In the year 1977, Zhan Nanhui, a former Deputy Director of the National Security Bureau, was undercover as a “re-educated” criminal doing manual labor in the countryside. His mission was compro...
The next day, Yi Anan sent Zhan Nanhui to the examination room.
The examination room was set up in the town's high school. Although the small high school did not cover a large area, there were thousands of candidates standing outside the door.
Yi Anan clearly remembered the last college entrance examination, in which 570,000 people registered nationwide, 270,000 were admitted including junior colleges, and the admission rate was less than 5%. Therefore, among these thousands of people, less than 200 were admitted. These people were the darlings of the times, who could spread their wings and fly high.
In the past, Yi Anan didn't even have the chance to see this scene, and wasted her time in the Yan family.
Now looking at the candidates' faces, some of them nervous or relaxed, but all full of hope and expectation, Yi Anan suddenly felt very envious.
Now she has no worries about food and clothing, and perhaps if she has the opportunity in the future, she will also take the college entrance examination.
Zhan Nanhui glanced around, looking extremely alert.
The time was almost up and some candidates had already gone in. Zhan Nanhui turned around and wanted to say goodbye to Yi Anan, just in time to see the girl's envious eyes.
"I'm going in!" Zhan Nanhui said in a low voice.
Yi Anan nodded, but couldn't help but reach out and straighten his collar.
Zhan Nanhui lowered his eyes and looked at the woman's face as she looked up at him.
Yi Anan lowered her eyes, having concealed her emotions, and just whispered again, "Don't be nervous, do the questions you know first, and if you can't do it, others can't do it either."
At this moment, Zhan Nanhui suddenly felt that he was not the only one facing the storm of life. At least at this moment, this woman was standing on the same front with him.
"Don't worry, I will definitely pass the exam." Zhan Nanhui said.
Yi Anan nodded. She had no doubt about this. She had read Zhan Nanhui's notes. He had prepared these six subjects very well and his English level was also very high. There shouldn't be any problem.
Yi Anan tidied up Zhan Nanhui's clothes, then nodded with a smile and whispered, "Come in, I'll prepare dinner for you at home at noon!"
Zhan Nanhui nodded and queued up to go inside.
Lu Changfeng saw Yi Anan in the crowd at first glance.
Yi Anan was wearing a very ordinary grey cotton-padded jacket today. Standing in the bustling crowd, her stunning face was enough to suppress all the colors and sounds around her, like a sharp ray of light standing out from the dark background.
The girl stood in the crowd, looking up at the equally outstanding man in front of her. She held her head high, her black hair dancing softly in the winter wind, her crystal-like black eyes shining with the sun's luster, her delicate and slightly flexible figure completely stealing the show among the crowd...
Lu Changfeng forced himself to look away until Zhan Nanhui walked in front of him.
Lu Changfeng came today on behalf of the mayor to express his condolences to the candidates. He stood at the entrance, shook hands with every candidate who came in, and spoke words of encouragement.
When he held the calloused hand, he raised his eyes and met Zhan Nanhui's eyes.
Zhan Nanhui didn't say anything, as if he didn't recognize Lu Changfeng at all. His eyes were extremely cold and heartless, and there was an aura of "stay away from me" all over his body.
Lu Changfeng said calmly: "I wish you success in the imperial examination!"
Zhan Nanhui nodded lightly, turned and walked into the examination room.
Lu Changfeng looked at the tall and straight figure and for the first time wanted to take back his blessing.
Two days passed quickly. Yi Anan did not ask how Zhan Nanhui did in the exam. She just tried her best to do the logistics work and cooked for Zhan Nanhui in different ways.
On the morning of the 2nd, Zhan Nanhui still had to take an English test.
In 1977, English was an examination subject, and only those who applied for English-speaking or key colleges would take the additional test.
Because there was only one subject left, Yi Anan felt relieved. After sending Zhan Nanhui to the examination room, she went to the barber shop.
These few days she had no time to take care of the barber shop or Sister Wang's pickles. After Zhan Nanhui finished his exams, she had to hurry up and take care of her business. After all, her relationship with Zhan Nanhui would soon be over.
Just when Yi Anan was about to push open the door of the barber shop, a figure flashed by not far away. Yi Anan was stunned for a moment, and immediately felt that he was dazzled.
She had clearly sent Zhan Nanhui to the English examination room just now, so how come she thought that figure looked so much like Zhan Nanhui?
Yi Anan smiled helplessly. It seemed that she was worrying too much!
Yi Anan pushed open the door of the barber shop and went in.
At this moment, at the corner, Zhan Nanhui looked coldly at the man in his fifties in front of him.
"Xiao Zhan, I know I delayed your work. I'm really sorry. I was injured and had to rest for a while, but this time, I brought you good news."
"I want to take the English test!" Zhan Nanhui said in a deep voice.
"That's not important. The organization has already made other arrangements for you. The college entrance examination is just a formality. No matter how you perform, you will leave here according to the arrangements of your superiors." Xia Gong said, taking out a newspaper from his pocket and opening it.
Zhan Nanhui took a look and saw that it was the "Korean Daily". There was a row of names on it, many of whom were his father's old subordinates.
"Your father's matter should be resolved soon!" Xia Gong whispered, "So you will leave here soon."
Zhan Nanhui sneered. Old Xia said the same thing a year ago.
"It's different this time. It's really quick this time. I promise that you will leave within two months! But taking the college entrance examination this time is also a good reason to leave. But don't contact your country wife anymore." Xia Gong said in a deep voice.
Zhan Nanhui's eyes darkened.
"Don't worry, we will compensate her after you leave. In fact, there are many such things now. Not to mention your special identity, even those male educated youth will not come back after returning to the city. After all, you are a country girl and will not be of any help to your career." Xia Gong continued.
Zhan Nanhui's face was cold and expressionless. He whispered, "This is my private matter. I will arrange it myself."
"Comrade Zhan, this is not your private matter. Your identity is related to the plan. You should know it better than us." Xia Gong said in a low voice, "I will find you again eventually. Wait for my news."
Zhan Nanhui nodded, turned and left.
All morning long, the figure she saw in the morning would flash through Yi Anan's mind.
Looking at the clock on the wall, there were still a few minutes before Zhan Nanhui finished his English test, so Yi Anan immediately got up, put on his coat, and prepared to go out.
"An An, are you coming back today?" Sister Hua asked from behind, "I have an appointment with a teacher from the county normal school this afternoon. That teacher has very high requirements, and I want you to help me keep an eye on him."
teacher? Yi Anan thought about the fact that she had to go to night school to learn high school knowledge, and maybe this teacher could help her, so she quickly said, "I'll be back at two in the afternoon."
Only then did Sister Hua nod with satisfaction.
Yi Anan arrived at the test site and waited for a while before seeing Zhan Nanhui walking out.
