Chapter 469 What happened before will never happen again
When Zhou Gui learned that Shen Qingran wanted to go abroad, he was worried that there would be another big movement in the future and others would use this to attack their family.
He wrote a letter back to Shen Qingran, hoping that she would give up the idea of going abroad and expressed his concerns.
Shen Qingran felt that her mother was "worrying too much", but she didn't want to argue with her mother, so she wrote a letter to Zhou Rong, hoping that Zhou Rong would persuade Zhou Gui.
The most advanced thinkers in their family, besides my aunt, are my aunt, and my mother listens to my aunt the most. As long as my aunt is willing to help, her wish to go abroad will surely come true...
After receiving the letter, Zhou Rong went to visit Zhou Gui and told him that Shen Qingran had written to him.
"If you can apply for a place to study abroad, it's a rare opportunity, so let Qingran go."
Zhou Gui whispered, "Sister, every time I think about what happened a few years ago, I am still terrified. Aren't you afraid that others will use this to harm us?"
Zhou Rong: "Times have changed, and what happened before will never happen again."
Zhou Gui: “Really?”
Zhou Rong: "The new leaders are more courageous than we thought. The restoration of the college entrance examination and the announcement of the overseas student program are the result of careful consideration by the leaders. If someone really wants to stir up trouble, we will bring out the policy for debate.
I just don’t believe that if we two join forces, we can’t win an argument with others!”
Zhou Gui smiled and said, "Since elder sister said so, then I support Qingran to go abroad."
Zhou Rong: "This public mission abroad will last for one year, and the organization will bear all expenses, but our foreign exchange reserves are insufficient, and the funds given to Qingran and others are estimated to be very small.
Check with Qingran to see which country she is going to, and exchange some currency from that country so that she can have money when she needs it. If she doesn't have enough money, come to me."
Zhou Gui: "Okay."
With the help of Shen Boxuan, Shen Qingran got a place to study abroad at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States.
Currently, 1.72 yuan can be exchanged for one US dollar, but a lot of documents need to be presented before the bank will make the exchange, and the exchange amount is also strictly controlled.
Zhou Gui only got 200 US dollars in exchange for the overseas travel certificate sent back by Shen Qingran.
Shen Bohang was worried that the money was not enough and his daughter would have a hard life abroad, so he wanted to go to the black market to exchange some more, but was stopped by Zhou Gui.
"I went to the black market to inquire, and they told us that they only exchanged 10 yuan for 1 U.S. dollar, which is not cost-effective. Besides, Qingran carrying too much money on her is not necessarily a good thing. If she is targeted by criminals, she is abroad, and I can't help her even if I want to.
So let her go out and suffer a little, otherwise she will never grow up."
Shen Bohang: "Okay."
Shen Qingran was going abroad in November. During this period, in addition to being busy with her studies, she worked hard with other students who needed to go abroad to learn English and local customs and handle various procedures for going abroad. It was busy and fulfilling...
In early April 78, the Central Committee decided to remove the label of Y-faction members from all of them, but whether they could return to the city or resume their posts still needed to be assessed.
After the news was announced, people with connections began to rush around, planning their future...
Meng Anpu, Qi Yunkai and others were all Y faction before. After their hats were removed, they would have no problem returning to the city as long as they made some connections.
As for reinstatement, they have all reached retirement age, and even if they ask for help, they may not get what they want. Instead, they would owe someone a favor, so there is no need to go through all the trouble.
Many children in Zhoujiawan signed up for the college entrance examination in July. Several people were worried about them. After some discussion, they decided to wait until the children finished the college entrance examination before arranging to return to the city...
78年7月20-21日，全国近450万人参加高等院校招生考试。
Including educated youth, more than 30 people from Zhoujiawan took the college entrance examination. Many of them failed last year and plan to take it again this year.
Zhou Jialei is also one of the members of this college entrance examination.
In order to help all the children in the village get good grades, Zhou Chuanjing and Zhou Chuanyi discussed and decided to put some tables, chairs and benches in the cultural room and invited Meng Anpu, Dong Huiru and others to tutor everyone in their studies.
When the prospective candidates from other production teams of Shengli Brigade learned that there was a college entrance examination tutoring class in Zhoujiawan, they asked their respective team leaders to intercede for them, hoping that they could join it.
After the beginning of the year, Zhou Rong sent some college entrance examination review materials to Zhou Chuanjing, hoping that he could encourage all eligible children in the village to sign up for the college entrance examination. He also said that the future of Zhoujiawan is in the hands of future generations. Only if they have a good future can Zhoujiawan prosper.
Zhou Chuanjing thought this made sense and told Zhou Chuanyi the contents of Zhou Rong's letter.
Zhou Chuanyi agreed with Zhou Rong's point of view. They were all old and needed capable successors to take over. University was the best place to train successors.
A single tree cannot make a forest. Zhoujiawan cannot develop alone, otherwise trouble will arise after everyone becomes jealous. Only when all the production teams in Shengli Brigade become strong together, Zhoujiawan will have helpers no matter what problems it encounters.
So when the production team leaders wanted the candidates in their team to join the review class in Zhoujiawan, Zhou Chuanyi agreed without a second thought...
With the careful guidance of Meng Anpu, Dong Huiru and others, and the help of Zhou Rong's review materials, after the results came out in August, 8 people from Zhoujiawan were admitted to universities and colleges.
On the educated youth side, 8 people signed up, 5 passed the exam, and 3 failed.
A total of more than 20 people from other production teams of Shengli Brigade passed the exam.
Those who passed the exam jumped for joy, while those who failed were dejected and even hid in a corner crying...
There were suddenly more than a dozen college students in the village. Zhou Chuanjing and Zhou Chuanyi were very happy. After some discussion, they rewarded those who passed the exams with some meat, eggs, fruits, vegetables, etc. They also gave each of them a red envelope of 20 yuan using money from the public account.
Several heroes such as Meng Anpu, Dong Huiru, and Qi Yunkai received generous rewards. Not only were they given 10 work points every day, but they also had an ample supply of food such as meat and eggs.
I also gave each of them a banner and a red envelope of 50 yuan.
Meng Anpu and his friends accepted the food and banners but did not ask for red envelopes, saying that they were tutoring the children to review in order to give back to their fellow villagers, and the meaning of the matter would change if they took money.
Seeing this, Zhou Chuanjing took back the red envelope and planned to repay them in another way...
Zhou Rong was also a hero. Zhou Chuanjing asked the truck that delivered vegetables into the city to bring her a lot of food.
At the same time, he wrote a letter to Zhou Rong, telling him about the contributions of Meng Anpu and others to the village and the fact that he had been delayed in returning to the city because of tutoring the children for the college entrance examination.
If it is convenient, Zhou Chuanjing hopes that Zhou Rong can help them. This favor will be repaid by Zhou Jiawan in the future.
After receiving the letter, Zhou Rong asked Xu Yuefang for help, and Meng Anpu and others soon received orders to return to the city.
Some of them are too old to return to work, but they can enjoy normal retirement benefits and reunite with their families, which is enough for them...
Dong Huiru and Zhang Xiuying did not return to the city. They were used to living in Zhoujiawan, where they had built orchards and farms, and they were reluctant to leave.
Anyway, the children have all started families and work in other places, so they can't be reunited even if they return to Jiangcheng. They can just retire in Zhoujiawan...
