen an increase in production year after year, which has created a lot of benefits for the brigade."
Su Mo had attended classes in the commune for more than a year, and everyone knew her.
"That's right, gold shines everywhere."
"If you can get into a university, then you are the best. It doesn't matter which school you go to, you can still contribute to the country."
"Secretary Lu, your daughter got into a normal college, so when she graduates, she will be a teacher, right? This college student will definitely be assigned to a high school." Someone asked.
Now that the college entrance examination has been relaxed, those who are more discerning have begun to attach importance to education. Since ancient times, the easiest way for children from poor families to get ahead is to study.
"Oh, it's not that easy. We will go wherever the country arranges us to go. We will all listen to the country's arrangements." Lu Qing'an said with a smile.
While Lu Qing'an was chatting and laughing with others, he secretly observed Yang Jingming and his father-in-law who were huddled in the corner with his eyes, and he felt very comfortable.
In the past few years, these two guys have been annoying him openly and covertly, and this time he finally got some relief.
Yang Jingming sat in the corner with a gloomy face. He didn't expect that Lu Xiaolan would be admitted to the university and become an enviable college student.
Is Lu Xiaolan so outstanding?
There are millions of people taking the exam, but only hundreds of thousands of people are admitted, and she was admitted.
Since their divorce, it seems that their lives have turned around. She is getting better and better, but he is getting worse and worse.
He is 28 years old this year and will soon be 30. He has been married to his new wife for three years, but they still have no children.
Because of the child, the relationship between his mother and his wife has become more and more strained. There is a small quarrel every three days and a big quarrel every five days at home. He is caught in the middle and it is really difficult for him.
Neither of his two daughters-in-law were pregnant. He privately doubted himself and secretly went to a hospital in Harbin for a checkup, but the results were normal.
Her mother blamed his daughter-in-law for this, saying that his family was in trouble and that they married two hens that didn't lay eggs.
But his daughter-in-law also went for a checkup and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with her. She also took various fertility drugs, but it didn't work. So, she blamed his family for this, saying that his family must have done something immoral before, which affected the feng shui and would cut off their descendants.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law often ridiculed each other, making the house full of smoke and miasma.
He was busy dealing with the conflicts between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law every day, so he didn't have the energy to work seriously. Since Lu Changzheng helped him get promoted a level a few years ago, he has not moved since then.
He wanted to use connections, but the current top leader of Shuangshan City is Geng Changqing, and no one dared to make a move. Now the situation of his eldest sister's in-laws is getting worse day by day. He is afraid that in a few years, he will not be able to use connections.
Sometimes, he wondered if he had refused to divorce Lu Xiaolan, would life be different?
*****
The news that Su Mo and Lu Xiaolan were admitted to university soon spread throughout the Lujia Village Brigade, and Ma Xiaojuan naturally heard about it.
Tao Peisheng also asked someone to check her grades for her. They were not good, but not bad either. She estimated that she could be admitted to a junior college.
The current problem is that her due date is at the end of September or the beginning of October, which is the time when most schools report.
It would be fine if the child came out earlier. At that time, she would be patient and not have to stay in confinement. She would bring the child over and take care of the child while studying. It just so happened that
the school she applied for was in Harbin, not far from her husband's house. She could leave her child at her husband's house, find someone to look after the child during the day, and take care of the child herself at night. But if the child was born during the time she applied for school, or after school started, it would be a bit troublesome. Her husband's family advised her that after receiving the notice, her father-in-law would go and negotiate with the school to let her postpone her enrollment for a year. In this way, she could have peace of mind to have the baby and take care of the child a little bit, and then she could go to school without so much hardship. Ma Xiaojuan was very conflicted. It was not impossible to postpone school for a year. But if she had to postpone it for a year, she would actually prefer to take the exam again next year, and maybe she could get into the ideal school. When she was pregnant, she had a strong pregnancy reaction, which affected her condition, and she did not do well in the exam this year. She and Jiang Yue started reviewing at the same time. Their levels were similar, but Jiang Yue scored several points higher than her, so she should be able to go to college. But she was a little worried that she would not be allowed to take the exam next year, or that she would do worse next year than this year. She often heard her mother say that pregnancy makes women stupid for three years. What if she was worse off after giving birth? Ma Xiaojuan was very confused. Thinking that Su Mo had a wide range of contacts, she called Su Mo and asked her for some advice. After listening to Ma Xiaojuan's story, Su Mo did not give any advice immediately, but explained the current situation to her. As for how to choose, it was up to her. "Xiaojuan, now that the college entrance examination has begun, it will definitely not stop. You can rest assured." "Next year's college entrance examination will definitely have more candidates than this year, but the number of admitted students will also be more than this year. The test questions will definitely be more difficult than this year, but correspondingly, there will be more review questions for everyone to practice."
Although the notice was sent out in February, many university teachers are still in the bullpen. They need to redress their mistakes and do other work, so time is still tight. Therefore, the preparation for this year's college entrance examination is indeed not that sufficient, and the admission rate is not high.
"But whether to take the exam again or not, external factors are secondary. The key lies in your own determination."
"If you have the courage to burn your boats and are determined to take the exam again, then don't worry about anything. After the baby is born and you have finished your confinement, you can calm down and study hard."
"If you are more worried, then I suggest you delay your enrollment and don't take the exam again. Because many times, failure is caused by a variety of reasons."
"My review notes, when Xiaolan comes home, I will let her bring them back to you. You can also ask for the opinion of Director Tao before making a decision."
