Chapter 88: You all got confused, right? Hahahaha

In the college entrance examination in 1982, there was only one subject, Chinese, in the morning. After the two and a half hour test, everyone felt that they had done well.

As for Chinese, even if I am a poor student, I still feel that I have done well.

If you can't remember clearly, you can guess; if you can't understand, you can make up something; anyway, you can fill it in roughly and get psychological comfort.

I don’t know whether the purpose of making Chinese the first subject every year is to help candidates build up their self-confidence so that they can adapt smoothly to the cruel college entrance examination environment.

After the small group of eight people came out, they all had happy expressions on their faces. They looked at each other and smiled in tacit understanding.

Is there anything better than guessing the essay topic?

So when they were queuing up to return to the No. 2 Middle School in the county, Hu Man and others came over and asked Li Ye questions.

"Li Ye, Li Ye, how did you guess the topic of this year's composition?"

"How can this be guessed?" Li Ye explained seriously: "This is inevitable after full preparation. We have practiced more than a dozen essay topics in total. The probability of a few percent is not lucky!"

"That's right, we learned so hard before!"

Everyone remembered the hard days some time ago. At that time, Li Ye's oppression was even more cruel than that of the teachers in school, which made people feel both painful and pleasurable.

As for the other members of the team, their eyes towards the small group of eight were not so friendly, and could almost be described as "full of malice."

[Why are you showing off? Didn’t you just guess the right essay question? ]

When they arrived at school, Li Ye said, "Okay, remember our agreement not to discuss anything related to the exam. Go back and rest and prepare for the chemistry class this afternoon."

Since the chemistry exam was at 2:30 pm, there was a four-hour break.

Li Ye was going home to eat, and the rest of the people went to the Second Grain Store to cook and eat, and then returned to the school dormitory for a nap.

This is a mandatory rule imposed by Wu Juying, otherwise Li Ye would definitely be stuck with Wen Leyu.

After the college entrance examination, she will return to Beijing with her mother. They will be separated for two or three months, and she doesn’t know how many times they will meet in her dreams.

When Li Ye was riding his bike home, he happened to see his aunt Li Mingyue coming out of the house. She passed him by with full of resentment without even saying hello.

Li Ye was puzzled for a moment, but after entering the house, Li Juan quietly told him that for the sake of his eldest grandson's college entrance examination, Wu Juying directly drove Li Mingyue away and did not allow her to quarrel with Li Ye.

"Grandma loves you so much."

When saying this, Li Juan's eyes were full of envy, and there were even some tears in her eyes.

Who among you can understand the bitterness in my heart as I am a money-loser who has been neglected by my grandma and grandmother since I was a child?

But fortunately, this stepbrother is better than my biological uncle, and he promised to give me the Phoenix car in a few days!

By then, I will wipe it three times a day until it is shiny.

Lunch was cold noodles with fried fish. The fried fish was grandma Wu Juying's specialty. The fish was first fried in oil and then stir-fried with vinegar and onions. It was sour and fragrant and went very well with rice.

After dinner, Li Ye went back to his room for a nap.

The two little girls, Li Juan and Li Ying, one was guarding the door, and the other was guarding the yard.

At this moment, let alone the annoying aunt coming back, even if a chicken approached the door, it would be ruthlessly driven away.

"No one can disturb your brother's sleep," these are the exact words of Grandma Wu Juying.

In the afternoon, grandma said directly to Li Juan: "Go, squat at the school gate. If anything happens, go and report to your grandfather immediately."

…

Li Ye felt good about the chemistry test in the afternoon. He couldn't get a perfect score of 100, but he could definitely get 97 or 98. After all, the question types were different from those in later generations, but it wasn't a big problem.

The other members of the eight-member group also felt good. The half-year test-taking strategy finally showed its power. In two hours, they could at least finish the test paper.

But it was not so easy for other candidates.

After coming out of the examination room, many students looked gloomy, asked other people questions, and looked depressed.

The most uncomfortable situation at this time is that you can't do it, but others can.

Of course, those who didn't finish the test papers didn't include Xia Yue and Jin Shengli.

After they received the "Chemistry" self-study series of books sent by Lu Jingyao, they worked very hard, and their close study group also gained a lot.

The eight-member group and Xia Yue and others all felt that this year's college entrance examination would be a smooth battle, and they would surely reap the fruits of victory in three days.

But everything changed during math class the next morning.

. . . . . . . . .

Yan Jinbu didn't sleep well last night.

Li Ye repeatedly emphasized to them that before the college entrance examination was over, they were not allowed to review the questions with others or check the answers.

Because the application is not after the exam, Yan Jinbu and others have already decided on their application. There is no point in estimating the scores now. It does not do any good except to make yourself feel upset.

But Yan Jinbu still couldn't help it.

When he was taking the chemistry exam, he was unsure about the answers to several questions. He couldn't help but ask someone to compare his answers with, and got a result that was neither good nor bad.

He did something wrong, but so did others.

This is very confusing, after all, the battlefield for the college entrance examination is the entire Dongshan Province, not Qingshui County or the County No. 2 Middle School.

So when Yan Jinbu entered the examination room the next day, he was not in a very good spirit.

When he walked to his seat, he happened to make eye contact with Xia Yue in the back row.

well?

Xia Yue didn't seem to sleep well either.

At eight o'clock sharp, the math test began.

