them perished.This leaves many vacant positions, which need to be filled. Now is not the time for officials' assessments, and local officials who want to transfer to the imperial city also need time....Chen Jia Shu broke out in a cold sweat, at a loss. He stayed in his room, waiting until Lian Yi left the educated youth point before he dared to show himself. He needed time to think things through, to figure out how to deal with this situation.

After the male educated youths returned to their room and saw Chen Jia Shu's gloomy and terrifying expression, none of them spoke. Then they each took out letters and began writing home. After the news of the college entrance exam spread, textbooks would definitely become scarce materials. They had to do their best to gather a complete set of review materials.

After returning, Lian Yi and Zhao Jingcheng reworked their review plan and plunged into intense study.

Lian Yi went to town specially and called her family, telling them the good news. Mother Wu was the most delighted.

Although Ms. Wu had previously sent textbooks and exercise books, she hadn't received confirmation about the resumption of the college entrance exam. Her heart was still heavy with worry. Now that she had received reliable news, she was naturally overjoyed. She encouraged her daughter to study hard and strive to return to Suzhou for the exams.

After news of the resumption of the college entrance exam spread, young people from several nearby communes went crazy with joy. They started looking for textbooks to review and even weren't very enthusiastic about going back to work in the spring. After all, if they got into university, the state provided subsidies, not only free tuition but also income, which was much better than farming here.

While the Red Flag Commune's educated youths, besides Chen Jia Shu, continued to work and review their studies in the evenings, Zhao Fengshou, the head of the team, felt a little proud. Compared with educated youths from other communes, theirs were much more sensible.

This is mainly ripples reminding Guo Jian that they had made a payment.

Should we go to work or not We used to earn seven work points a day, but now all you guys guarantee is five. After all, you're still going to need to eat and drink while you're studying for university, aren't you What are you going to live on if you don't work

Moreover, the university application form also requires a signature and stamp from the neighborhood committee. If you even give up on labor and go all-in on the exam, what if the team leader drags his feet and refuses to sign and stamp it, causing trouble for you Wouldn't that be a loss

On the worst possible scenario, this is the first exam for retaking the college entrance exam. Who can guarantee that they will definitely pass If we don't pass this time, there will be another chance next time. Before the next exam arrives, shouldn't we still stay in Hongqi Commune It wouldn't be good to strain our relationships with everyone here!

"You are right, Ms. Wu! Girls are indeed more attentive and considerate!"

Sun Sheng scratched his head. His plan was to learn from the young educated youths in Dàqìng Commune, have his family support him financially, and not go down to the fields before the college entrance exam. Now that Lianyi said this, he realized that what he was doing was inappropriate.

“Indeed, while other educated youths are doing the same, our persistence in working on the land could earn us high praise from Captain Gao. However, regarding what Wu classmate said about conserving our energy, we should discuss this further and consider privately giving Captain Gao some gifts to show our attitude and strive for his understanding and support. This would be best.”

Jian Guo Qian was opened up by the ripple's words, and immediately shared his thoughts.

Okay, I'll do it for you! "Alright, listen to Big Brother Money!"

Let me know if there's anything else you need translated.

Zhang Qiang immediately raised his hand in agreement. They had already gathered a complete set of review textbooks for their educated youth point, and they took turns reading them. If they didn't understand something, they could go to Wu Lianyi's house to discuss it together. Their review progress hadn't fallen behind at all, and everyone was very confident.

As it turned out, after a brainstorming session, the Red Flag Commune's young intellectuals handled the matter very well. Zhao Fengshou also received a batch of rare goods: brown sugar, malted milk, seaweed, luncheon meat, and fabric, to name just a few. The gift was certainly substantial.

After Cao Shen looked at the things in the package, she was quite astonished.

These young people are really generous!

"Wouldn't you be willing to give it a try If you pass the exam, you won't have to worry about finding work in the future. You can also go back to the city directly and not have to farm anymore. Your descendants will benefit as well."

Zhao Fengshou took out an iron box, inside was processed tobacco shreds. He happily rolled one and lit it, taking a satisfied puff, his face full of contentment.

"Are we going to get sued if we take these things"

Auntie Cao was still a little worried and asked.

"Don't worry, these things were sent by Jing Cheng's family and Qian Zhiqing. They came quietly and didn't make any excessive requests. They just asked to be allowed to conserve some energy during work hours so they could study in the evenings. When it's time for them to take the exams, I'll let them go freely."

"It's really nothing difficult, you should just agree to it. It's considered a good deed, and who knows, maybe one day we'll need someone else to do us a favor."

Aunt Cao always respected intellectuals, so she also agreed with her husband's decision.

All the roads were paved, and people studied harder. After Chen Jia Shu regained his freedom, he took a job in the warehouse voluntarily. He was responsible for distributing tools to everyone and repairing damaged ones, leaving him with a lot of free time.

Some boys in the village also became acquainted with Chen Jia Shu, and soon after, children in the village started saying they wanted to take the college entrance exam too, to make a future for themselves. Their parents were persuaded by Chen Jia Shu's lofty promises, so they went to Zhao Fengshou, hoping that the educated youth could help teach their children while they were reviewing.

Because it involved their own children, the villagers were more enthusiastic and even spontaneously helped the educated youth reduce their workload. However, Qian Jian Guo and the others were not happy about this. They didn't even have enough time to review themselves, where did they have the energy to teach these children Wasn't this clearly wasting their time

Qian Jianguo also sensed Chen Jia Shu's dirty thoughts and grew to dislike him more and more. Even though they lived together, everyone clearly isolated Chen Jia Shu, but the latter was fearless and still went his own way.

The educated youths all gathered at Lian Yi's house to discuss this matter. Although Captain Zhao hasn't found them yet, it's only a matter of time. They need to come up with a plan.

"Why don't we take turns teaching them That way, everyone gets a chance to review, and we can solve this problem without causing any trouble with the villagers."

Wang Xiufen suggested, after all, the college entrance examination is imminent, it's better to do less than more.

"Damn it, it's all because of that bastard Chan Ka-shui! Since he can't take the entrance exam himself, he wants to drag us down too! We were so nice to him, and we ended up helping a snake!"

Zhang Qiang angrily scolded.

Although Sun Sheng didn't express his opinion, his facial expression and Zhang Qiang's thoughts seemed to align.

He's using a ruse, we can't confront him head-on. If we anger those parents, they might sabotage us later. That wouldn't be in his best interest.

Ripple smiled and said.

"Wu Tongxue, what are your thoughts Let's hear them."

"Of course, it's about taking the initiative! All parents in the world hope their children will succeed. However, learning isn't something that happens overnight. Among those who participate in this review, there are some who genuinely want to take the exam and others who are simply following the trend. First, we need to eliminate those who are just following the trend and leave behind the ones who truly want to learn and use learning to change their destiny."

What do I do

"We organize a diagnostic exam. We set the questions and let the children take it. If they pass, we'll study with them together. If they fail, it’s their own lack of ability, not our fault." ripples brought the ugly words to the forefront.“I understand, I will do as Commander He says.”Wu Tianxing had no objection or doubt about this, after all, the first thing a returning deep-space vess...
