Chapter 28 Journalist Interview
Gao Jialin only used two sentences and a cry and a smile to give Qin Baosheng and others a severe blow.
This is much better than cursing. The changes in expressions of Ma Yue and others are enough to prove that Gao Jialin chose the right method. In front of these big leaders, the more restrained you are, the more easily they will be moved.
If it were grassroots cadres, the situation would be the other way around, because they are in a different environment, have a different status, and naturally have different preferences and ways of doing things.
It was not until Gao Jialin's crying subsided that Ma Yue came over and patted his shoulder to comfort him, "Jialin, it's okay, it's all over. You will be able to go to college soon. This is a good thing, so don't be sad!"
Gao Jialin wiped away tears and continued to flatter Qin Baosheng, Gao Minglou, Ma Zhansheng and others, "Thank you, leaders. If it weren't for you, I would have missed this opportunity. You have also seen the conditions of my family, and my parents have borrowed a lot of debts to support my studies. If I can't go to college this year, I'm afraid I will have to give up my studies and go home to farm!"
Ma Yue fell silent for a moment. He walked straight into the cave without saying anything. The situation inside also confirmed what Gao Jialin said. The family could be described as penniless. It was indeed difficult for such a family to support their children to repeat their studies.
And even if Gao Jialin repeated a year and successfully passed the entrance exam, he still could not go to university because Gao Minglou had already transferred his household registration, and Gao Minglou would definitely not allow Gao Jialin to pass the exam.
At that time, he would only need to use some small tricks to ruin Gao Jialin's college entrance examination, such as bribing a few gangsters before the college entrance examination and letting them find an excuse to beat Gao Jialin up, so that he could not take the exam.
"Leader, come and have some water!" Gao Yude nervously poured a bowl of water over. This was what their family usually used to entertain guests.
Gao Yude took a long time to pick out a relatively intact bowl, but after Ma Yue took it, he still found a few small cracks on the edge of the bowl.
He took a sip of water and asked, "Brother, it's not easy for your family to support your children to study, right?"
"We have to support our child to study, no matter how difficult it is. I would have accepted it if my child didn't study well and couldn't pass the exam. But now he has passed the exam, but has become like this. I... I can't accept it!" Gao Yude didn't know until now why Gao Jialin didn't receive the admission letter. As he spoke, he couldn't help but burst into tears, and the tears made grooves on his dusty face.
Ma Yue was distressed by this scene. Fortunately, their family had a good boy like Gao Jialin, who was able to find out the truth of the matter and thought of writing a letter of complaint to their unit. If it were a duller child, he would probably just accept his fate.
Ma Yue comforted Gao Yude and asked him for the account book to look at. The account book was made using Gao Jialin's old exercise book. Both sides were filled with Gao Jialin's homework. The handwriting was neat and tidy, and it was full of check marks made by the teacher. It was obvious at a glance that it was something from a good student.
Gao Yude recorded the account with crooked symbols that only he could understand. He pointed to the account and read it to Ma Yue one by one. This three yuan fifty-six cents was borrowed from the neighbor, and this four yuan thirty-seven cents was from Uncle Jialin. Ma Yue waved and called Zhang Lifeng over, who took a photo of the account book. When he returned the account book, he comforted him, "Brother, Jialin is now admitted to university, and your family's life will definitely get better and better."
"Can Jialin really go to college?" Gao Yude still couldn't believe it.
Ma Yue, Zheng Zhihua, Jin Guoping and others gave him assurances one after another, which made him smile happily. "My Lord, you finally made the decision for us!"
Such a simple performance is even better than Gao Chenglin's acting. This account book will remain deep in Ma Yue's mind for a long time, and perhaps there will be a chance for it to appear in the newspapers. Correspondingly, the treatment of Gao Minglou and others will become more serious.
After sitting for a while, Ma Yue and the others stood up and prepared to leave. "Okay, just wait at home for the next few days. Good news will come soon!"
"Why are you leaving so fast? Eat first! Jialin's mother, why are you still standing there like an idiot? Hurry up and kill the chicken and cook!" Gao Yude suddenly became anxious. It didn't make sense for a guest at home to leave without eating.
Jin Guoping hurriedly stopped him, "No, no, the leaders still have work to do. They have to deal with this matter quickly. The sooner it is dealt with, the sooner Jialin can get the notice back."
"No matter how busy you are, you still have to eat, right? You guys came all the way here to help Jialin, I'd feel bad if you didn't have a meal!"
"Brother, let's just forget it this time. When I return the notice in a few days, I will not only have a meal with you, but also drink with you." Jin Guoping had already made up his mind to bring him two new pens by then. He just saw that the pens Gao Jialin put on the table were wrapped with tape and tied with string, and would soon be unusable.
After a long period of refusals, Gao Yude reluctantly let everyone leave. Ma Yue, Zheng Zhihua, Jin Guoping and others continued to lead the team to handle the case, but Zhang Lifeng stayed behind as he still wanted to interview Gao Jialin.
While he was concentrating on the interview with Gao Chenglin, Gao Yangshi quickly went out to kill the old hen, plucked the feathers, gutted it, chopped it into pieces, and quickly stewed it. She had no idea what the reporter was doing, but she treated him as a big leader from the capital and must treat him well.
"Student Jialin, it must have been very hard for you to study these years?" Zhang Lifeng took out his shorthand notebook and asked the first question.
Gao Jialin was silent for a moment and then answered, "For me, it's not hard at all. I have loved studying since I was a child, and now I can go to college. When I think of the wonderful life I will have in college, I don't feel tired even if I get up at dawn every day and study until late at night!"
"It's really hard. I'm already 18 years old. Most of the younger people in the village have already started to help their families with housework to ease the burden, but I can only watch my parents toil all day long. If I hadn't had the hope of going to college, I would have gone home to farm with them a long time ago!"
As one question after another was asked, Zhang Lifeng's impression of Gao Jialin became better and better. This kid is not only good at studying, but also very sensible. Almost every sentence he said touched on what he cared about most, and the answers he gave would definitely please the leaders and readers.
The wording and sentence structure were also very good, and these answers could be published directly in the newspaper without much modification, saving him a lot of time and energy.
After the last question was asked, Zhang Lifeng couldn't help but say, "Jia Lin, I see that your Chinese score in the college entrance examination is very high, and you applied for the Chinese Department. So are you interested in writing an article to record your learning experience and encourage students to study hard?"
