Chapter 381 Admission Notice
In a blink of an eye, Meng Xiao has been in this place for almost a year. She has gradually become familiar with the people and things in this place, and naturally knows the hard work of working.
A grown man would be exhausted after working in the fields all day.
Not to mention her two younger brothers and sisters who have been spoiled since childhood.
Now that her parents’ situation is unknown, as the eldest child in the family, she should take on the responsibility of taking care of her younger siblings.
Xu Manyue thought for a moment and said, "Xiaoxiao, this matter...I'm afraid it will be difficult to handle."
"The easier jobs in the brigade are usually already taken, and it's hard to get connections with the brigade leader, so I guess I can only work with everyone else."
The team is currently short of manpower, and under normal circumstances, it is impossible to let them not work.
A trace of disappointment flashed in Meng Xiao's eyes, and she sighed, "Forget it, let it be."
She has done her best.
I even thought about spending money to buy some things as gifts for the captain of Qingshan Brigade, but after hearing what Sister Manyue said, I guess that wouldn't work.
Then let them both exercise in the fields.
Returning to the school I hadn’t visited for a long time to continue classes, the first day of class.
The principal called her to his office and asked, "Man Yue, do you have any plans for your future?"
She is not only a teacher, but also a military wife. Now she has a child. Sooner or later she will go to join the army, but she doesn't know exactly when.
He was reluctant to see such a talented person leave, but he could also understand that it was not easy for the young couple to be separated.
Xu Manyue pursed her lips and told her plan.
"Teacher, I plan to finish this semester and then try to take the technical secondary school entrance exam."
The principal looked at her with some surprise. After a long silence, he spoke, "With your ability, continuing to high school and taking the college entrance exam wouldn't be a problem. But you chose to go to a technical secondary school. Was it so you could join the army sooner?"
Although technical secondary school is not bad and graduates are guaranteed to be assigned jobs, it is not as good as university after all.
There is still a big gap between the two.
However, technical secondary school only lasts for three years. If you want to go to university, then you will have to spend two years in high school and several years in university, which adds up to five or six years, which will take a lot of time.
Xu Manyue didn't explain too much. She bowed to the principal and said, "Teacher, thank you for giving me this opportunity. It allows me to stay here and become a teacher with only a junior high school degree."
"But I'm afraid I'll disappoint your expectations and won't be able to continue teaching."
Although she likes being a teacher, she likes to improve herself even more.
If she were still eighteen years old and not married with children, she would definitely want to go to college, but now she has a family and children, and in a few years, that decade will be here.
The only choice she had was to go to technical secondary school.
The principal looked at the students he had taught. He sighed and waved his hand, saying, "Alright, go ahead and do it if you want to. In life, you have to do things that you won't regret in the future."
"Given your current situation, it's difficult for you to directly take the technical secondary school entrance exam. I can write you a letter of recommendation that will allow you to take the exam, but the specific situation depends on you."
It is not that easy to get into a technical secondary school, otherwise, there would not be two or three such students in the entire Hongqi Commune over the years.
Xu Manyue smiled gratefully, "Thank you, teacher."
……
Time flies, and it is the day of the technical secondary school examination in 1962.
This year, Shen Qingqing just entered the first grade of junior high school. After less than half a year of study, Xu Manyue successfully passed the entrance examination to a technical secondary school.
She chose to study mechanics, and after graduation she could be directly assigned to be a technician in a machinery factory.
The monthly salary for a fresh graduate is at least a few dozen yuan, and this major will be very popular for a long time to come.
Even if she doesn't become a technician after graduation, with a secondary technical school degree, she will be assigned a good job by the army when she joins the army.
In short, there are many benefits to studying for three years.
The only downside is that I don’t have extra time to take care of the children. I can only spend time with them after they come home from school.
As for joining the army, Shen Jingming will be able to return to the army in about a year, and she will be able to take her children with her.
If I go to a technical secondary school, joining the army will be postponed for two years.
She had already told Shen Jingming about this, and he didn't object. He even suggested leaving the child at home to be taken care of by his family.
When Xu Manyue finishes her studies and comes back, she will take the child with her to join the army. By then, she will have a technical secondary school diploma, and he can help her find a better job.
Xu Manyue didn't even think about it and wrote back to refuse outright.
She has to get her education and take care of her child, and she doesn't want her child to stay in her hometown forever.
This is a piece of flesh that fell from her body, how could her mother bear to let it go?
After Shen Jingming learned of Xu Manyue's attitude, he didn't say anything, but just sent back another 500 yuan.
The day when the technical secondary school admission notice came out.
The entire Qingshan Brigade was in an uproar, and everyone ran to the Shen family to inquire about the situation.
"Did your daughter Man Yue really get into a technical secondary school? Isn't she a teacher at the commune's primary school? She's married and has children. How did she suddenly want to apply to a technical secondary school and get in so fast?"
Their Qingshan Brigade has never had anyone go to technical secondary school. I heard that once you graduate from a technical secondary school, you will at least be a city cadre, with your household registration and job settled. You are just like a golden phoenix flying out of the mountains.
As for taking the college entrance examination, they never thought about what kind of college students could come out of their remote mountain village.
In their eyes, a technical secondary school degree is the highest.
The old lady raised her chin and smiled proudly, "Of course not. My daughter Man Yue is amazing. She hasn't been to school for many years, but she managed to pass the exam right away. I heard that after graduation, she will be a technician in the machinery factory in the city."
"You know, technicians are cadres, they earn several hundred yuan a month, and the salary goes up every year."
Some people wondered, "But isn't Man Yue going to join the army? If she goes to study, what will happen to the children at home, and what will happen to her husband who is far away in the army?"
You have to study for three years, not three days, but three years.
Man Yue's mind is too wild. She is a married young wife, but she still does such a thing.
Mrs. Shen glared at the man and said, "Huh, why are you talking so unpleasantly? Can't I continue studying after getting married? Who said that? Besides, I can still join the army after I finish my studies."
"My third brother and sister-in-law didn't say anything, but you guys are pointing fingers here."
"One or two, why are you so idle?"
The old lady's face was not happy either. "Today is the full moon day for my family and I received the acceptance letter. It is a great joy. I don't want to argue with you."
"There's no need for outsiders to talk about our family affairs."
