Chapter 111 Chapter 111 Update
There have been a lot of things happening in Liuqiao Commune recently. First, there was a rumor that the embroidery factory was going to move away, which made the members of the dozens of villages in the area very anxious. The leaders of the commune were also very anxious. They ran back and forth to the county, and their legs were almost worn out.
As a result, the South Province Second Embroidery Factory moved away, but the original address and the original team were seamlessly connected to form the Lingjiang City Embroidery Factory. Not only did they not recruit people as everyone had guessed, but on the contrary, it was said that because more than 200 people left, they would recruit more people this year.
It was really a pleasant surprise!
The leaders of the commune, such as Zhang Zhengxiang, went to Shen Moer to express their dissatisfaction, complaining that Shen Moer was not honest and did not reveal a little bit of the trick, which made them anxious for so long.
Shen Moer explained that she didn't know whether this matter would be successful in the end, so she didn't mention it to anyone except Mayor Gu.
In fact, Zhang Zhengxiang could understand it. If the news of pulling a tooth out of the tiger's mouth of the Provincial Department of Industry had leaked out earlier, how could the tooth be pulled out?
I heard that the Provincial Department of Industry has been making a fuss about this matter recently, and it has even reached the main leaders of the province. It was also because of Shen Moer's decisiveness that the embroidery factory has now become a subsidiary enterprise of Lingjiang City. If there are any problems in the province, she will not be affected at all because of the tall Mayor Gu.
Zhang Zhengxiang's dissatisfaction with Shen Moer was fake. He was trying to find out whether the embroidery factory would move again. After all, Mayor Gu always hoped that the embroidery factory could move to the city, and he knew it.
This time, Shen Moer gave him a reassurance and told him clearly that the embroidery factory would not move again and would always stay in Liuqiao Commune. Mayor Gu also promised this.
Zhang Zhengxiang finally breathed a sigh of relief and returned with satisfaction.
In addition to the relocation, name change and recruitment of workers of the embroidery factory in the commune recently, another thing is that the embroidery factory has opened a night school.
The embroidery factory is rich, and the night school was run in a lively manner in just one week.
The teachers are not only educated youths who are recognized as having high cultural literacy and good academic performance in each brigade, but also teachers from the county high school. The educated youths are responsible for teaching on weekday evenings, and the teachers from the county high school are responsible for teaching on weekends.
The three-month study content was arranged by Cheng Tao. The first and second months are a general teaching of the main knowledge of the two years of high school, and the third month is a summary and improvement. After all the courses are completed, the night school will organize an examination, and those who pass the examination will be issued a certificate of completion.
This certificate may not be useful elsewhere, but the embroidery factory recognizes it. In other words, as long as you can get this certificate, you can participate in the recruitment examination with a high school threshold if you are an external staff, and you will have the opportunity to apply for a corresponding position if you are an internal staff.
Because of this, the night school, which was originally thought that not many people would sign up, suddenly enrolled more than 300 students.
So they simply conducted a baseline test after everyone entered the school, and divided the students into classes according to their levels.
"This is almost catching up with the number of students in the commune middle school."
Xing Fangjie never thought that what seemed to be just a sudden whim of Shen Moli would end up being such a large scale. You
should know that there were not so many students in the commune middle school originally. It was only in recent years that in order to recruit
workers, people no longer drop out of school easily before graduating from junior high school, and the number of students has been rising steadily, almost doubling from before. "We can continue to run this night school next year, and then use it as a basis to apply to open an affiliated high school." Shen Moer said as she walked, "We have visited those old state-owned factories in the province, and they have everything inside, including affiliated schools, affiliated hospitals, affiliated shops... everything you need. We are not much different from them. Originally, the province did not want to We spent money in this remote corner of Jiangbei Mountain, but now we have the final say. We can do what we should and can do. "
Xing Fangjie's eyes lit up. Her hometown is Jinshi. Before visiting the provincial capital, she knew that many old state-owned factories had affiliated schools, hospitals, and other affiliated facilities, but she never dared to think that their embroidery factories could also open these.
Now that Shen Moer said this, Xing Fangjie was suddenly enlightened.
Yes, their factory is not worse than those factories. Maybe their production capacity cannot be compared with some old state-owned factories, but their export earnings are far ahead.
They have money, but in the past, every time they spent a large sum of money, they had to get approval from the province. Now they don't have to, now they can just get approval from the city.
The money is spent locally, so there is no reason for the city not to approve it.
"Our embroidery factory, our Liuqiao Commune, will definitely get better and better!" Xing Fangjie suddenly felt more energetic. These days, they are really getting more and more promising.
The two of them talked as they walked, and soon arrived at the factory gate.
"Hey, your Fu Zhiqing still picks you up and drops you off every day?" Xing Fangjie saw the figure holding the bicycle at the door, and couldn't help but enviously said, "You two have a really good relationship."
Shen Moer smiled and asked, "Is your relationship with Principal Cheng not good?"
Xing Fangjie: "Well, we are an old married couple. He is now focusing on night school and has also signed himself up. He said that he has forgotten a lot of knowledge from high school and he took this opportunity to catch up. It's really a waste of time."
She said this, but her expression was gentle. The couple has supported each other for so many years and their relationship is indeed very good.
Shen Moer glanced at her and said casually: "Now the educated youth are returning to the city one after another, and all walks of life have undergone great changes. It would be good for Principal Cheng to learn more. Who knows, you may have the opportunity to go to college in the future? Even if you don't go to college, you can also be the principal of our affiliated high school when it is established?"
With Cheng Tao's ability and teaching level, it is actually completely possible for him to teach in junior high school. However, in recent years, more and more children from Yangliu Brigade have gone to school, and Zhou Mancang has tried his best to retain him, so Cheng Tao is still the principal of Yangliu Brigade Primary School.
