Capital Publishing House first published Zhou Cunren’s teaching aids, followed by the textbooks he compiled which were published one after another.
These books were distributed to various bookstores and happened to attract the attention of some middle school teachers.
The content and knowledge points of textbooks in the 1970s were poorly written. The content was scattered and full of errors. Not to mention ordinary teachers, even experienced teachers who graduated from key universities had to spend a lot of time preparing lesson plans before class.
But the textbooks written by Zhou Cunren are a breath of fresh air that is eye-opening.
The education department organized a number of senior teachers to write and review the test papers, and Zhou Cunren took one of the places.
Ye Qingshui and Xie Tingyu came to the hospital to visit the old man and heard the news from a fellow patient. Ye Qingshui was very happy for Zhou Cunren.
"Teacher Zhou has really reaped the rewards of his hard work this time. The clouds have finally cleared and the moon has appeared."
Yes, Ye Qingshui still remembers the first time he saw this old man, he was full of dejection and death, as if he was trying to commit suicide.
Looking at him now, even though he is sick, he is still energetic and has a rosy face.
Participating in the college entrance examination question setting and marking is a hard job, which requires a period of one or two months of isolation. The allowance received is probably not enough to cover Zhou Cunren's medicine for a month. However, the Ministry of Education's willingness to invite Zhou Cunren means that it recognizes him as a person.
This is an affirmation for Zhou Cunren.
It had nothing to do with his class background or family background; this time his knowledge was recognized by others.
Zhou Ke listened and insisted with tears in his eyes, "Grandpa can't leave the hospital."
Zhou Cunren smiled and said, "Yes, Grandpa will take the medicine on time."
He urged the couple, "Take the exam well and try to get into a key university."
He patted Ye Qingshui on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Especially you."
It is not easy to get into university, and it is even harder to get into university from the countryside. But Ye Qingshui is a rare talented and hardworking student Zhou Cunren has ever met. Such a good seedling should not be buried in the countryside.
Moreover, in Zhou Cunren's opinion, Xie Tingyu is not an ordinary person and her family background should be very good. If Ye Qingshui has the additional identity of a college student, no one will dare to look down on her easily in the future.
Zhou Cunren said solemnly with a stern face: "If you can't get into college, you won't be able to see me, an old man."
Ye Qingshui's heart warmed up, and he said with a smile: "I will, and I will never let you down."
Zhou Cunren left the hospital and rushed to the provincial capital to prepare the college entrance examination papers. Ye Qingshui also began his final sprint for the college entrance examination.
She did not take the college entrance examination lightly because of her experience of having a second life. Instead, she took it very seriously and even took out her textbooks to recite during breaks from eating or going to the toilet.
The elders of the Ye family took the college entrance examination very seriously. The whole family was very nervous, and Ye Qingshui was even sent back to study by his uncle when he was cooking.
The couple took several rounds of tests based on the test papers Zhou Cunren gave them. Relying on the advantage of reviewing early, Ye Qingshui crushed Xie Tingyu by several dozen points.
It was during that period that Xie Tingyu started to "not do his job properly" and built a biogas digester for the village.
After a month, Xie Tingyu found some time to review, and he made great progress every time. However, Ye Qingshui was still a little nervous.
At the end of October, the educated youth in the village started review classes enthusiastically and set up mutual help groups.
The young couple of the Ye family were busy with their own work during the day, and they would light the lamps when they got home to supervise each other.
"How was it? Did I do better than Brother Yu this time?" Ye Qingshui supported his chin with both hands, sat next to the man, and nervously watched him check the papers one by one.
Xie Tingyu gently unscrewed the pen, quickly checked the answer, and made some marks with his hand.
The dancing lights swayed and shone on his face.
His spine was straight, his edges and corners were more distinct, his brows were gathered together, and his slightly raised eyebrows were like flying sideburns. After two months of busy running, he had become much darker, and the muscles in his two arms, like iron arms, were honey-colored.
After he finished correcting the papers, he spread out his arms and easily embraced his wife in his arms.
"See for yourself?"
When Ye Qingshui saw the number starting with nine, her usual excitement disappeared. She only felt the arm across her waist, as hot as a branding iron.
Xie Tingyu showed his white teeth and was about to make a joke, but when he looked down at his wife, he saw that her eyelashes were trembling slightly with nervousness.
The dim light fell on Ye Qingshui's slightly red face, making her look as delicate and beautiful as a flower. Her current age is also the best age for a girl. She has shed her youthfulness and gained some feminine charm.
Seeing this, Xie Tingyu felt a burning sensation in his heart. His throat became slightly hoarse and his Adam's apple rolled.
If Xie Tingyu still had the intention of protecting her and only treated her as a younger sister last year, he could no longer deceive himself. How could there be such a sister who he wanted to rub into his bones as soon as he touched her?
If it weren't for the busy work during the day taking up most of his energy, and if he hadn't taken so much time to review at night that he fell asleep immediately due to exhaustion, how could he have had so much time for romantic things?
Xie Tingyu felt subtly awkward at the moment, and thought that his wife would definitely push him away, but he was still reluctant to let go.
It is estimated that there is no other man in the world as miserable as Xie Tingyu.
Ye Qingshui felt the warmth coming from him, and she couldn't help but move back a little.
Xie Tingyu hugged her, covering her shoulders, and his hoarse voice came through the clothes: "Don't move. If I get a higher score than Shui'er this time, can you let me hold you for a while longer?"
