Among all the opportunities to return to the city, getting into college and returning to the city is a shortcut. No one wants to give up this opportunity, so they must make sure it is foolproof.
"The college entrance examination is a top priority. They have no intention of working in the pharmacy these days. I will ask those who are taking the exam to ask for leave in advance."
Li Zhiqiang discussed with Bai Su: "Can you wait here? I'm going to the pharmacy now to ask who wants to stay in a guest house in the county. I just happened to take you and Comrade Yuan Jianguo's car to the county."
In this way, half of them can be diverted to the county seat in advance, and one tractor in the brigade can take care of it on the day of the exam.
It simply solved his urgent need!
Bai Su nodded in reply, and Li Zhiqiang and Ge Qingmin hurriedly ran to the pharmacy to give the notice.
It is not just the educated youths in the pharmacy who are thinking about the college entrance examination and have no intention of working. At Qianjin Elementary School, Lanhua's former colleagues Feng Jiaojiao and Liu Fanyang are also preparing for the upcoming college entrance examination.
In order to implement the commune's requirement to serve the educated youth and social comrades, the Advance Brigade also issued a notice that on the day of the college entrance examination, tractors would be arranged to transport the educated youth members to the county examination room.
Feng Jiaojiao, like Zhao Qingrou, also felt that she should go to the county in advance to familiarize herself with the examination room, so that nothing could go wrong.
Principal Qi and her mother-in-law are very concerned about it. The college entrance examination is now her only chance to return to the city.
The day after tomorrow is the day of the big exam, and Feng Jiaojiao is determined to go to the county town one day in advance.
After preparing documents, stationery, and letters of introduction, Feng Jiaojiao came to the principal's office to ask for leave, and saw Qi Xinghuai entering the principal's office.
Qi Xinghuai said in front of his father-in-law that she would leave Qi Guoqiang and her children and return to the city after she was admitted to college. Feng Jiaojiao disliked this cousin who had been the party secretary of the Peace Brigade.
Seeing that he suddenly came to the school to see Principal Qi, Feng Jiaojiao was more cautious and did not go directly to the office. She hid under the window and eavesdropped.
"Xinghuai, how are things arranged?"
"It's been arranged. I said I have to go to the county town to do some business the day after tomorrow. Captain Feng promised to let me drive a tractor to send the educated youth members of our brigade to the county town for the exam."
Qi Xinghuai, who was talking to Principal Qi inside, suddenly lowered his voice: "Don't worry, cousin, the tractors in our team often break down. If the tractor breaks down on the road, I can't be blamed."
Principal Qi seemed to be relieved: "Well, Lu Lanhua has made a bad start."
"She sent a set of study materials to Jiaojiao. Jiaojiao is determined to take the college entrance examination. She also lied to me that even if she passed the exam, she would not leave Guoqiang and Sener back to the city. Can I believe this?"
"Jiaojiao is a person who is used to living a good life, and she doesn't want to suffer at all. Not long after she joined our team, she married Guoqiang."
With the college entrance examination approaching, he tried every possible means to retain Feng Jiaojiao for his son Qi Guoqiang, but Principal Qi said something heartbreaking.
"Guo Qiang was so worried about having his hair cut that he insisted on marrying Feng Jiaojiao. At that time, she came to work in line and pretended to be sick every day and refused to work. She married Guo Qiang. I think she wanted to be a teacher at Qianjin Primary School so she wouldn't have to work in the fields."
"Yes, the daughter-in-law you married can't endure hardships and is very ambitious. How can she be willing to follow Guoqiang and live her life wholeheartedly?"
Qi Xinghuai analyzed: "When she said she was admitted to university and would take Guoqiang and Sen'er back to Haishi, I think she just wanted to fool you and your sister-in-law."
"If you want to keep her in the brigade and live with Guoqiang, you have to break her wings so that she can't take the college entrance examination."
