To celebrate Zhang Hongmei's return, Yun Ningyan specially set up a table at home and invited them all to have dinner.
Lin Mengmeng, Zhang Qiang, Liang Weiwei, and Zhang Hongmei.
Huo Junshan prepared sunflower seeds, peanuts, fruit, sponge cakes, and other snacks for them.
The table was covered with food.
Zhang Hongmei's mood finally improved a bit. After leaving her scumbag husband and wicked mother-in-law, she realized how good it is to be alive.
She originally intended to return the stick to Yun Ningyan.
But Yun Ningyan said, "Keep it! You might need it if they cause you trouble."
Everyone chatted and laughed, and after finishing their meal, they all went home.
That evening, the brigade leader came over.
He went to a meeting at the commune today.
The quota for worker-peasant-soldier college students has been allocated.
However, it is still just one.
He was worried about how to allocate the funds.
There's only one spot available each time, which is really killing him.
Huo Junshan smiled and said, "Then we'll do the same thing as last time: vote."
"Vote on the spot, record on the spot, and elect on the spot."
The captain nodded: "That's the only way!"
He waved his hand and said, "Alright, I'll go get ready. I'll go to the meeting tonight."
The captain left.
He went back and used the village loudspeaker to spread the word.
After everyone finished their meal, they each took a small stool and went to the brigade headquarters.
The brigade leader said there were more spots available for the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University.
Everyone was excited.
I couldn't go last time, and I thought there was no hope of returning to the city, but now I have the opportunity, don't I?
Voting began on the spot.
The captain ordered all the high school students in the team to come out.
All the high school students stood at the front.
But not a single member of the Huo family came out.
Huo Junshan looked at Huo Jianshe.
Why don't you go up?
Huo Jianshe shook his head: "I want to go with Third Brother!"
Huo Junshan: "Now that you have a chance to go to the city, why don't you seize it? What if you fail?"
Huo Jianshe: "I don't want to go to that Workers-Peasants-Soldiers University!"
Fine, if I don't want to go, then I don't want to go!
Just like last time, everyone stepped forward and told the accountant who they wanted to choose.
Huo Junshan was the first member of the Huo family to go up there.
Before he went on stage, Yun Ningyan tugged at his sleeve and winked at him.
He smiled and said, "I know, don't worry."
Everyone is watching to see who Huo Junshan will vote for.
His lips moved: "Zhang Hongmei!"
After he finished speaking, he looked at his wife, Yun Ningyan, who beamed with joy.
This is an opportunity; if Zhang Hongmei leaves here, she can have a better life.
Otherwise, if she stays here, the Wang family will retaliate against her, not to mention.
She herself wouldn't be in a good mood either.
When the Huo family heard about Zhang Hongmei mentioned by Huo Junshan, they all voted for Zhang Hongmei.
Although they didn't know why they should vote for her.
But if Huo Junshan hadn't taken the lead, the others wouldn't have known who to vote for.
None of their family members went up.
The captain was so angry his face turned green.
Everyone else is vying to go to college, but their high school students are indifferent.
I have no idea what these people are thinking.
We'll settle the score with them later.
Everyone saw that the entire Huo family had voted for Zhang Hongmei.
The factory workers also voted for Zhang Hongmei.
Zhang Hongmei looked at Yun Ningyan gratefully.
Yun Ningyan was a benefactor in her life.
If it weren't for Yun Ningyan, she wouldn't have left the Wang family.
They would have no chance to go to university.
Yun Ningyan gave her such a precious opportunity!
How should she repay him?
She looked at Yun Ningyan, seemingly wanting to say something but hesitating. Yun Ningyan winked at her.
He gestured for her to be quiet.
She had no choice but to sit down quietly.
The Wang family members watched with gritted teeth!
That little bitch, she actually managed to go to university after leaving the Wang family!
Aunt Wang narrowed her eyes.
She hates Zhang Hongmei to death now!
She ruined their perfectly good family; her son disowned her and gave her the cold shoulder every day.
The daughter suffered grievances every day at the Jiang family's house, either being beaten or scolded.
They also have to do housework every day.
She went to see her once, but her daughter wanted to tell her but didn't dare.
That little bitch Zhang Hongmei is still taking her daughter's betrothal money.
She also wanted to use her family's money to go to university.
Aunt Wang's eyes gradually hardened; she couldn't let Zhang Hongmei leave.
The voting results showed that Zhang Hongmei was far ahead.
Zhang Hongmei got the spot at the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University.
The captain said, "We'll depart in three days."
After everyone else left, Zhang Hongmei went to find Yun Ningyan.
Her eyes were red, and she held Yun Ningyan's hand, smiling as she said, "Ningning, I don't know how to thank you. If it weren't for you..."
"I will not leave the Wang family, nor will I go to university."
Yun Ningyan patted her hand: "Alright, this is a good thing, you mustn't cry!"
"Get ready in the next few days, then go!"
"We might never see each other again."
Zhang Hongmei nodded: "Ningning, I remember your family is from Beijing, right? I'll come find you then."
Yun Ningyan nodded and gave her parents' address and phone number.
"If you go to Beijing, come find me."
Yun Ningyan returned to the house and took out a small bottle.
"Sister Hongmei, you've been staying at the educated youth settlement for the past few days. You're going to university now."
"Some people will be envious, so you keep this."
"If someone tries to drug you, just drink it!"
"Also, pack your things by tomorrow. Your uncle said three days from now."