Ye Qingshui hesitated for a moment after hearing this and was a little stunned.
She looked through his dark eyes and saw the pitiful expression on his face, and she couldn't bear to refuse. She remembered how he almost blindly trusted and protected her when she was rumored to have had a miscarriage, and then she touched his now hot body.
Her heart felt warm and hot, and she avoided his burning gaze with difficulty.
Xie Tingyu spread out his hands, revealing two test papers.
Xie Tingyu, 96 points.
Ye Qingshui, 92 points.
He raised his hands, easily took his wife into his arms, hugged her tightly, and took a deep breath.
He suddenly asked his wife: "If I remember correctly, Shui'er once said she wanted to give me a surprise."
"What's the surprise?"
Xie Tingyu was clearly only frightened, there was no trace of surprise at all.
Ye Qingshui leaned on his shoulders, her hands around his strong waist and abdomen, hard and hot. She couldn't help laughing:
"Well...I'll tell you when the time is right?"
Unexpectedly, he also remembered the promise he made casually at night. He had no idea that for this promise, she had to give up the university she had always wanted to go to, and at least postpone going to university for two years.
"Your main task now is to do well in the exam and try to get into a key university. Grandma said that there are many people in the compound who look down on our family. Brother Yu must show them a good lesson."
Ye Qingshui crawled out of the man's arms and disappeared in a flash.
…
In preparation for the college entrance examination, the educated youth camp set up study groups to help each other.
Not only in Yejia Village, but also all over the country, people were immersed in the upsurge of the resumption of the college entrance examination. Hundreds of thousands of scholars fought hard for this precious opportunity.
The city library hadn't even opened yet, but there was already a long queue of students outside, waiting to go in to borrow books and review.
Ye Qingshui saw this news in the newspaper and couldn't help but sigh to the man: "This is all about making up for the time lost in the past few years."
She pointed at the newspaper and glanced at it, the deep meaning in her eyes was self-evident.
Xie Tingyu couldn't help but smile when he saw this. Ever since his grandmother wrote a letter urging him to do well in the exam, his wife has been particularly nervous.
He coughed forcefully and assured, "I'm about to finish the work on hand. Once I'm done, I'll have some free time. Maybe I can even let Shuiya review under the bright light."
Ye Qingshui raised his head happily, "Really?"
"Really? I'll show you later."
"Brother Yu promised me that he would work hard for the exam this year."
Xie Tingyu was very pleased to hear his wife's words. It was rare for his wife to ask him for anything, and he didn't dare to boast about other things, but Xie Tingyu was good at studying.
I originally planned to put only 80% of my effort into reviewing, but now it has become 100%.
The tense atmosphere of preparation for the exam in various places has made the educated youth who registered for the exam this year pay more attention to reviewing.
It is not enough to tighten your belt and buy reference books for the exam, it is not enough to sacrifice working time and review whenever you have time, but you have to study hard at night. I wish I could split the day into two petals.
This is the normal state for rural educated youth to prepare for the exam.
Everyone knew that Xie Tingyu was very busy every day, working from dawn to dusk to promote the biogas in the village, so he naturally had no time to attend to this lively study group.
Many educated youth secretly worried for him and advised him to come to the educated youth center to study together.
However, there were also some educated youths who were always jealous of Xie Tingyu and said maliciously: "Xie Tingyu is educated!"
A well-educated educated youth from the capital has now become a peasant buried in the countryside, working hard. How many people are waiting to see him make a fool of himself.
Is he working so hard in the hope that he will be assigned as a worker, peasant or soldier next year?
There was less than three months between the announcement of the college entrance examination and the start of the exam. One can imagine how difficult this exam was.
At the end of October, Xie Tingyu finally made a biogas lamp.
This news is much more important to rural people than the college entrance examination.
It was not yet dark, but the open space in the playground of Yejia Village, which was usually used for meetings, was full of people. They were all people who had heard about the biogas lanterns and came to see them.
The playground was lit up with tall light bulbs. The villagers who had brought flashlights to illuminate the playground tacitly turned off the lights. At the moment when everyone was watching, Xie Tingyu calmly pressed the switch of the light bulb.
With a "click" sound.
The bright light hurt people's eyes. The 60-watt light illuminated most of the playground.
"Wow--"
“There really is a light!”
"Oh my god, it looks brighter than a flashlight!"
"If it's placed in the room, it will be so bright, it will be just like daytime, right?"
The village cadres looked at the bright biogas lamp and were so happy that they were almost speechless. At the same time, their admiration for Xie Tingyu reached its peak.
Seeing the scorching gazes that could melt a person, Ye Qingshui almost thought that these cadres wanted to hang Xie Tingyu up and take him home to worship him.
The cadres couldn't help but murmur in their hearts that Xie Zhiqing's ideological awareness was higher than others. Other educated youths were studying hard for the college entrance examination, but he was the only one who sacrificed his review time in order to solve the problems of his fellow villagers.
It was said that this year's college entrance examination was as difficult as climbing to heaven. Xie Zhiqing was too busy to review, so how could he do well in the exam? They secretly decided that if he failed to get into university, he would be given a place in the workers, peasants and soldiers next year!
If Ye Qingshui knew what these village cadres were thinking, he would probably be in a state of confusion.
He was clearly a potential top student in the province, but he has fallen to the point where others are worried about his failure to get into university.
