Chapter 265 The Train to Spring
The wait is full of anticipation and a little anxiety.
Since the exam ended in early October, there have been no official reference answers or original papers.
Everyone can only rely on memory, write down the answers, and come back to estimate their own scores.
Unlike later generations who filled in their applications after knowing their scores, the current method is to fill in applications before the exam.
After careful consideration and filling out the form carefully, Gao Xiulan and several of her aunts also followed when she sent the volunteer registration form over.
Guan Lamei was holding a thick stick in her hand, waving it from time to time.
Passersby looked at him strangely when they saw this scene, and shrank to the side.
In fact, it is also like a bet, and it all depends on your heartbeat.
Some lucky ones may perform exceptionally well, but their previous choices were too conservative, and they end up sighing with regret.
But now key universities have priority in admissions, as long as the scores are good enough.
Even if you don't apply to this school, you can still be admitted.
Some unlucky people may fail due to various factors, but they had previously filled in higher choices, so they regret it and have to start all over again.
After the exam, everyone sat in the room that Lao Xia had previously vacated as a study room and compared their answers with each other.
Lin Xiaotong felt that except for politics, where she was mediocre, she did basically fine in the other three subjects.
I thought carefully before filling out the application form and did not act rashly.
I selected several goals based on my interests and academic performance, and finally chose the law major at Kyoto University.
She studied this major in her previous life. Now that she has the chance to study in a higher institution again, why not seize it?
A better university is a springboard that will expose you to more opportunities.
The college students of this era are of very high value.
The first thing was to change the household registration from agricultural to non-agricultural, which was extremely important at the time. Urban household registration meant that one could receive the allowance on time every month.
Furthermore, their status changes, and they are guaranteed jobs after graduation, with most of them getting stable jobs.
Moreover, your life is guaranteed during college, and the state will provide a basic subsidy every month.
There is a saying that goes, even if you don’t consider yourself an elite, society will still treat you as a chosen one.
After careful consideration, Xie Yi chose to apply to the Department of Political Science at Peking University.
At this time, literature, history and philosophy majors are very popular, but he decided to choose a slightly unconventional one.
He looked at Lin Xiaotong's score and showed admiration.
He Cuicui looked at the estimated score on the paper, bit her finger, thought it over again and again, and finally decided to apply for the medical major.
Er Nengzi came over. His score was lower than He Cuicui's, so he simply chose engineering as his major.
Xia Yue decided to apply to the Academy of Arts and Crafts because she wanted to study painting.
Zhou Zhiwen was calculating the distance from the school to his home and how long it would take him to get there by bike.
Donggua and Qian Yu were of similar ability. Seeing that their scores were far below expectations, they decided to choose agronomy as their major.
These days felt particularly long, and Gao Xiulan and the others sat together and whispered from time to time.
Gao Xiulan waved her hand: "How long has it been since the exam? There's still no news."
Guan Lamei finished her snack, wiped her mouth, and said:
"Yeah, it's already January, so the papers should have been graded by now, right?"
Jin Qiaofeng was so anxious recently that her mouth was irritated. "Big Mouth, does your Zhixi have any way to get any information?"
Zhang Dazui touched his arm and said unhappily:
"The eldest and his wife live directly on campus. They haven't been home for a long time. How could they know any gossip?"
"It's out, it's out, the minimum admission score is 260!"
This time, some candidates passed the four subjects with a total score of 240 points, accounting for 20% of the total number of candidates.
Wu Shengli rushed in, bent over, holding his knees and gasping for breath.
"The call for the physical examination has arrived. All the children in our compound need to go for the checkup!"
Xie Da Jiao ran in behind.
Everyone in the house rushed out like a swarm of bees, and they were all very happy.
The results of the current exams are not announced, and being able to take the physical examination means that you have qualified.
Lin Xiaotong had a smile on her face and held Xie Yi's hand tightly.
He met the eyes of the girl in Gao Xiulan's arms, stepped forward to take the girl, held her in his arms, and kissed her hard.
