October 21st.

"The college entrance examination has been resumed."

"Comrades, the country must restore the college entrance examination."

"Did you listen to the radio? The college entrance examination needs to be reinstated."

“Is it true?!”

"It's true, it's true."

"Great! The college entrance examination is finally going to be resumed."

"Where's the news?! How did you know?!"

"On the 8 o'clock morning radio broadcast, they announced that they had decided to resume the college entrance examination."

"The college entrance exam has been suspended for ten years, and it's finally going to be resumed."

"The college entrance examination has been resumed, so can we participate?!"

"Yeah, but we're freshly graduated high school students. Is there any regulation on what kind of people can take the college entrance exam?!"

"Yes, yes, I did."

"Really?! Tell me, can educated youth like us participate?!"

"Can people like you who are working take the college entrance examination?!"

"I'm done. I just graduated from junior high school."

"The radio said, workers and farmers, educated youth who went to the countryside and returned to the city, demobilized soldiers, cadres and recent high school graduates."

"Does that mean everyone can take the college entrance exam?!"

"Not much."

"No, there are no high school textbooks."

"Yes, okay. I need to find a high-level textbook."

"놖껩Go."

"No, I have to ask my relatives when I sell them all."

"Luckily, my younger brother and sister are in high school, so I can ask them for it right away."

"I'm sending a telegram home now, asking them to help me find high school textbooks and review materials."

"Yes, yes, there are also review materials."

…

The news of the resumption of the college entrance examination was broadcast across the country, causing a huge stir and affecting the fate of almost all people.

Immediately, those who got the news ran to look for their high school textbooks or review materials.

Whether in the city, county, or commune, in any of the major production teams, anyone who met the requirements was eager to find high school textbooks and review materials.

When the educated youth in the Baigou Village production team heard the broadcast and heard the great news, they were so shocked that they were speechless.

Then, a sobbing voice was heard, and I didn't know who was crying suddenly.

The crying seemed to turn on some kind of switch. The female educated youth had to hold back their tears and the male educated youth had to hold back their red eyes.

So many people can only take the college entrance examination. They are forced to go to the countryside, facing the loess and back to the grass, with enough food and good housing, and they can see no hope at all.

If it were not later, when the production team established a primary school, night school, and training classes, they would not have seen a way out or hope at all.

Moreover, for the past three months, they had been constantly pressured to study by the team leader. All educated youth and youth from the production team were required to study from 6:30 pm to 10 pm, and absences were not allowed except for illness. In addition, they had to take exams every week.

If you pass the exam, you have to take the test again, and the captain will let you go only if you get a score of 70 or above.

Over the past three months, everyone has been living in dire straits. They feel that studying is too hard and is even worse than farming.

However, now, after the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination came out, everyone suddenly realized that the study in the past three months was very effective and what the team leader did was right.

"Thank you, Captain."

"Yes, thank you, Captain, and thank you, Team Dai."

"If the captain insists, he can keep going for half a month."

"Yes, I only now realize that the captain is doing this for our own good."

"But the captain has been studying with us for three months, and now we score over 80 on every exam."

"Okay, I'm going to read a book now."

"놖껩 is going to continue reviewing."

"Go find the captain first, go find the captain quickly."

"That's right, let's go find the captain and see what he has to say."

"Luckily, our autumn harvest is almost over. Otherwise, how would we have time to review?"

"Yes, yes, yes, ah, fortunately during the autumn harvest, the team leader still insisted that we study for an hour every day."

"The captain is such a good man."

…

The educated youth excitedly dropped the farm tools in their hands and ran to the brigade headquarters.

At the production team headquarters, Bai Lianshan couldn't stop swallowing his saliva after hearing the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination on the radio early in the morning.

Oh my god, what did he hear? !

The college entrance examination has really been restored! The country has really restored the college entrance examination!

At the beginning, when Qiao Jiuru and the others left, they had hinted to him obscurely, but he insisted on driving the educated youth and young people in the production team to study with the attitude of believing it rather than not believing it.

Unexpectedly, this day actually came.

When he received the letters from Qiao Jiuru and Su Huaiyuan in early September, he had been thinking that the country would take action only after the Great Depression. But he never expected that just over a month later, the college entrance examination would actually be resumed.

If the Gaokao were reinstated, how many people's lives would be changed?! How many people would have to take the Gaokao?

"Captain, Captain, the college entrance examination must be resumed."

"Captain, is the college entrance examination resumed?!"

"Captain, do we still need to continue reviewing tonight?!"

"Captain, can we take a leave to go back to work?!"

"Yes, Captain, we would like to take some time off to study hard."

"You still have a lot of meetings to attend, and Captain 놖껩 needs to take a leave."

…

The educated youths gathered around Bai Lianshan, shouting excitedly one after another. They had no intention of going to work at all.

Except for the educated youth from the production team, even the young people from the production team ran over from the fields. Although they were not as bold as the educated youth, they stared at Bai Lianshan with burning eyes.

When Bai Lianshan heard that these people wanted to take time off to review, he suddenly thought, "The autumn harvest is still more than ten days away. Can they wait a little longer?"

Back then, they were still convinced when we pressured them to study. Why didn't they do that earlier?! Now they're clamoring for them to study?!

"It's possible to take a leave, but you can leave work two hours early this afternoon to go to the elementary school to review. The books and materials will be brought there for you."

"It's more than ten days until the end of the autumn harvest. How about this? I understand how you feel. For the next seven days, you should leave work two hours early to go to the elementary school to review. You can then work the rest of the time and review in the afternoon."

"At a time like this, why are you anxious? Think carefully: What haven't you reviewed well? What haven't you learned yet? What do you need to memorize? Spend more time reviewing your weak points. Listen carefully to my instructions. In a few days, I'll go to the city to find Teacher Gao to highlight your key points."

"Okay, it's okay. Let's go."
