A week passed quickly.

When he came home from school on Saturday afternoon, Zeng Wei unexpectedly found that his eldest sister Zeng Jiao had gone home, which made Zeng Wei very happy.

Zeng Wei and his eldest sister Zeng Jiao's relationship has always been very good, because he was almost brought up by his eldest sister.

Since Zeng Wei was weaned, the family's economic situation has deteriorated sharply, and his parents and grandmother have been working in the fields day and night, obtaining meager output to support the family, and the matter of taking care of his younger siblings fell on the head of the eldest sister Zeng Jiao, who was only ten years old at the time and was still in elementary school.

This situation lasted until Zeng Wei was admitted to high school in the city two years ago, when Zeng Wei began elementary school.

Zeng Wei knew that the eldest sister went home today to get tuition and living expenses.

Nowadays, there are no weekends, and there is only one day off per week. Even, because it is a senior year of high school, one day off a week is not guaranteed, but only one and a half days of monthly leave a month.

No, Zeng Jiao went to school in early August to make up for classes, and she didn't have time to go home until today.

………………

Zeng Wei was naturally very happy to see Zeng Jiao, but Zeng Wei was a little unhappy about her state at the moment. Because when she saw Zeng Wei coming back, she just glanced up, said hello, and then lowered her head and continued to read her book.

Of course, if Zeng Wei was busy studying, Zeng Wei would not have such an idea, in fact, because what she was reading at the moment was not textbooks and tutorial materials, but a book of "Ancient Legends".

Zeng Wei couldn't help but think of some memories hidden deep in his heart.

The eldest sister Zeng Jiao's grades have always been good, and if she continues to develop according to this trend, not to mention being admitted to the famous schools of the five people in Beihua in the Qing Dynasty, it is no problem to be admitted to a key university such as Sichuan University and Jiangda.

However, since the second year of high school, Zeng Jiao's grades began to decline, and by the end of last semester, her grades had dropped to the estimated ordinary undergraduate line. And after the mock exam at the end of the first semester of the third year of high school, her grades just passed the junior college line.

Because of the rapid decline in grades, coupled with the fact that the family's economic situation is not very good, and her younger brothers and sisters are all in school, Zeng Jiao simply chose to drop out of school, anyway, she can already get a high school diploma at this time.

The root cause of her declining grades is that she has not focused entirely on her studies since the first semester of high school.

Of course, Zeng Wei didn't know these at first, and his parents didn't know either, like Zeng Wei later, they were busy with work every day and didn't care about Zeng Wei's studies.

The reason why Zeng Wei knew these things was that after he went to high school, Zeng Jiao, who was already married, told him, and she used this to warn Zeng Wei.

………………

Seeing Zeng Jiao, who was immersed in the world of novels, Zeng Wei felt that he should do something.

After all, at this time, she had just entered her third year of high school, and her grades had not yet dropped to an incorrigible level, and the foundation was still there. If she can change her attitude from now on, one year will be enough time for her to improve her grades.

It's just that how can I convince her?

I'm still a little kid under eight years old, and I can't convince me to say anything. And once a person is obsessed with something, it is difficult to listen to other people's opinions.

But he didn't do anything, and let the eldest sister fall like this, Zeng Wei was really unwilling.

You must know that it is only 1992, and college graduates are assigned by package, even if they are admitted to the worst junior college, their jobs are guaranteed after graduation.

As Zeng Wei, who has memories of his past life, knows very well that the eldest sister who will take the college entrance examination next year is likely to be the last lucky one. This is because from 1994 onwards, universities will begin to implement the reform of merger admissions.

………………

The so-called reform of the merger of ordinary colleges and universities is the reform of the enrollment system, fee collection and graduate employment system of ordinary colleges and universities, and it is a systematic reform of higher education on the enrollment system, fee system and graduate employment system of ordinary colleges and universities. In fact, this reform began with enrollment and involved comprehensive reforms in many aspects, such as fees, teaching, student status management, and graduate employment in ordinary colleges and universities.

In the past, the mode of running schools of higher learning with unified enrollment, unified distribution, state investment, and free enrollment was formed under the planned economic system, and this model is incompatible with the current socialist market economic system, and must be reformed.

In the past, when the dual-track enrollment system was implemented, it was necessary to delineate two admission score lines for the two different forms of the plan, and the score line for self-funded and commission trainees in the adjustment plan was lower than the score line for unified enrollment in the national task plan, resulting in unfairness in education.

The implementation of the dual-track system has added many difficulties and problems in the areas of enrollment and school teaching management, as well as in mobilizing students' enthusiasm.

