"Yes, it must be used within three years, and the user must be between the ages of sixteen and twenty-five."
Li Mei nodded, then changed the subject to talk about something else.
After those who went to get their luggage came back, Teacher Ma did not waste any more time and took them to the car arranged by Liu Wen.
Seeing the car driving away, Liu Wen took a deep breath and called other leaders back to the meeting.
Sitting in the conference room, Liu Wen spoke first, "Although the teachers are gone, the people they trained are still here. Their professional level is no worse than those who have attended university. I want to transfer them from various factories and set up a separate R&D institute so that they can continue their research. What do you think?"
Everyone looked at each other and expressed their agreement.
Liu Wen then brought up the second point, "Those teachers have received such great favors from our county. We can't just say they're gone and don't have to repay the favor. Let's all think about how we can make them pay it back."
Upon hearing this, Li Mei quickly took out three envelopes from her pocket, placed them on the table, and then explained their origins.
After hearing this, one leader was astonished and asked, "That teacher surnamed Ma deduced that the teacher's visit to Tang County was related to you based on just one detail?"
The reason why the Wuhan University teacher applied to be transferred to Tang County was because of Li Mei. This matter had long been no secret in the eyes of the top leaders of Tang County, so Li Mei said it without any concealment.
"Yes." Li Mei smiled bitterly, "Not only that, he also deduced that we were protecting those teachers together."
"As expected of a university professor, he's quite clever," Liu Wen said with emotion. "But like he said, three places aren't enough to repay the favor. We still need to think of a way."
One leader thought for a moment and hesitated, saying, "I think it's too early to talk about this now. We should wait until they have established themselves in school and know what they can do."
"I also think it's a bit early. It's not too late to discuss this matter later." Others echoed.
Seeing that everyone said so, Liu Wen did not insist and instead discussed with them who would use the university quota.
night.
Since Li Xu, an important member, was missing, Li Mei did not tell her family about the university places, but only told them about the teachers leaving.
Unlike Li Mei, the Li family was not reluctant to let them go. Instead, they were very happy.
Because Li Ju, who has always taken her elder sister Li Mei as her role model, also plans to apply to Wuhan University, the teachers returned to the school to teach. The Li family felt that they could take care of Li Ju at school and would not let her be bullied.
The news of the teacher's departure disappeared without causing any ripples in the county.
On the third night, when Li Xu came back and heard the news, he just sighed a few words and then began to concentrate on eating.
After he finished eating, Li Mei talked about the university quota.
If an average family knew that they could get three university places, they would be so happy that they would visit their ancestors’ graves overnight.
However, the Li family members were speechless after learning about this.
It was basically no surprise that Li Ju and Li Wenbai were admitted to university, which means that the places can only be given to other people.
But the problem is that except for him, the rest of Li Wenbai's generation are not cut out for study.
This makes everyone feel that it is a waste to use the quota on them.
After a moment of silence, Sun Xiu asked hesitantly, "Xiaomei, what do you think?"
"My younger sister is a sure thing for college entrance, so I'm thinking that if Wenbo doesn't get in this time, I'll give him one spot, and the remaining two will be given to Hongtao and Wenze respectively. If Wenbo gets in, the extra spot will go to Botao."
Her arrangements were indeed reasonable.
Because according to the requirements for the use of quotas, apart from Li Wenbai, who is already sixteen years old this year, only Li Hongtao, Li Botao and Li Wenzhe can meet the standards within three years.
Three of the four are Li Ping's sons, and only Li Wenzhe is Li Xu's son.
So Li Wenzhe must take up a place no matter what.
Hearing this, Li Wenbo immediately said, "Aunt, I will definitely be admitted to university, and the extra place will be given to Botao."
He spoke quickly, and Li Botao responded even faster, saying "I don't want it" right away.
Li Hongtao and Li Wenzhe were not willing to be outdone and responded with “I don’t want it either.”
The Li family members: ...
Everyone was almost laughing because of the three of them.
They don't even want things that others dare not even dream of.
Hu Guilan stepped forward and slapped Li Hongtao and Li Botao on the head. "You two little bastards, don't you want me to hear you say another word?"
Du Hong also slapped Li Wenzhe on the head. "It's been so long since you've been spanked, are you itching for a fight?"
The two men used considerable force, hitting Li Hongtao and the other two so hard that they covered their heads and gasped for breath.
Li Mei couldn't help but shook her head. "If university places weren't so precious, I wouldn't want to give them to outsiders. And if my family didn't have any other children to choose from, I really wouldn't want to give them three."
"Don't talk about you, I feel the same way. If there are other options, I will never let Wen Ze use this quota." Li Xu said unhappily.
"The child is ignorant, and he will be fine after some treatment," Li Jiakang continued. "Send them to the countryside tomorrow and let them do farm work for two months. I guarantee that in the future, you won't dare to say anything when you say one thing, and you won't dare to chase away chickens when you say catch a dog."
Li Ping and Li Xu looked at each other, then responded at the same time, saying that they would send their children to the countryside next year.
The three of them couldn't help but shudder. Li Hongtao quickly shouted, "Dad, I'm going to college. Can you please not send me to the countryside?"
"You think you have the right to bargain?" Li Ping glared. "I'm telling you, both of you brothers have to go. Whoever dares not go, I'll break his legs."
