Rebirth of Minister Qi

Chapter 994: Inspecting the College Entrance Examination

Hua Zai shook his head.

"No wonder. Although this year has been hard, I have gained a lot."

Qi Tongwei could see that the child was a little insincere, because many of their classmates were admitted in advance, and the ones who actually took the college entrance examination were those who were not so good at studying.

Of course Huazai had complaints. Why wasn't he admitted earlier so that he wouldn't have to go through such a difficult senior year of high school? However, as the son of an official, he was also very clear about what was politically correct.

“Whether you are being disingenuous or not, I want you to go through this experience.

Maybe it was my selfish request, which was also the reason why you told me shamelessly that you wanted to become a civil servant after graduation.

If you don’t want to take the exam, then I will be like before, I won’t have any high expectations on you, you can choose the career you like like an ordinary child. ”

“But if you choose this path, it’s your own choice.

Have you ever heard your aunt talk about my experiences when I was young? Every year during the holidays, you would go to Lincheng, Jingzhou, and return to Dongou.

You must have heard it, but you've never heard it from my own mouth."

Huazai nodded. He had heard his aunt say that their living conditions were very poor when they were young and that their family could not even get enough food. However, he did not feel that was true because after he was born, his hometown, Qijiazhuang in Lincheng, had become a well-known wealthy village in the vicinity. The industries that Qi Tongwei arranged for Qijiazhuang had already developed rapidly and every household had benefited from it.

At that time, Qi Tongwei had already become the district chief, and Hua Zai had never been lacking in his life.

"Let's start with the pair of sneakers on your feet that cost thousands of dollars. From the time I was born until I went to college, I had never worn sneakers, or a new pair of shoes without holes or patches.

In my memory, the days when I can have a good meal are all memorable, because every year there are only those times when we worship our ancestors or celebrate the New Year and other festivals.

Of course, you can't eat too much most of the time.

Teenagers have bigger appetites than adults. If I eat too much at that time, the rest of the family will not have enough food.

From the age of seven or eight, I had to go to the fields to help with farm work with your grandparents. Because I was weak, I could only do things within my ability.

When I grew up a little, I cut grass for pigs and fed the pigs in the pigsty next to my house.

As a result, when you were ten years old, your aunt was born. Your grandmother was a strong laborer at the time, so she went to work before she even gave her a full month of confinement.

I can only do some simple work and then go home to help take care of your aunt.

Your aunt is so afraid of me because I have been raising her since she was a child. If she disobeys, I am the only one in the family who will beat her.

If my grades were the same as yours, I would have been just average in the class and would have dropped out of school long ago.

Because the students' academic performance was always outstanding, the principal and teachers went to the township to apply for subsidies, and the village secretary and team leader asked every household to help donate money.

Finally I had the opportunity to continue my studies and was admitted to Handong University of Political Science and Law.

It was with the help of the secretary and the team leader that the whole village donated 682 yuan and 35 steamed buns, and I was able to collect the tuition and travel expenses and set off to Jingzhou to go to school.

Why are you crying? Suffering is also a wealth in life, not a source of inferiority.

At that time, I brought a copy of How the Steel Was Tempered. Reading the words inside gave me solid confidence.

I won’t say much about what it’s like to go to college. Didn’t you go to Handong University of Political Science and Law last time?

Below the celebrity photos is my experience, which is the journey of an ordinary rural child to go to school.

You still remember Grandpa Gao Yuliang? I haven’t seen him for a few years. He was the leader of our college and also my teacher.

At that time, he helped me apply for a scholarship and let me join the student union. In fact, I just wanted to join the student union because there were work-study places and subsidies every week. "

Andy sat on the chair and lowered his head to look at his sneakers, thinking that he seemed to have never been troubled by life. He could always buy what he wanted. As for the price, he never considered it.

"Later, I experienced the biggest injustice in my life. When I graduated from graduate school, I was assigned to a judicial office in a mountainous area as an assistant judicial officer.

At that time, I felt it was so unfair. I had been the president of the student union and had top grades. Logically, I should have been assigned to a large unit in Beijing or Jingzhou.

As a result, he went to the grassroots level. Do you know why?

Just because I offended my counselor, he or she could decide where I would go after graduation.

This was my first understanding of power, that a small privilege could determine a student's fate.

You should know what happened next. I applied to join the Narcotics Squad of Lincheng Public Security Bureau. It was the most dangerous department at that time and no one went there, so I got a big bargain.

But now this experience has become my precious treasure. When you were a child, didn’t you always ask your father what the scars on his body were?

That's when I stayed there, and later I moved up step by step.

There is one idea that has never changed for me: I don't like privilege.

Now that your father is a senior official, you can feel the many privileges even if you don’t say it.

The teachers and the principal always look at you differently and have tried several times to put you, a student whose grades don’t meet the standards, on the list of recommended students.”

Having said that, Andy finally understood his father's intention.

"This senior year of high school is my special lesson for you.

Whether you are admitted or not should be determined by your grades, not because of who your father is.

If your grades were good enough, I wouldn't care, but you're just a little bit short of that.

If you really enter the system in the future, you will be able to clearly feel the existence of privilege, and you will receive more attention than children from ordinary families.

Even if you make a mistake, there will be someone to help you. Even if you say you don’t want any privileges, you will get the fairest treatment because of my existence. No one dares to decide your fate casually.

Something like what happened to me, like my previous counselor sent me to exile, will never happen to you.

In fact, being treated fairly is a privilege. Farmers’ children have no confidence that they will be treated fairly. They have to be vigilant about their own interests at all times.”

Qi Tongwei finished drinking the Kuoluo, threw it into the trash can, and let out a long burp.

"But don't worry about it, on the contrary you can get more chips and cards.

But you must never take these privileges and think that you deserve them.

Remember, our current life is given by the folks in Qijiazhuang and all the people.

If you want to be an official, you must learn to stand among the masses, because we come from the masses.

All the wages, benefits and privileges we enjoy are given by the people. They are our bosses.

If all you think about is yourself, you'd better not join the system.

Now you have a choice, it’s up to you.”
