Reborn back to 1984

Chapter 10

Rural News Biser, almost no one knows that on January 1983, 1, the JS Provincial People's Government established the JS Provincial Higher Education Self-study Examination Committee. In December of the same year, the first self-study examination in JS Province was held in 5 provincial cities in the province. At that time, a total of 12 majors including party and government cadre foundation, economic management, law, Chinese language and literature, and English were tested. More than 11 candidates in the province took the test.

The reason why Zhang Xiuqing can remember so clearly is because Lin Shuyun in her previous life obtained a college degree through a self-study exam, and she was in the limelight at that time.After getting the certificate, she deliberately ran to show off in front of her, and this was also an important factor in Shen Anlin's empathy.

At that time, Zhang Xiuqing also thought about signing up for the self-examination, but unfortunately she didn't have any money.Her mother-in-law was a shrewd person. She was afraid that her son would subsidize his daughter-in-law secretly, and the family's financial authority would grab her. She only gave Shen Anlin two yuan a week, which was not enough for him alone.

Zhang Xiuqing asked him several times, asking him to save some money every week, and help her make up for the registration fee and book fee. He said to her in a tone: "Don't go to register, I asked Shuyun about it, and said that there is no teacher to teach and guide the self-examination, and it is completely self-study, so it is difficult to pass. Even if you pass, you will not change your account if you get a degree certificate. If you go to take the self-examination, who will take care of the children? Don't bother!"

"If I don't change my account, I have to take the exam. Multiple diplomas and multiple outlets. While I am young and I have not forgotten the knowledge I learned in school, I will definitely pass if I work hard... The child is still the same as before. Mom takes care of him during the day. I'll take it at night, and I'll read when she falls asleep, you just need to help save the money..."

"I don't dislike your rural household registration. I married you under pressure. What are you not satisfied with? You were not like this before marriage. How did you change after marriage? You just want to get rid of Shuyun, and you have to look at the reality. Situation, the child is so young, just when she needs you, she gets sick every day, you don't think about how to take good care of her, you just think about high goals, no wonder my mother doesn't like you..."

Zhang Xiuqing's heart was half cold at that time. The reason why her daughter fell ill every three days was entirely due to her mother-in-law's patriarchal patriarchy and not taking care of her carefully.There was a power outage in the factory, and she and Shen Anlin returned home early, and heard her daughter coughing before entering the house. She rushed in and saw her daughter lying on the bed, her face flushed from coughing, and the quilt was kicked aside. , the mother-in-law just pretended not to see it, sitting on the edge of the bed, watching the series leisurely...

As soon as Zhang Xiuqing touched the child's hot forehead, she quickly picked her up and sent her to the hospital, but Shen Anlin didn't even dare to fart, and instead warned her not to make trouble...

It wasn't until then that she realized that men were unreliable, and for the first time felt a sense of crisis about her marital status. After much consideration, she decided to put aside face and ask her mother-in-law for money.She begged in a low voice for a long time, but the mother-in-law not only refused, but also scolded her severely.She was so wronged that she burst into tears. Shen Anlin not only did not comfort her, but also scolded her for being ignorant, contradicting her mother-in-law, and being uneasy after having a child...

The former relationship was finally wiped out by conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and countless quarrels. Shen Anlin began to look for excuses to return home late, and gradually developed to not returning home at night, and then Lin Shuyun took advantage of it...

Perhaps it was due to her inherent disobedience, Zhang Xiuqing came to City C alone after her divorce, and after gaining a firm foothold, she signed up for the self-study exam.She studied herself desperately, passed the college and undergraduate examinations, and even got a bachelor's degree in management.

Although the state recognizes self-taught qualifications, whether it is now or then, many people still feel that the self-study qualifications are not as valuable as the full-time unified recruitment diplomas. There are two main reasons. , so the dream paradise of rural children is still the full-time institution of higher learning.

Zhang Xiuqing knew very well that with more and more talents, the pressure on graduates would also increase. Some large companies in their previous lives even stated in their recruitment notices that they only recruited full-time undergraduate graduates. Not hard after all.

Everyone has a college dream in their hearts, but the current situation does not allow her to pursue it.If there is gain, there must be loss, she can't be so greedy.Zhang Xiuqing didn't believe that if she lived a new life, she would be as miserable as in her previous life.

Zhang Xiuhong, who has always refused to admit defeat, found that she was indeed not as good as her elder sister. If she didn't talk about anything else, she felt ashamed of herself. How could such a person be ordinary, and how could she spend her whole life in the countryside? "Sister, I have decided to take back what I just said. From now on, you are the only one who will follow me. You tell me to go east, but I will never go west. If I get confused again and lose my temper indiscriminately, you can beat me until I wake up."

Zhang Xiuqing snorted through her nose: "Stop pouring the ecstasy soup, I'm not so easy to fool. If you get confused again, I'll tell Dad to clean you up."

Zhang Xiuhong grinned, and nudged Zhang Xiuqing with her elbow: "What do you think of Brother Dongsheng?"

Without even thinking about it, Zhang Xiuqing labeled Shi Dongsheng a "good guy": "He's a good guy!"

