Seeing that Qin Fei and Gao Yue's hands looked really pitiful, Chen Suihuan wanted to let them rest at home, but they said they were part of a group and should go together if they wanted to.
"Although we can't move our hands, we can help you carry some things. After all, we are two laborers, so just take us with you!" Gao Yue said.
Seeing that the two of them were determined to go, Chen Suihuan and the others agreed.
A group of people carried backpacks, hemp ropes, hoes and machetes and went up the mountain.
Before going up the mountain, Chen Suihuan and her friends saw quite a few people from the team. It seemed that they were thinking the same thing as Chen Suihuan and her friends, taking advantage of this time to chop wood or look for things.
In fact, in the middle of the mountain there are jujube trees and plum trees, and in the middle there is a large pine forest with many pine cones, and the pine nuts inside the cones are edible.
These places are not deep mountains, so people in the team basically come here, but there are too many people and too little porridge, and if every family comes to pick the fruits, not much can be picked.
The place that Chen Suihuan and her friends were going to was deep in the mountains. People in the large team didn't dare to go to these places, so it was a good opportunity for Chen Suihuan and her friends to go there.
The jujube forest was the closest, so they decided to go there to pick dates first.
The tall jujube trees have branches full of big red jujubes, which are quite beautiful.
On the way, Chen Ye and Dai Wu found a tall and straight tree and chopped it down. Now the two of them worked together to carry the tree and smash the dates, while Chen Suihuan and the others picked them up below.
The jujube forest here was particularly large, and Chen Suihuan and her companions filled five large backpacks with jujubes without any effort. They picked up some more and when they thought it was almost enough, they found a small path to go down the mountain and avoid the people at the foot of the mountain.
They returned home like thieves and put the dates in an empty room. Seeing that it was still early, they went up the mountain again, but this time they were not going to pick dates.
Dates can't be eaten as a meal, so just eating them a little is enough.
Chestnuts can really be eaten as food, so you definitely need to pick more of them.
But picking chestnuts is a painful job, because the green shells with thorns on the outside are not easy to deal with.
So the boys used sticks to knock the chestnuts off, and Chen Suihuan and the other two used the sticks they picked up to knock off the shells on the outside of the chestnuts.
"So this is what chestnuts look like! I thought they grew like this on the inside." Qin Fei curiously looked around a few chestnut trees and then came back and said.
Gao Yue also nodded: "I like the chestnut chicken made by my mother the most. I also thought that chestnuts are like this inside, but I didn't expect that there is still a shell on the outside."
Chen Suihuan said: "There are many things without shells. Walnuts also have a hard shell on the surface."
"It's true that I can learn a lot of knowledge by going to the countryside. When I go back, I will definitely tell my cousins that chestnuts are all in shells!" Qin Fei said with a smile.
When the word "go back" was mentioned, Gao Yue's mood immediately dropped: "Can we really go back? Look at the old educated youth, they have been here for more than eight years, and they still can't go back."
Of course I can go back, and I can go back in two years.
It is now 1955. Chen Suihuan remembers that the college entrance examination was resumed in the winter of 1955, probably in September or January.
Seeing Gao Yue looking a little sad, she must be thinking about her family. Chen Suihuan thought for a while and said, "I heard some rumors at that time. I think the country may resume the college entrance examination!"
"What? Really?" The speaker was Chen Ye. He just wanted to pass on the chestnuts he had picked, but he didn't expect to hear what Chen Suihuan said.
Seeing that it was him, Chen Suihuan had no intention of hiding it and nodded: "Well, didn't I go to the Public Security Bureau a few days ago? I heard it at the door of the Public Security Bureau. I don't know who it was, but it was two older people."
Chen Suihuan was afraid that they would ask more questions, so he just found an excuse.
"What did they say?" They were all educated youth who left their hometowns and came to a foreign land. Who wouldn't want to go home? It was understandable that Chen Ye was so excited.
"They say that the country is now starting to select personnel, and it may not be enough to rely solely on the people from migrant workers' universities. What do you think the country will do to select personnel?" Chen Suihuan asked in return.
Xu Tao and the others heard the noise and came over. They just happened to hear Chen Suihuan ask this question. After thinking about it, they immediately became excited.
Of course it depends on college students!
"I heard that the higher-ups are discussing this matter. I think that in one or two years at most, or two or three years at the latest, the college entrance examination will definitely be restored." Chen Suihuan said firmly.
Xu Tao's eyes lit up: "I think Sui Huan's words make sense, and when I came to the countryside, my grandfather asked me to bring my high school textbooks with me, saying that I might be able to get them."
Xu Tao's family is involved in politics, so the old man might have received some inside information.
When Chen Ye and Gao Yue heard this, they immediately felt hopeful: "Isn't it just two or three years? We can wait. We just have to go back and wait as long as we want."
The most frightening thing about waiting is that there is no end in sight and you are just waiting in vain.
With hope and knowing the approximate date, the waiting will not wear away one's enthusiasm day by day.
"The previous winter was wasted. Now that I know the college entrance examination will be resumed soon, I must learn back all the high school knowledge this winter!" Dai Wu was the first to shout.
Chen Ye agreed: "I don't know where my books are a long time ago, so I have to go to the bookstore in the city to buy some and then we can read them together."
Speaking of books, Chen Suihuan suddenly remembered the magic tool for the college entrance examination, which seemed to be called a series of mathematics, physics and chemistry books. Thinking of this, Chen Suihuan reminded Chen Ye.
After receiving this good news which has not been confirmed yet, Chen Ye and his colleagues were energized as if by chicken blood, and they started working with great enthusiasm.
Gao Yue was no longer sad. While cracking chestnuts, he asked Chen Suihuan and Qin Fei: "If the college entrance examination is resumed, which school do you plan to get into?"
Qin Fei said: "Of course it's Tsinghua University and Peking University!"
The two went to see Chen Suihuan together, but saw that Chen Suihuan was frowning and looked rejecting.
"What's wrong with you?" The two of them asked hurriedly when they saw Chen Suihuan like this?
Chen Suihuan chuckled twice but said nothing.
In her previous life, she hated studying the most. She was okay in Chinese, but when it came to math, physics, chemistry and English, Chen Suihuan had a headache. As a person who could only score in single digits in science, studying would destroy her life.
Therefore, Chen Suihuan thought, she might not take the college entrance examination.
The space is just money, and Chen Suihuan feels that she should not humiliate herself by studying something that requires talent.
Qin Fei and Gao Yue finally realized something. Qin Fei asked cautiously, "You don't want to take the college entrance examination, do you?"
Chen Suihuan nodded: "I will never be able to learn in my life, so I won't embarrass that person."