Qi Xinghuai comforted Principal Qi: "Don't worry, cousin, the tractor broke down on the road. If Jiaojiao can't take the exam, she won't be able to leave Guoqiang and Sener and return to Haishi."
"After this is done, your promise to let Zhizhi come to the school to teach must be counted."
Zhizhi is Qi Xinghuai's daughter. She just graduated from the commune middle school and failed to enter the county high school.
Feng Jiaojiao felt cold all over after hearing this under the window.
After she quarreled with her father-in-law, Principal Qi, last time because of Lanhua, Principal Qi and her mother-in-law compromised and began to support her in going to college.
How could Feng Jiaojiao have imagined that her parents-in-law did one thing in front of them but another behind their backs.
In order to prevent her from returning to Haishi, they actually tried to tamper with her on her way to take the exam, causing the brigade's tractor to break down on the road so that she would not be able to make it to the county seat for the exam.
In the room, Principal Qi promised Qi Xinghuai that when the matter is completed, Zhizhi will definitely be allowed to come to Qianjin Primary School as a teacher.
Feng Jiaojiao could be heard breaking into a cold sweat!
She couldn't take the brigade's tractor to the county seat for the exam, so she had to find another way.
Principal Qi in the room was still complaining that one or two of the teachers at Jinjin Elementary School had no intention of teaching properly in order to take the college entrance examination. When Qi Xinghuai's matter was completed, Qi Zhizhi was asked to replace Liu Fanyang and teach at Jinjin Elementary School.
Regardless of what the two people in the room were discussing, Feng Jiaojiao tiptoed to the pillars outside the house, then ran out.
"Teacher Feng, why are you running?"
When the bell rang, Liu Fanyang came out of the classroom holding his textbooks and almost bumped into Feng Jiaojiao.
Seeing Feng Jiaojiao's panic, Liu Fanyang asked with concern: "Teacher Feng, are you okay?"
"fine!"
Feng Jiaojiao was about to run out of school, thinking that as both educated youths, she and Liu Fanyang were the butt on the chopping board.
He paused for a moment and reminded him: "Teacher Liu, please don't take our team's tractor to go to the county seat. You have to find a way to go to the county seat one day in advance to familiarize yourself with the examination room. Do you understand?"
After saying that, regardless of Liu Fanyang's lack of reaction, Feng Jiaojiao ran out of the school and ran towards home.
On the Peace Brigade side, Li Zhiqiang rushed to the pharmacy and announced that the educated youth members who wanted to take the exam could ask for leave in advance. Zhao Qingrou and the others immediately jumped for joy.
I originally worked in a pharmacy, so I could only study at night to prepare for the exam.
As the exam approaches, they become even more anxious and want to study 24 hours a day.
Now that Li Zhiqiang has announced that he can ask for leave in advance, it means that they have time to make a surprise before the exam.
If you read a day or two more than others, you will have more hope, right?
Li Zhiqiang also told them the news that Bai Su had returned to the Peace Brigade: "Comrade Bai Su has just returned to the Peace Brigade. He is going to pick up Hehua Lanhua and the others to take the exam in the county seat. Anyone who wants to go to the county seat to familiarize themselves with the examination room in advance can take a ride to the county seat today."
"But I have to say yes. I'm kind enough to help you take me to the county seat. I don't charge for travel. I have to pay for the stay in the hostel myself."
I heard that I could take a ride to the county seat today, and the educated youths and commune members who wanted to take the college entrance examination were tempted.
As soon as I heard that I had to pay for a stay in a guest house, I immediately stopped.
I have an exam only the day after tomorrow and going to the county town today means I have to stay in the county town guest house for two days.
Staying in a guest house in the county town for one night is not cheap.
As the exam is approaching, the hostel is probably overcrowded. Let’s not say how much it will cost. Whether we can stay there in the county is another matter.
Including accommodation and food expenses, this is a considerable expense.
Thinking about it this way, many educated youth members who wanted to go to the county seat in advance stopped thinking.
