Chapter 79: Exam He continued to stroll around as if nothing had happened,...
Chapter 79 Examination
The admission ticket for Yancheng contains the name, registration number, applied subject and county (district), examination venue location, examination subjects and timetable, as well as a one-inch photo of the applicant and the seal of the Admissions Committee.
Both of them applied for science.
Firstly, their performance in science was no worse than their performance in liberal arts, and was even better; secondly, the slogan "Learn math, physics and chemistry well, and you will travel the world" was popular these days.
The range of choices available to students studying liberal arts is relatively narrow.
After looking at the examination room, the two did not ask for leave to review like most people did, but continued to work and do what they had to do.
The old boss saw this and asked Chen Yin, "Didn't you go to register for the exam?"
Chen Yin smiled and replied, "The preliminaries are over, and the real exam is still a few days away."
"Don't you need to review? Everyone is memorizing their lessons."
"Don't worry, my memory is still good. I've memorized everything I need to, so these few days won't be a big deal."
The old leader nodded, but still warned: "Don't underestimate the enemy!"
Chen Yin agreed with a smile.
Many people from the Municipal Party Committee Office have signed up for the exam, especially those who have just been working for a few years. They basically have no chance to go to college, so they all have to take the exam this time.
There are three people in their external secretarial group alone, including Chen Yin, Wang Chunling and another male secretary.
The old leader's words of "don't underestimate the enemy" were actually because everyone else had taken leave to prepare for the exam.
Chen Yin was not really self-righteous, but Yan Jiuru would help her sort out her spiritual consciousness after every in-depth communication with her husband and wife. Her physical condition and memory were already very good now.
Yan Jiuru's application for university surprised the people in Institute 107. After all, people like him who came in with special abilities basically didn't look at their academic qualifications. But since he wanted to take the exam, the institute couldn't stop him.
Anyway, the major tasks of the first phase have been completed, and there is still a lot of follow-up work to be carried out. There will not be such time-consuming tasks in the short term.
***
The day of the exam finally arrived.
Early that morning, Yan Jiuru and Chen Yin washed up and saw the fried dough sticks and boiled eggs they had bought for breakfast on the table. They couldn't help but laugh, "Why are you guys trying to imitate me? If eating these really meant you could get a perfect score on the test, then you should just run after them to buy breakfast."
"Hurry up and eat. Say something auspicious today and don't say anything nonsense."
Aunt Yan heard a lot of gossip about exam preparation from her neighbors and started to follow their lead.
The two looked at each other and said, "Eat it. It's a token of the old man's kindness."
I guess the fried dough sticks at the nearby state-owned breakfast shop must be in short supply these days.
After eating and dressing warmly, and checking the items and documents they needed to bring for the exam, the two of them rushed to the examination room.
***
The first subject is politics.
As soon as the test paper with the fragrance of ink was handed down, Yan Jiuru quickly flipped through it. There were not many questions, only six big questions in total.
The first six short-answer questions account for 30 points, followed by five essay questions, especially the last two, which account for 20 points each. If you can do them, it would be great, otherwise it would be terrible.
As a party member, he often has organized study sessions, so these questions are not difficult for Yan Jiuru.
There is nothing much to say about the short-answer questions above. For example, the three components of Marxism are Marxist philosophy, Marxist political economy and scientific socialism; for example, what are the four modernizations, etc., are all easy.
Two of the big questions at the end involved the four-person group that had just been crushed. Yan Jiuru had read the newspaper reviews to pieces, so he naturally followed the format closely. He was just afraid that if he answered too few questions, he would miss something.
Yan Jiuru finished the test paper in about an hour. After checking it several times, he found no problems and could not think of any solution if he was unsure.
He looked at his watch. There were only about forty minutes left before he had to hand in his paper. It was so boring to just sit there.
He began to pay attention to other candidates.
It was obvious at a glance that many people answered very slowly, some were pulling their hair, some were biting their pens, and some were looking around to find help...
"No looking around, everyone answer their own questions!"
The invigilator coughed, walked over slowly, took a look at Yan Jiuru's test paper, whose handwriting was very elegant and whose answers were full. Then he slowly walked over to the boy who was about to look for help.
Yan Jiuru noticed that the teacher's hands were covered with tiny cracks and calluses. Then he glanced at his face, which was full of vicissitudes and a bit cautious. It seemed that he had just returned to his post.
After finally waiting for the opportunity to hand in the paper, Yan Jiuru quickly handed it in and left.
***
It wasn't even eleven when he came out.
If I go home now, have a quick meal and then rush back, I have to leave some time on the way just in case. With this calculation, it’s not worth the trip back and forth.
He simply found a place nearby to have lunch.
It’s better to go early, there will definitely be a lot of people today.
Sure enough, before he finished eating, many people suddenly rushed into the restaurant and there was not enough space.
Even though he still had two steamed buns left to eat, there were already two people waiting to take his place.
Seeing this, Yan Jiuru didn't delay any longer and quickly finished eating and made room.
***
With nowhere to go at noon, he wandered around wrapped in his military coat.
Inadvertently, he heard two people whispering to each other.
He didn't take it seriously at first. Sometimes his spiritual sense could inadvertently capture some information, and he would filter out most of it himself. However, at this moment, one piece of information appeared unusually clearly in his brain, and Yan Jiuru immediately became serious.
"...For the physics and chemistry exams this afternoon and the math exam tomorrow morning, use this admission ticket. The photo has been changed to yours, so don't worry, no one will be able to tell. You don't need to come tomorrow afternoon..."
Yan Jiuru keenly realized that these two people were probably talking about "taking the exam for someone else"!
