Chapter 344: Resuming the College Entrance Examination

In the following days, Xia Juanjuan concentrated on reviewing.

With Lin Yuru and Xia Shuangshan around, a lot of time can be saved on the trivial housework and playing with the triplets.

According to what she knew, the first year the college entrance examination was resumed, it was divided into arts and science. Arts subjects were tested on politics, Chinese, mathematics, history and geography. Science subjects were tested on politics, Chinese, mathematics, physics and chemistry. If you applied for a foreign language major, you had to take an additional foreign language test.

Each province and city also independently sets its own questions based on its own situation.

The full score for each of the four subjects is 100 points, and the additional foreign language test is 50 points, so the total score is 400 to 450 points.

The admission score line was also very low back then, basically cut in half, and 210 points or above would be enough to pass.

However, although the admission score is set relatively low, it is not easy to achieve.

After all, there had been a ten-year gap, and the announcement of the resumption of the college entrance examination was in October, and the examination was in December, which meant that there was only more than a month of review time.

Of course, there are indeed many people like Xia Juanjuan who got the news in advance and started preparing in advance, but there are more people who only found out about it when the time comes.

The age range of the candidates in the first year was very wide, and many of them were already married and had children, so it was impossible for them to devote their full attention to intensive review.

Therefore, out of a total of 5.7 million candidates taking the college entrance examination in the first year, only about 300,000 were finally admitted.

There is still a process for applying for admission, but in order to prioritize the admission rate of key universities, key universities have priority in admission.

In other words, if your score is high enough, you may be admitted even if you did not apply to this university when you filled out your application form.

These are the situations in the world line before the time travel, but it should be similar here.

At least Beijing does have two of the top universities in the country, Peking University and National Tsinghua University.

Xia Juanjuan’s target is naturally Jing Qing.

After all, she had enough time and resources to study, as well as sufficient knowledge reserves. This year's college entrance examination spanned ten years, and the questions were relatively simple, so she must set her goals higher.

She plans to apply for liberal arts.

She will need to use her own space and materials to run her business in the future, so economics, commerce and finance is the major she plans to apply for.

As for foreign languages, her English is pretty good, and there are many original foreign books and audio and video resources in the space, which may even be more comprehensive than the foreign language majors in current universities, so there is no need for her to learn them specifically.

She didn't remember much about physics, chemistry and biology. After graduation, she might be assigned to various research institutes or even go somewhere else, and then she might have to live apart from Lizhan.

Xia Juanjuan's Chinese, math, history and geography were all okay, but politics was the most difficult subject. She didn't even have the idea to review it, so she spent most of her time on this subject.

Time passed quickly on the island. As the capital city that was once located at the foot of the imperial city, naturally many people knew the news.

Everyone rushed to the bookstore to buy textbooks, or lent them to each other, and it was almost impossible to find a book.

These were naturally mentioned in the letter sent by Fu Nanzheng.

Fu Nanzheng then realized belatedly that Xia Juanjuan asked him to buy teaching materials a year ago, perhaps because she had foreseen the current situation?

Books were much easier to buy back then! Many books were sold directly to waste collection stations as waste products. Fu Nanzheng only spent a few dollars to buy all the books there.

Now? You can't find a copy even if you search the junkyard!

Although he was puzzled as to how his sister, who grew up in the countryside, could foresee this, and how could she understand so much content when she should only have the level of elementary school literacy, Fu Nanzheng was still very excited.

Maybe his sister is just smart?

When Xia Juanjuan asked him to find teaching materials, she asked him to find materials from elementary school to high school. It was not surprising that he could master it if he started from the beginning.

Fu Nanzheng also asked in the letter whether Xia Juanjuan would take the exam if the rumors were true.

Xia Juanjuan did not hide it and said yes.

Naturally, Fu Nanzheng told his family immediately. He also said that he was making steady progress and had started learning by himself last year from the primary school textbooks.

Mr. Fu was very happy when Fu Wei was born.

"This girl, after so much difficulty in finding her relatives, ended up running off to the island with that brat Lizhan. As her grandfather, I could only see her once or twice a year. Now, she's coming back to take the exam. If she passes, she'll go to a university in Beijing. Then, the kids will be left at home to help take care of them, just like Yuanchao and Heping..."

Mr. Fu already has a blueprint for the future in mind.

Fu Weixin poured cold water on him: "Dad, what are you thinking? When the time comes, Old Xia and the others will definitely come to Beijing together. Our house is so crowded, where can we live? We must find another house. Besides, you are so old, and Juanjuan must also be concerned about the children being too noisy and affecting your rest. I can see that the little ones will definitely be taken care of by Old Xia and the others."

Mr. Fu glared at him, picked up his walking stick and hit him: "Shut up! Even if I can't take her home, it would be convenient for her to come over occasionally, right? If that doesn't work, I'll move in with my granddaughter."

Fu Weixin said helplessly: "Grandpa, please stop making trouble. Juanjuan still has to go to class, and I have to spare the energy to take care of you. You should stay at home and be looked after by the guards and hygienists."

Fu Nanzheng couldn't help laughing: "Grandpa, Dad, aren't you thinking too far ahead? There's no definite news about whether Juanjuan will pass the college entrance examination, and you're already thinking about what will happen if Juanjuan passes? What if Juanjuan doesn't pass?"

Mr. Fu and Fu Weixin cast cold glances at Fu Nanzheng at the same time.

"What are you talking about? She's my granddaughter, how can she not pass the exam?"

"If Juanjuan really fails the exam, it will ultimately be your fault! She asked you to help her find textbooks last year. Even if you didn't tell her family, you should have helped her study and solve her problems! Now you're worried about her failing the exam. What were you doing before?"

Fu Nanzheng: “…”

Fu Nanzheng: "No, how come you guys are pointing your guns at each other in the blink of an eye?"

Besides, he is not an outsider.

He just wanted to stop them because he saw that the two old men were fighting each other despite their age, so he tried to stop them.

This is a peacemaker!

"I still have a job in Beijing, how can I go there? Besides, Juanjuan never asked me." Fu Nanzheng said.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be so surprised now.

Anyway, everyone is happy.

In October, people all over the country heard the exciting news on the radio that the college entrance examination would be resumed in December!
