1978: Female educated youth, don’t want an illiterate husband

Chapter 166: Keep a low profile and don't show off your talents (Please subscribe)
Leaders from the county and city are here!

Cheng Xuemin was surrounded by the members of the Chengjiawan team and villagers and was escorted into the village and back to his home.

In the morning, Cheng Xuemin was really annoyed. He was afraid that he would be dragged to the commune to show off by the brigade secretary, so he found an excuse to go to the dam to look for inspiration and hid away for the whole morning.

Originally, after his uncle finished reading the People's Daily into the brigade loudspeaker, he was going to take the newspaper and go to the commune with Cheng Xuemin.

Go to the commune and let the commune leaders take a good look at them. They have produced a pioneer in reform and opening up in Chengjiawan, so show off.

Cheng Xuemin didn't want to be in the spotlight, so he hid away for the whole morning.

I really didn't expect that the county and city would act so quickly.

He just returned home yesterday, and today everyone from the county and city came.

I only found out about this later when I was chatting with my leaders!

The newspaper arrived in the city the day before yesterday, but during the New Year period, not many people were left on duty in government agencies, and no one paid any attention to it when the newspaper arrived in the city.

It was yesterday when a deputy was reading the People's Daily at home that he realized that the pioneers of reform and opening up who were reported on TV and radio every day were actually people from their area.

This frightened him so much that he broke out in a cold sweat, and he immediately convened a meeting of the leadership team.

Let’s decide where to go today and come over to visit.

But their arrival caused a sensation among the villagers of Chengjiawan.

It also made all the team members and villagers realize how famous Cheng Xuemin's reputation as a pioneer of reform and opening up is, and how influential he is. Even the city leaders came in person. What a concept!

Anyway, after sending away the city and county leaders, Cheng Xuemin became the most eye-catching person in Chengjiawan.

His uncle Cheng Yunjin, the brigade secretary, wanted to reopen the ancestral hall to announce the good news to his ancestors.

The entire Guanzhuang Commune is basically the same.

Cheng Xuemin's reputation as a pioneer of reform and opening up has made him very famous.

Fortunately, Cheng Xuemin was already married, otherwise the matchmaker who came to his house to propose marriage would have definitely demolished the door to his house.

"Xuemin, Secretary Zhao asked you to go to the city to attend the opening meeting to study the spirit of the conference. Why don't you go?"

After seeing off all the leaders in the afternoon, the uncle returned in a hurry from the commune, regretting and blaming his nephew.

The leader who came from above today came personally to invite his great nephew to attend the annual meeting in the city and county!
This would be a great honor for the family and would also bring glory to their Guanzhuang Commune.

But what about my great nephew?

Declined!
Secretary Zhao personally invited him, but his nephew actually refused!
The uncle was so anxious that he really wanted to agree on behalf of his nephew.

His eldest nephew had agreed to go to the city to attend the city's annual meeting. As his uncle was a commune cadre, how could he possibly take advantage of this and go with him!
When the time comes, tell everyone about it and it will be so glorious!

Refused!
The uncle was really heartbroken that his nephew refused such a good opportunity.

"Uncle, I really don't have time!" Cheng Xuemin smiled and shook his head, saying to his official-obsessed uncle, "Besides, I'm not a leader, why would I go to the city to attend that meeting?"

"Don't spread the news back to Yanjing, it will have a bad influence!"

Even if Cheng Xuemin wanted to go, he couldn't!

Secretary Zhao from the city came to invite him to attend the annual meeting, because he valued Cheng Xuemin's reputation as a pioneer in reform and opening up.

Cheng Xuemin was even more required to convey and provide guidance on the spirit of the above meeting. After all, he was the pioneer in the imperial inscription.

But Cheng Xuemin definitely knows his own weight!

This one definitely can’t go!
Otherwise, if the news gets to Mr. Wu and above him, the impact will be very bad!
and so!
His father-in-law was right. A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. He should take some time to calm down.

Moreover, before Cheng Xuemin got on the train, his father-in-law had already anticipated that the local government would attach great importance to him as a pioneer of reform and opening up.

There will definitely be various social events.

So my father-in-law specifically told us not to participate in this activity.

At the same time, he also told them to go and come back quickly and not to get involved in anything else.

Anyway, given Cheng Xuemin's current situation, he certainly cannot get too close to the local people during his four years in college. He just needs to put his name on the list of Mr. Wu and visit him from time to time, and this resource will be consolidated.

There's absolutely no need to get too entangled with the place.

As a later comer, Cheng Xuemin also felt that what his father-in-law said was right.

"Xuemin, how can this have a bad impact?! Isn't it good to just show up at a meeting and get a name in the city?"

My uncle still couldn’t understand it and still felt it was such a pity.

This is such a great opportunity to show off, but his nephew just refused to go, even though the city government came down personally to invite him.

Do you think it's a good idea to let them go back like this, nephew?

"Uncle, I'm just a writer, I didn't really win the top prize in the imperial examination!"

"My boss also asked me to write more about my hometown, so I agreed! When I wait for the summer vacation, I will definitely publish the manuscript I wrote about my hometown and promote our hometown!"

"This is much more practical than attending one or two meetings!"

Cheng Xuemin comforted his uncle again. Of course he knew that his uncle was so active in urging him to go to the meeting in the city because he must be thinking of taking advantage of the situation and going along.

But Cheng Xuemin also had to let his uncle know, why would a white-collared man like him, who didn't even have an official position, attend that meeting?
No name or status!