The test papers were passed from the front row to the back. Before they reached Yan Jinbu, a candidate in front of him let out a slight exclamation.

"No one is allowed to talk, look around, or whisper to each other."

The stern voice of the invigilator suppressed the slight exclamation.

Yan Jinbu got his paper and was immediately confused after taking a look at it.

"how so?"

In the 1982 math test, there were no multiple-choice questions or true-or-false questions, only “big questions”.

These nine major questions constitute the entire college entrance examination paper of 1982.

This is simply a nightmare for poor students, isn’t it?

You don’t have any multiple-choice questions, so how can I choose?

There are no true or false questions, so how can I guess?

How can you be so cruel? You don't even give us a 50% chance?

Yan Jinbu looked at the dizzying test paper in front of him, as if he could sense the full malice of the teachers who set the questions.

"Poor students, be afraid! Give the opportunity to those who are capable!"

Yan Jinbu is not a poor student, but he is not a top student either.

But after he carefully looked at the questions on the test paper twice, he suddenly felt that they looked so familiar.

. . . . . . . .

Xia Yue was also confused.

What are the exam questions this year?

The previous Chinese composition question was unexpected enough, so why is mathematics so “willful”?

You should know that the topic of the composition two years ago was to write a reading experience after reading "The Painted Egg", which was to interpret the spirit of Leonardo da Vinci's painting of the egg.

Last year's essay topic was to write a review based on the book "It's easy to destroy trees, but hard to plant them".

Going back two years, it was also rewritten and abbreviated into a new composition based on a certain "New Era" article.

As a result, this year's composition question turned out to be "worry about the world before you worry about yourself, and be happy after the world is happy".

Is this something you, a high school student, should care about?

Do you think you are a scholar-official?

Well! I am the successor of XXism, you are right!

No matter how unexpected it is, Chinese is my mother tongue after all. Writing articles based on famous quotes is also a test of each candidate's basic skills. If you can't even learn Chinese well...

But what's going on with your math?

Nine big questions, a set of functions, three geometry questions, a parabola, and a sequence. Are you trying to make it difficult for us?

In just a few minutes, Xia Yue's palms were covered in sweat and she could hardly hold the pen.

But the test paper has been handed out, so no matter how difficult it is, we have to face it head-on.

"I can't do it, and no one else can do it either!"

Xia Yue secretly encouraged herself in her heart, gathered her energy, and started to calculate the first set of function problems.

As a result, she had only calculated the fifth of the six functions to fill in when she heard the sound of flipping the paper.

She looked up and found that it was Yan Jinbu in the front row who had already reached the second page.

"He can't do it, so the question is left blank, right?"

As a recognized top student in the repeater class, Xia Yue once ranked first in mathematics in the school for half a year until she was surpassed by Jiang Xiaoyan.

Now that I see Yan Jinbu has reached the second page faster than me, I definitely don’t want to “hope for him to be well”.

But when Xia Yue got to the second page and was still guessing what curve to draw on the rectangular coordinate system based on the equation, the annoying sound of flipping the paper rang again.

Xia Yue saw that Yan Jinbu had completed the third part.

"How is this possible?"

Xia Yue took a look at the fourth question on the second page of the test paper. It was a geometry question about cones. He felt dizzy at the first sight. How did Yan Jinbu do it?

Xia Yue couldn't help but want to peek over.

"Girl in the fourth row at the back, this is your first warning. If you look at other people's papers again, I'll let you out."

Xia Yue quickly shrank back, her heart beating wildly.

"If he can do it, so can I."

Unconsciously, Xia Yue even changed the way she encouraged herself.

But Zhang Xuefeng once said a joke: "If you don't know XX, you can just write whatever you want! If you don't know XX, you can just copy the reading comprehension! If you don't know math, you can only write a 'solution'!"

If you want to solve a difficult math problem step by step, you must first find the loophole that someone has deliberately left for you, and then push your way into it and you will have smooth sailing.

But you just can't find the key point no matter how slow you try. No matter how strong your skills are, they will be useless!

"The last thirty minutes, candidates please pay attention to the time."

When there were still thirty minutes left before the end of the exam, Xia Yue was still staring at the four “solutions” on her paper in a daze.

She didn't figure out any of them, and she didn't push any of them in.

"Ring, ring, ring~"

As the examination room was collecting papers, there was a chorus of wailing. Dozens of examinees were almost all in mourning.

Except for Yan Jinbu.

Yan Jinbu looked around and immediately felt that "it is not advisable to stay here for long", so he packed up his stationery, stood up and left.

But Xia Yue caught up with him soon after.

"Yan Jinbu, Yan Jinbu, stop right there!"

Xia Yue grabbed Yan Jinbu and asked, "Why are you running?"

"I," Yan Jinbu said, "I'm in a hurry to get some soy sauce! We ran out of soy sauce for lunch."

"How can you run a grain and oil shop without soy sauce? Huh~huh~"

Xia Yue took a breath and asked Yan Jinbu: "Let me ask you, you have solved all the nine questions, right?"

“.”

Yan Jinbu did not answer. Li Ye had once told them not to communicate with others before the college entrance examination.

But he was an honest man. If Xia Yue asked him how many of the nine questions he had answered, he might have lied. But when asked if he had answered all of them, he was stunned.

“You really did it all.”

The shocked Xia Yue did not notice that as she and Yan Jinbu were arguing, many candidates gathered around them.
