Chapter 240 Why Can't She Go to College?
Who would have thought that she wanted to go to the captain to test the waters and get in through the back door, but in the end, the captain didn't even look at the things she brought over!
But she did not give up. She has been thinking about finding a solution today!
It's nothing more than money and people! She can find a way to get the money, but she understands that only when the gifts are in place can things be accomplished!
As for people! Her body didn't have much to lose, so it wouldn't be a big deal if she sacrificed herself at a critical moment!
If her sacrifice could really earn her a place at the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, then she'd made a good profit!
As a result, Zhao Dagang brought her the news.
"Dagang, did the captain really say that to you? Are you sure you've been chosen? Aren't there two spots? Did the captain tell you who the other person is?"
Li Mengqin's face changed instantly. The impatience just now disappeared, replaced by a pair of shining eyes.
"The captain didn't say that. He said the other candidate would be a female educated youth. But I asked the captain and he said it was you!"
As soon as Zhao Dagang finished speaking, Li Mengqin grabbed Zhao Dagang's arm and asked excitedly.
"What did you say? Is that person me?!"
When Zhao Dagang saw Li Mengqin's expectant eyes, he felt a little sad, but he still responded honestly.
"no!"
Although Li Mengqin knew that it probably wasn't her, she still felt very upset when she heard Zhao Dagang say it.
"Who is that? Didn't you ask who that person is?"
Zhao Dagang shook his head. He only asked if it was Li Mengqin, he didn't ask who it was!
Li Mengqin let out a breath. The educated youth who came here with her either got married or got the opportunity to return to the city. Now she is also one of the educated youths with the longest seniority in this point!
It’s time for me to take my turn!
Who is it?
Which educated youth was given the other spot?
Li Mengqin analyzed in her heart that the only ones who came with her were Liu Ying and Qiu Meili!
Or it could be Gu Xiaoqi, who has a high prestige in the village. Gu Xiaoqi is popular and has done many heroic things. Now he has taught the whole village the technology of growing potted apples.
If Li Mingzhong were to leave this opportunity to Gu Xiaoqi, no one in the village would object!
So, now only these three people are his biggest threats.
"Mengqin, don't be sad. I've thought it through. Even if I go to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, I won't abandon you! When the household registration is settled at the school, we can go and get the certificate. I heard that according to the current policy, as long as you graduate and have stayed in the countryside for enough years, you can come back to the city with me!"
Zhao Dagang's voice was excited, and his heart was filled with longing for the future.
But Li Mengqin was not happy when she heard this, she even felt depressed, angry and jealous!
Why can't she go to college!
She didn't want to be tied to Zhao Dagang. Even if Zhao Dagang went to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, he was just a child from an ordinary family. What could he become in the future?
I was just lucky enough to get a spot!
He actually had the nerve to tell her to wait until after graduation!
Then why not let her go to college by herself? She doesn't have to marry Zhao Dagang. She can also use her status as a college student to find a man with a good family background and who is better in all aspects!
When Li Mengqin thought about it, she immediately had an idea.
On the one hand, she had to find out which female educated youth had won the place to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, and on the other hand, she had to keep Zhao Dagang stable.
What if this doesn't work out? Didn't Zhao Dagang say he loved her until death? Wasn't his love genuine?
Then let Zhao Dagang give up his place and let her go to college!
However, unless it was absolutely necessary, Li Mengqin would not think about Zhao Dagang's quota. After all, Zhao Dagang said that the village's decision was to have one male and one female educated youth.
Maybe, even if Zhao Dagang can't go, another male educated youth might be chosen in the end.
"Dagang, let's wait and see! Let's talk about it after we get the marriage certificate. I haven't told my family about us yet! Compared to being apart for so long, I think it would be better if we could go to college together! Don't you think so?"
Li Mengqin changed her previous impatient tone and became much gentler and calmer.
"Mengqin, I do want to! But the captain said that the spot is not yours! How can we go to college together?"
Li Mengqin took the initiative to hold Zhao Dagang's hand.
"So, why don't you go ask the team leader, or a few key members in the village? You can ask indirectly. I'm really curious. What if I find a loophole that makes that person unsuitable to go to college? You know how precious a place in the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University is now! I'm afraid that person gave a gift or something, which would be unfair to me and everyone else!"
Li Mengqin finally persuaded Zhao Dagang after much persuasion.
"Okay then! I'll go ask again!"
After saying this, Zhao Dagang hurriedly left the educated youth camp.
Li Mengqin looked at Zhao Dagang's back and began to feel anxious again.
When she returned to the room, Qiu Meili, who was in the same room with her, was squeezing a pustule in front of the mirror. When she saw Li Mengqin come in, she rolled her eyes at her and continued to look in the mirror.
Li Mengqin observed Qiu Meili, trying to find some clues, but when she saw that she was no different from usual, she temporarily withdrew her gaze.
Then Li Mengqin took the initiative to go to Liu Ying's room. There were only three people living in that room now. After Lin Zhenzhen left, there was a vacant seat.
When Li Mengqin entered Liu Ying's room, her eyes immediately lingered on Liu Ying.
Liu Ying was happily packing up her scattered things at this time!
This morning, the captain found her and said that she had taken a place at the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University!
For an educated youth who had been here for many years, she cried with joy and kept thanking the villagers and the team leader for their decision.
Her heart was full of hope and longing for the future. Thinking that she could finally leave the countryside and return to the city, and go to college, Liu Ying's mood suddenly brightened.
Of course, she is not the kind of person who advertises everywhere. She thinks it is better to keep a low profile. However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Liu Ying is in a very happy mood at this moment.
Moreover, at this moment, he was wiping his box, and some things that he didn't use on a daily basis were neatly packed into the box.
The odds and ends were also gathered into a box.
When Li Mengqin saw this scene, her heart skipped a beat!
"Sister Liu Ying, what are you doing?"
Liu Ying was happy and didn't have too many thoughts. She turned around and saw Li Mengqin behind her and said at the door, "Let me clean up. All my things are covered in dust!"
Li Mengqin: "Why did you think of cleaning up today? Oh~ There is quite a lot of dust, is there something happy going on?"
