"Xiaoying, I heard your Yuanchun came back home to earn work points. Oh, I must say, why on earth did you spend so much money putting an adopted daughter through all that schooling? Such a waste of money, and in the end, she still has to come back to the village and work the land for work points."
"Exactly! You and Yuanchun's father spent all that money just to produce a high school graduate who couldn't even go to college. Such a complete waste of money. The two of you must be regretting it bitterly by now."
"Right, and look at Qian Xiaosan—he even came down to our village as an educated youth, and he's a high school graduate too. What's the point of studying? No matter how much you study nowadays, you end up doing farm work in the end. Might as well not have gone to school at all."
