Red characters on white paper were posted outside the office on the bulletin board, a whole list of positions, more than forty, with no age or gender restrictions, just none of the names of Lu Family's children, nor Zhou Zhou from the educated youth.
"Eh, Dad, why are there no Tianzhi and Guan Yu? And Zhou Zhou?"
Wang Zhengguo glanced at his eldest son who had run in, "Ajiang has sent a telegram home, instructing not to let our own children participate in the competition for university positions designated for workers, peasants, and soldiers. The children were very obedient and thus withdrew voluntarily. Zhou Zhou is a smart kid; seeing the brothers Tianzhi withdrawing, she also followed suit. She expressed that she has been living very peacefully in our brigade, a serenity she had never experienced before, and does not want to compete with everyone for the university position, no matter what the final outcome is, conflicts will for sure arise before decisions are made."
