Chapter 1417 University Admissions 3
The black words on red paper were posted on the bulletin board outside the office. There were more than 40 quotas in total, regardless of age or gender, but there were no names of the Lu family children, nor Zhou Zhou among the educated youth.
"Hey, Dad, why are Tianzhi and Guanyu not included? And Zhou Zhou is not included?"
Wang Zhengguo glanced at his eldest son who ran in. "Ajiang sent a telegram to his family, not allowing his children to participate in the competition for the quota of workers, peasants and soldiers to go to college. The children were very obedient and voluntarily withdrew. Zhou Zhou was a smart child. Seeing that Tianzhi and his brother stepped forward, she also withdrew. She said that she lived a stable life in our brigade, which was a peaceful life she had never experienced before. She was unwilling to compete with everyone for this school quota. No matter what the final result was, there would definitely be conflicts before it was decided."
There were too many people and too little porridge. Voting could not stop the competition before that. Especially for the educated youth, they might guard against each other and frame each other in private, causing the other party to lose the competition quota.
But if this method was not used, no matter who went to college in the end, the one who could not go would definitely not accept it.
Thinking of this, Wang Zhengguo immediately said: "Bang the gong and call everyone to the meeting directly. How can we leave them time to canvass for votes? Let's vote by raising our hands. Whoever gets the most support will go to school."
Wang Dachun thought it was right, so he went out to beat the gong to gather the people, and took his wife and children aside to talk in private.
The scene was as spectacular as the slaughter of pigs during the Spring Festival. Fortunately, the busy farming season was over, otherwise no one would have the time to spare.
Wang Zhengguo stood on the high platform and read out the names of the people who were crowded together, "If anyone wants to withdraw, it's not too late to withdraw now. If everyone wants to go, let's start voting by raising our hands now."
As soon as he finished speaking, a simple and honest young man whose name was on the list raised his hand. It was Wang Chengkun, the eldest grandson of Wang Zhengguo, who was also Wang Dachun's eldest son, two years older than Lu Tianzhi.
He climbed up to the platform in two or three steps, patted his chest, cleared his throat, and said with a smile: "I won't go. I work at home to earn work points to support my father, mother, grandpa and grandma. Grandpa, the team leader, please remove my name. I am so popular and so smart. If I am selected, everyone will say that my grandfather abuses his power for personal gain!"
This speech made everyone laugh.
Wang Zhengguo laughed along, and Wang Dachun kicked him in anger, "What are you talking about here? Everyone else wants to go to college, why don't you want to? You have to remember that only college students can marry good wives!"
Wang Chengkun jumped to avoid the kick, "Dad, you are not a college student, but you also married my mother, right?"
Wu Cuihua in the audience was overjoyed, "This stinky boy!"
"Are you happy to be praised?" Wang Daxia's wife Wang Haiping nudged her sister-in-law's arm, "Your son Kun is so sweet, he won't have trouble finding a good wife. All the good-tempered young men in our brigade are popular?"
Wanglou Brigade has high labor value, and it is still a place where girls from all over the country want to marry, so there are no bachelors in Wanglou Brigade.
Wang Daqiu's wife Feng Xiaohui asked, "Sister-in-law, do you really agree that Kunzi doesn't go to college?"
"Tianzhi didn't go, so it doesn't matter if Kunzi goes." Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue are both smart people among smart people. They don't let Lu Tianzhi and Guan Yu go to college. They must have their intentions. It's right to follow their footsteps. This is what Wang Dachun, Wu Cuihua, and Wang Chengkun discussed before the meeting. But they just showed up at this time to give Wang Zhengguo some face.
