Zhang Guihua opened the door and looked at the two people at the door.
Meng Zhenzhen and Li Dawang.
Her face darkened: "What is it?"
Meng Zhenzhen smiled and said, "Auntie, I want to see the brigade leader."
Zhang Guihua: "She's not home. She's gone on a long trip and won't be back for the next couple of days."
Meng Zhenzhen was a little skeptical. She wanted to talk to the brigade leader again, just in case he was moved.
She doesn't necessarily have more opportunities than others.
Li Dawang came with her today. He grabbed the door with his big hands and shouted, "Auntie, can we come into the yard? We're waiting for the brigade leader to come back."
"It will absolutely not affect your lives."
"Yes, yes, Auntie, don't worry, we won't affect your lives. We'll just wait for the brigade leader in the yard."
Meng Zhenzhen chimed in, and Zhang Guihua glanced at the two of them.
These two really have some good ideas. She rolled her eyes. Li Dawang is really stupid.
Don't you even need to think? If Meng Zhenzhen really went to university, wouldn't she run away?
She actually has a high opinion of Li Dawang.
Li Dawang is really being led by the nose by Meng Zhenzhen.
However, this is their family matter, and she won't say much about it.
"You should leave now! There's no point in waiting; he's not coming back this year."
After saying that, she slammed the door shut.
The two of them were met with a rebuff.
Meng Zhenzhen spat at the gate and pulled Li Dawang away.
What's there to be proud of?
They think they're some high-ranking official.
He's just a battalion commander, nothing special!
She pulled Li Dawang away.
Zhang Guihua had just closed the door and hadn't even stepped inside.
There was another knock on the door.
No wonder the old man wanted to go out so early in the morning; if he hadn't, he would have been driven crazy by the annoyance.
She called out towards the front door, "Who is it?"
Early in the morning, everyone came looking for someone.
This is so annoying!
Those outside the door, hearing her impatient voice, became somewhat cautious.
Zhang Hongmei gave an awkward laugh and said, "Auntie, it's me, Hongmei. I wanted to come and talk to the brigade leader about something."
Zhang Guihua responded with two "ohs": "He's not home, he went out."
As she spoke, she opened the door and saw Zhang Hongmei standing cautiously at the doorway, looking around nervously.
"The captain isn't home, you should go back quickly! It's not good if someone sees you, Li Dawang and Meng Zhenzhen just left."
“I know what you’re after, but it’s not up to him to decide alone; ultimately, it depends on the decision from above.”
Zhang Hongmei smiled and said, "I just wanted to ask how these spots are selected, there aren't enough to go around with so many people!"
She had originally planned to deliver the items and leave, but after hearing her aunt's words, she changed her mind.
Zhang Guihua waved her hand: "Let's go back! To be honest, we don't know either. Let's wait for our notification!"
Zhang Hongmei felt she couldn't get anything out of them, so she went back.
After Zhang Hongmei left, several more people arrived one after another.
Most of the people were from the educated youth settlements, but there were also some from the villages.
However, very few people in the village have graduated from high school.
So not many people from the village came looking for them.
Educated youth settlement.
Lin Mengmeng also learned about the Workers-Peasants-Soldiers University.
After having breakfast with Zhang Qiang, she asked, "Zhang Qiang, how many places do you think the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University has?"
Zhang Qiang shook his head: "I don't know! I don't know if this is true or not. Look how panicked they all are."
"You want to go? Why don't we go find Yun Ningyan? She definitely knows what's going on."
Lin Mengmeng's eyes lit up: "Okay! Let's go! Let's find Ningning. I also want to ask her if this is really true?"
After changing her clothes, Lin Mengmeng went to the Huo family with Zhang Qiang.
Yun Ningyan was unaware of these things. She had just gotten up when Huo Junshan had cooked millet porridge, hot steamed buns, and two side dishes.
"Huo Junshan, I feel so hungry today. Is it because the baby is getting bigger and I'm eating less?"
Huo Junshan nodded: "Then from now on, adding a cup of milk powder to each of the two meals will certainly not be enough for one person with two children."
Yun Ningyan took a spoonful of millet porridge. Huo Junshan had cooked it for a long time, so the millet had a fragrant aroma.
Huo Junshan added, "Just call me if you get hungry at night. I'm not working now, so I'll stay home and take care of you."
Yun Ningyan smiled and said, "Then what should we do with the canned goods we make?"
"We can't eat it all ourselves; we can't eat that much."
Just as Huo Junshan was about to speak, there was a knock on the door.
Upon hearing Lin Mengmeng's voice, Yun Ningyan said, "Huo Junshan, Mengmeng is here. Go open the door."
When Lin Mengmeng and Zhang Qiang entered the courtyard and saw her still eating, they said, "Ningning, you just got up? Don't you know the educated youth settlement is in an uproar? Have you heard?"
Yun Ningyan raised an eyebrow.
Is it because of the Workers-Peasants-Soldiers University?
"What's wrong? I don't go out at all, I don't know what's going on."
Lin Mengmeng found a stool and sat down: "They're all thinking about how to give gifts to the brigade leader so they can go back to the city. If you ask me, who gets this spot depends on who's lucky."
Yun Ningyan smiled and said, "It's good that you understand. What's the rush? Now that the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University has available places, maybe the college entrance examination will be reinstated in two years."
Lin Mengmeng nodded; that was the current situation.
They might actually reinstate the college entrance examination.
She chuckled twice.
"Ningning, I've been so busy harvesting wheat lately that I haven't had much time to read."
"I'll start watching as soon as I get back!"
She looked at Zhang Qiang and said, "You should go back and study too. Otherwise, if it really recovers sometime and we're not prepared, wouldn't we be at a huge loss?"
