Chapter 86 500 Yuan

May 25th is the last day to fill out the application form.

In the small warehouse of Erliangdian, Li Dayong and others filled out their application forms with solemn expressions.

Li Ye said: "I'll ask you one last time, are you all sure?"

Hu Man and Jiang Xiaoyan nodded affirmatively, while Han Xia said carelessly: "Don't worry, we promise not to blame you, Li Ye, if you fail the exam."

"What you said is not right," Yan Jinbu said sullenly, "Whether we pass the exam or not, we should thank Li Ye."

"Okay, okay, okay, you're just a talker, but you can't say more than three sentences all day. I should have known not to report with you."

Han Xia said something to Yan Jinbu with disdain and rolled her eyes at him.

For this application, Li Ye's original intention was to let them apply separately, but the small group of eight people split into four groups in order to "build up courage".

Han Xia and Yan Jinbu applied to Beijing Institute of Chemical Technology, Fu Yingjie and Li Dayong applied to Beijing Institute of Technology, while Hu Man and Jiang Xiaoyan both applied to Beijing Aeronautical University.

To be honest, these people's ambitions are higher than Li Ye expected.

Capital Industrial College was later called Capital Polytechnic, and Capital Aeronautical University was later called Capital Aeronautics and Astronautics!

This is definitely a key university with double first-class status.

To be honest, it was a bit of an adventure.

But now that things have come to this, Li Ye will not try to persuade him any further. He has said everything that needs to be said before, and there is no point in saying more now.

A small group of eight people submitted their application forms just before the deadline.

Then, it was publicized in the county’s No. 2 Middle School.

"Li Ye actually applied to Beijing University? Is he crazy?"

"Kyoto University's Department of Economics actually has this major in World Economics. What does this major teach?"

The popular majors in 1982 were basic subjects such as literature, philosophy, history, physics, and chemistry. Economics was a new thing and ordinary people didn't know what it was.

When choosing a school, Li Ye considered the Computer Science Department of Tsinghua University, but the management of Tsinghua University is very strict these days. You might even have to line up and walk in step to eat in the cafeteria!

This would definitely be a hindrance to Li Ye, who was planning to go to school, make money, and date Xiaoyu at the same time.

In addition, Wen Leyu liked Peking University, so Li Ye and Wen Leyu chose Peking University, which had relatively more freedom.

Why study economics?

Well, when the big capitalists are showing off, they still need some professional knowledge.

Li Ye will surely have many "divine prophecies" in the future, and economics can perfectly explain all the doubts of others.

[Based on my many years of experience in studying economics, a big thing is about to happen in this world. Will you join me in making money? ]

Economic crisis, financial tsunami, regional wars are all closely related to the economy, believe it or not!

Moreover, Peking University produces many talented people every year, and many of them go directly into the core departments. If you can get one, you will gain something.

"I guess he wants to go to BJ with Wen Leyu. You see, Wen Leyu applied to the English Department of Peking University."

Some people saw Wen Leyu's aspirations and felt a little jealous. You ignored Wen Leyu before, but now you can't afford her!

Li Ye and others did not stay at the school. They left after submitting their applications.

But what they didn't know was that it was only after they left that Xia Yue wrote the name of Beijing University of Foreign Languages ​​on her application form.

She finally made up her mind not to step on the brakes.

. . . . . . .

For the high school students born in 1982, once they filled out their applications, nothing could be changed and they could only work hard and move forward.

Li Ye increased the review intensity of the small group of eight people and began to bring in his own ideas.

He was not particularly clear about the content of the college entrance examination in 1982, but he still knew some very interesting contents.

For example, Ma Ali only scored 1 point in mathematics in the first round, and.

After entering June, the weather gradually became hotter. Li Ye asked Hao Jian to find a way to buy two fans, which made Hu Man and others feel comfortable.

Having a fan in 1982 was much more luxurious than having an air-conditioned room forty years later. Not to mention how much money was spent on the fan, many people nowadays are still worried about the electricity bill when turning on lights at night!

Spending a summer with a palm-leaf fan is the most normal way of life.

With the support of various favorable conditions, the learning progress of the small group of eight people was very smooth, and Li Ye's political shortcomings were also slowly being made up.

However, in mid-June, Li Ye discovered that something was wrong with Yan Jinbu, and he was distracted for several days in a row.

Is the pressure on them too great?

Li Ye was a little worried. Now the small group of eight people had to study for more than 14 hours a day, and even Li Ye felt tired.

“Is progress too tiring?”

"Oh, no, it's okay. I'm not tired."

Li Ye was sensitive enough to notice something unusual, and Yan Jinbu's eyes were obviously evasive.

Li Ye said seriously: "If you have something to say, just speak up. Don't keep it in your heart, especially when it comes to our college entrance examination."

“.”

