Chapter 1503: Rumors

Yang Yujie leaned over and said, "This time I came to tell you that my grandfather said someone has proposed for the two of us to study and read books seriously."

"Can we really?" Jiang Feifei asked excitedly.

"Who knows if it will pass? Even if it does, who knows how many years it will take?"

"Sis, no matter how many years, we have to seize the opportunity in the future. We have already self-studied the high school courses.

Let’s go, let’s find my mom and figure out a way to have the two professors give us systematic instruction."

Jiang Xinyu was reading a book and smiled when she saw the two girls come in. "Why are you here?"

Yang Yujie repeated what she had said, and Feifei immediately chimed in, "Mom, can you ask the two professors to teach us?"

Jiang Xinyu smiled and nodded, "I’ll go and discuss it with the four of them. If not, we’ll use the evening time."

These two professors are not responsible for teaching students now. Li Yungui has assigned them to work at the chicken farm.

Yang Yujie felt completely reassured now. If Aunt Wei steps in, it will surely work.

In the afternoon, Jiang Xinyu went to find Li Yungui.

"Xiao Jiang, you really are suffering." He used to be clean and fair, but now he looks dispirited, perhaps because he’s feeling down.

"Village Chief Li, I’m doing well. I’m here today to talk to you because I have something to discuss."

Qu Xiaoli brought tea over, heard there was something to discuss, and immediately went out.

"Xiao Jiang, just speak if you have something to say. Your business is our business. Don’t worry, even if I can’t help, I’ll find a way for you."

Jiang Xinyu laughed, "Village Chief Li, it’s not a big deal. I’ve heard through the grapevine there might be college entrance exams. We might be able to go to university."

"Really? That’s great news. Xiao Jiang, what do you want me to do?"

"Village Chief Li, I want to invite two professors and the couple Jin Jianwen to give the children systematic lessons."

"No problem. They’re not doing much at the chicken farm, and my new house is unoccupied. Let the kids study there."

"Thank you, Village Chief Li."

"Xiao Jiang, we really don’t need to be this polite. Today, Li Family Village has what it has all thanks to the contributions of you and your spouse. What’s this matter?"

"Alright, then I won’t be polite. In the evening, have Changhe and Red Army come to my house. I’ll ask about their situation, and if they have ideas, we can do it together."

Li Yungui smiled widely. This was indeed great news. Ever since his third son returned, he’s been working even harder. Knowing the kids have matured a lot since going out.

In the evening, the two young men arrived at the Wei Family home. Jiang Xinyu straightforwardly asked them if they wanted to go to university.

Red Army was more cheerful, nodding firmly, "Teacher Jiang, I want to go to university."

Changhe also nodded, "Teacher Jiang, Doctor Liu told me, if I want to continue studying medicine, I must have knowledge. I like medical skills, so I also want to go to university."

"Good, I’ve heard through the grapevine there might be such an opportunity.

Your sister, brother-in-law, second brother, second sister-in-law, and my four, and the two from the Yang Family all definitely want to go to university. Then let’s study together."

The two young men were thrilled. They’ve consistently been studying, having already completed junior high courses, and this year they were self-studying high school textbooks. If they didn’t understand something, they would ask their sister-in-law or their sister. They’ve also learned half of it.

The next day, Li Yungui found tables and chairs, tidied up his house, so that lessons could start the next day.

The Yang Family brothers and sisters rode bikes to call home, and it was convenient to speak here at the transportation team.

Yang Jiu Long initially wanted the two kids and daughter-in-law to come back together, but after hearing that arrangements had been made here to study together with the Wei Family and Han Family children, he felt much more at ease.

"What did your aunt say?"

"Grandpa, Aunt said she would continue teaching. The three of them have attended high school, but our notes and books should be shown to them."

"Okay, you discuss it yourselves. I’ll find knowledgeable people tomorrow and see if there are any books in the Capital bookstore that can be sent to you."

Now, the two were relieved. However, they didn’t mention this to others and understood why Village Chief Li arranged their classes at his home.

Let alone the fact that there’s no notice yet, even if there is one in the future, not everyone will be able to attend.

Zhao Xiaoli and Old Yang discussed this. She attended high school, although she didn’t graduate, she thought there was finally an opportunity and wanted to try.

Old Yang nodded, "Alright, go ahead. I’ll take care of things at home. If Shi Jing and the others really get into the Capital, we’ll definitely go back together, then it’ll be convenient for you to study."

Zhao Xiaoli nodded happily. Going to university has been her dream.

So, thirteen people began studying seriously every day.

Now it’s winter break, and Li Yungui generously said to the educated youth, as long as the educated youth office agrees, he will agree to let them all go home, and can even give them an extra month.

All the educated youth were moved to tears. This year, apart from food, the male educated youth were distributed three hundred and sixty yuan, and female educated youth received three hundred and twenty.

With money in hand, these unmarried educated youth naturally wanted to go home.

The educated youth office has the best impression of Li Family Village’s educated youth; they are the least trouble and rarely come to the office to complain. But Lantian saw these twenty-some educated youth come together to sign and hesitated to make a decision.

"Wait here, I’ll find the leadership. Rest assured, I’ll definitely strive for you."

Lantian truly went all out and spoke good words to the leadership. "Director, since Li Family Village agrees, let them go home."

"Sure, since the village agrees, we won’t hold them back here."

The educated youth from Li Family Village then went to the grain station to exchange food tickets, pack up their things, and prepare much needed for the journey.

Li Yungui had a rare moment of generosity and let Jiushang drive the tractor to take them to the train station.

After the primary school holiday, the Tao Family brothers and sisters and Wang Menglin also came to attend the lessons.

This year, Chaoyang and Jing Chu came back with the truck to transport wine, and they stayed for the New Year.

Chenxi is now over a year old and it’s her first time traveling so far, but she knows she’s going back to the hometown, so the journey was mostly peaceful.

Qu Xiaoli saw her grandson return, and couldn’t stop smiling widely from joy.

Lv Beiguang also cherished his grandson dearly.

Chenxi inherited the best traits from her parents, growing up prettier than Ruoyan and her siblings.

This child particularly likes Jiang Xinyu, and the second favorite is Feifei. But Feifei doesn’t have time to play with him, so every time Feifei sees the little one, he looks at her with a grievance, as if she’s done something utterly unforgivable.

Chaoyang followed to the winery for labor work, with more people, more wine gets brewed. After the New Year, the three of them could leave with the truck again.
