At the end of August 1979, when she was talking to her father on the phone as usual, Jian Shu finally heard some news about the resumption of the college entrance examination from Jian Yucheng's suggestive words.

Although she remembered that the official announcement was in October, Beijing had held several meetings for this purpose even earlier.

Some families with connections knew some inside information in advance and were able to start preparing earlier.

Don't underestimate this prophet.

You know, this is the first college entrance examination after a ten-year hiatus. During these ten years, how many people were forced to put down their books and pick up hoes?

No matter how smart a person is, if he doesn't touch books for a long time, the knowledge he learned in the past will gradually fade away. It will be very difficult to pick it up again, and it will take time.

There were less than two months from the announcement of the resumption of the college entrance examination to the actual examination. How many people failed due to insufficient preparation?

Even Jianshu was a little excited when he heard the news.

After hanging up the phone and on the way back with her child, she thought a lot.

This news has not been confirmed yet and must not be spread outside. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain if the news came out later, and it might even implicate her father, so it must be kept strictly confidential.

Not many people around her would choose to take the Gaokao, and Lingling was one of them, so she would definitely take it. However, she had already found an excuse to pick up her studies two years ago, and since she had never put down her books, it shouldn't be a big problem.

If her father knew, he would definitely tell someone, and Uncle Zhao might know too. So Lingling was the one she shouldn't worry about the least.

She doesn't have many friends, and Wu Xiufang will definitely not attend. It's hard to say about Li Li and Pan Ning. After all, they have jobs and children to take care of, so it's not certain whether they will attend.

But no matter what, when the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination came out, she still had to send a copy of the information back to them and write a letter to persuade them.

In the future, society will undoubtedly place increasing emphasis on academic qualifications. The difference between a junior high school diploma and a university degree is enormous. Furthermore, state-owned enterprises will undergo reforms, and businesses like department stores will gradually be phased out. Iron rice bowl jobs will also see a wave of layoffs. The once envied salesperson will no longer be so successful.

The college entrance examination is another way out. The value of the first college entrance examination after its restoration is completely incomparable to the subsequent college entrance examinations. Even if you can only get into a junior college, there are many more choices.

As a friend, she hopes to give them a helping hand at this crossroads that determines the direction of their lives.

Carrying the child all the way back home, Jianshu's excitement gradually subsided as he listened to her tender voice calling her "Mom."

"Yiyi, Mommy will take you back to Beijing to see Grandpa in a while, okay?"

"Grandpa? Phone call?" Little Gu Yiyi said incoherently with a candy in his mouth.

They had just come back from a phone call with their grandfather, and were deeply impressed.

Jian Shu chuckled and nodded, "Yes, the grandpa on the phone, didn't mom show you a photo of grandpa?"

Little Gu Yiyi thought about it, then rushed into the house and soon came out holding a photo, "Mom, Grandpa!" The fat boy pointed at the man in the photo who was smiling faintly and looking at the baby in his arms.

"Yi Yi is awesome. When you see grandpa again when you return to Beijing, you must recognize him."

"I will, Yi Yi is the smartest!" The little brat raised his chin arrogantly.

Children who have been praised in various ways since childhood have no shortage of self-confidence.

Little Gu Yiyi firmly believes that she is the most beautiful, cutest and smartest child in the world.

"Yes, Yi Yi is the smartest." Jian Shu nodded.

"Mom, do you want to take a ride? Beep, beep, beep—" Little Gu Yiyi imitated the sound of a train with a look of anticipation on his face.

"Yes, then we will take a bus to the train station first, and then take the train. After a few days, we will be able to see grandpa when we get off the train." Jianshu looked at her expectant eyes and laughed.

This kid has been thinking about it since he heard it once. Don’t cry when you really get on the bus.

"Wow~" Gu Yiyi exclaimed, then pulled her mother's sleeve and said impatiently: "Mom, look at grandpa!" She wanted to ride the train.

"It's still early, wait a little longer." Jianshu comforted her. It was only August, and they had to wait until the news came out before going back.

"Not too early, not too early!" The clever boy rolled his eyes and immediately came up with an idea, "Thinking about grandpa."

"Pfft..." Jian Shu laughed, and gently hooked her nose with his finger. "You little rascal, you're the only one with so many tricks up your sleeve. You don't want to see Grandpa, you obviously want to take the train."

The cunning Gu Yiyi refused to admit it, "Yiyi misses grandpa, and grandpa misses Yiyi." He just wanted to take a ride on the train.

"Shame on you, who told you that grandpa missed you?"

"Grandpa said he missed Yiyi!" Little Gu Yiyi made a phone call gesture, indicating that it was his grandpa who said that on the phone.

Jianshu then remembered that this little elf has a very sweet mouth, just like honey. Every time he calls, he starts with "Grandpa/Grandpa/Uncle/Aunt/Uncle, I miss you." After hearing this, how can the other party not reply with "I miss you too"?

Are you deliberately not telling me? Then just wait for the villain to pester you. He won't stop until he hears what he has to say.

Others also spoiled her. Every time they talked to the little elf, their voices were much lower, almost as if they were pinching their throats.

"Okay, okay, your grandpa misses you." Jian Shu nodded perfunctorily. Just when little Gu Yiyi was about to be happy, she changed the subject, "But we still have to wait two months. There are still many things to arrange at home. Besides, are you willing to leave your little friend?"

"Take them all with you?" Little Gu Yiyi thought for a moment and said.

Jianshu: "...No, my family is here, how can I go with you?" Little guy, you may not look big, but you have beautiful ideas.

On one side are his friends, and on the other side is a little train. Little Gu Yiyi is stuck in a world problem, sitting on a small chair with his brows tightly furrowed.

The last time I faced such a difficult choice was when I had to choose between candy and snacks.

The last time was when I was deciding which little skirt to wear, one I particularly liked or one I particularly liked.

One more time...

Children's attention span is like this, they get distracted after a while.

Jian Shu quickly noticed and coughed lightly, "Yi Yi, have you thought it through?"

Little Gu Yiyi quickly came to his senses and blinked his eyes. Jianshu had no choice but to repeat the question.

"Oh! I'm so worried!" His chubby face was wrinkled as he supported it with his little hands.

"Pfft——" Jianshu burst into laughter, waiting for her choice with a smile.

The little eyes rolled around, and she tugged at Jianshu's sleeve, "Mom, look at Grandpa!"

Humph, the little friend has already seen it, but she has not ridden the train yet. After she rides the train and sees her grandpa, she will come back to accompany them.

Oh, I'm so smart!

Little Gu Yiyi started to act cocky again.

He was holding his chubby little face and smiling happily.
