Back to 1979: Sending the Educated Youth’s Wife Back to the City

Chapter 2: Encouraging Divorce
Lin Yan said: "But what if something goes wrong?"

"Then you can still come back to us, right? It's not easy to go to BJ from a small place, and isn't it easy for people from BJ to come to a small place? Half a year at the fastest, or there's no such thing as a slow time. Give me half a year, and I'll be by your side no matter what."

If I can't go to BJ for half a year, I will feel sorry for him. He was reborn after the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee.

In half a year, he would use the information from the prophet to get enough money to bring his daughter to live in BJ.

Also, he must also reap the benefits of the college entrance examination.

He can go to BJ to continue preparing for the exam.

He is a secondary normal school student. Even if he fails this time, he can still apply for the exam next year or the year after.

79 was the last time that we could register without caring about previous academic qualifications.

The country has given three chances, which are enough to absorb the large number of candidates who were delayed due to the cancellation of the college entrance examination in the previous ten years.

Since 80, only applicants with a high school degree or equivalent are required to take the exam.

If Ayan fails the exam this time, she will have to finish high school before she can apply again.

This was also the reason why she gave up the college entrance examination in her previous life.

Lin Yan was finally moved by what he said. She actually wanted to go back to BJ as well.

"Mingche, we can lower the standards. As long as it's a school in BJ, junior colleges are fine! Even technical secondary schools are fine! The key is to get an identity, so that you can transfer your household registration. The household registration is linked to food and oil, and children's schooling."

Seeing that she was convinced, Fang Mingche nodded and agreed, "Okay, I'll do as you say."

Just at this moment, Fang Shuyan, wearing a large cotton-padded jacket with a bright red velvet coat on the outside, walked in from outside.

She just went to Teacher Liu's house next door and played house with Liu's sister.

The couple has only one daughter, so they naturally treasure her very much.

What Yanyan eats, wears and uses are much better than other girls of the same age in the countryside.

"Mother--"

When Lin Yan saw her daughter, she felt deeply reluctant to let her go.

Fang Mingche went over and picked up his daughter, looking at her and said, "Ayan, we'll only be apart for half a year! This will give me more motivation to strive for success! Do you think I can bear to leave you? Am I the kind of person who would sacrifice myself for others? Just go back and get a guaranteed BJ household registration first. This way, your father-in-law and mother-in-law will feel more at ease. As the younger generation, we should also think more about the elderly."

Lin Yan thought of her aging parents and her unreliable younger brother, and finally nodded, "Yes!"

"Then Ah Yan, you should pack your luggage."

This time the commune was also going to send these educated youth away collectively, just like when they were brought here.

Each brigade used tractors to transport people to the commune for gathering, and the commune then used large trucks to transport them to the city to take the train.

I will go to complete the divorce procedures tomorrow, and then I will have to go to the Youth League Office to register.

You can only leave after getting the official seal of the brigade and the commune.

At that time, the relevant person in charge will take the list of people who have moved out to count the number of people, and then everyone will go to buy train tickets with letters of introduction.

So, even if Ayan wanted to take Yanyan back to BJ to take care of her, it would be impossible.

The policy requires that the couple must be unmarried, so there cannot be children in the car.

Divorce and leave are both considered taking advantage of loopholes.

Otherwise, how much can a little kid like Yanyan eat? When she got to BJ, her mother would save a bite of food for her.

Yanyan asked, "Where are you going, mom?"

"Mom is going back to BJ to visit grandma and grandpa."

"Aren't we going together?"

"When it's warmer and Yanyan is wearing her flowery dress, Daddy will take you with us."

Both of them were a little excited that night.

Yu Linyan was about to face a separation for at least half a year; the other party was clear, and they felt even closer after a long time.

In the end, the excitement in their bodies could not be calmed for a long time, and the two of them did not stop fighting for a long time. It was Yanyan, who was lying on the inner quilt, whispered "Mom" that woke them up.

The child didn't wake up, just cried, but he didn't sleep very soundly.

Lin Yan whispered, "Go to sleep."

"Ah."

After breakfast, Fang Mingche opened the desk drawer and took out two marriage certificates in the form of award certificates, as well as the household registration booklet for the family of three.

The three of them also eat commercial grain and are considered residents. They have already escaped from the farming life and are the envy of many farmers.

Lin Yan looked at the two marriage certificates with a complicated expression. If possible, she definitely didn't want to exchange the marriage certificate for a divorce certificate.

Even if they remarry in the future, it will be a stain. But my father said in the letter that my mother was ill.
Moreover, if Mingche tries his best, it will be easier for him to get into university than himself.

Fang Mingche went to ask Principal Wu for leave.

Principal Wu asked, "What are you going to do?"

"divorce."

Principal Wu frowned and said, "When the policy of returning educated youth to the city came out, I had a bad feeling. But why are you so easy to talk to?"

After all, Xiaofang’s wife took the college entrance examination twice before. The first time, she didn’t have enough time to prepare (she was notified in October and took the exam in December); the second time, she did OK, but she didn’t get in because the admission score of the school she applied for was higher. This shows that she was determined to go back to the city.

But when the other person asks for a divorce, do you agree to it?

Nowadays, there are too many cases where farmers use all kinds of means to keep educated youth.

There were many people who had stomach upsets before taking the college entrance examination, or who could not find their admission tickets.

Fang Mingche said, "Principal, I am going to prepare seriously for the college entrance examination."

Principal Wu frowned, "How can it be that easy?"

"I will definitely go to BJ in the second half of the year."

Principal Wu looked at Fang Mingche. Was he fooled? Teacher Lin didn't look like that.

"Have you figured it out?"

Fang Mingche nodded, "It couldn't be clearer."

It's okay for him to work hard.

At most, she would fail the exam and go into business, but Ah Yan's BJ household registration had to be kept.

Although she didn't complain in her previous life, she might have regrets in her heart.

By 1995, BJ will have a policy of settling down by buying a house.

He should work hard in the next ten years. Then he can buy a house while it is cheap, and his daughter can take advantage of it in the college entrance examination.

The passing score is several tens of points lower, and the quality of education in BJ is much better.

Then she could go to a better college and perhaps avoid middle-aged unemployment.

When the couple went to the commune to go through the divorce procedures, Yanyan was entrusted to the care of the principal's wife.

Fang Mingche pushed the handlebars of the bicycle and Lin Yan followed beside him.

"Ayan, I'm sure you'll ask about the child's support and the division of property later."

He had to prepare for both scenarios. If he couldn't get into college, he would have to earn more money to take his daughter to BJ.

The father and daughter take care of their food, clothing, housing and transportation. The daughter will be going to kindergarten in the second half of the year.
Even if you get into college, you still need to have some extra money. I heard that the monthly allowance for college students is only over 20 yuan.

If you want to earn your first pot of gold, you must have capital.

The couple had a total of more than 400 yuan in savings, and he wanted to keep 300 yuan as capital.

Lin Yan said, "The four hundred is all in fixed deposits. It's not worthwhile to withdraw it and calculate the interest based on the current account. Don't withdraw it. I can still get another month's salary before leaving."