Xing Fangjie said, "How could he have the chance to go to college?" In her heart, she felt sorry for her son Cheng Tao. He had very good grades and had a good chance of going to college. But he graduated from high school and the college entrance examination was suspended. He became one of the first batch of educated youth sent to the countryside.
If he really had the chance to go to college, she would have supported him to go.
After saying goodbye to Xing Fangjie at the door, Shen Moer walked to Fu Mingze's bicycle. Fu Mingze took the bag from her hand and asked, "What are you talking about?"
Shen Moer sighed: "Speaking of Principal Cheng, I heard that he had very good grades in high school, but unfortunately when he graduated, the college entrance examination was suspended, and then he went to the countryside to join the team."
She looked at Fu Mingze and asked, "You had good grades in high school. If you have the opportunity to take the college entrance examination again now, will you take it?"
The two of them have never put down their textbooks in the past few years. Under the guidance of Fu Mingze, Shen Moer has completed all the high school courses. Even so, she will occasionally take them out and flip through them, under the pretext of reviewing the old to learn the new.
Shen Moer had discovered long ago that high school courses should be very easy for Fu Zhiqing, not to mention math, physics and chemistry. Even the knowledge points in the liberal arts, he would never forget them after reading them, and he would answer them fluently no matter how many times he took them out.
So Shen Moer was not worried at all that Fu Zhiqing would not be able to get into college after retaking the college entrance examination.
However, the two of them had always been learning and teaching silently, as if studying high school courses at home was the most normal thing. They had never discussed what to do after learning, or whether they would retake the college entrance examination.
Fu Zhiqing had been doing very well in farming in the past few years, and had taught himself a lot of knowledge about agriculture and agricultural technology. He looked like he was going to devote himself to the job of agricultural technician. Shen Moer was a little unsure, and didn't know if he still wanted to go to college.
If she wanted to go to college and Fu Zhiqing wanted to stay in Liuqiao Commune to farm, wouldn't they have to live apart?
Fu Mingze looked at her and asked instead: "What about you? If you have the opportunity to take the college entrance examination, will you take it, even if it means giving up the position of director of the embroidery factory?"
His family sent him a letter saying that the central government held a symposium on science and education in early August. The content of the meeting was confidential. Of course, since his parents had returned to the capital, they naturally had channels to inquire about the news. It was said that the college entrance examination might be restarted.
In fact, Fu Mingze was still thinking about finding an opportunity to reveal this news to Shen Moli, but before he could open his mouth, he heard that she was going to open a night school in the factory, and the courses she would learn were high school courses, and they would be divided into stages and focuses... He immediately felt that there was no need to mention it.
It was all about learning, whether for a diploma or for the college entrance examination, it didn't matter, as long as the result was the same.
Fu Mingze was just a little uncertain whether Shen Moli was studying purely for the sake of learning, or if she could take the college entrance examination, she would also take it.
After all, she had just spent a lot of effort to move the embroidery factory to the city recently, and in her imagination, it seemed that she would also build an affiliated school and an affiliated store... She looked like she was ready to do something big.
If he takes the college entrance examination and goes to university, but she stays in Liuqiao Commune to continue being her factory director, wouldn't they have to live apart?
Of course, there is another possibility that Shen Moli only has a junior high school diploma and cannot take the exam.
If that is the case, Fu Mingze thinks he might as well apply to a school in Southern Province, preferably one that is closer to Lingjiang City, so that he can come back from time to time to accompany his wife and children.
The two of them pondered it in their hearts and said in unison:
"If the college entrance examination is resumed, let's try it together?"
"If there is a chance, let's try it together?"
The night school at the embroidery factory was in full swing. More than a month later, on October 21st, major media across the country announced the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination at the same time.
"The college entrance examination has been resumed! The college entrance examination has been resumed! Today's newspaper has the headline on the front page, "Major reforms in college admissions." Workers, farmers, educated youth who went to the countryside and returned home, demobilized soldiers, cadres, and high school graduates can all take the exam!"
Zhao Danqiu rushed into the administrative building of the embroidery factory holding the newspaper she had just received, shouting as she ran. Because she was shouting too hard, her voice was a little hoarse, but she still shouted with all her might, and gradually, her hoarse voice was choked with sobs.
Soon, screams and cries echoed in the administrative building.
Liu Yinshuang stumbled out of the office and snatched the newspaper from Zhao Danqiu's hand. Before she could read it clearly, she burst into tears: "I knew it, I knew it..."
Even though she had known that this day would come, too many things had changed in her life. She was not sure. Or rather, only by hearing the news with her own ears could she believe that everything was not her imagination.
Upstairs, Xing Fangjie stood at the door of his office, looking blankly at the corridor: "Why do I seem to hear someone shouting that the college entrance examination has been resumed?"
Shen Moer also stood at the door of her office, listening to the shouting and crying coming from downstairs, and smiled: "Yes, they are shouting that the college entrance examination has been resumed."
Xing Fangjie covered her eyes: "Really, the college entrance examination has been resumed..."
In the Yangliu Brigade, a bearded male educated youth was holding a newspaper that he had just snatched from Zhou Mancang, and his shoes fell off as he ran. One ran all the way to Yangliu Brigade Primary School, shouting as he ran: "Cheng Tao, the college entrance examination has been resumed, Cheng Tao——"
Cheng Tao, who was holding a lesson plan and preparing to go to class, was stunned and stood there for a long time. Until the person stood in front of him, he asked softly and tremblingly: "What did you say?"
The person wiped his face and handed over the newspaper in his hand: "Old Cheng, the college entrance examination has been resumed, educated youth can take the exam, educated youth can take the exam!"
Cheng Tao took the newspaper, stared at the front page headline for a long time, and silently took off his glasses and wiped his face.
