While Zhou Yang was having a meeting with several village cadres outside, Cui Jinjin, Liu Lu and dozens of educated youth were guarding outside the office.
This matter is related to the future and destiny of all of them. Once they get support from the village, their chances of going to college will be much greater.
After all, preparing for exams off-the-job and studying while working are completely different in efficiency.
What's more, Zhou Yang also promised to hold a college entrance examination crash class in the village and ask teachers to give them systematic review. If they can do these things, the probability of getting into college will be higher.
Just as everyone was discussing the results of the meeting in low voices, someone suddenly heard someone say: "Look, it's out!"
Everyone looked inside the office, and sure enough they saw several village cadres, including Zhou Yang, standing up and walking out the door.
Seeing this, a group of educated youths gathered around him.
Zhou Yang and others came outside the door. When they saw the appearance of these educated youths, they knew what they were waiting for.
At the moment, Zhou Yang stood under the eaves, facing Cui Qianjin, Liu Lu and others, while Wang Ping, Li Jianguo, Zhang Genwang and others stood on both sides of him.
After coughing slightly, Zhou Yang then said loudly: "Educated youth comrades, I have just discussed it with the village cadres, and everyone has unanimously agreed to let you take off work to prepare for the exam..."
Before he finished speaking, all the educated youths let out loud cheers. They hugged each other as if they had been admitted to college.
Seeing these educated youths burst into tears with excitement, Wang Ping and others were also deeply moved.
They all watched these young people come to the village and knew what they had gone through.
To be honest, people say that rural areas are hard, but the real hardships in rural areas are those who leave their hometowns to join the queue.
It can be said that they are unaccompanied, isolated and helpless in this place, and that's all. How many people were hurt in the process, and how many people simply lost their lives here...
Zhou Yang didn't think that much. After the excitement of these educated youths calmed down a little, he said again: "Comrades, everyone knows the situation in the village now. If we can let everyone go off work to prepare for the exam, Party Secretary Wang and several The deputy village chief and production team leader have been under a lot of pressure. I hope everyone can remember this kindness from the village!"
"At the same time, I also hope that everyone can seize this rare opportunity, study hard, and strive to be on the gold list in the college entrance examination in the near future!"
"Pa bang bang..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the audience burst into warm applause that lasted for a long time.
After the applause subsided, Cui Jinjin said loudly: "On behalf of all the educated youth, I would like to thank the village for its help and support. At the same time, I would also like to express my position here. We must study hard and never let down the expectations of Village Chief Zhou and all village cadres. Try your best to get into college!”
"Okay, this is the attitude you need!"
Then Zhou Yang said again: "The matter is settled like this. I will arrange the tasks now. After finishing it, everyone can review it well!"
Hearing this, the educated youth present straightened their backs, and everyone's eyes were once again fixed on Zhou Yang.
"Go forward, wait a moment and you will broadcast the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination to the people in the village, and then make a detailed count of the number of people in the village who want to take the college entrance examination, including not only the educated youth, but also the aspiring young people in the village. I'll pull up a list!" Zhou Yang said.
"Okay, I'll do it later!" Cui Qian said.
"Liu Lu, please take some people to the village primary school to find Wang Ping'an and ask him to free up three classrooms for you and clean them for later use!"
"good!"
"Also, let's see if there are any extra offices. If there are any, clear one out!" Zhou Yang said again.
"Okay, I'll go right away!"
"Okay, let's all disperse. If anything happens, you can always come to my house to find me!" Zhou Yang said.
"yes..."
...........
After the matter here was dealt with, Zhou Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Afterwards, he immediately left the brigade headquarters with Chen Beixuan.
But he did not return to the institute. Instead, he went to the institute's family courtyard.
He came here to visit a person, a person who was crucial for these educated youth to enter college - Wang Liping.
Yes, she is the tutor and temporary head teacher chosen by Zhou Yang for those educated youths.
In fact, the first time he saw his wife, Zhou Yang thought of asking her to tutor these educated youths in their revision.
On the one hand, my wife has been a teacher all her life. Her knowledge and experience are top-notch, and she is more than enough to guide these educated youths.
The most important thing is that the old lady came to him several times and wanted Zhou Yang to arrange work for her.
Zhou Yang promised well every time, but he never took action.
In fact, Zhou Yang has been waiting for news about the resumption of the college entrance examination!
Now that the dust has finally settled, it's naturally time for the old lady to take up her duties.
Zhou Yang knew the courtyard where Guo Yamin and Wang Liping lived. He had been here when Mr. Guo moved before. It was in the middle of the second row of the family courtyard, next to Fan Debiao.
That's right, now Fan Debiao has also moved out of the old house of Zhou Yang's family and lives directly in the welfare housing of the institute.
The same goes for Mr. Guo. Since Wang Liping came over, he no longer lives in the research institute.
After get off work every day, he goes home to live like Zhou Yang.
When Zhou Yang came over, Wang Liping was making lunch.
Although she is almost seventy years old, the old lady is not only in good health, she does not feel dizzy or dizzy, she cooks three meals a day and lives a very fulfilling life.
She was cooking in the kitchen when she heard movement in the yard and walked out of the house.
Wang Liping was also surprised when she saw Zhou Yang coming with the guards.
"Director Xiao Zhou, why are you here at noon? Is there something wrong?"
Zhou Yang smiled and said, "I've been thinking about your work these days. I have an errand right now and I don't know if you're interested in it!"
Hearing this, Wang Liping was delighted and asked hurriedly: "What's the errand?"
"I just heard the announcement on the radio today that the college entrance examination is going to be resumed. I want to set up a college entrance examination cram school in the village. I want you to teach those educated youths all the time. What do you think?"
"Has the country resumed the college entrance examination?" Wang Liping asked with a surprised look on her face.
"Well, I just informed you!"
"It's long overdue!"
Wang Liping had been working in colleges and universities before retiring. She served as vice president for 8 years. She knows the situation of colleges and universities best now.
Compared with those college students who were admitted ten years ago, the students who have been admitted through recommendation in recent years are nothing like that.
It’s just a difference in level, but it’s difficult to manage.
Everyone feels that they are the protagonist and successor, and they always help the teacher to do something.
Now that the college entrance examination has finally resumed, there should be fewer people who want to rely on recommendations and go through the back door to go to college. This is good news for domestic education and even all aspects.
"Let me tell you about this college entrance examination cram school. This class is mainly for educated youth, and there are also some aspiring young people from the village..."
At the moment, Zhou Yang briefly explained these basic situations to his wife.
Wang Liping was also surprised when she learned that Zhou Yang planned to let these educated youths take off work to prepare for the exam.
At that moment, she expressed her position directly: "I understand what you mean. This is a good thing. I have accepted this task, but I can't do it alone!"
"Don't worry about this, I will find someone to help you set up this cram school!" Zhou Yang said.
"Okay, if you finish it, you can ask me to give lectures!"
"Okay, I'd like to thank you on behalf of those educated youths!" Zhou Yang said.
"You're welcome..."
...........
PS: I finally got home on the plane on the afternoon of the 26th. I’ll update it when I get home!
