Chapter 60: Dream University
Chapter 60: Fulfilling the Dream of College
【1】
In the afternoon of this day, when Zhang Guangming returned from the commune meeting, he came to the experimental base in a very anxious manner, and shouted to the two intellectuals who were irrigating wheat: "Xiao Qin, Xiao Li, I tell you a great news!" The two intellectuals were watering the ground with shovels, and when they heard him say this, they looked at him with expectant eyes. Zhang Zhishu hurriedly said, "Now the college entrance examination system is restored!"
"Oh, I've finally looked forward to this day!" the two of them said together at once.
"I think you two should take the college entrance examination, because you two have been following me for the past few years to study the courses of agricultural universities, and have followed me to learn new varieties of crops for several years, and have also learned from me the management techniques of crops. So I believe that the two of you will definitely be able to get into the Agricultural University!"
The two of them smiled when they heard this, and said in unison, "Thank you for cultivating the two of us with your heart!" The two looked at each other, discussed in a whisper, and then said, "The two of us will apply for China Agricultural University." As the servants were talking, the professor came over with animal dung and humming a little song in his mouth. They told the professor about this idea, and the professor said that this is a good thing, and I also think that you two should take the college entrance examination.
Zhang Guangming said: I still have to use a loudspeaker to inform the aspiring young people in the village of this good news, and whoever wants to take the college entrance examination should quickly review their homework......
On the day of registration, Zhang Guangming drove a carriage and carried two educated youths to the registration location in the county seat. The three of them saw that there were already many people rushing to sign up. "Eh, look, there are groups of people who have signed up, all with excited expressions, there are young men and women, and fathers come with a child, and mothers come with two children by hand!" Li Zhongqiu said to her boyfriend and Zhang Guangming in surprise.
When Qin Chun and Li Zhongqiu were in school, their grades were the first and second in the school respectively. Fortunately, in the past few years, Qin Chun and Li Zhongqiu have listened to Zhang Zhishu's words, no matter what discipline it is, it must be a combination of theory and practice. So the two of them seriously followed Zhang Zhishu to learn a lot of knowledge in agriculture.
The two educated youths were successfully admitted to China Agricultural University, and they got the best results, ranking first and second in the country respectively. The news reached the ears of the four educated youths who had gone to the countryside together in Muyehua Village. The two educated youths who were recommended to go to college, as well as the two educated youths who were soldiers, had to celebrate Qin Chun and Li Zhongqiu.

There are also two people in Makino Flower Village who have also been admitted to prestigious schools.
One is Zhou Feng. When Zhou Feng was about to commit suicide by taking sleeping pills that day, Li Yue'e and Wang Meihua read to her the inspirational poem written by Zhang Guangming. So, she abandoned her worries and worked tirelessly to learn about medicine every day. She also found a teacher who taught her, borrowed medical textbooks, and studied diligently every day. This time the college entrance examination was resumed, she also registered, took the college entrance examination, and was admitted to Capital Medical University with excellent results. Her father-in-law's opinion of her changed completely. The old couple is very happy, and their daughter-in-law has a future. The two were sad again, because the old couple was very reluctant to part with their virtuous daughter-in-law. Lao Jiaotou let Zhou Feng go to college in the capital with confidence, and it was no problem for the two children to be handed over to him. Zhou Feng is very grateful to her in-laws for being reasonable.
The other is Zhang Yan, who was abandoned by Wu Baoguo. Zhang Yan couldn't accept her boyfriend's change of heart at first, she locked herself in the house all day to wash her face with tears, and her father and mother were so angry that she was sick for many days. Zhang Changsheng looked helpless, so he went to Zhang Zhishu to persuade his sister and parents. Zhang Guangming came to Zhang Guangliang's fourth brother's house, and he first persuaded the fourth brother and the fourth sister-in-law. Zhang Yan sat on the edge of her parents' bed, and Zhang Guangming saw her face full of tears and looked heartbroken. Zhang Guangming took out a pen and notebook from his jacket pocket and wrote the following paragraph:
For the rise of the motherland, please put aside your personal love and hatred.
For the prosperity of the country, please cheer up your spirit and live strongly.
For the sake of your personal future, please study diligently and diligently.
For the health of your parents, please force your face to smile and be filial to the first.
For the crystallization of love, please cherish yourself and protect life.
After he finished writing, he solemnly handed it to Sister Zhang Yan. She took it and looked at it, and as she read it, she suddenly wiped away her tears with her right hand, and a passionate look appeared in her eyes. She suddenly came to her senses and said, "Brother Guangming, I'm too confused these days. She clenched her fist with her right hand and said in a firm tone, "Okay, in order to build a beautiful motherland, I want to study hard, Zhang Yan come on, come on!" As soon as the father and mother heard the eldest daughter say this, they immediately became happy, and both of them got out of bed, one of them held Zhang Guangming's hand and said words of thanks.

