Chapter 346 Registered
Although Lizhan knew that this was only a short separation, he was used to being with her day and night, and he still felt a little uncomfortable for a while.
In the past, he went out on missions every day and Xia Juanjuan would wait for him at home. Now, he has also experienced the feeling of waiting impatiently.
Xia Juanjuan smiled and said, "You are already good. I finished my exams, waited for the results in January, went for a physical examination, and applied for my volunteer position. I was back in February at the latest. I was waiting for you at home at that time, but I didn't even know when you would come back."
Li Zhan chuckled and couldn't help but say, "But even if you come back in February, if you pass the exam, you can enroll in school in March. In fact, you just come back and bring the children and parents back."
Xia Juanjuan thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case.
Once she leaves tomorrow, she will only have a few days left to return and live in this small courtyard on the island.
Think about this home here. When she first came here, it was also bare, and she filled it up and decorated it bit by bit.
I felt a little sad.
Seeing that she was suddenly sad, Li Zhan gently held her in his arms and said with a smile: "Is it okay if I said something wrong? Why are you crying? Don't worry. Even if we move away later, we can always come back whenever we want."
Xia Juanjuan punched him lightly and said, "I'm not crying."
Early the next morning, Xia Juanjuan was afraid that the triplets would cry if they saw her leaving, so she got up in the dark, washed up, kissed the three little guys on the face while they were sleeping, then went to Xiaowen, Xiaowu and Beibei's room, gave them a few instructions, and left with her luggage.
Xia Shuangshan and Lin Yuru had to look after several children at home and make breakfast, so they didn't send Xiaowen, Xiaowu and Beibei to school.
Li Zhan carried her luggage and sent her to the dock, then hugged her tightly and said, "Be careful on the road. Send me a telegram when you arrive."
Xia Juanjuan nodded and got on the boat.
It was still a calm day, with a bright sun, a rarity in winter, but the weather was surprisingly cold.
However, Xia Juanjuan was reluctant to go into the cabin. She would see the boundless blue sea less and less.
But after watching for only ten minutes, Xia Juanjuan returned to the cabin, hugging her shoulders, feeling as cold as a monkey.
She must be crazy to be so pretentious. She has her own space. Can't she come to the beach whenever she wants?
If I had known earlier that I shouldn’t have taken the boat, it would have been much better to teleport directly from the island back to Beijing!
After the boat arrived at the pier on land, Xia Juanjuan found a deserted place and went directly back to her house in Tonghua Lane in the county through space.
Then returned to Qingshui Village from the county.
The villagers were also quite surprised to see Xia Juanjuan come back.
Xia Juanjuan visited Aunt Wu's house, Secretary Zhao's daughter-in-law Wu Xiaoyun's house, and Li Jie's house.
Her space was stocked with island specialties such as dried fish and scallops. She gave some to each family and they chatted for a while.
Then I went to see Yang Qiushi.
When Yang Qiushi saw Xia Juanjuan, he was so excited that he choked up several times.
"Juanjuan, when did you come back? Where are Lizhan and the children?"
Xia Juanjuan smiled and said, "They are still on the island. Master, I brought you some local specialties, keep them for yourself."
Yang Qiushi nodded continuously and said, "Hey! But why did you suddenly come back to the village this time? Didn't your parents go to the island?"
Xia Juanjuan told Yang Qiushi that she was planning to apply for college.
Yang Qiushi was also surprised when he heard this. But when he thought about it, his apprentice was asking him questions about difficult ancient Chinese medical books. Most ordinary people would not even recognize the words in those words, but Xia Juanjuan could understand them. It was not surprising that she was going to take the college entrance examination.
"Good! It's a good thing that the country has reinstated the college entrance examination. So many things have been delayed in the past ten years!"
Xia Juanjuan also sighed. Looking at Yang Qiushi's gray hair, she felt sorry for him. She whispered, "Master, just hold on for a while. You can even take the college entrance exam now. You will be able to return to the city soon! And Aunt Shen will be able to return soon too."
Yang Qiushi sighed and said, "Alas! I can only hope that it can be like this."
After chatting with Yang Qiushi for a while, Xia Juanjuan returned to her home and went to look for Secretary Zhao again.
After the announcement of the resumption of the college entrance examination, the village loudspeakers began to broadcast the good news in a loop, and the educated youth center in Qingshui Village was in an uproar, with everyone talking about it.
Therefore, Secretary Zhao has been very busy these days. Every day, educated youth come to inquire about the situation, asking whether they can register and when they can register. Some even ask for leave and go directly to the registration point in the county to inquire about the situation themselves.
When Xia Juanjuan passed by, Secretary Zhao was waving his hands to quiet down the noisy crowd, and said loudly:
"Everyone is anxious to know the specific details, whether the commune will block you from registering. Today I will give everyone a reassurance. I don't care about other communes, but in our commune, as long as you want to apply, whether you are an educated youth or a farmer, the commune will definitely not block you! I have already asked the county, and the registration period in Hebei Province is from November 1st to 10th, a period of ten days. Today happens to be the first day. Everyone can bring their own documents and come to me to get the registration form. The commune will register for everyone, or everyone can go directly to the county town to submit it. I will approve anyone who asks for leave to register!"
These words inspired everyone. One of the educated youth shouted "Great!" and everyone started clapping their hands enthusiastically.
When most of the people had left, Xia Juanjuan walked over and said with a smile, "Secretary Zhao, please give me a registration form as well."
Secretary Zhao looked up and saw that it was Xia Juanjuan. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Li Zhan's daughter-in-law? Yesterday I heard from my daughter-in-law that you were back. Are you going to take the college entrance examination too?"
Xia Juanjuan smiled and said, "Yeah. I've been idle these past few years, so I asked my brother to help me find textbooks from elementary school to high school. I studied on my own for a while, and I wanted to give it a try."
Secretary Zhao was well-educated himself, and was very excited about the country's policy. He nodded and said, "Great! It's a good thing to go to college! Here's the application form. Do you want the commune to pay for it, or do you pay it yourself?"
Xia Juanjuan smiled and said, "I came back just to register, and I'm leaving tomorrow. I'll go to the county town and hand it in myself tomorrow."
Secretary Zhao nodded and instructed, "That's fine! There's still more than a month left, so you can't slack off now. Review more!"
Xia Juanjuan agreed and came out.
The next day, she went to the registration point in the county and handed in the registration form. The long queue for registration even scared Xia Juanjuan.
But think about it. After a 10-year hiatus, there are 5.7 million candidates taking the exam this year, so this is the lightest of all.
After registering, Xia Juanjuan went directly to Beijing.
