Chapter 346 She Has Never Been a Kind Person
Is Zhao Qiumei still willing to give up the good job and conditions in the city and return to this backward village again?
The answer is obvious, no, so the Wang family will never agree to let Zhao Qiumei go to college.
But besides Zhao Qiumei, there are so many educated youth in the commune, and there are always some married educated youth who will coax their partners with sweet words to let them go to college.
There are many such things in the previous life.
Qiao Yue and his wife are not even qualified to compete with the help of indigenous forces.
Yun Qinghuan did not say these words deliberately to hit Qiao Yue, but to let her face the reality as soon as possible, so as not to do stupid things for this recommendation to go to college, or be cheated by others.
In the previous life, she had seen documentaries of this era. Many people really did everything they could to return to the city or go to college.
Hearing this, Qiao Yue instantly deflated like a balloon, and said weakly, "From what you said, there's no hope for me and Jing Yang."
She couldn't compete with these people at all. She and Jing Yang had no relatives or friends here, and it was hard for them to have enough food.
Qiao Yue was very depressed. It only took a moment for her to go from the excitement of expectation to the dejection. She even felt aggrieved and wanted to cry. She hugged Yun Qinghuan, her eyes moist, "It doesn't matter if I don't go to college. After all, we have only been in the countryside for five or six years, but what about my man? He has been in the countryside for eight or nine years. He loves to study so much that he dreams of going to college. But now he has this opportunity but can't catch it. What should he do?"
"Besides, even if the college entrance examination is resumed in the future, who knows when it will be resumed? He is so old, can he still go to college? Will the university still want him?"
Yun Qinghuan felt uncomfortable for no reason when she said this. Because she had a golden finger, she knew in advance when the college entrance examination would be resumed, so she could calmly deal with the allocation of quotas for recommendation to go to college.
Because she knew that the college entrance examination would be resumed in more than half a year, and those who were recommended to go to college would always be inferior to those who really passed the exam with their own ability.
Even in the allocation of work, those units would prefer graduates who actually took the college entrance examination to enter the university.
In the next few decades of China's development, students who took the college entrance examination in recent years have become the backbone of all walks of life. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are all talents.
For a long time, those who were recommended to go to college were in an extremely embarrassing position. The society did not recognize their identity as college students. After all, many people who were recommended to go to college did not even know a few words.
It was a world of difference from the college students who passed the college entrance examination.
Even if there were some very outstanding talents among them, the overall level was still relatively poor.
But she knew this, but Shen Jingyang and Qiao Yue, who were born and raised in the countryside and struggled for many years, did not know that they were uncertain and fearful about the future, so they wanted to desperately seize every opportunity to return to the city.
Yun Qinghuan asked herself, if she did not know the future, I am afraid that if she knew that she could go to school and escape from this rural area that made her suffer, she would definitely leave by any means.
She has never been a very kind person.
Now, she can sit here and watch Qiao Yue feel sad, just because she knew something in advance.
Thinking of this, she stepped forward and hugged her in her arms, comforting her, "It's okay, if you feel sad, just cry, you will feel much better after crying."
Qiao Yue didn't feel sad for too long. After all, the two twins seemed to feel their mother's sadness, and they were about to cry with their mouths pursed. Yun Qinghuan was shocked and hurried to pat Qiao Yue and asked her to pay attention to the children.
If the children really cried, it would take a while to coax them.
Since Qiao Yue became a mother, she almost understood the emotions of her two children at a glance. So, seeing Yuanyuanman looking at this side with big eyes, blinking her eyes and wanting to cry, she quickly wiped away her tears, and then smiled at the two children and said, "Mom is not crying, baby, don't be sad."
She also stepped forward and patted the two children gently.
The familiar voice and action made the originally uneasy children calm down immediately.
Qiao Yue's mood also stabilized. She smiled bitterly and looked at Yun Qinghuan, "I'm sorry to make you laugh."
Yun Qinghuan glared at her and handed her a tissue, "Are you still friends with me? Why are you so distant when you talk? If you don't cry in front of me when you are sad, can you cry in front of others?"
Qiao Yue took the tissue and wiped her tears and snot. She was very moved by what she said, "Qinghuan, it's great to have you as a friend."
"Of course not." Yun Qinghuan was a little complacent.
Then, he comforted her, "Do you remember what I said before? Those university teachers have been taken back to school. You should know what this means. Since it is not so easy to compete for the quota for recommendation to go to university, you and Shen Zhiqing should seize the next opportunity. Don't forget to read books. It's always right to read more books."
She didn't say it too firmly.
But Qiao Yue also understood what she meant and nodded seriously, "Don't worry, I know that during this period, Jingyang and I would read books every time after dinner and taking care of the two children. We would also get up early in the morning to read books. We dare not fall behind in our studies."
It's just that they didn't dare to read during the day. If outsiders saw them reading high school books, they would have to explain more.
Explaining too much would easily arouse suspicion. She is now in the countryside with her man, so it's better to keep a low profile and not attract attention.
Yun Qinghuan was very relieved after hearing this. He walked up to her and patted her shoulder. "If you believe what I said, then learn from your man. Don't worry, the dawn will always come. Only when that day comes, those who are prepared can seize the opportunity. Don't fall behind!"
Yun Qinghuan remembered that when the college entrance examination was resumed, many educated youths who went to the countryside had not touched books for many years. They studied very hard in those two months. They studied hard and their momentum should not be underestimated.
However, the most advantageous group of children in this exam should be those who have just graduated from high school and those who are about to graduate from high school.
Yun Qinghuan remembered that the college entrance examination in December 1977 was like a thousand troops crossing a single-plank bridge, and the pass rate was very low.
She was not too worried about Shen Jingyang. That man was a person who loved to study. From the original owner's memory, she knew that when Shen Jingyang was in the educated youth point, as long as he didn't work, he would take a book and read it there, and he would read it for an entire afternoon without moving.
On the other hand, Qiao Yue is not a person who likes studying. She would avoid studying if she can.
Yun Qinghuan is really worried about her friend. If Shen Jingyang is admitted to the university but Qiao Yue is not, the gap between the two will only get bigger and bigger.
Even if the two people are in a good relationship now and stick together every day, who can be sure that they will not change their hearts when they are separated in the future?
