Lu Yiming ran the cram school very successfully, and the college entrance examination materials he compiled were also printed in an orderly manner.
On October 21, 1978, major domestic media outlets announced the resumption of the college entrance examination, which would be held nationwide between November 28 and December 25. The Beijing college entrance examination would be held on December 10.
The system adopted was voluntary registration, a unified examination, and admission based on merit. This news caused an uproar across the country, with many people weeping with joy.
Su Yan knew that more than 5.7 million people registered for the college entrance examination nationwide, and colleges and universities enrolled a total of 273,000 new students. Less than 5% of them were able to enter universities and technical secondary schools.
It would be really difficult to get in if your grades weren't outstanding. Fortunately, Lu Yiming had excellent grades to begin with, and he had studied at home for a year, so he naturally had an advantage.
After donating 500 out of 3,000 sets of examination materials to the disaster area, they were sold out in less than half a month. Su Yan then went to the printing factory to print another 5,000 sets. She made a lot of money and donated another 1,000 sets of review materials to the students in the disaster area.
Su Yan earned 15,000 to 16,000 yuan just by selling these learning materials. She agreed to give half of the money to her son. Su Yan saved the money separately and would give it to her son when he went to study abroad.
Su Yan went to the printing factory and bookstore a few times, and relied on Lu Yiming's teachers and classmates to help sell the rest. Lu Yiming had many friends, and he tried every means to consign the review materials he compiled to bookstores.
The review materials they donated to the disaster area were also recognized by the higher authorities, and many schools came to them to purchase them, so they naturally sold out quickly.
The day of the exam finally arrived. Lu Ting took a day off and went with Su Yan to send Lu Yiming to the exam room.
Lu Yu and Lu Chen felt that they were born at the wrong time. If there had not been a big movement, they would have graduated from university. Now that the college entrance examination has been resumed, they have no chance. Even if they had a chance, they would not waste the time to take the college entrance examination again.
In January, Lu Yiming received an admission letter from Peking University. Although the results of the college entrance examination were not announced this time, Lu Fengnian still learned about his eldest grandson's test results from other sources.
He didn't expect that his eldest grandson was so capable and achieved a good result of third place in the city.
He called Lu Ting over and said, "I've checked Yiming's grades, and he said he's received his acceptance letter as well. Shouldn't we throw him a few tables to celebrate? Since you're turning 40 this year and haven't had a wedding banquet yet, we might as well do one together."
"Dad, let's have a dinner at the courtyard before the New Year. We can invite my uncle, second uncle, third uncle, and Yanyan's family over. By the way, we'll still celebrate the New Year at our house this year."
Yanyan said she wanted to invite them to spend the New Year in the courtyard for three years, and of course not one year less, as they really needed more people to come to Wangwang's house.
"Is this New Year's celebration at your house again? That must cost a lot of money, right?"
"Dad, Yiming and Yanyan made a lot of money selling study materials, so you don't have to worry about this."
"Before, I wanted Yiming to join the army, but now that he's been admitted to Beijing University, I think this is a good idea. Xiaoyan is really insightful and let Yiming review in advance."
If he hadn't reviewed in advance, with so many candidates this time, his Yiming might have only been able to get into an ordinary university.
Not only did his eldest grandson get into a prestigious university, he also made a fortune from the college entrance examination. However, his savings were still less than what his grandson earned from selling information.
I heard that they also donated 1,500 sets of study materials to the disaster-stricken areas to help candidates. Among the students who took extra classes in their cram school, four were admitted to universities, eight were admitted to junior colleges, and only fifteen failed.
There are so many candidates this year, and only one is admitted from a hundred. His eldest grandson and the teachers in the cram school have made great contributions to the success of so many students in the cram school.
"I also plan to send the triplets back to the city to study. My son Yi'an successfully skipped a grade this semester and is now in fifth grade. He will be able to enter the first grade of junior high school next September."
"Are Yining and Yirou's grades bad? Why didn't they skip a grade?"
"His grades were just okay. Yining was smart and had never thought about skipping a grade. His grades fluctuated. On his best days, he could be first in the class, but on his worst days, he could only be seventh. He didn't even get the "Three Good Students" award.
Yirou never thought about skipping a grade from the beginning to the end, nor did she take the grade-skipping exam, saying that she couldn't bear to leave her classmates.
The three children were placed in three different classes. Yian was previously in the top two of his class and the top four in his grade. Later, he worked hard and ranked first in his grade last semester. He also successfully passed the grade-skipping exam he applied for.
At this point, Lu Ting laughed out of anger. He didn't know who his Yining looked like. He was so free and easy. If he was more serious, it would be no problem for him to skip a grade.
And Yirou is so well-behaved that she actually refused to take the skipping grade exam because of two of her good friends.
But her two classmates' grades were at the bottom, probably because their brains weren't working well. No matter how Yirou helped them with their studies, they didn't make much progress.
He was really worried that his daughter would suffer when she grew up because of her soft personality. He was so worried!
When Lu Fengnian thought about the three siblings, he suddenly remembered something else. "I heard that a film studio came to the school to recruit young actors and chose these three."
"Yeah, the three of them were so happy when they were chosen."
"Will this interfere with my studies?"
"It's winter vacation now, and the official filming won't start until the first half of next year. We might have to take time off by then, but the teacher promised to help them make up for the missed classes."
"Although your father and I don't want them to become actors in the future, being able to participate in a performance is still a good life experience."
Lu Fengnian thought clearly that it was a good thing for his grandchildren to participate in a performance, but he was naturally unhappy about them giving up their studies for the sake of acting.
But that's all next year's business. The most important thing now is to celebrate for his precious grandson.
"Your grandparents are not very mobile, so they probably can't go far."
"I'll take Yiming and the others to visit their grandparents and bring them some supplements. I hope they can hold on and live another two years."
"I heard that Xiaoyan's grandfather is also unable to move around easily?"
"My father-in-law took Grandpa home to take care of him. He looked pretty good the last time I saw him. I guess my eldest brother-in-law performed well at work and got a promotion. Grandpa is in a good mood, so his health has naturally improved a lot."
My father-in-law is a doctor, so he should know very well how to take care of my grandfather's health.
"I have officially retired now. You have achieved your wish to be promoted to deputy division commander before turning forty in the first half of this year. Our Lu family will depend on you brothers from now on."
"I understand, Dad. We brothers won't embarrass you, and my children won't embarrass the Lu family either."
What's there to be ashamed of? His son and grandson have brought him honor. The only thing that gives him a headache is his daughter. She has already given birth to five children, and now she is pregnant again. The family planning office has talked to her several times.
If I had known she would be like this, I would not have given her any small yellow croaker. She doesn't know how to enjoy her blessings, but instead gives birth to so many children to make herself miserable.
Seeing that Su Yan was living a comfortable life, Chen Yuhe and He Na were no longer in a hurry to have a son. Now only Zhong Lingshan was still looking for a folk remedy to have a son.
