309: Chapter 307 Pure Wishful Thinking 309: Chapter 307 Pure Wishful Thinking “A university student?
An Ping, who just ca back from Erzhuzi’s place with his books, jumped three feet high with excitent when he heard these words, “Really?
Did my sister really get in?
That’s unbelievable!”
“What’s so unbelievable?
My brain works fine, unlike soone like you,” An Hao said with a laugh.
“?” An Ping choked, asking annoyedly, “What’s wrong with ?
My brain isn’t dumb!”
“It’s not dumb!
It’s just that you don’t study properly!”
“Is that not studying properly?
I’m just not interested at all!
I get a headache as soon as I see a book.
I’m probably just not cut out for this!” An Ping scratched his head irritably and turned to Qin Jian, “Brother-in-law, does your workplace still need temporary workers?
How about I co work at your place?”
“Enough, stop joking around.” An Shuchao intervened quickly to stop his son from talking nonsense, “Your sister’s college entrance exam is no problem.
Now it’s up to you.
If you don’t do well, you might as well not bother going to school and co back ho to help with farming.”
“Farming?
No way!” An Ping grimaced, “Working in the production team doesn’t make much money in a year.
If I can’t get into high school, I’ll have my brother-in-law find a job.
My brother-in-law is a great engineer, and certainly, soone will give face for him, right?”
“Is that…
possible?” An Shuchao was actually sowhat tempted by what his son had said.
“Everyone at our workplace has a pretty high level of education,” Qin Jian said diplomatically.
“Which ans even if they gave you a job, you might not be able to do it!” An Hao glared at her brother, “There are no shortcuts in life; I think you better study steady and secure and then find a good job on your own rit!”
“There isn’t any job that doesn’t require an education?” An Ping asked persistently.
“There is.”
“That’s great.” An Hao was imdiately delighted, “Brother-in-law, get in, and when people ask where I work, I can say I work at the Provincial Electric Power Research Institute.
How reputable would that be?
Hey, by the way, brother-in-law, what job were you referring to?”
“Boiler operator!”
An Ping choked badly.
“Hahaha!” An Hao couldn’t help but let out a burst of laughter, “Serves you right!
This is what happens when you don’t study properly!”
“Boiler operator?
I don’t want to do that!” An Ping said through clenched teeth.
“Worst cos to worst, I’ll just hang around at the production team!
Who cares about going back ho to farm?”
“Production team?” An Shuchao shook his head, “You won’t be hanging around at the production team in the future either.
The central governnt has already issued orders to disband the production teams, and many places have started dividing land among individual households.
We are one of the last groups in the entire country.
The commune has already had etings about it; just waiting for the last batch of wheat to be harvested, and then we’ll start implenting the household responsibility system.”
“Ah?
If we’re working for our own household, won’t we work ourselves to death?” An Ping couldn’t help wailing, “I really didn’t catch the good tis!”
An Hao shook her head in disagreent, “You’re mistaken.
An Ping, you’ve encountered a great era!
If the land really is divided among households, our options in the future will be broader.
As long as we find the right path, our lives will only beco more prosperous.”
“Really?
Then I’ll need you to help find that path!”
“Forget about all those other things for now.
The most important thing at the mont is your middle school exams!” An Hao said.
“Alright.
I’ll listen to you.” It seed studying was the most hassle-free option, but it looked like his realization might be a little too late.
