The school is very cautious about choosing which students to study abroad, after all, this matter has attracted too much attention.
After more than a month of twists and turns, the list of candidates who were awarded the school's government-sponsored study abroad quota was finally announced.
Even if Linglong didn't want to know, she heard it from her roommates.
When the quotas were announced, the craze finally subsided.
But many people still yearn for foreign countries.
Linglong and the other students who were among the first batch of students who took the college entrance examination after its resumption are now in their junior year.
Although the school's top class of seniors is small in number, it still has its members.
In the past, there was a line between those who went to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University through recommendation and those who passed the entrance exam to study there.
This time, the senior students who are about to graduate are eager to choose to study abroad on government scholarships.
But when the list came out, there wasn’t a single senior on it.
For this reason, the seniors were very dissatisfied and even gathered many of them to go to the relevant school leaders to report the matter and ask them to give them an explanation.
Privately, both the school leaders and the students are aware of the overall gap between the students of the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University and those who have been admitted to these universities.
When you go abroad on a government scholarship, you have to represent the country and show your respect, so of course you have to choose the best.
At this time, it is not enough to just have a high level of ideological awareness.
I know these things in my heart but I can't say them out loud.
Linglong was also very curious about how the school leaders would handle this matter.
After all, even if they know clearly in their hearts that the problem is not the lack of wealth but the uneven distribution of wealth, senior students will still feel uncomfortable.
What if they make such a fuss, they can get a spot?
Unfortunately, the result disappointed them.
After all, they were all still students who had not graduated. The leaders just used their diplomas as a weapon and said something, and these people all lost their enthusiasm.
After studying hard for several years in college, they are about to graduate in a few months. Even if they are workers, peasants and soldiers, they are still college graduates after graduation, and the value of their education does not affect their ability to get a stable job.
Unless they are crazy, they will not joke about their own future.
"I thought they were so strong, but this is all."
"The selection process was originally about selecting the best. They chose sophomores and juniors, and they also wanted good English. Seniors are about to graduate. Are they going to be sent out directly to graduate school? That wouldn't be suitable in the first place."
"That's right, no matter which way you look at it, it's not their turn."
Linglong listened to everyone's discussion calmly.
In recent years, one can only go abroad through government-sponsored scholarships.
In a few years, the policy will gradually be relaxed, and more people will study abroad at their own expense.
Even though studying abroad requires a lot of money and the family cannot afford it, many people will still sell their belongings and borrow money to scrape together the money to go abroad.
She remembered a widely circulated joke about someone who thought living abroad was good and sold his yard in Beijing to raise money for going abroad.
As a result, after working hard abroad for many years, when I returned to my hometown, the money I earned over the years could not even afford to buy the old house I used to live in.
This is indeed a true portrayal of many people who go abroad.
Linglong herself was not keen on going abroad because of her different experiences. When her family discussed going abroad, she didn't expect her sister-in-law's remarks to make her want to laugh.
Although Zheng Tianxin's school is not as good as Linglong's, it is not bad either. All schools have started to offer government-sponsored study abroad programs. Their school just has fewer students, but they also have places.
They are the only two college-aged kids in the family, so of course everyone wants to hear their ideas.
Linglong hid some of her inner thoughts and said some of them out loud. The gist of it was that she was not very interested in going abroad and could not let go of her home.
She is married and has children, so she doesn't want to go out. Her family thinks it makes sense.
When everyone looked at Zheng Tianxin, he shrugged. "Those who can go abroad are so talented. I know my limitations. I've done my best to get into university. Besides, I definitely wouldn't be used to eating and living abroad. Even if I could go, I wouldn't want to."
It really is, a very Zheng Tianxin answer.
"You, you have always been so unmotivated." Zeng Yu nodded at her daughter. She was not angry, nor did she hope that her daughter would study abroad. She just thought that the girl's temperament was helpless and funny.
"Very good." Father Zheng smiled.
He is not old-fashioned, but he is very happy to see that the children are willing to stay in the country.
Linglong thought about this matter again after lying down at night.
In fact, she didn't think it was a big deal if she went abroad to study or work.
If Congcong wants to study abroad when he grows up, she, as a mother, will not object.
As long as my son's patriotism remains unchanged, it doesn't matter where he is.
She was not feeling well before, and she was actually still sad, sad that we were not that strong yet.
The clothing store is now on the right track, and Sister Luo is doing a great job.
Sister Luo didn’t get much in the first month’s salary because she was still in the probation period, but when the second month’s salary was paid to Sister Luo, she was shocked.
Just because I got a salary of 1,600 yuan.
"Linglong, this is too much."
Linglong closed her hands. "Here, this is it. Sister Luo, as long as you work hard and the store performs well, you can earn more in the future."
"Yes, Sister Luo." Xiao Jiang agreed.
Sister Luo was so excited that tears were about to fall.
This money means so much to her.
She was not liked by her mother-in-law because she had a daughter. Her husband earned little, and the family lived in a small house. She always had to look at her mother-in-law's face, and she felt very depressed.
After learning that they were recruiting here, she tried to sign up, and unexpectedly she passed.
In order to work, she weaned her daughter who was just over six months old and sent her to her mother's home to help take care of her.
Thinking of earning more money, she moved out of her husband's house and started living on her own.
Knowing that she sent her daughter back to her parents' home to work, and not even in a formal factory, her mother-in-law mocked her countless times.
Even her husband supported her at first, but later he began to waver.
God knows how much pressure she is under.
When she received her first month's salary, she said she wanted to rent a house outside. Her husband was worried that her job might not be stable or long-term, so he asked her to wait and see.
Now, she received a salary of 1,600 yuan, which was more than her husband's three-month salary combined.
Her husband has to pay some living expenses for his mother-in-law from his salary, but she can keep all of her salary.
Now they can finally move out and have their own little home.
She could rent a slightly bigger house and let her mother move in with her.
Her family's conditions were not good either. Her father had passed away, her brother had just gotten married, and their house was very small.
My sister-in-law has a very bad relationship with her mother and has always wanted her mother to move out to make room.
When she sent her daughter home, her sister-in-law was very unhappy.
If she had no choice, she would not choose to send her daughter back.
Fortunately, she now sees hope.
During these six months, Sister Luo was completely won over.
