Wang Zhenguo was smoking the cigarettes his niece brought him and understood what she meant.
She was saying that whether male or female, educated youths might abandon their partners and children after returning to the city or getting into college, because they cannot bring them back to the city. Just like how people in cities hardly marry those from the countryside because it's difficult for country folks to get urban residency. Moreover, some educated youths want to escape everything related to the countryside and seek a future, so this attitude of preventing female educated youths from studying for fear of them leaving is not acceptable. Forcing them to stay will bring countless problems later, and we need to prepare them mentally.
Strangely enough, there are many families that prevent the wives of educated youths from studying, but almost none that stop the husbands from studying.
