From Beijing to Qinghe Village, I then went to Shanghai.
The round trip took five days, but thankfully the child didn't cry or fuss. He seemed quite excited about the train ride and can now sleep through the night. He's also very excited during the day and falls asleep as soon as he's tired from playing.
Finally, after half a month.
We're back in Beijing.
I went out for a walk during the hottest part of the day, and when I came back, Beijing had already entered autumn.
October 1977.
Lin Yuxi started to feel nervous about going to work, so she kept reading in the car.
"I brought you some breakfast and fruit, eat it while it's hot." Gao Kangcheng sat down next to her, glanced at the book cover, and said, "You've been working for months, and you're reading every day."
Lin Yuxi took the breakfast. "Thank you, Engineer Gao. But I've already eaten. I'll just soak it in hot water later and have it as a morning tea."
She put the fruit in her pocket and flipped through a book containing her own pencil-annotated notes.
“Eating more is a blessing. You’re so thin, you need to eat more,” Gao Kangcheng said.
Lin Yuxi has been reading every morning and evening lately. The data from the scientific research data center has basically passed through her hands once it reaches her, and the remaining settlement and accounting are completed by Gao Kangcheng and his team.
Even though we're always right, we can't let our guard down.

When Gao Kangcheng brought the news to the team, the entire office fell silent for a moment.
For a moment, everyone's faces froze in shock.
"Did I hear that right?"
"The college entrance examination has been reinstated?"
"The college entrance exam?"
"Has the college entrance examination really been reinstated?"
Everyone felt a tap on their numb bodies, and their blood boiled with excitement.
"High-level engineer, is it really the college entrance exam?" Everyone crowded around Gao Kangcheng, chattering excitedly.
The crowd surrounded Gao Kangcheng, who felt his ears were about to explode. He quickly raised the official document in his hand and waved it upwards, shouting, "Don't push! Everyone gets a share! Don't push, or the document will fall off!"
At a time like this, who can remain calm?
No one expected that the college entrance examination would be reinstated.
