Chapter 181 Patience and Instigation
Xia Juanjuan didn't really care about the recommendation for this worker-peasant-soldier college student.
In a few years after the college entrance examination is resumed, those who are admitted and graduate from universities will be the real chosen ones with very high value.
In this era, many of the workers, peasants and soldiers who graduated from college were assigned back to agricultural stations.
Of course, being able to change your household registration and eat commercial food from now on is a real benefit.
However, even if Xia Juanjuan didn't like it, it was something that belonged to the original owner after all. How could she just let it go when Xia Fangfang took it away for no reason?
Where in the world can such a good thing happen?
She had always kept this matter in her heart, but there had never been a better time to deal with it.
Now that Xia Dazhuang and Li Cuihua's affair has been exposed, instead of taking advantage of such a great opportunity, are they going to just sit and watch Xia Fangfang get the city hukou that originally belonged to the original owner and become the worker that was supposed to be hers?
However, Xia Juanjuan did not go to the school in person to write a letter of denunciation or anything like that.
There were more than one candidate for the recommendation to go to university that year. There was also one other person in the commune who was in high school, and two who were in junior high school. Their families were all active workers, so the possibility of her being selected was very high.
However, the loss of the commune's cow was such a serious matter, as it affected the commune's harvest for the next year. The original owner risked his life and went deep into the mountains. He searched for the cow in the mountains for three days before he finally found it with great difficulty.
Although the other three candidates were unhappy, their contribution to retrieving the oxen could be said to have directly saved the commune from losses of several hundred yuan. No one could argue with it, so they had to accept it.
But those three families acknowledged the credit of the original owner.
However, the Xia family arrogantly replaced Xia Fangfang to go to college under their name. The three families have always felt resentful and feel indignant whenever they think about it.
When Xia Juanjuan was holding a full-month banquet for her triplets, there happened to be a high school student in that family, whose surname was Zhu and who was related to the Li family, who also came to the banquet.
At the banquet, Aunt Zhu held Xia Juanjuan's hand and kept speaking up for her - of course, that was because she was still angry that her son was not selected, so she had not calmed down for several years.
"Juanjuan! Auntie is really upset for you. You said that your grandmother Li Cuihua and uncle Xia Dazhuang are really good-for-nothings! They sold out your brother! Especially Xia Dazhuang, he said he had no food to eat, so why didn't he sell his own son? And Xia Fangfang too, what kind of a piece of shit! She even snatched away the college spot that originally belonged to you! Auntie is really not jealous that her son was not selected.
Juanjuan, if you go to college, no one in the whole commune will dare to say anything against you! I, your aunt, will not have any complaints! But if Xia Fangfang impersonates you, who will be convinced? Xia Fangfang didn't even graduate from elementary school, doesn't even look like a farmer, and probably can't even tell the difference between wheat and weeds! What merits did she have to go to college...?"
Xia Juanjuan listened to Aunt Zhu's complaints with great patience, smiling. When she saw that it was almost over, she said gratefully, "Aunt Zhu, thank you for standing up for me after all these years. Alas! My parents and I have been bullied in that family for a long time. In fact, I was just lucky to find the cow back. If we really talk about qualifications, how can I compare with Xiao Peng who has been to high school? Li Cuihua and Xia Dazhuang also went behind my back and told me that they were bullied. Mom and Dad, after sending Xia Fangfang to the train, they told me that they had decided to give up my place to Xia Fangfang, as Xia Fangfang had already registered at Beijing University. I was so angry that I cried on the spot. I thought to myself, even if they gave up the place, they should have given it to Xiao Peng, who was the most qualified, right? Xiao Peng has a good education, and his family is clean, with three generations of poor farmers, and no one has committed a crime and been imprisoned! Oh... when I think about it now, I am so angry that I cry!"
Brother Xiaopeng is Aunt Zhu's son. When Aunt Zhu heard Xia Juanjuan praising her son and saying that her son was the most qualified, she felt indescribably relieved. She immediately held Xia Juanjuan's hand more affectionately and said from the bottom of her heart:
"Juanjuan! You still sound good! Auntie, I'm not bragging. How many people in this area can graduate from high school like your brother Xiaopeng? Even those educated youth from the city can only graduate from junior high school at most, right? Alas! Your uncle Zhu and I are not like other ignorant people. We will do everything we can to support your brother Xiaopeng to go to college. Who would have thought that the school would not recruit students when he was about to take the college entrance examination... Later, I thought that your uncle Zhu and I had good family backgrounds, so we worked hard to get your brother Xiaopeng a worker-peasant-soldier position..."
Speaking of this, Aunt Zhu's heart moved.
Just now Xia Juanjuan said that her family was well-born, three generations of poor farmers, and no one in her family had ever been in jail for committing a crime... Didn't Xia Dazhuang and Li Cuihua commit a crime now? !
It is true that the Xia family, like hers, had been poor farmers for three generations!
But now it’s a different story!
"Juanjuan, you said...your uncle and your grandmother committed such an evil act, they must be sentenced to labor reform. Doesn't that mean Xia Fangfang is the daughter of a labor reform prisoner? Doesn't she still have the qualifications to go to college?"
Xia Juanjuan blinked her eyes and said in confusion: "Aunt Zhu, how can I understand this kind of thing? But I guess it should be the school that decided it. If the school doesn't know that her father has been sentenced, it shouldn't have any impact..."
When Aunt Zhu heard this, her heart began to beat fast. An idea took root in her mind and she couldn't get rid of it even if she wanted to!
That night after the banquet, Aunt Zhu ran back to her parents' home in another commune, found an acquaintance who could read, and secretly wrote a letter of denunciation and sent it to the school where Xia Fangfang was studying.
Although even if she reported Xia Fangfang now, this spot would never be given to her son, but - at least she could vent the resentment that had been accumulating in her heart for several years!
Xia Juanjuan observed the expression and knew that Aunt Zhu would probably take action.
Sure enough, I went back to my parents' home that night.
A few days later, Xia Juanjuan went to the town again and asked Director Zheng about it. As expected, she heard that Aunt Zhu's brother had followed her purchase truck to the county and went straight to the post office after arriving...
