Chapter 367: Chapter 367

The village committee’s antics were well known to Zhao Gang and his group through various channels.

Some were informants, like Erya and the neighbor Da Shuan.

More were hoping that after Zhao Gang heard about the different difficulties Li Jian Country was facing, Zhao Gang would take the initiative to help solve this problem.

Lately, Gong Ruini and her group would go collect some herbs in the morning and then collect them again in the evening, just to avoid the villagers’ attention.

Since the supply and marketing cooperative stopped purchasing herbs, the village atmosphere has become increasingly serious and tense.

Not only that, but a lot of families have started to argue, and as for the culprit, Zhen Aijun, who knows how many people in the village he’s cursed at.

Whenever she heard such commotion, Gong Ruini felt quite pleased. Let them make noise; only then would those people feel the pain.

If they didn’t feel a bit of pain, they wouldn’t remember, and they would continue to make the same mistakes in the future.

"Uncle, are you going to help?" Gong Ruini was only concerned about this.

"How can I help?" Zhao Gang was helpless in various ways, "Our family also has herbs. If I had a way, at least I wouldn’t let our herbs go to waste."

Zhao Gang was unwilling to do such foolish things. "If I hadn’t gotten the news, perhaps I would consider it, after all, we still have to live in the Red Flag Brigade."

One should hold themselves with some dignity, but not too much, otherwise, you might get into trouble and find yourself in a disadvantageous position.

However, the news Zhao Gang had gathered made him determined to maintain his individuality.

Hey, how come this is different from what was previously discussed, Gong Tao was really puzzled, "Really not going to lend a hand?"

Gong Tao also didn’t want to play the good guy since even if this gets resolved, there’s no guarantee things will be fine next year, and if it really isn’t taken care of, who knows what else might pop up.

The days of helplessness really made Gong Tao regret not getting in touch with his old superiors to return.

"We’re not stepping in." Zhao Gang was very certain, "We may soon be able to leave here."

Zhao Gang spoke with excitement, "We can all leave here."

"Since we’re all leaving, why should we care about how the people here look at us?"

Previously, Zhao Gang really thought Li Jian Country was good, and he really considered the villagers, but now he regrets it, he’s not as nice as he thought.

Leaving here? Those words made everyone look at Zhao Gang. To say they didn’t want to go back would be untrue. If life here was as peaceful as before, perhaps the thought of returning wouldn’t be so strong.

However, the upheaval in recent days really made everyone start to dis place a bit, but they don’t know how to go back.

"I heard that the college entrance examination is going to be reinstated." Zhao Gang excitedly whispered to everyone.

Gong Ruini actually knew when Zhao Gang spoke so excitedly that it should be about the college entrance exam. Though it’s only August, how come the news has already spread? It’s really strange.

But considering the time, there are really only a few months left before the exam, so it’s normal for some well-connected people to know the news. For origınal chapters go to novel~fire~net

Moreover, Zhao Gang had good relationships with key figures in military factories, so it was also normal if he got the news early.

"College entrance examination?" Cai Ming was the most excited. Ever since there was no college entrance exam, he dreamed of going to university, but knowing that his family gave up on it and sent him to be an educated youth, he completely gave up on this dream, never expecting there would be a day to realize it.

"Can the college entrance examination really be reinstated?" Cai Ming asked excitedly.

Zhao Gang nodded, "Yes, although I don’t know exactly when it will be reinstated, it won’t be later than next year."

Cai Meina was really happy for her brother. Knowing the girl Cai Ming liked, she worried for Cai Ming. Being separated isn’t the only issue, but if her brother were to settle in the Northeast, would the girl’s family agree?

Even if her brother is now a teacher, so what? He’s still working in the Northeast, he’s just a farmer, especially since the Cai Family’s reputation isn’t great now, he’s really not an ideal son-in-law.

Now if the college entrance examination is reinstated, as long as her brother gets into university, then if he wants to be with that girl in the future, her family won’t completely shut him down, "Cai Ming, you have to study hard and strive to get into university."

"In the future, you’ll have the ability to take Xuran and the others out." Cai Meina didn’t know if they could go back, but they’re already at such an age, whether going back is really important, but Zhao Xuran is still young; they can’t always stay in the Northeast, they should go out and see the world.

"Yes, yes, sis, don’t worry, I will." Cai Ming nodded repeatedly, indicating he would definitely establish himself outside and then take Zhao Xuran and them out.

As for whether he can get into university, Cai Ming really thinks it’s not an issue. He never gave up on his studies, and he has a set of high school textbooks and practice papers, and during these days of frustration and helplessness, he hasn’t stopped doing practice questions, so even if the college entrance exam starts now, it’s no pressure for him.

Seeing the excited Cai siblings, Zhao Gang knew they hadn’t fully understood what he meant, "Meina, whether our children go out in the future may not depend on Cai Ming."

Ah, if not relying on Cai Ming, then who? Cai Meina was confused.

"We might also be able to take the college entrance examination." Zhao Gang said with excitement, "Since many people have left school and given up on their studies, there’s a chance this college entrance exam will expand the range of eligible candidates."

"Of course, whether it’s really is still under discussion." Zhao Gang immediately added, remembering the cautionary words from others.

Zhao Gang was also worried about what if the last part wasn’t included, so he added a precautionary statement.

Ah, so can we actually take the exam or not? Cai Meina hadn’t even started cheering when Zhao Gang’s additional words confused her, sigh, it would have been better not to say, otherwise she wouldn’t be so torn.

If there’s no hope, then there’s absolutely no hope, but to give hope only to let people down is what’s truly upsetting.

"I wanted to say we should start reviewing our lessons." Zhao Gang knew what he said made people feel at a loss, but it had to be stated, otherwise, what if they don’t review and it turns out they can register for the exam in the end?

It’s better to start reviewing lessons early, that’s what truly matters, "Even if in the end we can’t take the exam, it doesn’t matter, it’s like we’re just accompanying Cai Ming in his review."

After all, it’s clear that Cai Ming can take the exam, so it’s like creating a study atmosphere for Cai Ming.

"We must study." Gong Tao didn’t want to give up such a good opportunity, just in case they’re allowed to take the exam, if they don’t review, they certainly won’t pass, but if they review and don’t take the exam, it’s fine, it’s like enriching themselves, otherwise, they’d just be bored.

In the past, they often went out, now not going out, staying at home is quite annoying, especially seeing those herbs in the house, how can one not be vexed, it’s better to forget about troublesome things through studying.
