Due to the special circumstances in previous years, there was no threshold for the academic qualifications of candidates in this year's college entrance examination, which means that even people who have never been to school can sign up for the exam.

Under such circumstances, many people who had never been to school but could read and write signed up for the exam.

After all, we should always have dreams. What if we pass the exam?

Of course, these people are not stupid. They know that it is difficult to pass the exam just by knowing how to read, so they collect textbooks from elementary school to high school and study the contents.

There are more people collecting books, but not many textbooks, which leads to a situation where books are hard to come by in the county.

Hong Qi and the other two really couldn't get the textbooks, so they had to come to Liu Yunxiao, who had a strong background, for help.

Li Xu expressed his understanding of their approach.

You have to know that the educated youth who are still staying in the countryside have very ordinary family conditions, and their families really have no way to send them back.

This made them completely lose hope of returning to the city.

Now that the college entrance examination has been resumed, they think this may be their only chance to leave the countryside, so naturally they are unwilling to miss it.

Besides, getting into college can change your destiny, and everything will be very different from now on.

Faced with such an important matter, of course you have to do your best to increase your chances of passing. If you can't get the textbooks and don't use your connections, you would be a fool.

When Liu Yunxiao saw Hong Qi and the other man inside, he quickly stood up and went to greet them. He asked in astonishment, "Why are you two here?"

The two of them briefly explained the situation, and after listening, Liu Yunxiao immediately said, "No problem, wait here for a while, I'll get it for you when I get home."

After saying that, he borrowed a bicycle from the Li family and hurried back to his home.

When the Liu family started the study class, they prepared many sets of textbooks to prevent more people from joining the class, and they have not distributed them all until now.

In fact, the Li family also had several sets of extra textbooks, but Hong Qi and the other man were looking for Liu Yunxiao, so Li Xu and Li Chen didn't say anything.

As a friend of the two, Li Chen introduced them to each other's families.

After greeting, Hong Qi said apologetically, "Uncle Li, we didn't expect Brother Yunxiao to be at your house. We only prepared a gift and came empty-handed. I hope you won't be angry. I'll bring you a gift another day to apologize."

This was not only the first time for the couple to visit the Li family, but also the first time for them to visit the Liu family.

So even though they couldn't find Liu Yunxiao at the Liu family, they still left the gifts.

In order not to waste time, they had no choice but to go to Li's house.

Li Jiakang waved his hand with amusement, "Forget about the gifts. It's not easy for you in the countryside. You should keep the good things for yourself."

At this time, Li Chen interrupted, "The exam will start in just over a month. There's no need to waste your time on this kind of thing. Instead of traveling back and forth from the countryside, you might as well study for a while."

There was only a little over a month between the announcement of the resumption of the college entrance examination and the start of the examination.

Li Chen knew that Hong Qi and his wife had never been to school, and it would be extremely difficult for them to get into university. The only way to have a glimmer of hope was to race against time and study hard. If they just wasted time, there would be no hope at all.

That's why he gave some advice.

Hong Qi and Jiang Yan knew this, of course. Seeing that both of them said so, they just agreed and said that they would come to apologize after the exam.

Li Jiakang and the others stopped trying to persuade them. Li Chen then asked, "Are you two planning to major in liberal arts or science?"

This year's college entrance examination is divided into two subjects: liberal arts and science. In addition to the required subjects of politics, Chinese, and mathematics, the liberal arts subject will also take history and geography, and the science subject will also take physics and chemistry. Only those who apply for foreign language majors will have an additional foreign language test.

"Science." Hong Qi and the other man answered at the same time.

"Huh?" Li Chen was stunned. "Except for math, the liberal arts exam doesn't require any instruction; you can just study on your own. The science exams don't have any instructors for physics and chemistry, so it's hard to understand them on your own. Wouldn't it be best for you to enroll in the liberal arts program?"

The two exchanged glances, and Hong Qi sighed helplessly, "History and geography require rote memorization. We only have a little over a month, and we also have to memorize the contents of Chinese and Politics. There are so many knowledge points, we can't finish memorizing them even if we die of exhaustion.

Although some of the physics and chemistry content is difficult to understand by self-study alone, and there are some things that need to be memorized, there is not much to memorize. The key is to master the knowledge points. We have both agreed that after we get the textbooks, we will ask the team leader for leave. As long as we spend more time thinking about it, we will eventually master some of it.

We both thought there would be a lot of people who couldn't find tutors right now, and nine out of ten of them would choose the liberal arts. The competition for liberal arts would be much greater than for science. Since we were both average, it would be hard to compete with others in the liberal arts field. So, we decided to choose science. As long as we could master some basic physics and chemistry knowledge, our chances of getting into university would definitely be higher than with liberal arts.

Li Chen understood that they were gambling, betting that he could master the knowledge points of physics and chemistry through self-study.

But when I think about it carefully, I find that what they said does make sense.

If you don’t have an excellent memory, it is really difficult to remember the content of the liberal arts exam subjects in such a short time.

However, for most people, they have no choice but to apply for liberal arts.

There is no way. If there is no one to teach, it is difficult to understand the content of physics, chemistry and mathematics subjects by self-study.

In Tang County, as long as you have money, you can buy enough food even if you don't work for a year, let alone more than a month.

Hong Qi and the other two could take leave to concentrate on their studies, but the educated youth who went to the countryside from other regions did not dare to do so.

Unless you are absolutely sure that you can get into university, you should continue to do farm work honestly. Otherwise, if you take a leave and fail to get into university, you may starve to death next year.
