Song Tangcheng tasted a piece of spicy diced chicken and found it very delicious. The three of them ate and chatted at the same time.
"Lanlan, how have you been these past few days? Are you used to it?"
"It's okay, it's almost the same as being at home. Besides, my mom is easy to get along with, and I'm quite comfortable being alone."
"That's good!"
Su Tao was listening to the two sisters' daily concerns, and then she asked curiously.
"So, are you and your brother Xu getting along well? The weather isn't cold enough to wear a scarf, is it?"
After Su Tao finished speaking, Song Tanglan felt two pairs of eyes staring at her neck, which made her shrink back involuntarily. When she thought of the marks on her neck, her cheeks suddenly turned red.
"This... I only wear it because it looks good with my clothes. Besides, it's so thin it won't keep me warm!"
"Really? It seems like your married life is pretty good!" Su Tao's eyes were full of gossip, and she didn't forget to tease him.
Song Tanglan felt helpless when her friend teased her, so she quickly picked up a piece of meat for her and blocked her mouth, fearing that she would continue talking about anything obscene or vegetarian.
Seeing that her friend was angry, Su Tao stopped teasing her, fearing that she would get angry and take away the delicious food and meat in front of her, which would be a huge loss for her.
But suddenly he thought of something and said, "Lanlan, you don't know that after you got married, big things happened in the Youth House."
"What big thing happened? Tell me quickly, why are you keeping me in suspense?"
When Song Tangcheng heard this, he guessed what it was and said with disgust.
"What else could it be? It's because the brigade has places for the Agricultural Soldier University this year. Those educated youth have put in a lot of effort to return to the city, coming to curry favor with my father-in-law and Accountant Zhang every day. Fortunately, there's no single person in our family who's worth their attention, otherwise everyone would have collapsed like Zhang Tao."
When Song Tanglan heard this, he suddenly understood, but he was also more confused.
"Female educated youth can still dream of marrying Zhang Tao, but male educated youth can't marry him either!"
"You're overthinking it. They just want to build good relationships. Once the list is finalized, at least they can get Accountant Zhang to speak in their favor."
Song Tangcheng was speechless about his younger sister's bizarre idea.
Su Tao nodded upon hearing this. "You don't know that several of the female educated youth were originally planning to get engaged, but because of this incident, their plans have been delayed. Oh, and my aunt also introduced Hongying to a pretty good match. I don't know if they can still get together after hearing this news."
When Song Tanglan heard this, she guessed the reason. After all, who would be willing to give up the opportunity to go to university? If she had not married Xu Qi, and she had not traveled through time and space, and had no idea about the future development, she might have tried hard to fight for this opportunity.
"So what do you and Sun Zhiqing and the others think? Do you want to fight for it?"
"We're both married and don't want to separate for this spot. Besides, the brigade only has two spots, and it's impossible to give both to us. As for Yu He, he said he has a job now and doesn't want to continue studying. Given Jiang Zhiqing's current situation, I don't think he'll get the spot."
Song Tangcheng heard this and continued, "I also think it doesn't matter whether I take this quota or not. If it were given to me, those people would definitely say it was a case of using public power for personal gain, so I don't want it either."
Song Tanglan nodded when she heard this. Her current household registration was not in the Red Star Brigade, so she didn't have to worry about it.
"Who do you think will get the spot?"
"I don't know. I heard my father-in-law and his family mention that they want to select people based on work points. Of course, they have to have a junior high school diploma or above. Otherwise, if they can't even read, what's the point of going there?"
Su Tao was immediately delighted when she heard this. "Those lazy people in the Youth League will definitely have no chance. This is great. Let them try to please the team leader and the accountant, and then their wishes will be dashed, which will piss them off to death."
"It's no use trying to curry favor with them. In the end, it's the senior team leaders who make the final decision, not them. They even want to use their connections to get a job in the workshop, but the team leader still disagrees."
Song Tangcheng didn't care much about this. If Su Tao hadn't mentioned it just now, she wouldn't have wanted to bring up this topic with her younger sister. It was really too upsetting.
"That's true. I heard they put in so much effort to avoid working in the fields! Zhou Xiaoli went to work for Aunt Li every day, but Aunt Li refused to give in. If the news about the quota for the Agricultural and Soldier University hadn't come out, she might still be bothering Aunt Li now!"
Su Tao thought of Zhou Xiaoli pretending to be well-behaved in front of Aunt Li. Whenever she thought of that, she wanted to roll her eyes.
The truth is, everyone in the team knows Zhou Xiaoli's character, and it's too late to pretend now.
Especially after several people were arrested in the brigade last time, the people in the Youth League Academy thought that the brigade would not have any places in the Agricultural Soldier University in the next few years. For this reason, everyone revealed their true nature, which caused the brigade leader a lot of headaches.
Now, as soon as there is news about the places at the Agricultural and Soldier University, they start wagging their tails like dogs seeing bones.
Song Tanglan could now imagine that those people had tried their best to get a spot to return to the city, but no one could tell who would win in the end.
For the next five days, Song Tanglan stayed at home. When she was bored, she went to the factory to help with work. She helped her second sister pack her down jacket and chatted with them from time to time.
If they run out of fabric or accessories, run errands and help them restock.
Song Tanglan spent the whole day taking a break from her busy schedule to chat about gossip from time to time.
Everyone in the sewing group knew that she was not an employee of the factory, so when they saw that she was willing to help, they all thanked her warmly. After all, they all knew that she was not paid.
