Time flows by like this, and the torrent of history rolls forward. In a short period of time, many things have happened. Two great men have passed away one after another, the gang of villains has been crushed, and the country has entered a chapter of progress...
In October of the following year, an exciting news resounded throughout the motherland. The news of the resumption of the college entrance examination was reported everywhere on the radio, television, and newspapers.
People rushed to tell each other, and the fire of hope ignited in the hearts of countless students. A long line formed in front of the Xinhua Bookstore, and some people even brought stools to sit in line outside the bookstore...
The news came in early October, and the exams were in December. Time was very tight, but everyone's heart was burning with enthusiasm, and everyone's face was filled with expectations for the future...
Lin Yanbai and Gu Xingfan took a special leave and went to the street office to register early, but they still had to wait in line for a long time!
When Grandpa and Aunt Shen knew that they were going to take the college entrance examination, they both gave it their all!
Grandpa even specially got some review materials in triplicate, one for the couple, one for Gao Xing, and one for Lin Chen and Zhong Xinya!
Yes, that’s right, Lin Chen and Zhong Xinya also have to take the college entrance examination. After all, Director Zhong is also a capable man. He asked his daughter and son-in-law to start preparing as soon as he heard the news!
When Yan Bai and his wife were carrying the children back home, they ran into Aunt Zhang at the entrance of the alley. Yes, it was the Aunt Zhang that Xiao Qi loved to watch.
"Oh, the young couple is back? Xingfan, didn't I say that the college entrance examination is a good thing, but it is also selective. Why are you and your wife joining in the fun? What if you don't pass, wouldn't it be embarrassing..."
Obviously, everyone who should know the news that they had registered for the college entrance examination should have known about it. After all, they registered at the street office, and there were so many eyes watching them!
But this lady is really idle and has nothing to do. Who does she think she is?
Gu Xingfan didn't bother to be polite with her and said directly: "It's none of your business!"
After saying that, she held the child and took Yan Bai's hand and walked home.
Being contradicted by a younger generation, Aunt Zhang felt a little embarrassed. She stared at the two people's backs and said angrily: "Bah! With your level, you two still want to go to college? Don't you think you have the fate to do it? I think only my Rourou has the fate to do it..."
Back home, Yan Bai saw that Gu Xingfan's face was still dark, and couldn't help but say, "Why do you care about her? You can't reason with her. The best way to fight back is for us to both get into a good university and make her jealous... Isn't that right, Tiao Tiao Ding Ding?"
The second half of the sentence was said to Tiaotiao and Dingding, who were eating the fruit obediently. The two kids didn't pay attention to what their mother said at all. They just heard their mother asking them, and then they echoed in their baby voices: "Yes!"
"It's great that we're jumping around. Can you help Mommy comfort Daddy?"
Hearing that their mother needed help, the two children rushed to their father's side, each holding one leg...
"Daddy, daddy, don't be sad, play with Tiaotiao..." This is the little cotton-padded jacket Tiaotiao.
"If Dad is sad anymore, Mom will beat you..." This comes from the top of the leaky military coat.
Gu Xingfan laughed: "Okay, okay, Daddy isn't angry anymore, okay?"
Seeing that the task assigned by their mother was completed and their father was no longer angry, the two children immediately abandoned their father like a heartless scumbag and ran to their mother to take credit...
Gu Xingfan: ...These two little brats, their minds are wandering!
"Wife, she said I'm fine, I just don't like what she said about you not passing the exam..."
Yan Bai finally understood the reason for his sullen face and couldn't help but laugh: "What's the big deal? If she says I can't pass the exam, then I can't pass it. How can it be so magical! Besides, the most uncontrollable thing in the world is other people's mouths. Why should we care about her? Just do your own thing..."
Gu Xingfan also understood the truth, but he just didn't like others saying this about her...
Even though there were no mobile phones in that era, news spread very quickly. In just one day, everyone in the factory and the entire compound knew that they were going to take the college entrance examination. After all, they were big names in the factory, and so many people saw them when they registered.
Although Lin Yanbai expected that the truth would eventually come out, she didn't expect the news to spread so quickly. The speed was simply astonishing...
As the news spread, there were also some negative voices in the factory and the compound, saying that the two were just wasting their time.
Lin Yanbai grew up in the countryside and it is said that he never even attended formal school. Although he did quite well in the exams when he got his junior high school diploma, but... who knows how he got those results!
As for Gu Xingfan, although he went to high school, he just spent his days slacking off, sometimes even skipping exams...
Just these two people are going to take the college entrance examination. Most people think they are really dreaming!
The two of them didn't take the outside world's negative comments and pessimism seriously. As Lin Yanbai said, teaching such people a lesson couldn't be easier. Seeing you pass the exam would be more painful than killing them...
However, just because they can tolerate it doesn't mean others can. This is the nth time they have seen their grandfather come back angrily. Every time they ask him what's wrong, he won't tell them. But they have their own ideas in mind. He must have heard something unpleasant from others!
This time was different. Grandpa looked even angrier than usual, his face red with anger. He sat on the sofa and sulked for a long time...
Seeing this, Yan Bai winked at Gu Xingfan, and Gu Xingfan understood and sat next to his grandfather.
"Grandpa, why were you so happy when you went out, but now you have such a long face? Who offended our old leader Gu?"
Grandpa glanced at him unhappily, but ultimately couldn't resist the urge to confide in him: "It's still that old man Luo. Let his grandson take the exam, but he has to praise one and criticize the other. What kind of nonsense is that? His grandson is so skinny, and he's still taking the exam. Isn't he afraid of fainting in the exam room..."
Uh... you can tell he's really angry. Grandpa cursed for a long time, then felt his mouth dry. He drank some water and continued...
"I'm just watching to see if his grandson can pass the exam. I'll tell him that my grandson, grandson's wife, and grandson-in-law will all be college students by then. It will piss him off to death!"
After saying this, he finally felt better. His rationality of running away from home finally returned. He looked at Gu Xingfan in front of him hesitantly, until he felt a little embarrassed before he spoke again:
"You... forget it, just try your best. Yan Bai is so smart, he will definitely pass the exam..."
Gu Xingfan: ...Was he so unreliable in the past that grandpa has so little confidence in him?
Although he said so, Gu Xingfan knew it all too well that his grandfather wanted him to pass the exam. He could never forget the disappointed look in his grandfather's eyes when he gave up his university place...
