In October, all the newspapers, radio and radio stations in the country were promoting a shocking news.

The college entrance examination has been resumed, and the first one will be officially held in a month.

Young people across the country were excited almost at the same time, picking up their textbooks and throwing themselves into their studies, wanting to pursue their long-cherished dream of going to college.

The complete set of textbooks in He Xiaoyou's hands immediately became a hot commodity in the entire production team.

Those who had often secretly slandered him as a nerd and a pretentious person were now trying to please and complain to him, wanting to borrow his books.

Because the books he had were so complete, his junior high and high school textbooks were filled with notes.

At this time, He Xiaoyou had been working in the countryside for four years. The harsh environment and hard farming life had not dampened his fighting spirit.

After all, he had family support and didn't rely on work points to make a living. He could just earn three or four work points every day and go home. It was only when he was working with two guns that the workload became more demanding.

In 1974, because Zhao Meng always stole his dried meat and biscuits in the middle of the night, he was caught in the act one time and reported to the team leader.

With the other party's help, he rented an empty house in the village and moved in with Xu Shuo.

They would rather work harder to collect firewood than stay in the educated youth site and be inexplicably targeted.

Life is difficult enough, and if you have to endure mental torture all day long, you will go crazy sooner or later if you continue like this.

During this period, he did think about writing a letter to his family to compromise and ask them to arrange a job for him to return to the city.

But in the first two years, he refused to give in because of his self-esteem. Thinking of his lofty ambitions before going to the countryside, and then thinking of the ridicule of his brothers and sisters after returning home, he held his breath and persevered.

In the last two years, He Ruixue wrote to him, asking him to persevere for two years, do less farm work during this period, and just save face.

She told him not to give up studying, especially the "Self-study Series of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry" that she gave him, and to remember the knowledge points in it firmly.

Read the books till they are worn out, so that you won’t roll in the mud.

The letters for a whole six months were all hinting at this matter, which made him think a lot.

My aunt has always been capable and well-informed. Could she find him a good job that requires education, or send him to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University?

With some kind of expectation in mind, he was more motivated to study, and occasionally he would pull Xu Shuo to study together.

It's a pity that the other party only has strength but not brains. I have no interest in this. I would rather plant a few more acres of land than look at those crooked symbols, which gives me a headache.

He Xiaoyou no longer forced himself. He gave some of the things his aunt sent him as a gift to the team leader and found himself a job guarding farm tools.

In the last two years, he has been unable to put down his books. After all, there is really no fun in the countryside, and reading has become his subconscious habit.

When the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination officially reached the village, He Ruixue sincerely sighed that his aunt was really far-sighted.

No, this is a policy decided by the leaders in the first half of the year. Maybe my uncle-in-law was very good at predicting things and figured it out with just his fingers.

No matter what, it's a good deal for him.

The exam was held just one month after the notice came out, which obviously had an advantage over fresh graduates and those who had prepared well. But no matter what, the young people in the team all went to the county to sign up enthusiastically.

I'm not very sure, but the important thing is to participate.

If you are lucky enough to get admitted to university, it will be a great thing that will bring honor to your family.

After he came back, everyone looked at him with red eyes, and jealousy almost became tangible.

He Xiaoyou had to admire his aunt, who had probably anticipated this and prepared two sets of books for him.

He took out a relatively new set of study materials with few notes, saying that he was contributing it to the team so that everyone could copy a copy.

These people's jealousy immediately turned into gratitude, and they devoted themselves to studying.

After all, no matter how capable He Xiaoyou is, it has nothing to do with them. The knowledge learned in the brain is his own.

Zhao Meng kept on making sarcastic remarks, but He Xiaoyou didn't bother to pay attention and just opened up the knowledge that he had already memorized.

"Brother Shuo, sit down and read with me, maybe you can pass the exam."

Xu Shuo quickly waved his hands, "Xiaoyou, I'm different from you. I get dizzy when I see words. I barely managed to graduate from junior high school and couldn't even get into high school, let alone college.

I know myself well enough to know that I am not cut out for this job, so no matter how hard I try, it will be in vain."

"Brother Shuo, how do you know if it works if you haven't tried it?"

“Don’t try to persuade me. I’m just preparing for the exam with good intentions. The team leader said that those who sign up don’t have to work for a month.

I think you have the most hope among all of us educated youth. The others are just trying to avoid hard labor. You haven't read a single page of a book in the past few years, and you still want to get into university? You're just dreaming."

He Xiaoyou looked around and closed the doors and windows. "You can't say this outside."

"I understand that some people are petty, especially Zhao Meng. I don't think that guy has good intentions, and I'm afraid he's going to play some shady tricks.

Stay close to me for the next two days and let me do all the work. I can also help you keep an eye on him. Don't eat or drink anything he offers you. If you get an upset stomach, he might do it to you."

He Xiaoyou looked at him gratefully, "Thank you, Brother Shuo. I have a lot of cured meat and cured fish here. You can cook them all as you like. It will be a nutritional supplement for us."

He could prepare for the exam alone if he was more cautious, but having to guard against villains and intensify his review would undoubtedly be a very energy-consuming task.

If you are not in good condition and miss the college entrance examination, it will be a serious loss.

Xu Shuo patted his chest and said generously, "It's a small matter. Leave it to me. I promise to feed you a few pounds."

Anyone who can get into university will naturally have a good future. He is not greedy and will be satisfied if he can find a job in the city with the help of He Xiaoyou.