Hu Man and others understood what Li Ye meant, and they all looked up in surprise and looked at Yan Jinbu.

The things related to the college entrance examination are just the exercises that everyone does every day, right? Did someone use connections to get to Yan Jinbu?

Sweat was already breaking out on Yan Jinbu's forehead.

He was usually not good at speaking, and suddenly he was stared at by so many people that he started to stutter.

"No, no one asked me to replace him."

Yan Jinbu stuttered for a long time before he could speak clearly.

It turned out that a few days ago, someone found Yan Jinbu's home and offered 500 yuan to ask Yan Jinbu to give up his own exam and take the test for someone else.

Hu Man and others looked at Yan Jinbu in shock.

Han Xia first questioned: "So you agreed? You sold your future for 500 yuan?"

"No, no," Yan Jinbu shook his head quickly and said, "I told them that I guessed the questions correctly in the pre-test and only got 406. Normally, I would score around 340. I turned it down, I turned it down."

Han Xia immediately said angrily: "Then why are you absent-minded? I noticed that you were not well these past few days, and I thought you were tired!"

Yan Jinbu lowered his head and whispered, "Sometimes I wonder if I could repeat my studies for another year if I had 500 yuan."

Li Ye looked at Yan Jinbu, who was worried about the outcome, and could guess how others had persuaded him at that time.

"The cost of repeating a year is more than 100 yuan, 500 yuan, which is equivalent to using salary to repeat a year.

If you repeat one more year and get a better grade next year, you can go to a better university."

In fact, what made Yan Jinbu anxious was not necessarily the 500 yuan, but the volunteer applications of Li Ye, Wen Leyu and others.

The Beijing Institute of Chemical Technology, which Yan Jinbu applied to, is also a very good undergraduate institution, but it is naturally weaker than Peking University, Tsinghua University and Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics.

The taciturn Yan Jinbu is actually very hardworking and strong-willed. I guess for a moment, he was also moved.

Li Ye patted Yan Jinbu on the shoulder and asked, "You missed 500 yuan! Why didn't you agree to it at that time?"

Yan Jinbu laughed and shook his head: "I figured it out later. If you all pass the exam, I will be the only one left. I don't know if I can hold on. So I just think about it, just think about it."

Li Ye nodded, his face darkened, and he said sternly: "It's a good thing you didn't agree. If you had agreed and someone found out on the spot, you would never be able to go to college in your life."

“.”

"No, no, they are from Lin County."

Yan Jinbu was sweating profusely from shame and hurriedly explained and defended himself.

Li Ye still insisted: "Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be prepared for one. Nothing is foolproof. If you are willing to bet your future, just go ahead."

Yan Jinbu said anxiously: "I really refused, you believe me."

Han Xia quickly intervened, "We believe in you. Just study hard and take the exams well. Don't think about those trivial things all day long."

"Yeah, I'm studying hard!"

Yan Jinbu kept nodding his head, and the honest child was almost holding back his tears.

Han Xia looked at Yan Jinbu and jokingly said, "Hey, why didn't anyone give me 500 yuan? I'm not thinking about that. I just want to see the 500 yuan and feel happy."

Li Ye smiled and didn't say anything directly.

Because in 1982, most families would not spend 500 yuan on a girl.

An ordinary girl is not worth this price.

"Okay, let me say something real!"

Li Ye clapped his hands and said to everyone in a serious tone: "In the past, we only focused on study and school, but did not discuss your future prospects.

Let me tell you now, there will be a huge gap between this year’s college students and next year’s college students.”

"For example," Li Ye wrote the numbers 77 and 78 on the small blackboard.

"After graduation, if the undergraduates of 1977 and 1978 were lucky, they could be assigned to the fifth national academy, but for our class, we can probably only be assigned to the provincial and ministerial level at best. It will be even more difficult next year."

“.”

Hu Man and the others looked at each other, all of them doubtful, excited, and regretful.

I was excited that they would have the opportunity to work in the province after graduation, but I was sad that I took the exam so late and lost the job at the Fifth National Academy.

At this time, Wen Leyu affirmed at the right time: "Li Ye is right."

“.”

Everyone was surprised, and then overjoyed.

During the whole dinner, several students were chattering non-stop, as if they could fly to the province to work tomorrow.

Only Jiang Xiaoyan seemed to be thinking about something.

At night, Jiang Xiaoyan suddenly grabbed Hu Man's arm and begged, "Hu Man, come with me to Old Huai's place!"

"What? It's so late. Okay!"

The two girls sneaked in the dark and came under the old locust tree in the north of Qingshui County.

Jiang Xiaoyan clasped her hands together and prayed devoutly in a low voice.

"Grandpa Huai, please protect me and don't let anyone find my house. Don't let my grandfather hear about the five hundred dollars. Please."

Hu Man: “.”
