Early morning of December 10, 1977
“Ohhh…”
It was still dark and the alarm clock hadn't rung yet, but the rooster tied outside in the yard began to crow.
After a while, the lights in the east and west rooms were turned on at the same time, and then Lu Xie's high-pitched and somewhat excited voice was heard:
"Shengsheng, Lingling, hurry up and get up! Today is a big day, you can't be late!"
Yes, today is the day of the college entrance examination. Lu Wensheng and others were afraid that they would miss the exam if they stayed in the village, so they came to Uncle Xiaoxie to prepare for the exam two days ago.
And just yesterday, Lu Xie and Chen Cheng also rushed back from Beijing by train.
They only have this one daughter, it's impossible for them not to come back to accompany her for the exam!
"Hurry up, Lao Cheng has already prepared the meal, you guys should get up and eat, I will take you to the exam later."
Lu Wensheng turned over with sleepy eyes, feeling a little irritated. It was fine to be tortured by chickens in the village, but there was no way to avoid it in the city.
The main thing is that this big rooster belongs to the village chief. Shameless Shen Lingling is afraid that the alarm clock is broken, and that all the staff will oversleep and be late for the exam.
So before going to the city, I went to the village chief's house and rented Li Xiangyang's precious rooster. Its main task is to crow today...
When he left, Li Xiangyang repeatedly reminded me to bring it back to him. I was so worried that I really wanted him to crow himself...
"Lingling...I hate that rooster!"
What time is it? It’s not even dawn yet!
"What are you doing getting up at 4:30? There are still several hours before the exam..."
Shen Lingling: "..."
Who knows why the village chief's chickens get up so early...
Money can't buy early knowledge. If she had known earlier, she would have borrowed chicken from Aunt Li next door, because her chickens get up late.
At this time, Lu Hao and Meng Qingtang in the west room were also discussing the chicken in the village chief's house:
"Old Meng, just watch. I'm going to give it some sleeping pills tomorrow to make it wake up so early!"
Meng Qingtang: "..."
This boy is quite brave. I heard from Li Youliang that his father has raised this rooster for five years and treats it like a treasure, even closer to him than his own son.
"If you accidentally poison the chicken, the village chief will beat you from head to toe!
Stop talking so much nonsense and get up quickly. You might as well do two papers with that time."
They slept with Uncle Xiaoxie last night, so they were woken up by Uncle Xiaoxie before the cock crowed this morning, and he even called them:
"The teacher asked me to supervise you..."
Ma Yingjie had no choice but to force open the seal on his eyelids and put on his clothes. He kept moving his hands and muttering:
"How desperate must I be to take the college entrance exam? Isn't it better to just sleep at home in such a cold day..."
Meng Qingtang rolled his eyes and said nothing. This kid only dared to talk to him. Why don’t you let him go in front of Shengsheng and try?
We have to fight from the top of the city to the back!
After breakfast, at around seven o'clock, Lu Xie and Chen Cheng took the four "college students" out.
Since the exam was held at the county high school, not far from where they lived, they decided to walk there.
The closer they got to the school, the more nervous Chen Cheng became. He held Lu Wensheng's hand with some uneasiness and said:
"Shengsheng, you must take the test seriously. Write down everything you know. As for what you don't know... just write that the country is good, the leaders are good, and the people are good. No one will dare to give you a wrong answer."
Lu Wensheng: "..."
You are taking advantage of socialism...
The remaining four people (including Lu Xie) were also dumbfounded. They couldn’t tell that Old Cheng was so smart!
When they arrived at the school gate, Chen Cheng still held Lu Wensheng's hand tightly and told him:
"Sheng, don't be nervous. Your uncle Xiaoxie and I will be waiting for you here after the exam. We will make pork elbow for you at noon!"
"Don't worry, little uncle. I promise to give you a full score." Ma Yingjie said shamelessly.
Lu Wensheng also nodded: "Well, don't worry, we'll go in."
"Have you got your admission ticket?"
"I got it."
"There is also a pen, check it quickly."
"Everything is ready, don't worry!"
Chen Cheng, like other parents, watched his child go in with a worried look on his face until he could no longer see him.
"Old Deer, go back and cook. I'll wait here until they finish the exam."
Seeing him squatting in a corner, Lu Xie squatted beside him.
"You wait, and I'll wait too!"
"No, then who will make lunch?"
"I'll call Li Sihai later and ask him to go back and do it."
Chen Cheng: "..."

Inside the examination room
Lu Wensheng found his examination number and sat down, placing his admission ticket carefully on the table. The examination would begin after the invigilators had checked it.
"squeak……"
As a bell rang, the two invigilators began to distribute the papers. The first subject was politics, which was Lu Wensheng's strong point.
When I picked up the test paper, I first wrote my name and test number, then subconsciously read the test paper from beginning to end, and got a general understanding of the questions.
Then she started writing quickly. The topic was so simple that it was absolutely stress-free for her!
But this is only for her, the others may not think so.
Everyone was scratching their heads and looking around, wishing they had eyes that would allow them to see other people's papers effortlessly, especially the female comrade in a white coat standing at the front (Lu Wensheng), who wrote so fluently.
What should I do? I really want to copy!
Halfway through the exam, the man sitting behind Lu Wensheng could no longer resist the urge to cheat, so he quietly stretched his head and tried to take a look at her test paper.
When he saw the densely packed words on the test paper, he was completely numb!
Oh my god, we are all here to take the exam, why is she so amazing...
The candidate squinted his eyes and looked at it for a long time, but couldn't see clearly what was written on it. He was about to hand in the paper, and he was anxious!
I just want to move the table forward a little bit, and then a little bit...
Lu Wensheng is not stupid. How could she not feel the little movements behind her? How could she let others steal the results of her hard work?
So he raised his hand and said: "Teacher, the students behind me are disturbing me!"
The invigilator, who was still drowsy, immediately woke up, walked over to see where his desk was, and warned him seriously:
"Student, please move your desk back and pay attention to exam rules!"
The candidate was so frightened that he trembled, fearing that he would be kicked out. He moved his desk back a long way and did not dare to raise his head. He only breathed a sigh of relief after the invigilator left.
Lu Wensheng curled his lips and chuckled, continuing to concentrate on answering the questions, not affected by this little episode at all.
That's it? He still wants to copy his own? Why doesn't he go to heaven!