"That's great, I'll have someone to help with the heavy work in my house in the future, and I can ask him for help if I have anything at home... I heard that he is very good at fishing, and you will be lucky in the future... Although his mother is illiterate, she is very good at it." A woman who knows the basics, although the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law are a little cautious, but they can still face it. Brother Dongsheng likes you so much, he will definitely protect you, and you don't have to worry about the problems of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law..."

"Stop, stop...Zhang Xiuhong, you're only 15 years old, and you want to be a partner. Are you ashamed? Before you say this, can you use your brain, do you think it's possible for me and Shi Dongsheng?"

"Didn't you just say he was fine?"

"He is very good, he is honest and reliable, and he looks good. There are many girls in the village who like him, but not including me. You have this free time to meddle in my business, so you might as well study your homework more, don't wait until the school starts, find out It’s really embarrassing to be the last one in the exam!”

"Don't touch me, how could I be the last one in the exam, Zhang Xiuqing, how dare you underestimate me, if I don't get into the top ten in the grade, just write the chapter upside down, just wait and see! Hmph! "

The two sisters let go of their previous suspicions, huddled together and talked affectionately. After a while, Zhang and his wife came back, followed by the old carpenter and his son, Shi Dongsheng and his two brothers, aunt and uncle, who opened a small shop. Old Chai from the store... Zhang Xiaofeng was bouncing in the middle of the line, looking up, talking to Shi Dongsheng for some reason.

The Zhang sisters jumped down quickly, Zhang Xiuqing grabbed a sock cloth, wiped the table symbolically, and then went forward to greet everyone one by one.

Zhang Xiuhong went inside and moved a few stools out, but no one wanted to sit down. A group of people rushed over, looking around the wheels and wood, chattering non-stop.Shi Dongsheng only glanced at it, and walked to Zhang Xiuqing's side with an excuse. Under the moonlight, his face flushed red: "I heard that you went to the county seat today, did you get caught in the rain?"

Zhang Xiuhong immediately winked at Zhang Xiuqing, and Zhang Xiuqing glared at her. Afraid of causing misunderstanding, she said in a polite but distant tone, "Fortunately, I hid under the bridge for a while, and I will leave when the rain stops."

"When are you going next time? Can you take me with you? I have some things I want to buy, but I don't know where I can get them."

"I won't be going again recently. I'll talk about it after the busy farming season. In fact, I don't know much about the county town. You'd better go with someone else."

Shi Dongsheng didn't want to go shopping, he just wanted to get close to Zhang Xiuqing, he just made up an excuse, when he heard this, his face turned pale, he couldn't say anything in front of so many people, so he had to pretend he didn't understand: "I don't know anyone else well, so I'd better go with you, and I can help you carry your things by the way..."

Before Zhang Xiuqing could say her refusal, Zhang Lingen said: "Xiuqing, what are you still doing? Go boil water and make tea!"

Zhang Xiuqing said "Oh", and immediately hid in the stove to boil water, but she never showed up again.

There are many people with great strength, and with the efforts of all the people, the cart was completed in less than three hours.Zhang Xiuqing heard the noise outside the house, pushed the door open a crack, looked outside, and saw his younger brother running fast in the yard, pulling the freshly baked wheelbarrow, like an old Shanghai rickshaw driver.The old carpenter's son was sitting in the carriage, holding the wooden plank of the carriage with one hand, and waving the other hand: "Hello folks... Long live folks..."

Everyone laughed until their stomachs ached. The neighbors all ran over when they heard the noise. There were more and more people in the yard. After laughing for a while, many people gathered around Zhang Lingen to discuss about borrowing a car. Only the old carpenter was like a general. Sitting firmly in the middle of the yard—he had reached an agreement with Zhang Lingen long ago, and he was the first person to borrow the car.

That night, everyone was addicted to pushing the carts, and they didn't go home until very late.Early the next morning, before Zhang's family got up, someone knocked on the door and asked to see the cart.

When Zhang Xiuqing heard the sound of her parents getting up, she hurriedly got up and got dressed. After she cooked the porridge and ran to the well to wash, Zhang Xiuhong also got up.The two sisters looked at each other and smiled brighter than the sun.

On this day, five members of Zhang's family gathered in the field, and Zhang Xiaofeng was in charge of transporting the seedlings. He would be in a hurry with anyone who dared to compete with him for this job.Zhang Lingen and Zhang Xiuhong were in charge of pulling out the seedlings, while Shen Heying and Zhang Xiuqing were in charge of transplanting them.

After the division of labor is completed, start working.

Zhang Xiuqing imitated her mother, with her legs slightly apart, holding a large handful of seedlings in her left hand, and took out a bunch of seedlings with her right hand, and quickly inserted them into the field.Insert six bundles in each row, in order from left to right, and after each row is inserted, the body takes a step back.

It didn't take long for the mother and daughter to distance themselves.Zhang Xiuqing tried her best to catch up, but couldn't catch up. She lowered her head inadvertently, and found a leech biting on each of her legs, and she screamed in fright.