When the news was reported back to Beijing, it caused a lot of trouble. People said that Cheng Xuemin, the pioneer, was so powerful in the local area! Cheng Xuemin's father-in-law had already analyzed the interests involved.

Can't do it.

"You do need to write articles!" My uncle took a sip of his old wine and nodded.

"Sister, brother-in-law, have you guys thought it through? After my uncle is done with this, I plan to return to Yanjing on the eighth day of the new year!"

Just now, Cheng Xuemin has given the letter of introduction and the household registration transfer materials to his uncle, and asked him to go to the commune and the county tomorrow to help him transfer his household registration!

If everything can be done tomorrow, Cheng Xuemin plans to take his parents back to Yanjing on the eighth day after tomorrow!
They had originally agreed to go and come back quickly, but Feng Jiayou had a pregnant woman at home, and Cheng Xuemin was a little worried.

So we come out on the third day of the Lunar New Year, set off on the eighth day, and it may be the twelfth year when we arrive in Yanjing!

Since it was on his way back to Yanjing, Cheng Xuemin planned to stay in the provincial capital for a while, make himself familiar with the Yanhe Literature, and hand over the script of Loess Plateau to the Xi'an Film Studio.

By then, I will have to meet with the screenwriters and directors of the Xi'an Film Studio.

It is not clear how many days we will stay there, but a conservative estimate is that we may arrive in Yanjing on December 12.

This was also the reason why Cheng Xuemin did not stop by when he passed by the provincial capital on his way back. Instead, he chose to go home first and then stop by on his way back.

In this case, it will take exactly ten days to come back.

and so!
Cheng Xuemin has already mentioned to his sister and brother-in-law that he would let them take the baby to Yanjing to prepare for this year's college entrance examination!
But my sister and brother-in-law were in a dilemma and couldn't make up their minds, so they were considering it.

But Cheng Xuemin didn't give them much time to think about it. After his uncle's side was settled, he had to leave immediately.

Of course he took his parents there first. After his sister and brother-in-law have thought it over, it’s not impossible for them to go there later.

But Cheng Xuemin was worried that if he was not around, his sister and brother-in-law would have concerns and would not go!
If you miss this village, you will never see that store again.

Because Cheng Xuemin knows!
The first three sessions after the resumption of the college entrance examination were the easiest to take, for him, his sister and brother-in-law.

Because the first three classes basically tested junior high school knowledge and a small amount of high school knowledge.

With Cheng Xuemin's cramming, his sister and brother-in-law only needed to get the scores in the junior high school knowledge test. Not to mention the provincial capital's key universities, they would definitely get into a good junior college.

But after the first three classes, high school students gradually recovered and became the absolute main force in the college entrance examination. The difficulty of the college entrance examination test points directly increased by several points.

For example, his older sister is a junior high school student, and his brother-in-law only went to high school for one year. If they want to take the college entrance examination again and get into a university, even if it is a junior college, the chances are almost slim and impossible.

Unless his sister and brother-in-law gave up everything, started high school again from the first year of high school, and took the exam again three years later.

But is it realistic?

Now, even if they were asked to go to Yanjing and cram for half a year, they would be hesitant, and it would be even more impossible for them to study in high school for another three years.

So for his sister and brother-in-law, this opportunity may only come once this year!

Following Cheng Xuemin to Yenching, both he and his wife were guaranteed to get a college degree, and there was no way they could escape.

Even if it is a normal secondary school, Cheng Xuemin has the ability to keep him and his wife in the city to teach after graduation. Isn't this better than being a private teacher in a village primary school?
Cheng Xuemin suddenly asked about this at the dinner table, and Cheng's father and mother both looked at their daughter and son-in-law.

Father Cheng made the decision directly and said, "Go! Xuemin has bought a house in Yanjing. There are more than a dozen rooms. How can there not be a place for you two to live?"

"Didn't Xuemin say that as long as you two go, he and Jiayou are confident that you two will be admitted to college. Why don't you go?"

"You guys got into a junior college, and after you graduate you'll be on the government payroll, isn't that better than what you have now?"

"Do you still want to be like me and your mother, digging for food in the fields with your back to the sky?"

The so-called imperial grain refers to the commercial grain provided by the state.

This is something that all the young people in rural areas of this era would never dare to dream of!

Because in this era, if rural people want to eat the country's commercial grain, there is no other way except to go to college.

It's now!

Even though the eldest son Cheng Xuemin is a pioneer and has a great reputation, and has even been promoted to the city and county, he still has a rural household registration and cannot eat the commercial grain from the state.

Even though his eldest son has moved his household registration to Yanjing, his agricultural-to-non-rural status is still registered under his father-in-law's household registration, making him feel like a live-in son-in-law.

Fortunately, his older son said that this is only temporary!
He is also going to take the college entrance examination and go to university this year!
As long as you are admitted to university, you can move your household registration to the university, set up an independent household and no longer be a live-in son-in-law.

just now!

There is such a good opportunity in front of his daughter and son-in-law, why are they still hesitating?
This is not someone else!

Cheng Youben only has this pair of children, so of course he hopes that they can all eat the state-owned commercial grain. In the future, he will have as much face as possible in the commune.

"Huh?! No!"

"Xuemin, you bought a house in Yanjing!?"

My uncle, who was drinking old wine here, suddenly heard this and became more and more confused!

what's the situation! ?

Xuemin wants to take his sister and brother-in-law to Yenching University to take the college entrance examination?
and also!

Xuemin bought a house in Yanjing, the kind with more than a dozen rooms?
real or fake? !
