"What do you think the commune is going to announce?"
"What else can happen, other than to resume the college entrance examination!"
"I don't think it's just about resuming the college entrance examination. It's just a notice to resume the college entrance examination. You can make it clear on the radio. You don't need to summon us all to the threshing floor to inform us in person."
"I heard that Secretary Zhao has just taken over the work of Changfeng Commune. The new official has taken over the job with three goals. Maybe he wants to light a fire in our brigade..."
There were quite a few people who gathered together to make guesses. When the meeting officially started, Bai Su had to sigh that these people were the emperors of truth.
Because Secretary Zhao summoned all the members to the threshing floor of the brigade, and the first thing he announced was to resume the college entrance examination.
"Comrades, this time I come to inspect the work of your brigade. First of all, I have an important news to announce, that is, our country has resumed the college entrance examination."
Although the news had spread long ago, it was announced by the newly appointed Secretary Zhao and received warm applause from all the members and educated youth.
The educated youths who were looking forward to this day clapped their hands so vigorously that their hands turned red.
When the applause gradually died down, Secretary Zhao continued: "Some commune members and educated youth comrades may have no idea about the resumption of the college entrance examination. Let me explain in detail. This time the college entrance examination is resumed, workers and peasants, going to the mountains and countryside, and educated youth returning to their hometowns, will
Demobilized servicemen, cadres and recent high school graduates can participate."
"Those admitted through the examination will be given priority to attend key colleges, medical schools, normal colleges and agricultural colleges. After graduation, the state will uniformly assign jobs..."
Warm applause sounded like thunder again.
The educated youths, led by Zhao Qingrou and Su Xiaoxiao, even had tears in their eyes.
Even the brigade members were excited.
Because once you pass the exam, it is an opportunity to change your destiny. After going to college, you can get a job assigned by the state.
And some schools also provide subsidies, so you only need to collect the money for travel expenses to school.
Just when all the educated youth and members were full of enthusiasm, Secretary Zhao signaled them to be quiet, and then continued: "This exam is scheduled for December, which means there are still three months."
"Members and educated youth who want to take the exam should go back to the brigade headquarters to register, and then our commune will submit the list to the county education bureau..."
Before Secretary Zhao finished speaking, the commune members and educated youth felt as if cold water was pouring down on them, drenching them to the bone.
You haven’t got the textbooks or review materials yet, and there are only three months until the exam?
Even if you are cramming for the moment, you have to be able to hold it over.
First there was a sound of wailing, then there were whispers, and then the second news came through, and they couldn't help but sigh and become anxious.
Because next, Secretary Zhao lit up a fire just as some prophecies in the brigade said.
"Comrades, announcing the news about the college entrance examination is the first thing I did when I came to the brigade, and then I will talk about the second thing."
Secretary Zhao looked around and paused.
Just when the commune members and educated youth were wondering what the heck he was doing, Secretary Zhao finally continued.
"The second thing is that according to the regulations of the county, the cadres of the brigade will be elected in the future. Only the cadres selected by all our members and educated youth comrades can better serve everyone."
As soon as the news was announced, the members and educated youth all exploded.
Secretary Qi's face turned red and white.
Not only did he lose his prestige in the brigade, but in order to prevent the educated youth members from asking for leave to go to the county town to buy materials, he also said that these were evil practices and could not be tolerated.
Originally, he had little prestige in the Peace Brigade. As soon as the news about Secretary Zhao was announced, the educated youth started talking among themselves.
"Let's choose the captain. He's a pretty good person."
"That's right, Secretary Qi also said that if we want to take the college entrance examination and return to the city, we must get the approval of the brigade headquarters. Will he prevent us from returning to the city?"
"The news of Professor Kong and Professor Lin's return to the city hasn't come out yet, will they be suppressed by him?"
Everything was said, and the educated youths were so excited that they didn't even care who was standing around them.
When Qi Zhishu heard these comments, his face turned blue.
At this time, Secretary Zhao called him: "Comrade Qi, this time the brigade cadres should take the form of voting!"
"Nominate first, then write the list of nominees on paper and let the brigade members make their selections."
After a chaotic discussion, there was a long list of nominations. In addition to the original brigade cadres Qi Zhishu and Li Zhiqiang, there were also accountants and brigade militia officer Ge Qingmin.
And because of Bai Su's reputation in the Peace Brigade, many educated youths and commune members supported her and nominated her.
Even Zhou Changqing and Zhao Qingrou are among the nominees.
Feeling the enthusiasm of the brigade members and educated youths, Zhou Changqing was a little moved.
He stood up and said: "Secretary Zhao, I just discussed with Zhao Qingrou and Comrade Bai Su. Because we have to register for the college entrance examination and cannot serve the brigade members and educated youth better, we have decided that all members of the pharmacy will withdraw from this place.
Nominated twice.”
This proposal was very reasonable, and Secretary Zhao certainly nodded in agreement.
Zhou Changqing changed the topic at this time: "But I have a few words to say about this election of brigade cadres. I wonder if Secretary Zhao can give me a few minutes?"
Secretary Zhao quite admired Zhou Changqing and nodded.
"OK!"
He agreed and asked Zhou Changqing: "Zhou Zhiqing, what do you have to say?"
Secretary Zhao agreed to let Zhou Changqing speak, and Zhou Changqing climbed up the haystack.
He spoke in a loud voice: "Uncles and aunts of the Peace Brigade, and members of the educated youth community, I want to say a few words to take up some of your time."
"Secretary Zhao just talked about the resumption of the college entrance examination. I believe many people, like me, are also anxious that they only have three months to prepare for the college entrance examination. Many people don't even have the textbooks and review materials, so how can they take the exam?"
"After my daughter-in-law Lu Lanhua read the provincial newspaper and learned about the resumption of the college entrance examination, many people asked for leave from the brigade and wrote letters of introduction to the county to buy textbooks."
"To be honest, this delays the production work of our team."
My back hurts when I stand and talk!
Who doesn’t want to get textbooks and information as early as possible?
The educated youths slandered in their hearts that Zhou Changqing had already prepared and had all the teaching materials and information at hand, so there was no rush.
At this time, Zhou Changqing continued: "In order not to delay the production of our brigade, the brigade leader has already thought of this problem for you. The day I just came back from the county seat, he came to the door and asked me to tell my brother-in-law He Yan to let him
While driving the car, I helped the educated youth members of our brigade bring teaching materials and review materials from the provincial capital."
"It was also said that in order to better serve the educated youth, the literacy class will be temporarily suspended and the brigade library will be freed up for exchange and study among the educated youth members."