The six intellectuals who participated in the labor in Makino Flower Village gathered again after a few years of separation, and several of them greeted each other and told each other about their respective living conditions after parting.
The educated youths were chatting happily, and suddenly, a dignified and beautiful woman came, although she was dressed as a country woman, but she was full of the extraordinary temperament of an intellectual woman. She was holding a very smart and handsome little boy in her hand. Everyone was dumbfounded. She didn't squint, and her hateful gaze approached that "Chen Shimei". Wu Baoguo was embarrassed and surprised, his face was intertwined with complex emotions, and his two hands subconsciously stretched out, but they retracted. Wu Baoguo immediately lowered his head, eager to find a hole to sneak into.
"Wow, isn't this the soft and weak Zhang Yan? She used to be rustic, but now she ......," Li Xuehua said in surprise. The educated youths immediately stood up and looked at Wu Baoguo, and then at Zhang Yan, no one said a word, obviously there were so many people standing here, but the room seemed silent. The child opened a pair of curious eyes, raised his head and asked, "Mom, what are you doing here with me?"
"Zhang Jibao, I'll take you to recognize someone. Zhang Yan was in the love of a mother, she squatted down and took her son's little hand with both hands, and said solemnly in a gentle tone, "Today you will be able to meet your biological father." ”
The child said with tears in his eyes: "I have a father? The children all say that I, Zhang Jibao, you are a wild seed without a father!" Wu Baoguo buried his head even lower when he heard this. Zhang Yan was so angry that her lips began to tremble at this time, and she suddenly pointed at Wu Baoguo and said, "Zhang Jibao, you are not a wild seed! You are a child with a father, and he is your own father!"
The educated youths immediately turned their eyes to Wu Baoguo, and exclaimed in unison: "Are you the child's father?" The child was overjoyed, and looked in the direction of his mother's finger, only to see the big man with his head down, holding his head with both hands, scratching his hair. Zhang Jibao walked over quickly, he couldn't wait to see what his father looked like. The child came to Wu Baoguo, a pair of curious eyes looked left and right, and he saw a blushing face. "Are you my own father? Why haven't you come to see me? I'm very well-behaved and sensible!" the father was at a loss, and he looked up instead of looking at the child, but turned his gaze out the window.
"Look at the boy who looks like his father carved out of the same mold. The educated youths said gossipingly, "Wu Baoguo, why don't you recognize the child?" He was expressionless, still silent.
Zhang Yan couldn't bear to say: "The child was scolded by others as a wild seed, are you still indifferent? Your son was discriminated against, you can't blame him......" She choked up and couldn't say any more. She was already in tears by this time. Qin Chun, Li Zhongqiu, and Ma Xiaomei all persuaded Wu Baoguo to recognize this lovely son. Wu Baoguo glanced at Zhang Yan with contempt, and said with arrogance: I am a dignified provincial-level high-ranking cadre, and marrying her to a village girl in the countryside makes people laugh and lose their big teeth? Li Xuehua also helped: That is, that doesn't make people laugh and talk nonsense?
Zhang Yan immediately took out a college admission letter from her coat pocket and handed it to the man she would never forget. Wu Baoguo took it and looked at it, immediately turned into an upward gaze, and said in a pleading tone: "Ah, Zhang Yan, you have been admitted to the university? Moreover, it is a famous school in Beijing! Then we will register our marriage today, shall we?" He immediately picked up his son, first kissed his son's red little face, and then kissed his son's full forehead. The child giggled happily a few times, and then he shouted ecstatically: I am not a wild seed! I have a father! I have a father! Zhang Yan looked at it, and then showed a smile that he had not seen for a long time. The educated youths applauded to congratulate Lao Yan on their separation, and they reunited after a few years.

The people of Makino Flower Village are all excited and proud of the four college students. Zhang Guangming thought that these four college students should be eaten, so he asked his wife to make a table of wild vegetables banquet, which was celebrated by Jiao Dachuan, Wu Baoguo, and Professor Guo...... Everyone celebrated the four college students.
Jiao Dachuan is very happy, not only because his wife was admitted to a famous university in my country, but also because the second elder not only no longer has any prejudice against his wife, but also eliminates the misunderstanding of his wife. The second elder now respects his wife very much and admires him.
The two intellectuals have already had an inseparable nostalgia for Muyehua Village, and every time they go home to see their families during the holidays, they immediately rush to Muyehua Village from the provincial capital, where they still learn the professional knowledge of agricultural universities with Mr. Zhang during the day, cultivate new varieties of crops together, and manage crop seedlings together. At night, he studied with Professor Guo to design and manufacture advanced machines for large-scale farming.
At Capital Medical University, she was eager to study medical knowledge, and she also humbly consulted her mentors and medical experts about traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, as well as acupuncture and massage, which are four specific methods for treating paralyzed patients. She also learned the medical skills of acupuncture and massage rehabilitation. Zhou Feng came back from the holiday, washed her in-laws every day, cooked delicious meals, and ate with the second elder with both hands. Every day, she does acupuncture for her mother-in-law, plus kneading, pinching, pressing, pushing, etc., to help her mother-in-law do rehabilitation training. After her careful care and superb medical treatment, my mother-in-law is now able to walk on the ground. The in-laws were particularly happy about this. Now Lao Jiaotou praises his daughter-in-law Zhou Feng for not only being good-hearted, virtuous and filial, but also smart and capable, and praising her for being a rare good daughter-in-law.
When Zhou Feng was studying in Beijing, she was able to get together with her husband every day, and the couple was very happy.
Zhang Guangming wrote a letter to each of the four college students, in which he first praised several aspiring young people for being able to refuse mediocrity in order to realize their college dreams. He also wrote the words of expectation: I hope that you can work hard for the rise of the great motherland, study professional courses hard, and work hard for the country!