This kind of thing is not within his scope of responsibility, but if he knows about it and does nothing about it, it is not in line with his status as a party member.
Yan Jiuru touched his nose and said, "It's bad luck for you two. Anyway, the basic qualities of a party member cannot be ignored."
Yan Jiuru took note of the two people's appearance, admission ticket and other information.
It's not appropriate to arrest people for this kind of thing now.
Because it hasn't happened yet, and he probably isn't the only one who is so "smart". What this guy can think of, there must be others who have thought of it.
He continued to stroll around as if nothing had happened, but in fact he was looking for the post office to make a phone call.
He didn't want to borrow the school's phone for fear of alerting anyone, but there wasn't one nearby, so he had to take his bike and go find a post office far away.
***
When in doubt, seek help from your leader.
"Ring, ring, ring~"
"Hello, this is the 107th Institute's duty room, hello comrade."
"Okay, I'll go to the cafeteria and call him. You can call his office number in five minutes."
. . . . . .
After finishing this, he looked at his watch and saw that there was less than an hour left before the afternoon exam, so he hurried back to the examination room.
He is now a candidate, and his focus is still on exams.
When the physics and chemistry test papers were handed out, Yan Jiuru flipped through them and thought, wow, they are really easy.
Just as he was answering the questions, there was some noise outside the classroom, but it was quickly suppressed.
Not long after, two serious-looking staff members came into their examination room. After greeting the invigilator, they began to check the admission tickets and the candidates themselves at each table. Another person was holding another document in his hand for comparison.
Everyone was obviously more nervous, after all, this didn't happen during the morning exam.
However, the invigilator reassured everyone, "Take the exam with peace of mind. This is a routine check, and there will be no random checks during future exams."
Yan Jiuru thought to herself, "Old Wu is quite quick."
When I came out of the exam, there was a lot of discussion outside the exam room.
It turned out that they caught two or three people taking the exam for others at this test center.
***
In the evening, Chen Yin also talked about this matter.
"I heard that two people were caught in our examination room this afternoon." Yan Jiuru didn't mention himself, but was only concerned about how Chen Yin felt about answering the questions.
Chen Yin smiled and said, "It's not difficult. We deal with politics every day at work, and physics and chemistry are even easier than you might think."
The Chinese language test the next day made Yan Jiuru even happier.
The first part is the composition "The Party's Spring Breeze Blows Across the Earth" of no less than 500 words, accounting for 80 points. The remaining parts are a reading comprehension question and an ancient Chinese translation question, each accounting for 10 points.
Yan Jiuru finished the last two questions first, and then wrote the composition.
Thank you for the training of writing reports and summaries frequently over the past six months!
Forget about a 500-word composition. He's not exaggerating, even if it's 800 or 1,000 words, it's not like Lord Demon cannot write one now!
However, Yan Jiuru made some revisions and finally retained what he thought was the most essential part, which was about 600 words.
There were still people coming to check the admission tickets for the exam that day, but Yan Jiuru didn't care whether anyone was caught again.
After the exam, many people squatted on the ground or cried with their heads in their hands. I don’t know if they were happy because they had hope, or because of their experiences in previous years.
Yan Jiuru took a look and rode his bike home.
He himself was wearing torn pants and open-toed shoes two years ago, so he has no reason to sympathize with others.
***
It was already around four o'clock in the afternoon when I got home.
Chen Yin just got home too.
Seeing Yan Jiuru coming back, he hurriedly called him: "Come quickly, you think about the questions and I'll find the answers. This way it's faster."
Both of them did this after coming back from the exams these past two days. Yan Jiuru's memory of the questions was not wrong at all.
After they finished estimating their scores, they looked at each other. Chen Yin said cautiously, "I estimate 360 points, which shouldn't be an overestimation. What about you?"
Yan Jiuru said: "As for me, I would say 370 if I'm optimistic, or 350 if I'm conservative."
Both of them scored above 90 points in math, physics and chemistry, ahem, even full marks, but, to be conservative, a few points were deducted. In addition, the politics and composition questions were relatively subjective, so it depends on the examiner's opinion.
If the teacher thinks it is good, he may deduct three or five points. If he thinks it is not good, it is not impossible to deduct more than ten points.
"Okay, we won't fail anyway. No matter what, the exams are finally over, why don't we go out to a restaurant to celebrate?" Yan Jiuru suggested.
"Where are we going?" Chen Yin was also a little tempted.
During this period, including the eve of the crushing of the Four-Man Group, their municipal party committee was busy and tense, and they hadn't had a moment of relaxation for a long time.
"My colleague brought a roast duck that was delicious. Why don't we go eat some?"
"Then, you go and tell it?" Chen Yinchao gestured outside.
Yan Jiuru stood up and left without saying anything, "Okay, I'll do it, you get ready."
****
Sure enough, when the eldest son (grandson) said that he was too tired from the exam and wanted to go to a restaurant to relax, the old people were really distressed.
Forget about having a meal at the next restaurant, I'd even try to catch the moon.
The food that was already being prepared was put aside, as there was no need to worry about it going bad in the cold winter.
This is the only convenience in the city. Even when it gets dark, there are always lights, so you can see inside and outside the house.
After the whole family got dressed, Yan Jiuru rode a bicycle with his wife and children, his father rode a tricycle with his mother, Rushong and Ruyue, and Rushan rode a tricycle with his grandparents, and they headed straight for the front door.
On the road, Yan Jiuru didn't envy the occasional taxi speeding by.
Because according to the various mineral resources discovered today, as long as the authorities don't mess around, China's development will definitely get better and better, and it won't be too far away for us to have a jeep at home.
