The resumption of the college entrance examination is the dream of many scholars. Being admitted to a university not only means being able to return to the city and escape from day-to-day farm work, but also means changing one's destiny.
For a time, people were in a state of uncertainty, and everyone was so shocked by the news that they had no intention of going to work.
Liu Hua and Yang Lili were thankful that their child was born at the right time, which would not delay their review and exams. Liu Li and Xu Meili were thankful that they were not pregnant, which allowed them to concentrate on preparing for the college entrance examination.
Some of the old educated youth who have already settled down in the village are feeling mixed emotions at this moment.
Because the learning atmosphere at the Hongsheng Village Youth League site has always been very strong, almost everyone has a set of textbooks, and only a few people need to collect textbooks temporarily.
If you can bring yourself to do it, you can basically borrow all the items from the educated youth points.
Chen Meizhi was the type of person who could easily lose face. She had borrowed books from almost everyone at the educated youth camp, even Xu Manman had lent her a copy. However, the book Xu Manman had lent to her was one she had found at a scrap yard.
Fortunately, the busy farming season has passed, and the village cadres also know that the college entrance examination is of great importance. Although they did not give people a holiday directly, they also compiled a list of people who would take the college entrance examination in advance.
Not only did these people reduce their workload, but the village chief also instructed that they could leave work early as long as they completed their daily tasks.
In this way, if you shorten your lunch break during the day, you can basically finish work and review around 3 o'clock.
Wan Fang now goes to work directly with her child on her back, and the villagers take special care of her. After consulting her, they assigned her to the pig grass-cutting team.
Seeing this, Li Min actually tried to fight for it. After all, if the pig grass was cut quickly, it could be finished in the morning.
But he was directly pushed back by their team leader. Li Min is no longer the person who was angry and complained when he first arrived. After all, he is a man who has experienced the hardships of life. Seeing that this road is blocked, he can only continue to work in the fields with difficulty.
At the end of October, Chen Ming came with a lot of bags.
"Did your family send so many things this time?"
Chen Ming shook the two solid packages in his right hand and said, "I picked these up from the commune today. One was sent by Uncle Xu, and the other is for our family."
"Then why did you bring so much, cousin? What are the rest?"
"I've asked for leave from the village. I'm going to concentrate on studying for the college entrance exam. From now on, I'll be living here. These are the luggage I brought back. I'll put them in the big house. I'll make another trip later to bring back some food."
"Is your village chief so reasonable?" She thought that Hongsheng Village's strategy was already very good.
Chen Ming put the things on the kang first. "I told you, if the work points are not enough this year, I will make up for it with money. Many people in our educated youth camp do this, so I won't be a big problem."
Xu Manman curled her lips, "No wonder, but we don't need to ask for leave here. The village chief has also tried his best to arrange the review time every day.
It would be a good idea for you to stay here, I can help you find out what you are missing."
Chen Ming nodded, "Then I'll go tell Zhao Xin."
"Go ahead. I have to go to work after taking a break."
Chen Ming was used to living in the educated youth camp, so Xu Manman had nothing to worry about. She went to work as usual in the afternoon. When she got off work in the afternoon, her cousin had already steamed the buns.
But he is not at the educated youth site. He must have gone to the mountains to collect firewood.
After she finished cooking, Chen Ming had not returned yet. Xu Manman went out to visit the back mountain and bumped into Xue Mingxin who was about to enter the courtyard at the gate.
Xue Mingxin looked at her and stepped aside. Xu Manman lowered her head and walked quickly towards the back mountain.
Ever since Chen Ming and Xue Mingxin had their "chat", Xue Mingxin had not contacted her. The two of them had no further communication, as if they had returned to their initial unfamiliar state.
However, this seemingly normal atmosphere made Xu Manman feel even more uncomfortable, but it also made her feel relieved. She believed that her ability was average, and if it happened a few more times, even if she was unrequited in love, she might not be able to withstand it.
When Banxu Manman was halfway there, she ran into Chen Ming who was returning with a load of firewood.
"Manman."
"Cousin, the meal is ready, come back quickly."
Chen Ming quickly stepped forward, approached Xu Manman, and whispered, "I found a place on the back mountain with a lot of rabbit droppings and dug a few traps. Maybe we can eat rabbits tomorrow."
"Aren't you here to review? There's no need to bother with all this. I've been working with Liu Hua and the others these days and have gotten a lot of good things. I even made crucian carp soup today."
"Just dig a few traps. It's easy. I know what I'm doing."
