Everyone was very excited when they heard this, especially the educated youth. As long as they got into this worker-peasant-soldier university, they wouldn't have to suffer in the village waiting to return to the city.
After graduating from university, most people become cadres or officials, and their lives are completely changed.
Of course, Su Jiaojiao, who was reborn, and Su Li, who transmigrated, did not take the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University seriously.
Upon hearing the news, Lin Zhaodi clenched her fists in excitement; the village secretary had promised her this spot.
If she goes to this worker-peasant-soldier university, she will never come back here. Anyway, she and Niu Tieguang didn't get a marriage certificate, so her life can start over.
Upon hearing about this Workers-Peasants-Soldiers University, everyone had their own little scheme in mind.
One of the bolder educated youths asked the brigade leader, "What are the requirements for university admission?"
This question resonated with many people. There's only one spot available, but too many people want it, making it unfair to give it to anyone.
The captain pondered for a moment before saying, "I've thought about this for a long time too. The requirements are that you usually perform well and haven't made any fundamental mistakes. Of course, that's only one aspect. There's also an exam, which will be held in town. Anyone who wants a spot can sign up, and whoever gets the highest score will get in."
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhaodi looked at the village secretary, as if to say, "Didn't you say the spot was for me?"
Why do we still need everyone to take exams?
The village secretary didn't even glance at her.
Although she was anxious, she patiently listened. Perhaps the village secretary had already made arrangements, and this was just a formality to put on a good show.
She cannot afford to lose her composure.
"Alright, those who want to attend the Workers-Peasants-Soldiers University, register now."
The educated youth, along with a few other villagers who had attended school, all went to the brigade leader to register.
Chen Shengnan hesitated. Actually, she wanted to go, after all, it was a worker-peasant-soldier university!
Before she could take two steps, Su Li pulled her aside.
Don't go.
As she spoke, Su Li leaned close to her ear and said, "I heard from relatives in the South Province that the college entrance examination may be reinstated after the New Year."
Chen Shengnan's eyes widened; "Are you serious?"
"I'm not entirely sure, but it's pretty close. My relative works for the Education Bureau. But you absolutely must keep this a secret! If it gets out, it could implicate my relative."
Chen Shengnan nodded; "Su Li, don't worry, I will definitely not tell anyone."
Su Li only told her such important news because she considered her a friend, so she couldn't let her get hurt.
Gu Huanian, with his sharp ears and eyes, overheard the entire whispered conversation between the two.
He did know someone from the education bureau, who had hinted that the college entrance examination might be reopened.
However, the statement was very precise and not confirmed.
How did Su Li find out about something as important as the college entrance exam?
She said she had relatives in the education department, but it was impossible for people in the southern province to know about these things.
Currently, only a very small number of people in Beijing are speculating about this.
Su Li patted Chen Shengnan on the shoulder and said, "Alright, of course I believe you."
"Fortunately, we haven't fallen behind in our studies during this time. If the college entrance examination is really opened up next year, we will definitely be able to pass it."
Chen Shengnan nodded, thinking that Su Li had foresight. If Su Li hadn't been encouraging her to study, she wouldn't have been able to pass the college entrance examination even with her current grades.
Upon hearing this, Gu Huanian felt even more impressed with Su Li. Not only did she know about the upcoming college entrance examination, but she had also studied for so long in advance. Just who was she?
After the meeting, the captain dismissed everyone.
Gu Huanian followed Su Li toward her house. Su Li had also invited Chen Shengnan, but Chen Shengnan ran away faster than a rabbit.
When they reached a deserted road, Gu Huanian directly took Su Li's small hand.
Su Li smiled at him; "Oh, Battalion Commander Gu, aren't you afraid of the negative impact if others see this?"
Gu Huanian squeezed her hand, and seeing that no one was around, pulled her into his arms.
"Ah Li, you have no idea how much I love you. Let's be together forever, okay?"
Su Li nodded; "Okay."
After returning home, Su Li thought about the scarf she had been knitting the night before, which was still half-finished.
She went into the room and took the items out of her storage space.
In the main room, she chatted with Gu Huanian while knitting.
He noticed she was already wearing a red scarf around her neck; the one she was wearing was knitted in blue.
He had a bold idea: Could this have been knitted for him by Ah Li?
Looking at the woman knitting a scarf, her eyes and brows full of smiles, Gu Huanian felt extremely at ease at this moment.
Time always flies when the two of them are together, and Su Li's scarf was soon finished.
Gu Huanian could have left at 2 PM, but he waited for Su Li's scarf to be finished.
She put away the needles, looked at Gu Huanian and said, "Stand up."
Gu Huanian obediently stood up. Su Li tiptoed, wrapped the scarf around his neck, and said with a smile, "Looks good."
Gu Huanian pulled her into his arms and said, "Ali, I love it. This is the first gift you've ever given me, and I will cherish it."
"Well, I don't give things away easily. If I find out you've given something to someone else, I won't give it to anyone again."
Gu Huanian smiled and said, "No, I'll keep whatever you gave me forever."
He cupped Su Li's face in his hands and kissed her forehead. "I'm leaving. See you next year. After I leave, don't look for any male confidants. Wait for me, okay?"
Su Li nodded and handed him the nuts she had prepared earlier. Last time he left too quickly and didn't have time, so she had prepared them well in advance this time.
