Chapter 366: Chapter 365: The Ownership of the Scapegoat

Wong Xiao’s work efficiency was high. The next day, two notices were already posted on the bulletin boards of Ten Miles Team and Nine-miles Team.

The notices raised two requirements on behalf of the commune: First, one must not let odd jobs delay work; second, every household with school-aged children engaged in odd jobs must send their children to school.

Li Dahe gathered the villagers at the grain drying yard and read the notice out loud three times, then went through it carefully word by word.

The villagers’ hearts were calm, not a single complaint was expressed.

"The first point is only right, we all depend on farming for our livelihoods!"

"What’s there to say about the second one, didn’t we still have to send the little bastards to school even when there was no odd work?"

"Exactly, wait one more day and Hongzi will be knocking on the door..."

Wang Hong: "Good that you know!"

She cleared her throat, stepped forward to take over the conversation from Li Dahe and said, "Everyone, put your hearts into it, work harder, save more money, and go all out to support your children’s education! Stop saying that studying is useless all the time. Look at yourselves, why is it that when Miss Lin and the others go to the provincial city, they can bring the match factory to our team? Why can’t you even find the door to the match factory when you go to the provincial city?"

"The opportunity to earn money is laid right to your doorsteps. From now on, take good care of your children’s education, let them go to junior high and high school. If anyone’s household can produce a university student, it will bring honor to the whole village!"

University student, ah...

This pie was too big, the villagers didn’t dare to eat it.

All they could do was to laugh it off: "Support, support, sure, whatever you say, Hongzi."

Wang Hong understood everyone, and from their perfunctory reactions she immediately grasped what was on their minds.

She smiled and said, "I went to a meeting a few days ago, and Director Feng from the commune said that in the future, Lan County’s submissions to Worker-Peasant-Soldier University will not be based on recommendations but rather unified examinations. Whoever ranks at the top will go to the university!"

There were quite a few units submitting through examinations for Worker-Peasant-Soldier University, especially from the battalion, they would always let people elect first, then use uniform examinations to determine rankings.

This was not an innovation, but it was easier to implement compared to having each production team recommend candidates.

Hearing what Wang Hong said, the villagers were instantly abuzz, and immediately grabbed their own children scampering all over the place, oblivious to anything, and first slapped their buttocks a couple of times, before impressing upon them with added gravity that they needed to study hard and go to college in the future.

The children held in their parents’ grasp were confused and clueless, unable to understand why they suddenly were slapped... As for what their fathers and mothers said afterwards, the pain overrode their hearing, and they didn’t catch it.

The villagers departed with excited hearts. Although they were also skeptical about whether their own sons and daughters were really college material, well... people always need something to dream about.

After the villagers dispersed, Wang Hong entered the team headquarters and teased Lin Nianhe’s nose: "I didn’t expect it, old Wong actually willing to cooperate with you, what exactly did you promise him?"

Lin Nianhe turned her pencil, her eyes full of seriousness, "I’m on my own, what could I possibly promise to a leader? Aunt Wang, you have misunderstood."

Wang Hong pouted, peeked at what she was drawing, and asked curiously, "What’s this stuff?"

"Head Flower."

Wang Hong exclaimed "Eh" as she picked up Lin Nianhe’s notebook, squinting and scrutinizing it for a while before nodding, "It’s actually quite nice."

Lin Nianhe smiled with a deep meaning: "Yeah, I also think it’s pretty good-looking."

Saying this, she stood up, took her notebook, and said, "Aunt Wang, go ahead with your work, I’m off to find Sister Lan."

"What are you two girls up to again?"

"Something good!"

"Don’t run too fast, is there a wolf chasing you?"

Wang Hong scolded playfully, watching Lin Nianhe run off before turning back to Li Dahe, "Big brother, what do you reckon old Wong is after?"

Li Dahe pursed his lips, "If he dares to take on this ungrateful task, it must be that Miss Lin has promised him some good business."

Wang Hong full of suspicion: "What good business could there be with the little stuff we have here?"

"If I knew that, Wong Xiaokou would have been pampering me like an ancestor already!"
