Chapter 306: Can You Withdraw Your Volunteer Just If You Want?
[I'm afraid my friends will send me razor blades, so I'm sending it early, hehe~!]
The college entrance examination office of No. 1 Middle School is the busiest during this period. You don’t need anyone to point it out, just look at the people coming in and out to tell.
Zhang A-mei was a little timid when she walked into the office, but when she thought about Wu Shanshan's good life in the future, she plucked up her courage.
"Excuse me, which teacher should I contact to change my major?" she asked a teacher who was working hard at the door.
The teacher raised his head, frowned unhappily:
"Students and parents, don't be anxious. Think carefully before you apply. Don't act rashly. Be cautious. It's still the same! Today is the deadline, so think carefully!"
"I've thought about it, I've thought about it." Zhang A'mei replied softly.
"The second to last office." The teacher pointed back.
Zhang A-mei walked into the office.
There were many empty desks and chairs in the office. Some people were filling out documents. There were two teachers sitting against the wall. When they saw her, they asked:
“Parent, you are here to modify the information as well.”
"Yes, change your choice." Zhang A'mei nodded.
"Then fill out the forms!" The teacher pulled out two forms for her.
Zhang A-mei thought that she just needed to take out her household registration booklet and tell the teacher verbally, and the teacher would make the changes. However, she didn't know that she had to fill out a form to change her application.
"I just don't want to apply this year, but I still have to fill out the form!"
"If you don't want to apply now that you've already taken the college entrance examination, it doesn't matter if you don't register. If you receive an admission letter and it's not the school you want to go to, just don't go." The teacher said in surprise.
"I'll take the exam again next year. I didn't do well this year." Zhang A'mei answered casually.
"What's your name? Let me check it first." asked the teacher.
"My name is Wu Shanshan."
When the teacher heard the name, he frowned slightly, then tore out a new form and handed it to Zhang A-mei:
"Fill out the form! If you don't want to report, fill out this one. Do you have a pen?"
Zhang A-mei shook her head.
The teacher lent her a pen.
Zhang A-mei took a pen and a form and walked to an empty table to fill it out. However, she didn't even know how she graduated from junior high school, and she hadn't read books or newspapers for many years. She could barely read a factory announcement, let alone this complicated form.
I finally wrote a name, but I had no idea where to start from.
Seeing that everyone around her had handed in their information, she walked up to the teacher holding the paper.
"Filled it out"
"No... I want to ask... what do these mean and how do I fill them out?"
"Where?" The teacher took the form from Zhang A-mei's hand and saw that there was only one name "Wu Shanshan".
He said to Zhang A-mei, "Parent, I think it's best for you to bring your child along. There's a lot of information on these forms that only she knows, and we don't know either."
"She doesn't have time." Zhang A'mei evaded the question.
The teacher said seriously:
"Parent, you don't even know how to come here alone. We can't fill it out for you, and the form can't show any signs of modification. You either fill it out yourself or have your child fill it out. This is a huge matter for the child. I think you should discuss it and come together."
When Zhang A-mei heard this, she started to throw a tantrum:
"Why don't you just give me her watch? It's not the school's business whether we study or not!"
"Dear parent, you are being unreasonable. The college entrance examination is a big deal for students and for the school. It's not a joke! You can't just take anyone's form just because you want to. We have procedures. You can withdraw your registration. Just fill out the form and give it to me to apply for withdrawal! I didn't say you can't withdraw.
I've seen many uneducated parents like you. You always think that your children will never come back and won't provide for you in your old age. How foolish! These children are talents cultivated by the country. The country's construction and development depend on them! It's not just for you!
I'm telling you straight up, if you want to withdraw your registration with Wu Shanshan's grades, the school leaders will come visit you. I think you should go back and discuss this with your wife and children."
Although the children are given three days to make revisions, the school actually still reserves time to check errors, report them, and complete many other procedures.
When Zhang A-mei heard this, she realized that things were not as simple as she thought.
