Because it was April, Jiang Manyue's confinement period was much more comfortable than her previous one. At least she didn't get so hot that she broke out in prickly heat all over her body.
When Xiao Si'er was five months old, a major event happened in the country, an event that changed the fate of many people.
On this day, Li Guifen was mopping the floor while listening to the radio broadcast. Jiang Manyue was holding Xiao Si'er beside her when they heard the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination on the radio.
"What do you mean? The college entrance exam has been reinstated? I can take the college entrance exam now, and I don't need to be recommended to go to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University anymore?"
Before Li Guifen understood, Jiang Manyue's eyes had already lit up.
As expected, the college entrance examination was resumed in the winter of that year. In fact, the day of notification of the resumption of the college entrance examination was less than two months away from the actual college entrance examination, and the review task was extremely tight.
The news quickly spread across the country, and many people were excited, but also deeply worried about it.
I haven't touched a book for so many years, and now the college entrance examination is coming up. How much can I review in less than two months?
Fortunately, Jiang Manyue was well prepared. She had read the review materials countless times, and she was very confident about the college entrance examination.
"Mom, please take care of these kids for the next two months. I want to take the college entrance exam and need to study hard."
Li Guifen was stunned. Why was Jiang Manyue also taking the college entrance examination? She was already a mother, and she still wanted to go to college?
"Manyue, Mom remembers that you only studied in junior high school, right? How did you get into college?"
Li Guifen has a good memory. Jiang Manyue did indeed only study in junior high school, and she dropped out of school before finishing junior high school, so she can only be considered a junior high school dropout.
However, Jiang Manyue did get a junior high school diploma. At that time, the academic management was not strict, and almost anyone who could finish the second year of junior high school could get a diploma.
"Mom, not going to high school doesn't mean I haven't learned anything. I've been reading books all these years. I even consulted the educated youth who went to the countryside with our team before. They said I have a good chance of getting into university."
Jiang Manyue was very confident. She had been admitted to a key university in her previous life. Now she had seized the initiative and had reviewed for two or three years in advance. She didn't believe that she would not be able to get into a university.
Li Guifen didn't quite understand, but still went with Jiang Manyue.
It's just a college entrance exam anyway. If she fails, she will just give up.
Jiang Manyue began her intensive review. Tang Zhenyi also specially sent her several reference books, among which the political books were carefully selected by her.
These books really touched Jiang Manyue's heart. For her, politics was definitely her biggest weakness.
The political thoughts of later generations are very different from those of the present era, and Jiang Manyue doesn't know much about the political thoughts of this era. If she takes the exam like this, she probably won't get many points.
In the college entrance examination of this era, it is necessary to meet the requirements in politics. If the political score is not up to standard, no matter how well you do in other subjects, you will not be able to go to university.
Jiang Manyue was very grateful to Tang Zhenyi for this and gave her a lot of good things in return.
With Tang Zhenyi's reference books, Jiang Manyue studied more seriously and often read with the desk lamp on in the middle of the night.
Lu Lin felt sorry for her, but the time for the college entrance examination was really too tight, and he had no choice but to hope that Jiang Manyue could get good grades and not let her efforts for so long go to waste.
In the blink of an eye, the weather turned cold and the college entrance examination was getting closer.
In the days leading up to the college entrance examination, Jiang Manyue did not spend too much time reviewing, but instead relaxed herself.
She was also afraid that if the string was too tight, it would backfire.
After resting at home for a few days, the college entrance examination officially began.
On the day of the exam, Lu Lin specially set aside time in the morning to send Jiang Manyue to the exam room.
"Don't be nervous, just do your best. You studied so hard, you'll definitely pass."
Lu Lin cheered Jiang Manyue at the door and watched her enter the examination room.
There were a lot of people in the examination room where Jiang Manyue was, and it took her a while to find her seat.
Sitting in her seat, Jiang Manyue felt a special feeling in her heart.
This was not her first time taking the college entrance examination, but it was her first time taking the college entrance examination in the 1970s.
This was the first national college entrance examination after it had been stagnant for ten years. Those who could successfully pass the examination and enter university would all become top talents in the future.
Jiang Manyue looked around. The people present here would be her grandparents in the future.
Today she is at the same starting line as these people. She not only hopes that she can successfully get into college, but also hopes that they can all realize their dreams.
As the bell rang, the invigilator handed out the test papers. Jiang Manyue suppressed her other emotions, picked up her pen and began to answer the questions with concentration.
The first subject was Chinese, which was not difficult for Jiang Manyue. She wrote very quickly without any obstruction.
The exam lasted two hours. Jiang Manyue wrote very quickly. When she finished answering the questions and writing the composition, she looked at the watch and found that only an hour and a half had passed.
Jiang Manyue checked it carefully and after making sure there were no mistakes, she chose to hand in the paper early.
The weather was quite cold. Although she was wearing warm clothes, she was still very cold sitting in the classroom answering questions. Since she had finished answering the questions, she was too lazy to sit there and kill time.
After finishing this exam, the next course would not start until the afternoon, so there was plenty of time. Jiang Manyue took a bus directly back home and planned to have lunch before going to the exam room.
During lunch, Li Guifen really wanted to ask her how she did on the exam, but she didn't dare to ask, for fear that she would be suspicious. She could only pick up some food for her and told her to eat more so that she could study hard for the exam in the afternoon.
Lu Lin didn't think too much about it. He asked while eating, "How was your test this morning? Did you answer all the questions?"
Jiang Manyue nodded heartlessly, "I answered them all. The questions were quite simple. I even handed in my paper early and was the first one to leave the exam room."
Lu Lin smiled and said, "As long as you can answer it, I'll take you there this afternoon, right?"
Jiang Manyue swallowed the food in her mouth and shook her head. "No need. I can take the bus. You can go and do your own thing. I still have three exams to take. You don't have to send me off every day. Just go in the morning to show your appreciation."
Lu Lin didn't force her, but just told her to be careful on the road and to call his office if anything happened.
Jiang Manyue nodded to indicate that she understood. After finishing her meal and taking a short rest, she went out to take the exam again.
The afternoon exam was about math, which Jiang Manyue was not very good at, but the math questions in the college entrance exams in the 1970s were much less difficult than those she had taken that year. Most of them were basic questions, and Jiang Manyue answered them very smoothly.
However, other candidates in the examination room did not answer the questions so smoothly. Mathematics is not an easy subject, and they have not encountered math problems for many years. With less than two months of review time, there are still many things that they cannot review.
