After Rong Qing left, Lu Qingyan thought he would have a chance to come back, but she never expected that she would never receive a letter from him again.
Gradually, the people living in the cowshed were all taken away by the visitors and never appeared again.
Until 1977, Lu Qingyan continued to treat patients in the village clinic she ran herself.
That day, Lu Qingyan had just put away the medicine she had prepared when she heard Captain Guo's voice coming from the loudspeaker outside: "...The college entrance examination has resumed...registration..."
Lu Qingyan paused for a moment, then realized what year it was, and smiled.
It's finally time.
Liu Yi was already pregnant with her second child at this time, so she definitely wouldn't be able to take the college entrance examination.
Although she isn't showing yet, even if she wanted to, the Guo family wouldn't allow it.
The former educated youth who had stayed here were almost in tears. They had spent half their lives here and finally got this opportunity.
Upon hearing the news, Zhao Guoan and Cao Bin rushed towards the clinic, calling out, "Educated Youth Lu! Educated Youth Lu!"
Seeing that they were panting heavily from running, Lu Qingyan poured them a glass of water: "Have some water and calm down first. Let's talk slowly."
"Young Master Lu, the notice from above has come down: the college entrance examination has been reinstated." Cao Bin's face turned bright red, perhaps from the wind outside.
“Yes, I heard that too.” Lu Qingyan nodded. “Now that the opportunity has come, and there’s still some time before the exam, you should hurry back and make the most of your time to review. We haven’t been here for very long, so we must still remember a lot of what we’ve learned.”
Cao Bin scratched his head and looked at Zhao Guoan. Zhao Guoan sighed and asked Lu Qingyan, "We know these things, but our family members threw away our books a long time ago. Now, even if we want to read some, we don't know where to find them."
"Is there really no way to help? What did your family members say?"
Zhao Guoan said helplessly, "The news over there was indeed a little earlier than here, but my family didn't take it seriously. By the time they remembered to look for books, most of the usable ones had already been taken. Only this one was left."
As Zhao Guoan spoke, he pulled two books from his pocket. The covers were long gone, and several pages were missing from both. Judging from the contents, one could only guess that it was a foreign language textbook and the other a math textbook.
“I have no use for these two books at all. Even if you brought them to me, they wouldn’t be of any use. So I was thinking that we should take the books we received and borrow each other’s books to look through. What do you think?” Zhao Guoan looked at everyone with hopeful eyes, and his suggestion was naturally agreed upon by everyone.
After all, not everyone can find a book that suits them, and borrowing from each other makes up for this shortcoming, and can even save a lot of money.
After all, the price of books is rising sharply, and those who are slightly poor simply cannot afford so many books.
Time flew by, and Lu Qingyan had experienced so many worlds. This time, the test wasn't particularly difficult, so she passed it easily.
Zhao Guoan and Cao Bin were the same; although their scores weren't particularly high, they had already passed the admission line and could go to the schools they wanted to attend.
This time, Liu Yi made a bold decision: she planned to secretly follow these people to the examination hall, but she was discovered by the Guo family on the way.