Unexpectedly, Wu Shanshan attracted the attention of school leaders.
Zhang A-mei left the school in disappointment.
Although she did not change her choice of major, the teacher's words gave Zhang A-mei a new idea.
The teacher just said that it’s okay to report, but if you don’t want to go after receiving the notice, you don’t have to go. Then she burned the notice, and let’s see how she goes.
Thinking of this, she felt better.
Huang Ling was busy at the garment factory when the phone rang.
When I picked up the phone and heard it was Director Yu from the College Entrance Examination Office of No. 1 Middle School, my heart tightened:
"Director Yu."
"Director Huang, you guessed it right. Don't worry, our teacher has persuaded them to go back. I've already arranged for Wu Shanshan's volunteer file to be submitted in the first batch. No one can change it."
“That’s great, thank you so much!”
"It's a small matter. Excellent students like Wu Shanshan are definitely the ones we protect. These parents are really outrageous. They ruined their children's future for their own selfish interests. I don't know what they are thinking."
"Fortunately, there is a good teacher like you who protects her. I thank you on Shanshan's behalf."
Huang Ling hung up the phone and breathed a sigh of relief.
On the day of applying for college, Shanshan went alone. While filling out the form, she saw a woman in a red dress passing by.
Shanshan knew it was Huang Ling just by looking at the hem of her skirt as she walked so fast.
Then I heard her voice: "Teachers, you've worked hard! Take a break. There are popsicles and ice watermelon."
It is not surprising that she came to No. 1 Middle School, and it is even less surprising that she is familiar with the College Entrance Examination Office.
When Wu Shanshan filled out the form and went to the office next door to hand it in, she saw Huang Ling and Director Yu whispering to each other in a corner of the office.
She didn't want to go forward, so she just waved her hand.
Huang Ling pointed at herself, meaning that Wu Shanshan should wait for her. Wu Shanshan went to hand in the form, and then went outside the office and leaned against the railing to wait for Huang Ling.
"Director Yu, Wu Shanshan, do you recognize her?" Huang Ling asked.
Director Yu replied, "Of course, Wu always ranks among the top students."
"My goddaughter."
"Yes, the children who follow you will all have bad grades."
"The child's family situation is a bit complicated, and I have something to ask you." Huang Ling's face suddenly became serious.
After listening to her introduction, Director Yu nodded and said, "Don't worry, leave this matter to me. I will make sure that the responsible teachers are well informed."
Huang Ling knew that it was useless to contact Wu Jianguo, and it was even more impossible to communicate with Zhang A'mei, so she did the work at the source.
She left school with Wu Shanshan.
"Everything will go well." Huang Ling comforted her.
"Well, thank you, Aunt Huang." When Huang Ling said this, Wu Shanshan knew that she had come here specifically for her and was full of gratitude.
Huang Ling handed her a mung bean popsicle.
The two ate while walking under the shade of the trees.
"Aunt Huang, I never thought of coming back after I left. I will take Xiaojun away soon, but please rest assured, Aunt Song, I will not forget your kindness to me. I will invite you to visit Guangzhou, and I will also..."
"You don't have to do anything. If you live well, our help will not be in vain."
Wu Shanshan's tears fell silently.
"I...I'm afraid you'll misunderstand me..."
"No," Huang Ling smiled. "If you have any questions, call home. If you want to come back, the door is always open to you."
"Home..." Wu Shanshan was stunned.
Huang Ling raised her chin towards the factory gate and said with a smile:
"Isn't Nichang your home? It provides you with food, clothing, and shelter. We, your sisters and aunts, don't love you enough! Everything a home should have is here..."
Wu Shanshan couldn't bear it any longer and threw herself into Huang Ling's arms.
"Shanshan, you know what I mean. When you encounter a problem, you need a solution, not just to ignore it. There's no such thing as an endless cycle in this world. Abandon, break, and reorganize... there's always a solution."
Wu Shanshan knew what Huang Ling was talking about, and this time, she cried even harder.