The long-term existence of the dual-track system violates the laws of education, is not conducive to the reform of higher education, and cannot meet the requirements of the socialist market economic system.

In order to make higher education take the initiative to meet the needs of the socialist market economy, safeguard the principle of educational fairness, change the training mechanism of institutions of higher learning, encourage students to study hard and aspire to become talents, promote the reform of teaching management in ordinary colleges and universities, and improve the quality of teaching, the Ministry of Education has decided to actively promote the reform of institutions of higher learning.

………………

However, this kind of reform is very unfavorable for families like the Zeng family.

Nowadays, the income of ordinary people in ordinary cities is about 4,000 yuan a year, which naturally includes some necessary daily living expenses that need to be removed, and the rest is very meager. If it is a dual-income family, both husband and wife have stable jobs and stable benefits, then there should be no problem in supporting a college student under the premise that there are no major events and no other living burdens.

However, in real life, there are still many families at this stage who are single-income families, and there is not only one child in the family, so it is very difficult for such a family to support a college student, and it is generally impossible not to borrow.

Not to mention, there are many students from rural families who have difficulty making up such a tuition fee after the college entrance examination.

In the past, when the dual-track enrollment system was in place, some students with difficulties in life could go to university at public expense, and only needed to pay a small fee symbolically a year, but after the enrollment merger, the tuition and miscellaneous fees paid would naturally be much higher than the original, which would cause great difficulties in life, so that many students were admitted to key universities, but could not be admitted because of high tuition fees.

What's more, with the reform of the merger of colleges and universities, it will inevitably bring about a large-scale expansion of universities, followed by a lack of jobs, and the previous system of distribution of college graduates will inevitably withdraw from the stage. Since 1996, the state has stopped implementing the package distribution policy, and after 1998, it has been implemented on a large scale, and by 2000, the package distribution system was completely stopped.

Zeng Wei remembered that the eldest sister's classmates who were admitted to college eventually had formal jobs, while those like the eldest sister who were not admitted to college either went out to work or went home to repair the earth.

Zeng Wei knows very well how different these ways out are.

It can even be said that this may not only affect the eldest sister's future life, but even directly related to the fortune of her family in the next few decades. If the eldest sister can be admitted to a good university and enter the career after graduation, then when she grows up, she will have a solid backer.

Therefore, no matter from which point of view, Zeng Wei has to give guidance to his eldest sister and change her fate.

With a decision, Zeng Wei didn't enter the door and put down his schoolbag, but stood by Zeng Wei's side and said loudly: "Sister, have your grades dropped?"

Zeng Jiao was stunned for a moment, and said in her heart Who was talking, but when she looked back, she found that her younger brother Zeng Wei, who originally thought that he had entered the house, was standing beside him seriously at this time, staring at him with bright eyes.

Zeng Jiao was a little surprised, his younger brother must be smart, because since he went to school, he has never fallen out of the top three in the class.

But smart is smart, how could he know that his grades had dropped? He had never mentioned it to his family, and there was no school with him in the village, so no one should tell his family.

Zeng Jiao is very sure of this, because her parents and grandmother still don't know about her declining grades.

Seeing Zeng Wei standing there like an adult, Zeng Wei couldn't help but feel a ridiculous feeling in her heart.

Zeng Jiao stood up with a little weakness, touched Zeng Wei's head, and asked with some worry: "Mao, what's wrong with you?

Zeng Wei pursed his lips and said, "Sister, don't pretend, I'm not so easy to fool." ”

Zeng Jiao also looked at his younger brother with some hesitation, not knowing what went wrong, whether someone told him or he analyzed it from the clues? Thinking about it, it is extremely impossible, how old is he!

Since Zeng Wei has already opened his mouth, he can't help but make his words clear, otherwise he will miss this good opportunity, his family will lose this opportunity, and his happy life will not come many years later.

After all, although he can open a golden finger at any time, he also has no ability to fight for his own happiness with his own body and the body of a young child, which is really a bit difficult to achieve in this era and in this society.

Seeing the eldest sister looking at herself with a stunned look, Zeng Wei sighed helplessly, and said in an old-fashioned manner: "Sister, I didn't say you, you have to be motivated!"

Hearing her seven-and-a-half-year-old brother say this to herself, a cold sweat suddenly broke out on Zeng Jiao's head.

If the head teacher said this to himself, or other teachers in the school said it to himself, or if he resigned himself to his parents and parents, Zeng Jiao would be understandable and could accept it with peace of mind and humility. However, it is really appalling that these words came from the mouth of his younger brother, who is less than eight years old.