Xie Yi showed his big teeth and his eyes were almost wide open from laughing.
Roar, roar, he should be able to come back to college this time.
That’s great! All the time I spent doing the papers every night wasn’t in vain.
Erlangzi didn't care about teasing anymore, he only had one thought in his mind:
Oh my goodness, he crossed the line!
I must go to his father's place someday to see if there is smoke coming out of his ancestral grave.
"Is this true?"
Yang Shujuan felt that the news was a little unreal and held on to the door frame and walked slowly.
"It's more real than gold. I even ran into Ma Baoguo on the way back and made sure everyone in our compound was there!"
Wu Shengli was so anxious that he jumped up and down.
Diao Yulian kicked him on the butt: "You are shouting so loudly, everyone outside can hear you."
For such a good thing, it’s not too late to show off after you get the admission letter after the physical examination. It’s always better to be cautious.
"Can't you be a little gentler, bitch?"
Wu Shengli bared his teeth, but Wu Jiabao didn't give his father any face at all and just laughed happily.
…
In early January 1978, Lin Xiaotong and several other people went to a designated hospital for a physical examination.
I found that there are relatively few young graduates, and most of them are educated youth who went to the countryside from the third batch.
None of the students who had previously boasted that the test paper was easy had seen it.
Monday, February 6, 1978, New Year’s Eve.
Today’s New Year’s Eve dinner is so noisy, so why not each family contribute two dishes and we can just get together and have a good time.
After the New Year, when Gao Xiulan and a few others had nothing to do, they would run to the post office to wait for first-hand news.
Finally, on February 20, 1978, Lin Xiaotong received the first batch of admission notices.
Tear open the shell and you will find a plain piece of paper inside.
It has your name, admitted major, and department written on it, and is stamped with a bright red school seal.
"We have to report on February 28th, which is only a few days away.
Old Xie, come over here and help clean up, stop being so silly."
…
A few days later, several admission letters flew into the compound one after another.
Ernengzi received an admission letter from Beijing Iron and Steel Institute, while He Cuicui was admitted to Beijing Second Medical College.
Jin Qiaofeng was so happy that she couldn't sleep all night and got up early the next day.
She found a place secretly and told the man Chang Dafa below about this happy event.
Xia Yue got what she wanted and received the admission letter from the Academy of Arts and Crafts. Yang Shujuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Qian Yu and Donggua received admission letters from Beijing Agricultural College and became classmates.
Guan Lamei and Yu Afen sat together, discussing what to bring when reporting.
So many college students suddenly appeared in the compound, and people came in batches from the entrance to the end of the alley.
Gao Xiulan and the others were so busy greeting people that they didn't even have time to move their feet, and their faces were almost frozen from smiling.
Lin Xiaotong and her classmates' study materials were also divided up, and even their draft papers were taken away.
My aunt's family of three also came, and Wei Jianyuan generously gave his promising niece several big unity tickets secretly.
This was his pocket money that he had saved for a year.
Jing Qian discussed with her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law whether they should take back the small courtyard at Peking University so that the young couple could go to school as a day student and it would be more convenient for them to take care of the children.
After all, Peking University is quite far away from the campus, and it takes a long time to get there by bike or bus.
Even Ma Baoguo from the street office came over happily and delivered the scholarship.
He is so lucky to be the director of this area!
As more and more people came, the third uncle also had happy troubles.
He cleans the toilet more frequently than ever before. Tell me, this is the cause of this trouble!
…
Xie Yi received the admission letter from Peking University on the island. He rubbed it on his pants twice before opening it.
The people around stretched their necks, vying to watch the fun like giraffes.
"Hey, why is it the Economics Department?"
Xie Yi took a closer look at the notice and saw that it was indeed his name written on it.
But how did the major change from the Department of Political Science to the Department of Economics?
"Don't let your imagination run wild, brother. Just be content with the fact that you can go to college."
Xiongchuan touched his arm from the side.
In February 1978, 9,555 candidates from Beijing were admitted to universities.
People from all over the motherland boarded the train from spring.
