Chapter 312 The Insightful Lu Mingnan

In October, the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination finally came down, and the whole country was in an uproar.

The 77 National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao), which concerns the fate of the nation and countless young people, will forever be recorded in history.

That year's college entrance exam was very simple, so simple that Lu Yuanqing felt he could have gotten into university if he took it.

Because their questions were very simple.

I heard that this year's Chinese language score was perfect, but the composition alone accounted for 60 or 70 points.

But this year was also the most difficult college entrance examination.

The difficulty lies in the short time allotted for review.

There were less than two months between the confirmation of the resumption of the college entrance examination and the official examination date.

The difficulty lies in the fact that many, many, many people have been neglecting their studies for a very long time.

Especially the first batch of "Old Three Classes" who went to the countryside, they wasted a full ten years of their lives.

Even very simple questions are difficult for them.

More than five million people took the exam, but fewer than three hundred thousand were admitted.

Even knowing the many reasons behind this ratio, Lu Yuanqing couldn't help but sigh.

The thirst for knowledge among people of this era is unimaginable to later generations.

Like now, Mingming has no contact with the educated youth; they can be said to be people who don't even speak to each other when they meet.

However, after learning that Lu Yuanqing's family had review materials, they still disregarded the usual haughty attitude of the educated youth and went to Lu's house to borrow the review materials.

Lu Yuanqing lent a set of the "Self-Study Series on Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry" that he had collected over the years to the educated youth, and received countless words of gratitude. He waved goodbye to them.

They were all people trying to change their fate, so he wouldn't have too many prejudices against them.

This set of books has not been republished, and the number available in Yu'an City is too small.

Subsequently, when the educated youth from other production brigades heard that Lu Yuanqing had review materials, they all came to ask him to borrow them.

Lu Yuanqing sighed helplessly.

Apart from keeping two sets for himself, he lent out all the others.

As for their own two apartments, Lu Mingdong and Cheng Xia share one of them.

And another set.

Ha ha!

Every time the topic comes up, Lu Yuanqing can't help but sneer.

She was given to Liu Ling by her own nephew, who was siding with outsiders.

"hehe!!!"

Lu Yuanqing now not only sneers when he mentions review materials, but he also sneers when he sees Lu Mingnan.

Lu Mingnan blinked, peeled a banana ingratiatingly, and handed it to Lu Yuanqing.

"Third Uncle, have a banana! Here, I'll peel it and feed it to you!"

Startled, Lu Yuanqing snatched the banana from his hand. "Forget it, I can't enjoy this blessing. I'll do it myself."

He has no idea what he will lose after eating the banana that Lu Mingnan fed him.

"Hehe!" Lu Mingnan scratched his head and chuckled foolishly.

Lu Yuanqing rolled his eyes speechlessly, "I gave them a whole set of books, but I couldn't even get them to come over for dinner. It was all for nothing."

In the past, we would take books from him one by one, read one, and then come back to exchange for another.

Now look what happened, the whole set has been moved away.

Lu Yuanqing didn't even know how he felt when he saw Lu Mingnan's actions.

Is this the difference between liking and disliking?

Once you fall in love with someone, you can't wait to give them everything.

However, since he had already given it away, as the third uncle, he wouldn't be reluctant to part with a set of review materials.

But after you send it, you should at least give him some hope!

Ok!

Even after I gave him the book, he still acted like it was none of his business.

Lu Yuanqing wanted to shake Lu Mingnan's shoulders and ask him what he was after.

Lu Mingnan certainly had his own agenda; he wasn't entirely without one.

"I just hope that Liu Zhiqing can study hard, get into university, and leave this remote mountain village."

Lu Yuanqing rolled her eyes at him, "Well, you're quite selfless."

Lu Mingnan smiled and said, "Third Uncle, I suddenly realize that what you said before made a lot of sense."

"What are you saying? I have a lot to say."

“It’s you who told my aunt and the others to study hard and leave this place.” Lu Mingnan said, “I didn’t really agree with it before. Why? Why do they have to leave this place? This place is great! This is our hometown. Why do you want my aunt and sister to leave this place, Uncle?”

"You don't think so now?" Lu Yuanqing raised an eyebrow.

Lu Mingnan smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, I don't think so anymore."

"You only just realized that now?" Lu Yuanqing looked at him with a hint of disdain.

Lu Mingnan said aggrievedly, "I know I'm not as smart as my older brothers and sisters, and my third uncle even complains that I'm stupid."

Lu Yuanqing: "...Uh, I don't mean it, I'm just used to saying it that way."

"Hmph!" Lu Mingnan hummed twice without taking it seriously. He naturally knew that Lu Yuanqing wouldn't look down on him.

"Actually, it's not my fault!"

"Then whose fault is it?" Lu Yuanqing asked, puzzled. "Is it my fault?!"

"Yes!" Lu Mingnan nodded seriously.

Lu Yuanqing was speechless. He actually nodded!

"Why is it my fault?"

Lu Mingnan said, "It's because you're so amazing that you've made our Shihua Village better than many other places. So, with such a wonderful hometown, how could I possibly think other places are better?"

Lu Yuanqing nodded, resting his chin on his hand, and said, "Now that you mention it, I really do think I'm pretty amazing."

Lu Mingnan rolled his eyes speechlessly.

Anyone who said that would make Uncle San feel incredibly proud!

My third uncle is impressive, but his narcissism is also impressive.

"Anyway, I think Shihua Village is great, so why would I want to leave?"

"But now I understand that not every village is like Shihua Village, and not every village has a Lu Yuanqing. Many villages are backward not only in terms of living conditions, but also in many ways of thinking."

"Third Uncle, it's a very smart thing to want your aunt and sister to go to a higher, farther, and more inclusive place."

Lu Mingnan lowered his head and said softly, "To like someone is not to confine her to a backward place, but to watch her spread her wings and fly high, enjoying a wider sky."

“I admit that I don’t know when it happened, but I fell in love with Liu Zhiqing. So, I can’t keep her in our small town just because I like her. She should be like her aunt and sister, experiencing more wonderful lives and meeting better and better people.”

How Lu Yuanhuan and Lu Mingxi were living was something that outsiders and family members could clearly see with their own eyes.

Lu Mingnan sometimes wondered what their lives would have been like if Lu Yuanqing hadn't supported and encouraged them to leave the village and move to the bigger city.

With my third uncle here, and with all my family members here.

Even if Lu Yuanhuan and Lu Mingxi get married, they will live a good life.

However, compared to their current glory and the life that everyone in the village envies, it is far inferior.

Even the most capable women in the village, within their families, simply end up doing more work.

The men in the village are not Gu Yushan or Wei Ye; their conditions are inferior, and their care for their partners is even less.

Therefore, without comparison, there is no harm.

So how could he bear to let the girl he liked stay here instead of pursuing a better life?

Lu Mingnan's heartfelt words greatly pleased Lu Yuanqing.

He stroked his chin and said with some emotion, "Xiao Nan, this is the most cultured thing I've ever heard you say. It's rare!"

Lu Mingnan's face immediately darkened, "Third Uncle..."

Lu Yuanqing: "...Hahaha!!!"
