Chapter 107 Seventy Stepmother Let You Be (37)

"At the beginning of the year, I was not included in the list recommended by the village to go to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University this year. Do you think I will stick to it?" Zhang Weihong looked out the door with confused eyes, and asked Gu Shichu in frustration.

Gu Shichu looked at this young girl who came to the countryside full of ideals, becoming more and more silent and confused, and couldn't help comforting him:
"Are you willing to give up now? Forget your knowledge and become an ordinary farmer in the village? Are you really willing?"

"Persevere, you need to spend time to consolidate and review knowledge, but there is hope in the end; but if you give up, then there is really no chance at all, so why not continue? Do you want to forget what you said to me at the beginning ?”

Gu Shichu persuaded, and the reason why she asked Zhang Weihong to continue, of course, was because she knew that the college entrance examination would resume in a few months, if she didn't know that the college entrance examination would resume, then she would not dare to persuade her like this.

After hearing Gu Shichu's words, Zhang Weihong's eyes were a little turbulent. She covered her eyes with her hands, sighed, and said with a wry smile:
"It's a good thing you reminded me, otherwise I might really forget my dream.

But I’m 23 or [-] years old this year, and I’m not too young. Female educated youths of my age are either married to people in the village or married to male educated youths from the same village. It is really difficult. "

It was only then that Gu Shichu thought of this. It is true that most of the girls at this time were married early, and gossip would spread if they were not married in their 20s, even for educated youths from the city.

Now that Zhang Weihong said these words, he obviously already had worries and concerns about it.

"Isn't it just in my early twenties? I'm still young, what are you afraid of? I'm two years older than you, and I'm not married either. I don't know how many gossips I've heard. Do you think I care? You just need to be worthy of your own heart." Don't care too much about other people's opinions, or you will be very tired." Gu Shichu said earnestly.

Zhang Weihong was such a lively, lovely and carefree little girl at the beginning, but after only a few years, she began to worry about gains and losses.

Hearing what Gu Shichu said, Zhang Weihong really felt better, and said, "You're still open-minded, I was wrong."

After a while, she lowered her voice a little shyly and said to Gu Shichu:
"In fact, there are two men who are pursuing me now. After I failed to apply for the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University this time, I thought about resigning to my fate. I gave up the idea of ​​going to university and chose one of these two men to marry.

Fortunately, you persuaded me, I'd better refuse them. "

As soon as Gu Shichu heard her words, he immediately regained his energy, and asked, "Which two men are they? Let me have a look and see if they are worthy of you?"

Zhang Weihong blushed and blamed: "What is worthy or not? I said I don't think about it!"

"Let's talk about it, I'm not asking you to choose one." Gu Shichu said without hesitation after watching the excitement.

Zhang Weihong looks beautiful and cute, and she can read and write. Her family is still in the city, her family background is good, and her family loves her. It's no wonder that no man likes her.

In fact, after Zhang Weihong came, whether it was the boys in the village or the male educated youths from the same city, they all liked her and had a lot of interest in her, but she didn't put her mind on the person she was talking to.

"One is Zhou Mancang, the youngest son of the village party secretary, and the other is Dong Zhicai, an educated youth from Qingyu City." Zhang Weihong said it shyly under Gu Shichu's repeated questioning.

Gu Shichu thought about these two candidates. Zhou Mancang's father was the village party secretary, so his family background was one of the best in the village, and he himself was tall and strong, so he seemed to have no problem.But he hasn't studied for a few years, and he won't have any common topics with Zhang Weihong, who pursues progress and knowledge, so he and Zhang Weihong are not suitable.

As for Dong Zhicai, wearing a pair of glasses, he is polite, works so-so, can barely support himself, and always likes to show his talent and knowledge in front of the villagers and other educated youths.

But even Gu Shichu could see that he was half a bottle of water dangling around, not much real material, but he was pretentious, thinking that he would definitely be able to stand out in the future.

Generally speaking, he is a person with great ambition and talent, not worthy of Zhang Weihong.

"You didn't like them, did you?" Gu Shichu asked her hastily.

Zhang Weihong shook his head: "No."

"That's good." Gu Shichu felt relieved.

"However, my parents also wrote to let me think about the important things in life. If I have a partner in the village, they will ask for leave to help me investigate; if not, they will find a way to get me back to the city. They will introduce to me again." Zhang Weihong said shyly again.

Gu Shichu sighed: "Your parents are really the best parents in the world."

"Of course." Zhang Weihong said very proudly.

"But your parents can stop worrying so much. Last time I went to the county seat, I heard two high school teachers say that the college entrance examination might be resumed at the end of this year." Gu Shichu said quietly to Zhang Weihongsui.

"Is what you said true? Did you lie to me?" Zhang Weihong asked in shock when he heard Gu Shichu's words, and couldn't help but tightly grasped Gu Shichu's arm.

She stared fixedly into Gu Shichu's eyes and held her breath. She was obviously very nervous, afraid that she might hear wrongly.

Gu Shichu didn't whet her appetite, and nodded directly: "Ninety percent of it is true, but this news is only spread among people with connections. The country has not officially announced it, and it will be announced later."

Zhang Weihong's eyes were already red at this time, and she covered her mouth to prevent herself from crying: "It's so wonderful! I thought I couldn't wait until this day... Thank you, Shichu, thank you for telling me the good news. "

Zhang Weihong was really grateful to her. If Gu Shichu was more selfish, she could not tell her the news at all, and then she would have one less competitor.

The first college entrance examination resumed after a break of almost ten years. One can imagine how difficult it is. To pass the entrance examination is obviously to compete with millions or tens of millions of candidates, including Zhang Weihong.

With one less strong opponent, Gu Shichu may have one more chance to get into the exam.

But she told herself without hesitation, so that she could review ahead of many people.When Zhang Weihong thought of this, could he not be moved by Gu Shichu?

Zhang Weihong immediately hugged Gu Shichu excitedly, and cried silently.

Gu Shichu understood her mood, patted her on the back, and said:
"You're welcome, besides, didn't you help me with a lot of lessons? I reciprocated. But the news hasn't been officially announced yet, so we can't spread it out with a big fanfare, but it's okay to spread some rumors in the village quietly - so our village Those who want to take the college entrance examination can start preparing earlier."

"Okay!" Zhang Weihong said with tears of joy.
