Quick Transmigration: When Can I Just Lay Down and Wait to Die?
Chapter 296 The Little Deaf-Mute of the Era 12
After more than a month of systematic review and targeted study, the results of the first college entrance examination in 77 came out, and Liujia Village became famous throughout the province.
In addition to the six members of Liu Laogen's family across two generations who were admitted to university, seven other people in the village were admitted to universities and junior colleges, and five former educated youth were also admitted.
There are eighteen college students in total. Some communes don't have that many people who passed the exam. And this is just this year's cohort. The preparation time was rather rushed. But in the next college entrance exam, many of those who were a little short this time have a great chance of passing if they work hard.
In the past, many villagers would send their children home after finishing junior high school. Now, not only are junior high school students being urged to study hard by their families, but families of those who graduated two or three years ago are also looking for ways to let their children go back and continue to high school.
Now everyone knows that college students not only don't have to spend money on school, but they also receive a monthly living allowance. Children from villages, whose families don't have workers and whose social class is poor, can basically receive the highest level of allowance, which is nearly 20 yuan a month.
It's important to know that the current poverty subsidy standard for urban residents in Beijing is less than five yuan per month, which is about twenty yuan a month. If students are frugal, they can save 10 yuan a month.
You can be assigned a job as soon as you graduate from university, and it will be a management position. The salary during the internship period is more than 30 yuan, and after you become a full-time employee, you will earn at least 45 yuan.
This is a secure job! For the working class at the bottom of society, if they want to change their family's social class, going to school is definitely a shortcut with low investment and high returns.
The people of Liujia Village have always valued their children's education, and now they value it even more.
When the villagers filled out their college applications, they gathered together to discuss them before submitting them. The educated youth generally tried to apply to schools in their hometowns, and they also introduced some schools in their own cities to the villagers.
After discussion, those with slightly lower scores filled in their applications for industrial universities, finance and economics universities, and teachers' colleges in their own province, based on their interests. A few boys who wanted to go out and see the world filled in their applications for schools in the hometowns of educated youth sent to the countryside.
For example, Liu Xiaozhu and his wife applied to a finance and economics university in their own province. It wasn't that they were afraid to apply to a good school because their scores were low, but rather that they didn't want to be too far from home, since their child was still young, and the finance and economics university was in the next city.
Of course, everyone checked the "accept adjustment" option in their application. Ordinary people don't have many thoughts. Whether they like it or not, as long as they can go to school, it doesn't matter what they study. Anyway, they will be assigned a job after graduation. If they don't accept the adjustment, they won't be able to go to school, and they will suffer a huge loss!
Liu Yushan and his three siblings all had exceptionally high grades. After discussing it with their family, they all applied to Peking University, mainly to accommodate Liu Yumei and Liu Yuxi, since Peking University has a slightly larger number of humanities majors.
The four siblings all went to the same school. If they could stay in the same city after graduation, they could take better care of each other.
Especially with Er Ya Tou's situation, it's one thing to go to school, since she's in the same class as Liu Yu Mei. If the teacher arranges for the two of them to share a dormitory, she can at least rely on her sister to get through graduation. But when it comes to job assignments, it's a problem whether any company will accept her!
Fortunately, in recent years, Liu Yuxi has gradually shown that she can understand some lip reading. Otherwise, even if the four siblings were in the same school, they would not feel at ease letting her go to university. After all, the history of beggars and prostitutes can be traced back to the beginning of human civilization.
Let's not worry about that now. We need to prepare luggage for the children at home first. This is when the power of the clan becomes apparent. Why? Because resources are scarce. It's still the era of ration coupons. You need coupons to buy anything. Even though the Liu family has saved a lot of money in recent years, many resources still need to be obtained through connections.
Putting everything else aside, just the six sets of bedding for the six uncles and nephews alone would be difficult for them to prepare in a short time on their own, unless the rest of the family members were all forced to give up.
At this time, most families' quilts were just used as makeshift blankets; once they got old and no longer kept warm, the old cotton would be fluffed up again and some new cotton would be added. Unless someone in the family was getting married or their daughter was getting married, a family would prepare a new quilt well in advance.
Two years ago, when Liu Yuxi's family was preparing to find marriage partners for his three older siblings, they had already started making preparations. However, cotton was hard to come by. Liu Yuxi was young in this life and spent most of his time with his family. He also had some physical disabilities, so there was no reason for him to bring out these scarce resources.
So, by the time they received their acceptance letters, their families had only made three new quilts. They had no choice but to go to the clan chief. The other students who were accepted also had some things they hadn't prepared.
Then, the clan chief took the lead and coordinated the resources of the villagers. Families that had prepared quilts and other supplies for their children in advance were given to these children who were going to school.
Once the children go to school, the village will pay for and find a way to return the items to each family, and then the families of the students will gradually repay the village.
There's a saying that goes, "Many hands make light work." One family contributes a quilt, another a washbasin, one a thermos, and another an enamel mug. When the whole village gets involved, plus the rewards from the county and commune, everything is taken care of!
Normally, in rural areas at this time, almost no one would send their children to university. One reason is that most of those who get into university are already married, and even if they are not married, they are around 20 years old. So even if their families are worried about them going far away, they are not too concerned.
But Liu Yuxi was too young. Even though her three older siblings were with her, her parents were still worried. Anyway, the family wasn't short of money. Going out would just cost more money and food coupons. Other things were hard to come by, but food coupons were easy to exchange.
Finally, Liu Erzhu sent his four siblings to Beijing, and Liu Yuxi did not stop him. In those days, transportation was inconvenient, and many people never left their county town in their entire lives. This opportunity was a good chance for her father to go out and see the world.
In two more years, when she can start a business, she hopes to take her whole family with her.
We first dropped my uncle and his wife off at school. The train station was in the city, so we dropped them off as well. After finding out their address, we went to the train station and bought tickets.
They arrived too late and there were no trains running that day, so they stayed overnight at the station's guesthouse. Then came three days and three nights on the train. At this time, most of the people taking the train were students going to school to register, while the majority of the others were business travelers from various organizations.
There were no kidnappers or thieves. Apart from the slightly unpleasant smell, they arrived in Beijing smoothly. After asking the station staff, they took a bus to Peking University.
