Chapter 115 High School Graduation
Two years of high school life came to an end quickly, and Jinran graduated from high school.
She remembered that the notification would be given around October 1977, which meant there were still three or four months to go.
Jinran didn't want to shout loudly, saying that she knew when the college entrance examination would be reinstated and that she should hurry up and start studying.
They could only use the pretense of a factory entrance exam to get everyone to review in advance.
Da Nan and Da Hong were also left in the county town by Jin Ran during this time, and the brothers studied together after get off work.
Because of Jinran's firm stance, everyone obediently accepted it and dared not object.
Datun Village
Shen Yanhong has been acting strangely lately. Ever since the incident where she caught Meng Fan cheating, she listened to his explanation, and the two of them made up after a fight.
Recently, she's been pushing Meng Fan to study, and she's been doing it herself. Meng Fan has been getting impatient and is asking, "What are you trying to do? What's the point of learning things we don't know? We don't have to take exams anymore."
Shen Yanhong said confidently, "I've heard some inside information that the college entrance examination will be reinstated this year. It will be announced in a few months. We can strike first."
Meng Fan stared at Shen Yanhong in shock, asking incredulously, "Is this news accurate? Are you sure?"
Shen Yanhong nodded, "This news is accurate, so we should take the college entrance exam together and leave here to go back to the capital."
Meng Fan's eyes flickered, and he said softly, "You're pregnant. If the college entrance examination is really reinstated this year, it will be inconvenient for you to go to university."
With a fierce and crazed look in her eyes, Shen Yanhong said directly, "I must take the exam. Meng Fan, let me tell you, even if you go back to the capital, you have to take me with you. Otherwise, I'd rather die than let you go."
Meng Fan gave Shen Yanhong a meaningful look, but said nothing more.
Jinran was unaware of what was happening in the village. She was currently in a state of frenzy, studying with her brothers, Dahong, and Da Nan during the day, and then going into her virtual space at night to endlessly do practice problems.
And so, October arrived.
The announcement that the college entrance examination had been reinstated came over the loudspeaker, and everyone cheered. Shen Cong and Shen Ming almost threw Jin Ran into the air to celebrate.
With only two months until the college entrance exam, they have an advantage over most people, after all, they've been studying for more than half a year. They haven't missed a single point of knowledge.
After hearing the news, Grandpa Shen and Grandma Shen took the eggs and fresh vegetables they had saved at home and went to the county.
Grandma Shen instructed, "This is an opportunity. If you are interested, you must take the exam. Now that the college entrance examination has been reinstated, there will be more college students in the future, and high school students will not be so precious. You should think about it more."
Grandpa Shen also said, "Your grandma is right, especially since you are a special class. Maybe the exams won't be too difficult. Go and give it a try, otherwise you'll just have regrets."
Jinran thought her grandparents were really farsighted old folks, so she said, "I know, Grandpa and Grandma, we must try. If we can pass the exam, that would be great. If we can't, we'll go find a job. We'll always have a way out."
The brothers and Da Hong all nodded in agreement with Jin Ran's words. Only Da Nan looked hesitant. Grandma Chen comforted her, "Da Nan, go and give it a try. You can have a bright future, earn more money, and be successful so you can help the family."
The eldest sister nodded emphatically.
Shen Cong and Shen Ming took leave from their jobs, and the four of them returned to the village. Mainly, Grandma Shen said, "Your parents are both working and have no time to take care of you. If you go back to the village, you won't have to worry about meals or anything. You'd be better off using that extra time to study. Time is too tight."
Finally, the last few people obediently followed them back to the village.
The village chief was very proud when he learned that Da Hong would also be taking the exam, and said, "You guys just focus on reviewing, and leave the rest to us."
At this point, Wang Dali also wanted to review the material. The four of them didn't have any particular thoughts about it; they figured, "Let's just go for it." They had already learned all the knowledge points, and now they were just constantly doing practice questions to maintain their skills and fill in any gaps in their knowledge. If they encountered any questions they couldn't answer, they would discuss them together.
However, Wang Dali was a little unhappy. She thought that with her abilities, she would definitely be fawned over like a star, but that wasn't the case. Nobody paid much attention to her, and it seemed that the four of them had their own study rhythm. She looked through the big red test questions and found that there were some questions she couldn't answer.
Before she transmigrated, she was at least attending a top-tier university, but now she has so many questions she can't answer. She always thought the first college entrance exam wouldn't be difficult, so she didn't take it too seriously, assuming that as long as she finished studying the math, physics, and chemistry textbooks, she would be fine.
But what are these people doing? Do they need to solve such profound problems? Is it necessary?
