The first two siblings gave up, but others who knew the news would not give up easily.
Wan Fang and Li Mao, a couple, discussed and decided to sign up together. If one of them stayed, the other would not abandon the family.
After all, they are in a free love relationship and have supported each other for so many years with true feelings.
The last people to sign up were all accepted except Xu Manman.
On the day of submitting the application form, the excited Liu Hua looked at the motionless Xu Manman and asked curiously, "Manman, aren't you going to sign up?"
"Well, I'm not going."
Liu Hua was stunned, "Why?" If she was selected, she would be a college student and could return to the city. She really couldn't understand why the person in front of her was not tempted.
"The first round is the village selection. I have only been in the countryside for less than a year and am not familiar with the villagers. The possibility of being selected is not great, so I'd better not waste my time." Xu Manman explained seriously.
That's the truth, "But I still want to give it a try. If I'm selected, I can go to college. If I'm not selected, I won't lose anything." Liu Hua is very optimistic.
They had already thought about it, and Xu Manman would not say much. After all, their lives are their own, and how they choose is their own decision.
The village committee has been very busy these days, with people submitting registration forms one after another. It is said that some people even brought things to the homes of village cadres at night.
This made the educated youth panic. After all, they did not have deep roots in the village, and if they were elected based on closeness to the family, they would not have much chance of winning.
Moreover, the educated youth were considered the strongest competitors of the locals. After all, the educated youth with the lowest education level had only graduated from junior high school, which gave them a natural advantage in exams.
Now in the village, there is a subtle tendency to separate the educated youth. Even the aunt who usually shares gossip with Liu Hua and others now keeps her distance when she sees them.
After all, everyone in the village is related to each other, and every family has children or nephews who are still in school.
This made Liu Hua very depressed. The atmosphere at the educated youth site was already very depressing before the election even started.
Fortunately, the big conflict between the villagers and the educated youth has been put in the forefront, and there has been no trouble among the educated youth. At present, it seems relatively calm.
The day for the village to select candidates finally arrived.
Everyone gathered in the threshing ground and voted by secret ballot. Everyone in the village over the age of 16, including the educated youth, could cast one vote, one person at a time.
The collected ballots will be counted on the spot by the village accountant.
Finally, 10 people with the highest number of votes were selected, 8 of whom were from the village, and 3 of them were old educated youth who had married into the village.
The remaining two people are from the Youth League Institute - Li Mao and Wan Fang.
According to this calculation, the proportion of educated youth is actually half, which is not low.
The most surprising thing is Li Mao and Wan Fang. It was beyond many people's expectations that this couple was selected together in this round.
Xu Manman cast a friendship vote for her good sister Liu Hua, so that her name wouldn't be left bare.
Liu Hua finally received two votes, one from Xu Manman and one from Li Xiao.
Of course, she voted for her boyfriend.
Back at the educated youth camp, everyone had different thoughts.
The new educated youth were fine, they were just trying it out and didn't have too much hope. But Xu Manman, who didn't sign up, really had no idea at all.
The old educated youths were in a very complicated situation. Needless to say, Li Mao and Wan Fang were chosen. Their smiles, which they could not hide even if they tried hard, showed their good mood.
Others looked at them, and their mood was not so good.
Especially Wang Wei, who thought that he was the only single one among the old educated youth, had no family to burden him, and had been in the countryside for a long time, so he should be one of them in the first round.
I felt uncomfortable and slammed the door and went into the house when I got back to the educated youth camp.
This brought the couple back to their senses from their ecstasy and they restrained their joy. Li Mao was a smart man. This was only the first round and everything was still uncertain. Everything should be stable and low-key.
The village organized an exam the next day. In order to prove the fairness of the exam, the village committee asked the teacher to bring the test papers directly from the commune, and the teacher was also the invigilator.
A separate office was set aside for them to use as an examination room.
On the day of the exam, many people asked the village committee to go and watch. If they didn't have to go to work, they would have been able to follow the invigilator and monitor the entire process.
Because there were few candidates taking the exam and the teacher graded the papers on the spot, the results came out very quickly.
