The news of the resumption of the college entrance examination spread quickly throughout every production brigade. The educated youth and high school graduates went crazy borrowing books and searching for materials.
Only a few people could be found who could lend them money. Having no other option, they resorted to robbing.
How much knowledge can one learn or copy in a month?
This time, Li Yuanzhao led everyone to study together every day. The weaving group also stopped doing their work.
Su Cuihua and Zhao Guoqiang are panicking now; they haven't studied at all. With so much knowledge in just one month, they can't possibly learn much. They just want to take more materials back to study.
Please keep all these materials together and only take one copy home. This is to avoid delaying other people's studies.
Li Yuanzhao slapped down the sets of test papers that Su Cuihua was holding, and shouted at Zhao Guoqiang, "Put yours down too!"
They took a lot of documents back yesterday, but haven't brought them back yet. They still need to get them.
Li Yuanzhao: "These are the documents I brought; I won't lend them to you."
Su Cuihua and Zhao Guoqiang both felt embarrassed.
Zhao Guoqiang: "Two of these are from Song Yan."
Sigh! Some people are so shameless that they can't tell right from wrong.
Song Yan: "Did I say I lent it to you? And who among you took a document from me yesterday and didn't get it back?" Today, Song Yan wanted to find some questions from the document for Wei Aiguo to do, but he couldn't find the document.
Su Cuihua: "Why are you like this? We haven't learned much, so we want to learn more."
Fang Jinghua: "Have you no shame? Weren't you told not to learn this in the first place?"
The study materials were selflessly given to everyone by Li Yuanzhao and Song Yan. To make it convenient for everyone, they try their best not to take them back. But you two are hogging the materials, hindering everyone's learning.
My study materials will arrive soon. I'm letting you know in advance that I won't lend them to you. With Fang Jinghua's family's connections, they should be able to get the materials.
"I think we should set some rules! High school textbooks are our own, and we should take them home to study. But these practice problems, except for the people who took the materials, Song Yan and Li Yuanzhao, we can't take them home. If they get lost or damaged, we can't afford to pay for them."
"If Fang Jinghua can get the information, we'll do the same," Huang Guoqing said.
Pan Bo and Shen Hanyang both agreed.
Gao Weijie: "I agree with doing that. I'll do the same when my documents arrive in a few days."
Why should someone else take back the materials my family worked so hard to obtain, only to find they're useless to me when I'm studying them?
Su Cuihua and Zhao Guoqiang both looked unwell.
Gao Weijie: "You two, don't put on airs. Song Yan was just looking for the exam paper but couldn't find it. Who has it?"
Didn't you realize beforehand that your actions would disrupt someone's use of the service? Don't you feel any remorse?
Huang Guoqing: "You must apologize for this behavior and guarantee that it will not happen again. Otherwise, I propose that such people be kicked out."
Su Cuihua and Zhao Guoqiang had no choice but to apologize; their actions were unreasonable. Their failure to study was their own fault, and they couldn't blame anyone else.
Pan Bo: "Right now, people from all the brigades are frantically searching for information. We have so much information, and soon someone will come to borrow it."
I suggest that whether or not to lend the documents to outsiders should be decided by the owners of the documents. However, I think that since we've borrowed them, we should be responsible for keeping an eye on the documents to prevent them from being lost.” After saying that, he looked at He Jianian.
The first thing He Jianian did upon learning of the resumption of the college entrance examination was to ask Li Yuanzhao to join the study group. Li Yuanzhao, a fellow educated youth who had been sent to the countryside together, did not refuse.
Of these people, besides Su Cuihua and Zhao Guoqiang, only He Jianian secretly slipped the materials into his textbook. Pan Bo saw it at the time.
From then on, Pan Bo and Shen Hanyang took the initiative to manage these study materials. They numbered all the materials. They kept clear records of who took which material and when it was returned.
Not long after, educated youth from other brigades did come to borrow the materials. Li Yuanzhao discussed it with everyone and decided that they could look at them there, but they were not allowed to take them away. Moreover, the owners of the materials had priority in using them.
When Wei Aiguo returned, Song Yan had him do the types of questions he had summarized.
Looking at the practice questions his wife had copied down for him, Wei Aiguo felt a pang of sadness. After studying for so long, he was fully capable of getting into university.
But he cannot.
Song Yan was always full of hopeful anticipation, dreaming that the two of them would go to university together. They planned to apply to the same university, and after settling down there, they would try to bring their families along.
Song Yan said she couldn't stand being separated from Yueyue for too long.
Wei Aiguo dared not say whether he could answer the questions during the exam, even though he had listened to his wife and applied for the exam.
Song Yan hugged Yueyue and said, "Yueyue, call me Daddy. Let Daddy work hard and cheer you on."
Yueyue was forced to utter a single syllable, and she unconsciously uttered, "Ba ba ba..."
Wei Aiguo dared not agree, because he couldn't do it.
Wei Aiguo investigated and found three people who instigated Jiang Hongwei, as well as suspicious individuals provided by his superiors.
Wei Aiguo didn't notice anything unusual about these people. With spies already infiltrated, all he could do was wait.
He may only be able to watch Song Yan spread his wings and fly away.
All necessary supplies must be prepared before the exam. Song Yan, who prepared for the college entrance examination years ago, takes these things very seriously.
Compared to other brigades, the educated youth in Qingshan Brigade were relatively well-off. Some of the educated youth who came to see the materials were living in dire straits; for example, they needed to buy a fountain pen for the exam, and some couldn't bear to part with it.
Song Yan remembered the fountain pen he had hidden in a corner and found it. He thought that He Zhiqing's old fountain pen had been discarded by him, so he might as well let it make the most of it one last time.
Before giving a pen to someone, you should always know if it works well. Song Yan wanted to unscrew the cap and draw some ink.
Oh! This pen doesn't have a sac. Song Yan held the top half of the pen in one hand and the cap in the other. She turned the cap to look at the sac! There was something inside the cap, like a rolled-up white paper. It was stuck quite deep, and Song Yan tried to pry it out for a long time but couldn't. She didn't dare to use too much force, afraid of tearing the paper inside.
There was no point in keeping the pen without its case, so Song Yan smashed the cap open, revealing a scroll of paper inside. It contained a lot of writing. After reading it, Song Yan felt a chill run down his spine; this was definitely not a trivial matter.
