The college entrance examination is scheduled for December 10th to 13th, with an examination center in Chikuyama County.
There were a total of twenty people who signed up to join the Hebian Village Production Team. Those who were able to do so went there two or three days in advance, considering the issue of accommodation in the guesthouse.
Those with worse conditions can only go one day in advance or on the same day. I heard that there are also people who do not stay in the county town and go early and return late.
Daling Commune Primary School is closed for three days.
This made Wang Baojia very happy. After school on the 9th, he ran like a mad rabbit.
"Sister Zhao, let's go watch the fun." After returning home and putting down her schoolbag, Wang Zhaozhao was about to do her homework when Wang Baojia ran to her with his butt sticking out.
"I've never seen you so active in school..." Wang Zhaozhao glanced at him.
"...Oh, Sister Zhao, you are only eleven years old, why do you act like an old woman?" Wang Baojia pouted and muttered in dissatisfaction.
Wang Zhaozhao: “……!”
"Ah!" Saying one more word would be a waste of her saliva, so she just started to act.
Wang Baojia ran away in panic, and Wang Zhaozhao chased him closely. If he didn't beat the shit out of him today, he would be considered awesome.
After a series of begging for mercy, they ran down the valley and joined in the fun in the parking lot.
Three educated youths and... walnuts.
Hu Tao married into Hebian Village and stood out in the first half of the year to become a teacher at the Hebian Village Production Team Primary School.
After the notice of resumption of the college entrance examination came out, I heard that she cried bitterly. She must have regretted it very much.
The reason she was able to become a teacher was not because of her own excellent knowledge and good popularity, but mainly because of the support of her husband's family, which gave her more support than her own abilities.
Therefore, when she proposed to take the college entrance examination, she not only did not receive support, but was also burdened with an additional shackle: I went through so much trouble to let you become a teacher, so just be a teacher quietly, why bother to take the college entrance examination?
Before the educated youth movement officially began...starting in the 1950s, young people who graduated from urban primary and secondary schools began to volunteer to go to poor mountainous areas, rural areas or border areas to support socialist construction.
Wang Xiaomei's mother, Song Lingmin, was one of the first educated youth sent to the countryside, and Hu Tao was the second. In 1962, she volunteered to go to the countryside with her passion and ideals...
Within two months, she understood the true meaning of life: living is not easy, life is short, and everything is unpredictable.
By the time a large number of urban educated youth voluntarily or were forced to go to the countryside, she had already taken root in Hebian Village.
Hu Tao was very clear-headed: she wouldn't pass the exam.
Isn’t it because you failed the exam that you chose to go to the countryside?
The reason for participating was simply the obsession of returning to the city.
"Aunt Zhao, is the college entrance examination difficult?"
After seeing Hu Tao and the others off for the exam in an ox cart, everyone was still chatting animatedly. A little girl with two buns on her head appeared beside Wang Zhaozhao and asked her timidly.
Upon hearing this, Wang Zhaozhao's eyebrows moved slightly.
This is Walnut's little daughter...
"Yiyun, why do you come to ask your Aunt Zhao? She has never taken the college entrance examination." Seeing that Wang Zhaozhao didn't say anything, Wang Baojia thought she didn't know how to answer, so he said to the little girl.
"Sister Zhao is the smartest person in the village. I thought she knew." Little Wang Yiyun said seriously.
Wang Zhaozhao forced a smile and pinched the little girl's rosy face. "Whether the college entrance examination is difficult or not depends on the individual... Some people find it easy, while for others, it's as difficult as climbing to the sky..."
It must be said that it is no wonder that some families are still willing to marry educated youth even though they know there are risks. When Wang Yiyun is compared with other girls in the village, the difference in many aspects is obvious.
Wang Zhaozhao's smile widened, and he couldn't help but pinch the little girl. "Yiyun, have you seen a lot of excitement these days? Most of it is because of the college entrance examination. Do you know why they are like that?"
"Why?" Little Wang Yiyun tilted his head and asked in a soft and cute voice.
Wang Zhaozhao looked at her little appearance and liked her very much.
"Because this is an opportunity to change one's destiny. It not only allows the educated youth to return to the city, but also allows children from poor families like us to change our destiny through studying and taking the college entrance examination.
We can get out of this corner of the mountain, escape the fate of working hard for generations, and become more useful to our family and society. Of course, our lives will be better, with enough food to eat, good clothes to wear, and access to hospitals when we are sick..."
"Wow!" Little Wang Yiyun looked at Wang Zhaozhao with sparkling eyes, cheering and clapping excitedly.
She didn't really understand it, but she just thought it was good.
Wang Zhaozhao smiled faintly, and her mood was extremely beautiful. Not only was she looking forward to the beautiful future, but the bright and lovely little girl in front of her also made her feel really good.
"Old Wang, has your family's ancestral tomb been moved, and accidentally become an excellent Feng Shui site?" Chen Changlin said, nudging Wang Xiangdong with his elbow.
He didn't overhear Wang Zhaozhao's words by accident, but was paying attention to Wang Zhaozhao.
The fact that Wang Xingwen, Wang Weiguo and Wang Xiaomei successfully skipped grades left him with an indelible blow.
It turns out his nephew Chen Lei can do it too!
How should I put it? Carelessness led to defeat!
"Thanks to our ancestors." Wang Xiangdong said calmly.
“……!”
Chen Changlin really wanted to beat him up. The guy was so good at pretending.
Wang Xiangdong had no idea that Chen Changlin had a villain inside him who was going berserk and ready to smash his head. "This little girl Wang Yiyun looks quite smart..."
He became gloomy for a moment, hoping that Hu Tao would fail the exam.
There is still a big difference between having a mother and not having a mother. As for not abandoning the husband and children after passing the exam? I dare not believe it.
In this cold winter, Wang Zhaozhao stayed outside more often, doing his homework by the fire in the kitchen. After finishing, he took out the book "The Legend of the Yang Family" borrowed from the city library to read.
It seemed that Xie Ailian and the others were not watching the same excitement. They didn't come back until 5:30, and it was already dark.
In winter, dinner is basically eaten in the kitchen around the stove.
Tonight I had pig skull, dried beans and a little sweet potato vermicelli, which was very fragrant.
"What did you say in the reversing lot today?" Xie Ailian suddenly asked Wang Zhaozhao.
"Ah?" Wang Zhaozhao, who was immersed in eating, looked up, confused.
Is there any pot of hers?
Qiao Li laughed and said, "The team leader and the others are praising you all the time. They even said that you will definitely be the first college student in our village and that our Wang family is amazing."
"I didn't even meet the captain today." Wang Zhaozhao expressed his innocence.
She brags a little, usually only at home, and never brags outside.
Xie Ailian snorted at her, "Look at how capable you are. You haven't even met the captain, but you can still make him praise you."
That doesn't make sense.
Wang Zhaozhao curled her lips. Her grandma was a loudmouth who liked to cry out for the slightest thing. It was okay, it was okay.
"It's so hard for me. It's another day of being flattered by the captain."
"Then you have to stay calm..."
Wang Sibing patted her shoulder solemnly.
Xie Ailian glared at him, "What are you talking about?!"
Birds hear people talking in the woods, mice hear people talking at home...
