As for how outsiders knew about this, it was because Miao Hong was very angry. She felt that her family had been very helpful to Mrs. An's family over the years, but now that they could be of use, they just threw up their hands and did nothing.
So, the couple had lived in harmony for decades, but this time they couldn't help but have a quarrel, and most of the village could hear it.
The villagers said all kinds of things. Some said that An Hongdou was a married girl, and married into a wealthy family. Even if she wanted to help her parents' family, she might not be able to make the decision.
Some also say that An Hongdou's family is ungrateful. After all, everyone can see how much An Delai has taken care of their family over the years.
No matter what others say, An Hongdou knows in her heart that before she came here, the original owner did a lot of evil things by relying on An Delai's power.
It is reasonable for her to help them when she is able.
And there is Mrs. An...
After chatting with Zhao Xiaoyue and knowing what she wanted to know, An Hongdou asked Shen Xiangzhi, "Do you think we can install a telephone at home?"
She had seen it before. Mr. Shen had one at home, but it was not at home, so it was not very convenient to use.
Shen Xiangzhi thought about it and said, “It should be possible. I will go to the telecommunications bureau to ask another day.”
It would be better to install a telephone at home. Now he uses the school number to contact people, which is indeed inconvenient sometimes.
"Why don't you ask me why I suddenly want to install a phone?" Knowing that there was no one around, An Hongdou hugged his arm like a spoiled child.
Suddenly I realized that finding a man like Shen Xiangzhi is actually quite good.
As for his own requirements, he always does what he can and speaks with facts, instead of asking questions everywhere and asking every question thoroughly.
Of course, this does not rule out the possibility that he has his own secrets.
Shen Xiangzhi tapped her nose lightly and said with a smile: "I just saw you and Zhao Xiaoyue talking in the yard. What else can you not understand? Did Er Gouzi's job search here cause gossip back home?"
In fact, he wanted to ask directly whether the sisters-in-law at home were quarreling, but after all, they were An Hongdou's family, so he had to leave some room in his words.
"It's about Maixiang from my second uncle's family..." An Hongdou explained.
If she guessed correctly, her sisters-in-law should also have had some thoughts on this.
Of course, Shen Xiangzhi also thought of what she could think of.
It was easy to handle the work of one or two people, but if so many people came at once, and they were obviously related to him, even if Shen Xiangzhi had great ability, he would not dare to arrange so many jobs blatantly.
If he really did this, wouldn't it be equivalent to handing his handle directly into the hands of others?
"What do you think about this matter?" Shen Xiangzhi asked An Hongdou.
"What else can I think? My second uncle has helped me a lot, so I should help Mai Xiang. However, Mai Xiang's grades in high school were very good, so it would be a pity if she went straight into work. She should wait two years to take the college entrance examination. I have reminded her before not to lose her books. Who knows when the college entrance examination will be resumed. I just don't know if she has taken it to heart."
An Hongdou said this after considering the actual situation. Today's universities are commonly known as workers, peasants and soldiers universities. Most of the students are recommended by grassroots personnel and require approval from leaders, so it is not easy to get in.
Now, there is still a year and a half before the college entrance examination, and the country needs to supplement talents. The first batch of college students after the resumption of the college entrance examination will shine in all walks of life in the future.
It would be such a pity if Mai Xiang gave up her studies and chose to work.
Shen Xiangzhi has also learned from An Hongdou about the resumption of the college entrance examination and the direction of the world in the future.
Including what he had done, he was a little uneasy before, not knowing whether what he did was right or not. But after knowing these things, he realized that he had done nothing wrong.
The development of society requires people to drive it forward, and even more so, it requires technological progress.
When their plans abroad succeed, it will ultimately benefit national development.
"What you said makes sense. Once the phone at home is installed, I'll call my second uncle. I think he should be somewhat convinced by what I say." The situation had not yet stabilized, so he didn't dare to say that the college entrance examination would definitely be resumed.
But after all, he is a university teacher. It would be better for him to tell An Maixiang not to give up her studies than An Hongdou to say it.
Installing a telephone was not that easy. Shen Xiangzhi ran around for two days and found several people to get the application approved, but it would take another half a month before it was actually installed.
He was afraid that if the time was delayed too long, things would get even worse back home, so he simply calculated the time when Ande would go to town for a meeting and called from somewhere else.
When An Delai first heard what Chen Xiangzhi said, he thought they were unwilling to help and were making excuses to shirk their responsibilities. But after listening to Chen Xiangzhi's analysis, he found it made more and more sense.
When I got home, I told An Maixiang to study hard every day and not think about anything else for the time being.
Miao Hong was so angry at the old man that she pointed at his nose and cursed, "You are already several decades old, and you still believe his excuses. If the college entrance examination could be restored, it would have been restored long ago. Look how many years it has been. All the people in the educated youth camp have given up on returning to the city. This year, several of them have found girls and boys from our village to start families. If the college entrance examination could be restored, would they still be willing to settle down in our village?"
Although their household registration had been moved here when they went to the countryside, both they themselves and the villagers always felt that they came from the city and would have to go back sooner or later.
But once you get married, it's different.
For country people who move to the city, there are no welfare subsidies and no jobs, so it is very difficult to survive. If they find a country man or wife, it means they have truly accepted their fate and have chosen to settle down here.
"I don't care what others think, but I still think what my niece's husband said makes sense. Our country needs talents, so we can't suppress the college entrance examination forever. Our daughter has been in school for so many years, and she has always been in the top few in every exam. It's a pity for her to just find a job like her two brothers. I am also unwilling to accept this. If our family can have a college student, it will truly change our family's status in the future, and our ancestors' graves will be filled with smoke..."
Miao Hong still felt that there was little hope for this matter, but her tone was not so firm. "Even if the college entrance examination is really resumed, it will take many years. Don't you see how old your daughter is? Girls' youth only lasts for a few years. You can't just wait and not get married, right? If they get married and have children in the future, do you think any family can be so easy to talk to Xiangzhi's family and let a woman who is already a mother ignore her children and go to school instead?"
