"Guoqing's wife, this is the letter of introduction I wrote for you. Take it to the elementary school principal later!"
That very evening, the brigade leader wrote a letter of introduction for Lin Xue, planning to find a time the next day to personally go to the primary school and give the principal a heads-up.
We mustn't make things difficult for his nephew's wife then.
This is a self-taught top scholar.
If my wife can get her elementary school diploma during the National Day holiday, and if she continues to study as diligently as she does now, it's not impossible that she might get her junior high school diploma in the future.
After observing the learning atmosphere at Lin Xue's home, the brigade leader had a hunch that Lin Xue's academic journey would not end here.
"My dear wife, there are some things I'm not sure if I should ask you!"
"If you get your elementary school graduation certificate, would you still want to take the exam to get a higher one?"
When he asked this question, Lin Xue wasn't surprised, but it greatly shocked Grandma Wang and the brigade leader's wife.
Even if someone is talented, it's already quite remarkable if they can learn to get an elementary school diploma on their own.
Why is this person still thinking about their junior high school diploma?
Is it really that easy to get a junior high school graduation certificate?
"Uncle, to be honest, I find learning to be a very interesting thing, and as long as conditions permit, I will definitely continue to learn!"
"It's not for any other reason than that if there's a job opportunity in the future, having this certificate will give me a better chance than others!"
"Even if I don't need it in the future, it's still very important for me to read books and newspapers and keep up with the country's development and social changes!"
Someone has already brought the ladder to her feet, so why wouldn't Lin Xue take the opportunity to climb up?
His words not only surprised the two old ladies, but also deeply shocked the brigade leader.
"Third Aunt, I think you're absolutely right! Even the great man said that women hold up half the sky. We women comrades must also study hard and strive to create a great career!"
Wang Yaqin felt that her third aunt shared the same idea.
For girls, having a diploma makes things much easier, whether it's getting married or finding a job in the future.
Even if they were both toiling in the fields, those with education could at least become scorekeepers or something similar in the team, which was better than those who couldn't read a single word and whose only path was to bury themselves in hard work.
“Guoqing’s family, I’ve remembered what you said today. I hope that one day you will keep your word and bring honor to our Wang family and our Qingliu Brigade!”
The captain was also deeply moved by Lin Xue's eagerness to learn, and he patiently repeated his words of encouragement to her.
"First, bring honor to the women of our village, then to the commune, and finally, it would be best if we could bring honor to the country!"
Wang Yaqin clenched her fists excitedly and added a few more words after the brigade leader's speech.
"Mom is great, Mom has brought us honor, and we will bring you honor too!"
Wang Yating had been listening intently for a while, having overheard the lively conversation.
When Wang Yaqin spoke about winning glory for the country, our little Yating couldn't help herself. She put down her pen and imitated her aunt, clenching her fist and shaking it back and forth, looking incredibly cute.
"Hahaha!"
After seeing off the brigade leader and Old Mrs. Wang, Lin Xue also took her two children and crawled into bed.
We've taken a small step toward our goal. Now, all we need to do is hunt well, sell our catch, and save some money to prepare for the future.
That night, Lin Xue tossed and turned, thinking about many things.
I finally drifted off to sleep in the early hours of the morning.
Ten days passed in a flash. Lin Xue hunted during the day, studied at night, and did not neglect her daily task of cutting pig feed.
That morning, Lin Xue glanced at the pile of smoked pheasants and rabbits in the space and decided it was time to go out and sell a batch.
So they asked Grandma Wang to help take care of the two children and look after the house.
He then carried a basket on his back and headed towards the county town.
This time, Lin Xue went to town not only to sell her game, but also to find out where Wang Guoqing worked from Grandma Wang, planning to visit him on the way.
She arrived at the commune without any problems. She first went to the state-run restaurant for a delicious breakfast, and then disguised herself and went into the black market.
The game sold out very quickly, as it consisted of smoked pheasants and rabbits, and was snapped up by the crowd in no time.
Lin Xue left the black market with a large wad of cash in her pocket, and of course, she didn't forget to buy some old-looking and valuable items.
Lin Xue had never studied antique appraisal, so she didn't know the value of these items, but she could roughly tell that they were old objects.
She lamented once again that she didn't have enough space, but now that even the system was gone, what could she do?
After leaving the black market, Lin Xue went straight to Wang Guoqing's workplace.
This is a machinery factory. Lin Xue learned from the gatekeeper that Wang Guoqing and his colleagues would not be able to get off work until 11:30.
I glanced at the sky and figured it was getting late, so I sat in the guardhouse, chatting with the old man while waiting for Wang Guoqing and the others to get off work.
According to Grandma Wang, Wang Guoqing was able to work here as a temporary worker because he had once saved a master craftsman at the machinery factory. Out of gratitude, the master craftsman brought Wang Guoqing in.
Because the machine factory wasn't hiring at the moment, the master craftsman only gave him a temporary job.
However, during this period, the master chef trained Wang Guoqing like an apprentice.
Although the master craftsman's apprenticeship spot had already been taken by his other apprentice, Wang Guoqing's apprenticeship was somewhat illegitimate.
But the master craftsman taught him sincerely, so if the factory hires again, Wang Guoqing's chances will be greater than others.
To avoid an awkward silence, Lin Xue took out some melon seeds and peanuts that she had specifically bought from the supply and marketing cooperative.
The two of us chatted and ate sunflower seeds together, which wasn't boring at all.
It wasn't until workers started coming out of the factory gate that Lin Xue realized they had finished work.
"Grandpa, my girlfriend and her colleagues should have finished work by now. I'll wait at the door; I'm afraid he won't be able to see me if I stay inside!"
Lin Xue had almost finished eating the sunflower seeds she brought, so she didn't plan to take the rest. Instead, she picked up her basket and went to the gate of the guardhouse.
"National Day, National Day!"
From afar, Lin Xue saw Wang Guoqing walking out of the gate, and she immediately waved to him.
"Sherry!"
Upon seeing Lin Xue, Wang Guoqing jumped up with joy and ran to her side in a few steps.
Wang Guoqing is very tall and good-looking, and his appearance has always attracted much attention.
Seeing his unconventional side now has attracted the attention of countless young women and wives.
At the same time, many eyes were also drawn to Lin Xue, but unfortunately, neither of them paid much attention to it.
"Wife, what brings you here?"
Wang Guoqing took the basket from Lin Xue's back. "Come on, I'll take you to eat!"
