Chapter 1086: First 2 rounds of screening (2)
After making up his mind, Zhou Mingxuan said calmly after listening to Zhou Wenbing's question.
“There’s nothing fair or unfair about this.
Didn’t you hear what the team leader said just now? The higher-ups asked the production team to select outstanding young people to go to college.
Just like what the team leader said, in the countryside, apart from those educated youth like Liu Jingxue who used her skills to contribute to the production team, others who did not have any skills had to rely on farming to perform well.
It is normal for them to use work points to screen out unqualified people.”
"But haven't you also contributed to the production team by helping to sell goods? It's just not reflected in the work points." Zhou Wenbing still spoke up for the two of them.
Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao helped him a lot. Knowing that his family was in a bad situation, they taught him how to find people to do business with.
With the help of the two, he also helped the production team sell some chicken, duck and goose eggs, and at the end of the year he sold some poultry and earned some money.
Therefore, what he said just now was sincerely to speak up for the two people.
Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao couldn't help but laugh. They didn't feel wronged, but this guy felt wronged for them.
However, this also indirectly shows that Zhou Wenbing is a grateful person and he deserves help.
Zhao Junhao stretched out his hand and hooked his neck, "Brother Zhou, we don't feel wronged, so don't complain for us.
The production team has noticed the contribution we have made to it.
Look at this vote, most of the villagers voted for us, allowing us to be shortlisted with a high vote.
So we didn’t lose out in the end.”
After hearing this, Zhou Wenbing was stunned at first, but after a little thought, he finally reacted.
"If it's a recommendation to go to other universities, that's fine. Mingxuan and I will definitely fight for it.
But this is going to an agricultural university, why should we fight over that?
Agricultural University, just by hearing the name you can tell what you will learn after attending school.
If I really go there, I'm afraid I'll learn how to farm and grow crops, and learn while I grow.
If we really want to go there, it will be really difficult, we are not that kind of person.”
"So, just sift it out."
"Since you don't want to go to Agricultural University, why did you apply for it?" Chen Guoqing asked puzzledly.
Isn't it just to take up the quota for educated youth, Zhao Junhao thought to himself, but he certainly couldn't say that.
If I say this out loud, I will offend all the educated youth.
He deliberately lowered his voice so that only the people around him could hear,
“We are thinking that if we are selected, we will have the opportunity to return to the city.
Isn't this why you signed up? Are you really planning to learn how to farm?"
After saying this, he deliberately looked at the educated youth who had registered and gave them a look that said you understand, I understand, and everyone understands.
"We are just going to give it a try. If it works, it works. If it doesn't, we won't suffer any loss.
At least we tried our best.”
"Zheng Zhiqing, am I right?" Zhao Junhao deliberately asked Zheng Jianmin.
What else could Zheng Jianmin say? He could only force a smile and replied, "Zhao Zhiqing is right."
Zhou Mingxuan glared at Zhao Junhao, blaming him for pulling Zheng Jianmin to express his opinion.
He quickly tried to smooth things over, "Zheng Zhiqing, don't worry, in terms of work points, you definitely have more than me and Haozi.
There is a high probability that Haozi and I will be eliminated in this round, but you might be able to make it."
After all, since he got married, he has to support his wife and then his children, so Zheng Jianmin has been working very hard in the past two years.
Among the educated youth, his work points ranked third, only after Liu Jingxue and Zhou Wenbing.
Although Zhou Mingxuan's words gave Zheng Jianmin some comfort, he was not 100% sure that he could pass.
He shook his head and said, “That’s not necessarily true.
Didn’t I hear the captain say just now that this round will be from 12 to 8?
Although my work points may be higher than yours, I may not be able to make it into the top 8.
After all, the villagers are better at working than us.”
This was the truth, but it made others not know how to comfort him.
Fortunately, in the final result, Zheng Jianmin was ranked 8th and barely made the cut.
After announcing the shortlist, the captain frowned. He didn't expect that in addition to Xiaoxue, there was also Zheng Jianmin who slipped through the net.
However, thinking of the content of the next test, he felt relieved and thought that he should be able to eliminate Xiaoxue and Zheng Jianmin in the next level.
After looking at the two names of villagers who were eliminated, the captain snorted in his heart.
It seems that these two companies will not be able to rest.
Who made them think that their children would become successful scholars if they went to school, and they wouldn't have to work in the fields anymore?
He didn't find a job. He went to the city to take several job exams, but failed every time.
He doesn't go out to work, just sleeps at home every day and hangs around everywhere.
After what happened today, I guess their family won’t tolerate them anymore and will force them to work in the fields.
"Jianmin, that's great, you've entered the next round." Qin Fang said to Zheng Jianmin, hugging her son.
Zheng Jianmin was all smiles at this time, "I really didn't expect that I could be shortlisted.
There are villagers whose work points are lower than mine.
I don’t know what the next assessment will be.”
After hearing what Zheng Jianmin said, Tang Qiangjun immediately shouted, "Captain, when is the next test tomorrow, and what will it be about?"
“We’ll know tomorrow what the next exam will be.
We will gather here tomorrow morning. The 8 shortlisted people should remember to come early tomorrow.
It would be best if you come here after the first shift tomorrow."
After all, you still have to answer and mark the papers, which takes a lot of time.
The captain quickly reminded, "Remember to bring a pen.
Okay, that's all for today, team leaders, please lead everyone to work."
"Bring a pen." Tang Qiangjun repeated the captain's words, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Zheng Zhiqing, tomorrow we won't be testing on cultural knowledge, will we?
Otherwise, the captain wouldn’t have specifically emphasized that we bring a pen.”
"should be.
If the test is about cultural knowledge, Zheng Zhiqing will definitely win.
How could those country bumpkins possibly pass the exam better than us?" Zhong Zhiqing said with great pride, as if he was the one who made the cut.
Liu Jingxue frowned and looked at him. How could this man have the nerve to look down on the villagers.
"Zhong Zhiqing, I remember when you registered you said you were a junior high school graduate?" Liu Jingxue said indifferently.
Zhong Zhiqing was shocked to see Liu Jingxue taking the initiative to talk to him.
Ever since that day when they and Ning Zhiqing were scared to death by Liu Jingxue in the mountains, they would take a detour whenever they saw Liu Jingxue.
After a while, the two of them were put into sacks and beaten severely. Their faces and noses were swollen and it took them several days to heal.
The ones who beat people up were naturally Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao.
Seeing Liu Jingxue asking questions, Zhong Zhiqing dared not to answer, and quickly said, "I graduated from junior high school."
In fact, he only attended junior high school for one year and did not finish it. He still had to buy his diploma.
But he dared not say it.
“Among the villagers who made the cut, there are two who graduated from high school and have a higher level of education than you.
Are you sure you can beat them if you take the test?"
Zhong Zhiqing was speechless.
"Don't always call yourself a country bumpkin and look down on country people.
The food you eat now is all grown by the country people.
Do you really think that the little work you do can support yourselves?
Don't eat with your bowl in hand and curse your mother when you put it down." Zhou Mingxuan spoke for Liu Jingxue.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became a little awkward.
Finally, it was Zheng Jianmin who broke the awkward atmosphere, “I have only graduated from junior high school. If I am tested on cultural knowledge, I am afraid I will not be able to score as well as Liu Zhiqing and the two villagers who graduated from high school.
But I will try my best.”
