Chapter 290 Should I take the College Entrance Examination?

Lu Zhenping did not come back as quickly as he said. During this period, he called Shen Meng and learned that he had received an order to return to the army.

Shen Meng knew that the regiment where Lu Zhenping worked was going to be recruited and that there was a lot of follow-up work to be done. She understood this very well. Now she was leading her own work and the factories in the two communes very well.

At the end of July, Shen Meng had completed her second year of junior high school. She planned to complete her third year of junior high school in two months. Her tutor thought she was talented and reported her to the dean of studies. The dean wrote a letter of recommendation and recommended her to high school as soon as Shen Meng completed her third year of junior high school and obtained her diploma.

It was also at this time that news of the resumption of the college entrance examination spread, and the educated youth in various communes were shocked.

This news is very important to them. If they can pass the exam, they can go back to the city directly, and they can be assigned a job directly after graduating from university.

Of course, not only the educated youth, but almost everyone who could read and write was very excited, as if they could pass the exam.

Li Qianqian came to see Shen Meng before she got off work.

Through her own efforts, she can now design fairly good drawings independently, and Old John is also very satisfied. After half a year, the orders have increased instead of decreased. The superiors are very appreciative of Secretary Li, saying that a document has been issued and he is likely to be promoted.

"Sister Meng, are you busy now? I have something to tell you."

"I'm free now, not too busy, and I'll be off work soon, but you have to hurry, I have to go home early today, Mingkai is clamoring to eat crispy pork, I have to go home and make it for him!"

The little kid not only asked for delicious food, but also wanted to eat freshly cooked food. She had no chance to cheat even if she wanted to.

"It's not a big deal. The news of the resumption of the college entrance examination has come out. My mother wants me to find a school to register my name. She said that I am now the director of a hair flower factory. If I want to achieve greater success in the future and design better-looking and more popular products, I must learn more. But you know me. This factory is just starting out and I can't do without people. In addition, my child is still young and needs his mother. I don't know what to do at the moment."

Shen Meng thought for a moment and said, "Qianqian, I can't give you any advice on this. If you really pass the exam, it means you won't be able to go home often within three years. Studying requires concentration, and you can't have both. But what Director Qi said is also right. If you want to achieve greater success in the future, you have to make choices. You'd better discuss this matter with Hu Biao. The hair flower factory is actually okay. There are people here to help look after it, so you don't have to worry about it. But Qianqian, I heard that Secretary Li seems to be getting promoted. At this juncture, I think you can actually stay put. There's no rush to take the college entrance examination this year. The college entrance examination has just been resumed, and no one knows what to take. If I were you, I would use my spare time to study hard. You are a capable, potential, thoughtful and conscious girl. I believe you can balance your family, work and study."

Li Qianqian lowered her head for a long time before raising it again.

"I understand, Sister Meng. Actually, I am also unsure. I seldom read books after I started working. In addition, I am married and have children. I am actually unsure about taking the college entrance examination. Now that I have listened to you, I think I can participate and gain some experience. I can also see the questions of the college entrance examination and what the scope of the test is. I believe I can do it. Thank you, Sister Meng. Oh, by the way, my father's transfer order has not come down yet, but the biggest contributor is you. My father said that it is a waste of talent to always let you stay in the bus company. You will have a new position in the future. I would like to congratulate you here."

Shen Meng raised her eyebrows and said nothing. However, since there was a new transfer order, her current job would be taken away, and she felt reluctant to do so. "Qianqian, can you help me ask, if I am transferred, can my current job be transferred to someone else?"

"Okay, Sister Meng, I'll ask my dad later. But Sister Meng, I still have to say one thing. You are too kind-hearted. Do you want to use this job to help others? Take care of yourself when you have time. Don't always think about others. I feel sorry for you when I see you."

Shen Meng: “.”

No, no, no, I just want to sell it. A job pays several thousand dollars at least, it’s a lot of free money, I shouldn’t miss it!!!
In the evening, Shen Meng, Wu Xianglan and Yu Xueli rode on a ox cart towards Lujia Village. There were several other people on the cart with them. Because the hair flower factory was settled in Lujia Village, every household now had money.

More and more people went to the county town. Everyone was very polite when they saw Shen Meng in the car.

"This dress is new today, right? I've never seen you wear it before."

"Lao Qian bought it for me when he went to the provincial capital to teach students. He said that all the women in the provincial capital wore it and it was very fashionable. He not only bought it for me, but also for Daya and Xiaoya. Look, don't they look good?"

Shen Meng nodded. Doctor Qian was a caring person. He not only knew how to please adults, but also children. It seemed that good news would come soon for these two people.

Wu Xianglan watched from the side and felt a little annoyed.

"You are old enough, just get married when you are almost done talking. Don't wait too long or someone will take advantage of you. Aunt Daya, let me tell you, apart from anything else, the Xu family is still keeping an eye on you, so be careful when you go home. When I took the kids to pick vegetables a few days ago, I saw those two old guys hanging around your house with your unlucky son. Hey, they might be up to something!"

Shen Meng glanced at her and she smiled awkwardly.

"I, I don't mean that. I'm just worried that Daya Niang will suffer a loss?"

Yu Xueli didn't say anything and didn't care much about what Wu Xianglan said. This was the first time that Dezi's grandparents had come to see her. She had said everything she should have said. All she could do was pay for Dezi's schooling. She couldn't do anything else, let alone take the child to live with her to take care of him. She didn't even want to think about it.

As long as she took this step, what would follow would be for her to remarry Laizi. She could see that those two old guys wanted to drag her into the quagmire not for Dezi but for Laizi.

In the past, Daya had given Dezi some food, and that made the family become more and more demanding. After educating Daya last time, they saw that they couldn't do anything to Daya, so they started to do something to her now. They wanted to make her soften her heart by using the name of being a mother. Haha, just dream on!
Shen Meng and a few others were walking towards their home. From a distance, they saw Wang Lianhua hugging Yaoyao, and then the things in their room were thrown out bit by bit.
