Chapter 317: Chapter 318 Together We Learn
Mr. Xu spoke a lot, his words were harsh, but their reasoning was sound.
"One thing, if it belongs to everyone and anyone can use it, naturally they won’t cherish it because it isn’t theirs. But once it belongs to them, they’d rather hide it and not let anyone else use it."
"If land were allotted to individuals, then they would have to depend on the land for their food. If they worked hard, they’d yield more; if not, they’d have no harvest."
"Any normal person who wants to make money would definitely work hard."
"Allocating land would only increase everyone’s motivation, making them want to strive and compete."
Mrs. Xu’s face was full of surprise, "Is this true?"
Mr. Xu nodded, "I expect it will be implemented after a while."
Xu Ying looked at Mr. Xu with a smile on her face, "Dad, can we lease out our back hill? I want to take on the lease."
Mr. Xu came in late, completely unaware of his daughter’s recent big earnings.
He lifted his head to look at his daughter, "It can be leased out. With such an area of land, the price must be considerable. Our family doesn’t have that much money to take on the lease."
"Dad, this is the money I’ve earned from my recent trip. I’ve given it to you and Mom. I’ll be getting a salary soon, not much, probably a few hundred thousand. Huo Chen also gave me over twenty thousand before, and he has disappeared for a while again, probably found some business to make money. Maybe he’ll bring back a few ten thousand yuan."
Mr. Xu spat out the water he just drank, his face full of shock, "Daughter, what are you doing, earning a few hundred thousand as salary? Don’t joke with your father, or I’ll get angry."
Xu Ying looked at her elderly parents, who were indeed like-minded, both saying similar things, "Dad, do you know which factory had the highest turnover at the national foreign trade fair this time?"
Mr. Xu looked puzzled at his daughter, "Our food factory made a direct transaction of 258,000 US dollars. The textile factory made 98 dollars then, but now the textile factory’s order sheets keep coming. Director Yang from the Shanghai Ministry of Foreign Affairs will personally bring foreign guests to Yu County for a visit soon. By then, the textile factory’s turnover might be counted. I don’t know which one, the food factory or the textile factory will be first. Anyway, Yu Province will definitely be first in performance this year." Xu Ying said proudly in front of her elderly parents. It was all thanks to their daughter.
Now, the transmission of information is relatively slow, unlike in later generations where anything uploaded to the internet is instantly visible everywhere. The news of this foreign trade fair was still passing down level by level. By the time it reached Yu County, it had already been several days.
Not long after Xu Ying returned home, Xu Shengcai came back holding a stack of books.
Seeing Xu Ying, he expressed surprise, "Little sister, you’re back? Is the foreign trade fair over?"
"It’s over, Second Brother, you seem well-prepared," Xu Ying joked as she looked at the books he was holding.
Second Brother Xu scratched his head, "With the restoration of the college entrance exam, there will definitely be many participants. I thought it’d be better to prepare more so everyone could study together."
Mrs. Xu became annoyed when this topic was mentioned, her expression turning grim, "You can’t let those ingrates at the Youth Corps see them."
Filled with curiosity, Second Brother Xu looked towards his little sister. What had happened?
Xu Ying recounted the events of her return, and Second Brother Xu immediately bristled with anger, "That bastard Zhao Jiazong, I’m going to beat him up for bullying our parents."
Mrs. Xu held back her son, "Forget it, your little sister already fractured his hand. If you go now, what if he sues you?"
Since she started working, Mrs. Xu had learned a bit of legal knowledge and dared not act as recklessly as before.
Second Brother Xu was no longer surprised at his younger sister’s skills, surely she had learned them from that boy Huo Chen, and he exclaimed curiously, "Little sister, what are you always doing with Huo Chen,
just learning some fighting stuff?"
Mr. Xu immediately understood, of course, his son-in-law was skilled; no wonder his daughter suddenly knew martial arts.
Xu Ying chuckled dryly, "I’m always traveling for work, and he’s worried about me, so he taught me some self-defense skills."
Hearing this, Second Brother Xu nodded, it turned out the boy was quite attentive.
Xu Ying’s exam materials were greatly tempting for everyone.
The next morning, many people gathered at the Xu Family’s doorstep, and with the prior experience at Youth Corps, the people of Xujia Village were much more polite.
They all lined up at the doorstep of the Xu Family.
When Mrs. Xu opened the door in the morning and saw so many people, she was startled, but upon realizing they were all children from the village, she was relieved, "What are you all doing here? Have you eaten yet? Just running to my house."
The thick-skinned leader of the boys looked at Mrs. Xu and said directly, "Auntie, we’re here to see Xu Ying. Isn’t there some study material?"
Once Mrs. Xu understood the situation, she waved her hand, "Our family hasn’t had breakfast yet. Have you all eaten? If not, go back and eat first. Everyone will get to see the materials.
After you’ve eaten, just go straight to the wheat field, and my daughter and son will bring the materials there."
With Mrs. Xu’s words, the crowd dispersed.
Mrs. Xu went back to the courtyard and told Xu Ying about this.
After breakfast, Xu Ying took out the study materials she had purchased from the system.
They would learn however much they could.
"Second Brother, let’s go," Xu Ying called out to Second Brother Xu, who conscientiously took the books.
"Eldest Sister-in-law, do you want to join us?"
"Ah?" Eldest Sister-in-law Xu was stunned and then, feeling a bit embarrassed, waved her hand dismissively, "I’d better not. I’m already a grown woman, married with children. Can I still study?"
Eldest Sister-in-law Xu’s words were not an absolute refusal; she was also considering her age and her children.
Xu Ying smiled encouragingly, "There’s no age limit set by the state, which means anyone who believes they have the talent and ability can take the exam.
Eldest Sister-in-law, don’t be afraid. There might even be teachers in their fifties or sixties taking the exam."
Second Brother Xu added with a smile, "Eldest Sister-in-law, what little sister said is true. Several older teachers at our school are preparing to take the exam this time.
You are still young, there’s nothing to be afraid of."
The college entrance examination was a moment when these intellectuals could prove themselves, and Eldest Sister-in-law Xu, a good student before, couldn’t help but be moved.
Mrs. Xu waved her hand, "If you want to go, just go."
Eldest Sister-in-law Xu turned to look at her husband.
For Xu, there was no chance, as he was the least educated in the family, having stopped after elementary school.
It was certain he wouldn’t pass the college entrance exam, so it wasn’t considered to have him study for and attempt it.
"Go ahead, I support you. I’ll take care of the children," Xu encouraged his wife.
Xu Ying took Eldest Sister-in-law Xu’s arm, "Let’s go, what are you waiting for?
It’s rare in life to encounter such an opportunity, you must seize it well."
