"This little kid missed the start of first grade. I thought it would be okay for him to play like this every day, so I thought I would borrow a set of first grade textbooks and teach him at home first," she said truthfully.
Wu Mei was a little surprised when she heard this. She remembered saying that Zhao Qinglan's cultural level was not high? How could he teach children textbooks?
Even if he is only in the first grade, Wu Mei thinks he is very powerful.
The illiteracy rate is quite high here, and many people only know their own names and a few simple words.
Although literacy classes were often held in various places after the founding of the People's Republic of China, this aspect has stagnated in the past few years. Wu Mei, for example, does not know many words.
If Wu Mei hadn't been illiterate, she wouldn't have been at home every day without a job.
In fact, the army will take care of some military wives to solve their work problems, but the prerequisite is that you must have skills, otherwise you will not be able to do anything.
For example, in elementary schools in the army, many of the teachers there are educated military wives or children of military personnel from their families.
Even if she was surprised, Wu Mei would not question without blinking, and would just say that she would go with her.
Every morning, her husband goes to work and the children go to school. Wu Mei is quite lonely at home alone.
In the past, there was a neighbor named Zhu Kexin who also did not work. However, Zhu Kexin was too arrogant and they had nothing in common to talk about.
Now that Zhao Qinglan is here, Wu Mei thinks she can get along with Zhao Qinglan.
"Okay, sister-in-law, we just happen to go together, so I don't have to ask where the elementary school is."
While walking on the road, Wu Mei started to chatter.
"Although it's true to learn more, tell me, if you study hard before, if you can get into college, at least you can get a good job after graduation."
"But now, what's the use of studying so much? The educated young people go to the mountains and countryside, but after thinking about it, they have to go to the countryside to farm and suffer hardships. Look at my eldest son, he will finish high school in half a year, and I am still worried.
Where will he go after that?"
Mentioning her eldest son Wu Mei makes her full of worries.
Yes, those who can go to college now are only recommended college students from workers, peasants and soldiers. Not to mention the limited number of places each year, even the people who go to college are mixed, and you may not be able to learn much after going to school.
But if you don't go to college, there are only two options, either find a job immediately, or go to the countryside as an educated youth if you don't have a job.
Zhao Qinglan could understand Wu Mei's worries, but she also started to reminisce about it.
She remembered that the college entrance examination seemed to be resumed soon. Wait, let her think about it. Xiaoduo seemed to have been lost in the few days after the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination was announced in her previous life.
Many people rushed to tell each other about the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination and were happy, but she was heartbroken because of the loss of her daughter.
If you do the math, it will be less than a year before the college entrance examination is resumed.
Although she, a reborn person, knew that the college entrance examination would be resumed soon, Wu Mei and others did not know.
And she couldn't directly tell Wu Mei how soon the college entrance examination would resume, but seeing Wu Mei anxious and worried, she couldn't turn a blind eye.
After careful consideration, she said: "Sister-in-law, how many years did you say the college entrance examination has been suspended?"
"It doesn't matter, it's been ten years." Wu Mei blurted out.
"Yes, sister-in-law, think about it, our country is in dire need of development, and all walks of life are in need of talents. There have been no decent college graduates in the past ten years. You said there is a huge shortage of people."
"What do you mean by this?" Wu Mei became confused.
"There is no talent here. The country must not rush to cultivate talents. Only by resuming the college entrance examination can we cultivate the talents needed for the country in the most comprehensive and maximum extent. I, an ordinary citizen, can understand this. How can those big leaders above not think of it?"
"You mean?" Wu Mei's eyes lit up.
"Yes, that's what you think. Do you think the resumption of the college entrance examination will be far away?" Zhao Qinglan finally said what she wanted to say most.
Wu Mei became excited at the thought of the possibility of resuming the college entrance examination.
"Qinglan, how long do you think it will take to recover?"
"Although the time cannot be determined, it will probably be within a year or two." She did not dare to say it to death.
Even if we have to wait a year or two, there is still hope.
Seeing Wu Mei's eyes getting brighter, Zhao Qinglan continued: "Sister-in-law, no matter what, you have to let your boss read and study hard. We have to be prepared at all times. If he suddenly recovers, isn't he prepared?
There is a greater chance of passing the exam."
"What you said makes sense, Qinglan, you are really amazing." Wu Mei was really impressed.
The two of them walked to the army primary school while talking.
Understanding the purpose of Zhao Qinglan's visit, the school teacher readily found her a set of old textbooks and said that she could come to the school to ask if she encountered any problems.
This enthusiasm and sincerity made Zhao Qinglan couldn't help but sigh. The current teacher is really passionate about doing good for the students.
This is not to say that future teachers will be bad, but because of the gradual changes in the social environment, there are too many temptations, more complicated things to worry about, and more pressure. Teachers who only focus on teaching and thinking about students are rare.
.
On the way back after picking up the book, by coincidence, Zhao Qinglan met Qian Hongxia again.
Qian Hongxia snorted coldly and walked past them.
Zhao Qinglan didn't bother to pay attention to this irrational neurosis, but Wu Mei was still angry.
"Qinglan, ignore her, what kind of person is she?"
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, as long as she doesn't cause trouble for me, I won't bother to argue with her."
Qian Hongxia still thought that when her husband came back, the regiment would punish Zhao Qinglan and even Li Huai.
Unfortunately her hopes were dashed.
In the afternoon, the main cadres at the company level and above in the regiment held a meeting together. At the meeting, political commissar Zhou Hai mentioned this matter and treated it lightly.
I only said that from now on, all cadres should take good care of their families, and that family members should improve their ideological quality and awareness, and not talk nonsense and spread rumors, which will affect internal unity.
In this incident, both military wives Qian Hongxia and Zhao Qinglan were verbally criticized, one for "talking" and the other for "hands-on".
Li Huai had long known the attitude of the two leaders and had no reaction after hearing this. However, Yang Qingmin's hand under the table had already been clenched into a fist.
Oh, I bet the leaders are still leaning towards Li Huai. To put it nicely, they each play fifty big shots, but can they be the same?
After the meeting, Yang Qingmin was still cheerful on the surface and supported all decisions made by the leader, but on the inside he was already resentful of the leader's "unfairness".
