Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, the spring of 1976 comes quietly.
This year, many major events have happened. Let’s not mention the above for now. There have been many changes around Li Jie alone.
Hao Dongmei's parents were rehabilitated.
Although the organization has not yet restored her parents' positions, it would be better than anything else to take off their hats.
After her parents were rehabilitated, Hao Dongmei's label naturally changed, and no one would look down upon her birth in the future.
In fact, after so many years, Hao Dongmei no longer cares much about the hat on her head. Good or bad, she still has to live the life she deserves.
Apart from not having to worry about her parents anymore, what makes her happiest is her son's education.
In the blink of an eye, her and Zhou Bingyi's child was five years old and old enough to go to school.
Hao Dongmei has always been worried about one thing. She is afraid that her background will affect her children. After all, children do not understand those things in the adult world.
Whatever they see or hear, they take it seriously.
When the child was young, she was often bullied by other children, and all of this was because of her poor background.
Now she is fine, her parents have been rehabilitated, and she has also gotten rid of her black-five category status.
From now on, her son will never have to face those strange looks again.
As for whether her parents will resume their original positions, Hao Dongmei is not concerned about it.
Although the children of high-ranking cadres have unlimited glory, they also have unlimited risks.
After experiencing so many things, if she could choose, Hao Dongmei would prefer to choose an ordinary background.
That would be good for Bingyi and the children.
Over the years, Hao Dongmei has always harbored guilt in her heart. Because of her, Zhou Bingyi's position has almost never been changed.
He worked hard and received many rewards, but he never got a promotion.
Hao Dongmei knew the reason why he couldn't be promoted, and so did Zhou Bingyi, but neither of them mentioned it.
Because this matter is a scar, a scar that no one wants to mention.
Hao Dongmei and Zhou Bingyi were overjoyed when they received the letters of redress from their parents. They wrote immediately to tell their families thousands of miles away about the happy event.
Soon, the Zhou family received the good news.
But this letter came at a somewhat unlucky time.
"Bingkun, what do you think?"
At this moment, the atmosphere in the Zhou family was very serious, with Li Suhua, Zhou Rong, Cai Xiaoguang, and Zheng Juan all gathered together.
They got together not because they knew Zhou Bingyi's letter in advance, but because of another thing.
Li Jie once again rejected the opportunity to go to college.
Today's college students have not yet reached the point where they will be overpopulated by college students in future generations. Today's college students are full of gold.
Several times around the photo, there were thousands of households without a single college student.
not a single one!
Once upon a time, Zhou Bingyi and Zhou Rong did very well in school. Father Zhou and mother Zhou always looked forward to their eldest son and daughter being admitted to college.
What happened next was unexpected by everyone.
Not only were schools closed, but universities also stopped enrolling students. It was not until a few years ago that universities resumed enrollment.
But going to college now is different from before. You can't get into college by taking an exam. You must be recommended by the masses, approved by leaders, and reviewed by the school. All the conditions are indispensable.
Among the Zhou family's network, Cai Xiaoguang is probably the only one who meets these conditions.
Cai Xiaoguang also wanted to go to college, but his father did not allow him.
Two years ago, Cai Xiaoguang's father's career took a step further because the policy on reemployment of educated youths was good enough.
In addition to being the head of the Department of Commerce, Cai Guanghua now also holds the position of a senior official in charge of commerce.
To be precise, Cai Guanghua's full-time position is a senior official, and his part-time job is to be the head of the Department of Commerce.
His promotion is inseparable from Li Jie, so in recent years, the relationship between the Cai family and the Zhou family has become closer.
Cai Guanghua did not allow his son to go to college because he knew his son's background.
In terms of relationships, Cai Xiaoguang is qualified, but in terms of ability, he is a little less than qualified.
Contrary to Cai Xiaoguang, the youngest son of the Zhou family is definitely qualified to go to college. Cai Guanghua not only does not object to this, but also strongly recommends it.
Such outstanding talents should go to universities to further their studies. After returning from their studies, they can better serve the people.
In 1973, Li Jie was first recommended to enter university for further study, but at that time, he refused because the new product had just been launched.
His superiors took his feedback into full consideration and acknowledged his opinions.
The next year, the same opportunity came again. This time, Li Jie refused again. At that time, the Xiaoqingshan Village Factory happened to be in an important period of transformation.
It has transformed from a furniture factory with a single product line into a large factory with multiple product lines and full of creativity.
Considering that the factory was Li Jie's brainchild, his superiors once again approved his application.
This year, Li Jie was recommended to go to college again.
But again he refused.
The reason for rejection was still work.
It's not that he's worried about being ignored. He founded the Qingshan Furniture Factory from scratch, and all the key positions are his.
Even if two or three years pass, no one can shake his position.
He doesn't want to go to school simply because he doesn't want to go.
For others, university is a palace of knowledge and an important platform, but for him, it is not that important.
In terms of knowledge, he is better than the teachers in the university, and much better.
When it comes to platforms, he himself is the platform!
On the other side, Zhou Rong's chest was about to explode when she saw her brother was silent.
Going to college has always been her highest ideal. Now she is not only married, but also has a child.
Based on her current situation, she probably has no chance of entering university.
Her younger brother repeatedly refused to go to college, which was something she couldn't understand at all.
The first two times, she believed that her younger brother might have been delayed by work, but this year, she once again rejected the opportunity to go to college.
At this point, even a fool can understand.
My little brother doesn’t want to go to college at all!
Why?
At this moment, Zhou Rong wanted to pry open her little brother's head and see what he was thinking.
"Busy at work."
Li Jie said this, but his eyes "subconsciously" glanced at Zheng Juan's belly.
A new life is being nurtured there.
Going to college and raising children seem to be two-choice questions, but in Li Jie's case, no matter how you choose, there is only one answer.
Of course raising children is more important.
The essence of going to college is to improve yourself, but for Li Jie, there is no way to improve yourself by going to college.
At this time, Zhou Rong noticed Li Jie's small movements, and then her aura suddenly dropped.
Some things can only be understood by experiencing them.
Only after becoming a mother did Zhou Rong realize how important children are to parents.
(PS: Zhou Rong’s experience in this timeline is completely different from that in the original work. It is understandable that she is more emotional. The change is not sudden.
Human character is shaped by experience)
